Mr.. IRA p SMITH has secured the
agency for this county for the justly Gel
ebrated Gable Lightning Rods, and is
prepared to put them up in short order.
These rods are undoubtedly the UeJy
best manufactured, and some of our
leading business men are taking advan-
tage of the opportunity to have rods put
up on which they can rely. Many of
the finest buildings in Chicago are pro-
tected by these rods, and we can safely
recommend them. to our readers as a
first class article.

ABOUT CONF LOTIONS.


SPEAKING OF the advantages to be de-
rived from connection here with the
Flint and Pere Marquette Railroad, and
the extension of our Western Road, the
Appleton Post says:
1T only requires q little observation
to be convinced that this thoroughfare
is the most convenient road by rail for
the transportation of grain from Mime
sofa TO the seaboard. When the extern
sien Of the NJ, L. S. and w. Railway is
built from this city to New London aud
other negotiations now pending CON
summated, there viii be nearly an air
line from Winona to Manitowoc, being
the nearest point affording a harbor Oh
Lake Michigan.
''Across the Lake from here to Pere
Marquette, the distance is % miles less
than any other route. The Lake is
open nearly the entire year for navaga-
ton, which gives this line great ad
vantage over that to Green Bay; also it
is 150 miles less from Winona to New
York and Boston than other routes. It
were needless to speak cf the harbors
for they are generally known to be
equal if not superior to any on the Lake.
And then, too, Manit owoc's advantages
as port to ship by water, east, are
T. 4, IL e
"All other roads are directed to Chi
cago or Milwaukee being less direct
and increasing the distance consider
ably.
Twenty miles Of this route remains
| to be constructed in order to complete
the most important one that Minnesota
has, and also to place us directly on the
line. Our interest in this extension is
of no ordinary importance. It will aid
materially in carrying out our proposed
enterprises, and more readily bring into
use our extensive water power, utilizing
it for the manufacturing of -four by
bringing into closer proximity the wheat
fields of the West. It will also open up
d new market for our commodities and
otherwise aid III building up this city.
! eff the extension of this road can be
secured for what our leading manufac-
t,lrers and business men consider a
reasonable amount of aid, the Post
pledges itself to be hearty supporter
OF the enterprise
| When the connection is made we shall
have Touring mills in abundance, our
manufacturers having the entire wheat
fields of Minnesota to draw from, and
the manufactured -four can be shipped
to the East by the new short line on a
much larger margin for profit than is
now enjoyed That one item alone is
worth thousands of dollars to our city
| annually.

RIGHT OF WAY GRANTED.
THE Board of Aldermen, ...sst ATonds

THE Board Of Aldermen, LAST Monday
evening, adopted an ordinance granting
to the Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Wes-
tern Railway Company the privilege Of
laying a track upon and running its
trains over Fourteenth street 20 Nam,
across Main to Quay, and down Quay
street to the lake ard while there is
much complaint on the part OF 2 few
mostly property owners on the streets
about to be traversed by the cars--we
are pleased to chronicle the action OF
OR City Board, believing that what mag
be an injury to q few, Will ultimately end
in great profit to the entire community.
Our citizens now have the satisfaction Of
knowing that everything asked by
the Railway Company has been granted
to them, and that it has not, now, any
excuse for delaying the construction Of
its track through the city and extending
its road westward from Appleton to a
connection with the Green Bay and
Minnesota road.
This extension is destined to be of
great importance to both city and coun-
tv. When the connection with the Flint
and Pere Marquette Road is made, it
gives us choice of routes to and from
the East in which both time and cost Of
shipment can be saved, especially since
Manitowoc is nearer the Michigan shore
by from fifteen to twenty-five miles than
any port south of it, and the f. and P.
| nj. Road has direct connections with
| trunk lines running east and south, and
| being new line, will make strenuous
efforts to get freights at lower rates than
OLD established and controlling lines.
La addition to these advantages, the
opening of this route will make Mani
towoc the most important shipping
point north Of Milwaukee, will increase
it's traffic in all branches Of trade where
shipping facilities are main feature, will
make the city of more Importance abroad
and have a tendency to attract capital
from other parts to assist in the develop
n1ent of the many natural advantages
possessed by us as city and county.
That the Railway Company is in ear
nest in regard to their determination to
extend the line westward and to put on
a line Of steamers across the lake, there
is at present but little doubt. Whether
they do it or not, our Aldermen have
done all IN their power to open the way
for them, and there will be nothing for
which we can blame ourselves as citizens.
