Expansion in Northern wisconsin

The wise poor man who bought
a farm on easy payments, or the
wise manufactures who erected a
factory in Northern Wisconsin a 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. Op-
portunities have net passed by any
means. There are still thousands of
acres OF rich hard wood 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
plentitude of iron ore, clay, kaolip.
maral aud timber lands supplied the
wants of everybody.
Transportation facilities are un-
e> celled. The wisconsin Centera'
Ry., a strictly Badger State Road,
pierces the rich northern portion of
the state, Offering excellent transit
service to the markets of the world

THE NEW century came in very
uuortentaciously at the hour OF
twelve o'clock Monday night. A
great many people stayed up to
watch for it, but strange to say
they discoyersd nothing of an un-
usual nature. Old Boreas celebrat-
ed the occasion, and while he did not
make things "hot" for people, yet any
one who happened to be returning to
their homes at wee small hours" of
the glorious twentieth Century will
stand as proof that the old fellow did
his duty. The hundred years are
finished, and the first new year IS on
its way. Bat human nature will
remains the same, and while the
future is not plain to view still 1t is
reasonable to suppose that in a
hundred years to come our descend
ants will wonder what kind of moss
backs we were to get along in such
an announcement manner, with only
such crude and undeveloped things
to boast of as electricity, liquid air
and 'shot air." The world will con-
tinue to move as before, the only
material difference is that each year
one has to move faster and faster
to keep up with the great pro-
cession of human beings.

PERILOUs WORK In THE HIGH AIR
The Hazards Taken BY Men Who Repair
Church Steeples and Flag Poles.

The Hazards Taken BY Men Who Repair
Church Steeples and Flag Poles.
A remarkable series of papers en-
titled odd Adventures in Queer
Callings is being published in the
Saturday Evening Post, and the in
stallme Mt in the Christmas number
tells of the hairbreadth escapes Of
steeple-jacks. They are gathered by
Mr.. Forrest Crissey from the men
themselves. The article says "The
iourneyman steeple-jack in the en-
ploy of contractor usually receives
wage of five dollars day, work or
play, the year around. Employers
of steeple- jacks generally insist on
training their own men, preferring
to have their apprentice begin when
little more than mere boys. Lads
who are taken into the service in
this manLer are first put only upon
buildings of moderate height, and
great care is taken not to force
their progress to rapidly.
Zone of the main things persist
emily impressed upon his mind is the
necessity of never making an un-
conscious movement. He is taught
to be wide awake to the nature and
consequences of every step he takes,
of each gesture of his arm or turning
of his body. Scores of fatal acct
dents have, according to the men of
this calling, resulted from a failure
to observe, to the letter. this vital
ruler. In almost every line of work
physical action is, to large degree,
automatic; but in this perilous pur-
suit the worker who allows himself
to become so concentrated in his
task that some phase of his action is
performed unconsciously, is almost
certain to meet with accident.
Perhaps the most remarkable feat
of steeple-jack work recently ac-
com plished in this country was that
of-placing aud stripping of its wrap
pings at a height of 1874 feet,
twenty five foot wind vane statue,
weighing 1900 pounds, on the top of
the great tower of the highest struc-
ture in Chicago. To add to the
grewsome peril of the situation a
powerful wind was blowing from
Lake Michigan. Whenever this wind
shifted it's direction the statue,
mounted on double ball bearings,
whirled and carried in its circuit the
supports which held the steeple-
Jacks. The rigging of the latter
had, however, been constructed to
meet tbs particu az emergency, aud
the movements Of tae windyane did
not cause the daring workmen the
slightest trepidation.

OUR WASHINGTON ITEMS.

Senators who are known to enjoy
the full confidence of the admlnistra-
ton have begun to talk of the prob
ability of an extra session of the
next Congress on account of the
failure of important legislation to
get acted upon at this session. In
asmuch as the president and these
same senators were during the ear
ly days of the session urging upon
their party associates to strain
every point to avoid an extra ses-
sion, the present talk is believed to
be somewhat in the nature of a
threat made for the purpose of
lessening the opposition of a mum
Der of Senators to measures which
it is desired to put through at this
session Although it is not believ-
ed that the president or any of his
party wish an extra session, one
may be made necessary if they in
sist on passing some bills, principal
ly among which is the Ship Subsidy
measure, because opposition to
those may result in hanging up
some of the regular appropriation
bills. Senator Pettigrew has pub
Ideally given notice that he and Sen
ators Butler, of North Carolina, and
Allen of Nebraska, intend to oppose
every bill brought up in the Senate
as long as the Ship Subsidy bill is
pushed. II these three Senators
live up to that notice either the Ship
Subsidy bill will have to be dropped
or there will be an extra session, as
under the Senate rules it is ehsiIy
possible for three resolute men to
block legislation indefinitely, and
Senator Allen already holds the
record for speaking against time in
the Senate. Besides they are not
the only opponents of that bill in the
Senate.
