Widftmgtei* g^kmiHt, Terms $a.oo Year, $1.00 for Six Months. THUB8DAY, FEBRUARY 20,1879. TUB ao urn Bits MISSKSOTA. The Pioneer Press correspondent at La Crosse dispatches as follows under 4ate of Feb. 13: It is officially announced that the BouCTiern Minnesota has completed ar rangements to build fiom foity to for ty-five miles of railioad beyond Jackson this coming season. The money for this purpose is aheady provided for. A force of surveyors will be put in the field within thirty days, to run prelimi nary surveys. The general direction of their lines will be northwest, so as to ftrike Murray and Pipestone counties, where the company has large quantities Of land. One hundred thousand ties have already been contracted for and are being delivered, and the piles for bridges have been purchased. Should the season prove a good one for crops, the company announce their intention to build through to the Dakota line, 85 miles from their present terminus. Notwithstanding the hard times, their net earnings for the past year have been $811,000. The present length of the road is 216 miles. A recent addition of their facilities is a through car from La Crosse to Mankato, via Wells, which makes connection with east and west trains on the Sioux City road. Officers of the company say the prospect of a big emigration into southern Minneso ta was never so good as now. The above information, confirmed from other sources, is no doubt reliable and we can count upon the extension of the road during the coming summer to aiuuctiou with the Sioux City & St. Paul road. Where the crossing will be, we suppose will not be determined un til the survey is made, but we have as surances from gentlemen who received the information in confidence from the Company, that a connection will be made at Worthington. The ADVANCE has uniformly claimed that even should the main line follow the northern route, a branch would be built into Woi thing ton and traius run leguhuly to this point. Mr. Easton and Mr. Downer, we believe, control most of the stock, and they always have been and still are strongly in favor of coming to Wor thington. With the opening of spring, we shall begin at once to feel the benefits of the extension. There will be a demand for men, team3 and supplies, considerable money will be put into circulation and the fact that the work is going on will of itself turn no little immigration in this direction. O UR VILLA ISO US TA LA W. The tax law of Minnesota is an un mitigated villainy. It is wanton wick ed robbery. Under it the laboring and producing classes are being habitually robbed. By the abuses practiced un 4er it mothers ami children are reduced to Leggaiiy want. The farmer who is encumheied with debt at a usurous rate of interest is unable to pay his taxes, and the law adds to his nnstoi tunes by Jng tiling up penalties nud inteiest and sell the poor man out to the meiciless speculator. The annual tax sales are an odious wickedness woithy of ban dits. The delinquent tax-payei's larm is sold for only a f.u thing of its actual value to men who never invest a cent in their puichase until the day of le demption has parsed. The tax assess ment is ahvny.s made huge enough to luoie than deliay all necessaiy expens es without drawing upon the purse of ring purchaseis of the faims of delin quents.—Austin Republican. This is only too tuie, but while we are demanding a change in this lespect, we want to look at home at the merci less levies and mismanagement which prevail in our counties. For instance, the late of taxation in this county is higher than it is in any county in the State. T.iis is no doubt largely due to the fact that we have a heavy levy to pay bridge and jail or ders, that is, to pay the principal when it would stiaiu our people to pay even the interest. Thus, if the taxes are collected this year, we shall pay SI,000 forbiidges and $2,300 foi jail. Grow ing out of this subject of bi idge tax, we have been informed by reliable per sons that there are a number of bridges in the county that are of no use. They are on side roads and are rotting down. In the vilLige of Worthington, we ex pect to be pretty heavily taxed. The school tax is prodigious, much of which is duo to the fact that we have a school house considerably beyond our need, but it was built when times were bet ter and when we had "great expecta tions" for our place. The practical question is, what can we do to reduce the levy for the pres ent, until the great stringency i3o\ei' and until we can divide the matter up among more tax-payeis? Apropos of our village levy, we un derstand that the Boaid are in the hab it of raising or lowering the valuation at will, without citing the parties to ap pear. We admit that the debt of Nobles county is light compared with some of the surrounding counties, and this is due largely to the fact that we are try ing to "pay as we go." But it is best not to ride a willing horse to death. We do not want to exhaust ourselves entirely in lajing the foundations of a community which others are to enjoy with us. It looks bad to people abroad, who think of locating in this county, to see, as many of ihem did from the table re cently publislted in the ADVANCE, that our rate of taxation is higher than that Of any county in the State. But this is largely in their favor. We are foot ing the bills now, and when they get here they will find alight county debt to shoulder. And this is the only thing that can be said in favor of our trying to "pay as we go" to such a great extent. IXSOLVEXCY LA \r. A very important and elaborately prepared bill has been introduced into tho Minnesota Legislature under the following title "An act to provide for voluntary bankruptcy of insolvent debtors and for compulsory proceedings against such debtais, and for an equitable dis tribution of the propel ty of such debt ors among their creditors, and to force ...discharge of such debtors from their debts, and to pievent frauds upon and preferences among creditors. This is a measure of the first import. ance to the business men of the State, •nd if the Legislature should do notli ing more than to pass this bill, it would do a good winter's woik. 'Under the prcse.it laws, since the re pealof the Natl nal Bankrupt Law, every 'retail dealer^ unless he buys for oasli, lives in momentaiy expectation pf bej.ig cloged up by his creditors. Under the present rule of "first come first served" each wholesale dealer feels bound to be in first to secure his claim, and extensions and accommodations are out of the question. An idle rumor that a merchant is "shaky," reaching St. Paul or Chicago, brings down from two to half a dozen creditors and the country merchants are closed out. A single shyster in a country town, by a stroke or two of hie pen, can bring ruin upon merchants who are the least era bai rassed. Then the sheriff who serves the attachments, can so manipulate the matter, as to favor one creditor at the expense of another. The bill is so designed also to prevent debtors from giving preference to one creditor over another. This, we under stand, has been done in one instance in Worthington. In another instance, it seems, the merchant had incurred the ill-will of a salesman who reported him as embarrassed and thus bi ought down the creditors and closed him up. The importanc3 of this bill to coun try merchants can haidlybe over-esti mated. In this time of excessive finan cial stringency, the laws should, if pos sible, be so shaped as to relieve rather than to increase the difficulties of our merchants. 3 A LATA a Hi. The ADVANCE recently gave an ab stract of Talmage's defence against the attacks of his cleiical brethren. The spirit of his defence was admirable and shows that he is as much above the or dinary run of clergymen as Beecher. The moment Talmage began to be fa mous and attract attention he excited the jealousy of the small fry clergy and they began to attack him as a pulpit buffoon, a sensationalist, a montebank preacher, etc., and even circulated downright slanders against his person al character. For years they tried this on Beecher, but he went steadily ahead exerting more influence at home and abroad than any other hundred preach ers in America. Finally his envious clerical brethren got hoM of that pre cious bit of tilth, the Brooklyn scandal, and if ever a set of men were happy in gloating over filth and stiife, these mi nor clergymen were in contemplating the downfall of the great Beecher. From the day that clerical vulture and turkey buzzard, Dr. Bacon, got a sniff of the scandal into his Pecksnifli an nose, he never rested till he had brought the whole matter before the public in all its disgusting details. All this time the pious rascal pretended gieat love for Beecher and assumed that he wanted the great preacher cleared of the charge. When Plym outh Church, as fine a body of Christi an men and women as can be found on the continent, were satisfied of Beech er's innocence and wheji even the scoundrel Tilton had concluded to let the slander lest, the Pecksnilliun Dr. Bacon, through jealousy of Beecher, kept hamme-ing away until he g^t the thing into all the newspapers and into Court. How the scantinioiiious buz zard must have rubbed his Mephisto phelian hands with delight when he saw the whole country ablaze with the scandal. And he had the help and sympathy of hundreds of small fry clergymen tluoughout the countiy. Tal'mage must look well to his lau rels. The pack of jealous cleiical yelp eis aie on his hack and will hound him down if possible. As an outsider, as one who loves and appreciares inde pendence and vigor in the pulpit as well as out of it, we want to say Uod-bpetd to Talmage. THAT HOLD DISCOVERY. The Sioux Falls independent of the 13th gives an account of a reported Id discovery in Lake county, Dakota, noith of that place, on the claim ol Hei man Luce. It says: A man by the name of Shepard had occasion to go some distance fiom his chum for a load ot slough hay. On his way home he stopped for a few mo ments near a bluff to lest his team, and tor other purposes. hile gazing caie lessly about him he saw lying neai him apiece of rock that seemed to be filled with )ellow and black streaks. Upon examining it closely he saw that veins of this yellow metal ram ified the white quartz in all directions, lie suspected this to be gold and eager ly seaiched the specimens, which he says he soon found in abundance. On the arrival of the parties fiom this city Mr. bhepaid ret used positively to show any one wheie the quaitz bed «as, but said that it was more than a mile fiom his house, and was located on vacant land of the government. The paities then tiied to induce him to go out and get some specimens for them, they meanwhile to remain at the house. This he also lefused to do, but said he would send down moie specimens to them on Saturday next, lie declai es that he has written to friends in Wis consin, and. that they will soon be here and take mining claims. Prospectois are out over the praries there in all di rections searching for the yellow treac ure. The specimens brought into town are without doubt genuine gold-bear ing quaitz such as is found in the Cali fornia mines '»ut the next question to settle is whether the mine is a "plant" or a genuine mine. Developments will show up the truth in the matter. There is certainly a good deal of excitement over the matter at present, and some of the old time miners say that the pros pects are veiy favorable for a rich mine if the specimens shown were taken from the Lake county bluff. We shall see what we may see. TRAMPS AND PA UPICRS. R. Simmons, from Westside, in this county, writes a sensible letter to the Jackson Republic about tramps and paupers. lie says: I have questioned those tramps to find out where they were fiom and nine out of every ten said they were from the State of Niw York, the great Em pire State. What is the reason that the State of New York has so many tramps? Is it becaase she has such a large population and not employment for the people? I say it is because they have for the last sixty years to my cer tain knowledge sold whisky and kept up saloons and made drunkaids and filled up their poor houses and jails and State Prisions. The State of New York his four State Prisons, averag ing 500 to 700 occupants inside then walls. I saw a letter in the last Republic fro a fanner in South Barre, Oi leans county, N. Y., stating that there were twenty-five soloons in the small village of Albion, and it cost the county eigh teen thousand dollars a year to suppoit their paupers, and if it cost that county eighteen thousand dollars, what would it cost the county of Syracuse? not less than fifty or seventy-live thousand dol lars a year. And where does this mon ey come from to support the panr in the poor house? It is a direct tax on the tax puyeis of the county. It is a heavy burden to bear and what is the remedy? Close up your whisky shops and in a short time vmir poor house will be nearly empty and your jails will haye vacant cells, and your State Pris- ons will have a less number in them: I have lived in Orleans county a good many years,before the Erie.Canal was ffnis led and that was celebrated in Oc tober, 1825, and I think that Orleans county had the best class of people, and it had a number of villages that were thriving little towns. I am glad there is one county in this State that has not a saloon in it, and that is Nobles, and if the people are wise they never will allow any man to start one-in the county. PECK'S sur. Where in the world has Peck's Sun been all this time that we havn't seen I before Tlie No. before us is marked "Vol. No. XXXVI," and dated at Milwaukee. It seems that it used to be published at La Crosse, but her big sister Milwaukee cried for it, and got it away from her. At any rate, it is one of the funniest papers published and the Danbury News and Burlington Hawkeye will hare to keep mettle in their legs, for there is another nag on the track. Here is what the Sun says about itself: We want everybody to read the Sun. It is good for what ails them. It won't hurt anybody. We are exchanging with a couple of hundred papers that have requested us to allow them to pub lish a prospectus or something. They need not do anything of the kind. If every editor will act as an agent—that is, editors in the country—aud put a two line notice in their papers to the effect that they will get up a club, they cau do more for us in a month than we can ever do for them in a lifetime. They can take clubs of ten at $1.65 each, and we will pay postage. Post masters may do the same, if they please. We have no sewing machines to offer for premiums, but we will furnish a lock-stitch, double thread paper that is worth the money. Friends, if you will collar the fellows that come to your offices to read The Sun free, and choke a dollar and sixty five cents out of ten of them, you can help this paper to a circulation that will make it a terror. SCHOOL VISITS. Jan. 21, 1879.—I visited school in District 13, Indian Lake township, John Peteison teacher. This distiict built a neat school house last fall aud this is their first school. John Peterson, who is well known in Worthington, is teaching his first school here and is giving good satisfaction. This is a good school—excellent or der—and all intent on study. Sarah Carpenter, Gelia Carpenter, Mai tin Langseth, Olaf Langseth, Lou is and Eric Johnson and John Saxson constitute the fiist arithmetic class. They commenced in compound num bers about 7 weeks ago, and are now finishing decimal fractions. I examin ed this class on all they have gone over and was pleased with their aptness and proficiency, showing that they had mas tered each subject as they passed along. The 2d class in arithmetic—Matilda Mold, Clara Upstrom, Willie and Frank Saxson, and August Olson, ac quitted themselves Well in Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Shott Division. Orthography is not forgot ten, and I was much pleased with the giade of the large class in spelling, and also a 2d spelling class. Little Ida Saxson and Emma Ander son are conqueiing the A C's and spelling in three and four letters, and Lilly V. Carpenter has reached the fiist reader. Fiaukie Blixt, Cluist. Solom OUSOM, Wallace SAXSOU and Frank An deison though busy spelling the small er words, are determined to go on till the} leach the 4th reader. I examined the copy books closely, and find them all. with a few excep tions, neat and clean. Here they have wutmg exeicises eveiy day, and as a lesult, theie is not a scholar but has made mai ked impi ovement. John Sax son exc 'Is for the amount of practice he has had—as well as otheis whose names I can't now recall. The people of Indian Lake ought to be proud of their school. Mr. Saxson spent the day with me at the school and was pleased with what he saw. J. C. OGLE, County Supeiintendent. "UETl'lXO THROUGH." EDITOR ADVANCE: The protracted meeting held by the Methodist denomi iti n, have closed and eveiy one in town and vicinity is aware of the good that has been accomplished. This '"get ting throiiiih" and joining the church makes a fellow—that didn't amount to very much before—a man of some im portance. Recently one of the "re aimed'' sat through preaching, his feet upon the bench in front of him, book in his lap and read, and was "per fectly at home." I tell you it is a fine thing. His "brother in Christ" was busy whispeiing and laughing with the gills on the back seat. He was on hand at the Lyceum ai.d was foremost in "caijing on." Some of them are too good"to contin ue going to school. C. A GOOD INDORSEMENT. It would no doubt be highly amusing, and at the same time astonishing, to see a complete li-t of all the expensive and "poweifill" names of the multitude ot short lived medical preparations placed upon the market during the past few years as "most wonderful discover ies" and "infallible cures." (In hoc $igno vinccs,) by unscrupulous specula tors and adventurers, who, recognizing the value of advertising seek by these means to obtain public favor and popu I.uityfor their doubtful and so oiten entirely worthless and even dangerous piepaiatlons. And it is a genuine pleasure for us to commend Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup as one of the few really deserving medicines offered to the pub lic. Its adoption by many of our intel ligent physicians is due only to its real worth and merit and thousands of fam ilies it is regarded as "the standard household lemedy." (Wash., D. C.in Ciitic.) The following resolution was adopt ed at a recent meeting of agriculturists in St. Paul: Resolved, That rolling wheat is indis pensable to Achieve the best results and that expeiiinents have been made of harrowing wheat when fiom six to ten inches hlg'i when the ground is dry and baked, resulting in a large iuciease of the crop, nnd it is the sense of this nue ing that furtlur experiments should be made. We publish the announcements in our advertising columns for pay, and seldom trouble ourselves to enquire as to the qualities or merits of the wares advertised, fuither than to assure our selves that they aie legitimate and re spectable. But when an article per torms miracles in our midst, transform ing the old to young, in appearance at least, we cannot pass it by unnoticed. We know of people who, years ago, weie gi ay-headed and who now wear dark glossy hair. How is this? It evident ly is not colored, for it has apeifectly uatuial appeiance instead of the harsh, diy, staring look of hair stained with 'nitrate of silver or other common hair 'dyes. No,! it has been restored to its youthful color, luster and vitality by ithe use ot that wonder of wotiders. Hall's Vegetable Sicilian Hair Renew er.

Religio-Philosophical Journal's Series of Biographical Sketches of Promi nent Spiritualists. Religio-Philo sophical Publishing House. Chicago. Price 25 cents. This is a neat pamphlet containing Biographical Sketches of Dr. Samuel Watson, Prof. Hare, Hudson Tuttle, Giles B. Stebbins, Mrs. McDongal Jas. G. Clarke, Rev. Jno. Pierpont, Dr.' Pee bles, Wm. E. Coleman, E. D. Babbitt A. J. Davis and Prof. J. R. Buchanan! These sketches are especially interests ing to Spiiitualists, but the pamphlet would furnish interesting leading also to all the narrow-gauge, semi-intelli gent church people who coolly arrogate to themselves what they call "the best culture" and who persist in asserting that Spiritualism finds its adherents among the vulgar and the uneducated, when the fact is that the thinkers of both Europe and America have already gone over to Spiritualism and that in telligent men and women are joining its ranks by the hundred. We hope the Journal will continue those sketches, until it includes Judge Edmunds, Horace Greeley, Judge Car ter, Senator Tallmage, aud other Amer icans, and, on the other side of the wa ter, Victor Hugo, Prof. Zoellner, Glad stone, Queen Victoria, and many oth ers.

To s^e so much that is excellent of fered for so little cost is sure to put a cheerful smile on the face of a peison of literary taste, and a dime or dollar into the hands of the publishes.
