DOS CRtMENES.

rior.
En- ell barrio citado, de la De,
maiagua, junto d la puerta de una
casa. Sc hallaron Iestos de una
criatura al parecer recien nacida.
Hiciironse pesquisas en- averi-
guaci6n del crimen que implicaba
tan triste hallazgo, y Ell haberse
descubierto manchas de sangre en-
las ropas de una joven fue causa
de que todo quedase claro como
La Iuz del dia en- aquel misterioso
asun.o. Detenida la ;oven, hubo
de decir que al regresar q su casa,
hecha una diligencia para que hu,
biera salido, di6 luz una criatura,
Ia cual, por tenor d sus padres,
habia dejado abandonada en- el
paste.
Resultado: que ell desnaturali.
zado proceder de la detenida die
lugar 4 que su hijo fuese devora-
do per unos perros.
Triste es que una muJer sc
pierda, pero tambien es horrible
que llegue 4 desoir la VOC dc
Ia naturaleza hasta convertirse en-
una Hera. lFiera no, mas que
fiera, porque nj las mas salvaje'
abandonan d sus hyos!
Segun Sc nos dice, la Guardis
Civil trabaj6 mucho, y con exito
como Sc ha visto, en- La averigua'
ci6n de ese infanticidio.
Con respecto al drama de Sa
bana- Grande, va saben nuestro'
lectores que una mujer quiso en-
venenar q su marido. Esta mu

dos de aquellos infelices. Otro'
tres, hermanos de las yictimas
quedaban en- grave peligro d.

THE FARGO ROAD.

Since the stir about the Lake Park
branch of the B. g. II. s. N. road, a
good many of our people are fearing
for the Fargo road also and are ready
to throw up their hands and exclaim,
''all is lost!" Well, we have rot seen
a scrap of fact, or single straw il,
the wind, leading to shadow of sus-
piciop that the Fargo road was in dan
ger. Would the Burlington come to
Worthington and make this the ter
minus? The road has been here now
for over year, resting and preparing
to push on to both Fargo and Dis
marck. Everything we hear from the
company and every item in the news.

will push on toward Ortonville when

THE LA.TD ASSOCIATION.

The Windcm Citizen says: A letter
received a few days since from a gentle.
man in central Iowa indicates that the
leaven Of Our land assoc ation is work
ing. That the seed sown at the Heron
Lake convention is bound to bring forth
a booming harvest. The gentleman
makes special inquiries in regard to the
resources and chances for investment in
this region. They have been answered
by letter, but we shall try soon to pub
lish such information regarding our
country as every home seeker wants to
know. The attention or this man was
directed this way by reading report Of
the Heron Lake meeting in the Cedar
Rapids Republican. There is hint
for advertising where it will do the most
good.

was, ''Ihe way of the transgrcssor is

THE WABASH.

A Sioux Falls paper says that work
is about to begin on line giving them
connection with the Wabash system or
with the branch line surveyed through
Sheldon and Rock Rapids. The Rock
Rapids Review adds that the idea that
this road will be built to Spirit Lake
has been nearly given up. That de-
pends upon who it is that has given it
up. Spirit Lake and Worthington have
not. The branch via of Sheldon and
Rock Rapids may be built first. but in
due time the short cut to the north
west will be along the original route
through Spirit Lake and Worthington.

HOW no ADVERT1SE THE COUNTRY.
The Worthington, Mimi, = AD-
VANCE gives the following us a good
way to advertise the country, which is
states that want to come west, and are
anxious to learn OF the country and are
desirOus of getting reliable information.
With all due Difference to the intelli.
gence of the people in the ea t, yet there
are many who have crude ideas of the
west and need information. Says the
ADVANCE:
TN the early days in this county,
when this was known as the National
Colony" the editor of the ADVANCE
wrote letters which were published in
nearly 500 newspapers. We had ex-
tended letters in such papers as the n.
Y. Tribune, Boston Globe, Philadelphia
Press, Pittsburg Commercial. Cincinnati
Gazette, Cleveland Herald, Buffalo Ex-
press and host of county papers. Our
method was to get the name Ola settler
and the name Of his home county paper
and write letter for him. Often the
editors OF these papers would write and
| request more correspondence Of the
same sort. E. F. Drake pronounced
this about the best method of advertis-
ing a country he had heard of. AS Il
result we had on the colony books the
names of over 5000 correspondents,
most of them heads of families. who
wanted to come to the Colony. And
II the grasshoppers and the great finan-
cial crash had not struck us, Mobiles
| county would have had 5000 settlers
| during the first four or five years after
| 1872.
The time has arrived in our history
when every one can conscientlously
recommend the country and work for
immigration. It would pay our Board
! of Trade to hire a Secretary at regular
salary and keep him busy sending out
documents and writing letters to news
papers,"

ment heretofore given in these columns
t',at the Burlington road will be lex-

Worthington the present season. Spit,t
Lake will be vastly benefited directly
and indirectly by this extension, hence
we regard the situation with intense
satisfaction.
