THE d. q. Il. d N: GROUNDS.
The ADVANCE has frequently al.
nOunced that the B. e.. r. & n. rail-
road had secured ~ acres Of grounds ut
Wortl,ington for depot and other pur-
poses. This was correct in the main,
but the deed was not really put on rec
ord until yesterday, Goth, when it
came into the hands Of Register john
son. Tie exact amount of ground SO
cured was 214 acres, rs there were
some changes after the original selec-
ton and agreement. These grounds
all lie south of the St. Paul & Omaha
track and begin at the little lake north
of the old Drake Addition. at this
point they are $40 feet wide. They ex-
tend down nearly to the East Lake,
narrowing as they approach the Oma-
ha Depot.
The b. G. r s. n. Company lave Sc
cured this as beginning and are ne
gotiating for more.
What does this mean? At points
like Sibley, Luverne, Pipestone, etc.,
it seems that four to five acres are suf-
ticient, but here the company has Sc
cured over q acres and needs more.
This must mean that tl,ey have im
p.,rtant plans to mater 'ize at this
point, which will require ample
grounds.
We are not in the confidence of the
company, but we believe that this is
about what will occur during the next
few years, viz:
Tie line north will be built, that is,
the Fargo Southern will come to Wor.
thington from Crtonville. The L. &.
II. l. n. now operated from here south
will have such arrangements with the
Fargo Southern as to make them virtu-
ally Que road. But being two, and
the terminus eft each being at this
point, shops and offices for both will be
located 1T Worthington.

CURE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some affection
of the kidneys or neighboring organs.
At times SYMPTOMS of Indigestion are pre-
sent, fatulency, uneasiness of the stomach,
etc. A moisture like perspiration, pro-
ducing very disagreeable itching after
getting warm is common attendant.
Blind, bleeding and itching piles yield at
once to the application of DR.. Bosanko' IS
Pile Remedy, which acts directly on the
parts affected, absorbing the tumors'
allaying intense itching, and effecting a
permanent cure. Price so cents. Address,

Washington correspondent

Washington correspondent says
Among the things embraced in Mr.. Strin-
gers proposed revision of the house rules
is 1T amendment to consolidate commit
tees and this subject is being discussed by
members who have arrived. Whether it
will meet with the favor of majority of
members remains to be seen. In the
makeup of committees great pressure is
brought to bear upon the speaker for COM
mittee places and chairmanships, and to
satisfy members additional committees
have been formed from time to time.
Many of these committees are entirely
useless, and have been formed simply to
accommodate certain members with
chairmanships and clerks. It is pro-
posed to combine certain of these COM
mittees and form two or three where
there have been dozen.

weeks ago the commissioners court of
this county granted Mr.. A. J. Jernigan
county treasurer, leave of absence until
December 1, to enable him to visit his old

reporter said that he had enjoyed a most
pleasant trip. He said his aged parents
he had not seen in ten years
were each in the best of health, and give
promise of many more years of useful
ness. All of the family, except one broth
er, were at the golden wedding, and the
occasion was peculiarly an enjoyable one.

Mr.. D. H. Barnaby, of Owego, NY, says
that his daughter was taken with vio-

monia, and all the best physicians gave
the case up and said she could live but a
few hours at most. She was in this con-
dition when a friend recommended DIR.

vised her to try it. She accepted it as a
last resort, and was surprised to find that
it produced marked change for the bet
ter, and by perservering in its use cure

COLONEL DICK CUNNINGHAM AND
HIS MILBURN WAGONS.
The revival of business is indicated in
various ways, but in nothing, perhaps,
more than in the increased demand among
the farmers for pew wagons. Last year
the crop was so short but few were able to
purchase new wagons and they continued
to use their old ones. This year they are
full-handed, and the result is the wagon
trade is a good one. The "Milburn,"
which is handled by R. D. Cunningham,
at 4O7 Pecan street, seems to be the favor
tie. Mr.. G. is the agent for the Milburn
Wagon Co., and a live one he is, too.
Those who once use the Milburn seldom
use any other. This has been the case
for many years in Texas, for it has been a
long time since these wagons gained an en-
viable reputation throughout this state.
There is no wagon in the market more
fully endorsed and none that it is safer to
buy. A Milburn wagon is staple article
wherever it is known.

EDITOR STATESMAN:
[ see that a policeman, interviewed by
your reporter, asserts that my letter was
calculated to mislead the officials, and
that he considers me ignorant of the geo.
graphy Of the country. He then proceeds
in his superior knowledge, to confederate
my statements, and make an additional one,
of which I must confess was ignorant, that
all the associates of the Richards family
live in Blanco county, and that they do all
their business in Blanco. whether town or
county, he does not say.) The latest in
formation we have, is, that Mr.. Latham, a
citizen of Llano county, and his daughter,
have been attacked by the disease, but
that they we're at the house of Mr.. Rich
ards, where a physician and two skilled
nurses are in constant attendance upon
them.
The purpose of my communication was
to assure the citizens of Austin, that the
great majority of the people of Blanco
county were not exposed to infection, and
that Burnett and Llano people should be
quaranteened against as well as those of
Blanco.
It may not matter to the Austin police
men whether the report goes abroad, that
smallpox exists in Blanco county, but it
makes against the county, and people
should know the facts, which I gave.

accuse men of idleness who attend strict
