Austin, MankatO St. Cloud Election.
The directors of the Austin, Mankato
s. St. Cloud railway met Tuesday morn
ing, June 12, in the Office of Gen. Bishop,
St. Paul, and elected the following Off
GERS:
President-J. w. Bishop.
Vice. President-Conrad Gotham.
Treasurer-H. p Upham.
Secretary-S. B. Mcconnell.
The directors are J. W. Bishop, Conrad
Gotzian, H, P. Upham, W. R. Morrison,
J. johnson, w. A. Stevens and H. B.
Walker.
Work is being pushed on the locating
survey of this road, the corps of survey
ors which started out week ago Tuesday
having run the line from Mankato to Sum-
ter at which point the projected road
crosses the Hastings & Dakota division of
the Milwaukee. 1t is understood that
Gen. Bishop will go east shortly to nege-
tate the bonds of the road and there is
little doubt that the money so realized,
with the donations made by the towns
along the line of the road, will be sufti-
Gent to construct the road. The directors
hope to begin grading this year.
The surveying corps, running line
northward to St. Cloud, were at work in
Nicollet county most of last week. After
trying to reach the high land through a
ravine coming out on Mr.. Geo. w.
Fletchers farm, they finally abandoned
that route and ran direct to Hebron,
from whence they will work their way
northward via Swan Creek.
Nothing of Importance has developed
from the meeting of the directors at St.
Paul. The eastern gentlemen were not
personally present, we understand, but
were represented by proxy. The resi-
dent officials are not very communicative,
as is evidenced by the i'll success of St.
Paul reporters to gain information. We
are assured that the money is in bank at
St. Paul to make the survey, and that it
will be made; should the funds be furnish
ed to build the road, we are officially as
sured that that will be done; but there
seems to be very decided Discrimination
to indicate in any manner policy in
advance of actual developments, and
hence we are reduced TO the resort OF
expedient of interesting the public on
this subject, that of guessing" In the
exercise of this inalienable right, aided by
the best judgment of those who have
tried the proftless undertaking of boring
for information, we are inclined TO think
that the road will be built, but by whom
or in what interest is as much mystery
as ever.-M0nkatO ReUseao, June ~.

Baptist Church Anniversary Poem.


AS we look adown the vista
OF 4 quarter century gone,
And recall the hours of darkness
That fOretOld the coming dawn,
We can see our Fathers wisdom,
And his mercy all the way,
And to him we offer praises,
On this anniversary day.
Humble was the place of worship,
And the numbers weak and small,
Ofthe little band of Christians,
Gathered in that upper hall,
In the early days of Austin,
When the years were full of toll,
And the people and the pastor
Were but tillers Of the soil.
And to-day as we look backward,
At the signals by the way,
We are sure divinest blessing
Has been given day by day.
Through the struggles hard and bitter
He has brought us into light,
And from many small beginnings
Shown the power OF His might.
Death has claimed the earnest worker
Who was first to labor here;
But the seed he scattered widely,
In the harvest shall appear.
And his name in tender memory
Win be sacred to each heart,
Till we touch glad hands forever
Where no friends shall ever part.
Other servants God has sent us,
And the field has wider grown.
Till we look abroad in wonder,
At the changes time has shown.
Fair and proud our little city,
With its schools and churches stands,
And our hearts are filled with gladness,
At the labor of our hands.
There are some among our number
Who have borne the heat Of day;
But their steps are growing feeble,
And their locks are turning gray,
And we know heavens glorious dawning
Soon will break upon their sight,
And the crosses hard and heavy
Be exchanged for crowns of light.
We can find within the vineyard,
Work enough for all to do,
And on this memorial Sunday
Let us each begin anew;
Find place where we may labor,
Fill it then with ardent zeal,
And the Master, at his coming,
Will to us the fruits reveal.
One we have to go before us,
And our lot is blest indeed,
For he came in darkest hour,
When we were in sOrest need;
Let US hold his hands up higher,
Put our shoulder to the wheel,
And the burdens he may carry
Let us also try to feel.
God has given US noble pastors,
Churches few have been so blest,
Two nave lalO ASIDE their 8rmOr,
And have entered into rest.
One is by the far Pacific,
But We hold his memory dear:
And another, strong and earnest,
We are glad to number here.
Thus as we look DER the record
Of these five and twenty years,
Comes feeling of rejoicing,
Mingled, too, with saddest tears,
But to God we give the glory.
And our prayer to him shall be
That the church of his own planting,
May be kept from evil free.
