personal estate of California by
$50, 900, eco? Would you believe
that Wisconsin is i've times as
wealthy as the great State ct Texas
-four times as rich Sc Kansas,-
three times as rich as Minnesota
and twice as rich as Virginia Yet
such is the case as the census statis-
tics will show.
It may be argued, however, that
such states as California and Kan
sas have vast resources yet to be
developed. But The same is true of
Wisconsin. In the northern half of
the state are 10000, 100000 feet of
standing pine which has an actual
cash value &c hupdreds &C millions
of dollars. There is an iror range
rich enough to supply the world
with ore for 2 century. Add to
this the copper and lead mines and
twenty million acres Of farming
land which have never yet felt the
pIow, and it will be seen that Wis
consin has vast amount Of unde-
veloped wealth.
In this state the average wealth
of each person is s765.9o; III Mich
igan it is SOCIAL; in Iowa $60I.0 03;
in Kansas 35l8.36, and in Texas
$l94.3o.
Some idea Of the comparative
wealth and prosperity OF state
may be formed from a glance at
the number Of paupers it has to
support. At the time the census
report was made, Wisconsin mad
1900 paupers. Michigan, an ad-
joining state, with about the same
population had more than twice as
m&nv. Massachusetts had over g.
600 paupers--more than fye times
as many. California, with not half
the population Of Wisconsin, has
nearly twice "a many, while Maine,
with half the population has three
times as many. Vermont, with a
population of only $4,000 supports
over 1900 paGpers, while New
Jersey has $4,000, Virginia $500,
Indiana 4,60o, Illinois 5000, Penn
sylvania $500 and New York 26,-

WISCONSIN CENTRAL EXTENSION.
The connecting link of the Wis
consin Central Railroad With the
Northern Pacific Railroad will
open up Wisconsin more than we
haze any Idea Of at present. IL a
few years we can stand and see car
loads Of teas from China, furs from
the British Possessions, grain from
Oregon, aud gold and silver bullion
rushing along over the Wisconsin
Central, and during the hot weather
thougands Of invalils from all parts
OF the United States rushing up to
Lake Superior to regain their health.
Lake Superior is bound TO be the
fashionable watering place. With
plenty of trout fishing, boat riding,
cool weather etc, no one can fail to
enjoy themselves We are informed
that many families from the south
are engaging rooms for the coming
summer at Ashland and Bayfield,. -

STRAws show which way the
wind blows. The United States
Supreme Court has decided that tho
Duluth canal through Minnesota
Point is a canal and may remain a
canal. Now see if the Northern
Pacific railroad company and The
st. Paul and Duluth railroad com
pany will not rebuild the trestle
bridges on the railroad line which
they JOINTLY own between Duluth
and Thomson, and thus, to all in
tents and purposes, determine the
question of lake terminus for the
former road in favor of Duluth i!
The following Item clipped from
last weeks MINI. Herald, and other
recent "indications'' suggest ehe
above inference: General Manager
Sargent, Superintendent Towne and
Purchasing Agent Williams, Of the
Northern Pacific, and Major Thorn
as Brennan, of the st. Paul 81 Dn-
luth Railroad, were in town during
the week. We learn that 1t has
been decided to gravel the track
from the yard to Rice's Point, thus
doing away with trestle work, also
that a location for a new freight
house and bonded warehouse were
discussed. 7. S. Since the above
item was pat in type, we learn that
the railroad company are about to
engage 20 men, with gravel trains,
and that work is to be commenced
at once to fill up the trestlework
between Lake Avenue and Rlces
Point. It is estimated that FIVE
months win be occupied to com
pIeto the undertaking."

KEEP PEGGIEG AwAY.-A farm
er friend had occasion to write the
editor of this paper a note the 9TH
er day. In closing his note he
asked Curb, can you tell me the
way out of the present hard times?"
OF course we can. Keep pegging
away-live within your income, and
save little for rainy day-sell
your surplus stock and grain-if
you can't get your price take what
you can get; take the money and
pay your honest debts; and if you
owe no debts, put the money on in-
terest and don't 90 on credit any
more; work steady and be econom-
ical-make no bad or foolish trades,
and the first thing you know you
will be sitting up cross-legged, with
peace and plenty. Now, we've told
you the way out, and if you don't
go it is your own fault.-DGecSon

afternoon, two men named Thomp-

when he reached the fatal spot, they
were already dead, and were seen

The DEBT MANIA OF THE AGE.-
a curious statement, illustrating
the debt mania of the age and It's
disagreeable consequences, has
been published in Champaign coun-
", III, The assessed value of real
estate in the county is a fraction
more than eleven millions, and upon
this are recorded mortgages for
about six millions. The interest On
these is nearly six hundred thousand
dollars, and the taxes raise the an
nual burden to more than million
equivalent to nine per cent, on
the whole taxable value of realty in
the county. The weight of the
burden thus entailed upon product
i've Industry is shown by the further
fact that the interest ana taxes re-
quire an average annual payment
from every soul of the county's
population of twenty-five dollars
and q balf. It viii require some
thing more than free coinage Of
daddy dollars to remove the load
which, through reckless borrowing
aud spending, is thus buckled upon
the backs of the people of Cham

In al sections Of the country,

IL q dissatisfied, restless, turbu-
lent element that is In the near
future likely to shake society

The Eastern and Western
cities embrace in their popnla-
ton men Of great wealth, and
the corporations binding the
two sections together have as
snDed huge dimensions. The
popnlace are looking with en-
rions eyes on the possessions
OF the former, and, with bitter
ness Of spirit, on the latter, for
Wrongs, real or fanciea, inflicted
On the laboring classes, and are
like an immense powder maya
