Railroad Wars in Wisconsin.

Railroad Wars in Wisconsin.
There is genuine railroad war in
Wisconsin between the two great powers in
the transportation traffic of the Northwest.
The Milwaukee & St. Paul company has oper-
ated the Madison & Portage line Of railroad
since its completion on q contract which by
itsterms could be ended at any time by either
party. The prospective completion OF the
Wisconsin Central to Ashland on Lake Supe-
rior early In the spring makes this line espe.
oially valuable as connecting line. The en-
ergetic officers OF the Chicago & Northwestern
were not slow in seeing this, and took steps to
secure that connection. The contract with
the Milwaukee company was discontinued by
Mr.. Campbell, owner Of the road, and q con-
tract drawn with the Chicago & Northwestern
company, which company has taken posses
sion Of the road, but the Milwaukee company
refuses to withdraw. The sympathies OF the
northern and western portion Of the State are
with the Chicago & Northwestern folks, as
since the affairs OF that company have been
under the management of President Keep
there has been manifest disposition on the
part Of the management to serve the public
interests by all the means in the company's
power, and this is q move to perfect the
Eorthwestern's system in the State.

Good, till Contratlictcd.

The Rutland (Vt.) Herald of Thurs
day is the medium through which the follow
ing story was made public: "There is great
rejoicing ameng the friends of p. Turney, OF
Waterbury. They knew that he was in the
United States Army, and at the time General
Custer was killed by the Indians he was also
reported killed. His father has now received
letter from him saying that he was with
General Custer when the General and nearly
all his men were killed by the Indians last
summer, but he made his escape in manner
truly wonderful, according to his account of
1t. He feigned to be dead, and lay with the
killed until most Of the Indian warriors had
passed him, and when he was discovered by
an Indian, he says he killed the Indian and
dressed himself in the Indians clothing. and
escaped to the forest. The Indians who saw
him on his way to the woods supposed he was
one OF their warriors on duty. When in tile
woods he concealed himself, and afterward
made his way to his way to his friends in safe

Affairs IN Louisiana.

Both the Republican and the Demo.
cratic candidates for Governor OF Louisiana
were inaugurated at New Orleans on the 9Th
inst. There was no fuss nor threats. Gov.
Nichols, who was inaugurated by the Demo
cratic legislature, promised in his inaugural
address to obliterate the color line and to ex-
eoute the laws and maintain public peace.
The balcony OF st. Patrick's Hall, from which
the address was delivered was draped with the
dags OF all nations. The crowd in attendance
was estimated at ten or fifteen thousand.
The police around the State house prevent
ed q crowd from entering to witness Gov.
Packard's Inauguration, and perfect quiet
reigned. In his inaugural, the Governor
said he should invoke all the powers confer
red upon him to enforce obedience to the
laws Of the State, and enduring peace.

Riot in q Reform ScbOO1.

A serious riot took place at the
Westboro (Mass.) State Reform School, on
the 18th. About one hundred boys were en-
gagged in the uprising, and the signal was
given by shutting off the gas in the school
rooms. The fight was desperate one for a
few minutes, every article Of furniture in two
OF the rooms being completely demolished.
The officers succeeded in keeping the rioters
in the rooms until help WAS summoned, and
then subdued them by the free use of water
from the hydrant. None of the officers OF
men were seriously hurt, and none of the
boys escaped.

Heating Stove that Embraces Every Dcsid.
Gratum.


In this climate one of the most i'm.
portant things to have in the family,
in the store and in the workshop, is a
stove which will generate a large
amount of heat with small amount of
fuel. Such an invention has been made
by James E. Gridley, of st. Paul, and
the Pioneer Press of that city thus
speaks of it:
Mr.. II. M. Ranney is now manufac.
turing these stoves in St. Paul, at No.
IL Robert street, and though the works
have been in operation but short
time, several hundreds of them are al
ready in use. so promptly does the
new principle convince those who ex-
anime it of its perfect adaptability to
the ends aimed at. No better test of
Gridley's heaters can be asked for
than the testimonials of those who
are now using them, and the more
they are used the more satisfactory
will they be found.
The merits of this stove are numer.
Gus, but they can be summarized
briefly as follows: All the heat fur
nished by the fuel is preserved and
none is wasted; the heat is evenly dis.
tributed throughout the space to be
heated; the atmosphere in the room is
constantly changing, for the cold air
is naturally drawn up through the four
f1ues and carried into the chamber
where it is super.heated and thrown

Christmas Gift from tho Younsers.

The Faribault Republican says Sher-
if Barton, who had charge Of the Youngers
while in Jail, ''has received very handsome
and valuable present on Christmas last, from
Miss Retty Younger, sister of the Younger
brothers. in the shape OF a solid gold watch
chain. The chain formerly belonged to Col.
Younger, father OF the bandits. If the OUT
laws were still under charge Of Sheriff Barton,
at this place, the receipt Of such valuable
present would look rather suspicious on his
part, but as they are now safely lodged in the
State Prison, and entirely out Of his reach,
where he could not render then any assist
ance i. he desired so to do, the TACT of the ac-
oeptance Of the gift is not open to the object

The defendants we're respectively terryman

pass back a certain number Of tickets taken
up and the ferry master would reissue them.
The frauds by three-cent ferry tickets alone
reached the enormous sum OF between sixty
thousand and seventy thousand dollars. So
general did the conspiracy become that the
honest employees were known as 'sneids'

Deadwood and other mining camps at the
Hills, is by far the best, and the shortest by
from fifty to one hundred and fifty miles, with
plenty of fresh water, and over level that

advertising the advantages of this route will

Of the passengers and freight destined tor the

Crook Believes In Indian Scouts.

Gen. Crook has unbounded faith in
the successful working Of the plan Of the en-
listment Of friendly Sioux as scouts. An in.
stance Of their value is found in the fact that
in the last campaign against the Cheyenne,
wherein the Snake and Pawnees had followed
their circular trails for several days, the
Sioux darted out in direct line and struck
the village at once, the surprise proving SC
complete that many Cheyennes fled without
even moccasin on their feet, with the Their.
mometer several degrees below zero.

The new year snow storm in the
Eastern States was the heaviest known for a
number of years. Nearly all the railroads in
New Englau dwere blockaded, and in Boston,
owning to the amount of snow from the roofs
and sidewalks, together with that which fell
in the streets, 'tLe horse cars were unable to
make their usual trips, and thousands had to
wade through the snow for miles to their
places of business. Travel was greatly I'M

The mercantile markets are still Sc
