A New EaiIwayiD View.

We learn this week that Union Pa
ciic railway company have now in
view a new route which is aimed TO
strike Red Cloud. Tie new line as
surveyed SO far, leaves the L. P. road
at Valparaiso, in Saunders county, and
passes through Fillmore, Seward, CLAY
Nuokclis and Webster counties 10 Red
Cloud. thence into Kansas To Rocks
county. and on 10 Wa keenv, connect
ing with the Kansas Pacific Ry. II
this is done We viii have "A much short
er u TO Omaha and Lincoln than
we have at present. One thing seems
to be conclusive in regard to this road,
and that IS the fact that it is a splendid
route, opening up a new country, and
a good business for the road, besides
making a big cutoff to important
points to the northeast and southwest
THIS fact We believe the [. 7. has fore
seen and have therefore decided to
survey the best line 10 make this point.
II certainly would be a good thing for
Webster county and a big boom for the
railway. We believe this road will be
built by the L. =. folks, as it Will he a
splendid chance to spur their enemy,
the b. & NJ. We live in hopes of the
new road being built.

ONE day this week we called at the
leading and fashionable millinery store
OF Mrs. j. A. Fowler, and found that
lady busily engaged in filling orders
for her trade throughout this section
of the country. We observed that the
rooms were very neatly and beautiful
ly decorated with handsome ana e!e-
gent flowers, plumes, of all sizes and
shapes, and numerous ornaments. Mrs
Fowler carries the largest stock and
does the most extensive business in
the Valley, which she has gained by
Careful and unceasing labor to please
her customers, and keeping abreast of
the demands CT her constantly increas-
ing trade. In the various departments
we noticed that they were filled to ov-
erfiowing, and especially so in the hat
department where We saw many hand
some designs, styles and varieties,
which were neatly and elegantly trim
med by Mrs. Fowler, who has Justly
gained a widespread reputation
for fine W 'rk III the Valley. The show
windows we're n complete mass of
elegant and costly flowers and trim
mings, and among the most elaborate
displays We have observed. Mrs. Fow-
Ter is a gO-ahead and enterprising mil
liner and believes in keeping up with
