Tbe Douglas Monument at Chicago-
It will be about 100 feet in height,
and have a diameter at the base of fifty
two feet. The foundation, base and
tomb have been completed since 1806.
There are four pilasters projecting
from the corners of the tomb, which
will be surmounted by our emblemic
statues in sitting attitudes. They
will be of heroic size, and be made of
bronze or the finest Italian marble.
One figure will represent history re
cording on a tablet the doings of Illi
nois, who sits on another corner, and
toward whom history is bending a lis
tening ear; the other two will represent
commerce and the arts and sciences,
with the proper symbols. All will he
robed in harmonizing dress and in class
ic style. There will be four high bas
reliefs in marble or bronze extending
around the pedestal and which will
represent American subjects. One
group will represent the aborigines hunt
ing, fishing and engaged in other exer
cises, 'with wigwams, squaws and
other Indian accompaniments. An
other group will represent a pioneer
farmer’s life, a third trade and enter
prise, illustrated by the building of
railroads, telegraph, the unloading of
vessels, etc. A fourth group will rep
resent education, illustrated by
churches, colleges and a class of young
sters receiving instruction from their
schoolmaster.
The architectural work rising above
the tomb will consist of an ornament
ed pedestal, ornamented with bas-re
liefs, and festoons and wreaths of
laurel, flambeaux, book and scrolls.
Resting on the pedestal will be a cir
cular column forty-four feet in height.
It will be placed in three sections, the
sections to be joined by a belt of stars
representing the different states. The
column will have a convexed outline,
be crowned with an ornamented frieze
and cap, upon whieli will be a colossal
bronze statue of Senator Douglas,
standing in the attitude of delivering
an oration. The statue will be nine
feet high. The tomb chamber is to be
tiled with various colored marbles. A
life-sized bust of Douglas will be placed
upon the sarcophagus. The grounds
will be handsomely laid out with walks,
and be enclosed by a terrace wall on
the lake side and a stone curbing on
Douglas avenue. The shaft will be
granite.
Railroad Competition.
An unusually well posted correspon
dent of the N. Y. Tribune writes as
follows from Denver, July 12th, in re
gard to the new railroad enterprise
from Cheyenne south:
Railroads and politics are reasonably
certain to be live topics at all times,
in every well regulated Western city.
Public interest in Denver lias lately
been closely centered on a new phase
of the old controversy to which the city
and the Kansas and Union Pacific Rail
roads are parties, and from which cer
tain definite results in the near future
are quite clearly outlined. To write
the history of the dispute between
the two great corporations, or
either to state it satisfactorily to
on its merits, is probably impos
sible; hut the pith of the whole matter
is the desire of one company for a share
of the local business of Colorado, and of
the other for a divison at Cheyenne, of
the trans-continental traffic. The
Union Pacific wishes to get into Colo
rado; the Kansas Pacific is determined
to keep it out; the Kansas Pacific
wishes to take and deliver freight and
passengers to and from California at
the same rates and on the same terms
as the eastern half of the Union Pacific;
in other words at the Eastern base of
the mountains all overland traffic shall
divide and concentrate, taking either
route on equal terms and the Union
Pacific says—we will see about that.
Thus far. owing to the peculiar situa
tion of affairs ill Colorado, each road
lias succeeded fairly in maintaining its
position. The little Denver Pacific
road of 106 miles, from this City to
Cheyenne, three-fourths owned by the
Kansas Pacific, and wholly operated by
them, lias served as an effectual barrier
against any trade or travel coming into
the State, byway of Cheyenne, and the
Union Pacific, and its general functions
remind one of the Milesian toast, to the
builder of the bridge which divides the
two sections of our country.” Fares
at 10 cents per mile, and a freight tariff
in proportion, have reduced southward
bound business of the Denver Pacific to
a very low figure. Denver naturally
objects to this state of affairs, and de
mands from the road to which it gave a
million of stock, the advantages of
competition between the two lines.
Proceeding was lately begun in the
courts of the appointment for a receiver
for the Denver Pacific, a position for
which several highly eligible candi
dates amongthe leaders of tbe movement
presented themselves, but within the
past few days affairs have been arranged
and a truce agreed upon. The officials
of the Denver Pacific have been
changed, and the road will be for the
present operated by the representatives
of the Denver interest, who have already
reduced fares and freight. Meantime
much more important action has keen
taken by the Union Pacific officials, and
as far as they are concerned the Colora
do problem is in the way to speedy
settlement. The Colorado Central,
which is altogether under the control of
the Union Pacific, now extends from
this city to Longmont, fifty-three miles,
and contracts have been signed for its
extension to Cheyenne within ninety
days. Mr. J. D. Ripley, of your city,
who has the construction in charge says
that his instructions are to run an
engine from Cheyenne to Longmont by
October 1, and there is no doubt that
if left alone, he will do it. Th6 distance
is about 80 miles but the grades are
light, the work easy, and labor cheap
and plenty. With this extension com
plete, the Union Pacific will have free
access to all the principal towns, mines
and markets of Colorado, and the Den
ver Pacific is surrounded. It is the old
story of two roads to the business which
is not sufficient to half occupy one, and
both of which, except for outside
support, must run at a loss. Cheyenne
votes 8150,000 in bonds to aid the
Longmont extension, but the value of
Denver’s investment in her road to
Cheyenne after the rival route is opened
will be very questionable. To the
Eastern and outside world all this con
troversy is Interesting, as likely to
open another way across the Continent,
and one which will place at the option
of the traveller a stop in Colorado with
out additional expense. It has been
and is now impossible to buy overland
tickets byway of Denver, and tourists
who wished to visit the State en routo
have been at heavy cost of time and
money. Residents of Eastern Kansas,
as far west as Topeka, find it cheaper to
go to San Francisco east and north via
Kansas City and Omaha, rather than to
come directly West over the shorter
line through tlieiy own State, while, on
emigrant fares, the cost of the Kansas
Pacific, west of Cheyenne, would be 83
more than the whole amount they
would receive from the Missouri River
to the Pacific coast. Naturally, the
the position of the Kansas Pacific, ex
cluded from participation in the over
land business, is extremely unsatisfac
tory to its managers. They have acts
of Congress and judgments of courts
in favor of the prorate, but these pay
no dividends nor interest, and are not
what they want. Whether they will
ever gain their point, it would be idle
to predict; though au independent line
West from Denver, through Berthoud
Pass, to a junction with the Central
Pacific at Ogden is physically possible,
the obstacles which will certainly pre
vent the road for some time are finan
cial.

The Foe of Pain.
The friend of suffering humanity—the
enemy of disease, and the salvation of
the patient brute, is Mexican Mus
tang Liniment. There is no sore it
will not heal, no ache or pain it will j
not banish. For accidents in the fam
ily, such as burns, scalds, sprains, cuts,
etc., it has no rival. It has saved
more human lives, and restored more
horses, oxen and other cattle, to useful
ness and profit, than all other liniments
put together. may27-d3tawawGm

The late well-known Father Taylor,

A Duty to the Community.
From the well-known Evangelist, Rev.

Newburyfort, Mass.,
GEO. PIERCE «fc CO.—I regard it to he a
duty I owe to you and the community, to
write a lew lines In favor of your Invaluable
medicine, cnlled “Dr. Prick's Indian Re
stokativk Hitters.’’ Without flattery, I
remnrk, I think It to be the best medicine of
the kind ever gotten up.
EDWIN BURNHAM.
A Family Medicine over
30 Years.
Saved from Death.
From Henry V. Davis.
New Bedford. Mass., March 3,1877.
Messrs. GEORGE PIERCE CO.—Your
“Indian Restorative Bitters,” of which
I have always kept a supply In my family for
the past thirty years, has saved me hundreds oj
dollars, and lam very certain some of its mem
bers have been saved from death, which would
probably have occurred with different treat
ment. Yours truly, HENRY V. DAVIS.
Sure Preventive against Disease
EVERY MINER OUGHT TO HAVE
IT IN HIS CAMP.
Elder John G. Hook, the well known
Evangelist, who with Rev. G. A. Eng
land, of this city, in the winter of
1874, carried on the first revival ever
had in Wyoming Territory, says:
Concord, N. H., March 16th, 1876.
GEO. PIERCE &. CO.:—Have used your “In
dian Restorative Bitters” for more than
twenty years, and can testify personally to its
value os a medicine. I never allow my fam
ily to bo without n bottle In the house, and
Invariably carry it with me in my valise on .
my Journeys.
My experience derived from its long use is 1
as follows:
It Is a blood purifier, —ls certain to break up 1
a fever; will cure and regulate a disordered ,
stomach, and remove headache.
Will cure costiveness and liver complaint.
It Is excellent for dyspepsia or indigestion,
by taking a swallow after eating.
Let those whoare troubled in this way give
it a trial; they will find It a sure remedy in
such cases.
After Indulging In a hearty boiled dinner
and suffering from an overloaded stomach, the
Bitters never fall to give relief. I know It |
has saved myself ana family from serious
sickness many times.
Always used It for children's complaints.
Know of no other medicine os good and reli
able.
I regard the “Bitters” ns a remedy that
ought to be in every house in the land.
Yours Truly, JOHN G. HOOK.
