MASS MEETING TONIGHT
Plans for Reception of the
Volunteers to Be Laid.
BADGE IDEA APPROVED
Many Think 1t the Correct One on
Which to Obtain Popular SUBJ
scriptions-Some Other
Ideas.
BADGE IDEA APPROVED

At s o'clock this evening a mass
meeting will assemble at the city hall
I in the council chamber to plan for re-
ceiving the returning Anaconda vol
unteers. This meeting is called by
Mayor Madden at the request of the
city council, it being deemed expedi-
) ent to start the movement in this man
ner. ...
There are number of things to be
considered by this meeting. One is
: the form the reception is to take.
Butte has set about raising 100000 with
I which to bring all IL Montana COM
panies home in a body after muster
tout at San Francisco, and doubtless
twill be successful in the effort. 1t may
I be the sense of to-night's meeting to
Z join forces with Butte and aid in the
& work of bringing the boys home in
4 body.
4 Another view of the case which, no
doubt will be presented tonight, is
THAT inasmuch as Butte has taken
@charge of the movement for a big regi-
4mental reception she requires no out
be devoted to looking after the Ana
aconda boys after the Butte reception.
& 1t is believed there will be no diff
ficulty in all Anaconda soldiers receiv-
ing employment as quick as they get
back, but some, no doubt. will be in
a physical condition that will prevent
working for some time. These men
may be able to be out of the hospital,
3tbut still have in their systems the eff
fleets of tropical fever, which enervate
land weaken them. Such men may need
attention, care and perhaps financial
aid.
There developed yesterday a strong
sentiment in favor of aiding Butte in
&the efforts to bring the regiment back
lin a body. Advocates of this idea ar
que that this is the most important
thing to be done just now, and that
Anaconda should bear her proportion
sof the expense of the necessary special
strain.
Plans for raising money are many,
but perhaps the most popular is that
Gof the badge or ribbon to be purchased
for 81 and worn by the purchaser until
"a person on the streets without such
a decoration would attract attention.
IAN inscription for the ribbon was sug-
3gested yesterday as follows:
Volunteers reception fund. I have;
have your" meaning."I have subscrib-
sed to the fund; have you?"
1T is the best plan yet" said Rod
.erick T. Williams of the Smith Drug
company yesterday. Everybody VIII
buy the ribbons, which will cost little
or nothing, and several thousand dol
lars can be raised in that manner.
Men who would subscribe 81 if ap-
preached by a solicitor for the fund
would buy two or three badges at 81
each for the members of their family.
Why the first thing you knew if
man appeared on the street without
badge the Standard would have to
print the strange fact as a matter of
news BY all means adopt the badge
idea"
The result of to-night's meeting will
be the selection of committee to
handle the matter and the adoption of
a plan of action.

Stream Measurements Published by the
Geological Survey.

Missoula, Aug, 29.-The appearance of
two late bulletins of the United States
geological survey has particular inter-
est to the residents of this section of
Montana since the results of the
stream measurements made by Pro-
fessor Smith in 1888 are published in
these bulletins for the first time. The
papers referred to are Nos. y and %

pers of the United States geological

these papers is more of a technical i'm
portance than of a popular nature, but
to all, whether irrigation engineers,
ranchmen or even of the curious class
who are interested only in the fiuctu-
atoms of the streams, the figures given
therein are valuable and interesting.

ested in these tables will be in the

New YORK Sept. ., 80.

A brisk business continues to ami
mate the market during the past week.
In spite of all that has been said and
written about the damage in the New
England leaf, that and the Big Flats re-
tain the principal attraction, fascination
almost, for the buyer. The country
jobbers and the manufacturers of little
cigars have to have wrappers. Every
jobbing house and factory is bare of
them; consequently they have to take
what they can get. Almost 2O00cs of
New England leaf and some 2000 boxes
of Big Flats were disposed of, and there
was no haggling about prices either.
Our cigar industry is in such booming
condition that it cannot afford to stop
working for the purpose of depressing
prices on it's raw material, and there is
not the slightest chance that it could do
SO even if it tried to. OF old filler stock,
the market has been so thoroughly
cleaned that perhaps not more than 2O00
boxes of odds and ends could be scraped
together Hence such of the new filler
crops as are sampled are enjoying a
boom all by themselves. Nearly 1900
boxes of '98 Zimmer's were sold as fast
as samples could be shown at an average
price of tic. New Little Dutch is also
selling fast.
Neither is the Sumatra market suffer
ing. Sumatra remains, after all, the
reliable leaf, and the large factories find
it impossible to discard it's use. 1t is
likewise realized that there is no supera-
bundance of stock on hand. The result
is free sales of both the old and new i'm
portations. About 500 bales changed
hands during the week.
The Havana situation remains un~
changed. Prospective buyers are eager
ly awaiting the arrival of the new crop,
Of course, prices will be high, but prices
will not stand in the way of a quick alb
sorption of all the Havana that is ex-
pected to come IN in the fall and winter
months.-Journal.

By the close of this week about one
half of the '99 crop in this section will be
in the sheds Outside the hail section
the tobacco is looking very good, except
the late crops, which will be much small
Ter than the early crops Of course a
good rain would help some, but the late
crops will not average heavy in yield per
acre. Should the weather continue dry
the farmers should shut their shed dur
ing the day and open only at night, so
that the hot air may be kept out, thereby
lessening the danger from shed burn.
When it is possible the bottom of the
shed should be thoroughly wet down.

NEW YORK, August 80, '99.

The present calender month, which
closes to morrow, has been the busiest
one for local Seed leaf dealers since the
year begun. The activity has been and
is now general, the smallest dealers
benefting by it as we'll as large packers.
It is almost surprising to note the readi-
ness with which all kinds of tobaccos are
disposed of. Notwithstanding the fact
that certain amount of damage is ad
mitted and recognized, inquiry is strong
er than ever, and sales have not been re-
tarded to the extent that might have
been expected. AS matter of fact, the
recognition of the situation has rather
stimulated buying, and it is reported
that tainted lots go as readily at rela-
tive price as do the clean goods. A lot
of Connecticut Havana Seed seconds
which the writer saw, and upon which
the must was plainly visible, sold for 1917
cents. Wrappers from the same lot
brought 45 cents. Clean Connecticut
and New York State wrappers command
top-notch prices. They sell readily at
from Al to 80 cents, and many lots are
being held at 55 and 60 cents. Inquiry
for new Onondaga is growing stronger
The country seems to be hungry for
wrapper and binder stock, and record
breaking business is predicted for Sep
tember.
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1899-09-08

Sumatra- condition of this branch
of the cigar leaf market is steady and
sound. While there has been no furry
during the past week, trading went on in
substantial way, and a few hundred
bales changed hands. Just at present
old goods appear to be especially in de-
mand.
Havana Although the inquiry for this
tobocco continues strong, the amount
of business transacted during the past
week was small, due, of course, to the
limited stock in first hands The 1899
crop will be launched upon dry mar
ket, and it is safe to predict that there
will be no weakening in prices before the
crop of 1900 is ready for us. A sale of
200 bales 1899 Vueltas, lying in Havana,
was made at S9c-Leaf

The labor of harvesting the excellent
crop of 1899 is now being pushed as
rapidly as possible The crop is mostly
ripe and in prime order for harvesting,
and the week commencing Aug %, will
see large amount of leaf of the finest
quality housed.
Our correspondents write as follows:
South Deerfield: "The late crops are
coming on rapidly, and bid fair to out
strip the early setting. There is some
old tobacco still held here w. w. San
derson has his '98 crop, about 10 tons of
choice leaf" Hatfield: '"Many of our
farmers have finished the harvesting of
tobacco, and aside from the sections
where hail fell the crop is fine one. -

LANCASTER NEW ERA, August 20, S9.
While the dealers continue to say the
market continues dull, the fact, never
theless, is that fair amount of goods
are changing hands from week to week.
Not more than small portion of the
local sales can be reported from week to
week, nor is it pretended to report them
all. There are several hundred dealers
in the country, and it is physical inn
possibility to see them all, or even half
of those in this city alone. Many refuse
to report their sales, and we only give
those which are reported to US, as our
reports always state. Only crank Or
fool would expect or suppose the total
weekly sales to be given in the market
report. The sales that have been re-
ported to us are 40cs sold by H. 81. Mil
Ter; Goes sold by d. M. Aument, of Stras-
burg; 286cs sold by Walter S. Bare; 356
cases sold and 163 bought by G. FL. We'll
chans & Co.; 4Ocs sold by Julius Fox;
and 63cs sold and 125 bought by B. F.
Good & Co., making total of 1O87cs.
For the corresponding week of last year
the sales announced were 165cs.
Not nearly so much tobacco has been
cut in the northern part OF the county
as has gnerally been supposed. In fact,
from what we saw during late trip into
those parts, we should say not one-tenth
part of the crop had been housed at the
close of last week. More will, of course,
go into the sheds this week, and much of
it unripe. Everywhere we see the ripe
and the unripe cut down together. That
cannot possibly make fine tobacco, and
big price cannot be expected for it.
There was general rain during the
greater part of last Saturday night. Corn
and pasture were much benefited, but
it came rather late to be of much benefit
to the tobacco. Hail came with it, doing
harm in some places.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET
EDGERToN, WIS.,, September s, 1899.

EDGERToN, WIS, September s, 1899.
The buying of the new crop which
started as noted a week ago in Vernon
county, has been carried into other to-
bacco sections during the week where
the movement has developed into pro
portions that bids fair to establish the
market price for the crop. The scram-
BILE up in Vernon county assumed the
aspects of a 'horse race" before the ex-
element wore away and sober, second
thoughts prevailed. There has been
some lively hustling done in few other
localities where the reputation for pro-
ducing fine leaf was established. Buy
ers have overrun these like swarm of
locusts and some attractive prices for
Wisconsin leaf paid The active buyers
so far in the lower sections were Sutter
Bros. with eight or ten buyers and the
Hoffman -Culton firm with quite as many
more. We believe a conservative esti-
mate of the amount of tobacco con-
tracted for to date would be: For the
Vernon county section 400 to 500 acres;
Morrissonville and Rio section 400 acres:
Oxford and Albany section $50 acres:
all other localities 100 acres. The fact
that some of the buyers are paying 80
an acre advance on contracts shows an
earnestness that is commendable

AT any rate, the Introduction Of such
filter system is a most serious con-
sideration, and not lightly to be under
taken. The question will most naturally
arise: Why undertake such a work
when nature has already constructed
such filter system, SO arranged as
not TO need any attention nor involve
any expense?"
H II this water should be adopted as a
city supply, I would advise that some
strict regulations be adopted for the
preservation of the water from any
possible local contamination. Strict

premises should be inforced, and all
refuse, of whatever kind, removed and
not allowed to enter the earth. Re-
