This IS the name given to a new brand of
cigars manufactured by the well-known
firm Of Wiggenhorn Bros, of this city.
These cigars are smaller than ordinary
cigars, but are manufactured Of clear
Havana tobacco, long filler, warranted to
be such by the manufactures, and are So
at $35 per thousand. They are in every
respect equal to the best brands manufac =
turec by this firm, except in regard to size,
and are without doubt bound to become
popular when they shall come to be gener.
ally known to the smoking fraternity. |,
has been a study for a long time among
cigar makers to produce FIVE cent cigar
that would give satisfaction to users of the
weed. and we think Wiggenhorn Bros have
struck the key note, no: by using inferior
tobacco, but by giving the best tobacco in
smaller cigar. Smokers should try the new
cigar.

The farmers in this section have COM
menced the spring wheat harvest in good
earnest, and this week will see the greater
portion of the wheat cut and stacked. The
yield will not bear out the estimate made
three weeks ago, the intense hot weather of
last week having worked serious injury
on many pieces, literally burning and shriv.
cling the heads and preventing them from
properly filling. The club wheat about
here is making the poorest return, many
pieces being scarcely worth the harvesting
Fortunately comparatively small amount
of club wheat was sown this season. Rio
Grande and China varieties have done bet
ter and bring a fair yield, while the fields
of Russian Fife are producing finely, with
few exceptions. Making allowance for all
the failure reported, we think it is not IN
reasonable to assume that the wheat crop
of the cosnties of Jefferson and Dodge will
be full average, Notwithstanding the crop
has been damaged fully Is per cent. within
the past two weeks. Oats are ripening
with the wheat and are also being cut.
They ere reported somewhat injured from
the hot, sultry weather as we'll as wheat
but notwithstanding this. the crop in the az.
grsgate will be large one.

Navigation on Rock River.

The little steamer Flortta made her Sec
ond voyage to this city from jefferson. via
Rock river, Saturday. She arrived at the
foot of Boomers Dam, south of the city
limits, at IL o'clock A. NJ, having started
fr om Jefferson at 6:45 o'clock. But for a
delay of nearly an hour, caused by having
run foul of stump below Woolcotts Lake,
she would have reached her destination by
10 o'clock. Captain Puerner is confident of
making the trip hereafter in three hours.
The Floritta had aboard a large excursion
party and the Jefferson brass band Quite a
number went down from town to welcome
the party and crew. Buses and carriages
were in waiting at the landing and passen-
gers taken up to the city, where they passed
the day pleasantly. The Floritta returned
to Jefferson in the afternoon. leaving her
dock at P. N. Several of our citizens en-
braced the opportunity OF taking river
ride to Jefferson. In few days the Florit-
to takes an excursion party from here to

automatic Electric Alarm.

Mr.. John B. May of this city, has inven-
ted very simple but perfect Automatic
Electric Alarm. 1t is mechanical contriv.
ance that can be adjusted to any clock
An electric bell is placed in any room
where 1t is desired to wake person, and
upon one of the hands touching a given
point, previously arranged, an electric cir
cult is completed. One single clock placed
in your room is sufficient to produce as
many alarms az there are rooms 10 the house.
The principal feature of this alarm is that
it is exclusively under the operators control,
and the fumbling with, and alter ing of
alarm clocks by lazy employees, is at
once put stop to. The distance from the
clock to the bell is immaterisl, provided
always the strength of the battery is equal
to the electrical resistance which is in ac-
cor-ance with the length of the wire. Any
child that knows the hours can set it, and
the alarm can be so regulated as to run from
FIVE misutes to half IA hour, If necessary
This invention refec.s credit on the fine
mechanical genius of Mr.May, and we hope
TO see his Automatic Alarm come into gen :
eral use.

$40: 900 was rather a dear bonus for the

Friday evening. Ample preparations

they always do.
There was no bosterous mirth, but of

There was no lack, and soon after mid
