Illinois Central Wants 1t.

Sioux City journal: An interesting
rumor involving the settlement of the
Sioux City and Pacific's indebtedness
to the government is being repeated
by railroad men who now and then
brush elbows with authority. 1t is
that if the Sioux City and Pacific is
not acquired by the Illinois Central,
but goes to the Chicago and North
western, the Illinois Central certainly
will extend its branch line from Chero.
kee to Onawa, from Onawa to con-
nection with its Fort Dodge and
Omaha line at Loveland, and that later
on the Sioux City and Pacific from
Onawa to Sioux City will be paralleled
The report is especially interesting
in that the Illinois Central has not
been seriously regarded as an aspirant
for the Sioux City and Pacific; it has
been thought that neither the Illinois
Central nor the Great Northern would
attempt to take the road away from
the Northwestern.
Almost everyone interested in the
railroad affairs of Sioux City knows
that an Illinois Central surveying par
ty last year ran two lines from Onawa
to Loveland. The distance is abou,
forty miles. The surveys are along
the Missouri river bottom and the
road could be built at very light cost
From Onawa to Sioux City it would
be built almost alongside the Sioux
City and Pacific

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civ
iiized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of appendicitis, nervous
prostration or heart failure, etc They
used August Flower to clean out the
system aud stop fermentation of un-
digested food, regulate the action of
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action of the system, and that
is all they took when feeling dull and
bad with headaches and other aches.
