OF the experts here, are fully equal In
every way to the Cuban product, and it
is certainly revelation to those who
have had small tobacco patches here in
the past. The success thus far has ex-
ceeded the most sanguine expectations.
The fineness and firmness of the leaf and
its susceptibility to a high polish,
together with it's tendency to run light
colors, insures for it great popularity
and good prices. The indications are
that there will be an unusually large
per cent. Of the crop in wrappers. The
yield of the experimental crops so far
has been ten thousand pounds, which is
now in the warehouses, and it is esti-
mated that the Septembe crop, includ-
Ing what the company and the farmers
raise, will amount to fully two hundred
| thousand pounds.
Like all beginners, growers have met
with very poor luck with their first ex-
pertinent, owing to the drouth, but now
| that the rainy season has begun, the
prospects have frightened materially.
They are making provisions. however,
| to avoid repetition Of the damage
caused by the drouth. and are now bus
| lily engaged in putting in series of irrj-
CATION plants. They have purchased from
| one of the phosphate companies large
Dean pump with capacity of twenty
| thousand gallons per hour, with sixty
horse power boiler to operate it. This
has been located on the banks of the
Peace river and in the edge of sixty
acre tract of land which will be planted
in tobacco in September. If necessary,
the pump will be operated day and
night during the dry season. Near the
pump, on highly elevated ground, is
ten-thousand-g gallon tank on fifty-foot
| tower. On other places where tobacco
is to be planted, smaller tanks are being
erected on towers, and connecting water
pipes are being laid. 1t is the intention
| to keep these tanks full at all times but
it is so arranged that the fields can be
irrigated from either the tanks or from
the pump by direct pressure. Each to-
| bacco farm will be underlaid by pipes
| and cross pipes, and to these at every
two hundred feet will be adjusted
highly improved rotary sprinkler, which
will spray radius of 100 feet.
The company is having erected num-
Der of large curing-houses, the roofs of
which are being covered with cabbage
palm fans. These, in the opinion Of the
ex perts, are better than shingles or tin.
Considerable land is being cleared
which will be planted in September,
and almost every day the company has
offers of additional lands to be cultivated
on shares, or on commission.
In addition to the tobacco, the COM
pany has planted two acres of white
vans, and one acre Of matangas Both
of these vegetables are as necessary to
the Cuban planter as are "hog and hon.
my" to the Southern farmer. The yams
are doing even better here than in Cuba,
where it is said that they sell for five
cents pound. They are something
| like potato, and each hill will produce
from twenty-five to fifty pounds. In
the two acres, there are 1900 hills,
which at the lowest estim ate will viald

4 WISE PROVISION.

AT meeting of the Board of Alder
men Monday night an ordinance was
passed which provides that all trains
in passing through or switching with
i'm the town limits shall come TO a full
stop at each crossing. This applies to
all railroads and trains of every de-
scription, including shifting engines
and every crossing within the corpo-
rate limits Heretofore there has
been an ordinance that prohibited
trains from running in the town at a
greater rate of speed than eight miles
an hour. The rate has been reduced
to six miles an hour.
1t has been found so hard to enforce
the law and in consequence there has
been so many accidents that the pas
sage of some stringent ordinance be-
came matter of public necessity.
Now that all trains will be required
to come to a full stop at every cross
ing. no more accidents will be heard
of If this ordinance had been in
force a few months ago the Hender-
son and Northern accident never
would have happened. This provis-
ion will prove a much better safe
guard to life and property than the
system of gates. The law is to go
into effect June, the 1st, 1896.

That Manatoba and Gulf railroad
project, which SO stirred up our Guth-
RE county neighbors short time ago
has dropped with a dull sickening thud.
Dispatches sent out from Ruthvsn
last week say ''The Manitoba and
Gulf railroad project, the prospectus
for which called for the building of a
line from connection with the Cana.
dian Pacific on Lake Ontario to the
Gulf of Mexico, has collapsed so far
as immediate work on the road is con-
cerned. About twenty miles have been
graded between Ruthven, Iowa, and
Jackson, Mimi, and eight miles have
been irOned Since work began at
Ruthyen six motnhs ago no money has
been spent for labor or material, and
but little cash is said to have gone il'o
the right Of way. Every fhiDg was
complished on promises.
Wednesday nearly 100 workmen fol
lowed l.. f. Carpenter, formerly of Des
Moines, the protector into bank at
Jackson and demanded their pay or
Carpenters life. He finally begged off
with promise to pay by Thursday noon.
Over $4,000 is due the workmen.
Jackson township voted tax of
SIS, 900 conditional that the road was
to be completed in the township by
July 10 next Lloyd township, Dickin-
son county, voted a 5, per cent. tax
| under similar conditions. All but
! three miles Of this tax has been earned
! Wedncg'ay's events make it impossi
bic to go further and Carpenter is re.
ported to have resigned the presidency
of the construction company. Two
inch planks are said to have been used
in culyevts and discarded street caI
iron from Cedar Rapids is part Of the
material used to encompass the terms
of the tax requirements.

Such is the order of the day. The day
we celebrate. 100 years ago our fore
fathers severed their relations with Eng
LAND. Today this country stands fore
most of all the nations of the world. We
have good reason to celebrate. So let's
do it in shape. To those who read this
before the 4th we renew our invitation to
come to Audubon! To those who do not
read it until after the 4th, we hope you
had good time wherever you went.
Apropos of the day propose to make little
noise in New Shoe Department We have just
$40 pair of Ladies' Misses and Children Oxfords which
must be sold within the next 80 days It is our policy
to carry little possible and wish to in
roduce our NeaU Shoe Department to more customers
few people still cling to the dea that they must go
to a shoe store to buy shoes They don't know why
They just got into the habit of thinking that way Of
course we haven't every kind of shoes made but we
do have very nearly all the best styles Our regular
prices less than others ask for the grade of
Oxfords they so cheap, that every one will easily
see the difference. That's what we desire to impress
you.
Space forbids but the briefest mention of but
few styles Remember we can show you 38 different
styles, in which we have all sizes. Besides few
styles of broken sizes This is larger line of oxfords
than carried by any shoe store in Audubon. Our
prices what the shoes cost to manufacture. few
are less. Not freight is added They all go
withou This is the greatest shoe offering
made in Audubon, when you take into consideration
that these goods all new.
