AUSTIN, MINNESOTA:
THURSDAY MORNING, DEC. IL, 1879.
TO You. Citize No Of Austin.

For number Of years past there has
been little attention paid to matters look
ing to the prosperity and improvement
of Austin. We think the time has now
come when We can unite, or at least.
should unite, in a common effort to infuse
lite, enterprise and growth into our town.
The time for action is now-this winter.
We want two more railroads-the South
ern Minnesota, and more than all, an
Independent line from Austin to Mona
to connect with the Illinois Central. The
officials of the first named road have
promised to bring their line into Austin.
but their promises seem to be "nothing
but leaves" They promised survey as
soon as they could spare men from the
front. The summer has passed, the fall,
and winter is upon US, and nothing from
our dear friends Of the ). NJ. X. r. They
have trifled with our feelings. This win.
ter we should know whether this project
is to be carried forward or is to vanish be-
into thin air. Austin, the largest town
tween Lacrosse and Flandreau, is point
which the NJ. cannot afford to ignore.
There is no doubt but it is the intention
of the Co. to change their line to this
city, and if they would make public this
fact, this would he one of the factors
which would infuse new life into business
here. Next, some arrangement should
be made to secure the building of road
to Mona, Iowa, to run in harmony with
the Illinois Central. If the new enter
prise, "Austin, Mankato s. St. Cloud
Railroad Co.." does not do anything in
that line, we should build the road our
selves. There is sufficient capital in and
about Austin interested in this matter to
build railroad TO Mona, distance of
twelve miles Let US wake up, and
form plans this winter for an active
campaign in the spring. Where there's
a will there's way, and if weshow a
determination to succeed, we certainly
shall succeed.
We also want manufacturing enterprls-
es here, and capitalists should be shown
the advantages of Austin for manutac-
turing and distributing.
Where is our Austin Board of Trade ::
For years they have been just about on
the point Of doing some wonderful
thing for Austin, but as their meetings.
were secret, and their plans and purposes
hidden under bushel, and nothing won
derful in the city's advancement has
come to pass, We have come to the con-
clusion that nothing wonderful has been
accomplished by the Austin Board Of
Trade. Now, don't get angry. gentlemen,
because VIC stir you up little. You mean
we'll ,and talk well, but We want something
elsc-acts0n.
Better times are at hand all over the
country, and we are very DESTROYS Austin
should receive her full share Of prosper
ity. We are going to stop fighting now,
and tend to business.

THE BACK PENSIONS OF THE INMATES OF

BE PAID?
Fifty inmates of the Soldiers Home at Hampton,
Va. and other institutions for disabled soldiers will
on Monday next make application in the Supreme
Court OF the District Of Columbia for writ of man
damus addressed to the Commissioner of Pensions
to compel him to show why he does not pay
them their arrearages of pension money instead OF
paying it to the governors of the homes. The Pc
titioners, who are mostly in the Home at
Hampton. allege that the majority of them have but
recently entered the Home and some have nearly
$4,000 due them for back pensions, which amount.
they could obtain it, would enable them to engage
in some business enterprise. nice question of law
Is involved in the matter. The veterans admit that
the governors have tho right by law to retain the
pension money accruing during the time that they
are inmates of the institutions, but they deny their
right to retain the money which accrued prior to
their becoming dependent upon the homes for sup
