The vote upon the proposition to
give the lands owned by Marathon
county in aid of the Milwaukee Lake
Shore & Western railroad, was carried

Central road went solid against the
proposition.
The rumor that Russia will prevent
the future expectation of grain is again

the unfavorable crops of this country,
this action on the part of Russian
Government is looked upon as likely

called upon to supply the markets
heretofore supplied by Russia.

sessed by the food, and having large
