THE SPIRIT LAKE & WESTERN.

THE SPIRIT LAKE WESTERN.
The rumors that the Burlington
road was backing the Spirit Lake &
Western and would turn from the
Worthington route and pass through
Sibley, is pretty generally denied from
all quarters. The Sioux City Journal
says:
Maj. G, J. c. Ball. attorney and
agent for Close Bros. & Co., was inter
viewed bv reporter yesterday about
the Spirit Lake & Western road, Of
which. as agent aforesaid, he is in otli-
Ger. He said the Spirit Lake & West
-rn was not backed by the Burlington.
Cedar Rapids & Northern or any other
company. but was ''as independent as
a hog on ice," rs the major expressed
it.
OF the progress of the survey, the
Sibley Gazette says:
The latest report which has been re-
ceived 1T the office If the Spirit Lake &
Western railroad company, as to the
progress of the surveyors. was dated
last Sunday. It stated that about ten
days more time would bring them to
the Big Sioux River. As to the direc-
ton Of the route from Rock Rapids to
Sioux Falls nothing has been heard.
The Lyon County Reporter of the
22d says Of a meeting held 1T Rock
R'pids:
Last Thursday evening some Of our
influential men met Mr.. j. Ii. Close at
the Lyon County Bank, for the pur-
pose of talking railroad interests, and
find out what assurances each party
could give the other-assurance for the
road on one side. and assurance of aid
from the other. Mr.. Close stated that
from the signs in the railroad sky, it
was evident that Lyon and Osceola
could expect nothing from foreign
companies, and orr only hope is to do
what we can locally. LAS it is now"
Mr.. Close said, ''our company is entire
ly independent OF all others, they Of
fering no inducements and we asking
none, leaving the matter entirely a
home enterprise, and of course it's sue
cess or failure depends uron home aid
and energy"
The gentlemen present all coincided
with Mr.. Closes view of the question
and seemed to tl,i nix that now, or new
er, was the opportunity for Lyon coun-
tv to rise and work in her might tow
ards securing IN east and west rail
road, with direct communications
IT, eastern markets. 1t seemed certain
that the Burlington was heading tow
ard the north. and in fact. had the
right If way between Spirit Lake and
WOrthington. and from the tnanouvers
of the other companies it was evident
that northwest and northeast was
their planned routes.
These are sensible conclusions and
they are exactly what the ADVANCE
has reiterated about every week for
the last six months. Yhe roads now
making for Spirit Lake are bearing
northwest through Worthington, for
one point, and are not coming to Spit
it Lake to turn due vest or south of
west and run. into Southern Dakota.
They are making for the country north
west Of St. Paul, as an ultimate goal,
and several of them are more likely to
pass through Worthington than any
other town Oh the line of the Omaha
real.

RAILROAD NEWS.
THE BURLINGTON.

THE BURLINGTON.
4 recent number Of the Palo Alto
Reporter says:
Tie Burlington road is storing i'm
mense quantities Of material ut this
place for the extension of that line, and
they propose To build from here to
Wortliimgton. MIMI, this year. When
completed this will be one OF the most
important lines Of road in the west.
OF course they are coming to Worth
ington. Nothing but railroad lorna
do or earthquake can now turn them
aside. Intimately connected with this
matter is the reported sale of the Oma-
b.. line to the Rock Island, for it the
sale is made, the Burlington must
come to Worthington to connect with
the Werthington & Sioux Falls road
for route into Dakota. This would
not give us the much needed COMPETE
ton, but it would give us Il coal road
and another eastern outlet. AS to the
sale Of the Omaha road, the Shley Ga
zette says:
Upon Maj. BAll's recent trip to st.
Paul lie was told by President Z. +.
Drake that the consolidation of the
Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis & Oma-
la railroad and the Chicago. Rock Is
land II Pacific is only matter of time.
Tie Sioux City Journal also says:
An Omaha Bee reporter was inform
ed by man prominently connected
w.
lis s. Omaha road, who said he got his
Information from one of the officials of
the road, that the terms OF the sale OF
that line and branches to the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific road had been
agreed upon, and that the sale would
be consun m ted at Il very early day.
This agrees with all the rutnors we
hear. Parties who are pretty well post
ed in railroad matters assure us that
it is understood in railroad rcles that
the Rock Island has virtually secured
the Omaha.

A True Blessing.-It would indeed
be a blessing to poor. weak, nervous,
debilitated, suffering humanity, if

vile purgative pills and cathartjc CON-
pounds advertised for the cure Of liver
complaint. Although they afford tenn
porary relief, at the same time they

the same. Sufferers from dyspepsia

a THIRSTY DAY.
PeriIss Of Candidates on the Com =
stock


stock.
Carson candidates who visited
the Comstock yesterday relate
most horrifyins tales of the
hardships they underwent dur
ing the voting hours. Unless a
man opened a barrel of whisky
1T each end he was pelted with
quartz rocks and hooted out Of
the city. Many fed fo- Reno
by way of the Geiger grade and
some sought Carson as a city of
refuge, where candidates were
treated like gentlemen and
where the we'll fed and temper
ate inhabitants mind their own
business. There must be some
color to these stories, as the
Chronicle has the following:
Last evening the streets of
Virginia presented lively APP
pearance. G street was crowded
with thirsty and speculative
patriots looking for candidates.
For some reason or other the
otiice-hunting victims were not
numerous, but when one did
heave in sight, the mob im-
mediately pounced upon him,
and if he got away with his
overcoc and whole bones, he
was fortunate. The patriots
and statesmen would seize q
candidate and tell him of their
mighty influence in "a quiet
way" and wind up by tapping
him for a piece Of coin. If a
candidate got corraled by a
saloon keeper, he was not al
lowed to depart until he was
broke. When a candidate went |
into saloon, an army of beats |
would rally to the bar, and |
nothing but a Calling gun could
have driven them away. 1t was
a tough time for those who were
willing to serve their country,
and in case of their defeat to-
day, several of them will prob
ably take the Geiger Grade for
parts unknown. Where all
all the political beats come from
is mystery, but they show up
on all occasions, and will geneZ
ously take a drink with can
didates, irrespective of party,
thus showing an Independent
and patriotic spirit that is COM
What these patriots
will do for drink after the
election is a mystery, but they
have reaped a liquid harvest the
last few week which may carry
them through until another
election, as the heat impaired to
their coppers ought to last for
years.

DUNES DENIAL.

Inc report tNat refer Duilllt
was cutting Adams with the
Irish vote in Storey on account
o. the combination, called foi
the following from Mr.. Dunno
and Adams, TO James Combs:
It is a damned lie. It must
be d job to hurt me.
p. J. DUNE
There is 10 truth in the re
port that Dame is working
against me.
.JEWETT w. ADAMS.
The boys Winked knowingly
and said that the dispatches
must be taken cum GyaHo sails.
SCRATCHING.
The scratching was terrific all
along the line, Democrats, Re
publicans and Fusionists al! ex-
ercised the North American
privilege OF voting for whom
they pleased, and some people
offered to bet that rot 100
straight tickets would go into
the box. 1t would be impossi-
bic to tell where the scratching
principally centered for every
candidate seemed to come in for
a share of it.
PROHIBITION.
The saloons were closed but
there was a strong scent Of
whisky in the air which seemed
to come from unexpected places,
and the strings of men coming
out of the little back card rooms
with a satisfied look told a tale
OF secret bibulous Indulgence
which could not be mistaken.
THE COUNT.
An eager crowd packed the
Curry engine house after 6
O'Clock to watch the count. The
top of the box contained the
Democratic vote which had
been gathered up with the sack
during the last half hour and
the Adams men were jubilant.
When 500 votes were counted |
Adams had G5 majority, but |
when the early morning vote
was counted, the solid RepU Bill
can votes being at the bottom
of the box, Strother came up
and beat Adams on the home |
stretch by tive votes. The news
from Empire was that Adams
was - votes ahead. This gave
hin ID majority in the county.
THE LATEST.
The probabilities are that the
Republican county ticket is cleo
ted by over 80 majority. In
counting the Inscription at the
the heads of the two tickets it
stood:
Republican NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 416
Anti Monopoly ................ $50
This gives the general result
but as the scratching on both
ic 1ets is very grea. it will take
take 49 hours to ascertain the
result.

YESTERDAYS ELECTION.
The Democrats Claim to Have
Elected Adams.
The Regular Republican Ticket
Carries Crmsby.

Inc election began quietly
yesterday morning, each party
putting its workers in the fielt
at an early hour. Up to noon
: 400 votes had been polled al
the Curry engine house, and in
spite of the amount Of feeling
between the opposing parties,
everybody seemed to be good
natured and willing to accept
the result without trouble.
RUMORS.
The only thing which gave
Zest to the occasion were the
rumors which came from all
parts OF the State relative to the
Adams, Cassidy and Stone COM
bination. On the morning of
the election the Irish of Storey
county were reported to be up in
arms against the three parties
named, and by IL O'Clock it was
rumOred that Pete Dunn, cam
didate for Controller, had thrown
his entire strength against
Adams. Dispatches came from
both these parties denying the
charges, and anxious Demo-
Gratis were in the telegraph office
| tying 70 hear from Eureka and
ElkO, where a similar trading
bargain was supposed to have
been effected.
Then the word came from
Storey that Strother had gone
into the fight with $4,000 and
was backed by John Mackay and
Senator Jones, that Jones had
put in $4,000, and that Sadler
of Eureka had sent $4,000 to
the Central Committee on the
eve of election. Then came the
news that Tutiy was running
ahead of his ticket with bets
even up that he would carry
the State by 1900.
Ga the Congressional fight the
reports were mixed up, and to
the effect that Eureka would go
500 against Cassidy, that he
would beat POwning in Storey
and stand him off in Washoe.
One hour brought the word that
Strother was sweeping Storey,
and the next click OF the wire
brought equally cheering intel
ligence for the Adams faction.
The news which reached |
Adams in the morning made /
him uneasy and he went to Nir- |
ginia in hot haste.
sADLER'S SACK.
George Tutiy was alarmed |
about noon on seeing unmis-
taxable evidences Of the Sadler !
sack, and braced himself up with
with some Virginia dispatches
announcing that the boys were
betting two to one on him. All
along Main street the coin of
the Eureka man was making
its influence felt. Groups of
men Of the roustabout genus
were falling before it like leaves
in the Autumn wind, and it was
also a conceded fact that Adams
came in for a share Of the effect.
The figures at which the sack
was estimated ranged all the
way way from $1,000 to $4,000.
DISPATCHES.
The following dispatches were
received at the APPEAL Office
during the day:

A REMARKABLE HEIFER.

4 correspondent OF the Coazf,1. GcR-
Hcmaa tells of Jersey heifer belonging
10 him, which for precocity and prolific
ness goes ahead .pf anything We have
overheard Of. This heifer was dropped,
as alleged, March sS,h, 1879. Tn
April 18th, 1880, At one year and sixteen
days, she dropped her own first calf (;
on March 18th, 1851. a, the age Of one
year and eleven months and twelve
days, she dropped her second calf. and
on January s7ih, 1852, 4, the age OF two
years, nine months and iwenty-nine
days, she dropped her third calf. She
is said to be strong and healthy and
milking II quarts day January goth,
1882. Her live weight is $50 pounds
II this be true this COW must be a phe.
nomenon. The younges, Jersey heifer
We ever saw to have calf was IS months
old, and she was quite lilipuiian in size
compared with ordinary cows, even OF
her own breed. The Jerseys are very
precocious and will breed quite young
If not restrained, bur such early fccun-
dity is scarcely desirable, as such small
COWS are not very productive, and such
early breeding stunts the size TO an OBJ
jectionable degree. II would probably
be as well in the end not TO let heifers
Of any breed come in until they are two
years old.
