THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.
Il Southern TieW ofthe Great Trans
continental Line, as Voiced By the
st Louis RebubIicdu,

Il Southern Vietv oft Great Trans
continental Lime, as Voiced by the
st Louis Rebatblican.
Within fortnight another trans
continental railway will have COM
pleted it's band of steel across the
country and the Northern Pacific have
it's through trains running to Port
land and Puget sound. In many re-
spects, if not all, this is the most re-
markable of the railways to the Pa
cific coast. It is the only one of all
the lines between the Mississippi
valley and the pacific under a single
management and belonging to the cor
Doration, while more important still
is the further fact that it is the only
line free from the grasp of the mOnop-
oIizing clique which has heretofore
successfully managed to possess itself
of the Pacific coast end of all our trans
continental routes. In this assurance
of the long desired competing route,
the opening of the Northern Pacific
through to Oregon and tide water at
Puget sound is an event of material
interest to the mercantile community
throughout the country. 1t means
something more than the develop
ment of the mineral and agricultural
resources of the far Northwest, for it
means that the capitalists who own
the Central Pacific railways can no
longer exercise powers of dictatorship
on the true trade from and to the Pa
cific coast. We shall doubtless find
that it marks the coming of new era
in the transcOntinential railway sys-
tenn, AN era in which sharp competition
will succeed to unopposed monopoly.
We shall doubtless see several of the
lines, now. content with the business
gathered by conection with the two
California roads of the StanfoTd-Hun-
tington clique, extended over their
own routes through to the Pacific /;
but to the Northern Pacific belongs
the credit of being the first company
| to build an unbroken line from the
central Mississippi valley to the sum
set waters beyond the Rocky moun-
tains. There has been much to justify
harsh criticism in the policies of those
| who have had the management of the
Northern Pacific company in hand
! from time to time, but the highest
need of praise has been earned by
those who have finally completed an
enterprise which was only the other
day commonly regarded as chimerical
and utterly impracticable. From
Proctor Knott's zenith city of the un-
salted seas to the far Pacific the iron
bond will soon be complete and the
very fact that the work was so recent
ly regarded as impossible will enable
the country to make some adequate
measurement Of the formidable char
acter of the undertaking, which now
stands another accomplished mon
,ument Of American enterprise. We
oped most unexpected possibilities of
agriculture in the wide plains of Da-
kota, but it remains for the visitors
who will now throng over the new

A PetriffetI Head.

Workmen are excavating near Mill
Village, Penn, for Improvements on
the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio
railroad. A few days ago Martin Nc
Kay was passing by the work just as
ore of the laborers threw a shovelful
of earth and stones out of the eXcava-
ton, from depth of six feet. The
peculiar shape of one of the stones at
tracted his attention, and he picked it
up. Itproved to be an unmistakable
petrifaction of human head, that of
a child probably year old. The fore
head, cheeks and nose are full, well
shaped and natural. The eyes are
sunken, but perfect in shape. One
ear is intact, but part of the other is
broken off. The mouth, chin, and neck
are all perfect and natural. While
the face and top of the head are well
preserved, the back of the head is
nearly all gone. Mr.. Mckay believes
the curious relic to be prehistoric.

A Dakota "BOOm.''

The News says that a farmer from
Dakota with five teams passed through
Winnebago City last week headed for
the eastern part of this state. Three
years ago he went from Fillmore coun-
ty to Southern Dakota and engaged
in farming. The first year he raised
25 bushels of wheat to the acre; the
second year he raised 10 bushels, and
the third year he said his wheat was
only about 10 inches high at harvest
time and would not pay for the cutting.
He "pulled up" stakes and dumped"
the country, and expresses himself as
we'll pleased to once more be back in
Minnesota. He claims the soil out
there is exhausted after the first years

is now experimenting in breeding

mails, crossing with other cattle. The
half-breds make very fair stock and
are very striking in appearance. They
carry the hump of the buffalo, but are
devoid of the great shaggy mass of
hair about the head. In color they
follow the domestic COW. The flesh is
excellent, and does not tend to fat as
does that of ordinary cattle. Mr..

THE NEWS.
STRICKEN ROCHESTER,.

A few graphic notes by an eyewitness
ROCHESTER,, MINI, Aug. END. 1888
During the early part of the after
noon the wind blew steadily, gradual
ly increasing in strength until it reach
ed genuine gale. This continued fol
several hours, but about five suddenly
ceased and was succeeded by a per.
feet calm. Not a leaf seemed to stir
and the stiffness was so fearful and
deathlike that it was painfully op-
pressive. This only lasted short
time when the wind arose again, the
sky became that greenish gray, so well
known as the herald of cyclone, and
wind clouds seemed to fairly fly and
whirl in all directions. Soon they
formed into dark funnel shaped
mass pointing towards the earth and
in almost an instant the terrible roar
told all. For few moments it SEEM
ed as if every thing would be swept
! from the face of the earth, and words
can give no idea of the scene to-day.
Not only houses, and blocks, but
whole streets have been TOTALLY DEs-
TROYED.
The center of the storm seemed to
strike little northeast of the r. r.
depot, and what yesterdas was thick
ly inhabited part of the city is now
nothing but ruins. On an average not
one house is left standing in fifty.
Over a hundred are so completely des-
stroyed that one can scarcely tell they
ever were there, while between two
and three hundred are level with the
ground or so badly injured as to be un-
inhabitable. Over acres Of ground,
are strewn the household goods of the
sufferers, partially or entirely destroy
ed, 1t is pitable to see the people
trying to gather together what they
can, be it ever so little. Some seem
actually temporarily insane while
others appear perfectly stunned and
helpless. Over thousand persons
are homeless, many of whom have
LOST EVERYTHING. Twenty-siX are
already dead, more are expected to
die, and many badly injured.
Thousands of trees have been des-
stroyed many measuring from twenty
to twenty-five inches in diameter.
In some places the grass is completely |
gone, as though it had been burned
from the ground.
In the upper part of the city, the
is comparatively slight. The
r. r. bridge is a perfect wreck, lying
in the river, the Cook House and many
of the buildings near it are unroofed,
the dome gone from the Court House,
and the tower from the High School.
These buildings are otherwise injured.
The streets in this part of the city
were impossible until they were
cleared of fallen trees, but no large
building was destroyed.
A relief committee has been organ
lied and all possible is being done for
the sufferers.
Out in the country in the path of
the storm, the crops are not destroyed,
they are simply GONE.

after dressing her five children, took
them to an upper room in the house
i'm which. she had hung six nooses
from the roof. A rough wooden bench
had been placed beneath the nooses.
Tt is surmised that she forced the inno-
cent children to stand on this bench
while she placed the ropes around
their neck, then mounted herself,
passed the remaining moose around
her neck, and kicked over the bench.
