 complete circle, and, ascending the tall, circular brick building, standing in centre, with natural light failing upon this life-likc painting of the greatest battle ever fought, one can almost ina zine the boom of cannon dread implements of war in action, mangled and falling soldiery and maddcncd cavalry Ii took 23 noted artists five years to execute the work of painting, at Brussells, Holland Visited the great Auditorium build Ing, said to be the highest building occupied for business purposes in the world it is 27O feet high, having eighteen stories, all occupied. From balcony on top, we had fine view of city and lake. Building was con- pleted in February, 1890. ground having been broken in January 1887. Permanent seating capacity of auditorium, for conventions, etc.. 5000. Building is also used as hotel, having over 100 large rooms, said to be unequalled by any, and it certainly should be, as it's rates for single individuals run from Si to S2j per day, for board and lodging. Snf- flee it to say we did not tarry but q few minutes-saye as invited guest to view its grandeur. Getting a per init we went on Change in board of trade building-hundreds specula. ting in wheat, corn, and all other principal products, surging, frantic throng hallooing at top of their voices i like mad men, in closing trades; our wife, who sat in gallery. asked Us if many of them were not crazy. and We promptly replied yes. Chicago is certainly great clty-now claims population of over a million. But enough of it.
 Monday night our party stayed at Milwaukee, the cream city, where so much lager beer is made. All kept duly sober, and our worthy leader, Secretary lobe, having to turn back editors presented him with handsome gold-headed cane.
 Tuesday we stopped five or six hours at Waukesha. the great sum- mcr health resort. It is very nice place of 5000 or more people, and many healing springs, but party did not much enjoy stay and hurried on, Forgot to say we had special car and could stop or travel at will.

Were given ire, entertainment and royalty treated 1t is one of the prettiest cities ana most fascinating resorts we ever saw nesting between two of the finest lakes of the noted Wisconsin region Went fishing on lake La Belle. with brothers Eakin. of Washington, and Wadley, of Hot Springs. Caught some fine fish Long will we remcm. Der this fish and how Eakin pulled for the shore when that thunder cloud approached-he don't lik' wind, especially the natural kind All fell m love with Judge Small ana his lovely home overlooking lake Ia Belle. For l2 years he was an hon pred Circuit Judge. May he yet live many years in happiness anC prosperity. It seems to us no on' could ever have cause to die al 0 Oconomowoc, one of the grandes places in Gods universe. No tray. eler should miss visiting this highly favored resort,
 Wednesday,, Thursday and Friday our car sojourncd at the twin cities St. Paul and Minneapolis, two hve growing places, of over 200, ,OOO pop ulation each, and jealous rivals-botl on the Mississippi river. All tool carriages and rode over both cities admiring the many palatial resi- denccs, parks, large business houses etc. While at Minneapolis vieweC the grand and great falls of St. An thony, in which the mighty "Fathe of Waters" wildly rushes over high, precipitous rocks, the foaming bil
 lows making it's bosom appear as il
 crested with snow. From here also
 went out to Miunchaha falls, an his
 toric place. Will not try to describ'
 grandeur and lovellness of scene herr
