We learn that some parties living in and
near Beloit, Lyon county, are working up
an interest in the LeMars and Beloit mar
row-g -guage railroad, and an agent has gone
east to see what can be done in the way
Of raising funds Those who know tell
us thai the amount of money demanded
by the Sioux City & Pembina railroad Ito
extend that road as far north as BeloiD
will build and put In running order a mar
rowguage road from LeMars to that point.
A railroad will Gel ltainly be built through
Lyon county IN the near future; would
it not be better for LeMars to be one of
the termini than to have said road run to
some other less progressive town? This
IS a matter III which all Of of our people
are directly interested, and we should like
to have an expression of opinion. lie

The Liberal is ah cad ofus if the above
is statement of facts. Diligent inquiry
of some of the leading men OF Beloit has
failed to establish the aboYe statement, as
true and not one of the prominent proper
ty owners of Beloit have had any idea of
the carrying out of such plan and can
only trace the suggestion to some individ-
ual who has no means OF his own, and less
brain. However there is ample room for
Railroads from LeMars and all directions

Press Dakotaian
The lecture delivered by Theodore Til
ton last eye at the Congregational church,
drew crowded house, goodly number
being present from surrounding towns.
The speaker was introduced by Bartlett
Tripp, chairman Of the lecture committe.
He prefaced his remarks with the state
ment that this was his first appearance on
Dakota soil and then went into the subject
Of "The Problem of life" The develop
ment OF character was the problem set
forth and to attain it, wealth power, fame
learning aud happiness were not requisite.
His demand was for purer condition
of public and private morals, better ed
ucation of rising generations and equality
of the sexes. All these matters pertained
to the formation of character. Each point
in the discourse was amplifed and COM
prehcnsive comparison drawn between the
morals of the ancients and the morals of
the moderns. Though his deductions were
not flattering TO the people of to-day, they
were so clearly living truths that no man
can gainsay them. The lecture was the
polished elfor, of scholar who has added
experience to the knowledge he has de-
rived from books.
Tllton has grown old fast in the past
six years. A silver shade fringes his long
locks and his face is scared with the heavy
burrows of care. Fortltude was his lead
ing theme last night, but with all his will
power it is apparent that his fortitude
does not prevent trouble from placing its
mark upon him. He has grown, too,
synical in his thoughts AMI sarcastic in
his utterances These are the differences
between Theodore Tillon of to-day and
Theodore Tilton as We remember him Il
few years ago. lie has lost, however, none
of his brlliancy as q speaker, and still
stands the peer Of the best.
Last nights lecture was the most salts.

est in entertainments of this nature is grad
ualy growing and it should be fed and
encouraged to liberal dimensions.
