The Necedah Railroad.

We are informed that at the special
election held at Necedah on Saturday
last, on the question of appropriating
aid to tie Railroad from Necedah to
this place, as provided for in chapter
80 laws of 1877, the result was 149
votes in favor 81 against the propos-
ition. we understand that the neces-
sary means are now provided for the
grading, bridging and tieing, and as
the iron and rolling stock have been
arranged for, the projectors confidently
expect that within 80 days the iron
horse will be snorting at Necedah.
This event, we predict, will give to
Necedah and the northern part of Ju,
neau county such advantages as will
insure the speedy development Of their
many resources and build up at Niece
dab thrifty, enterprising city.
The building Of the projected bridge
across the Wisconsin river, will also
give to the people of Adams county
market at their doors, whereas they
now have to go from 80 to 10 miles to
market. Who will say that these en-
terprises will not develope Juneau
county, and revolutionize the present
tedious aud expensive ways of doing
things. Giving Necedah the G. NJ.
s. St. Paul Railway, enables her to
reach the principal cities and the
most important markets in the west
for her products-all on a single line
Of road, without tedious and expen-
sive transfers. The abundance of roll
ing stock, and the low freight rates
to be secured by this arrangement,
together with the superior quality of
the product, will enable Hecedah man
ufacturss to complete successfully with
any place in the west.
We shall now be looking for shat
road from the south, which is said to
be a certainty in the near future.-Ju-
neau County Argus.

CastOria is q perfect substitute for
Castor Oil, without any of its objec-
ton, for it is pleasant to take, and does
not nauseate or grippe. For Costive-
ness at any age, but especially for Sour
Stomach, Wind Collie, Worms and the
Disordered Bowels Of Children, it is
the most effective remedy in existence.
1t is harmless, it is reliable, and it is
cheap.

The IMPoRrANr oUReraoy,

OF all loathsome diseases, Cstarrh stands pre-
eminent. 1t renders its victim as disgusting to
himself as to Others. And the most hnmihating
of all is the Consciousness that his presence is Of
fensive to those AROUND him. If amy disease de-
serves the name of universal, it is this. Dietet-
ic errors and the fOllies which Fashion imposes
upon us tend to foster and disseminate it. To
the pitiful cry of its Victims 10 there aHy for
CatdrTh there il but ono answer consistent with
Christian reason. God has never sent one evil
into the world for which lie has not sent the
edy. For the greatest of all spiritual and moral
evils, the Great Physician has prescribed po-
tent and never failing remedy. He has given cy-
plicit rules for the treatment and preservation
of the spiritual and moral man, but He is silent
in all mat tiers relating To the physical man. 1t
would be an INV arrantable detraction from his
benefeient character to suppose that He has af-
fiicted the greater portion of humanity with an
incurable disease. The day of plaques is past.
The God of Christianity is q God of Love, of Mer-
cy, His message is good will to all men," The
earth and all contained therein was intended by
the great Designer to supply mans wants; aud
surely he has no greater wants than remedies
for his infirmities. Science is rapidly proving
that the earth is fitted to supply mans utter
most need. New medicinal plants are constant
ly being discovered, and new properties develop
ed from those already known. For Catarrh, the
most potent remedy yet discovered is DR.. Sages
Catarrh Remedy. Its efficacy has been tested
in many thousand cases with uniform success.
Cases that had been repeatedly pronounced in
curable, readily yielded to it. In confirmed, or
obstinate cases, DR.. Pierce,s Golden Medical Dis
c overy should be taken in connection with the
use of the Catarrh remedy. Full particulars in
Pierce's Memorandum Books They are given
away by druggists.

TROY, KANSAS:
Thursday, =: February s, 1877.

The NKw SENAToR.-Senator P. B. Plumb is .
native of Ohio, aged about 40 years, twenty OF
which he has spent in Kansas. He has been
newspaper editor, lawyer, banker, soldier,
and member Of the Legislature. During all
the years we have known him, we have found
but one serious fault with him. He went on
with the Liberal Republican faction, in 1877, and
was q member of the Cincinnati Convention that
nominated Greeley. But he soon got ashamed OF
it, and subsequently took no active part in the
campaign. We supposed this would be fatal to
his Senatorial aspirations-in fact, he is the only
Greeley man who has received any honors at the
hands of the Republican party of Kansas But
he has been an active Republican since his Gree
ley misadventure, and especially did good work
in the late campaign.
Mr.. Plumb made his first appearance in the
Legislature st the same session we did; and we
happened to be placed on a committee together,
to investigate certain alleged printing gobbles.
Some peculiar practices were brought to light,
and the bulk of the irregularities" fell upon E.
G.. Ross. Plumb has now been elected to the
seat to which Ross was chosen ten years ago.
We hope aud expect that he will leave it with
more honor than Ross did.

BEGINS TO SEE 1.-THE Manhattan Nationalist
is one of the few papers in Kansas that find ev-
erything too corrupt for their pure eyes, and has
been in the habit of pitching into everything and
everybody promiscuously. But in its last issue,
it acknowledges that every time it slashes into
some great wrong for the public good, the friends
of the wrong withdraw their patronage, while
the good people who urged it on hug their pock-
etbooks still closer, and let it fight the battle
out. It thinks there il no encouragement for
newspaper Independence. This is precisely the
platform the Chief laid down long ago, and an
nounced its determination to work for money, the
same as all other trades and professions did. We
remember that were denounced as mercenary
and in the market, and all that sort of thing.
We are still in the market, and find that others
are getting in the same fix.

IF There is paper called the Bee, published
at Norton, Norton County, that has adopted an
economical idea with regard to type cases. 1t
dspeuses altogether with an Italic case, and has
its Italic distributed among the Roman letter,
just as it occurs. This saves the compositor the
trouble of running to the Italic to emphasize
words, and introduces the novel feature of en-
phssizing letters in words, thus: How, Office, the,
admirable, bat, His, Mr., etc. Occasionally q
bold-face letter is stuck into the middle of .
word, to increase the emphasis. We like the
style, and hope to see it adopted by all the lead
ing papers.
