THE SPIRIT LAkE& WESTERN

On Thursday last the L. c. II. & n.
surveying corps, in charge Of Locating
Engineer A. L. Lambuurn, returned t"

some work on the line OF the Spirit
Lake y Western. Chief Engineer Rem
lngtoh, OF the latter road. wishing to
have the line located and fearing Il
Change OF season, secured their SER
vices to locate the line and make the
contemplated changes between Spirit
Lake and SibI-y. This Mr.. Lambourn
and his corps Succeeded in doing,
reaching Sib'ry en Friday night, Nov.
23d, and completed their connections
with the line west "f S!bley during the
early part Of last week. They then
came to We' Ellington to continue work

GOOD NEWS ABOUT TIE BISMARCK
ROAD.

ROAD.
a special despatch from Chicago to
the Pioneer Press of Friday last says:
There are prospects Of lively times
among the northwe stern railway lines
before long. II. IL. Porter, whose sue.
cess in unloading the Omaha road on
the Chicago & Northwestern will be
recalled, is DOW busily 1T work on all

syndicate has already secured the right

possible for b-ginning the construct Jon
of the line. Brsid+s this, it is ;'uthtn-
tically stated here that the Rock Island
road is preparing to extend It's line

Northwest by the Rock Island will
complicate the railroad situat ion in that
section Il little. and that present pool

knocked higher than Il kite.
This all relates t" the extension Of
the b. G. r. & N. from Warrington to
Bismarck. 1t is 10 new thing, for the
ADVANCE has been publishing every
scrap Of information "btainablp for
months about this extension. It is,
however, good news t" learn that the
project is heavily backed. is to be- push.
ed through beyond doubt. aud that the
right of way is secured between Bis
marck and Ordway.
The correspondent; is off, however,
when he says that the road is to be ex-
tended ''due west between the western
extensions of the Northwestern and
st. Paul roads," Ordway is north Of
the central part of Brown county and il
line run northwest from WOrtlingtnn
to Bismarck would pass through Ord
way. Instead Of running between the
Northwestern and the Milwaukee aud
st. Paul roads. it will cross them dag.
onally. This is the great advantage Of
the B. q. r. Il n. branch of the Rock
Island system. It cnts diagonaily
across the country. crossing all the east
and west lines, and getting the short
cut to both Chicago and st. Louis.
We may rs we'll sum up once more,
for we cannot d. so too often:
Next year. or the year following at
the latest, Werthington will have
l. A short northwest line to Bis
marck and the Northern Pacific coun-
try.
2. A short line to Fargo via Ortou-
willie.
3. Another line, and 4 competing
one, to Minneapolis and st. Paul, over
the Minneapolis & St. Louis, via Red
wood Falls.
4. These with our present St. Paul
s. Omaha. our WorthinRton & Sioux
Falls and our B. g. r. & N. short line
to Chicago, will make Worthington an
important interior railroad centre SIM
liar to Cedar Rapids.
These reads secured wa are pretty
sure to get the Spencer branch of the
milwaukee and the extension Of the
wabash. ''Told you so."

How Watch Cases are M1de.

1t is fact not generally known that the
James Boss Gold Watch Cases really con-
tain more pure gold than many "solid"
gold cases The demand for these watch
cases has led to the manufacture of very
poor grade Of solid gold watch cases
low in quality, and deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from 4s to 10 kar;.ts
and or karat case is often sold for l:
or IA karats. 1t is NOT economy to buy
watch case SO poor in quality that it will
soon lose its color, or one SO soft that it will
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, this
letting in dust and damaging the works, or
one so thin that a slight blow will break
the crystal, and perhaps the movement.
1t is economy to buy James Boss Gold
Watch Case, in which NONE of these things
ever occur. This watch case is not an e1peri-
naent-it has been made nearly thirty 1cars

The NationaI Game in Augusta.

The Augusta Chronicle of yesterday, in
reviewing the history Of the national sport
in that city, says: "Base ball has become
more popular in Augusta this season than
it has ever been before. Several fine clubs
have been organized, land all are playing for
the championship of Augusta. So far, the
Browns are in the lead, and they are very
likely to stay there. None of the other
clubs. however, will hardly even claim
superiority over the Browns, which has,
probably, the best material of any
club in the State. There is one
thing, however, in which the Browns
are very backward, and that is in practic-
ing. Except in case of a match game all
the members are never at the grounds for
practice at given time. This is not as
it should be, and the Browns can never
expect to achieve any great victory UNI
less they practice regularly. We will
venture to say it is not so with the DiXies,
of Savannah. 1t is said that at the given
times for practice with this club, which
are several days of the week, every men,
Der appears punctually, and the club
goes through with a practice which is
nearly as beneficial as a regular match
game. If the Browns will only keep the
old adage of practice makes perfect
before them. and follow its teachings, it
will, probably, in time, become not only
the champion club of Georgia, but, proba-
blV. of much larger area"

National Prize Drill.

Editor Morning NeaCs:; Where are your
subscription soliciting committeesg' sew
eraI of our prominent business men have
said to me. 'sN e noticed in a late issue
of the News list of the names OF the
committees and their respective districts.
From that list we are well aware which
committee should wait on us, but up to
the present time none of them have APP
preached us on the subject. While the
matter was being agitated, Of course we
expected to be called upon, and conse-
quentlY consulted with our partners as
to the amount of stock we should SUD-
scribe. This matter having been arranged,
we have ever since held ourselves IN
readiness to respond when the opportunity
was presented" All of the committee are
active business men, and do not nave
much leisure time: but it seems to me
that if each committee would thoroughly
organize, and then put in just one
hour each day. much could thus be
accomplished. If such a course
were adopted, | would be willing
to guarantee the $12, 900 yet remaining TO
be subscribed. The committees have
every reason to be encouraged, for IN the
many enterprises originating In SaVan-
nah none have had more friends or
warmer hold on the people than TINS ma
tional prize drill. Then may your COM
mittees be patriotic enough to devote
to this enterprise sufficient OF tnelr
time to enable them to raise the amount
still deficient at once. Three hundred OF
it can be secured by calling on one who
has been OVERLOOKED.

THE NATIONAL GAME.
The Dixies Down the OglethOrpes to
the Tune of Sixteen to Nine.

The Dixies Down the OglethOrpes to
the Tune of Sixteen to Nine.
A fair crowd assembled at the Base Ball
Park yesterday afternoon to witness the
ninth game for the championship of the
State Association between the DiXies and
Oglethorpes. The game was called at
O'Clock with the DiXies at the bat. The
OglethOrpes led off with four scores and
kept the lead up to the lucky seventh in
ming, when the DiXies struck out and
changed the entire business. In this in
ming Brown, of the 0glethOTpes, was dis
abled, and Barrett, change pitcher, was
substituted in his place.
The game throughout was fairly played.
In the seventh inning Brigham made an
excellent catch from first base, and in the
ninth inning Dodd made a fine running
fly catch in the left field, turning COM
plete somersault and coming up with
the ball in his hand.
The last half of the ninth inning was
not played, the OglethOrpes refusing
to take the field, as they claimed under
the rules of the National Association,
hence all bets on the DiXies doubling the
score were declared off.
Up to the close of the sixth inning the
friends of the blues backed them heavily.
At the beginning of the seventh, however,
things took different turn, and the DiXies
wound-up with big run. The following
is the score:
