RAILROAD RACKET.-A party of
thirteen surveyors in the employ of
the c., Nj, q st Paul company have
been surveying between Lanark and
Warren, distance of thirty miles.
They surveyed two routes, and it is
certain that the company will build
a road on one of the surveys during
the coming summer This line
when completed will give this part
of the country direct and short
route to Chicago, the distance be-
ing thirty miles less than the pres
ent route through Rockford, and
sixty-two miles shorter than by the
way of Milwaukee. 1t is the opin-
ion of many that the survey lately
made through the eastern part of
this county is scheme of the c.,
NJ IL st. II. folks to keep other
roads out of this territory, though
nothing more definite than guessing
can be arrived at. 1t is rumored
that the Milwaukee company will
also extend their line from Mineral
Point north, tapping the Prairie du
Chen division at Lone Rock. The
Richland Center Branch connects
with the Prairie du Chen division
at this place, and it will be seen that
with the Lanark and Mineral Point
extensions very large territory
would be placed in direct communi-
cation with Chicago, especially az
there is slight probability that the
road will be eextended from Richland
Center northward. This is our little
scheme, but the G, NJ. S St. Il. Co.
need not build these connections
simply because We advocate it,
Darlington Democrat.

N'' II Ut VI0Ui VIIhII IIIs1II' ;
CALVERT SPENSLEY, Secretary.

OUR enterprising contemporary,
the Democrat, has undoubtedly pen
citrate d the mystery that has, for un-
told ages, enshrouded the origin of
that ancient and honored body, The
1901. 1t is now unquestionably the
Oldest institution of the kind ever
known to man; and indeed it is not
at all improbable that it is equally
as ancient as man himself; for there
must of necessity have arisen de-
mand for such ali institution in
the then existing circumstances 1t
is generally believed that the origi-
nal language of our first parents was
the Hebrew; Mt least so biblical
scholars and others tell us. But the
names of those dignitaries under
whose dynasty the order is supposed
to hHve had its origin, have the APP
pearance of being Chinese, but they
can unquestionably be traced back
through the various changes which
they must have undergone, to mans
first attempt to give expression to
his thoughts. This longing desire
to pierce and scatter the dark and
impenetrable gloom that shuts off
our sight from the things of the
dim and misty past, is commendable;
and we hope others will emulate this
feeling, so that we may some day
see these things, as, not looking
through glass darkly, but as in the
light of the MONDAY sun.
