Esch has quite a neat little "wigwam'
lastly stocked; Giffey had most tempt
ing display of confectionery and Hubbard
& Smalley had their velocipedes where
they could be thoroughly examined; Till
son & Schmidt displayed buggies and
cutters; 81. Stole and Spiegelhauer had
fine lot of plants on exhibition.
The Ladies Department was better
than usual. Here photographers pre-
sented samples OF their work and it is
safe to say that no county In the state
can furnish superior work. There was a
fine exhibition of what the writer thinks
is called fancy work. The ladies outdld
themselves in this line and are Justly en-
titled to credit.
There was quite fine display of vege-
tables, tubers and roots In the agricultur-
al hall, but the absence of grain shows
the condition Of the crop in the county.
The programme for to-day is quite an
interesting one.

DRESS TRIMMINGS!

If you ever have seen lot of hand
some dress trimmings, and thought at
the time that certainly nothing more
beautiful could ever be made, then we
wish to have an opportunity to show you
how one can be mistaken in ones conclu-
sions, and especially SO if our stock has
been entirely ignored during your inves-
LEGATIONS; for such brilliant assortment
of styles of braided and beaded trim
mings, and in colors to match nearly
every conceivable shade, including the
very latest, is actually something that no
other house north of Milwaukee would
think of buying, because of the great
risk in doing SO. We have the trade for
the finer class of goods and make it a
point to prevent, if possible, the necessity
of people sending away for any of their
goods; if then they still do, it Will not be
our fault. SCHUETTE Bros.

the potato tax he says: eff the crop in

tariff is no help to the farmers; if the
crop be poor the tariff is tax upon
them. I am farmer. Last year I did
not raise potatoes enough for my own
use because of failure of the crop. I
bought foreign raised potatoes and had
to pay the tariff tax. L don't want any
such protection.

The fire on Thursday last was in the
line of burlesque. Becker & Tietgen had
sold bell for use at the asylum. Mr..
Becker amused himself while on the way
to deliver the bell by ringing it off and on.
Some one heard the bell and thinking it
fire alarm yelled fire and started to the
engine house and soon all the bells in
the city were at it, while Albert redoubled
his efforts, thinking that now he had oc-
casion to ring.
A couple of horses bestrid by lads
made an effort to get down Eighth street
to the engine house. Eighth street was in
state OF beautiful confusion with the
water works trenches, and one of the lads
had glorious time jumping the horse
over the ditch, over the men over the
breastworks of earth. He belabored the
sides of the brute and yelled "get-aap"
which was ever signal to the horse to
proceed to jumping the ditch and crawl
ing up the mountain of clay. Another
boy stood a block away and yelled direc-
tions to Biscuit" which it appears was
the name the equestrian performer went
by. But Biscuit" refused to hear and
the horse declined to gallop and before
either were at the engine house, Tom
Windiate's white Dan and the villainous
old pony which Tom calls "Injun," while
insisting there's nothing in the horse line
like him, were shaking the fire engine out
in search for the fire. The south side
engine came tearing along in wild quest
OF the fire and scattered funeral pro-
cession to the four winds of heaven.
It seems to be one of the lost arts to
keep cool when there is anything like a
fire around. Last week large dwelling
house and barn were burned at School
Hill, Meme about IS miles from the CITY,
This is about the highest point of land
in the county and the glare OF the burn
ing buildings was clearly seen in the
city. The police officers found some diff
ffculty in preventing excited people from
ringing an alarm of fire.
Some years ago in Green Bay the
moon rose while banked in clouds and
nothing of it could be seen though 1T
shed lurid glow on the upper clouds.
1t had all the appearance of fire. The
bells were rung, the fire department call
ed out and after considerable running
and innumerable questioning OF where is
the fire? it was found that the depart
ment was out to quench the moon.

HOW MONEY GOES
The Vast Fortunes That Few Have
Accumulated or Inherited in
England.
An Indication Of the Condition in
Which Our Own Country VIII
Soon be Placed.
The Great Fortunes of England.

NJ. Vargny recently gave the French
public in the Revue des Deux Mondes a
vast amount Of elaborate misinforma
ton about the great fortunes OF this
country, and now in the last number of
the same periodical he writes With similar
inaccuracy of the great fortunes of Eng
land.
NJ. Varigny makes as his text remark
of John Bright, in pubtic speech Id
1866, that $50 individuals own half of the
soil of England, and that ten or dozen
have the monopoly OF the iaud of SCOT.
land. He also gives French authority for
saying that ninety, of whom xty-seven
are in the peerage, possess more than
$4,000 acres each, and seven more Ohsn
100000 acres, the Duke of Sutherland
standing at the head of the list with over
1000 900 acres. Out OF about ~ 600 0U0
acres in ali, the peerage alone possess
more than 100000 acres, yielding
$6S, 500, 900 annually, ana In that sum are
not included their London residences au0
properties, of which the value is enOr
nous, and in the cases of many the in
come is princely. OF these great urban
proprietors, Nj. Vsrigny names especially
the '.Dnke of Westminster, of Norfolk,
and of Bedford, the Marquis of Sails
bury and the Marquis of Camden, ana the
Counts of Somers, Cadogan, Craven and
Others" The rural property alone, ac-
cording TO him, yields to 955 proPrietors
a total revenue of 100000, or an aver
age of more than $4,000 each.
After the Duke of Sutherland he puts
as the greatest of land Proprietors the
Duke of Buccieuch, the Marquis of
Breadalbane, Sir James Matheson, the
Duke of Richmond, the Earl of Fife, the
Earl of Seafield, the Duke of Athole, the
Duke of DeVonshire, the Duke of Argyll
and the Marquis of Butte. Three of these,
the Dukes of Sutherland and Northum-
berland and the Marquis of Butte, he in
cluded in the list of the richest men in
the world in his former article, where
also appeared the Duke of Westminster,
proprietor of whole quarter of Lon
don, of which the revenue at the end of
the leases for long term will exceed
100000 a year. Among the other
possessors of great fortunes he enumer
ates Rothschild, to whom he devotes a
very large part of hls paper, and Sir
Thomas Brassey.
In all this there are many inaccuracies
as to individuals, but we shall only cor
rect his statistics as TO landed proprie-
torship generally. According TO the new
Domesday Book of England about two
thirds of Che land of England and Wales
Is held by 16,2l7 owners, of whom sixteen
proprietors outside of London were re-
turned in 1873 as either holding more
than $4,000 acres, or having estimated
rentals of over 100000 year They
were:
