4 railroad report is current that
the Milwaukee company will secure
control of the Great Northern branch
from Watertown to Huron. Should
the Milwaukee extend this road a
few miles to Woonsocket it would
give Huron connection to the south
and west over the Milwaukee lines,
and in all probability these complete
railroad facilities would make Huron
stronger for capital fight two
years hence.

CaterpiIlars and Eye Diseases.

1t will come as surprise to many of
our readers that caterpillars are respon-
sible for an affection Of the eyes which
may entail prolonged suffering and even
result in serious damage to vision. That
such is the case has been abuAdantly
proved by q number Of instances on rec
ord in which more or less intractable
inflammation of the eyes has beer found
to be associated with the presence OF
hairs which, after removal, have been
identified as belonging to the genus
caterpillar. At meeting Of the Oph-
archaeological society case was related
in which lad was struck in the eye by
caterpillar thrown at him by playful
schoolfellow. He picked up the insect
to examine it, and the hand which
seized it became, red and developed
papules and other indications Of local
irritation. A day or two later the eye
became the seat Of what proved to be
very troublesome Inflammation, associ-
ated with the presence Of rounded ele-
vations due to an accumulation of cells
around the imbedded hairs, which were
subsequently discovered and removed

"Does deer challenger" In the Lake

One of the things noted in cam

the Pettigrew-Lee combination in
this state caught most of the thresh-

fact was their pet measure in the leg

we all came to town to here the graf

that he wuz the man of S. d., but
now we here he is a sneak, deyil, Ju-
das, liar etc. We also herd Petit

we did, and O! my: Lately We see he
haz put his rival to bed, and match

haz ben fire. Now we are asked to
look at Kyle's smoke and we waite
anxshisly fur the blaze. We wus all
so sorry that they voted to du away

would like to keep it in the Co. We
almost think we vii vote the repub-

How full the world is Of grumblersi !
Many Of the same people who scold in
summer because IL IS warm scold the
next winter because it is cold. There is
no point between zero and the nineties
that suits them. Whether the gray
clouds yield rain or snow makes no mat
ter. Neither is wanted. If skies are
clear, somebody's cistern needs rain. If
the showers descend, somebody's feath-
ers are ruined. 1t would add much to
our happiness and detract much from
the fatal tendency to grow old if we
would strive after contentment and cease
worrying over the inevitable. The
truly happy are the happy go lucky,
who take everything as it comes and
make the best of 1t.
If it rains, all that is left 20 do is to
put up our umbrella, if we are so fortu-
nate as to have one, and trudge along.
Wet feet end bedraggled skirts won't
kill one any moro than poverty and
drudgery will, il there is something
within us too sunshiny for poverty to
cloud and too noble for drudgery to de-
base. The person who spends his life
scolding because things don't go to suit
him is like the fly on the kings chariot
wheel. Things may not be planned ex-
actly for the comfort Of the fly, but his
protest will never stop the procession.
The best tactics for flies and grumblers
to pursue is to take what comes along
and be glad it is 10 worse. Chicago

named Kate Ford was killed while
walking upon the railroad tracks near
Waterloo Station, in Alexandra

of the Chesapeake & Ohio Rail
way Company. A suit was instituted
by her administrator to recover dam
ages against the Chesapeake & Ohio

ton Southern Railway Company grow
ing out of the said accident. The
case has been on trial for the last two
days in the Circuit Court of Alexandria
county, before Judge G. E. Nicol,
and was concluded yesterday after
noon. The railroad companies demur-
red to the evidence adduced and the
jury retired and rendered a verdict in
favor of the plaintiff for $1,000, subject
to the decision of the court upon the
demurrer. The court sustained the de-
murrer to the evidence and entered up
judgment in favor of the defendant
railroad companies. An appeal was
taken. Messrs. Edmund Burke and
Louis c. Barley represented the plain
tiff, Gen. William H. Payne and Messrs-
Eppa Hunton, jr., and Leonard Mar
