THE TOBACCO INDUSTRY.

7. 7. Wright, industrial commits
sioner of the Plant System, is full of
meat and means much for Ocala.
1t is needless to say Ocala will
take hold of the valuable ideas con-
tanned in this communication.
Ocala appreciates the interest
taken by Mr.. Plant in the welfare
of her citizens. Long life to the
king B. Plant!
OcALA, FLA, May II, 1896.
ID. S. Williams, Esq.,,
Secretary B0a,Wgf TRADE,
OcaLa, EIa.,
Dear Sir-In response to re-
quest from several of your promi-
nent citizens who ask for industrial
suggestions, | take pleasure in
again visiting Ocala to confer with
your honorable association on mat
tiers relating to the future welfare
of your city.
The culture of fine grade tobac-
CO is now creating much interest
in Florida; in order, therefore, to
make a success of this product, it
is necessary that growers should
be instructed in all the details of
its culture, from sowing the seed to
curing, packing and delivery to
the manufacturer.
That a fine grade Of tobacco can
be grown in Florida is now an es-
tablished fact. The proper curing
and packing of the leaf are import
ant mattelS for growers to learn,
and in the interest of this industry
and for the benefit of tobacco
growers in your immediate section
and the state at large, l would
suggest that you assemble
A NATIONAL TOBACCO GROWERS,
AND DEALERS CONVENTION
at Ocala, say in January next.
Governor Mitchell, at your request,
would doubtless unite with you in
issuing a call for this convention
and inviting delegates to the same
from all the states; said delegates
to be practical tobacco growers,
dealers and manufacturers.
The advantages of this conven-
tion to you would be educational,
and would also give to your city
prominence all over the United
States as the birthplace of the first
national gathering to assemble in
this interest, and at the same time
bring to you tobacco growers from
Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, and
other states, some of whom may be
induced to purchase lands in Flor
ida for growing fine. high price
tobacco, a product that Florida
may monopolize. refer to the
fine grade tobacco of the Cuban
variety, which, outside of Cuba,
Florida alone can produce in the
United States.
ANOTHER SUGGESTION IN TIE TO
BACCO LINE.
Florida now holds prestige over
allthe states for manufacturing the
best grade of American cigars; why
not also for manufacturing pack
age smoking tobacco. Yet, so fal
as | can learn, not one ounce oi
Florida smoking tobacco is manu-
factured. When you consider the
immense value of the cigar indus
try to Florida, there seems no rea
sonable reason why Florida smok
ing tobacco should not rank next
In Importance to her cigar indus
try.

DANGER OF A FLOOD.
Menominee River Rising to an I'm
usual High Mark at
Marinette.

Marinette, Wis, April 21.-[Special.1-
There is great danger of flood in the
vicinity of this city. Owing to the high
water in the Menominee all the farm
ers living along the river have been
obliged to leave their homes and come
to the city. although many of them have
simply move inland few rods.
Should the river continue to rise there
is danger of the places being swept away
and the damage will be large, as the
property in this vicinity is valuable.
During the past week the river has risen
over five feet and it is still rising. The
bridges at Iron Mountain and Crystal
Falls, Mich, are in danger, and two of
them on the Menominee are liable to be
washed out at any time.
The booms here contain many million
feet of logs and the companies have men
there guarding them night and day to
prevent their being swept into the lake.
The weather is threatening and fears
are entertained that more rain will fall
which will mean considerable loss to
farmers and lumbermen at the present

is NOT LAWFUL.

Companies Cannot Insure Policies to
Persons Against Theft.
Madison, Wis, April 23.-[Special.] i
Assistant Attorney-Gener j. s. Erdall
has given an opinion which is of much
Importance to bankers and other ship
pers of money upon a question of insur-
ance referred to him by Insurance Com
missioner w. A. Fricke. Inquiry came
to Mr. Fricke from a prominent firm of
Milwaukee attorneys, Miller, Noyes,
Miller q VAIL, as to the legality of the
business of certain insurance companies
which have been issuing policies insuring
against theft money shipped in Wisconsin
per United States registered mail to
points within and without the state.
Their method of doing business is de-
Scribed as follows: "a foreign insurance
company with headquarters in New
York issues an open policy to a bank in
milwaukee, fixing certain rate per
$1,000 The bank notifies the insurance
company in New York of each shipment
and the shipment is thereby covered by
the policy. The premiums are COLLECTED etc
from time to time as agreed upon. The
only known decision on the question is
by the New York encouragement Janu-
AIRY 81 last, that under the New York law
the rights of each particular corporation
depend upon the charter of the company
and the authority granted by the COM
missioner of insurance"
The question submitted by Commits
sioner Fricke was whether or not do
mestic or foreign insurance company
may carry on in this state the business
of insuring against loss of money by
theft Mr.. Erdall decides that neither
foreign nor domestic insurance compa-
mics can lawfully carry on such business
in Wisconsin, and cites the statutes and
court decisions bearing on the question.
Insurance Commissioner Fricke has re-
fused a license to the Ocean Accident
and Guarantee company of London.
The company insures against bad debts
and Assistant Acknowledgement Erdall,
TO whom the question was referred. de-
cides that there is no law in Wisconsin
authorizing the transaction of such bust
ness, hence no license can be issued and
that without such license the business
would be unlawful and the representa-
tives of the company liable to arrest and
fine.

The body of the man found yesterday
in Mansur's bay was not that of Lloyd
Wallace the young man who disappeared

a stranger whose identity is unknown.
Several persons who knew Wallace
looked at the remains of the dead man
and said it was not him. The man
found was about 30 years old, dark hair
and slight mustache of the same color
and weighed about $50 pounds. He
wore a blue calico shirt, black pair of
trousers and congress shoes. His trous-
ers were spotted with red and green
paint, which led the authorities TO be-
lieve that he might be a painter. JUS
tice Sherry empanneled coroner's jury,
composed of Messrs. G. w. Johnson,
Charles Paul, S. III. Greenbeck, fl. o..
Haertl, John Watts and Charles Merry,

Union Grove Farmer Shot by Wou1d-be
RObber.
Racine, Wis, April 2O.-[Special.1 An
attempt was made about $50 o'clock last
evening to murder and rob Frank Kid
die, prominent farmer living near the
town Of Union Grove, just across the
border of Kenosha county. Mr.. Riddle
had started from the house to water his
stock in the barn when he saw a man
dodge around the corner of the house.
He went in the direction the man had
taken when he heard someone call out:
'Stop, or you are a dead man." Mr..
Riddle started to back toward the house
when the man opened fire on him with
two revolvers.
One of the shots grazed his chin and
another tore away his hat. Mr.. Riddle
threw the lantern he carried at the man.
Mrs. Riddle heard the shooting and ran
to the door with revolver in her hand.
She saw the man and tried to shoot him,
but the weapon failed to go off and the
fellow escaped.
Mr. Riddle had secured large amount
of money from the bank the day previous
and he thinks the man knew of the fact
He has an idea who the fellow is and an
arrest may follow.
