Prosperity.

A mans condition depends almost
entirely upon himself. Luck is but a
small factor to most men in attaining
wealth. Industry, perseverance and
good Judgment make the foundation
upon which a man builds we'll. The
first start in life of many of our great
men has been upon a farm. Opportu-
mites are as good at present as they
have been in the past. Fine hard
wood farming lands in northern Wis
consin adjacent to the Wisconsin Cen.
trail Lines are still to be had at very
reasonable figures and on easy terms.
Build a home of your own and be
happy.

Der tracts in northern Wisconsin offer
extraordinary inducements for the To-

some of the richest localities in the
state and afford the manufacturer eX-
cellent facilities for reaching the mar
ket quickly and at reasonable rates.

The Army Reduction.

Washington, Aug. l6. The mus
tering out of the volunteer army
raised in defence of the union against
the army of Spain practically began
at the War Department today, and
will be continued until the army
has been placed on II basis consistent
with our present relations to the
nations of the earth. Orders were
prepared today for the mastering
out of about $4,000 volunteers, in
Guiding twenty-five regiments of
infantry and about eight troops of
cavalry and five or six batteries of
artillery. The proposed reduction of
the army to the extent of 100,0 900
men will still leave military force
of about 10000 men, regulars and
volunteers available for all military
purposes. 1t is believed to be the
purpose of the administration to
maintain an army of 100000 until
all the pending complications with
Spain are finally disposed of.

SHORT, SHARP AND DECISIVE.
War Terminates Ragged Between Spain
and the United States. Only Three Big
Battles Fought.

War Terminates Ragged Between Spain
and the United States. Only Three Big
Battles Fought.
With simplicity in keeping with
republican institutions, the war
which has ragged between Spain and
the United States for period of
three months and twenty-five days
was quietly terminated Friday after
noon, when Secretary Day, for the
United States, and NJ. Cambon, for
Spain, in the presence of President
Mckinley, signed a protocol which
will form the basis of a definite trea-
ty of peace.
Within half an hour after the sign
ing of the protocol the President pre-
pared and promulgated proclama-
ton declaring cessation of hostili-
ties. Immediately thereafter cable
grams were sent to General Shafter,
at Santiago; General Miles, at Ponce;
and General Merritt, at Manila, sign
ed by the Secretary of War. The
Acting Secretary of the Navy at once
cabled Admiral Dewey, at Manila,
and Admiral Sampson at Santiago.
During the progress of the war
the administration at Washington
has been confident of success, there
by rejecting the confidence of the
people of this Republic. The admin
istration has received constant COM
mendation from the people. There
We're no days of gloom; save one.
On July 3 grave doubts We're enter
tained concerning the condition of
Shafter's army. But by midnight
all doubts were dispelled, and the
Fourth of July gave us assurance of
the success of Shafter and of the sue
cess of Schley.

Admiral Dewey Captured Manila.

Before the protocol could reach
Manila Admiral Dewey gave Gen.
Augusti an hour in which to surren-
der at the time of the last demand
made on Saturday. The General re-
fused to comply. The bombardment
which began at $3.50 a. M, was con-
tinued for two hours, and then the
Americans stormed the trenches,
sweeping all before them. Those
within the walls attempted no resis-
tance and was driven into the inner
fortitications, where the Spanish
commander, seeing that resistance
was useless, hoisted the white flag
and surrendered.
The foreign fleets watched the fight
with acute interest.

TRAFFIC IN WARsHIPs.
Uncle Sam and Spain Have Money,
and Competition Is Keen.

New York, March ia dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
Negotiations for the purchase of war
snipS are still in progress, the Spanish
agents having money at their disposal
in London. The only vessel which they
are believed to have purchased is Nc
Calmont's large steam yacht now in
the Mediterranean sea. Spain would
have secured the AmaZonas and Ad-
miral Abroenall week ago if the vote
of $50. 900 900 had not been passed Lieu
tenant Colwell had previously entered
bid for them. The Spanish agent made
determined effort to secure them, but
failed Brazil at first sought to sell
four ships, including the two coast de-
tense vessels building in France, which
are only half finished, but finally con-
Sented to deliver the AmaZonaS. pro-
vided her sister ship at Armstrong;
was included in the contract. These
negotiations were conducted b. Mr..
Henry White and the Brazilian min
lister, with assistance from the naval
attaches of each government. In ad-
dition, the O'Higgins is now the object
of Keen bargaining, and there is at
least one fine cruiser in a continental
port which is likely to be purchased.
Commander Willard H. Brownson,
the agent of the United States depart
ment who arrived here yesterday from
New York, has been besieged by ship
men and reporters. He says the re-
ports of the object of his mission are
incorrect, and that his errand is one
which he cannot speak about. Appar-
emily Commander BrOwnson is acting
as adviser to Lieutenant Commander
Colwel!.

FLINTs TORPEDO BOAT.
Argentina Did Not Want 1t, and
Uncle Sam Bought It.

New York, March 1.-THE navy de-
partment, in a few days. will be in
possessio, ot torpedo boat of the
latest and most formidable construc-
ton. which is nearly completed. The
boat is Improperly of Charles r. Flint
of this city. Negotiations have prac-
tically been completed for its transfer
to the government.
a few months ago Mr.. Flint placed
an order with Charles d. Mosher for a
steam yacht much larger than most
private boats, and to possess unusual
speed. Subsequently Mr. Flint bar
gained with the Argentine republic to
let that government have the craft for
a torpedo boat. The plans were altered
TO suit her new mission, and work was
continued.
Argentine decFaed later that it did
rot want the boat, and Mr. Flint again
became as owner.
The boat is to be a twin-screw, with
two engines of 1,200-horse power each.
She will be $50 feet long, five feet
draught AID capable of a speed of 81
knots. She will have accommodations
for q men.

Secretary Day in regard to the Pay
ment Of indemnity for the hunSarians
killed by Sheriff Martin in the labor
disturbances at Lattimer.
During the last of these conferences,
IL is said, the Cuban question came uE
casually, and the minister took occa-
sion to remark that he supposed. after
the American and Spanish boards of
inquiry had submitted their reports,
the whole matter would be submitted to
an international board of inquiry.
Judge Day is represented as giving a
negative reply To this the minister is
said to have eXcitedly replied that such
was the usual method of procedure.
and that the nations of Europe would
expect their sister power would be &C
corded that courtesy.
Judge Day is asserted to have re-
sponded that the United States would
determine the question of Spanish re-
sDOnsibility for the loss of the Maine
in her OWL way and without reference
to what the natiOcs of Europe might
expect to consider proper.
This IS said 10 have so angered the
Austrian minister that he forgot his
diplomatic training and used extremely
violent language to Judge Day.
If the scene took place as deScrib "a.
IL is said no other course would be open
to the president than to give the Aus
trian minister his passports.
1t Is inferred by those who are re-
sponsible for the story. that the matter
was subsequently adjusted 10y the min
lister making an apology, which induced
Judge Day to refrain from proceeding
TO an extremity.
This impression has been created by
the fact that inquiries at the executive
mansion resulted in the statement that
the president knows nothing Of The in
cs6ent
Baron Hengelmuller was absent from
his residence when called upon by 2
correspondent, and Judge Day declined
to discuss the matter.
