Northern Wisconsin Development.

Northern Wisconsin Development.
That rapidly developing terri
tory which occupiesithe northern
half of Wisconsin is not new
enough to cause the hardshlps
and vicissitudes of frontier life,
and not old enough to keep
away the intending settler on &C
count Of exorbitant land prices.
It is in that stage Of partial de-
velopment which gives greater
opportunity to bring it to the
highest point of perfection and
prosperity. Schools, good roads
and other improvements are SO
ing in. All that is needed, is
a small capital Drawn and
brain, supplemented by push and
energy will do the rest. The
iron ore, mari, kaolin and clay
beds, the timber and the rich soil
give equal opportunity to the
settler and the manufacturer.
Land is cheap and can be pur-
chased on easy terms.
THE WISCONSIN CENTRAL R'Y.
offers facilities for the quick and
cheap transportation of its pro-
ducts and as the line penetrates
the very center of this vast north
err territory, choice of location
is not confined to any one par
ticular locality
Interesting pamphlets and
maps fully describing this beau
tiful and rich country can be OBJ
tanned by addressing,

gress. The Spanish Government also
ratified the treaty and = only remained
for the two countries TO exchange ratif-
cations and conclude the negotiations.
The consideration provided ia TIE

United States of $l00, 0o0 This amount was
appropriated by Congress in the deficien-
cy bill and payment was made to Duke

session OF the entire Philippine group
and to prevent their occupancy by any
undesirable power

date from that State. They had been
led to believe that Prof. NOrthrop was
certain of tic appointment until the sup
porters of Mr.. Rodenberg rallied and IN
sisted upon his selection, which, If made,
will make nee .Ssary the elimination OF
