Deller, speaks boldly to TRIBUNE
readers in the advertising columns
this week, and means every word he
speaks therein.
Sulphur is much heard of in min
ing circles of late. Its conceded that
there are large bodies of this ore in
Southwest Wisconsin, and belief
that there will soon be demand for il
at remunerative prices is leading TO
ativity in securing leases of lands
supposed to contain the ore.
A REPORT that Thomas Lane had
been killed in mine near this city,
shocked many people last Friday
morning, until it was happily found
to be untrue. How the story started
is u mystery, as there was no accident
at the mine, where the supposed
dead man was found at work as
usual.
A LETTER from Phillip Lawrence,

Mckinley"
IT IS expected that the present
marshal and city clerk will be con-
tinued by the new council. J. j. Col
lins Is going to leave town and will
not be candidate for street COM
missioner. Ben Tonkin and M. j.
Burns, Sr., are mentioned for the
his years Of experience on street
work should count largely in his
favor.
OWING to instructions upon which
carpenters bid for the job of erecting
an amphithertre on the fair grounds
in this city not being understood
alike by all, the proposals submitted
last Saturday varied so in manner
of construction and material esti-
mated on that the directors We're un-
able 10 decide which was the best,
and no contract was awarded. Def
mite plans and specifications are TO
be prepared and new bids invited.
IT is always pleasing to learn that
young men reared among US maitain
themselves we'll in new fields. An
instance is Mr. Frank James, as APP
pears by the following exeerp from

THE Review Of Reviews is almost
indispensable to the general reader
who wishes to keep abreast Of the
rapidly developing international
questions OF the day. In the April

torial discussion Of the complicated
African situation. The mixed inter-
ests and motives of England. Russia,
Italy and France in the Dark Conti-
nent are clearly set forth, and the
editor comments briefly on Ameri-
cas- relations with Spain, our inter-
est IN the Cuban revolution, and the
present status Of the Venezuelan
boundary dispute. In addition to
this editorial treatment the Review
presents a remarkably complete SUR
yey Of the Cuban situation by Murat

Reviews records a months activities
in both hemispheres.
