PAUIS , Juno 3. [ Now York Herald Cable
Special to TUB HEK. ( M. Houvlor has
addressed to the officials of the finance de
partment a circular that has been the causa
of several controversies In the press. The
minister reminded his subordinates that they
must not bo satisfied with the moro perform
ance of their professional duties , but they
nro bound above and beyond that to use their
influence In the cause of the government ,
nnd assist the prefects by every means In
their power ,
Thcso instructions evidently meant that ,
during the coming olectorlal campaigntreas
urers , general tax collectors , and other offi
cials of iho flnnnco department are oxpcctcd
to do their utmost to procure the return of
candidates favored by the government.
However rnro may bo the elections In
\vhich n certain amount of pressure has not
teen oxorciscd upon the voters by the admin
istration , the spectacle of n minister publicly
giving Instructions of such a formal charac
ter to his subordinates and particu
larly to these whoso functions are for
eign to politics Is , to say tbo least ,
unusual. The government of the "Sixth of
May" furnished an analogous Instance of
Bconaal In its attempt to capture the whole
republican party , by urging the state officials
to throw themselves , heart and soul , into
the olectorlal Btrugglo ; Marshal MacMahon
even Issued a proclamation calculated to enCourage -
Courage the timid among them by guarantee-
big thftt whatever might be the result of the
election they would bo snfo from the vengeance -
goanco of their political opponents. Thcso
efforts' were useless to prevent the reelection
tion of 34 ! ) republicans. Marshal Mac Mahon
was fain to resign shortly afterwards , and
the functionaries who had stood m with him
tvcro rigorously wcedo'l out of government
Offices.
It is probable that the Intervention of the
civil service department at the forthcoming
election would not moot with any bcttr suc
cess , nnd In any case it Is to bo expected that
Us members will endeavor to not expose
themselves to a similar danger.
The opposition has already darkly hinted
Of what may happen In case they obtain a
tnajorlty In October next. Tlio system of
ofllcial candidatures Is so opposed to the spirit
of tha liberal constitution that what was not
practicable under every former government
tras practicable under tha empire , and oven
worked successfully , for civil servants
Were then able to act 03 electorial
Ogents without the risk of being assured of
protection against the consequences of their
fiction by the gevcrnmcnt. Now the case is
Very different. The contest lies between the
diverse republican parties , and the opposi
tion of to-day may become the government
pf to-morrow. Government officials , consequently
quently , fight shy of the risk of compro
mising their careo * by rashly taking sides in
the eloctorial lists.
Lo Soliol contrasts Rouvier's circular
Tflth that issued by Sadl Garnet , in
August 1SS5 , whoa ha was minister
of finance. Carnot's 'express advice
\ oho ofllcials of tbo department was to the
effect that they should stand completely
nsfdo from oloctorial contest , and should not ,
by their attitude , give any reason to suppose
that tha government officials patronized any
one candidate moro than another. That , in
oword , they should observe strict neutrality.
These instructions were diametrically op
posed to these now given by Uouvior , aud it
is difficult to see how the officials of the
llnnnco department will bo nblo to satisfy
both the president of the republic and his
ministry.
Mrs. John A. Logan is now on her way
back to America. SInce last October she has
been traveling through Germany , Austria ,
Italy nnd Franco , accompanied by Miss
Florence Pullman and Miss Harriet Pull
man , daughters of Mr. George M. Pullman ,
bead of the Pullman Palace Car company.
Mr. nnd-Mrs..Pullman , after a stay of flvo
days this side of the Atlantic , sailed for
America last Wednesday , talcing their
youngest claugtcr with them. The elder ,
Miss Florence , will return with Mrs. Logan
tbrco or four \vooks hence.
The population of Calais must be doubled
lor thofetes. Tomorrow's celebration com
mences with President Carnot's arrival , at
0 In the morning and goes without intermls-
Bion far into tlio night. If the weather re
mains as perfect as It has been to-Uny , but
only just a shndo less scorching , nothing
would bo wanting to make the opening of
Calais port one of the events of the season.
Cropti in Dn-wcs County.
CHADKOS , Neb. , June 2.--Speclal [ to TUB
CBH.J All crops in northwest Nebraska nro
looking- grand , and the prospects are
tetter than ever before for an
abundant yield. It has rained twice
n week for the last four weeks
nnd the weather has been worm. The acre
age Is at least four times as much as has
been sown before , and the farmers have
gone extensively into wheat raising. The
experience of the last two years has developed -
oped the fact that northwest Nebraska will
raise wheat of us good quality as Dakota ,
nnd the yleln hist year was beyond the ex
pectations of the most sanguine. Mills have
been erected at all the prominent townn , and
this opens up a ready market for all and lib
eral prices must follow.

Anxious lor News.
PiTTsnnno , Juno 2. The usually quiet
streets of Plttsburpon Sunday were to-day
alive with excited people largely seeking
news from the flood-destroyed Johnstown.
In front of the newspaper bulletins the
crowds were so dense us to almost , entirely
suspend travel. The tclcurnph offices were
thronged with people trying In vain to ro-
colvo somu word from friends or relations In
the stricken city. Early In the morning
seven car loads of provisions loft the union
depot for Johnstown on n special train.
Many cars loaded xvith provisions , etc , are
arriving from points west , north aad south ,
and are being rapidly forwarded to the sccno
of the disaster.
Tlio cofiin manufactories hero are worked
to their fullest capacity nnd colllns nro bolus
shipped rapidly. This morning ton carloads
were sent down , containing 2,200 cofllns.
They will bo distributed ut various points
along the road where the dead have boon
collected. Reports nro coming from a largo
n urn bo r of towns throughout the western
part of thu state , eastern Ohio and West
Virginia of citizens' mass meetings and do
nations In aid of the sufferers.
A dispatch from Stcubenviilo , O. , states
that Mr. Scott Snlltold , with his little son ,
loft that city on Monday for South Fork. It
is feared they perished in the flood. 'Clio
rivers are receding slowly and all apprehen
sion of danger is passed.
Throughout Pittsburg and Allegheny City ,
to-day , the principal halls wore taen ! up with
meetings of various character , among
them being ninny labor organ buttons
of a most liberal feeling was displayed. Con
tributions poured in fast and plenty and
every effort will be made to push relief for
ward as quickly as possible. In all thu
churches in both cities collections wore
taltcu up to-day and largo auras were raised.
At Washington.
WASHINGTON , June 2. A bright , warm sun
shone pleasantly in a clear sky to-day , but
along u good part of the principal business
thoroughfare , Pennsylvania avenue , and in
the adjacent streets to the southward , there
was turbeu , muddy water that washed live
and six feet deep In the sides of houses , fill ,
ing the cellars and basements , and causing
great inconvenience and considerable loss of
property.
Boats plied along the avcnuo nonr the
Pennsylvania railroad station and through
the streets of south Washington all day.
A carp two feet long was caught in the la
dies waiting room at thn Baltimore & Po
tomac station and several others were caught
in the streets by boys. Thcso
fish came from the government
fish pond , the waters of the
Potomac having covered the pond and al
lowed them to escape. Along the river
from the usually ualtn , peaceful Potomac
was a wide roaring turbulent stream of dirty
water rushing madly onward nnd bearing
on its swift moving surface till kinds
of debris. The stream was nearly
twice its normal width and flowed six ieet ,
and more , docp , through tlio streets along
the river front , submerging the wharves and
manufacturing establishments , and lapping
the second stories of the mills , boat houses
and fertilizing works in Georgetown. Fur
ther down the stream It completely flooded
the Potomuo Huts , which thu government
had raised at great expense , to
tha holghth of four and five feet , and inun
dated the abodes of the pnor negro squatters
who had built their frame shanties along
the rfvcr's edgo. The rising of the water
has ecliDsed the high-water mark of 1S77.
The loss will lie enormous. In souio places
It Is millions of dollars , but no reliable llg-
urcs can bo given until the water
BUDsldos nnd allows property owners
to examine their buildings. The city has
been shut aft from communication with the
west and south for two dayt. , and there will
bo a scarcity of milk and other supplies until
the roads are repaired sufficiently to allow
railroad trains nnd wagons to enter the city.
On Louisiana avenue , where the produce
and commission houses nro located , on Sat-
urdny night the water soon invaded the cen
ter of the market , nnu late buyers wore com
pelled to utllUo boats to secure their Sunday
dinners.
At Point of itocks the Potomac overflowed
into the Chesupcalco and Ohio canal , and thu
two became one. It brnlco open thu canal in
many places and lifting the barge.up. . shot
them down stream nt a rapid gait. Trunks
nf trees , immense rafters , small houses and
other debris wore torn from their
places and swept onward. Below
the uoueduct bridge , as far as
Hook creak , the river's bank Is lined with
business places of all descriptions , including
coal duinpii , warehouses fertilizing manu
factories , cement works , boat houses utid
mills. The owners of those places worked
hard to save their property and succeeded tea
a considerable extent , but the waters gained
on them so rapidly that they forced to desist
before they hud accomplished all that they
desired ,
At a o'clock the water began falling. This
will continue , as tlio reports received by the
signal olUca say both tha Shenumloah and
Potomnu were fulling rapidly.
President Harrison did not attend church
to-day but spout the time in communication
with the people In the Jlood-strlckcu districts ,
with a view of gr < iutiii [ ; tlicuraucli succor us
lay in the power of thu government.
General Schofield , nctinj , ' secretary of war ,
canio to the white house , this morning , and
ho and the president repaired to the tulu-
graph room , whore Hi y were put in commu
nication with as many points and ws ninny
persons near the flooded district as possible.
The president offered to extend to thu puoplo
in distress any succor which the government
could trlve. Ho said the Government wduld
supply us many tents nnd ratioiu mict sol
diers to assist in the work of reclamation as
possible. Thu president ami Oon , Scl.ollold
remained near the telegraph instruments re
ceiving nn.d replying to telegrams until noon.
After Innchcon they sp-onl moro tlmo in tele
graphing , and u . 3 o'clock the president went
out driving to view the destruction which the
Hoods of tlio Potomac had wrought.
Thu Kovommcni has about- two thousand
tent * which it can lossd to the sufferers. It
has also under Us control anvcral thousand
touts belonging to the inilitla.and thesd will bo
loaned If needed. The offer of soldiers was
mpuo for the reason that ! t was thought they
might bo useful' In clcurlr.s . away the debris ,
( lurching for the drownsd and In ( juimllng
property.
The NnwH Prom Altonnn.
Pini.Aiisi.vnu , June 2. For the first tlmo
In forty-eight hours communication was had
directly with Altoona this evening at the
Pennsylvania railroad ofllco In this city.
The superintendent ut Altoona says the
Atlantic cxpreii leavl'tg Pittaburc at 3 a. m.
Friday , the Chicago nnd New York limited ,
( onit bound ) which left Pittsbnrg nt 7slO
Friday mornln nnd thu Soushoro express ,
which left Johnstown early Friday mornIng -
Ing , arrived at Altooim Saturday afternoon.
All the pnssoniroM on these throe train * nro
reported to bo well. Altoona sends a list of
passengers on the dny oxprcsi from Chicago ,
which \\os caught In the Hood atConcmaugh ,
who nro known to bo safe. Among them are
William Henry Smith , general manager of
the Associated Press , Chicago , nnd Mr8.
Klla Garner.
'Up to 10 o'clock to-night no names addi
tional to these previously pent have been re
ceived Jioro. The railroad ofltchils stntc they
hnvo Information which leads them to believe
not over seven of the pustcngcrs on the
trains Hooded at Conomaugh , worn drowned.
The first report sent last nlpht plucod the
number of dead at fifteen.
The Pennsylvania road is In practically the
same condition nt yesterday. An or
chil stated to-night that ho did
not bollevo they would bo nblo
to run trains through from Hnr-
rlsburg In less than ten days or two
weeks , Many bridges were gone , nnd In
many places the road bed Is badly washed
out. In some localities , the track.
where 'hot washed uway , is covered
with water to n depth of flvo or
six feet. In addition to this
there are innumerable small landslides and
washouts all along the lino. To put the road
in the same condition It was In before the
flood will bo the work of n year. The merely
temporary repairs will , ixs stated above , take
tou days or two weeks.

LANCASTKU , Pn. , Juno 2. The Susquo-
hnnna at Columbia is still slowly rising. An
enormous quantity of boom logs have gone
down the river nnd are now gorged nt Tur
key Hill below Columbia. At Marietta all
of the front street is under water , and
the Pennsylvania railroad bridge nt
Cbickics is under four feet of water.
The latest advices are to the effect that a
bigger Hood and much higher water may bo
expected to-night.
At Mount Caramel , Pn. , the terrible floods
will cause nn indefinite suspension of the ten
large mines In this valley , omuloying 0,000
hands. Nearly all the pumps are now under
the water , which continues to pour iuto the
mines.
Twcnty-Klvn Drowned.
Suxnunu , Pu. , Juno 9. The city has been
flooded all day. The water reached the top
of the embankments early this morning and
at 7:30 broke In In the Fifth
and Ihird wards. The entire population
was up the whole night , moving to
the second stones. The water reached
the highest point at 8U : ! ) , which was within
eight inches of the flood of 1805. At 12
o'clock it began to recede. All the bridges
are down from hero to Williamsport. Three
men canio down from Williamsport in a boat ,
this afternoon , and reported the loss of twon-
ty-flvo persons at that place , who were
watching the bridge collapse. The loss hero
is very small.
A. Hud Stuto of Affairs.
CARUBLB , Pa. , June 3. Later Information
received from the surrounding country
shows a terrible state of affairs from the
Hoods. The loss will bo over $200,000. At

Illseasu nnd Death
Force the'r ' way into many a household that
might bo protected from their inroads by the
simple precaution of keeping in the house
that benign family medicine nnd safeguard
of health , Hosteller's Slomach Kilters. Par
ticularly where there are children should it
bo kept on hand us a prompt remedy tor in
fantile complaints , in their outset easily con
querable , but which , if allowed to engraft
themselves on the delicate uhildish organism ,
are not easily dislodged , and speedily work
grievous mischief. Irregularity of the bowels ,
Indigestion and biliousness , are ailments of
common occurrence in the household. Chil
dren living in malarious regions ore moro
lia'blo to bo attacked with chills and fever
than adults , and the ravages of that fell dis
ease in their system are speedier and more
serious. In remote localities , far from pro
fessional aid , it is especially desirable.
IOWA NRWH.
Iowa's Railroal Problem.
DBS MOINES , la. , June 2. [ Special to Tun
Bnn.l Governor Larrabeo has started an
other investigation into the working of the
commissioners' rates and the general rail
road situation. Ho has prepared a circular
letter of tpjpstions which he has had sent to
about seven hundred shippers in the stale ,
asking for Ihcir reply. Accompanying was
in each case a slamped envelope dircclod to
himself , so as to stimulate the correspond
ence. The questions which 'ho desired an
swered nro as follows :
1. How do the local freight rates , on the
railroad p.itronizcu by you , compare with
the rates in force two years ago ]
3. Arc the present rates satisfactory to the
shippers of your locality I
9. If they are not satisfactory state In what
respect the present tariff is deemed deficient
or unjust.
4. Has the passenger service in your local
ity deteriorated , and if so , to what oxtontl
5. Are you in favor of state control of rail
roads !
0. What railroad legislation , if any , would
you recommend for the future !
These questions have been sent to shippers
only , so far. Whether the governor will pre
pare a sot of questions to bo sent to farmers ,
asking how the changes tuauo by the com
missioners have affected what thev buy and
sell , is not known. But it is intimated that
lie may , so as to make the result of his in
vestigation as complete and thorough as pos
siblo. The governor has not stated his ob-
| ect In Rending out these questions , but it Is
supposed that ho desires to know the result
of his efforts in securing lower rates , and desires -
sires information to lay before the general
assembly in his biennial address next winter.
Although ho docs not intend to be a camli-
late for re-election , and has positively stated
lhat ho would not accept another term if it
were oficred him , lie very naturally want * to
round nut his present term with some definite
itnteincnt of what h..s been accomplished in
the special line to which ho bus devoted Mini-
self. Some have thought that this investiga-
.Ion presaged an extra session of the legisln-
: uro ; but that Is quito improbable. It will
jot bo long before the legislature would meet
n regular session , and thorn is nothing in
.ho railroad situation to demand additional
cglslation. The recent order of Judgn
ilrowor shows that the commissioners' rates
will bo tested for some time yet , nnd after
hey have been given u fair trial , if found lo
jo unromunerative and unreasonably low ,
.ho court will interfere ; but for the present
.hero Is nothing to bo done , except to go
ahead and see now tilings will como out. The
allroails are accepting the situation grace-
'ully , nnd theshippcra. including iho jobbers
ind manufacturers , are , of course , hanpy at
the low rates they are receiving.
Aliout ItnblcH.
Dua'MoiXKS. la. , Juno 2. [ Special to TUB
Bun. ] The prevalence of hydrophobu in
lomo parts of Iowa has induced the state
joard of health to prepare a valuable circu-
ar on the subject for general reading. U
contains' some very definite information
ibout rubles which ought to bo generally
mown , and if known , would enable iho pub
lo 10 lake proper precautions against t'.io clis-
- aso. Tlio bulletin notes three sUei of tbo
Jiseaao. Firnt , the melancholy ; second , the
rritative , maniacal or furious ; third , the
Kiraljtlo. In thn first stage , the animal be-
Mines uneasy , sullen , restless , constantly
moves about , shows no disposition to bite ,
iut Is unusually affectionate. Has u ten-
ioncy to lick cold objects as iron or stone ,
A * the disease progresses it scatters and
.umules about Its bed , and gous snuffing
around corners. Has little uppolit * . but
| W > ilowsaU ) saris of iadlucslllile Bluff Ilka
itnw , earth , leather , ate. This stage lasts
from half u a ay to two or throe daya.
Ill the second Binge thoru Is u refusal to
3jt uta , ! ) ; a propensity to bite , a marked
BbaiiKO.In the volco and a dcsiro to stray off.
If routined , the dog with the rabies will
itrugifla to uot free , will bite the chain. It
will gazp Into space unu ut persona with a
eucant Hiuro , Will ait aa if listening for
iouio object , while looking iuto pace , and
will then suddenly tpring forward as U to
blto. The voice of Us waster will reuse 1
from Us dolunlon and It will dhow signs o
affection. This Is ft dangerous symptom , foi
the nnitnnl might then bo given Its freedom
when about to bo most violently mad. Then
Is no dlsllko of water In this stage , but tin
dog will drink water freely and often plungi
Its head lu water. It has lucid Intervals it
this stage , which are very likely to decelvi
its owner , who ought to keep It securely
locked up , ns In Its paroxysms it Is liable U
break very strong chains. This stage maj
last three or four d.tys.
The third stage develops the ferocious In
stlncli. The face shows unmistakable
llorcencss and terror. At sight of any per
son it will spring forward and attempt U
blto , oven If confined. But if nt largo it wll
snap nt anything , even at rod hot Iron
vccinlngly insensible to pntti. Pouring walei
throws It Inio violent paroxysms. Thc.so nn
followed by lassitude and general pnrnlysU
till the animal creeps oft middles. The bul
letin expressly urges that dogs suspected ol
madness should bo confined for ton days tc
see whether the cuso Is really hydrophobia ,
instead of shooting the dog at once , as Is sc
ofti-n dono.
Jtonnlillcnn Ktnto Cetitrnl Committee ,
Hits MOI.VBS , la. , Juno ! ! . ( Special to Tnn
Br.n.J Chairman Uoardsloy has called n
meeting of the republican stnto central com-
inltluo , In this city , Juno 1'J. The purpose ol
the mooting is to fix u Unto for the stnto con
vention. General sentiment seems to fnvoi
n convention nbout the llrst or second wcoli
in August. The usual tlmo nt which the re
publican convention has been hold the last
week In August would this year Interfere
with the Grand Army encampment , nt Mil
waukee , which moots at that time. A great
many Iowa republicans nro Grand Army
men who expect to go to the encampment ,
and as they usually expect to visit along the
way going and comin ? , the few days Just before
fore and Just after the encampment would
also bo monopolized , nml therefore not suit
able for the convention. The convention
Ihla year starts an important campaign tot
Iowa. It will have to nominate n governor ,
lieutenant-governor , Judge of the supreme
court and superintendent of public Instruc
tion. There will nave to bo elected this full
one-half of thu stnto senate and nil of the
lower house. The legislature , which mepts
next January , will have to elect a United
States senator to succeed Senator Allison ,
whoso term oxpiros. However , that will bean
an easy matter , ns no othur man la consid
ered for the succession than the senator him
self.
Tlio Itace for Governor.
DKS MOIST.S , la. , Juno 2. [ Special Tele
gram to Tnr. HUE. ] The contest for gov
ernor is warming gradually , though it is not
as spirited as it has been some years. The
friends of Senator Hutchluson claim that ho
has been training ground In the last few
weeks , while Captain Hill's friends think
they have strength enough to nominate him
already , and are gaining each day. The
friends of Mr. Wheeler , the candidate of
northweslorn Iowa , are moro noisy lhaii the
others , and say that If tbo convention wore
held to-uiorrow ho would bo nominated. It.
is rumored that ox-Governor Sherman in
tends to bo a candidate for governor. The
rumor seems quite improbable , as it has been
supposed that ho had no desire to ro-enter
puolic life. If Iriic , his candidacy may
affect tin ) situation as regards others some
what. There will probably bo no opposition
lo the nomination of Chief Jnstico Given for
judge of the supreme court , ami to the ru-
nomiuatlon ot Superintendent Subin. The
latter has had but one term , and has done
well in olllco. Judge Given was appointed
to till the balance of Judge Heed's uucx-
pired term , and will have served but u few
months when the convention meets , liut ho
is so admirably qualified for the onice , and
has made so line a record in the few weeks
ho has been there , and is so popular through
out the state , and cainoso near to u Humi
liation last summer , that ho will undoubt
edly bo nominated by acclamation to suc
ceed himself.
A Romantic Mnrriu o in Prospect.
FORT DODO.B , la. , Jt ne 3. [ Special to THE
BEE. ] A marriage under most romatitio
circumstances will bo celebrated in the First
M. B. church of Storm Lake on July 4
unless the present ulans of the contracting
parties are altered. It will be the crowning
event in the checkered career of ono of the
successful revivalists of the northwest. Just
three years ace C. W. Hiltz , a slningely-clad
young man of about twenty-live years , ar
rived in Storm Lake from the wobt. Ho
were a shabby suit of clothes , Jong shabby
hair , a questionable countenance , and a
broad brimmed , dilapidated hat , around the
crown of which was inscribed the words :
"Noiionr's DAUI.IXO. "
The fellow WAS something of a character
and told a strange story.
Ho had wandered aimlessly for a number
of years from his home iji Baltimore west
ward to the cattle ranches in the territories.
The day dream of his youth to own cattle
browsing on a thousand hills vanished into
thin air. The lie contented himself as a
simple employe nf ono of the cattle baron ;
ono of whom he fondly hoped he would bo
himself. For a time he found comfort in
the life of ft cowboy , but tiring of this ho
again turned his course toward his old uusl-
srn home. Arriving at Storm Lnko in thu
fpring , without money ho secured work on a
earin Here ho became conspicuous for his
go'icral toughness of character. Thu follow
ing Juno a series of i-nligious meetings
were being conducted by the Methodists
a t Elm j'orlc. Ho atteirlod a number of ser
vices from idle curioiity , becani'3 intprcnt-d ,
and on the Fourth of July was converted.
He at once renounced his other work and
took up the labor of the RUapcl. In tlio pul
pit his ronirh style , which clung to him
made him an immediate success , nnd thu
"Cowboy Hovivalist" wasmi'ch sought after.
Ho made n tour of the principal cities of Da
kota , and wont them-o to St. Paul and Min
neapolis , where he remained in continuous
work about elijht months , attracting much
attention uml roclaiiiiing many sinners. Ho
recently returned to rilorin Laho a greatly
changed man. His old tinthabilimontn were
replaced with an intellectual smile and good
clothes. Few of h's ' old acquaintances
recognized him. ' Ho sought a number
of his most intimate friends , and
after relating sonm of his experience ,
announced his iiU--ntion of gelling married ,
prodiii'iiig a photograph of his affianced wife ,
lie says in his work , much of which will bo
conducted in country places , hereafter , ho
ireatly roalb.ud the necessity of music , and
lie told thu Lord if Ho rxpcctcd him to
preach Ho must furnish him with n com-
Miiion to sinr ; rind play the organ. Tlio
Lord has onswiircii his prayer. The young
uily lives in Minneapolis , nnd is thoroughly
nterusted in the cause , The wedding Is set
for the 4th of next July , tlio anniversary of
ills cniiversion- The ceremony will take
ihiro in .Storm Lake , fturrounded by the
tcunes ofln 'now life , when ono of the
tiandsnme nnd accomplished young ladles of
Minneapolis will become Mrs , Hov. U. W.

was called to order at 1 o'clock with Loren
Clark , of Albion , chalruiun , and J. M. Dyer ,
of North Platte , secretary. The suislon
lasted until 10 o'clock in the ovenlng , nnd
was harmonious and onthutiiistlc.
A number of plans and routes wore sug
gested and discussed , aud it was finally d J-
cidod that the proposed road should start ut
Albion , thence through the counties of
lioonc , Greeluy , Valley , Sherman , Cmtar
and Lincoln to North Platte ; thence

A eoinmiUeo w.xs appointed to secure a

ItcproAcnlnlivcs from the different coun
ties along the proposed line of the new Mis
souri Uiver , North Platte & Denver rail
road , just , incorporated , have given full as
surances that their counties would vote
bonds on u liberal scale to aid in the con
struction of the road , and U is certain that
It is to bo somnthlug moro than a "paper
road. " It Iris gene too far for that , and its
projectors nnd supporters are also stock
holders . There is not a drone nor a wrecker .
connected with it ; they are property holders
along the line of the road , and Know that
the resources of the country will support tbo
road and pay the interest on its bonds from
the very start , and at tha feaiua tlmo the
property will appreciate.
As evidence that others hnvo faith in
the now road , Hon. William A. Paxton , cap
italist , of Omaha , put his name down last
week for ? r o.OOO , ahd another in the western
part of the btalo has said that ho will take as
much or more.
In this connection it Is Interesting to notlca
that now that a start has been made and a
road assured through this section of the
country , other roads and projected roads are
waking up to the fact that an inviting terri
tory is lyinir before them for occupation.
