ADVERTISING AGENcEs.-''It is a fact
that all those persons doing business that
requires extensive advertising, and who
from the mode Of conducting it are able to
arrive at a close approximation Of the re-
suits produced by each separate investment
in this way, are universal in the opinion
that better contracts can be secured
through a well-established Advertising
Agency like that Of Geo. p. Rowell Is Co.,
New York than can be obtained from pub
fishers direct, 10 matter how familiar with
rates and papers the advertiser may be. Il
stands to reason that an az 1cy, controlling
patronage to the extent Of .om fifty to one
hundred thousand dollars permonth, should
be able to secure fayors which would not
be accorded to any mere individual, even
if we omit entirely the benefits which they
must derive from their extensive expert
ence. "-Exchange.

THE WISCONSIN FIRES.
Graphic Account by One Who Has
Been There. Scenes, Incl
dents, Etc.

From the Fond du Lac tWis) Commonwealth.
The first news of a great disaster is
generally exaggerated, but the first re-
ports of the recent fires in the northeast
ern part of this State fell far short of the
truth. When we heard that Peshtigo
was burned and sixty lives lost, every
one said it must be an oXaggeration.
village, so many lives could be lost; but
a recent visit to the fields of desolation
and death made us wonder how any
were saved.
From Oconto, twenty five miles north
OF Green Bay, we went 10y teams
through the burnt district to the Sugar
Bush, Peshtigo and Marinette. The fire
came close to Oconto, the people having
to work heroically 70 save the city. For
the irst eight miles north Of the city the
country was burned over, dertroying
immense quantities of timber and some
houses. Scarcely an acre OF ground
escaped unburned. If the owners could
cut tie pine which was burned so badly
as to kill it, and get it manufactured
into lumber this year, the loss would
not be so fearful, but it would be impos
sible to cut so much in one year.
Eight miles north of Oconto the
tornado began its terrible work of des-
truction. From this point to Peshtigo,
a distance of twelve miles, the timber
was very heavy. Where the tornado
began, the ii mber was mostly pine, and
farther on it consisted of oak, beach and
maple. many trees running up eighty
feet to the first limbs. It is probable
that the tornado carried the fire along
with it with wonderful rapldity. For
mile after mile not a tree Of any size was
was left standing, only sapling here and
there bending to the blast, withstcod
the storm. The trees were blown
down. the roots, in many instances,
after the trees had fallen, standing
twelve to fifteen feet high, with rocks
and dirt among them, were left. The
ground was either covered with ashes or
burned until it looked red. The under.
hrlSl. the small lliHbS vi VIC tiSSSt tlit
bark. the leaves, were all burned. 1t
seems impossible that week ago it was
a forest of evergreen pines.
Wherever there was aculvert in road
built of logs. and covered with ground,
it was burned; also the logs in the
corduroy road leaving the ground hol-
low. There was no sign of life, either
animal or vegetable. Deer and part
ridges were lying along the road burned
to death. About fifteen miles north OF
Oconto is the lower Sugar Bush settle
ment. The road through the Bush runs
east and west. The land is cleared
back and cultivated about three quarters
of a mile on each side of the road. Inc
farm houses were scattered along this
road for distance of five miles. NOT
building nor fence is left. The clover
fields were burned black, and In many
instances in plowed fields the stumps
were burned entirely up, leaving hoies
