THE LATE JOHN McKEON


John McI<eon, an old and respected
resident of this city, died at his home,
141 Wolcott street, in Fair Haven,
Wednesday morning, after a long,
painful illness. He was born in Ire
land more than sixty years ago, and
came to this country with his parents,
when only five years of age. He had
lived in this city for more than fifty
years, and had always taken an active
interest in all public affairs pertaining
to the growth and prosperity of the
city.
For over twenty years he was con-
tractor in the New Haven Clock shop,
but retired from business about fifteen
years ago, and had since lived upon the
income of his property, of which he
leaves a considerable amount. He was
twice married, his first wife dying sew
eral years ago. The second survives
him, together with three children by his
first wife. They are William, who
holds a position in Hearne's dry goods
establishment in New York; John j.,
who is cerk at the Scoville house, Wa
terbury; and Mrs. Catherine O'Leary
who resides in New Britain.
The funeral will take place from
his late residence at 8 o'clock a. m.
to-day, and solemn high mass will be
celebrated at St. Francis church at
$3.50 o'clock.

HUNTER MEETS WITH MIsHAP.

Seymour, Oct. 25.-Frank Beecher,
while hunting, the first part of the
week, met with an accident which will
conf1ne him to the house for some
days.
He was cunning with Robert Corn
fourth over in Woodbridge and in at
tempting to go under a barb wire fence
he tripped over wire that lay hidden
in the leaves and was thrown to the
ground. The force was somewhat in
creased because of the fact that he at
tempted to hold his gun up, which thus
prevented him from saving himself.
Cornfourth went to his assistance and
succeeded in getting him home, where
upon Dr. Benedict was called and dress
ed the wounds.

THE RAINBOW AND THE BRIDE.

Just as she crossed the threshold,
With her loved one at her side;
The youthful happy hearted,
The trustful, loving bride;
Clouds, which had shed their raindropsr
AS she plighted her sacred troth,
Parted, as if by magic,
And their grey-cold frowning froth
Made way for the wondrous rainbow
Painted in colors bright,
1t seemed as if the angels
Had plead for dear sunlight
And God had shown His promise
In the tints that spanned the sky
That their love should last forever;
SO pure, 1t could not die
Crossing her loved homes portal,
Beneath those colors bright,
Transplendent hues enhancing
The guests who caught the sight;
There ran through hearts comfort,
No words can ever tell
The promise in the heavens
A rainbow weddngbel

LIVELY TOBACCO.
Viroqua Tobacco Dealer Makes Suggestions for
Taking Down and Handling the Goods
Fred Fckhardt has sent to an far

! Fred Eckhardt has sent to all farmers
with whom he has contracts for tobacco
purchases, a code of suggestions. and
we presume other dealers have done the
same. The CENSOR gives the infor-
nation herewith in full:
In taking down your tobacco from
the poles great care should be taken
that it does not come in high case or
dripping and should be stripped OFF the
stock as soon a. taken down, not allow
ing it to remain in the pile too long be-
fore stripping, thereby preventing it
from tanning or swea ting. and all dam
a@ Il leaves to be kept ont such as rust
e] busU and tam rot. Be careful rot
80 get any dead. JrsspY leaves in your
bundles DO not want the tobacco
pressed hard in she bundles, which il
often done. but make your bundles SO
that the paper laps well and do not
make your bundles to weigh more than
from 30 to 40 pounds. BY following
these instructions you will prevent
trouble when receiv ing, which is always
unpleasant 10 both buyer and grower.
The damp weather of Saturday, Sun
day and Monday has caused o scramble
in good portion of the tobacco curing
sheds of Vernon county, and work has
progressed throughout the nights in
hundreds of cases in order to take the
goods down before they attained too
high case. 1t is unusually early to take
tobacco from the poles, and it mean >
that the crop rs a whole will be earlier
marketed than ever before in this sec
tion
The local dealers are preparing their
warehouses for the receiving and pack
ing season, and ii is safe to say that it
will be a lively winter in Viroqua in to-
bacco employment. AT Westby NJ. II.
Bekkedal has purchased the company
warehouse he has used for some years.
We are advised that he has thus early
commenced to receive and sort crops.
The Edgerton Tobacco Reporter says
winter has now so completely closed in
that the tobacco farmers can devote
their attention to handling their tobacco
when casing weather ensues again.
Some good hard freezes of late has taken
out about all the mo isture remaining in
stock and stem and left the hanging leaf
in condi tion so it can safely be removed
from the poles in whatever quantities
desired There win be little danger
now from heating in the bulk, or bundles
where the tobacco is kept in sheds er
cool rooms Some trouble was expert
enced with t. e taken down early from
this source. But what the growers
must continually guard against is to see
that their tobacco does not reach too
high case before it is moved from the
poles.
