DISTRIBUTING AGENCIES.
Pay Tribute to Grand Rapids MonthIy-Who
They Are And What They Pay.

There is probably not town in the
state of Wisconsin of it's size that
enjoys the advantage of so many and
large manufactures, all within radius
of ten miles of the city whose officers
and many Of whose employees have
homes here. as Grand Rapids. Their
wages are largely spent here among
the trades people of the town. The
banking business of all these large
concerns is done here, SO the state
ment that they pay tribute to the
city Of Grand Rapids is fact. This
is stimulating the growth of the city
and surrounding country, and it is not
unreasonable to believe that these
superior advantages that we possess
over neighbOring towns, must within
a few years make of this the largest
business center in this section of the
state. To give residents and others
an idea of the amount of money that
is distributed here every month in the
shape of wages we have compiled a
list of the different manufactures,
tributary to Grand Rapids, and the
approximate amount of their monthly
pay rolls. They are as follows:

wbare Peop,e Drink Ether.

A curious vice has taken root in Eastern Prussia, where the people have taken to drinking ether. It is sold in the saloons like any other liquor, four or five e9ammes to the glass. In the town of Memel alone. it is stated, the amount thus sold last year was about S,5S0 quarts, and in reality twice this amount was consumed, the rest being brought in by smugglers. The effect is said to be four times more powerful than an equal amount of alcohol, but it's continued use produces intolerable suffering and incurable lesions of liver, kidneys and heart.

BRoUGHTON FOR TREASURER.
Announces That He VIII BE in the
Race Against Park.


Atlanta. Feb. 7.-Hon. William A.
Broughton, Mayor of Madison, announc-
ed this afternoon for state treasurer to
succeed Treasurer W. J. speer, who vol
UNFAIRLY retired from the race two days
ago.
He says that having been trained to
business details and cares, he has not
been quick to. make decision in a matter
that involved so much responsibility to
himself and which was of such grave con-
Germ TO the people of the state. Col
Broughton says he feels that he owes it
to the people TO state that he has by
education and experience, the qualifica-
tons that fit one for the discharge of
the duties of so important a place, and
points with pardonable pride to his sue
cess in handling the vast moneyed inter
ests of $1,000 farmers several years ago
as evidence of his equipment, referring
to his winding up of the Farmers Alliance
Exchange in this city.
Col Broughton has been in the state
Senate, and points to his record there as
indicating a continued interest in the
welfare of the farmers of Georgia, an
abiding concern for the upbuiding of th>
state military and a purpose to serve
Georgia by doing everything possible for
the advancement of her common schools
Col Broughton came to the city this
afternoon and held conference with a
number of friends at the Kimball House
at O'Clock, a the conclusion of which
he gave out the announcement of his
candidacy This will bring on a party
contest between Col. Broughton and

for Judge Reese to resentence Perry and
