Waukesha, famous for it's medicinal
waters, is prominent in point of attrac-
ton as well as famed for the marvel of it's
cure. Bethesda" the spring dis
covered by Colonel Dunbar, has proved
the bonanza of the place and is being
popularized equally with the Congress"
at Saratoga. The place abounds with
similar streams, and is properly termed
the Getty OF. Springs" Geneva has it's
lake with summer resort establishments,
but is properly suburban to Chicago,
while Ashland is laved in the flow Of
Superior, with Milwaukee resting on the
shores OF Lake Michigan, and Sparta, in
great splendor, is located in the interior.

THE C. NJ. AND ST. PAUL RAILWAY
affords transit and makes connections to
all places and as means of access to
the most desirable points, no parallel is
afforded within the corporations of the
country. In this connection we include
the most progressive railway system in
the world. Itknows no equal in mileage,
no rivals in management, and excites the
admiration of all. Beginning at Chica-
go it penetrates Dakota, embraces the
Chicago and Pacific, and intersects all
Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota. It's
business is immense, its earnings enor-

much interest and attracts general atten-
ton. AS a commercial point we may not

more solid. Just now we are ahead on
the pork question and are not likely to
take back seat In transactions in wheat.
Milwaukee is city of slow growth, but
she owns what she holds and GO owes not
any man." Situated on the bold bluff
shore of Lake Michigan, at the confu-
ence of the Milwaukee, Menomonee and
Kinnickinnic rivers, she commands the
grandest outlook, comprises the most
beautiful scenes and enjoys one of the
best harbors In the world. Sweeter

to be found. and in the attractions dis
played here there is sufficient for the adj
miration of all.
