Workhouse
The county board of Outagamie county, Wis., has appropriated $1,500 to build a workhouse where tramps will be sent to hard labor. The county has been overrun with tramps for several years, and the cost of maintaining them in idleness has been from $10,000 to $12,000 yearly. The workhouse plan is expected to correct this.

Will Run Celery Farm.
Appleton, Wis - A syndicate headed by F.A. Bridge of Chicago and former United States Attorney Thomas Milchrist has secured options on 4,000 acres of land near Bovine, Outagamie county, and expects to have within the next two years of the largest celery fields in the country under cultivation. Representatives of the company have already begun to close on their options, and it is said the land will cost them $60,000. About $50,000 more will be required for drainage, preparation of land and erection of necessary buildings. Experts pronounce the soil to be better than the far-famed fields near Kalamazoo, Mich.
