Gone to Work on the Track.

Quite a big gang of yonng fellows left here Sunday, and bound for quite a remote destination. They have been engaged through the agency of J. B. Sayler, to work on a new piece of railroad the Chioago & Northwestern is building, on the far side of' lowa, between Council Bluffs and Sionx City. The names of the members of the party, and respective jobs and emoluments, are as follows: Wm. Lewis, foreman, $75 per month, Fred Parcells, Frank McCarthy, Rayford James, George Robinson, Jay Sayler teamsters, $25 per month and board Everal Smith, August Malchow, L. A. Lutz, Wm. Rodebush. John Seible, Frank Chilcote and Korah Daywitt day work, at $2 per day. The boys get free transporation from Chicago, and if they are not struck on the job-after they get out there, there is said to be a big demand for men on farms, at good wages. Mr. Sayler is expecting to send out another gang next Snndsy.
