Change Railroads Name.

An exchange announces that the name
Chicago, Milwaukee e. st. Paul Rail
way Company and the initials c. NJ. Il
st. P. are to be removed from probably
all rolling stock, property, printed mat
ter, ETC., and the name Chicago, Mil
waukee e. Puget Sound Railway COM
pany will appear on rolling stock, etc.
The change will necessitate the ex-
penditure Of tens of thousands Of dol
lars, but 1t is necessary, as the officials
and stockholders of the railway com
pany which has operated under the
name Of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul Railway Company, which is famil-
iarly known as the st. Paul road, have
decided that the name st. Paul should
no longer appear in the railroad name
at least not in the new exteltion to the
coast.
For several years the paint shops Of
the railroad company have been rushed
with orders to change the name on the
rolling stock from Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul to Chicago, Milwaukee &
Puget Sound. Locomotives, coaches anc
freight cars are being sent out with the
new name Of the road painted on then
in bright colors.

The committee appointed for that
purpose at the late meeting OF the
County Board of Supervisors OF tins
county met at Dodgeville on Friday
last to receive plans and specifications
for a new court house and Jail. But
few plans were offered. The one drawn
by Ernest Weisen, ESQ.,, of this city,
was adopted by the commissioners and
is such an one as we believe will be ac-
ceptable to all interested. If our
Dodgeville friends erect a court house
and Jail in accordance with the plan
adopted, for the sum of ten Thousand
dollars, taking the Dodgeville bonds as
eight thousand of the amount. they
certainly will be entitled to the county
seat.

The Earwio.

There is no insect which has puzzled
naturalists as to it's proper classified
ton more than the earwig. Some have
asserted that it belongs to the beetles.
of which it is an "aberrant type" 9th
ers that it is connected with the grass
hoppers. Even about it's very name
there has been endless discussion
Some have thought the name earwig
is the result of the creatures supposed
habit of getting into the ears. while
others are equally certain that it is
derived from the original name. which
they say was carving. from the fact
that the wing when spread resembles
the human ear. At all events. one
thing is certain-the earwig as we
know it now is survival of an early
type of which almost every other mem,
Der has become extinct.

Singular Services of Sheep.

In the northern part of India sheep
are put to a use unthought Of in Euro
pean or American countries They
are made to serve as beasts of burden
The mountain paths along the foothills
Of the Himalayas are so precipitous
that the sheep. more sure footed than
larger beasts. are preferred as burden
carriers. The load for each sheep is
from sixteen to twenty pounds. The
sheep are driven from village to vii
lage. with Che wool still growing. and
in each town the farmer shears as
much wool as he can sell there and
loads the sheep with the grain which
he receives in exchange. After the
flock has been sheared he turns it
homeward. each sheep having on its
back small bag containing the pu:-
chased grain.
