1t is claimed that the recent action OF the
| city council, making the bridge free to Wis
consin farmers. will be reconsidered if the
city is not greatly benefited by such a

the board Of trade must show up the wheat
market they have been talking about for
the last six months or we will reconsider
the matter. The bridge was made free
simply as an experiment" Yesterday was
