The plans for the Young Mems
Investment Company's new building

tects competed, as follows: Messrs.
Pass, Gerlach, Thayer and Burdick, of
Mankato; Wilcox 4 johnson, of st.
Paul; Allen, Yost and 0rth, of Minne-
apolis; and G. A. Durham, of Burling-
ton. The cost of the building after diff

$4S, 900. Several of the plans win make
elegant structures If followed. The

"A very pleasant meeting occurred
yesterday afternoon between Messrs. A.
Merrill, father TO F. N. Merrill, Esq, of
this city and I. Saulspaugh. Something
over forty years ago these gentlemen,
then young men, worked together in
South Adams, Mass. At that time Mer-
rill was known to Saulpaugh as the
"mighty poor workman, and Saulpaugh
was known to Mr.. M. as Swearing
Tom" Not since those days had these
gentlemen seen each other until yester-
day, and it was meeting as of old low
ers. Both men had grown gray with
age, but happily both retain the vigor
of young manhood, and the puns that
passed between them caused much mer-
riment to the bystanders.
Mr.. NJ. G. Daley, of Mapleton, re-
turned from California few days ago,
where he has been looking over the
country. He is much disappointed with
the result of his investigations. Maple
ton people who have located there in
formed him that while it was good
place TO reside in winter, in summer
there was but little enjoyment. The
dust is encountered i've inches deep
and it Is almost impossible to recognize
a companion after driving few miles
in the country, so thick is the dust.
Farm land sells for 81 900 per acre while
it is rented for So per acre per year.
Wood is worth $22 per cord and is moth
ing more than the roots of the grease
wood and sage brush taken from the
ground. Coal is $28 per ton and kero-
;ene fifty cents a gallon. Transports
ion is so high that the cost of living is
raised very materially.

There is only one wav to cure Deafness,

Deafness is caused by an lnfamed con-

and this tube restored to its normal con-

A Large Estate.

A broad land is this in which we live,
dotted so thickly with thrifty cities,
towns and villages! Amid them all, with
ever-increasing popularity and helpful
ness, is DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, giving hope and cheer where
there is disease and despair. Wherever
there is humanity there is suffering;
wherever there is suffering there is the
best field for this greatest American
Remedy. Consumption (which is lung
scrofula), yields to it, if employed in the
early stages of the disease; Chronic Nasal
Catarrh yields to it; Kidney and Liver
diseases, yield to it! Ifyou want the best
known remedy for all diseases of the
blood, ask for DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery, and take no other.

GAINS IN RAILROAD EARNINGS.

Eleven railroads have reported their gross earn
ings for the first week in February. Of them
nine for which we have the record Of 1856 give an
aggregate Of s073O19, against an aggregate OF

In the week Of 1874 gain of so,lO2, or 20 per

1887 Of IA per cent, and since January OF nearly

week is At per cent, and since January 1t Is 90
per cent Chicago Milwaukee and st. Paul shows
O gain for the week Of S2l, Cos, or 6.8 per cent;
hence il we are to believe what it is strenuousiy
urged we shall beleve-that the railway war at
the West between few competitive points anects

that in the first week of February, sss, the st.
