NORTHERN PACIFIC JUNCTION, Mimi,
March 26,-The body of a man, appar-
emily thirty years of age, with bullet
hole through his head, was found in the
woods about three miles from this place,
yesterday. He was recognized by the
proprietor of the Commercial house as
one of party of two hunters who
stopped at his hotel last winter. He has
no hand on the left arm, but it is claimed
that it was off from birth. He appeared
to be very sociable man, and displayed
quite a role of bills when settling his
account. Nothing further of him was
seen until he was brought in a corpse.
His tongue and the left side of the Jaw
had been eaten off, the work of mice or
weasles.

Our little son will be four years of age on
the 25th inst. In May, 1885, he was attacked
with a very painful breaking out of the skin.
We called in physician. who treated him for
about four weeks The child received little or
no good from the treatment, as the breaking
out, supposed by the physician to be hives in
an aggravated form, became larger In blotches
and more and more distressing. We were fire.
qnently obliged to get up in the night and rub
him with soda In water, strong liniments, etc.
Finally, we called other physicians, until no
less than six had attempted to cure him, all
alike failing, and the child steadily getting
worse and worse, until about the 10th OF last
July, when we began to give him Cuticura Re-
solvent internally. and the Cuticura, and Gu
ticura Soap externally, and by the last of
August he was so nearly well that we gave
him only one dose OF the Resolvent about
every second day for about ten days longer,
ana he has never been troubled since with the
horrible maladv. In all we used less than one
half of bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, a little
less than one box Of Cuticura and only one
cake of Cuticura soap.

RUINED THE TOWN.

Kenny, Ills, Suffers the Loss of Nearly
All Its Business Houses.
CLINTON, Ills, March 26.-Nearly the
whole of the business portion of the
town of Kenny, in Dewitt county, was
burned last night. Twelve stores, most
of them frame buildings, ranged along
both sides of the principal street, were
destroyed. The fire started in Meriman's
hardware store, and, on account of the
inflammable nature of the buildings, the
means of fighting it were inadequate.
The loss will be heavy, and will almost
ruin the business interests of the town.

THE PROPOSED ROUTE.

The projected route is from New York
across North America to point beyond
the northwestern boundary Of the United
States; thence to Behring straits; across
there to the coast Of Asia; across Asia
and Europe. The great gap is at present
across Siberia, where there is no rail
road. However, the recent movements
of the Russian government tend towards
putting rails across this territory. From
the western continent of Europe to the
Ural mountains there is now communica-
ton by rail, and the car Of Russia is
said to be much interested in two lines
of railway across Asia. These roads
terminate on the eastern shores of the
Pacific, the one terminating at Oren-
burg, the other at Ekaterinburg. But
in order to make the chain of railway
around the globe complete, the distance
from st. Petersburg to Behring straits
must be traversed. This region has not
vet a single line of railway.
The Russian government, feeling the
necessity of spanning this territory, has
sanctioned line of railway to be built
across it, terminating at Vladivistock
near Japan, almost due west from Port
land, Ore. The continents of Asia and
America are much nearer at this parallel
than further south, but not near enough
for the purposes of international railway
communication For this there must be
a branch line leaving the Russian road
a considerable distance west from Via
LIVESTOCK and running up through Siberia
to Behring straits.
It is understood that the crossing of
Behring straits is perfectly practicable.
In the narrowest place they are but ten
miles wide and are full of islands, so
that bridges can be thrown from one to
another During portion of the year
the straits are open and cars could be
crossed on boats the same as across the
river between Detroit and Windsor,
Canada.
The principal American tract unpro-
vided for is across Alaska. AS yet there
is no move to traverse this country,
which is almost an unknown wilderness.
But with the rapid pushing westward on
the continent and the valuable products
to be gained from Alaska, it is probable
that not many years will elapse before
the American Pacific roads will be
pushed to the Straits.
