which has now become a part of the
vast 500 system and of the Can
adian Pacific, will commence work
early in June upon a line which will
run from Mukwonago, Waukesha
county, to Grand Rapids, making a
direct line to Chicago, shortening
considerably the distance by rail to
that city from here and placing Crane
Rapids directly on the main line be-
tween Chicago and st. Paul. 1t will
be seen, therefore, that Grand Rap
ids is on the line of every leading
railway in the state, and that through
shipments can be made in all direc-
tons, while passengers from any
quarter may easily and directly reach
it. Scarcely a city can be found
which is more advantageously sit
uated from the standpoint of nat
ural power for commercial purposes
or railway facilities, either for freight
or travel.
The city, too, has a fine location
from a picturesque standpoint. 1t

without undue haste yet 1t consumed
but four days from the time of the
opening OF the case. While the at
toIneys for the defense ably defended
the defendant, there was little Or no

same can be said of the attorneys
for the state. The jury selected was
composed of men in whom the entire
community had implicit confidence,
and the verdict which they rendered
was considered just, according to the
evidence. They are entitled to the
thanks of the community. Judge
Bradshaw contributed to the early
end of the case by holding night ses'
sions of the court, and the expenses
of the case have Teen reduced to
