The Chicago, Freeport & St. Paul R. r.
We notice that a mortgage of ten
millions mas been filed in Madison to
secure the amount OF bonds for the
construction of the above named rail
road This looks as il the company
meant business, especially when
coupled with the fact that the survey
ors are pushing this way rapidly, hay
ing been so near as Durand last week
and coming in this direction. While
we have much confidence that the
road will come to this village, we
confess to have some apprehensions
owing TO new complications which
are taking place. We see that the
Star & Times, Of Hudson, gives as Il
route of the road line passing near
Wildwood in st. CroiX county, and
running thence to Point near Still
water. While this is mere conject-
ure taken from u Menomonie paper,
it proves that others besides ourselves
have an eve to the road and will make
efforts to secure it. We cannot rest
In blind confidence assured that we
have the best route. We supposed
this fifteen years ago when surveys
were beiGe made for the West Wis
cousin but the engineers, under ad-
verse influences, found a practical
roftte far north of us. Again we
hoped to have the present road con-
tinued to tile river and make through
route in that direction, but alas, the
hills were too high and this with
other infiGences prevented this con.
summation of our hopes. The road
nov proposed gives us many and i'm
portant advantages over any of those
formerly suggested, and il hehooves
us to use all legitimate means in our
power to secure it, and among those
is a cordial acceptance of the PROPOSE
tion Of the company which will show
better than any other step our real
desire to have road and sympathy
with their project.

THREE rRAppERs TRAPPED.
Deputy Sheriff Brisbine Takes in a
Crew of Supposed Meat Thieves.

Deputy SneFlH btlSDlhe V8ke8 IN O
! Crew of Supposed Meat Thieves.
During the days which have inter.
vened since the wanton slaughter of a
steer on the farm of Frank Herbert, neal
GAINESVILLE, the weather eye of Deputy
Sheriff Brisbine has been taking in the
situation. The thieves carried away
with them the hind quarter of the steer
with the hide attached and they took
their plunder in the direction of Jim
river. This was the first clue and
subsequent INVESTIGATIONS satisfied
Deputy Brisbine that the marauders
were travelling down the Jim in q boat.
Thanksgiving day he posted himself
near the lower bridge, where he waited
long and patiently for the offenders to
appear. A dinner engagement, backed
by inward suggestions which increased
in intensity the longer he remained in
the Jim river willows, induced the officer
to return to town as the long shadows
from the west began to slant over the
hills. Yesterday morning Mr.. Brisbine
went forth upon another expedition and
this time he penetrated the jnngles
which fringe the banks of the Jim at its
junction with the Missouri. There he
concealed himself and after hours of
weary waiting the party he desired to
interview hove in sight, padding down
the Jim. AS they came opposite the
official ambush they were hailed and
coaxed ashore. Brisbine had a
shot gun with him and this
may have induced the sur
render OF the fresh water fleet, and it
may not. Upon that point the officer is
silent. His capture consisted of three
men, giving their names as Alfred
George and Alvah Conrad. They
claimed to be trappers, and in evidence
OF their calling exhibited a supply of
skins gathered on the voyage. A quar-
ter of beef was also found among the
plumber in the boat, with the hide at
tached. They said they had bought the
beef from a farmer about three weeks
ago, but Brisblne says the beef is too
fresh to sustain such a theory. If the
hide matches with the hide on the aban-
doned portion of the carcass it will be
a circumstance disastrous to the allega-
lions of the voyagers. The men We're
placed in jail and will have their exam
nation before Justice Learned next
Tuesday.

yesterday and day before by work on
bridges. This brings the track upon
the Missouri bottom.
The boarding department at Yankton
college is q department by no means Of
secondary Importance in the conduct of
that institution. An effort is being
made to conduct its affairs SO as to give
the pupils good living at the lowest pos
sible price. There are now between
thirty and forty students boarding at the
college for meals and lodging they
are now paying only So SO per week.
This is ap experimental rate. but if the
managers can make it pay expenses
there will be no increase. The young
men are comfortably cared for within
the college hall, willie the young ladies
frd quarters in a neighboring residence.
Meal for both are served in the college
building. Professor e. A. Norton has
general supervision of the commissary
department. Airs. A. Dawson is land
lady and has under her direction three
servants. Thus far the plan works ad-
mirably and the low price of living is an
additional inducement for patronage of
the Yanktou college.

n Very Interesting Entertainment at
Yanikton College last Evening.
The first public of the year given by
the Yankton College Literary society, at
the college last night, was attended by
a large audience, the spacious chapel of
the building being packed to Its utmost
capacity. The programme, which may
be found below, was successfully carried
out each one OF the participants doing
himself credit.
The meeting opened with a prayer by
Professor Shaw, after which came an ex :
tempore address on the value of Man.
by Fred B. Riggs.
A piano duet by Miss Kate Wheaton,
the instructor in music at the college
and Miss Hyde, n of the lady teachers
entertained the gathering for a time,
In the debate, the arguments on both
sides showed close study and the decis-
ion of the judges for the negative con-
firmed the opinion of the audience.
OF the balance of the programme, we
can but speak in the highest manner
therefore we consider 1t unnecessary to
particularize. Suffice to say, that when
another public is announced the chapel
will be again crowded.
The following is the programme OF
last nights exercises:
