lone of the most remarkable feats of
strength I ever saw in my life is perform
cd every day by an old beggar on Baronne
street. said one of group of clubmen en-
gagged in discussing athletics. according
to the New Orleans Times Democrat. ct

you viii smile when I describe it, but |
am willing TO bet that there is nobody
in the crowd that can come anywhere
near duplicating the performance. The

right arm extended, holding a cup. OF

over twenty minutes at a stretch. A per-

as straight and rigid as bar Of iron. Then
it began TO culver slightly; ana presently
the arteries were standing out like cords
and the sweat was streaming down his
face like rain. He gave up in the eleventh

less of trick in the thing, and ! suppose

Mr.. Wiilett of Alabama, who made the
leading speech at Tammanys Fourth Of
July dinner, is of the opinion that Judge
Van Wyck's chances for the Democratic
nomination for President are good, and
that they will become brighter as the peo-
pie come to understand the situation bet
ter He says the East is stiH hostile to
Bryan and free silver and that the West
has deserted both, therefore a Bryan
breakup is sure to come; and when it
comes he thinks Van Wyck will be the
residuary legatee."

Current Tobacco News.

Vernon county growers have had ex-
celient opportunity for setting their
plants. The work is completed and
fields look fine. While we have nothing
accurate on which to base an estimate
we are lead to the belief that there is at
least an increase in acreage of twenty
five per cenr over last year.
OF the general conditions elsewhere
the Edgerton Reporter says: There is a
notable contrast between the planting
of a tobacco crop now and ten or fifteen
years before the machine transplanters
came into general use. Then the grow
ers prepared their fields and waited for
timely rains to transplant the crop. An
absence of rains forced a watering out
or continued drouth delayed the work
often for weeks and sometimes curtailed
the crop immensely and dragging the
planting season long into July.
The remnants of the '9S crop and in
fact all cased goods in tine hands of
growers are again being sought after
with a great deal of industry. Some of
the local packers who have closed out
their holdings are trying to pick up an
other packing which is bringing quite a
revival of trade from first hands again.
Prices paid range from II to 8 cents in
the case.

0~BITuARY-MRs. JEFsON.

Mrs. Amy A. Jefson was born in the
town.ofsWebster, Oct. 81, 1876, and died
June 80, 1899. Deceased was the daugh-
ter of John and Mary J. Snodgrass.
Her mother died when she was but a
child, and henceforth she found q con-
genial home, where she was blessed with
christian example and training in the
home of her grandfather, M. Adams,
where she. spent most of her life. On
April 90, 1898, she married Mr.. j. NJ.
Jefson, who during her last lingering
illness, did all that a loving heart could
suggest, or faithful hands perform for
her relief and comfort. She was a
member of Salem ridge M. E, class and
it was the oft expressed desire of her
heart during the first part of her sick
ness that she might soo lecover so that
she could attend church and enter more
actively into its delightful service. But
when the progress of the fatal disease
admonished her that her translation"
was near she sought and realized that
more vital relation to Jesus, the author
of spiritual life, that enabled her to
calmly approach the dark valley ex-
horting her young companions to meet
her in the blessed beyond. j. F.
