! The LaBelle Wagon Works, of Fo nd
du Lac, has just closed the sale of 1900
wagons to one firm in Kansas City.
The G. & n. w. R'y has put water
pals, saws, axes and sledge hammers in
to the mail cars on its road, to be used
/ in case of accident to the train.
The managers of the telephone eX-

/ Between 80 and 40 representatives of
companies engaged in the manufacture
of barbed wire fencing, held a meeting
in Chicago short time since, which
means another monopoly, or combination,
which means the same thing.
Tits evident from the attention news
paper offices about here are receiving
from Adam Forepaugh that he intends
visiting Wisconsin with his mammoth
circus next summer.
The biennial session question is
arousing good deal Of feeling in the
legislature this winter The sentiment
of the state seems to preponderate large
ly in favor Of change from annual ses-
sions to biennial. Whether there is wisdom
in this"new departure remains to be seen.
Strong and cogent arguments can be adj
duced pro and con on the subject. But
it is clear that the people are anxious for
a trial of biennial sessions.
Carpenters and builders will find
something to their interest by consult
ing the advertisement of James Form
crook & Company, which appears i'll an
other column. This manufacturing firm
is prepared to furnish building material
such as window and door frames, castings,
&C., on short notice, and on the most fav-
orable terms. A speciality is made of
Beck Keepers Supplies.
-"Five members of the Lake City
Guard went to Watertown Tuesday after
noon, to attend the grand ball given by
the Watertown Rifles. They came back
highly pleased with their entertainment,
and are enthusiastic in their praises of
the treatment by their comrades of the
Rihes.-Madison Journal.
None know better than the Watertown
Rifles how to make it pleasant for guests.
We trust more of the Madison boys will
come next time.
-Four tramps, giving their names as
E. Fox, T. Fox, W. Reilly and W. Sim
onson, the three former claiming to hail
from New Jersey and the latter from
Milwaukee, were taken from the lookup
yesterday morning and brought before
Justice Halliger to receive their deserts.
Their sentence was 80 days confinement
in the county jail with hard labor. Two
more of the crowd, Francis Stratton and
Thomas Parker, stating to be from Mil
waukee, were discharged on the promise
that they would at once get themselves
outside the city limits.
The Sentinel promulgates the follow
ing:
| The Northwestern Railroad has in con-
temptation the running of through train
from Chicago to Marquette. The matter
has been under consideration for some
little time, and it is probable that the
intentions of the company will be carried
out. The advantage of this move would
be to reach Green Bay and all intermedi-
ate points between Milwaukee and Mar
quette three hours earlier. Under the
present system the regular passenger
train from Chicago arrives here about
noon and leaves again at SPIN. By
running through train the time lost
here would be an advantage to the towns
north.
