GLAND SEEKERS, HELLO!<
Here Is Splendid Chance i'm the z
"Cloverland" of Wisconsin. Z


You want land. You realize that land is
getting higher priced and in greater de-
mand every year. If you get farm now
and hold it 10 or 20 years-even If you
should not make any money by farming
the farm will make you rich. A farm tribu-
tary to the cities of Minneapolis or St.Paul
in northern Wisconsin, will increase in
value faster than land in the prairie states
because of its nearness to market and be-
cause of its greater productiveness.
1t is hard for people who have never
seen that section to appreciate its wonder
ful growth of blue grass and clover.
Where else in America will you find grass,
clover and alsike spring up Sp0n-
taneously and cover a patch field as
you will among the hard wood lands OF
northern Wisconsin? The waters of this
section, the soil. the climate and all the
natural elements tend to make it an ideal
dairy country, and the markets near in
sure good price for products all the year.
Our readers will do we'll to write to ID.
w. Casseday, land agent Of the $500
Line, Minneapolis, and ask him to send
them printed matter describing that great
section for the landseeker.

ITALY GIVES US A HINT.
What Her Five Fast Battleships Could
Do to This Country.

What Her Five Fast BattIeships Could
Do TO This Country.
We are not accustomed to consider
Italy very much of a naval power; yet
the five battleships of 20 knots and
better that she has built or building
might make us endless trouble If we
were so unfortunate as to have them
against us. They could range our
whole coast, destroying everything
afloat except our battleships and our
fastest cruisers, and remaining them
selves in absolute obscurity. They
could cut off all trade between the Uni
ted States, Cuba and Porto Rico. They
could wreck the entrance of the Mic
aragua canal, If that were finished
They could go through the Suez canal,
harry our naval force at Manila and
rekindle the instruction in the Phil
ippines. They could loot our coaling
station at Tutuila, carry off our gov
ernor from Guam, as the Charleston
did to the Spaniards, and wreck our
trade with Hawaii They could devas-
tate our Pacific coast, ruin the shore
mines at Nome and capture the gold
feet from Alaska. No battleships that
we could send in pursuit of them could
catch them. The only things with
which we could hope to bring them to
an engagement would be our new ar
mored cruisers. and it might be that
these commerce destroyers without a
gun heavier than eight-inch, and with
only six inches of armor, but with the
all-important quality of speed, would
save us from danger before which
our ponderous battleships would lie
helpless.-New York Journal.

Rains In the Corn Belt.

Copious rains have fallen through
out the corn belt of the western states
after four weeks of drought and ex-
treme heat. In Western Kansas and
some other sections the stalks were
fired so badly that no amount Of rain
could revive them, but in Iowa the
corn is almost certainly saved from
further damage and will amount to 70
or rs per cent of an average crop. 1t
is estimated that the rain made a
difference of 100000 to the farmers
of Iowa alone. Nebraska farmers are
now hopeful of harvesting half a crop
or better and more encouraging re-
ports come from several states. The
rainfall has lowered the temperature
and pastures, fruits and all vegetation
are showing new life.
Notwithstanding the help of the re-
cent rains statisticians are figuring on
the smallest corn crop since 1894,
when the total product was estimated
at 1,2OO,OOO,OOO bushels. At the be-
ginning of this season a corn crop of
2,1OO 100000 bushels was anticipated,
but estimates now place the figures
around 1,70O,OOO,O 900 bushels. Corn
sold Saturday in the Chicago market
at 556 cents, the highest nOn-corner
price since 1894, and oats also reached

Long Enjoins Silence.

Secretary John d. Long has shown
good sense in his order enjoining all
persons in the naval service to re-
frain from any public statement con-
cerning the subject matter of the
court of inquiry requested by Rear Ad-
miral Schley. Admiral Schley's son,
who is a captain in the regular army,
has been interviewed at length in Salt
Lake City, Utah. He says that when
the court of inquiry meets he would
like to have the privilege of asking
Admiral Sampson just one question:
IF the battle of Santiago had resulted
in defeat, to whom would the blame be
attached?" The question is a fair
one, and many people will answer,
Sampson, the latter having been in
command of the squadron, and having
outlined the plan upon which the bat
tie was eventually fought. Probably
many people have forgotten that
Simpsons absence at the time of the
fight was due to following instructions
from the navy department in direct
ing him to go to Siboney for a con-
ference with the Major-General Shaft
er regarding plans for the Cuban cam

A New Story by Henry Van Dyke.

Henry Van Dyke is never so happy
as when depicting the rugged life Of
the wilds of Canada. He has chosen
this picturesque background for de-
lightful new story, "A Year of No
bility," which appears in McClure's
Magazine for August, in which he lays
bare the heart of a French Canadian
guide, one Jean Lammotte, who has
an experience with "a smooth prospec-
tor Of unclaimed estates in France"
Jean is certainly pretty good kind

hero, who plunges into several kinds

The Hyde Park liquor agency had
unintentionally-a bargain day recent
ly. Through somebody's mistake quart
bottles of popular brand of ale were
sold at 10 cents each. II is said that
the sick, those who had been sick,
wanted to be sick or expected to be
sick, came with bags, baskets and
barrows and soon exhausted the sup
ply Hardwick Gazette.
This is the agency which furnished
to one juror deliberating on an assault
case 80 bottles of beer, and to another
juror at the same time pint of whis-
key, according to the information
given to the Morisvinc Messenger by
the states attorney. The Hyde Park
agency is evidently a font of joy to
the bibulous bipeds of LamOille county.
By the way the states attorney has
not explained his neglect to bring ac-
tion against this agency for furnishing
liquor for the jurymen, and Judge Mum
son has not told why he failed to pun
ish the alleged debauchees with con-
tempt of court proceedings.

Cresceus is now king of trotters, hav-

ord of 2.04 and the worlds trotting
record of 2.O31l held by The Abbott.
Cresceus's mile in 2.O2% over thetrack
at Cleveland, Ohio, Friday was made
within few hours after heavy show
ers and not under particularly favora-
bic conditions. The quarter was turn
ed in 80 seconds, the half mile in 1.01,
the three quarters in 1.31%. This re-
markable trotter was driven by George
H. Ketchum of Toledo, the owner and
breeder. The Cleveland track has al
ways been a favorite with horsemen,
and Maud S. made her record of 2.0S%
to high wheeled sulky over it. Cres-
ceus's performance has started discus
sion anew on the question of the two
minute trotter.
Forty-eight candidates for cadetship

Haskins after the competitive exam
ination at White River Junction. Ca
det Cook is a son of George w. Cook,

man to scale the walls of Pekin and
who served with company X of Ben

Strange Death at cuttlnsvIIIe.

E. c. Anson, 33, of South Reading,
and Miss Lena Ainsworth, 25 his
housekeeper, got of the train at Cut
tingsville late Tuesday night and went
at once to the office of DR.. w. R.
Blossom. The young woman, who was
in a delicate condition, told the doc
tor she had been taking medicine to
obtain relief, and said she had been
subject to fainting spells. She was
seized suddenly with spasm, became
unconscious, and died in about three
hours. An autopsy showed that the
woman's lungs were diseased and that
she was in an enfeebled condition.
Anson left Wednesday apparently for
Claremont, N. H., where the girl has
relatives living, He said he had no
connection with the woman's condi-
tion and merely accompanied her at
her request. He said she was % years
of age. The officers will continue their
Investigations. Anson was arrested in
Cuttingsville yesterday and taken to
Rutland by Sherin Peabody.

Columbia May be Cup Defender Again.

Columbia May be Cup Defender Again.
Shamrock II. has sailed for this
country. Sir Thomas Upton, her own
er, is hopeful that he will lift the cup
which the America won so years ago,
and which has been defended success
fully ever since then. Upton claims
that the new challenger is 10 minutes
faster over a 30-mile course than any
of its predecessors. The present sta
tus of Americas cup defender is very
uncertain. The Constitution has prov
ed to be very fast boat in light winds,
but it is by no means certain that she
is the equal of the old defender, Co
lumbia, in whole-sail breeze. The
Columbia defeated the Constitution
again off Newport, II. l., Monday by
minutes and 54 seconds, thus win
ming the $10.J Astor cup. The victory
was decisive and convincing. The
managers at once announced that the
Constitution was not doing herself JUS
tice, and that she would not race again
until put in proper shape. The Co
lumbia and the Independence sailed
another race yesterday, in which the
Boston boat was badly beaten. The
Columbia led by a mile at the first
mark. AS the breeze grew stronger,
the Independence seemed for a time to
do better, but on the reach to the Sec
ond mark the Columbia gained rapidly
again, beating the independence on the
latter's best point of sailing and turn
ing with a lead of minutes and 40
seconds. The trial races for the selec-
tion of the cup defender will be sailed
Aug. 81, Sept. and 4.

in the new Kiowa and Comanche
country, and the number of claimants
amounted to $1,000, though there are
only $4,000 prizes to be drawn. The
decisions, therefore, are made by the
wheel of fortune and all these names
have to pass over it. The drawing be-
gan Monday and about a thousand dis
tributions were made, with as many
more on days following. 1t is expect
ed that the drawings will be concluded
TINS week, when a comparative few
will be made happy and larger num-
Der will feel that lotteries are wicked.
