This interesting story has been reprinted

It's kind, dark and tragic in some of its scenes,

in the construction of the plot.

If a man who had all the money he want
ed, should suddenly come into the posses
sion Of an immense fortune, his first idea
would be, what should he do with it. Mil
waukee is about in the same condition as the
rich man would be. Chicago came up here
went TO fooilng around our wheat markst, and
the consequence was she got bitten-bitten
badly. Now, the question is, what shall we
do with the surplus? 1t has been proposed to
build several railroads which have for some
time been projected, and this will no doubt be
done now The Omro road will be taken care
OF, also the Fond du Lac air line. Then the
Chicago road will be extended to Green Bay.
A road will run down into the Mineral Point
lead regions as it much needed to turn the
tide Of travel from that section to this city. AS
there will be surplus after this, it is propos-
ed to build magnificent lunatic asylum on
the bank OF the lake as q monument to Chi
cago greatness. The fine breeze of the lake
might cool the feverish brows of the Chicago
inmates, if they are not already cool enough
after the experience they have had in "subur-
ban villages" This latter project might be
postponed for few days, as we have no doubt
our wheat men wonld be very glad to receive
a visit from the Chicago Board of Trade. before
resorting to extremes. The asylum might be
got under way; for another visit. similar to
their last would certainly have our neichbors

At the time indianapolis was about to build
