A FARM OR A FACTORY.

When you buy a farm, or build a fac
tory, it is natural to consider all condi-
tons, and to locate to the very best ad-
vantage. In the northern portion of
Wisconsin their lies vast stretch of I'M
developed, or partially developed coun-
try, which is awaiting the settler and
manufacturer to turn it into productive
ness and wealth.
Thousands of acres Of rich lands COW
cred with fine hardwood timber are open
to the settler, who can obtain us much as
he desires at very reasonable figures and
upon easy terms Improvements, such
as school houses and roads are being
pushed and ten years Of progress will
make an astonishing change
The earth's rich deposits of iron ore
clay, kaolin and mari, together with
hardwood timber, easily supply the wants
of the manufacturer and offer fine in
ducement for the location of a plant or
factory.
The Wisconsin Railway Co. running
through this rich timber and mineral
belt, has opened it to the world by offer
ing quiclz and cheap transit to the prin-
cipal markets of the country.

AsToR TO WE'D.

New York-A special to the Journal
and Advitiser from London says:
1t is generally believed that the act Of
Mr.. Astor in becoming British sub
ject will be followed before long by the
announcement Of his engagement to
Lady Randolph Churchill, formerly Miss
Jennie Jerome OF New York.
Having been naturalized under the
general act Of 1870, MIR. Astor's children,
Waldorf Astor, John Jacob Astor and
Miss Pauline Astor-automatically be-
come British subjects also.
Mr.. Astor originally intended to OBJ
tain naturalization by means of spec
ial act of parliament, but was warned
that such procedure was very unusual
and would in all probability evoke oposi-
ton. His application, therefore. pro-
ceeded in the regula: manner Of petition
ing the homo secretary, setting fort.,
that he had resided in the united king
dom for five years and desired to become
British subject and intended to reside
in England.
He paid the following fees: Twenty
five dollars on receiving the certificate Q
of naturalization, $3.50 for a copy OF the
certificate, 80 SO for his registration, $50
in counsel fees; total. $50.
Forty three other persons we're in the
list with Mr.. Astor, nearly all OF them
being German, Russian and Polish Jews
There we're no other Ameriesns The
only other name OF prominence was
that of Miss Alice Charlotte De Roths-
child, daughter Of Lord Rothschild.

FRUIT COMBINE.

Denver-Ths first effects OF a COM
binHtion among fruit commission deal
ers will be felt IN Denver today. Prices
for all the fruits sold here eventually
may be regulated by. lie combination.
The Denver Fruit and Produce Auction
company is the style of Denyer's fruit
exchange. The object OF the combina-
ton is to equalize prices and to prevent
cutting. Stock of the Auction company
is issued to the amount OF $4,000. taken
by the leading commission houses on
Market and Blake streets. Each day
members Of the Auction company will
meet, when the carloads OF melons and
other fruit consigned to them will be
sold by auction, as Is done in Eastern
cities. Prices for the goods which will
be followed by each house, will then be
adjusted according to the market con-
ditions. AS the California fruit season
is practically over when Colorado and
Eastern fruit commences to arrive, no
attempt will be made to handle it this
season. Watermelons and cantaloupes,
which are coming to the heighth OF
their season, are to be handled first.
Hereafter, msmbers Of the exchange
will sell watermelons by the pound, in
stead OF by the piece. Cantaloupes will
probably be sold in the same way.
The price for watermelons sold by the
combination today is uniformly three
quarters Of a cent per pound. II the
auction plan is successful with melons
other fruits will be handled in the same
manner.

WAS NOT KILLED
as aoas at First Reported-Ter-

the Terrible Disaster.

One of the most disastrous wrecks In
the history of the RioGrande Western
railroad occurred at II O'Clock last night
about eight miles this side OF Green
River near Solitude, Utah.
A cloud burst In the early evening
washed out the roadbed making a
chasm across the track about 25 feet
deep and 80 feet wide.

1874, fruit train loaded With California
fruit, running at high rate OF speed,
plunged into the abyss without mo-
ments warning. The engine went down
about one half OF the cars piling them
selves on the top OF it. The engineer
and fireman are under the wreck and no
doubt were killed outright, but the rest
OF the crew so far as can be learned we're
uninjured, being at the time in the
Gaboose.
Frank McMann, the engineer OF 1874,
was AZ years old and had been an en-
gineer about IA years. He has been a
resident of this city five years and came
from Leadville, where his beloved wife
lies buried. Quite number Of his rela-
tives resides in Leadville. He was very
rendered hearted and only few years
ago adopted Agnes Meyers, now Agnes
McMann, and sent her away to school
at Fresno, California, for term OF years.
Those who knew him best say he was q
very methooical man and vary particu-
lar in every detail 80 that 1t was no fault
Of his that the wreck occurred.
He died consistent Roman Catholic,
the faith Of his mother. To be indepen-
dent was one Of his desires and his min
ing property in Cripple Creek promises
to be shippers in the near future and he
made the remark that by tho coming
Christmas he expected to retire from
active railway life and take up his future
home In California. His life was heavily
insured but the benefIciaries are not at
this time known. Popular, brave, true
tender-hearted MoMann is no more, but
the monuments Of human kindness that
he erected during life will make his
memory sweet.

THE SUMMERS OUTING.

During these long evenings Of fall

for the bright warm days of summer,
coming bye and bye, when Nature

and decks herself in green Of field and
flame Of flower, appropriate dressing
for her milder mood.
Plans made in advance are most apt
to be realized and be as fruitful of re-
suits as expectancy painted them. IL

The Magyar Moon.

There is no people in the world
which has not yet achieved its indie
pendence that loves liberty and ma
tiOnalism more intensely than the
Magyars of Hungary. In his Throne
Makers" William Roscoe Thayer
dwells upon the spirit which is univer-
sal among them. Like any Magyar
patriot, Kossuth could count on one OF
the most powerful of allies-the race
hatred between his cOuntrymen and
the Austrians. In the Magyar Ian
guage the very word German" signi-
fled vile, base, despicable. There was
n Magyar proverb to the effect that
German is the only language God
does not understand" The proprietor
Of Hungarian theater once produced
what he considered fine piece of seen
cry, in which was represented full
moon with a round, fat, clean shaver
face. When it rose, the audience
Kissed and shouted: Down with the
German moon." The manager took
the hint. Next night there rose a
swarthy-cheeked black-mustached orb.
Hurrahs burst from every mouth, and
all cried: Long live our true Mag
var moon"

A QUICKSILVER FOUNTAIN.
Household Flatirons Float Lightly on
Its Surface.

Probably the most ingenious, not to
say expensive, fountain ever devised is
to be seen in operation daily in the
Queensland section of the Greater Brit
ain exhibition, Earl's court. 1t has
taken a clever young engineer, Charles
Bright, f. r. S. E., over three months
to overcome the difficulties of produc-
ing anything like an appreciate effect
on the public eye Quicksilver or mer-
curry is very difficult mineral to deal
with. 1t is tremendously heavy, being
at least four times heavier than water,
has q peculiar quality of disappearing
anywhere and everywhere on the
slightest provocatiOn, and is SO expen-
sive that few can indulge in so inter
esting luxury as quicksilver cas-
cade. The metal in the Earls court
fountain falls from an upper bowl, four
feet in diameter, to a basin seven feet
below. Both of these basins, as well
as the ornamental supporting pillar.
are constructed of iron, painted dull
black to neighten the effect. Owing to
the great cost of the mercury (2s. Cd
pOund) one of the main problems was
to devise the apparatus so as to get rid
of any possibility Of waste. Hence,
anything like Niagara falls of mercury
was out of the question. The top
bowl is, in fact, not bowl at all, but
table, with sixty-fOur small channels
Tadiating from the center TO the out
ward edge From the center the
quicksilver is thus distributed evenly
over the edge, and drops in silvery
streaks into the basin below, where,
curious to relate, two household Hat
irons float about as airly as If they
were ducks on millpond-a striking
object lesson, proving the wonderful
density of the liquid. From the lower
bowl there is Il drain-pipe. eighty feet
long and one inch in diameter, which
conveys the mercury to tank at a
slightly lower level, forming the sup
ply to an elevator apparatus for pro-
viding the necessary head OF mer-
curry. The form of elevator adopted
consists of a number of small, thickly
set steel buckets freely suspended at
intervals on an endless bicycle chain,
which is conveyed through the storage
tank. AS each bucket dips into the
latter, a fitting device insures it pick
ing up all the mercury which it will
conveniently hold. The buckets are
then carried upward TO a reservoir
tank some fourteen feet above, where
each in turn, by means Of similar
fitting arrangement, is emptied. From
this upper tank the mercury is con-

QUALITY AND NEWS.
FAME AND EXCELLENCE ARE
DETERMINING FACTORS IN
SUCCESSFUL DEVELOP
MENT.
One of the Important Functions of
High-Class Newspapers.

In presenting interesting phases OF
scientific and economic problems,
high-class newspapers frequently give
information of as great value in their
advertising columns as in those de-
voted to the publication Of the prin-
cipal events of the day; and when
the fame Of product is extended be-
yond its natural limits into foreign
lands, and a large demand created
throughout Great Britain and her col
onies and the principal seaports and
cities of Europe, Asia and Africa, 1t
becomes a pleasant duty to note the
fact and to tell of the points OF ex-
cellence on which SO great a success is
based. We refer to the now world
famed laxative remedy, Syrup Of Figs,
the product of the California Fig
Syrup Company. The merits of this
well-known excellent laxative were
first made known to the world through
the medical journals and newspapers
of the United States; and is one Of the
distinct achievements of the press. 1t
is now we'll known that Syrup of Figs
is an ethical proprietary remedy, ap-
proved by the most eminent physicians
everywhere, because 1t is simple and
effective, yet pleasant to the taste and
acceptable to the system, and not only
prompt in its beneficial effects, but
also wholly free from any unpleasant
after-effects. 1t is frequently referred
to as the remedy of the healthy, be-
cause it is used by people who enjoy
good health and who live we'll and feel
we'll and are we'll informed on all SUBJ
jects generally, including laxatives.
In order to get its beneficial effects, it
is necessary to get the genuine Syrup
Of Figs, which is manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co. only.
