CHAPTER, III,

some lew of tls principal sights of Chicago, we boarded Chicago, Mil wuakee and St. Paul train for Milwau- kee. The very great thoughtfulness of the management, afforded Us the pleas urc of Il special coach to this and other points further On. We arrived in the Cream City about 5:S0 o'clock, Tues day afternoon. After and while wait ing forour clever secretary to make hotel arrangements, We arranged Il carriage drive over the city, which gave us an opportunity of seeing the handsome residences and beautiful lawns, owned by the rich folks" 1t was certainly d very interesting drive. We went to onee"f tho principal parks and enjoyed aglass of cool Milwaukee lager beer seeing. cnroute, the largest brewery in the world, capacity l,O0O,0OO barrels per annum, operated by Mir. Blatz. Scllitz is also there, and some of the hotels, parks. etc, bear these names, in honor of tho aforesaid citizens. Milwaukee is, in our judgment, ono of the cleanest, most beautiful, and con sequently most healthrul cities visited by us during our absence. It is but so miles from Chicago, covers II 600 acres of ground, has 2OO miles of inn proved streets, l50 miles of sewers twenty highway draw bridges, three stationary bridges, six railway draw bridges, fifty churches. thirty-one school buildings, a high school, a State Normal school. twelve banks, whose annual transactions amount to Sl, ,.,alO,- COG, 900, electric and cable street cars. fine hotels .and theaters, a beautiful lake shorV, aud besides the beer. con- sumes 2o,000.O0O gallons of water per day.
 | After the drive we went to the hotel selected by our able escort, Mir. ]. R.. lobe, of the Searcy Beacon. It's name is not significant of tic politics of the city, q, the distinguished Geo. w.. Peck. democrat, was recently elected mayor. The hotel was called the Re publican lIeuse." and while the name gave us unsavory thoughts of niger. . we were delightfully."- entertained, and enjoyed our stay very much. During the evening we had the honor to meet and congratulate the great humorist. father of the Bad Boy, and Mayor of Milwaukee, Hon. Geo. W. Peek. He is very clever and hospital gentle man, and extended the freedom of the city in graceful manner.
 Pressing business compelled Secre- tary lobe to return home frnm this point, but before saying goodbye, he was presented Il handsome cana by the members of the party.
 We left Milwaukee. "Wednesday, and arrived. about noon. at Waukcsha, the Western Saratoga laccording to the printed matter of the plaoe}. The party visited the principal spring and drank to their ihirsts content. of the coolest water we had ever known to come direct from the earth. The water \ was nice, but the party did not admire the town, and as cordial aud hearty invitation had been extended by Co.'s. Small and llurlbut to yisit Oconomo- woc as lhe guests of he eiy. an e,rlt departure was taken. We had an ex- cellen. dinner at Waukeslia and p,~,r shave. A citizen informed It's that the town was village, in fact the largest village in ,hc country; the citizens pre- ferring, as he said, n large village to small city. There nrc some II .Oo0 in- habitants.
