It is vain to speculate upon what might have been the fates had Mr. Jackson t)f«n more kind. There Is some rwasnu to believe that but for the sudden and unexpected transfer to the C. M.

The funeral of Lewis Boone 'on Thursday last was attended by many of the pioneer settlers of this connty, who caine to pay the l<tst tribute of re- spevt to one who had In former years 6hared with them the trials and priva­ tions of tlie early settler. Mr. Boone was born in Kentucky, removing from there with his parents to Michigan, when lie was six years of age. From thence they removed to Ohio, from which State he removed to Northern Illinois In 1837 and settled upon the farm on which his remains now rest, although at his death not an own«r of tlie land, lie was a lineal descendent of the famous "Daniel Boone" oi his­ tory.

Not long we hope, for WM would prefer to see winter at this time of the year. Our little burgh Is growing slow but sure in its way. J. C. Brewer has erected a fine little barn since we last wrote, and W. H. Wright has the foun dation laid for a feed 6tore down by the depot. E. S. Smith is talking about putting up a dwelling house. It looks a little as though he was going to take a partner C. R.

Ti busi ness brtt tlie work that was in stom progress stopped; the legislature en- whei dorses tlie proceedings, and our happy being dream is over, We have the old grass exhti grown graie left, however, to point - with pride to. and the dim and shadowy hope remains jthat at least this section of the line, from Genoa to Jefiersou will sometime he completed. In the meantime it is consoling to re­ member that the good people of Genoa,Geneva, Klkhorn, Whitewater, etc., Iia/e already li. R, communica­ tion with all other important points, anil that they may coutinue to prosper, eqist. and be happy. Or course all bets made by the subscriber and other optimists on tlie sure and speed}' con­ struction of sa'd Air Line railroad are, without further notice, declared ofi. principal object Is to Wr«*t the land- grant from the old claimants and stop all further disputes regarding the mat­ ter. Mr. Cable savs the stork lie pur­ chased from Jackson and Barnes is the only legal stock, and that held by tlie other parties is of no value. Mr. Sco- field, the President of the Chicago. Portage & Superior, on the Other hand, states that the Jackson stock is of no value, while the stock held by his side is the simon-pure article. Mr. Seofield, also states that his company will com­ plete the road to Chicajjo at once, and give this city a ne»v competing line to tlie Northwest, while the other side Is tiring to stop the building of such competing line. Mr. Cable does not think that the Scofleid party will ex­ tend the road to Chicago, but will stop building as soon as it has secured the land grant prize, and then to sell out to the highest bidder. It Is hls(Cahle's) intent ion to. extend the line In con­ nection with the Rock Island main line, and thus gjive the bitter an inde­ pendent outlet to the Northwest, aad. therefore. Chicago can only gain by having the road secured to his side. To determine the status of the stock held by tlie various parties is what Mr. Scofield came here for. to have a conference with Mr. (/able, the alleged purchaser of tlie Jackson stock. Tlie conference was to have taken place yesterday, but, as Mr, Scofleld's at­ torney did iioturri*e, an was expected, it will not take'place until to-day. Mr. Cable does not think that anything will come of the conference, and be­ lieves that tlie matter can only be de­ cided by litigation. The purchasers of the Jackson stock have every thing to gain by delay, as it will preven* the Scofleid party from completing the road withlu the required time to seoilre tlie land-grant, in which event tlie grant is likely to fall into the hands of tlie St. Paiil A Omaha Company, which, in tue meanwhile, is completing its line through that section. Every­ thing indicates that Mr. Cable and the Kock Island are working hand in hand with the St. Paul «fc Omaha Company, although the latter remains in the background at present. Additional strength is given to this belief by the fact that some of the leading owners of the Hock island are also largely In­ terested in the St. Paul & Omaha line.' The following from the St. Paul Pioneer-IVexs is apparently a correct statement of tlie situation: "To* man up a tree, there seems to be a wheel within a wheel in the al­ leged purchase of the stock of tlie Chicago, Portage & Su|>erior Road, which road as yet has no tangible ex­ istence. The first statement was that President II. H. Porter, of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Line, had bought the stock, and subsequent Interviews with Solicitor Spooner, of that company-, apparrently 'gave awav' the whol'e mattet. Subsequently Mr. Porter has taken the pains to deny the story that he had bought the stock, considering it utterly valueless. It Is highly probable that all tho gentlemen have f-poketi tho truth within the circle in which they have their immediate movements.

R., bf every­ body in thla part of the country In­ duces us to reproduce* the following lengthy ar||cje Irom the Chicago Tribune of Jan. 3lst. People here­ abouts don't care wl^> has possession of tlie road so it Is built and we judge from tlie ttonor of the Tribune"article that whichever of the competing companies secure ^e land grant, the road will be built all the same. We don't give up hope yet.' A great ^|eal more importance is be­ ing attach#i! to tlie fight1 for the pos­ session of V»e Chicago, Portage and Superior Railroad than the matter really deserves. The contest is simply a revival of the old fight between rival corporations for the land-grant attach­ ed to tlie charter of this road. It mat­ ters but little to the general public who finally getscontrolof the company or the land-grant. If the Chicago, Portage A Superior Railroad does not eomplete the sixty-eight inilesotroad south from Superior City, the.valuable land-grant, which is tlie principal bone of contention, will revolt to the State of Wisconsin. A rival line, the Chi­ cago. St. Paul, Minneapolis A Omaha, has long been after the grant, and has been buildiug a line through that sec­ tion in order to secure it. Both roads claim to be entitled to the grant, and the matter is to eonn* up before the Legislature this winter. 'Although Sir. R. It. Cable, of the Rock Island, claims that he is the sole purchaser of Jack­ son's stovk. vet it looks as if the Chi­ cago, St. Paul. Minneapolis & Omaha Companv i^iii* #^#>4 ! sneh may not have made the purchase. Str far so good. The GraiUi Trunk iiri« did not buy, for a fact f good again.-- Mr. Cable.'of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, did buy, so lie claims, for himself only, and not as representing anybody else. He says. If correctly re­ ported, that he cannot decide what dis­ position to 'make of the stock until after consultation with the officer® of the Chicago,Portage it Superior Road.

V > FARM FOR RUNT, more satisf action to the general .nUGtomy*. especially those people who keep the run of the internal affairs of some of our leading railroad companies. "It is pretty well known that the Chicngo A Northwestern and the Chi­ cago, St. Paul. Minneapolis & Omaha line are closely allied in business in­ terests. Though they are two distinct corporations, they have mutual in­ terests, The Rock Island is another distinct corporation, but as yet having no northwest connection via»t. Paul.-- It has been striving for business in this direction for some time, and lias so far succeeded that last summer it secured some emigrant traffic from Chicago, hound to the Red River Valley and to Manitobia. But tlie golden opportunity has come at last by which it can make a strike for Lake Superior by the con­ trol of 'he route laid out by the Chi­ cago, Portage A Superior Company' and that, too, without bringing on • a fight wlni the Chicago it Northwest­ ern and tlie Chicago, St. Paul, Minne­ apolis & Omaha, in fact, it apparently matters not whether the Omaha line, or tlie representatives of tlie defunct Chicago, Portage A Lake Superior Road securcs the land-grant prize to be fought for in the Wisconsin Legisla­ ture, when 'certain facts are considered, the principal of which facts are the names of the leading directors of tho three great companies mentioned. The Omaha Line has, among other gentle­ men, for Directors David Dows, R. P, Flower. Benjamin Brewlster of New York, R. R. Cable of Rock Island. II. Ii, J'orter, of Chicago. In the Chicago fc Northwestern Directory and David Dows, R. P. Flower, lu the Rock Is­ land Directory are David Dews. R. P. Flower. Ben | am in fierwsler. R. R( Cable and II. H. Porter. Here is a wonderful couincidence of names that justifies the surmise tiiat there may be a coincidence in the fact that the Rock island should take a hand in this patronage business, and have the auda city to strike out for Northwestern business. Dr. David Dows possibly is the masterspirit in this whole move.-- it is said he, with tlie influences at Ids command, Is wealthy enough to exe­ cute anv reasonable railroad scheme, and that, in defiance of railroad tere?ts. How much he can and will ac­ complish through his three companies time will tell. It seems therefore a waste of time to to speculate much up­ on probabilities until it is known that he willgo back on alibis past aspira­ tions for Northwestern business for the Rock Island and his known power to wield the policy of the other two roads into a harmonious purpose to act together. After all. may not. the three companies for all practical purposes be termed one company, with the Rock island acting as tlie dominant power* The purchase of the Chicago. Portage & Superior stock by Mr. Cable for the Rock Island seems to answer the ques­ tion. The Omaha and the Ro^k Island may'confine |heir road building from Superior City to Veazie and both ma». claim the land-grant, and even figlW for it in the Wisconsin Legislature, but whichever party secures the prize may be only the disbursing agent for a 'divy' between the three great corpora­ tions named. David Dows, Esq., of New York, being the great directing Captain of the whole movement. Later news says tiiat the matter of the Laud Grant has been made the subject of a long report by the Rail­ road Committee of the Wisconsin Senate, in which is given a detailed history of the gtant,and ends by re­ commending tiiat tho laud-grant J>e •riven to the "Chicago. St. Paul, Minneapolis A Omaha Railway Co.," which will immediately deposit $78,- 000, to pay of the laborers who have been defrauded of their wages, for Rent, RICHARD For particulars BISHOP.
