The Sentinel is engaged in the
commendable work of trying to
wake up the people Of Monroe to
the importance of establishing more
manufacturing enterprises in that
city.
The Richland republican says that
the report that the route of the
Chicago, Freeport & st. Paul rail-
road has been definitely located up
the Mill Creek valley is authori-
tatively denied.
Prairie du Chen Courier: Quite
number of citizens in this city are
going to give tobacco raising a trial
this season. Mr.. A. Bosch has a
hot house already in use to bring
forward the early plants.
'Sixty-fye cents bushel was all
that | got in GAINESVILLE, for wheat
brought all the way from Dane Co.,
remarked a farmer in the Times

Everything goes for tobacco. v

The tobacco fever is spreading in
this vicinity and quite a large acre
age will be raised in the vicinity
of Fennimore, Montfort and Mineral
Point. The cultivation of the weed
is steadily on the increase in the
eastern part Of this county, where
it has become the important CROP
Galena Gazette.
Last week James Mulhairn and
S. S. Ross went to Edgerton and
other points in the tobacco district,
for the purpose of obtaining infor-
nation regarding tobacco culture.
They found business booming in the
places which they visited and re-
port hundreds of hands employed
in the tobacco houses.
A marked advantage tobacco cul-
ture has over hop culture is, the
fact that tobacco, if not sold within
few moths after harvesting, be-
comes better if held and we'll cared
for by the grower, while hops if not
marketed within few months after
being harvested. lose large portion
of their value as an element in the
manufacture of beer. This is a very
important consideration. Richland
Republican.
Close confinement is at all times
undesirable, but most especially is it
SO in room that is freshly painted
and amid the fumes of the lead and
oil and other unhealthy odors that
proceed from the painters brush
and pot. Patrick G. Maloney, of
Washington. D. c., writes that he
contracted painters collie in a parlor
which he was painting, and was
cured by Mishler's Herb Bitters.
For cramps, collie, indigestion or
complaints of the bowels, liver and
kidneys, it is infallible.
We would especially refer our
readers to the new advertisement
of A. w. Rich & Co., the popular
and reliable dry goods merchants of
Milwaukee. Of course no one goes
to Milwaukee without visiting their
mammoth and attractive store; but
it is no longer necessary to go to the
city in order to enjoy equal shop
ping advantages with city folk, since
this firm issues an illustrated and
descriptive catalogue and price list,
whereby customers at a distance can
purchase by mail just as satisfac-
torily as over the counter.
Printed notices have been posted
in the various depots along the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
railway, giving the three sections of
the statutes relating to hanging on
or mounting cars while in motion,
by minors; the penalty attached is
fine not exceeding $25 or i'm
prisonment not exceeding twelve
hours; and the officers, agents and
employees who shall witness such
acts by minors shall at once give
information before a justice of the
peace or police magistrate, and
cause the arrest of the minors who
violate the preceding section. The
notice says that hereafter these laws
will be strictly enforced on the
Milwaukee road, so the boys catch
ing rides would do well to beware of
the consequences.-EX.
The Lancaster wooden mill started
up full force on Monday. The Herald
says: Like all similar institutions
all over the county the proprietors
of our mill have found it advan-
tageous to shut down during a por-
ton of the dull season rather than
stock up to heavily upon uncertain
markets. The mill has not shut
down, except to repair, for more
than four months altogether in the
five years it has been owned by the
present proprietors, and has never
reduced wages during that period.
The revival of trade in woolens will
again see the Lancaster mill running
overtime as it often has in the past" "
If Il wooden mill can be so success
fully operated in Lancaster is there
any good reason why one can not
