CHICAGO AND NORTHWESTERN EXTENSION
Madison CLake County, Sentinel.

Madison Lake County, Sentinel.
From reliable sources we learn that par.
ties of surveyors in the employ of the
Winona and St. Peter railroad company are
at work respectively one and six miles
north of the line OF Lake county in the ad-
joining division o: Wood. The line of the
proposed route, work on which has already
been commenced at Tracy, Mimi, diverg.
ing from the kampeska branch and extend
ing westward in an almost straight line,
will intersect the following counties: Lyon
and Lincoln counties, Mimi, B%rookings
and Wood, Dakota, and extending from
thence on, will cross the James river and
probably strike the Missouri, the objective
point and probable terminus, at Fort Pierre,
This road, although it will not enter the
limits of Lake county, will be in the high.
est degree beneficial to our citizens. As it
will soon extend to the Missouri, fuel can
be obtained from hence at a much less ex-
peDse than at present from the more dis
tant east. From the lumber regions of
Minnesota, lumber can be shipped over
this route at q lower cost Of transportation
than by the other lines, and a means of
%dlsposing Of agricultural products within
seventeen or twenty-6v w miles, will be q
decided improvement on anything at this
date. The work of building the road be.
ing In the hands of the Chicago & North.
western company. BY which the Winona 6
st. Peter, q branch road, is owned. We may
expect a vigorous prosecution of the enter
prise, and within q year may reasonably ex
pect to hear the whistle of the locomotive
along the borders, if not within the bounds
of Lake county.

The Mississippi valley labor convention
convened at Vlcksburg on Monday, the an
nounced object of the gathering Of planter,
being the accomplishment of - better IN,
derstanding between capitalists, land own,
ers and laborers of the south." General w
r. Miles. was made president of the conven-
tion, and seated beside him on the platform
were four colored vice presidents, unani-
mously chosen by the. convention on the
unanimous recommendation of a committee
of twenty on ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. Rev.
Mr.. Jasper was correct. 1.-THE world do
move" The southern world has moved
Nry rapidly since the exodus began-since
the confederate congress developed its in.
tention to strike from the statutes the last
vestige of protection to the colored race. 1t
is moving so spontaneously and vigorously
that by the time those confederate represen-
tatives, and senators return to their homes
they will find themselves without a political
constituency. The president Of this conven:
ton went 80 far Is to state that 'the white
men who owned southern soil should be
honest in their dealings with colored men,"
Ex-Gov. Henry S. Foote, delegate from
the New Orleans cotton exchange, urged
both white and colored men to shut their
eyes to the past, and hand in hand work to-
gether for the future prosperity of their M:
tive land. The colored men present said
they were there to listen to proposition.
from white capitalists and land: owners and
that theirs was the role of silence until they
ascertained what concessions we're to be
made In their behalf.

An old physician, retired from

hands by an East India missionary
the formula of a simple vegetable
remedy, for the speedy and perma-
nent cure for consumption, bronchitis,
catarrh, asthma, and all throat and

radical cur for nervous debility and
all complaints, after having tested its
wonderful curative powers in thous-
ands of cases, has felt it his duty to
make il known to his suffering fell

About $50 men are at work clearing
away the wreck, and new iron is be-
ing shipped for the bridge. The ac-
cident is bound to delay the road for
ut least Il month if not more. The
bridge when completed will be of
the largest and h~andsomest structures
In the country.
Capt. Mitchell, with his railroad
transfer boat, ferries cars over the
river, and in this way supplies are
taken to the front. The road is COM
pfeted to within about 20 miles of
Kansas City. 1t will be completed
to Kansas City some time before the
bridge is done. The Idea seems to
be prevalent that the whole bridge fell
in. This is a mistake only the first
span was done, and only this one
fell in. If the whole three spans had
been finished and lost, it would have
been an enormous loss to the bridge
contractors.
The G. & A. extension will have
the best depots, best bridges and in
our judgment the best road in every
respect, in the West.

every care and attention that could
be given by one Of our best physicians

the other parties mentioned are con-

cept that each one knew what he was
doing when he went into this matter,
and we don't think one out of the
thirty three merchants will shirk the
responsibility. If they have put any
good paying citizens on the list, they
have made a mistake. As far as we
are concerned, if you don't like the
course we took in printing the pam
phlets, just crack your whip! We
are responsible, both financially and
physically, for everything we do.
We know nothing about whose name
is on the list. We refused to furnish
any names, for reasons of III own,
which WI think were good. We were
simply employed to print a lot of

sen word to Willie West, the %janitor

Murphy meeting Monday night;
hence about half-past six the large
crowd, as usual, (including ladies,)
regardless of the threatening weather,
began pouring in, but finding the
doors closed, and no light, they
showed a keen disappointment. Some
turned back, while others held g
position at the foot of the steps, de-
termined to have a Murphy meeting
anyhow. Soon that old war horse,
Judge Forrist, made his appearance,
and, as u having authority, soon
sent for West and had the hall lighted,
when quite a crowd assembled. The
regular programme had to be
dispensed with, owing to the false
report that got abroad, but the impro-

gone through with; when the chair
