SIOUX CRY, Iowa, April Reliable
information is received that the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy will, about the
18th inst. renew work on its Alma, Wi
mona and Northern line up the east
side of the Mississippi from Du-
buque to st. Paul. Some time since it
was given out that work was suspended
because the bonds could not be sold.
The real reason for the delay was to
give time for negotiations with the
Illinois Central about joint use of the
tracks of these two companies between
Chicago and Dubuque. As contracts
have, within few days, been closed for
a renewal of the work, it is inferred that
the two companies have come to an I'M
derstanding. 4. p. Reynolds d Co.
have the contract for building the road
from East Dubuque to La Crosse, 125
miles. From Winona north 40 miles of
grade are we'll along. The road is to
be finished this season to St. Paul.

DON'T SEE THE PoINT.-In an edito-
rial in the Lancaster Teller of April 2
we find these extraordinary sentences,
referring to the proposed reading-room
in Lancaster: 1.-The object of the read
ing-room is to give young men an at
traction that will keep them away from
the saloons and perhaps from store po-
ker The motive is good indeed. But
we gravely doubt whether the result
would prove satisfactory. 1t is an effort
to feed, what? 1t is an effort to feed
evil inclinations, isn't it? An effort to
satisfy them. If the evil inclinations
are fed and satisfied, are they removed
or destroyed? Are they not rather
magnified and made ready for more
desperate future destruction of their
victims? The best thing to do is to so
train the youth as to disincline him to
n hankering after the dreaded evils"
We must confess that we cnnnot see the
point that our neighbor attempts to
make. We presume his idea was all
right, for we scarcely believe that any
educator of the public would wish to
claim or imply that an attempt to estab-
lish reading-room is an effort to feed
evil inclinations. He must have gotten
the saloon and reading-room mixed up

BADLY FRIGHTENED. - The wor-
shippers at the different church prayer
meetings have frequently been disturbed
by the disorderly conduct on the street.
of some of the street arabs of our city, and
quite possibly by some boys whose par
ehts were worshipping within. The
other evening couple of young scape-
graces were amusing themselves by
PLAYING the bones and dancing on the
sidewalk in front of the Methodist
church, while they were holding a
prayer-meeting within. Some one
slipped out of the back door and brought
the marshal, who caught them in the
act and took them up to the Jail. They
were released, however, ON their promise
not TO repeat the oifense. but they were
pretty badly frightened. There are
several more who will get into trouble
if they do not behave better on our
streets, and they may not get of so
easily either.

C0Id-Water Canada.

The vote in several counties of the
western portion of the Canadian prov
ince of Ontario, on the adoption of the
Scott law, which prohibits the sale of
liquor except for medicinal purposes,
produces much CONSERVATION among
liquor dealers in Canada. The result
brings the list of counties adopting the
law up to fifty-six, besides four cities
Six months ago thirty-four counties and
two cities had adopted it. So far the
law has been submitted TO vote in sew
enty-one counties and cities, of which
eleven have rejected and sixty hav G
adopted the measure. Temperance
people claim that within eighteen
months every county in the dominion
will have an opportunity to vote on the
question of adopting the law, and they
are hopeful of securing its adoption in
Toronto and Montreal. the capture of
either of which stronghold means the
total humiliation of the trade in liquor
in the dominion of Canada.

General Grants condition is not
materially changed. He does not suffer
as much as aweek ago and his physicians
think the condition of his throat little
more favorable. but he grows percept-
IDLY weaker every day, though he still
is able to walk about his room. All
feel the end TO be very near and the
General himself expresses his willingness
TO have it come. The expressions of
sympathy which be daily receives from
public bodies and private individuals,
crafty and touch him deeply.

A FREE READING RooM.-The estab-

A FREE READING RooM.--The estab-
lishment of free reading-room in Lam
caster is now a matter of certainty.
Over $500 has already been subscribed
and a good many who win contribute
literally have not been seen by the
committee. There are few who shave
grave doubts as to the success of such
an institution here, but that is to be ex-
pected. They will say they are ''agree-
ably surprised when the reading-room
become popular resort, and the young
people begin TO acquire taste for read
ing. 1t seems to us there can be no
question as to the desirability of plac-
ing such advantage in the way OF all,
and it cannot with any justice be
urged that the reading room will oppose
the home. There are a good many
young men who have no homes. The
quiet, and refining atmosphere of lib
rary and reading-room can but prove
more agreeable to any young man, after
hard days work than the cheerless-
ness of scantily furnished room at a
hotel or boarding house. Travelling
men often stop here over night and Of
ten over Sunday. Would it not prove
an agreeable place for them to pass a
quiet hour? Then there are the more
advanced pupils in the schools, who
would End the books of reference of
great assistance to them in their studies.
People of al classes, ages and conditions
would lind it convenient TO have the
leading papers and magazines on file
where they could be seen at any time.
This is the golden opportunity of the Lib
rary Association. The benefits of the lib
rary have been enjoyed by very few.
BY placing the books in more attract
i've room, by making them accessible
at all times, and by making the pro-
posed additions, the association would
gain many new members, additions to
the library would be contributed, and
the books would be doing much more
good than at present. The writer has
seen Tbs working of an institution of
this kind, in town of about the size of
Lancaster There was no lack of in
terest, and there were good many
young boys in the town who had read
more books in that readinp-room than
the average OF Intelligent people in this
place has ever read. A meeting has
been called to consideri the best means
of starting our reasling-room. Let all
who are interested in this good work en-
deavor to be present, and give word
of encouragement if ncthing more.
