1t has been Il topic Of conversation
for some time among railroad circles,
whether the Chicago, Rock Island &
Pacific company will put a line Of rail
road into Dakota during this coming
summer: and in the occasion Of so do
ing, what Wonld lee the most probable
locality fog the read. The question has
been decided by the information re-
Gently obtained from interested parties.
One contract has already been let for
eighty miles Of grading, from Redwood
Tails, . point on The Minneapolis and
II. Louis railroad 10 the jim River.
The work on this contract will. IN all
probability, lie commenced in less than
thirty days, A surycyhas already been
made to Marshall, Mimi, on the North
western, and if they run west from
there, which Is by far the most ptausi-
bic route, they reach the Jim river
somewhere near Huron. The country
along this line viii necessitate no great
amount of grading, and will be ly Ear
the best line to gain their intended ter
limitations. Tie whole Of this branch
can be completed this summer, and it is
very probable that it viii be. This will
add another great outlet to this rapidly
growing county, and give us 3 line

The Coming Wheat Crop.

Chicago, March 2t.-Ihe farmers Re-
lew, this city, has the following sum
mary On winter wheat prospects, based
on replies from over a thousand of it's
correspondents; Winter wheat has
commenced to grow in the southern
districts, hut reports of damage by
freezing still continue. Inc develop
ment OF growth has as yet been small,
but the advent CT warm weather would
help the general condition of the crop
greatly. 1t now looks as if farmers
from Dakota to Illinois Will be able to
begin spring seeding soon after April /.
lriceS offer no encouragement for an
increase in The acreage Of spring wheat,
but from the amount Of new breaking
in the northwest last fall it does not
seem probable she acreage will &c ma
terially diminished.

Wilmington have started In the righl
direction and in the right manner u
make their efforts effective for work
during the coming winter. The object
Is fully set forth in the report Of the
Board, which We publish In another
column. The people OF Wilmington are
noted for being charitable to the poor
and needy. II Is very doubtful fs the
people in any other city Of the same
population excel them in the noble
work of charity.
But, Notwithstanding all this, there
always has been q large amount Of I'M
relieved suffering In our midst. Con-
tributions from various cities have beeu
liberal enough to meet all reasonable
demands, but they were distributed
without proper disc elimination. the most
worthy getting the least because the
least demonstrative. One species OF
want has continually Haunted itself In
our faces.
1t was met at the doors Of our resi-
dences upon the streets, and in our
business offices, and we became so IA
miliar with it that we were fully con-
WINGED that it was unworthy Of the
support given promiscuously to 1t.
Another species Of want and suffering
was one with which we were less IA
miliar because it WAS modest and retir-
ing, but for rlpt reason more worthy
OF recognition
In the hurry and hustle Of business,
contributions by charity were often DO
slowed upon thu least worthy. while
often the lone widow with her orphan
children, living in the little houss
AROUND the corner, yes, and some
times in better houses upon the MAR
streets, were allowed 10 suffer, simply
because they were prevented from dis
closing their need through an innat,
and commendable sense Of honor ant
Inodesty.
The admirable plan adopted by IL,
