NORTHERN WISCONSIN.
Once Land OF Romance; now of Wealth and
Happy Homes.

Over the fences, the barns, the
walls and the sign boards of the
southern part of the state the aggres-
SiVe advertiser has placed the signs
of his speciality, but over the hills,
through the valleys and on the waters
of the north nature has written the
word Possibilities. The traveller over
this northern country is impressed
with the beauty of its scenery, the
level grazing, forests and titled lands
the rolling country, or the rugged
hills that rear their rock ribbed tops
SkyWardS with all the strength and
Importance Of mountains, the
Shadowy trails of the romantic past
with it's memories of Nicholas PerrOt,
RadiSSon and Groseilliers, Rene
Menari and those others whose names
and deeds are told of in the quaint
old wording of the Jesuit relations
and who were the first to bring the
tidingS of civilization to this wilder
ness of the great future that nature
planned for this country when in the
boiSterouS days OF her youth she
heaved the rocks together andi made
these hills with all that lies beneath,
until when in the day of her progress
she had, by the hand she trained
uncovered their wealth and given it
to the world. Each of those accord
ing to the trend of his mind, Henry
+. WhitcOmb of Milwaukee, a man
who has had a vast deal to do with
the development of the great north,
once remarked to the writer that the
resources of the north were beyond
the computation of any man, and
that remark is what comes most
prominently before the mind of the
traveller as he goes back and forth
over the hills and through the valleys
of the still undevelOped country X x
But as one comes down through the
thriving towns of Rhinelander.
Tomahawk, Merrill, Wausau, Grand
Rapids, NekCOSa and the other cities
that have grown up around the mills
and factories, he feels that King Pine
is no longer reigning monarch and
that the wilderness is no longer a
wilderness. The once useless lands
he finds dotted with farms that are
bringing out of the soil a greater
wealth than ever the wOOdman
chopped off Of it. He sees the waste
places smooth with grass and the old
Stumpage green with crops and he
feels that here is future as great as
the future that lies beneath the hills
of the north or on the waters of the
harborS of the coast. And above all,
if his turn of mind is at all poetic, he
SeeSa romance growing up and living
in the great north as beautiful and as
strong as was the romance of the
past, made holy by names which are
low recorded in the old relations and
written in the names of the towns,
and cities that have grown up in the
wilderness and made it the land of
possibilities. Milwaukec Journal.

Ernest S. Cary, a son of A. G. Cary
of this city, was acquitted by the
grand jury at Milwaukee, last Wednes-

implicated by the testimony in secure
ing assignments of claims on the
strength of false atfidavitS signed by
old soldiers, the penalty for which is
a fine of from $1,000 to $4,000. or
imprisonment from six months to two
years.

people below thought that he intend.

OF warning was raised from thou.

down from the ledge. holding the
woman with his left arm, while tho
fingers of his right hand clutched the
