THE Board of Supervisors at their last
meeting, passed a resolution declaring to-
bacco not part of the relief of the poor
contemplated by law, and refusing to
audit bills for that article hereafter The
Board is undoubted sound on the premises
laid down. Tobacco is not one of the
necessities of life. But it seems to us
that unless the cost of tobacco furnished
the poor amounts to more considerable
sum than we imagine it does, 1t would
have done no harm to have supplied it to
them. To be poor and unfortunate is not
always crime, and it often happens that
the pipe is all the solacc remaining to Il
poor, worn out old man or woman who is
compelled 10 subsst on public charity
Acknowledging the correctness Of the
Boards theory, we should say, give the
paupers their tobacco in reasonable
amount.

WHAT THE CENTRAL WILL Do. The
Fort Dodge Times, referring to the return
of Hon. J. F. Duncombe, for consulta-
ton with the Illinois Central managers, at
Chicago, upon the adoption of the Iowa
freight tariff, says, apparently by author,
ity:
Contrary TO general expectation, and
the programme of some other trunk lines,
the Illinois Central has not raised the in
ter-State tariff to cover the loss by the re-
duction of the local tariff but has adopt.
ed schedule of rates extending from
Sioux City to Chicago, in conformity to
the spirit and letter of the Iowa tariff law
This is done in good faith, to test the
question as to whether the expenses of the
road can be maintained under the law,
the management being determined to deal
fairly and squarely by the people along
the entire line of road.
The road will be run at the bottom
round of economy. No improvements
looking to the future wants and benefits
to towns and stations along the line will
be INDUCED in The proposed improve
ments in Fort Dodge, for instance, look.
ing to an outlay OF $4,000 this year, and
the permanent establishment of division
here, and shops forming the nucleus OF
central railroad repair shops which would
disburse thirty to fifty thousand dollars
per month, will be postponed indefi.

THE STORM We hear that the storm
of the early part of this week did very
serious damage to the track of the Bur
lington road, north of this city. The
track from Maynard to Postville is for
miles completely washed out, and between
Maynard and West Union it is estimated
that it will take ten days to repair the
damage done. A force of men, includ-
ing forty bridge builders, went north this
morning to work on the line. The flood
submerged the embankment north of the
bridge across the Wapsie, near this city,
and it was only by the most determined
exertions of large number of men, and
the use of bags of earth, which were
thrown into the openings as fast as they
appeared, that it was saved from destruc-
