weather and no torch-light procession APP
pearing on the streets, it was thought that

The Wisconsin hop crop has been
virtually failure this year. The usual
crop is from 5000 to 10000 bales: where
as this year it will barely reach 5000
bales. The crop promised very finely last
June, but subsequent dry weather cast
down the hop castles in the air, and
caused in many cases the complete fail
ure of the yield. Still the price paid is
nearly hundred per cent less than last
wear owing to the favorable harvest in
<other localities.
The republicans have thought best

dent of the Central Wisconsin Railway,
and one of the finest speakers in Wiscon-
sin, and Hon. Henry Fink. of Milwau-
kee, will be the speakers of the evening,
he former in English, and the latter in
German. Turner Hall has been engaged,
lso the band, for the occasion. AS this
i'll be the last meeting OF the campaign
will no doubt be rouser. Full par
