Waterloo, Jan. 5.-sAlthough the fine
railroad facilities of Waterloo already
give access TO a splendid field Of opera
tions for our Wholesalers and manufac-
turers, the enterprising men at the
head of these business houses have
been ..sighing for more worlds to con
quer'' and have especially desired a
connection with the great Northwest
ern system. by means of which a great
territory in Iowa, Minnesota and the
Dakotas would be opened UP to them.
There is a rumor, or it may be some
thing more than rumor, that such a
connection is likely to be realized in the
near future
The building of new road by the
C. & N w from Belle Plaine to Blue
Earth, MINI, has brought that system
into Blackhawk6 county and about tif-
teen miles from Waterloo. The great
advantage and benefits which a con-
nection would insure both to the rail-
road and TO the people of this city
would seem to make it improbable that
this small gap between them should
long be permitted to remain and al
ready it is reported that parties are
| preparing 10 build the short line of roat
| that is needed 10 close 1t up.
A gentleman whose name is neces-
sarily withheld for the present, is re-
| sponsble for the statement that CAPT
talists in another state stand ready e
build the road il the people along tbs
route who Will derive the creates
benefits will secure the right of way
The proposed spur would connect Will
the c. & n. w. road now building
point where it crosses the Tama ant
Blackhawk line, running thence north
east through Lincoln. Eagle ant
| Orange townships to Waterloo.
1t is probable that the road woult
enter Waterloo near the south end o
Bluff street and then parallel the lin
! of the b., C. r.. & N. up that street t
a point near West Sixth, where n
connection could be conveniently mad
with both the road named and the c

fall. and at that time had a narrow es-
cape from death with an attack similar
to that of last evening. The FAMILY have

End ofa Noted Case.

Des Moines. Jan. 6.-The original
Judgment of $500 in favor of the
American Book Company against the
Kingdom Publishing Company, of Min
neapolis. under a verdict for libel OBJ
tanned before the United States circuit
court of Minneapolis, is now affirmed
by the uncontested dismissal of the
appeal which had been taken by the
defendants to the circuit court Of APP
peals, now sitting at st. Louis.
The course of this case again Illus
trates the necessity of a reform in the
practice of refusing to protect the in
jured party by injunction against an
evident libel which works continuing
injury against the business Of COM
plainant. The English law upon which
our own is founded has long ago been
modified in this respect
