The Austin and Mankato Railroad.

The Austin and Mankato Railroad.
The committee appointed at the last
meeting Of the board Of trade to canvass
for stock subscriptions to this road, have
met with good encouragement in their
work, aud in q few hours, last Tuesday
placed about fifty shares.
On Wednesday evening, Mr.. Officer, OF
Austin, accompanied by N. B. Evarts, Of
Iowa, the gentleman engaged to make the
preliminary survey, arrived here, to per-
feet arrangements for the same. Az ex.
animation Of the Thomson ravine devel-
ored satisfactory route for entering this
city, though requiring some heavy work.
A very desirable line was also found
from the highland in the rear of the city
to Wlnnebago Agency, and the results of
Mr.. Evarts' examination in this regard
were quite satisfactory. These gentle
men left for Austin on Friday morning,
from whence the survey will be COM
menced. 1t is also the intention of Mr..
Evarts to obtain right of way, as far as
practical, when passing over the route.
MI. Evarts is very competent engineer,
in whose judgment and engineering abili-
ty the officers eff the Illinois Central have
the fullest conhdence.--Mankato Reuiep,

= Raster Sunday was celebrated in Faribault
by To Knight Templar Masons. Sir
Kni91as, in full uniform, headed by the
Northwestern band, marched to 'theaEpisco-
pal church. The house of worship was elabo-
rately embelished with flowers, which had a
pleasing aspect. Rev. G. b. Whipple, also q
Sir knight, preached a sermon which was
more particularly addressed to the Sir
Knights, but nevertheless was listened to by
the congregation with veneration. The house
was literally damned, many being unable to
procure seat at all, while the entrance doors
were crowded to get view of the ceremony.
The knight Templars of St. Paul and Mime
apolis also celebrated Easter Sunday In the
latter city in Gethsemane Episcopal church,
los Knights being present at the service. The
sermon was preached by DR.. Knickerbacker.
He said it is the bounden duty of the Knights
Templar to exert their influence in favor of
Christianity, and in every way as citizens and
men to pay homage to Christ, our Savior and
King. Though we live in an age when it is.not
necessary to draw our swords in defense of
our religion. the times do demand that we be
outspoken in word and deed in resisting the
attacks Of the infdel and atheist who arc
holy name, and pluck from our Redeemer's
brow the crown Of immortality and divinity
The preacher then enforced the lessons de
rived from the resurrection of Christ, and en-.
Joined upon the Knights the duty of giving
evidences of their growth in Christian graces

1T can almost be asserted that ST.. IA
coBs OH works wonders. Shortly before
the New Year, when I visited my family
in Mitchell, I found my son Edward, a
lad little more than ten years old, very
sick. He suffered with Rheumatism, and
30 terribly that he was perfectly stiff in
his limbs, could not possibly walk, and
had to be carried from place to place.
At once sent for some ST. JACOBS OH,
used it according 10 directions, aud in q
few days could see evidence of considera
BILE improvement. On the tenth of this
month I again. visited my family and
was astonished to find him we'll and heart
y. He once more has fresh color in his
face and can 20 to school again. When.
ever the old trouble threatens to return
relief is Immediately secured by the use
of the celebrated ST. JACOBS OIL. From
sheer Joy over this result I cannot with
hold recommending ST.. JACOBS OIL tc

Compound Bar Soap

Costs but four cents per pound. No washing
machines are required; no pounding is neces-
sary, and usually but very little, it any, rub
bling is required. 1t is easily made, boy or
girl of fifteen years of age, by going according
to the directions, can make lOO IDs IN one
hour. The ingredients which compose 1t can
be obtained in any village.
When the Soap is made it can be readlly cut
into bars, and is ready for use. We nave de-
voted great deal of time and labor to invent
a soap that would take the dirt and grease
out Of clothes without damage to them or
without having to rub, pound, etc, to make
them clean. All that is required with this
soap is simply to soak them in suds of this
soap a short time, and then to boil from ten
to twenty minutes, then rinse, blue and hang
out and they will be perfectly clean and white,
not yellow, as some soap leaves the clothes.
| The article itself is the best recommend it
can have, and upon its own merit we are
willing to let it stand. We are confident that
DO person after testing its quality will be
excellent soap.
| In order that all may be benefited by this
soap, and none, however poor they may be,
need be prevented from using it and enjoying
its benefit, we have placed the price Of family

Col. Van Leuven, of the Spring Valley

and after lengthy affirmative discussion,
asks the newspapers of the district wha,
they have to s.y about it. 1t occurs to US
that Mr.. Dunnell will accept the verdict
of his constituents upon that question.
He has been In Congress nearly ten
years, in which time he has achieved a
rational reputation for ability. So great
is the distinction which he has won, that
upon the recent election of Gen. Garfield
to the U. s. Senate, Col. Van Leuven him.
self-commenting upon the event-said
substantially, 1.-THE promotion of Gen. Gar
field to the Senate leaves the leadership
of the House to Mr.. Dunnell, and large
majority of that body will recognize him
~ both capable and worthy to be the
Republican champion" In the light of
this and Of other similar expressions re.
Gently made by the Colonel, it surprises
US that he, 10 found so soon advocating
the retirement of Mr.. Dunnell He con-
cedes the possession by Mr.. Dunnell Of
al those valuable qualities which make
him the admiration of his friends, and
which render any man valuable as party
candidate. Acceptingithe Colonel's argu.
ment. instead of his wish, no change
should be made. Mr.. Dunnell has made
