Rev.O. L. Riggs one of the most valuable

Twas indicted about a year ago at Rapit

was one Of the many prosecutions or perse
%cutions instigated BY those virtuous reform

9 ciers, Hayt and Hammond. Mr.. Riggs
however, was permitted to remain in bliss
8 full ignorance of the Indictment, and kne,
nothing of it until appfised BY a friend
%whereupon he wrote to the attorney genera
for further information, and was Informed
thatthe case against him had, on examina'
ton, been nolle pros'd. As the foundation
for Mr.. Riggs indictment was of the same
character as those upon which a number Of
others stand charged, it is altogether proba.
BILE that the action in his case il an index
to the remainder, and Hayt and Hammond
will have to acknowledge another failure al
complete as their savings bank venture
and similar to them in one respect, that i,
each case the people have to foot the bill
and stand the losses.

FACES

The human face is not only "the index of,
the soul" Every bodily sensation leaves
It's indellible trace upon the features. Every,
human face, If studied attentively, reveals
the physical and mental history of its pos-
sessor. On the crowded streets Of the city
what volumes of these histories are open to
all who would search them. The miser
with his features drawn as tightly as the
openings Of his money bags; the debauchee
with his sensual %semi-animal face; the young
man with his future fair and broad before
him, every line Of his couutenance revealing
energy and ambition; the maidens face
bright with innocent love and hope,-each
Of these face-histories is as legible as the
printed page before you. But there are
other faces in which we may read sad histo-
ries-faces Of work.weary women, to whom
living has become an, irksome task. The
fatal alphabet ofdisease is written in every
line Of their countenances. Why will these
women suffer from debility and those pain
full diseases and weaknesses peculiar to their
sex, losing besidee the charm and beauty Of
bright healthful face, when DR.. Pierce's
favorite Prescription Is . sure and efFectual
remedy Ladies who have used it pro-
in to be woman's eliriir Of health.

THE RAILROAD OUTLOOK.
The Latest Information In RcKard TO 'hs
Movements OF the e. NJ. Z ss.r'
Railroad.

Moycmxnts Of h e. NJ. 4 ~. 2.
Railroad.
From W. D. Russell, who returned yes
terday from q trip to Sioux Falls and osher
points in the Sioux Valley, We gather some
further particulars in regard to the move
ments of the Chicago, Milwaukee &Ss fAul
Railroad. r3f
Costian will be made the railroad town at
tho Vermillion river, and some twelve miles
further northwest, in township 90, range 81,
land has been purchased by the company
and another town will be located. At the
latter point the branch road, which is to run
in a 'southwesterly direction, is to be started.
From this place the survey has been made,
the line located and the right of way secur'
ed for the branch to the west line of TurDer
county. From thence . preliminary survey
has been made to the Jim river, at Max
Wells mill at the mouth of Dawson creek.
1t is generally conceded that this line will
be adopted, and that from the Jim river the
route will be up Dawson creek to Scotland,
from thence in . southwesterly direction
through Bon Homme county to Emanuel
creek, down that stream to the Missouri
river, and along the river to a point oppo-
site Niobrara. ~
One of the principal contractors on the
line has been ordered to commence work on
this branch, and has procured his supplies
and ordered his outfit to rendezvous at the
initial point of the branch. There is nc
doubt but that grading will be commenced
in a few days.
1t is also indicated that . radical change
is to be made at Firesteel. Instead of run
ming west from that place the road will b
built northward along the valley to = poin
nearly due east Of Fort Pierre, when it viii
turn west and run directly TO the Missouri
river at the latter place. This change /
the programme is evidently made for tn
purpose Of heading off: the Sioux ECit
and St. Paul branch from Heron Lake an
the Northwestern branch from Tracy, Nil
nesota. $500.
This is the present outlook. Whethe
the possibilities to which it points will |
consummated time alone will reveal.

fearful manner. MIR. Pressey seenk
