.sLand Of the sky"

In Western North Carolina, between the
Blue Ridge on the east and the Alleghanies
on the west, in the healthful valley of the
French Broad, two thousand feet above the
sea, lies Asheville, beautiful, picturesque
and world-famed as one Of the most pleasant
resorts in America. It is land Of bright
skies and Incompatible climate, whose
praises have been sung by poets, and whose
height have furnished subject and inspira-
ton for the painters brush. This is truly
the Land Of the Sky" and there is perhaps
no more beautiful region on the continent to
attract pleasure tourists or health seekers.
Convenient schedules and very low rates to
Asheville via Southern Railway.

Twain ut the Telephone.
While living at his home at Hartford,

in the composition of some humorism from
which he expected good deal, when he was
called to the telephone. He told the servant
to receive the message and bring it to him,
but in few moments was informed that the
party at the other end Of the wire wanted
him. Provoked at the interruption, Marx
went to the telephone, and, after "helloing"
for some time without an answer, he used
some language not generally seen in print,
but which was certainly picturesque. While
thus engaged he heard an answer in aston
ished tones and recognized the voice of an
eminent divine whom he knew very well.

CAN'T GET PULPWOOD.
Scarcity in Western Market Ties
Up the Combined Locks
Paper Mills.

Kaukauna, Wis, July 13.-[Special.]
"A visit to the Combined Locks Paper
company's mill shows this great paper
corporation at the mercy of natures ele-

chimes are able to run by steam, the 9th
er two being idle for want of ground
woodpulp, of which they are at present
unable to make pound, and are able
to buy only a small amount on account
of its scarcity in the Western markets.
They have lately secured a few hundred
tons at Sault Ste. Marie, but not for
immediate delivery, consequently are re-
strlcted in its usual daily production of
paper, which is fifty to sixty tons.
This great paper company is reputed to
have invested in its dam. rights and
buildings, with machinery, about $780,
OOO, large amount of which is repre-
sented in the water power, now almost
useless on account of low water. Yes
terday the water in it's millpond stood
three feet below the crest of the dam.

river and has a dam with twenty-five
feet head.
Ine present Water-pOWer conditions are
without precedent in the annals of paper
making in this valley, and but little re-
lief is expected before fall rains come
The Union Bag and Paper company

ENTICE VISITORS AWAY.
Duluth and West Superior Wage
War for Possession of
ExcurSiOniStS.

West Superior, Wis, July 13.--[Spc-
cial. This evening another excursion
from the West is to come here, and there
is to be another contest with Duluth for
the honor of entertaining them. The
last excursion brought here there was an
attempt to call off the fight over the
visitors and Duluth attempted TO get
the Superior committee to agree to
make no efforts to cntice the visitors
off the train if the Duluth committee
would agree not to entice them to stay
on to go to Duluth. The Superior COM
mittee, however, gave the Duluthians the
marble heart on this proposition for the
reason that when such an agreement was
made at the last excursion, the Duluth
men went back on it at the last minute
and Duluth got the crowd.
