The Chicago & Freeport Road.
Commenting on an article published
in this paper short time ago, the
Saltwater Gazette says:
''1t is evident from the above that
our neighbors are fully convinced las
the officials are) of the utter loss that
would be sustained by running the @.
L. & st. p. road through River Falls
in preference to Wildwood and Still
water. Like drowning man they
are trying to save themselves by
holding on to the floating straw of a
''first Survey" but it is of no use as
no effort ON their part will save them,
if our city backs up its heartfelt de-
sires and makes the proper effort in
the right direction.
A railroad meeting was held last
| Tuesday in Gilman, Wis, for the
purpose of obtaining information
from gentlemen present from River
Falls, as to the action that had been
taken in procuring the passage of the
main line of the Chicago, Freeport &
ST. Paul road through their town. 1t
is evident that River Falls and the
neighboring towns are determined to
make the prelimary survey perma-
nent one, as far as they are concern
ed. TO our citizens we say, hold fast
to that which you have and the above
effort will be of no avail in keeping
the main line of this road from pass
ing through saltwater.
The 5000, 900 bonus spoken of as an
inducement to be given by saltwater,
would undoubtedly be given if it was
necessary, but the large amount of
business done in our city compared to
that of River Falls and its neighbor-
ing towns, is sufficient of itself to in
duce this road to run its main line
through our city. The matter of "a
survey is of minor Importance, and
plays no part in the important ques-
ton of which way the main line of
the Chicago, Freeport & st. Paul road
will go!''
We also find the following excerpt
in the same paper:
s'In a letter received by cashier
Prince from Mr.. w. r. O'Hearn, of
| the jackson county bank, Black River
| Falls, Wis, he says: 4 notice that
the Chicago, Freeport & st. Paul peo-
pie are figuring at your place. We
have thought that if they go there
| our chance for getting them will be
| better and / would like to hear from
you if they have decided between
your place and River Falls. We are
willing to do considerable to induce
them to come this way, which togeth'
er with the immense deposits of iron
ore at this place, may induce them to
come"
All this means that we cannot safely
| rest upon our own advantages with a
surety that we are all right. but on
| the other hand that we should be
watchful, and where necessary be pre-
pared to meet the Freeport enterprise
| with such inducements as may per.
suade them that this is the proper
| route.

We take pleasure in recommending

No medicine should be given to a
child without the mother full know
ledge of it's character. Castoria is a
standard prescription of distinguish

ingredients accompanies each bottle.
1t is purely vegetable and is not mar
cotic. 1t may he given without change
of diet or fear of harm, and in its eff
fects is superior to Paregoric, Nor

with plain directions for making infinite varie-

There are thousands of women throughout

the crochet-hook and knitting needle, to whom
the Dorcas is invaluable. The patterns given
are selected with care and taste, and the work.

mistakes Knitting, Netting, Croehet-work all
kinds of fancy work are treated in its columns.

The citizens meeting held on Tues
| day evening at Brackets Hall was
we'll attended and for the larger part
! by those who were desirious to learn
| the truth and act accordingly. Hon.
| j. ID. Putnam presided over the meet
| ing. w. ID. Parker made the first adj
dress on the subject of the advantages
of better form of organization. He
presented the points in clear and
| forcible manner and evidently carried
his audience with him for the most
part. He was followed by DIR. A. d.
Andrews with discussion of the
equalization as it is and as it should
be. The Doctor showed clearly that
owing to the relations necessarily ex-
| listing between the town and the VII
lage that it is impossible under the
town system of government to correct
the abuses which have grown up and
that in the matter of just apportion-
ment of taxes it will be advantageous
to both the town and village to have a
change. Allen P. Weld, ESQ.,, took
the floor at the conclusion of the re-
marks OF DR.. Andrews taking for his
subject the taxes paid by the territory
embraced in the municipality hitherto.
His object being to show that at the
present rate of taxation sufficient
money is paid to amply provide for all
expenses of city government without
increasing the taxes. The statements
and figures presented showed that the
average amount raised in road district
No. for the past three years includ-
ing the license fees paid annually,
amounts to the sum of S4596. 70 a sum
which the speaker commended was suf-
ficient to pay all necessary expense of
the city and leave a handsome surplus
Mr.. Albert Foster then asked some
questions which were answered.
Messrs. Foster and Ruyter spoke brief
ly in opposition to the charter evinc-
ing deep interest in the welfare of
the village and showing that their
views were decidedly in favor of the
present system of government. The
meeting now took on a conference
form and soon adjourned. Petitions
in favor of the charter were circulat-
ed and received quite a large number
of signatures. The outlook seems to
indicate that large majority of the
resident tax payers are in favor of the
organization and that the measure is
likely to succeed.

When a new drama has proved sue

When a new drama has proved sue
cessful, it is customary for the audi
ence to call the author before the cur
tain. They have curiosity to see
what sort of main it is that created
the play that has amused and instruct
ed them. There is something very
much like this in regard to our great
newspapers; their editorial utterances
are all anonymous, but there is gen.
orally tradition of some half shadowy
parsonage who has established the
journal, given in its character, and
constantly directs it; and the public
like to have him before the curtain
now and then to address them in his
own person. This Murat Halstad, of
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette has
done in the March number of the
North American Review, to which he
contributes an article on the Revival
of Sectionalism. In the same num-
Der, Archdeacon Farrar presents his
views on Future Ketribution, and
Prof. N. X. Davis discusses The
Moral Aspects on Vivisection" in a
way that brings together briefly
nearly everything that any person of
note has said on the subject. Max
Muller describes the astonishing ideas
| of the BuddLists on the subject of
| Charity, and George John Romanes
opens up great subject with an arti-
| Gle on 'Mind in Men and Animals. !"

Recent events lend special interest
to the opening paper in the March
Century on 1.-The Land of the False
Prophet" by Gen. r. E. Colston, for
merly of the Egyptian General Staff,
and leader of two expeditions in the
Soudan. General Colston's article
was written early in October, yet he
seems to have anticipated the obsta-
Giles with which the British expedi-
ton has had to contend, and the in
formation he conveys throws much
light on subsequent events.
