The White City.

Our editorial position has afforded
US the privilege of an extended exam
ination of the various publications
which are being issued relative to the
Worlds Columbian Exposition and
we take much pleasure in commencing
TO our readers valuable and complete
work on the subject entitled "The
White City," published by the Chica-
go World Book Co.
While large number of our citizens
will be permitted visit to the Expo
sition, many cannot remain longer
than few days; but even though a
month is there spent, our knowledge
of its wonders is necessarily limited.
The architectural display is msgnifi.
cent; the mechanic has exceeded our
greatest expectations; natures store
is greater than we had dreamed, and
every department is replete with won
ders transcending the ordinary com.
prehension. If our minds we're only
strong enough to retain = practical
knowledge of those features which
are within the range OF our under
standing and observation, happy would
we be, but even this is beyond the
pale of possibility; to obviate this diff.
ficulty and bring to cur memories
what we saw, and to become convers-
ant with those innumerable things
which we had no time to see, is one
of the objects of this magnificent pub
| LEGATION.
The originators of this work have
spared neither time nor money In Its
preparation and publication. They
have secured the assistance of thirty
well.known authors, and equally as
we'll qualified assistants in the other
departments of the work, and we
cordially indorse it as most worthy
and valuable publication.
Great care is evinced in the histor-
ical department; much thought and
artistic skill is shown in the illustra-
lions, and the entire work is beyond
adverse criticism.
The contents of the State volumes
possess educational features of rare
merit; foreign countries are illustrat-
ed; histories of a number of the States
appear for the first time, and, in fact,
1.-THE White City" is to-day without a
competitor in the great field which it
occupies.
Words but feebly express the true
nature of this remarkable publication
and only personal examination will
convey an adequate idea of its magui-
| tude and worth.

Wisconsin Weather Crop Bulletin.
MuwAUKEE. Aug. %. 1893.

MILWAUKEE, aug. ~, 1870.
Frost was quite general and heavy
this morning throughout the state
except on the coast line, and the dam
age to cranberries and tobacco must
be considerable. Frost warnings were
sent out early Monday but lack OF
water in reservoirs probably rendered
it impossible TO flood all of the cram
berry marshes.
A little corn has been cut. but
most. fields are still soft and will re-
quire ten days to two weeks yet to
ripen. Hence it is likely that some
fields were harmfully touched by the
frost this morning.
In the northwest counties the con.
dition of corn, potatoes and pastures
was much improved by rain, but even
there more is needed, and the greater
part of the state has not had enough
to improve the rather poor condition
of late crops.
Early pieces of tobacco are being
rapidly put into the shed. The aver
age yield will probably be light, and
there is much doubt if the late fields
properly mature, as conditions seem
to be favorable for early and heavy
frosts.
Many have commenced their fall
blowing, but they have found the
ground too dry to work and seed. Not
much seeding will be done until after
rain improves the ground condition.

The Waterville Advance says: "The
able editor of the Prison Mirror has a
bald head. 1t has been our impression
that badness was indicative of early
piety." In this case the stale old chest
nut is apt. Had the editor continued
in the wholesome, pious ways In which
a good mother early taught him to
walk, he would not have required the
restraint of a penitentiary to bring
him to his senses. Walking in God s
highway he became wellto do and
prosperous till pulled up with over
weening self conceit. Then he tried
transit to wealth on the DEVILS reclin-
ing chair cars; self-satisiied that his
own smartness would enable him to
put on the brakes in time to avert
disaster. But neglecting all danger
signals, he ran into an open switch
and ditched his train. Lying crippled
in the ditch, with the wreck piled on
top of him, he has yet the courage to
wave the danger signal in the faces of
others who are skeduled on the same
track Prison Mirror.

The last Quarterly Conference for
the present year was held in the
Methodist church last Friday, Rev.
E. Bradford Jr., the Presiding Elder
in the chair. Great qualification was
expressed by all present that Mr.. Brad
ford, who has been so long an invalid
was so far recovered as TO be able to
resume his official work. Next Sab
bath morning after the sermon the
Sacrament of the Lords Supper will
be administered by Rev. Mr.. Evans.
1t WAS earnestly desired by the official
members present that the arrange
ment by which Mr.. Evans has supplied
the pulpit of the church for the past
few months might be continued for
the coming year, but Mr.. Evans feels
sufficiently recovered to take regular
work again and a new pastor will
probably be appointed at the annual
conference.

"Waiting for the Verdict"


Is the title of popular novel, and
may be interesting to read of, but is
very unpleasant in practice. The
Judge and court off ,ers get weary
waiting for the jury to come in, but
the strain comes hardest on the pris
oner at the bar, on trial, it may be,
for his life. Whether he shall be free,
suffer long term in prison walls or
take leap into the great unknown
depends on the verdict, and he waits
for it in such alternate hope and fear
as cannot be described. The Burling.
ton Route has long since passed the
point of waiting for the verdict-that
has been rendered by the public, and
is to the effect that it has the smooth
est track. the finest equipment. makes
the best time and of right is the fav-
orite route North, South, East and
