A prominent feature OF the Mount

religious character. Everything was
made su bordinate to the religious prin-

given to the literary part of the instruc-

ST. PAUL ACQUISITIONS.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul is just
now proving that it cal purchase roads and
make accessions to its system as well rs the
Gould syndicate. Only few days ago The
TRIBUNE announced that this road had about
succeeded in purchasing the Chicago j. Pacific
Railroad, which will enable it to run its West
ern Union and Iowa branches direct to this
city instead of by way of Milwaukee, and
now comes the report that. it:has purchased
the Dakota Southern, better known as the
Wicker Road, because it was built and until
now run by Mr.. G. e. Wicker, of this city.
The Dakota Southern runs from Sioux City,
Ia, to Yanllton, Oak, a distance Of sixty-one
miles. The Sioux City & Pembina Railroad
is said to be Included in the purchase The
evident design of the Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railway in purchasing this road seems to be
to get control of tht principal routes to the
Black Hills and to Manitoba
This Milwaukee & St Paul is also reported
to have obtained control Of the Southern
Minnesota Railroad, and will soon take
charge of the same. This road runs from
La Crosse, Wis, to Pipestone, near, Sioux
Falls, and is being pushed forward to Ynnk-
ton,; The length Of this road is 290 miles.
It has also a surveyed line to Bismarck, Oak.
With these roads in its possession the Mill
waukee g. St. Paul Is in an excellent position
to control the bulk Of the business from the
Hills, and will, besides, be enabled to make
an effective fight against the Sioux City &
St. Paul Railroad, which has been hobnObblng
lately with Jay Gould.
