NOT BEYOND WATERFOWL.
The Aberdeen Pioneer SAWS:

Iho Aberdeen IIOneer says:
We have it from 4 party who has had
an interview with both President Ca

Ives, of the Burlingt on, Cedar Rapids
s. Northern, that the Rock Island Will
not build west OF Watertown this sea.
son, unless compelled to do 50 by the
movement Of some other railroad to
occupy the territory Which they desire.
We really hope that. some other rail
road will proceed at once to put in Il
claim for the brautiful and ertile c"un
try between Wat-rtown and Bismarck.
which is greatly in need Of railroad ia
cilities.
Perhaps the Rock Island has some
other extensions to attend to this year
We published last week III item from
Bradstreet's Journal. saying that the
Rock Island was pushing towards Far
90. The direct Fargo route is north
from Worthington. Whether any
thing will be done this year W. cannot
say, but the road will be built.
Recently in conversation with a
prominent Murray county gentleman,
he urged the formation OF a local COM
pany to survey the line and SECURE the
right Of way. If this could be done.
and especially if the road could be gra-
ded by the company, we woul soon SEE
several of the great Railroad compani's
coming forward ANA offering 10 iron
and operate it.
50 also Worthington could secu,r
the Milwaukee if Il local company could
be formed to secure line from here t.
either Spirit Lake or I.akefeld.

Ayers Sarsaparlla.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail
ure to effect a radical cure.
Some years ago ono of Mr.. LELASD's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rible itching of the skim, with burning and
darting pains through tho lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELASD's direc-
tion, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
R1LLA, which al!ayc,. the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, aud
completely restored the limb to use.

A Horse In = Dry Goods House.

young stallion belonging to Andy Gaier,
the East Main street saloouist, INDUCED in q
go-as-you-please yesterday afternoon, taking
the pavement on Limestone street, just like
the other promenaders. Arrived in front of
John Wren's dry goods house. in Dial's build.
Ing, he was attracted by the sight OF his own
shadow in the big plate glass show window
and, with horse sense, amblsd up to improve
the acquaintance with another young colt.
OF course as he approached the windsw the
shadow, or reflection rather, seemed to ap-
prosch him until they touched noses. The
colt then raised on hoof and struck out pro-
ducing, much TO his own astonishment and
no small fright a tremendous crash, leaving a
hole about midway the paae large enough for
man to crawl through. The glass was
worth about $500, which 1t 10 thought the
owner of the horse will have to pay. 1t is
not many weeks since the glass was broken
out Of the same window by two young men
who were engaged in a playful scufie.
