The Illinois Central and tho Minnesota
and Northwestern.
President Stickney of the Minnesota
and Northwestern railway, was in the
city Yesterday. This is the road which it
was said was backed up by the Illinois
Central to afford it an outlet from Mona
to St. Paul, and which report has been
denied by President Clarke of the Illinois
Central. President Stickney says the
Illinois Central is not interested financi-
ally in the construction of his road, but
the Minnesota s. Northwestern, when
completed, expects to work with the Hi
nois Central, as it will afford that road
an outlet from Mona to St. Paul, indie
pendent of the roads in the northwestern
traffic association. Mr. Stickney says
115 miles of the road will be graded and
bridged this year, and the whole line will
be completed and ironed next year. A
very favorable contract for all the steel
rail needed for the new line has just been
consummated. The prices paid for rails
is the lowest ever paid $780, so per ton is
said to be the price:) A contract for
locomotives has also been made with the
Bro oks Locomotive Works. Excellent
and ample terminals have been secured
at st. Paul. The enterprise, Mr.. Brooks
said, is backed by prominent eastern cap
italists.-Chscago Tribune.
The officials of the Illinois Central
railroad were in our city last Saturday
morning. They had been on a tour of
inspection over their lines and were on
their return trip, having been to Sioux
City and came over the c., M. & st. p.
to Mona, and thus down the branch.
They had visited the prominent towns
on their lines and stopped at Usage to

get acquainted with our business men
and lock over the prospects for future
business. Mr.. jeffrey informed us that
the contract had been let for the building
of a road from Mona to st. Paul, and
that the iron had been purchased for the
entire line, that the grading and bridging
would all be completed by July 1, 1885.
That the money for the construction of
the now road was furnished by London,
England, capitalists. He stated that the
Illinois Central had now traffic con-
tract with the new company that will
give his road a St. Paul connection, and
that as soon as the new road was COM
pleted, through passenger and express
trains will be run over it, and the Branch,
to Chicago and New Orleans This is
good news, and there is not the least
doubt but that within year Usage will
have a Northern, Eastern and Southern
outlet equal to any inland city in Iowa.
Our citizens were rejoiced to see the
officials, form their acquaintance, and
learn that better things we're in store for
them. After a too brief stay the dis
tinguished party bid adieu to their new
acquaintance and speed southwark to
visit other towns along the branch.
The following arc the names of men
composing the party; E. T. Jeffrey, Genl

THE officers of the Illinois Central
railroad company stopped at Usage for
about an hour one day last week and
visited a number of the principal bust
ness men of that place. A gentleman
who was present informs us that they
had no hesitancy in saying that the
branch would be extended at an early
day. They claimed that new rails had
been purchased for the entire line and
that the work of construction would
commence within few days. The Off
cials asked the people of Usage to have
patience and assured them that it was |
only question of time when their trains
would run from St. Paul to New Orleans. |
One interesting admission was that the |
Illinois Central would run it's trains over
the diagonal as soon as the lis miles of |
road between Mona and St. Paul was

CAMPAIGN STRAWS.

At present indications the tide is set
ting away from Cleveland and rising in
favor of Blaine and Logan. The defec-
tons among the Irish and workingmen,
who have hitherto supported the Demo
cratic party, are quite serious. The New
York Journal, neutral paper, gave last
week, merely as an item of news, a col
umn of printed expressions on the part
of prominent Irishmen in regard to their
determination to support Blaine. Among
the leading papers which have declared
for Blaine are the Tablet, Irish World,
Celtic american, Trash Nation, and Free
mans Journal. The signs of political
disintegration among the Irish voters are
ominous Of disaster to the Democratic
party.
Rumors affecting the personal integri-
ty of Grover Cleveland are staggering the
Independents just now. The true in
wardness of the opposition of II. w.
Beecher, DR.. Elliott and other prominent
Independents, to Blaine, lies in their free
trade notions.
A Blaine and Logan Club has been
formed at Gibson, Wis, thirds of
whose members never voted any other
than the Democratic ticket
Ex-senator Conkling will enter the
campaign this fall and stump New York,
Ohio and Indiana
Judge w. J. Bacon, q colleague of
Blaines, in the XLVth Congress, who
has voted for every Republican president
since Fremont, has declared against
Blaine.
The prohibitonists are sanguine of pol
ling large vote this fall. They are Or
ganizing for effective work. The party
has been steadily gaining in votes from
it's inception in 1872. Its local strength
has increased greatly during the past
two years, but it remains to be seen how
much of it can be brought out on Ma
tional contest. A careful perusal of al
the party organs leave ones mind in de-
lightful state of uncertainty as to the final
result. 1t is largely matter of side issues
and comparative bolts after all.

SMITH 5 LECTURE Frank w. Smith.
who advertises himself as "A Yank.
who fooled the Johnnies," delivered his
lecture entitled in and Out of Ander-
sonville," at Hyde's Hall, Tuesday eve-
ming, under the auspices of the Lancas-
ter Lecture Association. The lecture
might have been entertaining to lot of
land marines and old ladies whose
knowledge of the military service was
confined TO their experience in''Soldiers'
Aid Societies. but those who have seen
years of service in the army during the
war, saw in Mr. Smith only what the
the boys in 1864 used to call ..Jonnie-
come-lately,'' whose thrilling expert
ences, were confined to his marching
in new regiment of Ohio recruits from
Chattanooga to New Hope church in "a
his probable participation in three of
the preliminary skirmishes and minor
engagements on Sherman's march to
Atlanta; in the latter of which, at New
Hope church, the lecturer concealed
himself behind log, instead of keeping
with his command, when he was taken
charge of by Johnnie, and marched
to the rear, bringing up in Anderson
vile. where he of course had a rough
experience for few weeks. when he
was exchanged and mustered out of the
service. When or where he succeeded
IN 'fooling the Johnnies,'' he failed to
state. His thrilling description of bat
tie scenes were such as only new re-
cruit who had participated in two or
three skirmishes could give. He man
aged to work in some harmless cant.
his GESTURES were awkward in the ex-
IRENE, and none of his thoughts or des-
criptions were clothed in anything that
might be mistaken for elegant lam
guage.
