SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR THE FOU +

The First National Bank, New Y ork
forwarded to Washington last Satur-
day another subscription for 81, 100000,
making $4,OOO,OO0 of the popular loan
taken by this bank in two weeks.
There is q brisk demand among the
national banks for this loan and nu-
merous orders are being received for
100000, the banks investing their idle
capital in government bonds at four
per cent. interest in preference to sin

Ezra Simmons gone Eaorae

In the death of Ezra Simmons last
Sunday morning Kenosha has lost an
other of its old and best citizens and
the world one Of its most worthy and
noble men. But what is our loss and
the loss of the world is his gain and
the gain Of the world to which he has
gone. We have know him in suffer
ing as we'll as in health and he was
always calm, sedate and pleasant I'M
der whatever circumstances. And we
understand that during his great suf-
fering for the last ten OF twelve days
of his life his calmness, sedateness and
pleasantness never left him. He bore
his great suffering with fortitude and
patience, willing to endure till the end.
and ready to go when the time came.
And When the time came he made the
exit from the material to the spiritual
realm with JOY and gladness. And
though we shall miss him we shall not
mourn that he has been taken, but
rather for ourselves that we have been
left.
The funeral was held at the house
at 1920 Tuesday morning and Mas
largely attended. Rev. III. NJ. Simmons
conducted the services and delivered
an appropriate discourse.
An obituary of Mr. Simmons may be
expected next week.

not injured by rust, of which there
were then some indications The heavy
rains CT last week and the excessively
hot weather last week and this week
endanger it rusting, and if it escapes ii

from The Geneva Lake Herald.

The course Of the Milwaukee SefJt-
mel, during the past year, has been 9
remarkable one, for q newspaper that
boasts not only Of leading the papers
| of Wisconsin in all matters pertaining
to journalism, but Of being the leader
as it were Of the Republican party
We do not know what cause it has fol
| the spleen and irritability which 1t eX-
lhibitS and has exhibited for a long
time against every public man Of any
prominence in the State, but the facts
of the case show that it has done So
The moment that Senator Howe came
to the surface after his attack on Pres
ident Hayes, in which he received the
worst of it, the Sentinel was ready to
bat him over the head and keep him
down. Then somebody said that ex-
Gov. Washburn would make good
Senator to succeed Howe, and the IL
luStrious light Of Wisconsin journal
ism hasn't found a dictionary that con
tains all the bad things it wants to say
about Washburn. The same may be
said in its course towards keyes. Men
that have known the eXBoss for years
say that he is q fair, honest, upright
man to deal with, but is what is term
Ell "a fgurer." He has long and lev
ell head and when anything is wanted
he goes to work to get it on principles
OF common sense. lie understands
human nature and plays on it's various
chords. That there is anything bad
about him, socially, morally or polit-
ically, except that he is q shreWd tao
tician no fair minded person, knowing
him would claim, but the Sentinel has
made many of it's readers believe that
MI. Keyes is either the Devil himself
or his best man. Now what is the
reason for all this? Why, merely be-
cause the Sentinel thinks these men
stand q fair chance Of being elected to
the United States Senate and it wants
Matt Carpenter to occupy that position.
1t is his organ, that is all, and Of
course can see no good in any man
but him. But it is rather small bust
ness for the leading journal in Wis
cOnsin' to gain it's point by belittllng
all other men, isn't it?
What the Herald says in the above
article about the Sentinel is all true,
but it is not all the truth. The Se12ti-
mel does even more and worse than
what the Herald says. There is
scarcely q noted Republican in or out
Of Wisconsin who escapes it's vituper-
alton and lash. And if there is any
Republican in the United States who
would be likely to be thought Of by
large numbers for a candidate for
President of the United States that it
does not attack and Witty we sh ould
like to know who he is.

was constructed to Bismarck.

was constructed to Bismarck. Not
long after Jay Cooke failed and the
construction Of the North Pacific was
suspended and has not been recon-
menced. The Wisconsin Central from
Menasha to Ashland was then being
constructed and to hurry it work was
being done on the Ashland as well as
the Menasha end. The road was COM
pleted from Ashland to the High
Bridge, as it was then called, a noble
iron structure 1900 to 1900 feet. long
and 105 feet high-One Of the noblest
bridges in the world. The excursion
party to the number Of 1875 to $50 went
to this bridge on construction cars and
many of them walked over it. AT that
time Ashland was prosperous and
claimed to have about 1900 inhabi-
tants. But after that Ashland had it's
reverses, and did not revive till after
the Wisconsin Central was completed.
Now Ashland has about 500 inhabi-
tants.
We are sorry the Freeman did not
speak more particularly of Bayfield,
which, as we'll as Ashland, was visited
by the editorial excursionists Of 1878.
We should like to hear the present
number of it's inhabitants and it's pres
ent prosperity: And also whether the
railroad to connect Ashland with the
North Pacific will go through Bayfield,,
or Superior, or neither Of them. But
without this information we are thank
full to the Freeman for the informal
ton it has given.

OPENING OF THE SUTRO TUNNEL.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 9.

About II o'clock last night q connec-
ton was made between the tunnel and
the 1850 foot level of the Savage. A
strong draft of air at once poured into
the mine, blowing out the miners Ian
terms and filling the Savage drift with
dust and gravel. The Sutro people en-
tered the Savage works from the tun-
mel and q general jollifcation ensued.
SUTRO, New, July g..
A connection between Sutro Tunnel
and Comstock Lode was made last
night. The air sweeps through in
powerful currents. The mine is quite
hot now, but will soon cool, most i'm
portant event to mining interests. 1t
will give new lease of life to Com
stock Lode and minis. The product
of hundreds of million dollars of bull
lion, from low grade ore alone, are
now valueless on account Of the eX-
pensive mode of mining.
