I'aul by way of Hastings. -lust keep your eyes on that Freeporl, Dodgeville Northern. It will make one of tho best lines in the west in time. The luis always contended that it was the intention of the incorporators of tho road to extend the line to St. Paul and it has never had any reason to change its mind.

Tho following from an exchange, has a wide application: "Our people may sit and twirl their thumbs and grumble, but until our own commence locating manufactories here they cannot expect outsiders to be very anxious to start in. In booming towns, local capital is at the head of the work. Some of our who are sitting around with hundreds of dollars in the bank could make an investment payine twenty per cent, if they would start some enterprise. 1 TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS. Mr Chas.

If tho milk is pure a drop will hang to the needle, but the addition of even a small portion of water will prevent tho adherence of tho drop.

Tho Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul Company has issued'a bulletin forbid- ing tho appointment of brakomon under 21 years of ago. This was probably caused by the death of a young man by tho name of William Shea, on tho Southern Minnesota division, while engaged in his duties as a brakeman. His parents will bring suit for heavy damages. If this rule is rigidly enforced it will throw a number of Freeport boys out of situations.

Last Saturday Mr. S. II. Williams, of Boloit, went out hunting and was overcome by tho cold and was unable to get homo. His lifeless body was found lying in a ditch two miles from Beloit by a farmer, Monday, who was unable to examine the body closely, as it was guarded by the dead man's hunting dog.

The faithful animal never left its master's side and sat there for two days and two nights through all the cold. When parties from Ueloit wont after the body, the dog attempted to tear them to pieces. Yesterday afternoon the Central depot was packed with people waiting i'ot the trains, and quite a number had to stand on the platform.

The Minneapolis Tribune has the following: That company already has a branch road running north from just across the line of Illinois to Dodgeville, and it has boon a question why this line should run to Dodgevillo, whou it has 0110 already running almost parallel to Madison. About two weeks ago a prominent railroad surveyor from Red Wing with a gang of men surveyed the ground west of Hastings, presumably for some railroad purpose. It is thought that it is the intention of the roaii to finish the rather abrupt terminus of their line at Dodgeville, by running through to St. 1'aul by way of Hastings. Two years ago these same Red Wing parties were in West St.

Paul, surveying the Hats and toward Hastings, and it was then said by men knowing some of the inner workings of the Illinois Central that before a long time had elapsed, that same road would have its line running direct to St. Paul.

AN ELOQUENT PLEA, msnoi'nowjiAN ADVANCKS CON VINO AHOUMKNTS AT Till! SAMSM LAST NIGHT, WHV SINNERS SHOl.TI.U COJIK TO Oil RtlC- OK8SKUI, UK VIVA Bishop Bowman, of Allentown, arrived in the city yesterday afternoon and departed tq-day for Davis. While in the city he was the guest of Presiding Elder Wm.

Iluelster and Rev. Win. Caton. of tho Salem Evangelical Church. Bishop Bowman resembles Bishop Dubs in size and appearance.

Ileisa tall powerfully built man with a military bearing. lie is about fifty years of age and is fine looking. His countenance always bears a pleasant smile and he is one of the most approachable of men. Hev. Mr.

Caton is conducting revival services at his church and last evening the Bishop spoke to the congregation assembled. The church was well tilled with people. The Bishop did not deliver a regular sermon; he addressed his remarks more to the work in hand, lie laid down some very convincing arguments why people should come to Christ. He is a very pleasant speaker, and his words carry great weight. Ho startedOout by saying that he simply wanted to tell the old story over again of Jesus dying that we might be saved.

lie; hoped it would interest his hearers' minds and charm their hearts. Our gospel is a raay not only bo heard but may be known. Those who know it aro very happy people; it proclaims and offers, without money or price, on easy terms, pardon for all our sins. The whole world is guilty of sin and it needed no proof from the speaker to prove the statement. Man is guilty of sin in the of heaven and no ono would venture in tho presence) of God and proclaim that they never committed sin.

Our sin will surely find us out. Sooner or later punishment for transgression will overtake us. There is a difference of opinion among various creeds as to the modes of punishment for they all believe sin will be punished. If we sin against an earthly father we aro punished, and do you think wo can sin against our Heavenly Father with impunity? The Christian religion is tho only safe one, and the question ia what shall I do to be saved. The Christian bus an answer for that wail; Christ died that we might be saved, and if we only go to will save us.

The speaker gave many illustrations of men being saved from death, but said they were nothing compared to a being saved from sin. How often has the sinner resolved to be free; but the resolve was only made to be broken. It has been said that knowledge is power, and so it is to a certain extent; it has accomplished many grand things, but has never yet been able to teach sin out of the soul, of tho human heart, There is One and only Ouo who can do all this and release tho captives of sin from their is strong to deliver and mighty to trust in the Lord. These ministers are here tonight in tho service of Christ to tell you that you may bo free from the shackles of sin if you will only accept of Him. How should the stains that sin has made on the hearts of men be washed away.

We might wash sovon times in tlio river Jordan, but that would not cleanse us. But wash in tho blood of the Lauiband you shall bo cleansed from all impurities. This is tho remedy the Christian has to offer, and the only one. Our gospel is a joyful sound, because in proclaims immortality to the dying soul. Our friends are dying day by day.

What comfort could we have if we did not know that wo should meet them again iu immortal glory. When a fond and loving mother'stands weeping by the side of her departed child, and you close the Holy Book, how are you going to console that mother for her loss? When the aged wife stands over the grave of her departed husband and companion through life, would tho skeptic snatch from her the blessed thought that it is only for a short time and they will be united again on that beautiful shore where sorrow and death and parting never come? It was hard for the mothers of our land to have their sons go down on tho battle Held, but they were consoled by knowing that they died for their country, and that they would meet again in heaven. Would the skeptic snatch this undeniable belief from the hearts of thous ands of Christian mothers? Not so the Christian. Ho opens the Bible and says: "Mother, look child has but gone before. Over the dark river you can see tho beautiful gates ajar, and your child is beckoning to you." Oh! what a blessed comfort it is as wo stand over the grave of a loved one, to know that only its body is resting there, arid that its immortal soul is with Jesus, and that if we are true and faithful in this life, we too may sit at His right hand and dwell in His house forever.

It is a blessed thing to know that from Greenland's icy mountains to India's coral strand, there is not a sinner rejected but by his own free will. Tho gospel is free to all be they rich or poor. Men in the lowest depths of sin are as welcome to the grace of God as ono who has never sinned. Glad praises go up iu Heaven when a sinner is snatched from the damned and brought home to the fold. There is nothing to hide iu our religion is open to can investigate, and it would be a good thing for the skeptic if ho would investigate more and talk less.

In closing, the speaker said that the religion of Jesus Christ was free and he could only invite all to come and try it. Do not bo too proud to humble yourself before tho altar of ono who is proud has good sense, for we have nothing to be proud of. Say I am the Lord's and the Lord is 1 The Bishop made a powerful plea that all should seek God and be converted from a sinner to a Christian. After he had tinished speaking, ho went to work among the congregation and is a good evangelist. The meeting was a very successful one and quite a number went forward to the altar.

Brown Seise of a te dollar overcoat on Monday afternoon but fortunately did not succeed iu get ing away with his "boodle." A shoi time before four o'clock a man was ob served in front of the store closely ex amining an overcoat, which was" dis played in front of the store.
