Referring to the action of the the Sioux
City and st. Paul road which has
ed the construction of a branch of it's road
from lake Heronaawestward, and the Ghica-
go, Milwaukee = st;yPaui extending the
Southern Minnesota road in a westerly di.
~rection, the Luverne Herald says: 2
Monday. Of last week they (the Sioux City
& st. PauD commenced grading with a
heavy force of men, exactly in the path of
the Southern Minnesota extension, via Pipe
stone and Flandreau. Several miles of road
are already graded and rumof. says that the
we'll known contractor, Mitchell Vincent,
has a contract for gradlng 90 miles from the
main line. Thus We have the edifying spec.
tacle Of two great railway companies start
ing from nearly the same point, traversing
the same country side BY side and making
the same points. What the outcome viii
be cannot be foretold. 1t is pretty generally
believed, however, that the St, Paul road
will push through as fast az possible this
season. There are various rumors aloat as
to the probable course ofthe Southern Min.
nesota, the most reasonable Of which seems
to be that they will purchase the Worthing-
ton q Sioux Falls branch of the Sioux City
4 St. Paul company and connect their line
with the same at Worthington and this be.
lief is strengthened by the we'll authentica.
ted report that they are now negotiating for
the purchase. Another conjecture il, that
they will bear southwark, and continue their
extension abouton a line between. Pipestone
and Rock counties, making Dell rapids a
point, and thence continue Westward.

The National Complaint.

Dyspepsia is the national complaint.
Almost every other ma or woman you
meet has it, and the result is that the
number of ps-udo-remed,es for 1t is az
numerous as Pharaoh's host. They are
Tor the most part worthless. There is,
however, a seal ching eradicant OF this
distressing and obdurate malady, one
whose genuine merits long since raised
it to a foremost place among the staple
medicines of America. Hostetter's
atom 1ch Bitiers extirpates dyspepsia
vi d greater certainly and promptitude
than any known remedy, and is a most
genial invigorant, appetizer and aid to
secretion. These are not empty asser-
tions, as thousands of our countrymen
and women who have experienced its
effects are aware, but are backed 10 by
i~rrefrasable proofs repeatedly Ia tef,re
'hs public. The Bitters also promote a
regular habit Of body and give a health
fui stimulus the urinary organs.

B In response to our in.
quiries as to the existence of lep-
rosy in the parish of Lafourche
the Thibodauz Sentinel says:
"That there were, and are
cases pronounced to be leprosy i'll
this Parish, is notorious. Mr..
Blllieu, Representative from this
Parish, in the last Legislature,
had an act passed directing the
State Board of Health to inves.
tlgate the subject, and the Police
Jury of this Parish appropriated
one hundred dollars to pay the
expenses of the Board OF Health
in this investigation. We do not
know what steps the Board o.
Health has taken in that direc-
ton, but if they expec: to gain
any information by letters they
may as we'll shut up shop. The
parties accused of being lepors
are well known, and ifa proper
authority came here they can
learn the name Of the families,
when the question can be settled
thoroughly"
Just once more, if the disease
exists why is it that no one is
willing to admit the fact in writ
ing? Why must the Board Of
Health investigate in person Or
"shut up shop?
