Expansion in Northern wisconsin

The wise poor man who bought
farm on easy payments, or the
wise manufacturer who erected a
factory in Northern Wisconsin 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. Or
portunltles 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
plentltude OF iron ore, clay, kaolip,
maral aud timber lands supplied the
wants OF everybody.
Transportation facilities are nm
e> celled. The wisconsin Centeral
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 "a great many do not know
why. The simple reason is that Mr.. Major
other manufacturers do not use them be-
cause they are too expensive and donot allow
large profits. Mr.. Majo tells us that one of
the elements of his cement costs 50. 10 a pound
and another costs g IS a gallon, while a large
share of the SO-called cements and liquid
glue upon the market are nothing more than
SiXteen-cent glue, dissolved in water or citric
acid, and. in some cases, altered slightly in
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 substitute you can depend upon
it 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 $4,000 a month throughout
the country. Established in 1876.
Insist on having Majors. Don't accept any
oHhand advice from druggist.
Ii you are at all handy (and you Will be
likely 10 ma that you are good deal more so
than you 1maSlne) you can repair your rub
Der boots and family shoes. and any other
rubber or leather articles, with Majors Rub
Der Cement and Major's Leather Cement
And you will be surprised at how many dol
ltrs year you will thus save.

be forwarded by mail; either kind. Free of

There is one sufficient fact which
bears on the question of a college
education for girls. It is that all
the American women who have won
distinction in original work of any
kind, received the old fashioned
training. College-bred women, so
far, have been successful only as
teachers. Is this because the wom-
en-, in one case was suffered to de-
velop naturally, like growing tree,
and the other was moulded artificial

A number of our people are work
ing energetically for a Fourth of
July celebration, but it seems prob
able that there will not be a great
many people here on that day. We
understand the labor unions have
voted to go to Ashland in a body,
while the base ball team will play in
Ashland and Bayfield, and a large
crowd will accompany them. How
ever, there will be a celebration
here, and those who remain at
home will have the benefit of what
others miss. Stay at home people,
and buy your fire crackers and
lemonade from the local dealers.

complete control of the governments,
national, state and municipal, that the
people are almost helpless Laws de-
structive to their interests are passed
through bribery and laws necessary for
their protection are kept off the statute

unfortunate condition it is necessary
that the people be given the power in
certain emergencies to legislate direct,
either by popular vote to put specific
acts upon the statute books, or to de-
clare specific acts already on the statute
books to be null and void This would
destroy the business of bribery, because
it would render the fruits of bribery

P. s. Who said we cannot help it,
there is no remedy unless it be in a
bloody revolution? And that we do
not want. Did you, my fellow-citizen,
who belongs to the toiling millions OF
this republic? It is true we do not de-
sire to have a bloody revolution il it
can be avoided. Z
Well, then, here is the remedy by
which to avoid bloodshed and prevent
a repetition of the Wardner bull pen
outrage and other occurrences of SINH
lar nature in recent years-here it is:
Dethrone the money power! by taking
the reigns of government out of the
hands of it's tools and henchmen-the
political bosses of the old parties, DEM
ocratic as we'll as Republican what
It the difference?), and thus bring about
a peaceful revolution by means of the
ballot! In other words, make an
earnest fight for the great principles of
the Peoples party and vote for the can
didates nominated by that party. and
be sure to elect them in spite of pluto
cracy's millions Of dollars.
In the peoples millions of votes lies
the remedy for all our social and politi-
cal evils.

presidential Year.:

During the present year everyone will be
particularly interested in the Presidential Cam
paign and vitality concerned in the result of the
elections. All conscientious voters will desire
to thoroughly understand the questions at issue
and to keep fully posted the progress of the
Campaign. This they must do if they would
exercise their suffrages inteIligently.
No paper will cover this ground better than
THE AMERICAN. Therefore it becomes of
special value during 1900. We do not say this
to those who already know THE AMERICAN,
but to you who do not, because you have never
seen it. We want you to know it, and that
you shall this is what we propose:
For trial subscription we will send THE
AMERICAN to any address until May list
for rs cents. This is considerably less than half
price, the regular subscription price being $500
per annum But we are convinced that once
you become familiar with THE AMERICAN YOU
will continue as regular subscriber.
