RAILROAD MAT ERS.

Extensive improvements by the North
western-Es 1T the Illinois Central ar "a
Townsite, or BOtha
The Chicago and Northwestern rail-
way will make extensive improvements
this season, and will, it is understood,
make that city q general headquarters
for their southeastern Dakota business.
The foregoing paragraph is taken
from the North western Railroader of
April 18Th, o st Paul publication de.
voted to railroad matters in the north
west. Intimations of extensive improve.
ments OF this city by the Northwestern
company have previously been given
forth, but the suggestion that Yankton
is to be the Dakota headquarters of the
company is new. If there is anything
in the statement it is also the intention
of the Northwestern to extend from
Yankton or to connect it's Nebraska and
Dakota systems at this point. Whatever
the Northwestern may conclude to do in
the way of improvements here is not
publicly known bat there are many in
dications that Yankton is to hat COM
pany o much more important point than
ever before.
The second appearance in Yankton
yesterday of d, O. Rice, and his dis
appearance later 10 the day, along with
E. 81. Van Antwerp, beyond the hills CD
the Nebraska side OF the river. gives rise
to oonjectures. Mr.. Rice is in the m
ploy ot the Illinois Central RAILROAD end
is the surveyor who last year ran the
Illinois Central line into Yankton and
who surveyed the Central line from
| Cherokee to Sioux Falls. These facts
give significance to his presence here
and his pilgrimage across the river, &C.
compsnied by q local surveyor. It is
said by those who pretend to know that
| Mr.. Rice and Mr.. Van Antwerp have
been employed to survey a towosite
twenty-five or thirty miles southwest
from Yankton, said townsite being own
ed by Yankton parties and nonresident
EnglIshmen. As the parties who profess
to know about the townsIte are the ones
most likely to know about the Illinois
Central and the Manitoba, those specu-
~latively inclined put two and two to-
gether and reach the conclusion that the
TOWNSHIP scheme, il it exists, is instiga-
ted by railroad movements. For what's
the use laying out q townsite on the
bare prairie thirty miles from any rail-
roadp Mr.. Rice and Nil. Van Antwerp
will return to Yankton tonight.

This disease is influenza with oph-
thalmia. 1t is no doubt epizootic and
not contagious, being the result of
widespread atmospheric causes, as con-
tinued hot, dry weather, or close,
damp weather, or such other influences
as will disturb the condition of the ami
NAL. A heated dry spell, followed by
heavy cold rain or hail-storms, or a
wet time followed by damp. muggy,
hot weather, generally precedes an at
tack of this disease. Animals kept in
dark, damp, unclean stables, or in wet,
undraiued low fields are most subject
to this combined disease. The treat
ment is to give eighteen or twenty-four
ounces of Epson salts, to change the
locality of the animal, and keep it on
dry soil in an open shed freely admit
ting air. and to put into the eye with a
soft canefs-hair pencil about two
grains of burned alum (roasted TO
dry powder on hot stove). If the eye
is panied by the light and tears flow
copiously hang a wet rag, dipped in a
solution of one ounce of sulphate of
zinc in a quart of water, over it for a
shade. =. Times.

THE Andaman Islanders shave almost the

said that a wife takes peculiar pleasure in
shaving the head of her husband.
