RAILROAD NEWS.
MARSHALL AFTER IT.


The Marshall Messenger says Major
Blake, of that place, has returned from
St. Paul where he had been to see the
officers of the Minneapolis Il st. Louis
road about branch to connect them
with that road at Sand Lake or some
other point. President Hatch favored
it and said if the people of Marshall
would make a proposition lie would
personally take it to Chicago and urge
the immediate building of the road.
The Messenger thinks Marshall may be
the junction of the road from Worth
ington north. 1t says:
About IS miles of nearly level coun-
try would connect us with that line at
Sand Lake and give us an outlet to
everywhere including northern Lake
Michigan, to which point Il branch Of
this road IS now being built. That the
company intend building Il southwest
branch at some future time through
this section is an undoubted statement.
n mortgage on file in Redwood county
provides for such branch. The get
ting of this branch might also make
Marshall Il junction Of this and II future
north and south line from Worthing-
ton. Localities southwest of us are
also interested in this branch. It could
easily be built to Marshal! this summer.

How Watch Cases are Made.

In 1875, thirteen men comprised the
entire working force used in the manu-
facture of the James Boss Gold Watch Case.
Now over foe hundred are employed, and the
number is constantly increasing. The rea-
son of this increase is this: In the James
Boss Gold Watch Case all the metal in sight
and subject to wear is solid gold, while the re-
mainder, which only lends strength to the
case, is of stronger metal than gold,
giving gold where gold is needed, and
strong, elastic metal where strength and
elasticity are needed, a combination pro-
ducing a watch case better than solid gold
and at oNE-HALF the cost. ..,-
Over 100000 of these cases < d

4 CRITICAL TEST.

The severe chemical tests to which
the various baking powders have from
time to time been placed, have demon
strated clearly to the public the rela'
tive merits of the different brands
from an analytical point of view Fol
instance, DR.. Love, the eminent Gov
ernment Chemist, III his analyses, made
the comparative strength as follows:
cubic inches
Gas ecOtred
"Royal' (crcam OF tartar powdcr). ....... l27.04
"Gharm" G1. pa:o, SaSm powder). 1dS 11S9 g
&C. +. Andrews s Co's' iaium powder) 1911
The Royal Baking Powder was found
besides being of absolute purity, to
evolve the highest amount of leavening
gas of any of the powders tested, and
hence it was placed at the head of the
list and recommended for Government
use.
But the crucial test of the kitchen is
after all, the most satisfactory to the
housekeeper. A baking powder that
never fails to make light, sweet, whole
some and palatable bread, biscuit, cake
etc, upon all occasions, is the one thai
will be placed at the head of the list b,
the practical housewife, and received
into her kitchen for continuous use
This test the Royal Baking Powder ha:
stood for over twenty years without :
single failure. and hence its reputation
as the best baking powder made lla'
spread from house to house, until it.
use has become as universal as it
merits are unrivaled.

ORIGIN OF "DECORAyION DAY"
Mrs. Sarah Nicholas Evans, who died
recently in Des Moines, Iowa, WAS one
of the four ladies will, whom the obser-
vance of Decoration Day originated.
On the 18th of April, 1862 just one year
after the fall of Fort Sumter. Mrs Eva.
ms, with the wife and two daughters of
Chaplain May, of the Secol Regiment,
Michigan Volunteers, decorated the
graves of Il considerable number OF sold .
iers on Arlington Heights. In May of
the next year the same ladies performed
the service again 1T the same place.
In May of the year following they rend-
cred the same sadly pleasant attention
to the graves of soldiers buried at
Fredericksburg. In 1874 Congress took
notice of a ceremonial so significant of
the Nations obligation to the dead, aud
made the 30th day of May Il legal holi-
day. 1t was becoming, after such a
record, that Mrs. Evans should have i
formal recognition by the Grand Army.
This was given her hy Croker Post,
No. II, Des Moines, February, 1873, the
same recognition being extended to
Miss Ella May, now the only survivor

A PATHETIC SCENE.
A Long Estranged Couple Reconciled
Over the Corpse of Their Son.

A Long Estranged Couple Reconciled
Over the Corpse of Their Son.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, December "A
pathetic story Of the reconciliation OF
a man and wife, after an estrange-
ment OF many years, was made public
here to-day. The reunion of the couple
occurred over the body of their son, TO
whose funeral the father had been
summoned without his wife's knowl-
edge. Andrew Entrekin of this city was
called to Albany through telegram
informing him of the death of his SON.
who had been Killed by a railway train,
and fastened to that city. Although
aware that his wife, from whom he had
long been separated, was living in Al
bany, he had made no inquiry about her.
They resided in New York when the
separation, growing ont of jealousy on
his part and supposed inndclity on the
part of his wife, took place, the mother
taking the son. and the father the daugh-
ter This was about twenty years ago,
and during that period they have never
met, although Mrs, Entrekin
RECEIVED REGULAR REMTTTANCEs
from her husband, but never accom-
panied by line. After gazing at the
palld face of the corpse, the father kissed
the lips and bending down gave way to
the grief he could not repress. Mrs.
Entrekin stood supported by her friends,
crying Historically, and after kissing the
face of the dead boy sobbed aloud. As
she raised her head, her eyes met those of
her husband. The mourners withdrew,
and the undertaken closed the door quiet
ly. Instantly the wife rushed into her
husbands arms, he met her advances in
the same spirit, aud a reconciliation fol
lowed. Mrs. Entrekln accompanied hel
husband to this city after the funeral,
last evening.

Interrupted Memory.

Sick persons have been known tolose
all remembrance of what has happened
to them during their sickness, and
tranger STILL of the period immcdi-
ately preceding their sickness, while
easily recalling what went before and
followed after, says the London Globe.
The brain plays odd tricks with US
at times, especially when it has been
subjected to sudden shock, and scien-
tiGc men who think that its various
convolutions are the seats of various
faculties Of the mind derive some con-
firmation of their theory from the fact
that the power of memory may fail
without any failure of general intelli-
gence, and may fail in part without
being altogether impaired. A notable
instance OF this aforementioned peculi-
arty occurred about dozen years ago.
A lad in the country was accused of
throwing another into pond, and he
was put on his trial before a bench Of
magistrates. His elder brother, who
bore a higher character in the village
both for conduct and mental shrewd-
ness, had seen the previous struggle
between the lads, and he was called
upon to give evidence. He declared
his belief that the fight was perfectly
fair throughout and that the immersion
in the pond was an accident Qucs-
toned as to what took place afterward,
he could not speak to "A single circum-
stance. 'Did the prisoner attempt to
rescue the dcceasedp' the Chairman
asked him. lie could not say. "The
bench understands that you lcapcd in
to the water and recovered the body"
"Thcy tell me so, he said, "but have
no recollection of it," "The Consta-
Bile has told us that you Owed twice,
brought out the body, and carried it to
the parents house" 81 have not the
slightest remembrance | only know
that was at home in bed at 8 o'clock"
six hours later---'and the last thing !
could remember was seeing poor Smith
fall over the edge" There could be
no doubt that the witness was speaking
the truth; and he could have had no
object in doing otherwise The shock
which no had received on seeing the ia
tai result of his brothers quarrel had
paralyzcd his brain; the memory was
interrupted by those few hours, though
in all other respects he had acted like
man in the full possession OF his senses
