Will celebrate the coming in of the
New Year by a general reduction Of To-
cal ticket fares from Fsoe Cents to -Four
Gents, per mile on all divisions of their

the Railroad Commissioners Office that
these companies in more than twelve years
of operation have never killed or injured
any passenger or lost q piece Of baggage.
Their express trains are equipped with
the Miller platforms, and Westinghouse
Automatic Air Brakes, and in everything,
pertaining to the safety and comfort Of
passengers, and to regular speed and con-
nections, are not excelled By any in the

atcly says in its issue OF the 9th Fcbrua
ry upon the question Of the division Of
the Territory on ,hc1Ooth meridian, tha,

uals, prepared for the signatures OF the
people, but few if any Of the country peo.
pie will become interested enough to give
| any expression upon the matter 1t may
be useless to make any protest, or none
may be needed, but it certainly looks as if
a full an expression should be obtained
as possible OF those who do not desire the
division of the Territory, net only rs an
effort to defeat the scheme, but in justice
to our worthy Delegate Judge Kidder.--
/ His position as to this matter is a peculiar
one. He was elected to represent the en-
tire Territory, and this contemplated di-
vision, necessarily occasions division of
sentiment, which Gun not be done without
conflict with some portion Of his constit-
IL ency. @@s &.#
The advocates Of this scheme of course
are working for their own interest, and
their arguments are wholly in favor Of
their measure regardless Of the wishes or
injustice to others. E& ~
1t will make no difference as to the re-
suit what our opinion is of course, but in
candor, we think that the sentiment Of the
residents of Dakota Territory, cast of the
meridian line designated as the eastern
boundary of the pro posed Lincoln Terri
tory is universal against the division. 4
Our present boundaries are largo enough
for two. and even three states, but the
cream and the Lions share, would under
the proposed change be awarded to the
new Territory. ..
Setting aside all sclfshness it can truth
fully be dcclaredi an unfair proposition,
and Judge Kidder would be fully justified

Land Grant.

A Bill has passed both houses Of the Leg
islaturd, which awards the forfeited lands
of the McGrcgor road to the Milwaukee
and St. Paul Company. AS we understand
this company bind themselves to construct
the road at once, or a certain distance this
year, and to complete a junction with the
Sioux City & St. Paul within two years.
Sheldon seems now to be we'll assured of
receiving the road, and they anticipate
that 1t will rcuch there the coming season.
There is no road in the North Westunder
construction, the mpletion Of which will
occasion more genuine rejoicing to large
extent Of country than this road. For
years people west Of, and along the line
have hoped, worked and prayed for the
completion, and many have despalred and
when the hopper continued It's rayagcs,
many left.
! For northern Iowa it is the regulator
of its future, and so will it be for that por-
ton of Dakota that ultimately will pass
through.
That road will give us the direct outlet
to Milwaukee, the best grain market OF
the west should it be continued to the
Sioux or beyond it. A fine stretch ot
country between here and Sheldon would
pay an immense tribute to the road, and
the Yermjllion and James River Valley
would make magnificent feeders, and they
will sooner or later have an outlet. Lin
coin County people feel a great interest in
the extension Of this road as it was the
first one projected In this direction and
surveys were made to this locality The
people between here and Sheldon would
aid materially towards the building
and it is highly probable tlla tbefore two
years passes that cars marked G. NJ. s. St. p.
will be loading with wheat upon the banks
Of the Sioux.

"A PRINTER's M1sFuRTUS E.-Somc
years ago when the writer was a reporter
upon all Eastern paper, 1t dcvolyed on
him to write for the same edition an nc
count of the presentation of a gold-headed
cane to the Rev. Dr. Nudge, the clergy
man of the place, and a description of a
new hog killing machine that had just
been put in operation at the factory Now
what made Mr.. Nudge mad was this: The
inconsiderate buccaneer who made up
the form got the two locals mixed in u
frightfu, manner, and when we went to
press. something like this was the appal-
ing result:
Some of Mr.. Mudges friende called on
him yesterday, and after brief consulta-
ton the unexpected hog was slid along
the beam until he reached the hot water
tank. His friends explained the object of
their visit and presented him withsa hand
some gold headed butcher, whe grabbed
him by the tail, and swung him around,
and in less than a minute the carcass was
in the water. There upon he came for
ward and said there were times when the
feelings overpowered one, and for that
reason he would not attempt to do more
than thank those around him, for the man
ner in which so huge an animal was cut
in fragments was astonishing. The Doc
tor concluded his remarks, the machine
seized him, and in less time than it takes
to write it the hog vas cut into fragments
and worked into delicious sausages The
occasion will be remem bered by the doc
tors friends as one of the most delightful
Of their lives The best pieces can be OBJ
tained for fifteen cents per pound, and we
are sure those who have sat under his
ministry, will rejoice to hear that he has
been so handsomely treated.
Mad! Well, about nine o'clock that
morning the office had been abandoned by
every man but the advertising clerk, and
he ascended to the root and robed himself
in boiler iron, so that he could see the
clergyman tearing around down in the
street with his congregation, al wearing
the panoply ofwar, and carrying butcher
knives and things The next day we
apologized, but the doctor stopped his
subscription. - Peoples Ledger.
