milwaukee, a Sc. Paul are located the most
extensive cranberry marshes in the West
1hero has been no rain for weeks, and
growers fear that they will be swept from
end TO end if fire is once COM
municlted to them. Along the Milwau-
kee a Northern forest fires are raging be
tween Coleman and Stiles. This territory
was burned over once before, and the pres
emit conf grafton is confined TO the under
brush. The most serious fires, however,
exist IN the heart of Clark and Marathon
counties. Advices received at the WiscOn-
SIN Central offices here are thst millions OF
leet OF standing pine are burned, thousands
OF cords of wood piled adjacent TO the rail
way track, many hundreds of dollars
worth OF ties, deserted lumber camps, $50
lated dwelling and much other property is
burned. Telegraph poles are burned of,
miles Of wire are on the ground, and com
municatiOn between Milwaukee aud points
along the Northern division Of the WiscOn-
SIN Central road is cut off except by the
railroad company's private wires, which
are operated by means of ground connec-
tiOns. IL is feared that other villages be-
side Spencer, that are III the way Of the
flames, may be swept away, unless heavy
rains fall at once and eXtinguish the fires.
On the l05h the reports from the Wiscon-
sin fires were 10 more favorable. Rain
had fallen IN several places but seemed to
have only temporarily checked the flames.
Colby aud Wausau were both saved by the
ram. BF1lilOn and KautOul, IN Calumet
county, are surrounded, and formers are
Hooking into the villages for safety. Acres
OF grain have been devastated. A dozen
buildings have been destroyed at Pen
saukee and Howard. Around Suamico
the terrorstTicken people ilOcked into
the village and found railroad CON-
munication cut of. a woman left her
babe IN her house and it was burned 70
death. Hundreds of people are homeless
in the stricken district. Coleman, Abrams
and New Denmark are in danger. Rain
saved Stevens Point after thousands of
bushels of cTanberries and millions OF feet
OF standing timber in the vicinity had been
consumed. At Sturgeon Bay the smoke
obscured the sun to-day, and vessels along
the coast blew whistles continuously, the
same as in the heaviest fogs. lt is almost
impossible TO navigate near there.
Reports from the Eau Claire pineries east
of Augusta and Fairchild say that much
valuable standing pine was destroyed
beyond recovery. and for its utilization IL
must be cut without de ay. This will
cause the cutting of tracts of valuable
timber in that direction that the owners
calculated to hold in reserve for seasons
TO come. Among the local losers is W.
II. Waterbury of Augusta, whose logging
camps and outfits, one hundred cords OF
wood, and two hundred Thousand feet OF
logs were destroyed.

There is quite a war cloud brewing be
tween Mexico aud the United States. An
editor named Cutting, publishing a paper
at Fl PasO, Texas. libeied an editor named
Medina who was publishing a paper at
PasO del NOrte, Mexico. Cutting toss his
ana circulated a few copies for which he
was arrested by the Mexican authorities
and put in jail. He has now been tried
and convicted and sentenced to one year
imprisonment in the p6nitenJiary and
fined 500. The arrest and punishment
Of an American citizen by foreign
country for an Offense committed IN the
United States Is arOusing a great deal Of
feeling, particularly IN Texas and there is
loud war talk in thai region. 10 IS under
