A GIGANTIC SCHEME.
A Consolidated Railway System to Connect
New York with Sitka. Alaska.


CHICAGO, October "a special dispatch
from Milwaukee says private letter writ
ten by President Colby, of the Wisconsin
Central railroad to a stakeholder of the
Northern Pacific system. reveals gigantic
railway consolidation that will connect the
two oceans and revolutionize international
railway traffic. 1t was never intended
that the letter should become public as it
contains the inside workings of great
scheme which is not yet entirely completed.
The consolidation of the Wisconsin Cen
trail and Northern Pacific systems in an
amicable traffic agreement was the first
step. Henry Willard has secretly been at
work to gain possession of a controlling
interest in the Northern Pacific and formed
an alliance with Charles and Joseph Colby
who had unlimited means.
Through this alliance majority of the
Northern Pacific stock has been secured
Henry Willard will be restored to
his lost estate by being made
president of the Northern Pacific system
All his former enemies will be shorn of their
power, and one of the greatest railway con-
solicitations in the world will be consum-
mated. Even now contracts have been
signed whereby the Baltimore and Ohio
road is to enter into an agreement with the
consolidated Wisconsin Central and North
ern Pacific lines connecting the two oceans.
The Atchison is also in the deal, reaching
Mexico and southern California. Chicago
will be made the center for operating the
three great lines. The Northern Pacific
will be extended from Puget Sound and
built into Alaska, making continuous line
from New York to Sitka.
A DENIAL.
BALTIMORE, Md, October 9.-In regard to
the special dispatch from Milwaukee in
Chicago morning paper to-day to the effect
that there had been a consummation of the
consolidation practically of the Northern
Pacific, Wisconsin Central and Baltimore
and OHIO roads, making solid route from
ocean to ocean, First Vice-president Orlan-
do Smith, of the Baltimore and Ohio, says
there is nothing in it. He believes that the
cause of the rumor lies in the fact that
while Baltimore and Ohio inspection
party were in Chicago recently, they looked
over the terminals Of the Wisconsin Cen
trail and made a short trip over the line
known as the Chicago and Northwestern.

During very warm weather the pigs will
suffer if they have no fresh water and

Yorkshire, have very tender skins, and it
will benefit them to give them good WASH

Damp, wet locations for sheep are pro-
motive of foot rot, and damp quarters at
night cause colds. A sheep very quickly
succumbs to disease, and too much care can
not be given the flock in providing dry
quarters, shade aud fresh water.
