Wisconsin las come to be regarded
by those familiar with history and re-
sourees. as one CT the most desirable
states in the Union. 1t possesses ell
the elements that go to make up material
prosperity. A healthful climate, an
excellent water supply, q fertile soil, and
vast forests of timber and deposits OF
mineral. 1t is attracting attention and
bringing settlement from many other
states and from foreign countries.
Lands are rapidly being taken up and
purchased q the northern and western
parts of the state, which have heretofore
been considered undesirable. Manufact-
uries are being established in all sections
of the state, most of the older villages
and cities are growing, and many new
ones are springing up. Our attention
has been called recently to some figures
in regard to the state and its
population.
No state, territory or locality in this
country offers such desirable opportuni.
ties to Industrious home seekers who
want good farms as does Wisconsin. It
has over 34,OO0,O 900 acres of land surface
and over 100000 acres OF lakes. Il
has 100000 acres in farms of the
most productive character; it has $500
miles of railroads which traverse every
county in the state md under its Law
corporations pay approximately 81, 5OO,-
0G0 year into the state treasury, thus
lessening taxation upon the industrial
classes. There ara 106 Incorporated
cities with populations ranging from
5000 to $4,000 each, in Wisconsin. Its
state government costs less per capita
of population and less per $1,000 OF
assessed valuation than any other state
in the Union. Its actual population in
1895 was 1,937,915, according to the
state census. Its agricultural products
are worth over $200,OO0,0OO and its
manufactured products nearly $500, 00O,
600 year. It's iron, copper and lead
mines ere enormous and source of con
stantly increasing wealth. IS State Jour

THOUGHTS BY REV. W. HAU6HroN-
There is an arc of one vast sphere
An arc time-measr~e mortals tread
And when, at last, they disappear
They touch the point where pass the dead
wonder If the starlight CLEANS
Above tneir silence or their dreams,
And as they touch the farther zone,
win they be welcomed, loved and known'
The zenith I've already passed,
And hasten down that arcs decline,
But hope will cheer me TO the last,
And loves dear hand be clasped in mine
The solemn change well might dread
Were not my Father overhead
What lies beyond, can not tell
IT'S His, not mine--all must be we'll.
All, me. will be Ioathe to part
With home and all love so much;
TO leave the friends so near my heart.
And yield my soul 10 deaths cold touch.
I'll answer when He calls, and then
Ill feel his heart-throb once again
why should lose my faith or doubt;
Can He who loves me blot me outs
When but child, instinctiyeiy
learned to trust mothers love;
And she was even kind to me
Will He be less who lives abovef

At Baraboo, last Friday, the d I'D
body of Albert Miller, who was buried
alive on Wednesday at the bottom of a
forty-foot we'll, was recovered. Miller's
rescuers worked hard all day Thursday,
and were at point where they could
hear his voice, the imprisoned man hav-
ing talked to encourage his rescuers
when they had succeeded in getting
near him. Just at the moment when all
felt sure of bis deliverance from his
dangerous predicament, second cave
in occurred, and sfiller's voice was
hushed forever. The rescuers worked
all night, and reached the unfortunate
man by 10 o'clock Friday morning.
The body was cold in death, the man
having probably been euffocated inn
nediately after the second collapse of
the earth above him.
