Tommy Woods.

On an east-bound train that departed
from Butte City on Monday last. Mon
tana's best and favorite jockey, Tommy
Woods, took passage for the purpose Of
casting his destiny, for time at least,
among strangers, and where he can
give his talents ~ rider greater field
for action. He goes direct to Denver,
Colo, to ride for the stables Of Mr..
Clifton Bell, under an engagement Sc
cured for him by and through the influ-
ence and recommendation Of one Of our
prominent citizens. Tommy also car
ries with him high recommendations
from Hon. B. F. Potts, Governor Of the
Territory. Mr.. Bell is very fortunate in
securing the services Of 80 efficient and
Trustworthy jockey as Tommy. That
he may reach the top Of the ladder - .
rider and amass for himself . sufficient
amount Of capital to return to Montana,
where he has resided continuously since
1883, with . full stable Of noble thor
oughbreds under his own generaship,
is the fond wish Of his host Of Montana
friends and admirers.

II will BE- wise, We think, for the
farmers Of this State to take with a
good deal Of allowance the advice
which is being SO freely given them
To engage i'll the cultivation Of Early
Amber Cane for the production Of
sugar They should not devote
their time and land to the raising OF
cane for the novelty of 1t, without
first being sure that it will bring
them profitable return, and this
they cannot be sure Ct at present.
To demonstrate whether il will Or
not is what the farmers are now
really asked t. do Ind If they
realize this fact, they will, we think,
be very cautious about taking this
new departure which il proposed for
them II would be we'll for the
farmers If Southwestern Wisconsin

GEORGE CLEMENTSON.

The Republican candidate for cir
cult Judge Of the Fifth Judicial Cir
cult, is a resident of Lancaster, Grant
county. IL is a middle aged man
possessing good ability as lawyer
and viii doubtless secure as large 8
share IF tic republican vote in the
circuit, in his own county at least
as anyone whose name was men
toned for the place.
The voters of this circuit are not
partial To party candidates, regard
ing the Judicial office, as of too sa
cred 4 trust to depend upon the con-
tingency Of the numerical strength
Of political parties. They cannot
know of tile abilities and fitness Of
man for Judge until he has been
tried. and one who las been trieG
and has filled the ideal expectation
of the people, they are exceedingl,
slow u give their consent that polit
led parties should bind them To il
more their own judgment i'll the mat
ter, and accept one whose fitness To-
that particular situation is unknown
u them, however well they may APP
preeiatc him in the ordinary affairs
Iii which hc has been tried.
Il i political Judge must be
elected III April, Mr. Glementson is
lot inferior to any, and should he
be elected, Inc will be placed in a
situation that will require some
strategy to maintain a consistent oc-
eupancy Of Ii hc ignores politics,
after lie is elected, he ignores the
groundwork Of his election, and the
fabric III lis fame viii stand upon
nj unnatural base; and if he adj
heres t. politics while on the bench,
the natural judicial base will sup
port al unnatural fabric. The peo-
plc perhaps will desire Ill the ju-

tits and metaphysics, and continue

Railroad News.

We learn from good authority that
the Chicago & Northwestern Rail
way Co. will build this year a new
line from Fennimore to Blooming
ton, in the western part of Grant
county, a distance of nearly sixty
miles. The plan is to take up the
narrow-guage railroad from Ga
lena, making it broad guage, and
using the rails and rolling stock on
this new read. Already they have
laid few rods Of the new line west
of Fennimore, to secure rights, and
will proceed to build the new road as
soon as Spring opens.
The Darlington Republican says ::
" There seems to be considerable
foundation for the claim that we are
going to be put on trunk line here
very soon. \ gentleman informed
us recently, that in a conversation
with Alexander Mitchell that Off
cial in.ormei him that the first
work done in the spring would be
to build line from Warren to Ian
ark. Ill, thus making through c.
Nj. Il st. p. line from Mineral Point
to Chicago through Illinois. The
intention, when this line is compile
ted, is to put Oh a through night
passenger train on this line, and con-
tinue the day train via Milwaukee.
Arrangements are all completed to
extend the road north from Mineral
Point to Lone Rock, connecting there
with the Richland Center line.
which latter will be extended north
to Merrill, the northernmost point
in the lumber region The a1vant-
ages of those extensions to this sect
ion of the State will be visible at
"a glance. 1t will open a direct line
to fine pine region, besides a major
ity Of the lumber shipped to the
southwest will take this line as the
most direct route.
1t is rule with the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul R'y company
that any employee who allows the
company to be garnisheed on his ac-
count, will be discharged.
Two work trains are constantly
employed on the Narrow Gauge
hauling ties preparatory to laying
the iron for the proposed standard
gauge, which will begin as soon as
the frost gets out OF the ground. 1t
will take upwards of 1000 narrow
gauge loads of ties to complete the
job.-Gaelna Gazette.
The General Superintendent OF
the Iowa Division of t1e Illinois
Central R'y, orders all the employees
of that divis ion to be vaccinated.
The Galena Industrial Press says:
There seems to be a sharp competi-
ton between the C. NJ. &, st. P. rail
road, and the G. 4 n. w. for terri
tory in western Grant county.
Both seem disposed to extend west
ward, the first from Platteville, the
last from Lancaster or Fennimore.
The sharper the fight the better for
the country over which they are
contending.
