DENIES THE RUMOR,
The Cedar Rapids Road Will
NOT Form Link with the
Black Hills Line.

he5following item from Saturdays
Sioux City journal may be of inter-
est to those of our readers who are
keeping tab on railroad building in
this vicinity: G. J. Ives, president
OF thessBurlington, Cedar Rapids and
Northern road, gives emphatic denial
to the reports that his road is con.
templating an extension to the Black
Hills. He said twas likely the Co.
dar Rapids road would do some
building in South Dakota and Minne-
sofa this year, but that there would
be none that ever;could form a link
n Black Hills line. He admitted
that the road had surveying parties
out in Minnesota and South Dakota.
1t is well..known fact that the c.
dar Rapids road has, had surveyors
running line from: Albert Lea to
Minneapolis. aud the probability is
that TINS will be one of the first pieces
OF building that will be begun by the
B. &: X; & N. This road also has
been running line from Jasper,
Mimi, where the Cedar Rapids line
connects with the Great Northern, to
Dell Kapids, S. D., distance of fif-
teen miles.

FAR1RAULT, Mlnn., feD. I, 1SOU.
Worthington Daily Advance:
A copy of the A dvance came to
hand this p. M, and the record with
in of the death of Mrs. r. r. Smith
was a great shock to her many
friends here in Faribault. While Mr..
Smith and family lived here n Fari-
bault, they formed attachments and
friendships that were lasting. It was
with regret on our part to see them
20 elsewhere to live. Mrs. Smiths
very efficient work here in church
circles gained for her reputation
that very few have attained, and the
seed sowing of her loving hands is
still bringing forth its fruit and we
believe that she won't to her Master
bearing many sheaves with her. Her
many friends here are indeed in SYM
pathy with her husband and child
rem, and while they monrn the loes
OF good wife and mother, we feel
that from us mas gone out a life of
usefulness.
We trust that the Master will en-
able US to say, "Thy will be DONE"

The GOOD SAMARITAN was an admirable
character. He ministered to the sick, which
was we'll. His sympathies we're broad be-
cause he was in good health himself, and there
fore prepared to make the most of opportun-
ities People whose sole capital is good health,
should maintain their credit Get health and
retain it" said Emerson. A sound mind in
sound body is a force ever ready to perform,
for self and for others. This adds to the sum
of human happiness
But what of those not blessed with health?
To them the Emersonian advice the more
applies: They have it within their reach to
make a start towards health and exhibit the
proofs upon their own persons, at no expense
whatever for the trial. The Special Repre-
sentative of the World Manufacturing Co.,
Cincinnati, Ohio will be glad to afford free
trial of their Hot-Air Bath Cabinet, in their
own homes, to all who will apply to him in
person. A single trial will insure sound
nights sleep to the sufferer from Rheumatism,
Iagrippe, Nervous Prostration Kidney Trou-
bles, or 4 ny of the ills resulting from impur-
tiles in the blood. No medicine, no drugs;
and no one, i'll or we'll, will be refused trial.

Up to Standard.

The Worthington Milling company

ent flour to A. W. Howard, Flour In.
spector. Minneapolis. and received a
very gratifying report. In addition
to other points of merit the report
reads, the -four requires Is Is OF Of
water extra IN mixing, and "fully up
to standard" The amount of water
used in mixing is an essential one
and the more required to bt' used the
better.
The quality of -four turned out by
the Mill company is familiar to all
residents of this part of the county
and needs no commendation, but
this test shows to those living where
they get other -four, that the -four
manufactured in Worthington is
equal to the best made. The CON-
puny have been aware of tue quality
all along. but this test is scientific
eyidt nee that the -four is fully equal
to all claimed for it.

The New Presbyterian Church
and DR.. Wills.

The new Presbyterian Church is
almost ready for occupancy. It is
expected that Rev. J. F. Wills, D. D.,
successful evangelist from New
York City, will arrive in Worthing-
ton and begin series of special evan
gelistic services in the new Psesby-
terian Church on February 25th. If
the main auditorium is not completed
this date, these service will begin in
Sabbath school room. It is impossi-
ble to announce at present just when
the main auditorium will be complet-
ed and entirely ready for the dedica-
tion services but it is hoped that this
will be very soon.
DIR. Wills will speak three times on
Sunday, February 18th; at the morn
ing service; in the afternoon to the
young people and at night he will
conduct an evangeli>tic service.
These meetings will be held every
evening for three weeks.
DIR. Wills comes to us from a series
OF meeting in Brooklyn and New York.
He is we'll known in the East. He is
highly commended by the Evangel-
istic Union and specially by DR.. J.
Wilbur Chapman.
DIR. Wills is man of great power
in the pulpit. His preaching is SIM
pie, direct, strong, carrying to the
heart of his hearers deep conviction
of the things of God.
A large chorus choir is being FORM
ed and will be trained under the d.
rection of James Mackay for partici.
patton in these services.
