Matters begin to look more hope
full in regard to the completion Of the
Chicago, Clinton and Southwestern,
than at any time for years past. The
sale of the old grade from Ottumwa
to Sigourney, the full accout of which
taken from the Ottum,ca Courier, will
be found in another column, indicates
business. But if we are to have the
benefit of this line we must pay our
proportion. The Millersburg route
is as feasible as this, and people
along that line are willing to pay
literally to aid in its construction.
We have quite number of men who
seem to think that if this new COM
pany have taken hold of the enter
prise they will put it through with
out help. There is no better way to
defeat this last chance than by hold
ing back. We are advised that with
in sixty days parties will visit the
residents of this and other townships
along the old survey to ascertain
what amount of local subsidy will be
pledged, on the completion of the
road; now ifyou really want to see
this road built which will give this
country an outlet both to Chicago
and st. Louis, the prospect is fair,
but each man must give his proper
tion.- Western Herald, (South Eng

near the Oil Mill and while there the
men in the caboose got into fight,
which, judging by the noise that was
being made, was becoming serious
Constable Minnick, who lives in this
neighborhood heard the noise, and
thinking that he, armed with the law
would be sufficient to settle the dis
turbancc, boldly waded into the way
car and commanded the peace. lie
took hold of one fellow who seemed
to be bossing the job, with the
intent of quelling the muss. They
forgot their own troubles and with
one exception pitched on to the con-
stable and thumped him pretty lively,
They put mansard roof over one
eye, placed o confusion on his nose.
slapped him few times in the face
pounded him on the back OF the head
with pick handle and ended the
matinee by throwing him out of the
car.
When he landed small Irish lad
inquired of the constable: can did

He informed the lad that he was
not much sshurted," but it will be
sometime before he ventures into an
Irish row again, unless he can first be
assured of q safe retreat.

This township is Republican by 30 or
40 majority.
Wesley Hobbs, of Lee county is to
address the citizens Of this place on
the 26th, and we would like for Mr..
Hamilton to be here and reply to
him. Hobbs is the Democratic can
didate for Congress for the First Dis

ply of rot-gut for the occasion. The
delegates Of this county went to Fair
field on tho 14th to attend the Demo-
cratic county convention, and all OF
them that have been able to get back
say that since they have sobered of
they have come to the conclusion that
they will vote the Republican ticket.
One of them said when he came home,
leaning against house, that Indiana
had carried Ohio by $4,000 majority,
and Brookville, Talyrand and keo-

He has the picture Of rooster on q

enough to do them.

tie more cautious where he stands
hereafter.
Miss Maggie Crawley, this after
noon, met with o very painful and
serious accident. 1t seems that she
was at work at the residence OFF. w.
Garner, washing windows. She was
on the outside of the house, had a
chair on top of a table, on which she
was standing. when she fell, striking
her right hand against the window
breaking the glass, and in falling cut
her wrist nearly half off and besides
cut very wide and deep cash near
the elbow. DIR. Williamson was call
