THE B. e. r. AND ". HEADQUARTERS
LOCATE AT WORTHING7ON.
The question of u defnate location of
the headquarters of the Cedar Rapids
Iowa Falls T. Northwestern Railway
(which is this end of the B. G. II. &
ny, was officially settled at the recent
meeting in Cedar Rapids.
After settling some matters relating
to extensions of the road made hereto
fore, the directors resolved that Wor-
thington. III Mobiles county, should be
designated rs the headquarters, or the
place of business, of the corporation
in the State of Minnesota. Also that
Daniel Rohrer, of Worthington, lie ap-
pointed agent of the corporation, az
thoriZed to accept service Of process
and upon whom such service may be
made in any action against the compa-
ny. This makes Worthington the
principal place of business for I'LL the
lines in the State including the line to
Albert Lea. Yhe records are to be
kept here, and all papers are filed here
except such mortgages rs necessarily
must be recorded in counties through
which the road passes.
Watertown has been designated as
the principal place Of business for Da-
kota.
AS to the extension north from here
the coming summer we have nothing
positive. but all the indications point
that way. Rumor Says that the deed
for the "a acres of Is. e.. II. & n.
grounds 1T WOrthington has been sign
Ell, but this is rumor only. That the
matter will soon he closed up, l,owev-
er, there is no doubt, and with q acres
of ground 1T this point the road will
have room for whatever depots, shops,
or tracks it may need.
The fact that the road wants that
much ground here, when 4 or acres is
considered enough 1T points like I.u-
verne. is certainly significant.
7HE CoMPLIllEN7S or THE SEASON
Geo. ". Penn concludes his long
statement in last week s Record with
the following al'usion to the we
blnsl) the editor of the ADVANCE:
Nor have l any i'll feeling toward him
on account Of the rose tinted letters
which he sent to me Il year ago. What
lie did was natural and ,'Xcusabie. lie
had from some cause or other cOnceiv-
rl II feeling vt dislike for II. J. W.
ElOOm, and was deSirons to get rid OF
him. To me Brother Miller was Il
stranger. At amy rate lie did not ad-
dress me under the mask of unseltish
friendship, and it was my own fault if
accepted all his representations at
their face value. My relations with
him since came t, WOrthington have
been nriehbnrly and pleasant. What
his treatment of me- in the future may
be know not. Whether he shall AS
sail me us he has been accustomed to
assall my Bloom ing predecessor, will
make but little difference to me either
in this world or the world to come
dwell together in the Land Of the Leal,
when
Earth will count two mortals less,
NHu IViPcll tNO dISclS more.
Heaven forbid that we should ever
assail Penn as we did the wretch who
so wantonly and in such beastly man.
ner assailed us to please the most in
famous people in Worthington. We
could not thus assail Penn, for we have
not the facts to do it with. We still
believe Geo. W. Penn TO lie a gentle
man and an able editor, but he is the
victim of that devilish element which
hates the ADVANCE and has ruined
every other paper that has ever started
in Worthington.
Moreover, Mr.. Penn says in a letter
written from Sioux City, Jan. 13, 1885,
to an attorney in Worthington:
that has happened. Had l been in his
circumstances, should probably have
done as he did.
Nor have I any fault to find with
Sheriff Miller, notwithstanding l have
lost several hundred dollars through
my implicit confidence in his Judgment
and fidelity as a friend. 1 have no
doubt he feels as sorry as do over the
loss nave SuStalned."
If this does not acquit A. p. and r.
r. what does? Mr.. Penn says one
thing in private and another in his
published statement.
We are sincerely sorry for Mr.. Penn,
and we believe firmly, and in fact we
know, that if he had done as he agreed
with the ADVANCE, and had run the
Record long enough for the public tc
get confidence in it, he would have
succeeded.
A member of the legislature was al
the rink last night and through force
Of habit took q seat on the floor of the
house.-St. Paul Dispatch.
Hope Mr.. Crosby will own up if he j:
tho member. By-the- way, did he ask
for the ''eyes'' and "nose" when h.
got up?
Next Wednesday will be March 4tl
and extensive preparations are goins
on for the inauguration of Cleveland
