Expansion in Northern Wisconsin.

The wise poor man who bought
a farm on easy payments, or the
wise manufacturer who erected a
factory in Northern Wisconsin a few
years ago, when times were not as
prosperous as they are now, are
reaping their reward. Northern
Wisconsin is feeling expansion in
the truest sense Of the word. OPP
portunities have not passed by any
means. There are still thousands OF
acres OF rich hardwood timber lands
awaiting the settler as well as the
manufacturer, which can be obtained
at low figures and on easy terms.
Good roads, fine school houses and
other improvements are increasing
and cultivation is progressing. The
plentitude of iron ore, clay, kaolip,
maral aud timber lands supplied the
wants of everybody.
Trans portation facilities are I'M
ezcelled. The wisconsin Centera'
Ry., strictly Badger State Road,
pierces the rich northern portion of
the state, offering excellent transit
service to the markets of the world.

Broken Bric-a-Bracs

Mr. Major. the famous cement man. of New
| York, explains some very interesting facts
| about Majors cement.
| The multitude who use this standard article
| know that is it many hundred per cent. better
| than other cementS for which similar claims
are made. but great many do not know
why. The simple reason is that Mr.. Major
USES the best materials ever discovered and
other manufacturers do not use them be-
cause they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr.. Major tells us that one o:
the elements OF his cement costs So. IS a pound
and another costs g. 65 a gallon, while a large
share of the sO-called cements and lioui1
glue upon the market are nothing more than
siXteen-cent glue, dissolved in water or citric
color and odor by the addition of cheap and
useless materials
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents a bottle, and when dealer
tries to sell a substitute you can depend upon
II his only object is to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement,
And this is doubtly true in view of the fact
that each dealer gets his share of the benefit
OF Mr.. Majors advertising. which now
amounts TO over $1,000 a mouth throughout
the country. Established in 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Don't accept any
offhand advice from druggist.

SIX AMERICANS
 SHOT BY TORRES Texas Cowboys Will Fight Against Mexico May Cause
 Serious Trouble.

Dallas, Tex, January 27-A special to the News from Fl Paso, Tex, says:
 Reports from Naco, Ariz., today confirm the killing of George Lunt and Charles Burns, of Fl Paso. with six other Ameri- cans, by General Torres at the recent roundup of Yaqui Indians. H. J. Corbum, now here from Bisbee, Ariz., says that the cowboys and miners in southern Arizona and Mexico have organized and are pre- paring to invade Sonora and avenge the murder of the six prospectors. They will fight against the Mexican troops for the independence of Sonora and the Yaqui na- tion, and he is of the opinion that the con- templated movement would be crowned with success"
 The Fl Raso Times, edited by Captain Juan S. Hart, Cuban interpreter for the evacuation commission and a captain of immunes, will say tomorrow:
 ''The six men who are said to have been dispatched in Spanish style by Torres claimed to be American prospectors. They were by accident found near a Yaqui camp. No proof of any guilt has been 1leralded to the world; only the news of a merciless death to each, probably ordered by Diaz himself If an investigation of these facts turns out as reported, then Sonora may say goodbye to the Mexican republic. The history of Texas may be repeated Presi- dent Diaz should disclaim at once the ac- cusatton that his authorities have shot fn- nocent Americans in Sonora, and he should warn his authorities to avoid frictions which can only end by a repetition of the Texas invasion"

 THE BASE BALL SITUATION
Comiskey Will Not Take His Team to
 Louisville or Cleveland

-- Chicago, Janu8y 27.-President Ban Johnson, of the American league stated positively today that Comiskey's team would not play either in Cleveland or Louisville. This leaves good deal of mys- tery as to what team will enter Louisville If the American league takes it. Just now President Johnson is in a good deal of 0 quandary regarding the Louisville proposi- tion.
 Fred Clark today, in talking with MT. Johnson, insisted that Louisville was better ball town than Cleveland, and had the advantage of playing Sunday games, which is impossible in Cleveland. Then, too, it was pointed out that Indianapolis cannot play Sunday ball, which would al- low Louisville a lot of Sunday games at home.
 The Tribune tomorrow will say: "As Comiskey will not occupy either Cleveland or Louisville, it seems more and more as- strred he will start out in Chicago. Tom Doftus will probably have his Grand Rapids team in Cleveland, and if Louisville Is finally taken some other arrangement will have to be made to switch one of the pres ent teams to the southern town"
