GOVERNOR UPHAM.

We returned this morning from
Milwaukee where interviewed news
paper men and delegates from every
congressional district III the state and
we are now thoroughly satisfied that
Governor Upham will never be re-nomi-
mated. He has very few admirers as a
successful Governor. The sooner he
drops politics the better it will be for
him. The editor of the Merrill Advo-
cate after attending the 9th Congress
sional district says:
eff the feeling against Gov. Upham's
denomination is as strong in other
districts of the state as it is in the Ninth
congressional district he will not get
one vote in the state convention. At
Marinette We never heard his name
mentioned only in derision.'
The same condition existed in the 6th
Congressional district which convened
in Appleton on Tuesday. What is true
of the Sth and 9th districts is also true
of others.

Condition of Trade.

Waiting is still the rule. Large hope
but still actual business explains the
strength of some markets and the
weakness of others. The feeling that
the spring of 1896 ought to bring larger
business will not suffice to meet ex-
penses all the season if the larger
business does not come. Thus far,
there is decided increase in the demand
for boots and shoes, secured by con-
siderable concessions in price. but in
other branches of business concessions
are made in vain or are not made.
Meanwhile it is encouraging to know
that one of the most important bust
ness interests has realized definite
Improvement. The insurance COM
panies of which returns are given in
detail this week, show larger business
and larger income than ever before,
and also most remarkable soundness
of mortgage loans and other invest
ments. The comparison of reports for
two years is in the highest degree
interesting to investors, and constitutes
strong evidence of the wonderful
recuperatiye power Of the nation in
spite of the general depression in
business.
As prices about Feb. 2lst, were, on
the whole, the lowest ever known in
this country, considerable space is given
this week to comparison Of quotations
in the most important branches of
manufacture, which show the extent of
reaction since the rise last fall. It is
especially noteworthy that prices of
materials have varied quite differently
from prices of manufactured products,
although in most cases the advance last
fall was commenced by extraordinary
uplifting of prices for materials. Thus
cotton is 27.9 per cent, higher than
year ago, but cotton goods average only
107 per cent. Wool is but 53 per cent.
higher than year ago, but WOODEN
goods are on the whole about per cent
lower. All such comparisons are i'm
pOrtant because they disclose some
thing of the grave dislocation of prices
which inadequate consumption and
combinations have produced.-Dun's
Review.

To The Long Rest.

With humble submission to the will
of the Most High, Mrs. James Demars
bowed her head in death at her home
in Biron Sunday March 18th. Dread
d1ptheria and its undermining power
laid hold of the frail form and mother
and truest companion has been taken
away at the useful age of 24 years.
There is left to mourn in the little
family husband, employed in the mill
of the Grand Rapids Pulp & Paper Co.,
and one child about p years old. Mr..
Demars has been surrounded with
more than his share of sorrow, having
had to bury an infant child only one
week ago, March 11th, which died also
of diptheria Mrs Demars maiden
name was Miss Rose Schank. Funeral
services were held in the Catholic
church Monday March 10th conducted
by Rev. Beyerle.
MRS. FRED HILL.
Mrs. Fred Hill, of the town of Sigel,
died at her home at $3.50 o'clock this
Thursday morning Of lung trouble. She
was the wife of an enterprising, well-to-
dc farmer who is quite we'll known in
Wood county. Mrs. Hill was sick only
eleven days and leaves a husband with
seven children, the oldest fifteen years
of age, the youngest two years old, to
continue the battle of life. In the
midst of happiness and the blessings of
home we find sorrow. 1t is appointed
unto each of us, once to die. Then
comes the judgment. The sympathy of
all acquaintance is with the bereaved
| husband and children in this their hour
of deepest affliction.

TERSELY TOLD.
(By E. r. Petherick.)


What the public does not really know
about us is what really does us most
harm OF good, as the case may be.
The more liberal a man is on the out
side, the greater becomes his idea Of
economy at home.
Trying to talk sense into a crank IS
about as profitable as boiling maple
syrup in soap-kettle.
Next to getting married, there is no
act of mans life that requires more
circumspection than buying horse.
Some people are considered proud
when they are simply bashful.
AS soon as a wife has occasion to ask
her husband for money mark it down
that the honeymoon is over.
Despite the efforts of preachers for
the past two thousand years, every one
runs to a fire when the bell taps.
Many a tramp would lay down and
die if it were not for a lingering hope
of bracing up, striking 1t rich and going
home to startle folks.
Advice is thing man will work
hard to obtain and consider valueless
after he has secured it.
\ woman's conception Of joke is
the only thing in which her intuitive
perception fails her.
The world never jumps to a sudden
conclusion that a man is religious,
Promise of reform in the future is too
often made of an excuse for greater
excuses in the present.
The constant desire for a change
which is implanted in every human
breast is one Of the most convincing
arguments that there is an immortal
part within, knocking at the doors Of
its prison house.
1t is just as easy to recall the pleasant
things that have happened in life as it
to think of the distasteful ones, and
much more consoling.
The only slaves that capital owns in
America are the people who are in
debt
The world seldom fails to estimate a
man properly, but it occasionally takes
a long while to get around to him.
The man who has no spot on earth
which he looks on as home is indeed an
outcast, no matter what his financial
circumstances may b., and comes as
near to the fate of Cain as modern
civilization will admit.
The easiest load to pick up and the
hardest to lay down is responsibility.
The highway to fame is never over
crowded, as the majority of people try
to 60 cross lots through the woods.
