Tlie ADVANCE stated last Thursday that a gigantic effort to sell tlie rail road lands was now to be made and that mammoth advertisements were soon to appear in the leading papers. On Saturday a half page advertisement signed "J. If. Drake, Land Commis sioner, St. Paul," and "Hon. C. II. Smith. Field Agent, Worthington," appeared in the Pioneer-Press offering 700,0)0 acrcs at $4 to $8 per acre. The lands are described as follows:— "Gently rolling prairie, deep, rich, fri able loam, numerous spring water lakes, streams and rivers, competing lines of railway, schools, churches and thriving Tillages. Unexcelled in beauty. No malaria. Unsurpassed in fertility. Pure water." JThis description is all correct so far as the lands in Nobles county are concerned. We are informed by parties who know that tlie Close Bros, have pur chased the railroad lands in tlie west tier of townships in this county and not in the two western tiers as hereto fore rumored. Tliey already, however, own considerable iand in the south part of the county, including the town site of lligelow, and will doubtless take much more land in other parts of the county. This is good news, for Close Bros, do not buy lands without im proving them. It will be seen also from tlie reports of land sales in the ADVANCE during the pa.st few weeks that P. Shell & Co. are making sales of railroad hind. M'lil'l TXG US UP. Tlio Pioneer-Press seems to be mak ing an effort to recover lost ground in Southwestern Minnesota. We see a (statement in a neighboring paper that tlie P.-P. has lost one thousand subscribers in this part of the State. There is no dwubfc that the people generally in Southwestern Minnesota have considerable feeling against St. Paul and Minneapolis, not only against the newspapers but against the busi ness men as well. v. ur people claim that the press of those cities has neg lected Southern Minnesota to boom the Northern Pacific country and that both cities have turned eyery emigrant and land seeker they could catch away from us and sent them up north. But they are beginning to make some amends. A Pioneer-Press reporter lias been here and writes back tlie import ant item of news that— The land department- of the Burling ton. C.dar li i& Northern road is making a special eri'ort to dispose of the fi'imnuiiyV Ijirsre landed interests in Nobles aid adjoining counties. Tlie railroads own larcje tracts of land in this section, which have not heretofore IMM'H open for set lctnent. An excur sion from ihirii!t£ion. Inwa. and other points, is advertised tor 11th, in order to give an opportunity to look at t'ie advantages niiVred by this section. It is the general impression that more unimproved land will be disposer, of this year than duriMg any single year sine? the comity's settlement. The B. C. II. & N. has just 24 acres ill this county, bought last fall for de pot and track purposes. We are sorry to hear that they propose selling it, for we hoped thev would lild a depot when the road was extended. The correspondent further says: The Adrian Advance is authority for the statement thai tho Close Brothers have purchased ail the railroad lands in this (Nobles) and ltock counties, aiul will immediately place them upon the market and open them to settlers. In addition to this, they propose, if the lands are not sold, to place tenants upon •very section, break the land .and pro ceed to improve it. If this be true, it will give an immense boom to these counties. Sorry we missed the item from the Adrian Advance, but we do not exchange with it. It is probably a Democratic paper started recently. There is an African in tlie fence some where. This new paper at Adrian is si scheme to get the county-seat away from us. AIL It OA NJU WS. TOE DUUUQUE & NORTHWESTERN. ADVANCE readers are aware that we hever claimed the Ihibuquo & North western as a road likely to strike Wor thington. What we have always claim ed and still claim is that Iowa roads coming to Spirit Lake and bearing northwest will have to come to us. The ADVANCE is not claiming any road which is not bearing in this direc tion and which will not probably be built. We have seen no reason to claim the Dubuque & Northwestern and there fore have not claimed it. E. P. Greeley, of the Executive Committee at Nashua, Iowa, recently issued a circular giving the following as the route: Tho Dnbuque and Northwestern R. K. Co., from the City of Dubuque to Vismarck, Dakota, via: Greely, Oelwein, Tripoli, Nashua Marble Hock, Rockwell* Clear Lake, Forest City, Elmore, Fairmont, But terHeld, Charlestown and Milbank. A glance at the map will show that the towns named are in a line bearing northwest to Bismarck. Elmore is near the Iowa line and a line from there northwest toward Bismarck would strike Fairmont, ButtciTiekl and Charlestown. Butterfield is in Waton won county and is the point where the road w.ould cross our Omaha line Charleston is in Bed wood county and is the point where the new road would cross the Winona & St. Peter or Northwestern. Unless this route is totally changed, the Dubuque & Northwestern will not comc within 50 to 75 miles of us. BOSTON ITLIOODS. Mr. C. S. Iloliis, Veterinary Surgeon, Boston, Mass., certifies that he has made the great pain-cure. St. Jacob's Oil, the sole remedy in his practice for liorse ailments, and considers it supe rior to any cure he has known in 40yrs. He tried the same great pain-banisher •n himself for rheumatism nnd'*by trbich he was completely cured. VOL. XI. AN IMPOTENT CURSE. EDITOR ADVANCE:—I notice (by reading the papers) that the Catholics and ether denominations are becoming very much roiled in their minds on ac count of such great numbers of their members becoming convinced of the reality of spirit manifestations. The N. Y. Times says: "200 members of the Catholic church have suddenly de veloped into Spiritualists at Ciuciu nati." "The bishop of Bohemia has become so much alarmed at the rapid spread of Spiritualism in that country, that he has declared anyone professing belief in tlie Spiritualistic doctrine to be guilty of heresy."—N. Y. Sun. The news of what is being accom plished by Spiritualism has reached the ears of the Pope and he has shown what a wicked, malicious spirit he is of by issuing the worst curse that ever parted the lips of a fiend in humup form. We will quote a small part of it: PRAYEK OF THE POPE. "May Almighty God and liis holy saints curse the Spiritualists and their journals. May they be crushed and swept fiway from the face of the earth. Let them suffer hunger, thirst and nakedness. Let them be cursed every where and at every hour cursed day and night, sleeping and waking, in eat ing and drinking cursed at home and abroad cursed on land and on water cursed from the top of their heads down to the soles of their feet. May famished wolves prey upon their corpses and may their eternal company be Svitun and his angels." No intelligent Catholic will say amen to such a shameful, inhuman prayer. In looking over this curse by the head of the Christ ian Church, we are lead to inquiro why the various denominations of Christians are so bitterly opposed to Spiritualism? The difference in relig ion between the two classes is only such as would naturally grow out of more enlightened and elevated condi tion of mankind- The law. of progress is everywhere in operation. It is the belief of scientists and a largo class of the most intelligent, observing persons in the old countries and in America that the present spiritual communion is the result of our having reached a higher condition of life, religiously and intellectually, and that tho large num bers \vlio have progressed out of the old theology were prepared to receive higher and more ennobling ideas of God, and a future state of existence. So let the Pope and priests curso and issue their excommunications. Wo heed them not. Tlie world moyes and the old Bloody Hell fire and brimstone theol ogy is passing away to give place to a more natural, humane religion, con taining the most beautiful and elevat ing thoughts tlie human mind is capa ble of comprehending. IIow they shine when brought in contrast with the low and depraved conceptions of Deity ex pressed in the above curse. L. A. CiiArSEY. The Worthington ADVANCE speaks very complimentary of the Democratic platform, and expresses the belief that the preamble and second resolution—in favor of personal liberty and against sumptuary legislation—"ought to- be nailed to the masthead of every news paper iu America." In this the AD VANCE is correct, but so long as it is profitable to worship at the other shrine, the renjonty of the newspapers, like frail humanity in general, will be found there.—ATankato Review. We expressed more than that, how ever. We said that the principles of the preamble and second resolution ought to be put into .Republican plat forms, (and every other political plat form for that matter.) And if the Republicans do not put these or similar declarations into their platforms, the New Democracy now rising over the horizon will sweep them from power and it ought to. Tho Republican party is responsible for that Devil's and Bigot's trap, tho Comstock law a Re publican Legislature passed the in famous Russell law of Ohio taxing the ministers of Spiritualism $300while the fool State exempts the ministers o? other roligions from many of the com mon burdens of the citizen tho Repub lican party is shouldering prohibition fanaticism wherever it is shouldered by a political party. To be brief: the Republican party has made scores of assaults on personal liberty and is rapidly becoming the party of bigots, fanatics, aristocrats, monopolists and monarchists. Of course it cannot exist long tinder these circumstances in a country like this. The ADVANCE has always boldly de nounced these wrongs and this ten dency. While acting iu tin main with the party, and having been earnestly with it in its effort to preserve the governnrent when assailed, we have never hesitated to denounce ringism, bossism, C'omstockism, and tho class legislation of the party. And we most devoutly hope that this year the Republicans will be so badly beaten in Ohio and Iowa as to curb the fool tendency of the party to rush headlong into the arms of every fanat icism which is presented to it as a "great, moral issue." The party now is undoubtedly Bigot-Ridden and rap idly becoming tho foe of individual rights and personal liberty. AMONG TIIE SHAKERS. In certain sections of the country there are religious sects known as Sha kers but for the present we will not speak of them. The "shakers" to whom we rpfer are those who suffer from swamp fever which necessarily entails Rheumatic troubles and Neural gia. To those unfortunate ones, there fore, we recommend Salicylica as a pan acea for their ailments. Try it and be convinced of its curative powers. ADVERTISING IT. Advertising, energy and united ac tion will build up a town, county or state, as well as private institutions. Worthington o«es a large percent of her prosperity "to the ADVANCE and to such men as Mr. Parsons who let the people at large know there is such a place as Worthington.—Fulda Repub lican. That's a fact, Woolstencroft, truer than gospel. Parsons and Miller have done more to advertise Worthington and Nobles county than all the other men, women and children put together. And we believe they have been more "cussed" and dis-cusscd by croakers, pull backs, bigots, white trash, etc., than nny other twenty men in the county. The ADVANCE has fought a good light and won. Parsons is begin ning to reap a harvest of land sales. THE JACKALS AND HYENAS. Ella Wheeler's new volume, "Poems of Passion," has made a sensation. We have not seen the volume and have read only such poems as have been copied and such newspaper criticisms as have fallen into our hands through ex changes. But we "hear-enough" to enable us to again realize the devilish influence of Comstockism in establishing a (namby-pamby espionage over all our literature. The Comstock jackals and hyenas are always uosing into books and papers for a so-called "obscene" morsel. They overlook altogether the general trend atid purpose of a book and scaroh for some word or thought en which they can hang a ohargo of "obscenity." Those newspapers which art under their influence or adopt their methods are a disgrace to a free press. Thus they judged Walfr Whitman* poems and cried them down. Tfrur they are judging Ella Wheeler's latest volume. She has, evidently, in these poems, only endeavored to portray the great passion of the human heart in all its aspects, just as Shakespeare and the great poets have done. Now see the result. Tho little, smelling committees of the press nose through the volume and select out, here and there, some thing that sounds like Byron or Swin burne, and straightway these disciples of Comstock, those smart ignoramii of tho press, condemn the volume as "immoral." If this devilish Comstockism goes on, our literature will be reduced to the goody goody, milk-and-water gruel of the Sunday schools. Shakespeare, By ron, Burns, Whitman ana all the great poets will be tabood and their works suppressed. Time and again the Bible has been tested by this Comstock rule. Obscene passages have been pointed out. At once the jackals and hyenas reply, "the "general tendency of the book is good." Then we turn and reply "the general tendency of the works you condemn is also good. If you reject these works because of a supposed ob scene passage, you must also reject the Bible." Then the jackals and hyenas make no reply because they cannot, but they gnash their teeth and rush upon you. A censorship and espionage over the press and over all literature is to bo established, and the jackals and hyenas seize the tainted morsel and shake it aloft iu their brutal teeth. HE A VKN AND HULL. We are informed that some of the lower and more ignorant Methodists of Worthington have decided that the ed itor of the ADVANCEcannot even go to II hades. The Devil, they feav, will kick us out. As they are intimately associated with him, they probably have this information from headquar ters. On the other hand, we arc in formed, that the more intelligent and decent Methodists think that there is a chance for us to even worm our way into the orthodox heaven. So much for their opinions. For our own part, we have decided to go. to Heaven. We are gathering about us a band of the brightest brains and the truest men and women aiul we are go ing in. But, levity aside, what can we say to the poor ignorant church-ridden fools who daily condemn us to some fancied perdition because we cannot agree with them in their puerile ideas of God and religion? What can wo say but, "O fools and slow of heart to learn the truth and to be just." Mr. Guelich writes to the Burlimrton Hawkeye his reasons for withdrawing from the Republican party of Iowa which is now controlled by fanatics.— One reason is: Judge Day himself an uncompromis ing prohibit ionist and a staunch sup porter of the late amendment at the polls, being unable to square his per sonal preference with the result of his Irgal investigations, had acted the part of an honest and fearless man ami de cided adverse to the legality of the measure. For this the prohibitionists fiercely demanded his head. And the rump of the once glorious republican party was swift to letch it on a salver! And if Iowa voters are men. instead .of preacher-ridden fanatics, they will avenge this outrage at the polls. They have a glorious opportunity to rebuke fanaticism aiul put down the rule or ruin fanatics of that State. ADVERTISE AT IIOME. Waseca Radical: Mankato got a page of the immaculate Pioneer Press—four columns of reading and three of paid up advertisements. It looks foolish for an old, staid, substantial city like Man kato to fall back on Pioneer Press wind for a boom. Advertise yourselves through your own newspapers, gentle men, if you need to advertise, and keep clear of the questionable practice of Dakota Slim Jim towns, whose heart lays BO low that tliey have to bo pap sucked into life through a Pioneer Press goose quill. COMING. Lake Crystal Union: St. Paul Dis patch says, "Southern Minnesota is now getting the boom she has so long waited for and so long been entitled to." It has been "nip and tuck" for a long while for us to make the outside world believe we were a part of Minne sota. But "tuck" has it at last and the way emigration will pour in will be a caution but we are like the wine served last at supper, the best. Secretary of the Treasury Folger is the owner of landed property in the town of Worthington, in the southern portion of this State, and ran up from Iowa to pay that locality a visit last week. While there he elevated the spines of the southern Minnesotians by purchasing $2,000of Worthington local school bonds, .at 5 per cent, premium which will add a nice little 7 per cent, to his private accounts.—St. Paul Globe. "Elevated our spines," eh? Well, when a financier like the Secretary of the Treasury takes Worthington school bonds you may know they ar* good.
