Our TRIP TO CHICAGO. The increas- |
ing demand for Job work, in The TR1-
BUNE Office, made it necessary to purchase
a larger and faster press. and for the
purpose OF procuring ore we left Mani
towoc on Friday morning, On the mag
| nifcent Str. Sheboygan, for Chicago
Boarding her at the dock on 5th street,
We came up to the bridge, turned around
and were off at flying rate for the south.
Arriving at Sheboygan, VIC could not
repress u sigh of pity for those doomed
to live in that far famed for debit city,"
While lying there, We made the acquain-
lance of several persons who were going
our way, with whom we passed the time
very pleasantly. Arrived at Milwaukee,
We made our way up town, and were
surprised to see the amount Of business
being done there, especially in the build
ing line. Probably the finest edifee in
the State-the Life Insurance Build
ing, on the corner Of Main and Wiscon-
sin streets, is indeed magnificent struc-
ture, and fully worthy Of such 4 thriving
city as Milwaukee. Our next move was
to fud one of our young friends of 1.-THE
Art Preservative," succeeding in which,
we started for the boat and arrived just
in time, too, as she was on the point of
leaving; and had it not been for the
kindness of that gentlemanly fellow Mr..
James Wells, we would have been COM
PEELED to go supperlcss. He is always
on the look out for late and hungry pas
sengers, and our advise to travellers is to
get on the right side Of him, for be is
just ''old persimm ons. The Manito,ooc
coming up later than usual, we were
cheated out Of the pleasure of listening
to the excellent band they always carry
from Milwaukee to Chicago, until we
got to Racine, whore the other boat left
it, after which NC had music 'till you
couldn't rest" Well, the next morning
we awoke to find ourselves mot dead) in
Chicago, that young giant city of the
West, with a busy day before us. This
being the first time Eye local. had ever
been away from home, it was with some
trepidation that We started up town, but
succeeding in finding our old friends Mr.
j. NJ. and Russ Goodrich, we prevail
ed upon the latter to ''SIiow US around"
when we got along finely. Transacting
our business, we made over to 735 Vest
Madison street, and found ourselves in
the large and well-stocked Drug Store of
Mr.. j. G. Borcherdt, who insisted in our
remaining to dinner, and of course we
yielded ''Yc Senior thought he had
a good square meal at the Newhall in
Milwaukee not long since, but that din
ncr was mt nowhere" and as for wine
we'll, zee had Something, you bet
did mt we julie? After very pleasant
visit at his residence, we took our depar
ture for down town, and the rest of the
afternoon wasspentin seeing the sights"
in this great city. We wont attempt to
give an account of what we saw, for that
would fill 81 columns of our paper, and
, we havn't got but So OF course we saw
old friends, "too numerous to mention"
and were rendered many favors by them
for which they have our hearty thanks.
We succeeded i'll procuring bran new
press, of the best style ever manufactur

lot Of .iob5;ng material, and having ac-
complished this, were all ready to leave
with the ,Sheboygaz, at in the evening,
bound for home. TIE evening was pass

next morning found us-or, rather, we
found ourselvcs-in Milwaukee, when we
met the COMMANDMENTS Chief of the
Pilot, Mr.. +. B. Treat, who was down
there on business, and so far. had sue

II the evening, We came to the conclusion
that he was virtuous specimen of the
link singing fraternity Being better
acquainted in Milwaukee than in Ctr;ca go,
We started bravely up town, las the boat
was to remain all day. and passed few
hours very pleasantly with OLD friends
and acquaintance. The boat left at :

arrived all right In Bonnie Manitowoc

holp doing who takes trip on either of
the splendid boats of the Goodrich line.
