Expansion In Northern Wisconsin.

The wise poor man who bought
a farm on easy payments, and
the wise manufacturer who er-
.ected a factory in Northern Wis
.consin q 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. Opportuni-
ties have not passed, by any
means. There are still thousand
of acres of rich hardwood timber
lands awaiting the settler as
we'll as the manufacturer which
can be obtained at low figures
and on easy terms. Good roads
fine school houses ard other i'm
provements are increasing and
civilization is progressing. The
plentitude of iron ore, clay, kao-
line, mari and timber lands sup
plies the wants Of everybody.
The transportation facilities
are unexcelled. The Wisconsin
Central R'y, a strictly Badger
State Road pierces the rich north
ern portion of the state, offering
excellent transit service to the
markets of the world. Those in
terested can obtain maps, illus
trated pamphlets, etc, by ap-
plying to W, H. KILLEN, Land
and Industrial Commissioner.

Savannah Teachers VIII Take I'm the
Big Convention.

The approaching convention Of the Ma
tional Educational Association at
Charleston Is arousing considerable inter
est among the teachers of Savannah, and
the indications are that qulte a number
win attend.
the National Educational Association is
one Of the largest bodies that meet in the
United States, and is doubtless the larg-
est educational body in the world 1t
has membership of over 10000, and the
convention held at Los Angeles, Cal, last
year had an attendance of 1900. Some
tof the Northern members may foolishly
tremain away on account of the fear of
thot weather, but an examination of the
sweather reports will show that the South
has enjoyed nothing but pleasant
weather so far, while the North has been
esteaming under torrid summer heat.
Low rates have been given by the rail-
sroads from all parts of the United States,
Sand il is probable that every state and
sterrltory in the Union will be represent
sed at the convention. OF the official
oToutes advertised by the railroads, sew
reral lead through Savannah, and il is ex-
epected that large number of the dele
ngates from the West and South will pass
nthrough Savannah en- route. Courteous
einvitations have been extended them by
1.-THE City Council, the Board of Trade. the
oCotton Exchange and the Board Of Edu-
scation to stop awhile in the city, and
flake look at an old town that is thor
Doughty up 90 date. II Is expected that
emany will avail themselves of the OPP
uportunity.
Many distinguished educators will be
present at the convention and almost ev-
cry topic of interest In the educa tional
world will be debated and papers read by
fmen who have made a study of the science
vof education. Superintendent Otis Ashmore
uhas been requested TO read a paper upon
1.-THE subject, Shall the Grammar School
ODE Eliminated" Superintendent Ashmore
tbs not particularly in love with his sub
sIJect as he is at loss to understand how
tthe grammar school could be eliminated
from the present common school system
Nevertheless 1t is safe to predict that
what he has to say upon the subject Will
be of interest.

THANKS OF THE CosyICTs.
Letter From Prisoners I'm Chatta-
hoochee Camps to Mrs. webb.


Mrs Richard Webb, president of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union.
has received a letter from two Chatham
county convicts in the Chattahoochee
camps thanking her and the ladies of the
union in their own behalf and in behalf
of the other convicts for the books and
other reading sent to them. Mrs. Webb
matter and particularly school books to
the conviets and that her work Is apPre-
ciated is shown by the convicts' letters.
H II. Wandell and A. L. Pitts have writ
ten to her from Chattahoochee as follows:
Dear Mrs. Webb: Your barrel shipment
of books and matter for use among the
prisoners at this camp was received with
joy and gladness by me last Saturday
evening. Your encouraging letter was re-
ceived Sunday. We thank you kindly for
the interest you manifest in us and pray
Gods richest blessings may attend you
and yours all your life. School is not run
ming now like in the winter months. The
days work Is more eXhausting in the hot
season and the nights are shorter, making
It more difficult to study to the same .ad-
vantage as in the winter season. But,
dear friend, it is truly wonderful the in
terest some take in acquiring a knowl
edge of the common school branches.
Gods mercies extend even to us, and we
have joyful meetings here which result in
a conversion every little while. Bless His
name for being able to come to a sin-curs-
ed place like this and cause men to shout
for Joy because He has set the captive
free. Free in spirit and serving the Lord.
God bless you abundanuy and cause His
face to shine upon you, is my prayer for
you and yours. Hoping to hear from you
occasionally. I beg to remain most truly
Yours to helm in the work"

FORGOT HIS OWN STREET.
City Attnche Made Fun for n Carload
of Wet Passengers


IAN attache Of one of the city DEPART
ments furnished amusement for a street
car run of people, an Afternoon or two
ago. The time was the middle Of tho
day, when many business men were going
home for dinner or lunch. The occasion
was the sudden and heavy downpour Of
rain that began at that hour on that day
The car was an open one, as. Of course
when rain is falling, and the passengers
had been amused by the frantic efforts of
those on the front seats to ward away
the water with holsted umbrellas The
city attache was one Of those in This pre
dicament and had been rained upon inst
enough to make him lose a portion of his
customary equipoise and forget when he
reached his street. The street was Hunt
ingdon and the car sailed merrily mast e.
The city attache arose i'm his wrath
why didn't You stop at Hall street?'' he
asked the conductor, in savagely indig-
nant tones
why, because we haven't come TO It,"
replied the blue-coated representative Of
the might and power OF the company
mildly, and rang the bell. The car
stopped, the rain gathered itself together
and poured with redoubled earnestness
and determination and very much dis
gruntled city attache, still convinced that
he had been imposed upon grieyously. de-
seconded from the steps, jumped some six
or eight puddles, and retraced his way in
the direction of the street on which he
lives. The passengers laughed.

on Friday night by the members OF Ian
drum Lodge to the ladies who assisted at
their booth during the recent Masonic
Fair. The ladies at this booth were most

gramme Of music for the occasion has
been arranged by Mr. Frank Keilbach,
who will be assisted by the Masonic choir.
There will be refreshments also The in

hundred, will be sent out probably to-

Telling Some Facts About The Mas
sachusetts Mutual Life Insurance

sachusetts MUTUAL Lihc
Company.
1t is the company behind the policy that
makes all the difference in the quality OF
your life insurance. Have you never re-
allied the true inwardness of this asSsr-
ton? All you have for the money you
pay is a written and printed document
and behind that is the management OF the
company Fortunately among the old line
companies, the actual indemnity is al
ways secure but this is not all there Is
to a policy. You are entitled usually to
participate in the surplus earnings of the
company, and it is this that makes the
burden of carrying your insurance gro"
less and less as time goes by, and your
earning capacity grows smaller. With a
policy in the Massachusetts Mutual. you
have a contract that has the protection
of the laws of Massachusetts, the best
laws in the Union, and all that could pc
wished for in its management. The Mas
sachusetts Mutual is the leading Massa-
chusetts company, having more lnsur-
ance in force than any other Masachu-
sets company. 1t undoubtedly pays
larger annual dividends than any other
Massachusetts company doing business in
this state. The verification of TINS
statement will be shown to any one sufii-
GENTLY interested. Talk, as we'll as print

to substantiate our statements and in

FOUR FOUND TO BE INSANE.
4 White Man and Three Negroes
AdiudEed to BE Lunatics.

\ White Man and Three Negroes
AdiudEed TO he Lunatics.
Four lunacy trials were held by a Jury
from the Court Of Ordinary yesterday af-
ternoon. and The four unforunates whose
mental condition was the subject of in
designations were found to be insane. and
their removal to the slate sanitarium at
Milledgevle was directed.
or the four tried one is white and three
are colored. The white man is joseph
O'Buen. who is rather wei known in the
northeastern section of the city, where
he has spent his life The colored luna
ties are Jeff Larkins, Eliza Cardone and
Josephine Fabian. In none of the cases
was there any disposition to violence on
the part of The patient, the symptoms in
air being a settled and uncontrollab
moodincss and dependency.
The removal of the lunatics from the
Jail, where they are now confined, to the
sanitarium, will be effected as soon as
possible. Up to a short time ago there was
no room az the sanitarium for the receo-
tion of additional patients and it may be
that the crowded condition that then OBJ
tanned has not been removed by the dis
charge Of sufficient number OF patients
TO permit the reception Of those from this

TEST THE MEATS YOU EAT,
Simple Process by Which Quality
May he Told.

There has pot been a general exodus Of
Savannahians yet for fhe summer resorts,
but the chances are they will begin to de-
part shortly. Visitors to the summer re-
sorts expect TO find something new, par

find it they are likely to be disappointed
Things they have been used to eating they
want when they get away, and if they do
not get too far from town they will have
their wishes respected. Logan supplies
many of the summering places about Sa-
Vannah, and II his customers go there
they are apt 10 be served with the same
delicious meats they had at home. There's
no trouble in deciding whether you have

WHO BROUGHT PRosPERITYs
Facts Showing That the Republican
Party Did Not.

Editor Savannah Morning News: Com
menting on the claims made by the Re-
publican party of having brought pros
perity to the country through the Nc
Kinley administration, you advance some
strong points to disprove it. The claim
is not only false but absurd to any in
telligent mind. In your argument it seems
TO me you have overlooked one of the
strongest and most important facts bear
ing on this subject. Up to the breaking
out Of the Spanish-American war; no
change was percepiible in the business
affairs of this country-matters continued
much the same from every standpoint.
In fact, 1 have often heard 1t asserted
that matters were growing worse, espe>
cially in the South. Now is il not a fact
that the war with Spain was the most
potent factor II not the sole cause in the
way of stimulating business of all kinds
in this country? Is 1t not fact that war
will disburse and float more money than
any other known cause In the same length
of time? l ask any reasonable man to fig
ure out for himself what the condition OF
this country would have been, had not
this war occurred. A spirit of extrava-
gance such as the people of this country
have never known seized upon the Repub>
ncan administration at once. Large gov
eminent contracts were given out, thus
opening up many manufacturing estab-
lshment3 that for a long time had been
idle. demand was created for every
commodity known to our trade Millions
were expended and are still being expend-
ed as a result of that war, and yet as a
matter of fact the under-classes are very
little better off than they were before the
Mckinley administration. l ask any man
reasoning on this subject to remove IN
his imagination every dollar expended In
this country on account of the Spanish
war, and then take in If he can, what the
situation would be with our people and
their business affairs AS for myself I can
form no other conclusion than universal
poverty and distress with the masses.
