st. Paul & Chicago Short-line Rail

The new st. Paul and Chicago
Short-Line Railway. which is to be-
come a new feeder to Chicago, from
st. Paul and the far Northwest, has
been surveyed throughout its whole
length, and its completion at an early
day is confidently promised. The
road will leave st. Paul on the east
side of the Mississippi, crossing the
st. Croix river at Prescott, bill be-
ing now before Congress to grant
the right to construct the bridge.
From Prescott the road will contin.
ne down the east bank of the Missis-
sippi, passing through Maiden Rock,
Alma, Fountain City, Onalaska, La
Crosse,to the mouth of the Bad Axe,
about twenty miles south of La
Crosse, where it leaves the Missis-
sippi, bears off east, crossing the di.
vide five miles below Viroqus Con.
tinuing a little east of south it crosses
the Klckapoo at Reedstown, then
follows down Mill Creek, in Richland
county, crossing the Wisconsin river
q mile west of Muscods, thence up
the Blue river to Eden, from there
along the ridge to Dodgeville, and
then directly south to Mineral Point,
where running connections will Be
made with the Mineral Point railway
to Warren and to Chicago on the
Illinois Central via Freeport and
Forreston. A bill now before the
Legislature of Wisconsin, authorizes
the company to build bridges across
the Chippewa and Wisconsin rivers.

how 'the clouds Of foreign war were
scattered" and safety established in
a vast unsettled frontier, giving life
to all branches of industry. Obedi
ence to a call of duty was the gov
erning rule of his life. He again re-
turned to his farm at the close of his
second administration where he spent
the remaining days of his life. The
original manuscript of his farewell
address was sold at auction, Feb. II,
1850, and was purchased by James
Lenox of New York for $4,000.
Washington left America but once
and then only to accompany his
brother to the Island Barbados where
he remained tut few weeks. He
was accustomed each day to ride
around his plantation. Such survey
was last taken on Thursday Dec. IL,
1889. During this ride il rained and
showed, and Washington remaining
out until he became very wet, took
cold. The next day he complained
somewhat but did not feel much
alarmed. He gradually grew worse.
On Saturday morning a physician
was summoned. No power Of man
could then give any relief. The time
had eventually arrived when he
should cease his labors here and en-.
ter into the rest of his glory.
Some of his last words as he lay
on his death. bed were: 81 die hard,
but | am not afraid to CO." In about
four hours he again revived little
and said: 81 am just going," and
shortly after remarked, at is well. +"
lie never spoke again. This was at
IL o'clock, p. M, Dec. IA, 1899. AS
the tidings spread over the country,
the death of the nations father was
mourned by the people as personal
bereavement. Although at the time
of his death he held 1870 slaves,yet he
was a just and considerate master.
He gave up the cultivation of tobac-
CO because he thought it affected
the health Of those working it.
1t must not be understood that he
favored slavery, for such was not the
case. He once said, "There is not a
man living who wishes more sincere
ly than | do to see plan adopted
for the abolition of slavery" Could
he have lived until his noble follower
penned the Emancipation Proclama-
ton he would probably have passed
away with more confidence in the
future we'll being OF America. Defeat
following defeat during the kevolu-
ton nearly shook at times even the
well established popularity of Wash.
ingtoE, but the nation,if l may so call
it at that time, received him not at his
worst, not at his average, but at his
best. He was always hopeful while
others were Respondent. A position
like his through a seven years war
shows that the cause was embodied
in him and in his hold on the heart
of the people. 1t has been said that
he was "first in war, first in peace,
and first in the hearts Of his country,
men,"
To all the other traits of excellence
in his character, he added profound
convictions of religious truth.
To pronounce him perfect would
be to attempt to raise him above the
level of humanity, but history pre-
sents no one to contest his title as
"The greatest of good men and the
best of great men,"

alt is given out that Mr.. Blaine
has concluded to make an active
and vigorous canvass for the Presi-
Dental nomination." etc. These
words begin an article in the Inter
Ocean affecting to lecture Blaine for
going into an active scramble for
the nomination. Such insinuations
are despicably low. The Inter
Ocean editors know as we'll as
they know their heads are on their
shoulders that Blaine himself has
nothing to do with the scramble"
He probably does not know there is
such man as "Mr. Root" whom the
Inter Ocean charges with being the

SENATOR GARLAND reported a bill
from the Judiciary Committee amend.
ing the present laws relating to biga-
my and polygamy. 1t imposes a fine
Of not more than $500, and not more
than five years imprisonment upon
every person who has a husband or
wife living and who hereafter marries
another. 1t declares that any man
who marries more than one woman is
guilty of bigamy. This provision does
not extend to any person whose hus-
band or wife has been absent five
years and their whereabouts I'M
known or whose lawful marriage has
been dissolved by the decree of
competent court. 1t is intended as
severe blow on Mormonism, but gives
them chance of being relieved from
punishment for past offences, by get.
ting pardon from the President for
all offences committed prior to Janu-
ary /, 1879.

The pupular impression, strengthened by
