A LA Crosse special to the Minnesota
Tribune says: "a party of surveyors
have been at work for some days lay
ing out d line for new railroad from
East Dubuque along the east side of
the Mississippi river northward, and
the ultimate destination is evidently
the cities of Minneapolis and st. Paul.
1t is evident that a great money power
is behind this movement, and there is
reason to believe that it is the Illinois
Central Railroad Company. The os-
tensible name of the new road now
being surveyed is the Winona, Alma
& Northern railroad. Alma is on the
east side of the Mississippi, opposite
WinOna, and the supposition is that
the road will cross the river at that
point, and then make straight shoot
to its northern destination"

CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS,

In offering to the public DR.. C. McLanes Cele-
brdted EiceT Pulls remedy for Ltrer and Bilious
Complaints, we presume no apology Will be needed.
The great prevalence OF Liver Complaint and BIZ.
ious Diseases Of all kinds throughout the United
States and particularly In the West and South,
where, in the majority Of cases the patient s not
within the reach of regular physician, requires
that some remedy should be provided that would
not in the least impair the constitution, and yet be
safe and effectual That such is the character OF
DR.. C. HcLdne's Liver Tils, there can be no doubt
The great success which has invariably attended
their use will, think, be sufficient to convince
the most incredulous. 1t has been our sincere wish
that these pills should be fairly tested, and stand
fall ny the effects produced. Thst they hsve been
tested and that the result has been in every re-
spect favorable, we call tens Of thousands 20 wit
ness who have experienced their beneficial effelts.
DR.. Q. MoLANE's LIVER PILLS
are not held forth or recommended Qke most Of the
popular medicines OF the day.. as universal ,ure-
alls, but simply as specific for LiUer Complaints,
and those symptoms connected with dersnged
state Of that organ.
