THE ELDOE RAILROAD.
The General Offices to be Opened at
Ottumwa, Iowa,

The ottumwa Qowal Courier, re-
ferring to the Etdon railroad, in which
Audrain county people are interested,
says.
General offices for the Eldon and st.
Louis railroad company will be opened
In this city In about two weeks, and
active work will be begun, preparing
for the construction Of this end of the
road as soon as the spring opens up.
A proposition win then be made to the
city Of Ottumwa for the general off,
ces Of the company tobe permanently
located here. 1t is announced that
arrangements have already been COM
pleted with a well known Wall street
firm to furnish money for the building
Of the road ,and that there is no doubt
but that work will begin early in the
spring.
HoUGHLAND IN CHARGE.
j. e. Houghland, Of Eldon, secre-
tary Of the company, will have charge
the local Office, and will conduct the
negotiations for the entering Of the
road into this city.
GOOD NEWS TO oTrUMwA.
The announcement that the Eldon
g. st. Louis railroad would build into
Ottumwa will be received with much
pleasure by the citizens of this city.
Also the announcement that arrange
ments had been completed for the
money with which to build the road.
If Ottumwa can land the general
Offices of the company, and make this
city its headquarters it will be a great
thing for the city.
PART OF ROAD READY.
The Eldon & st. Louis road already
has line which it will use from st.
Louis TO Union, NO., a distance OF
about 100 miles, and the bonds, which
the company arranged for will be for
the purpose Of building the line from
Ottumwa to Union. The proposed
route has already been surveyed, and
all that remains TO be done is the
actual work OF building the road. The
project has received much encourage
ment through the country which IL
proposes to traverse, as 1t covers ter
ritory through which there is practl-
cally no railroad connection, and there
appears TO be a brilliant prospect for
the railroad, when IL is completed.

WHERE MARRIAGE IS LOTTERY
The Chinese Girl Knows Nothing of
Her Husband Until She is
Welded to Him.
Paloa BAKING POWDER Co.,
CHICAGO.

Marriage is truly a lottery to the
Chinese girl, for she knows not what
she is getting until she is actually
married." writes Sui Sin Far, in the
LADIES' Home Journal for January.
Sometimes 1t is a kind, good hus-
band, an amiable mother-in-law, and
much comfort; sometimes it is a
tyrant, a mother-in-law who is eter-
nally scolding, and a life that is
weariness to both flesh and spirit. The
ceremonies of betrothal and marriage
cause much trouble and anxiety. The
young mans family begin the negoti-
atlons. They engage go-between to
call on the girls family and tender a
proposal of marriage. If the young
man is considered eligible by the girls
parents they consult fortune teller,
who decides whether the betrothal
would be proper. II his decision is
favorable the go-between Is given a
card on which is marked the hour, day,
month and year when the girl was
born. This is delivered to the young
mans family, who in their turn con-
suit a fortune teller. II he also pro-
nounces favorably a festival is held by
both families, the betrothal contract
Is signed, and the bridegroom makes
the bride a present Of a pair Of bracelets
but neither he or she is present. The
betrothal, however, is not considered
binding until a pasteboard card has
been interchanged by the families.
The bridegroom's family provide two
Of these cards, one having a gilt dragon
on its face, the other a gilt phoenix.
The phoenix card is retained by the
young mans family as evidence of his
engagement, while the dragon card is
kept by the girls family. The betro-
thai is then complete"
