A Western summer visit.

To the CENSOR and it's family of read
ers, | will relate few of our experier ces
and trials on the western prsiries the
past summer. Weleft Resdstown, Mon
day, June 7, with team of horses and
covered wagon and proceeded toward
the western horizon for few miles, and
then slowly wendell our way southwark,
and when Old Sol settled behind the
trees, we were in the city of Prairie du
CHEN. The next morning we crossed
the Mississippi into Iowa and proceeded
westward. The first day we bad splen
did roads, but the next day t began to
rain and continued for two weeks, vary
ing from a gentle mist to a terrific
waterspout. At one place where we
encamped we caught wpter pail full
of water in just three quarters of an
hour.
We visited the city of Des Moines and
spent some time in visiting the city and
state capitol. We next arrived at
Plattsmouth and were surprised to see
the country all around covered with
water from so much rain We then
crossed the state line into Nebraska and
proceeded toward the state capital
Here we spent some time in visiting the
states prison and taking in the sights
of the city. We then headed for north
western Kansas, where we visited about
month, and then went to southeastern
Kansas, within 40 miles of Oklahoma,
where we stopped two weeks. In the
mean time we visited in Concordia where
Onstot's reside. Phil Onstot is running
dray there. His father sold his farm
within four miles oi Concordia for
$4,000 and emigrsted to Oklahoma.
His mother died about two years ago
and Mr.. Onstot was married again about
two months since From there we pro-
ceeded eastward into the state of Mis-
souri,. Here we visited Taylor Melvin's
family and had very enjoyable time.
Taylor has a 200 acre farm and is we'll
fixed. While here we also visited Jake
Silbaugh. jake has nice farm and is
doing well. Taylor Melvin las %
acre orchard, but has no fruit this
year, the wet weather seemed to blight
it. From there we started back to old
Wisconsin, which is good enough for
us. We had good roads on the return
trip and enjoyed it very much. We were
lucky not one of us being i'll an hour,
and after ten days. driving arrived
home and found everything all o. K.
Gould tell much more, but fearing that
I have already trespassed on the valu-
able space of your paper, will close.

SCHEME TO DEFEAT BABcoCK.

The Washington Post gives the de-
tails of scheme concocted in that city
to try and defeat Congressman Babcock,
of this state, for reelection. A circular
was gotten up by personal enemy OF
Mr.. Babcock there, purporting to come
from the labor unions, assailIng him as
an enemy of labor and advising all the
laboring men of his district to vote
against him. The names of the officers
of the labor unions were signed to the
circular, and the democratic committee
agreed to pay for the printing of 10000
copies to be distributed in Mr.. Babcock' g
district. Somehow the matter leaked
out, and upon investigation it was found
that the circular was never signed by
the parties whose names were attached
to it, and it was promptly repudiated by
them.-State Journal.

DIR, Brewer.

From Portage Wis., Democrat July 3D. 1851
At the Corning House today, n ak
ing one of his regular visits to this
city, is one of the most eminent physi-
clans and honorable men in the profess
sion in the northwest, DR.. f. B..
Brewer. For twenty years he has been
making regular visits to this city and
many afflicted have received the benefit
of his skill. There are many travelling
doctors in these days and there are may
frauds DR.. Brewer is not of that class
He is not only good physician, but
the soul of honor, His word is pure
gold, his character above reproach. The
newspaper men all over the west are his
especial friends. Why? Because he is
the exception and not the rule. In pay
ing for his advertising, the collector
doesn't have to hunt him up. He in
variably calls at the office on his regular
visits with mis- little receipt book, pro-
cures the editors signature and lays
down the cash for services rendered
without kick or growl. His account
is always balanced. Such men as DIR.
Brewer merit success and they get it.
DIR. Brewer will visit Inc Viroqaa House,
in this city, ON Thursday, October n.

Active Movements In Tobacco.

Active movements III lOpdcSOs
No crop of Vernon county tobacco
seems to have had more attractions for
foreign buyers than that just put on the
poles No less than dozen outsiders
have been riding the growing districts,
and the CENSOR is informed that nearly
all the crops in the valley sections have
been contracted for. Prices range from
6 to 8 cents, the average about 81. As
high as 81 has been paid in individual
cases. This buying in the field and on
the poles before maturity is risky ven
ture, but The demand for Vernon county
weed furnishes field for unusual activ-
ity, and hence the scramble for our to-
bacco. The buying has extended to
Crawford county. L w. Scott Il Co,
of Boston, are reported to have made
purchases of 200 acres; M ii. Bakkeda',
OF Westby, 800 acres; Fred EckEa:tt,
200; s. N Neprud, of Westby, so acres;
o. H. Helgeson & Go, of Viroqua, so
acres. Many outsiders have made pur-
chases and others came simply to look
the ground over with view to later
business.
Concerning the conditions elsewhere
in the growing sections of Wisconsin lhe
Edgerton Tobacco Reporter says:
Buying of the new crop is proceeding
so quietly that it seems questionable
whether the movement will induce buy
ers enough to enter the market at pres
ent to create general movement. In
the Vernon county section there is more
activity, Mr.. Scott, of Boston, and local
dealers are ,usilv riding ard bnvinQ
more extensively If Gu lc- seeo,
A good deal of Significance lis alw Us
attached to the opening sales of tobacco
crop, for it goes long ways towards
establishing the market price for that
crop. Hence the first transactions are
snxiously watched for, both by the grow
or and dealer, as stalking out the grounds
and setting pace for both to work to.
If the market is opened by reputable
buyer, for firm whom is known, his acts
ara accepted as Of authority and en- tiled
to much weight Il flu ur d a.. Ii tn
grove, s, too. whose rsmes app ear amo q
The first sales are known to be- prud-ul
farmers and intelligent tobacco growers,
such transactions are given additional
weight among their neighbors, The first
sales of the '98 crop which appeared last
week might possibly be disappointing to
some growers because of their cheapness,
but the prices range just about whers
buying in the '97 began, and the bulk of
that crop was disposed of at figures I'M
der those first made. As between the
two crops, the '9S has more inviting ap-
pearance as it stands in the curing sheds
day, but the damage from hail, rust
and hoppers was no where as great in
the '97 as in the present crop. In guam
tity, an important item to be considered,
the '98 is one otthe largest grown in the
state and will yield an enormous amount
of leaf for which market must be pro,
vided. All these are matters to be taken
into account when the o. stion of selling
presents itself. 1t is no province of this
papsr to give advice in this matter
simply to set forth the facts and leave
the growers to decide that as it seems
best to them.

that can be taken"
When you have bad cold DR.. Inclina-
