MONUMENT WILL BE BUILT.
Mr.. Simmons Says County Boards Act
will Not Altar His Purpose.

A representative of this paper called
on MIR. 2. G.. Simmons today, to see
what effect the action of the County
Board would have on his offer of the
soldiers monument to the county.
Mr. Simmons was out of town, but
his son, Y. 6. Simmons, Jr., speaking
for him, said that t be course the country
members of the County Board had seen
fit to take would make no difference in
the ultimate outcome of the proposition
as the monument would be built just
the same and in the same location. He
further stated that his father had no i'll
feeling toward the members of the
County Board, who had thought best
to refuse his offer. The feeling he
entertains is one of pity rather than
resentment.
He had hoped that the board would
accept his offer, so that the county, in
it's own right, would own the whole
half block where the court house is
situated, which it surely ought to have
regardless of any monument. Fully
approaching the value of this property
to the county Mr.. Simmons, although
heartily surprised at the boards action,
only sincerely regrets that it should
have failed to avail itself of an Oppor-
tunity of securing it.

The aldermen of Kenosha are pre-
pairing a plan for re-districting the
city and its division into nine wards.
This action was urged by Mayor Petit
in his inaugural to the city council,
and there now seems that some action
will be taken on it before the terms of
the present councilmen expire. At the
present time the city has very little
representation on the county board,
and the aldermen intend to increase
this by re- districting the city.

Local and Genera, Tobacco News.


There has been lively transactions in
tobacco affairs in this city for the past
month. Deliveries have been large and
large per cent Of last years crop has
been purchased mid marketed. At
W.stby and Soldiers Grove transactions
ha5e been vigorously made. Tee pack.
ing house have been overrun with goods.
The writer had the pleasure of in
speeding the new packing house OF SUIT
ter Bros. at Madison. Il is mammoth
and expensive building, size SO 100,
three stories high, fitted out with the
most modern appliances for speedily
handling tobacco. 1t is capable Of
storing 5000 cases Of goods, and will be
practically maintained for that purpose.
Suffer Brothers made an eff ,rt to secare
desirable location on which to locate
this great enterprise in Viroqua, but
failed. 1t will thus be seen what we,
as community lost commercially. With
an active business association, we be-
lieye, many enterprises might be Sc.
cured.
The Edgerton Reporter thus comments
on tobacco facts elsewhere in the state:
The movement OF the '98 crop is pro-
ceeding under similar conditions that
have prevailed for several weeks past.
The growing districts are still hunted
for the unsold remnants and sales are a.
| frequent as agreements can be reached
upon terms. Buyers in the field contend
that from rs to 80 per cent of the crop
has already passed from first hands and
the present rate of buying is reducing
the balance very fast. At least there is
far less tobacco remaining unsold now
than year ago this date and the pros
poets point to clearing up crop very
closely in the bundle.
Taking all the facts into consideration
Wisconsin tobacco growers seem to be
especially fortunate in having a ready
sale for their product this year and at
prices too that are surprising the more
conservative firms in the trade. Every
cigar leaf producing state harvested q
bumper crop this season, in the sggre-
gate larger amour. Of tobacco than
was ever before grown in the country.
The better crops of Wisconsin '9S are
showing up some remarkable fine grad
ing as they are run over the sorting
tablet. A packer reports to us that ont
OF 100 case lot, SO per cent ran to the
5, 6, 7, and 8 A grsdes. This means ex-
tremely leafy tobacco and very much
larger than the usual run of crops. Be-
sides this character of leaf il light in
color, thin in texture and beautiful to
look upon. There is certain percent
age Of this class of leaf in the '68 crop
the like of which thu state has never
before produced, The regret is that
there is not more of similar kind in
the crop.
