THE WISCONSIN VALLEY.

The Milwaukee Sentinel of Saturday,
in speaking of the project of Eastern
capitalists to build an electric railroad
from this city to Merrill, and of options
being held by these people on the cleo
trio light and power plant of this city,
and on land over which it is proposed
to build the line and of q franchise
being asked of the city for the use of its
streets, says:
This is the first definite step toward
the contamination of the plans for a
Wisconsin valley electric line about
which the people of Wisconsin read so
mach year ago, at which time the
Advancement association was exploit
ing the resources of that favored re-
gion through its secretary, Lester A.
Rose, now deceased. AS the Eastern
capitalists have carefully examined the
ground before deciding TO invest their
money it would appear that the claims
of the valley people were not without
foundation in fact 1t is known that
the undeveloped water power along
the Wisconsin river, estimated at some
thing over two hundred thousand horse
power, is so distributed along the val
ley that relays of power for the oper-
alton of the road may be secured at
frequent intervals, not to exceed TWEEN
ty miles between any two points.
With fertile lands, economical power
for manufacturing plants, large forests
of timber, as well as deposits of build
ing stone, valuable clays and graphite,
it would be strange if the Wisconsin
valley did not experience something OF
boom now that capital has found its
way there as the result of judicious adj
vertising, Every new industry opened
by the enterprising people in the North
adds to the material wealth OF the state
of Wisconsin, and the people of Mil
waukee feel lively interest in the de-
velopment that is now taking place in
the fruitful valley of the "Old Wis
conse.'

TRANSFER OF PROPERTY.

On yesterday morning a deal was
consummated whereby D. L. Plumer
becomes the possessor of the e. D.
Bartz property, corner of Fourth and
Jefferson streets, just south of the
Opera House, the consideration, it is
understood, being 81, 500.
1t is Mr.. Plumer's intention to erect
thereon building that will be a credit
to the city. Shortly after the deed of
the transfer had been made Mr.. Plumer
made arrangements with Philip Dean,
the architect, to draw up plans for the
building which he proposes to erect. 1t
will be two stories high, with base
ment, and will be of solid brick, cover
ing an area 45x50 feet, and will be one
of the most substantial buildings in the
city when completed The first floor,
which will be elevated about four fee t
above the street, will be divided into
two compartments. That part facing
Fourth street will be occupied by Mr.
Plumer as an office of the Wausau Gas
Works, while the other, which will have
large plate glass windows facing Jetfer-
son street, will be occupied as q store of
the company where will be kept gas
stoves, fixtures and other stock to be
used for gas lighting and heating pur
poses. From jefferson street will be a
stairway leading to the floor above.
This floor will be fitted up as fiat, and
will be occupied by the superintendent,
John Farrell. The basement will be
used as a workshop and storage room.
It is estimated that this handsome
building, which will be modern in every
respect, viii cost somewhere between
$4,000 and $4,000. The building it is
expected will be completed by early
autumn.
MIR. Plumer will also spend $4,000 or
more this summer in improving the
gas plant, mention of the details being
naGein this paper some weeks ago.

OUR CEMETERY.

Last year, the matter of setting out
trees in our cemetery was left to Neal
Brown, who has the reputation of being
able to make tree grow anywhere
The cemetery trustees gave him Carte
blanche to go ahead and he planted some
5000 trees of different varieties. but all
long lived and hardy; out Of that num-
Der nearly all are living and it is safe to
say that seventy-five per cent. will sur
vive. The cost of bringing the trees in
from the forest and planting cost less
than ten cents apiece. Mr.. Brown
started out just as he did with his resi-
dence grounds, which are the hand
soonest in Wausau today so far as trees
and shrubbery are concerned. The
trustees should give Mr.. Brown full
authority to plant several thousand
trees each year, and to do as he likes
about vines, shrubbery, etc. In this
way for very little money, the Wau-
sau cemetery will become a place of
beauty. Do not let the good work rest
where it is.

BEAUTIFUL GIRL DEAD.
Eighteen'Y car0ld Daughter Of Prest.
Joseph +, Smith Dies Today.

Death has Invaded the home OF Presl-
dent Joseph i. Smith and taken from
1t one OF It's most beautiful and gracious
members. The one who has Teen called
to the farther shore is Alice, the 49,
year-od daughter Of President and Mrs.
Sarah II. K. Smith, Like delicate
flower exposed to the frost this sweet
girl has been growing weaker and
more wan, day by day The parents
and friends have stood By her for a
year and helplessly watched her life
gradually ebb away, Neryous prostra-
tion and papltation OF Inc heart, that
is incident TO that disease was the in
sidious affection that brought her TO
the grave. There was nothing that love
or skill could suggest that was not
done but the bloom faded from her
beautiful cheeks and the silent work
ings Of the disease went on without
abatement.
Alice was born In this city, and as
soon as she was old enough she entered
the public schools, which She left at
an early age 10 attend the Lat
ter-day Saints college and from
thuit went w Tue y, !, hchutiHy
at Provo. She was ambitious far
beyond her strength. She worked
harder than Is usual even among the
most energetic Of her sex. The conse-
Quence was, her constitution began to
rebel. The fond eyes Of the parents
quickly saw the protest thatnature was
making, and about one year ago she
was taken out Of school and brought
home. She failed gradually from then
on. The atllictlon was so deeply rooted
that nothing seemed 10 be able TO con-
troll II. SO that the pail Of her i'm
pending fate has been hanging over the
home on Second West street Tor several
weeks. This morning. at 1890, sur
rounded by her father and mother, and
other members Of the family. her sweet
soul was released, and nothing was
left but the wasted form and the sor-
rowing hearts.
Alice was most loyeable girl. she
substituted the word pleasure for duty,
and her devoted heart anticipated the
wishes OF her parents Her friends were
all who had ever known her. No words
ever escaped her lips that we're not
becoming TO tender, chaste and beau
tiful maiden. She was loved as widely
as she was known and her death viii
cause profound sorrow
The funeral viii be held from the
residence. l57 north Second West street.

BIG FIRE IN pITTsBURG.
Families Rendered Homeless and
Much Property Destroyed.

Pittsburg, p, April 29.---Fire at the
corner Of Carson and Seventeenth
sereets, south side. resulted In the loss
OF one HE, a property loss estimated
at S225, 900, consumed over a dozen build
ings and rendered a score of families
homeless. The flames We're discovered
In the basement Of the four story de-
partment store of George II. Lorsch q
Bro. and In very short time the en-
tire building was burning fnrlously, 1t
was in ruins within thirty minutes A
panic ensued among the customers and
employees, which resulted In what start
ed at first a report that eight persons
had persisted. This was happily UNI
true: after the fire had been controlled,
the only fatality being the burning to
death of Mrs. Kate Donley's S-year-old
child. When the fire broke out Mrs,
Donley and child were on the fourth
floor OF the Lorsch building. In her
haste to escape the mother fell on the
stairway and was rendered uncon-
sciou.s In the excitement the child
was either forgotten or burned before
aid could reach II,
A shower Of the burning timbers was
thrown from The I.0rsch building carry
ing destruction in all directions and
several other stores and a number Of
dwellings were swept by the flames.
The losses are pretty well covered
by insurance.

Mia papers month old have been re-

timing stories Of the discoveries OF ir-

counts that Mai. West, who was sent
to Manila to be depot commissary
would not accept charge OF the depot
until the stores either were shown upon
invoice or accounted for. This led to
an Investigation, and some OF the en-
listed men and civilians employed about
the commlssary store house were ar
rested. The Manila police made
the rounds Of the city and found quite
a large amount OF commissary supplies
in different places. Much OF this could

Hamilton, Bermuda, Thursday. April

The British government has leased
Darrel's island, one OF the largest is
lands in the sound, and within a quar-
Ter Of mile of Warwisk shore, for one
year, with the option Of rellnquishng
It on months notice. fuckers island
has also been inspected, but up to April
oath no definite settlement has been
made in regard to II.
The army officials are, as usual. very
retlcent, but as the blacksmlths In town
have been sounded as to their ability
to construct several hundred yards Of
iron fence, very strong. close. high and
with spike points, and as the plans
which one or two have seen, are said
TO be the outline of one OF the Islands,
very little doubt Is entertained as to
the object in view by the government.
1t Is claimed that had the island not
been wanted for the prisoners but for
the several hundred British laborers
who are going out TO build the new
swing bridge to connect the dockyard
with the main land, no such iron fenc-
ing would haye been Inquired about

spectators Of the contest The hospi-
tai surgeon who attended Smith said
that the appearance Of the pupils Of

that he had been drugged. All the
testimony ELECTED tended to establish
the fact that the pugilist was not
drugged.
