On Friday, August 18th, at Jackson,
Tennessee, the marriage of Miss Mamie
johnson to Mr.. w. A. Jones was solem-
nized. Mr.. Jones, formerly of Chicago,
has for some time been employed in The
Southern Boiler and Engine Works at
Jackson. He is an expert machinist.
The couple will reside at Jackson.
Miss johnson was born and reared in
the vicinity of Edgerton and is widely
and favorably known. In her chosen
work as primary teacher she has al
ways been exceptionally successful. Her
genial and sympathetic nature and So
liability endeared her to the scores of
little folks she has had under her super
vision and won for her numerous friends
in every community where she has lived.
Last spring she concluded eight success
sive years of service in the primary de-
partment of the Evansville, Wis, schools.
The brides friends regret that Mr..
and Mrs. Jones will reside in a distant
state and yet heartily congratulate both
on the excellent choice each has made
and wish them many happy and prosper
Gus years together in their southern
home.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

The work of harvesting the 1900 crop
of tobacco was begun about the first
week in August. Perhaps some very
early fields were housed little earlier.
Early last week we had fine rain, and
after some nice showers, a few growers
were induced to stop cutting in the hope
that the moist as we'll as warm days
would benefit the crop. They are con-
scious that the leaf is much better for
the week delay. An experienced grower
tells us he is satisfied that the crop on
his 10 acres has improved, and that he
was we'll repaid for the delay, He claims
that his crop is now better than that of
last years crop. The leaf is larger and
more mature.
There are in some localities large num-
bers of grasshoppers, which employ their
time in eating holes in the leaves, and in
other fields calico is found in greater
abundance than is desirable. The growth
is claimed by the growers to be very fine
and good. Some fields show lack of
evenness, owing to the stocking over to
fill vacancies caused by the cut worms.
Such fields should be allowed to stand
as long as possible, and not to entail loss
to the earlier ripened.

THE Whitewater Register draws com
parison between the conditions existing
during President Lincoln's administra-
ton and those which prevail today.
There is much truth in what the Regis
ter says:
when the war of the rebellion broke
out in 1861, President Lincolns admin
istration was Loyalty sustained by very
large portion of the democratic party of
the NORTH and it is safe to say that the
result would not have reached the final
happy issue if tens of thousands of citi-
zens who had refused him their votes in
1860, had not given him sincere and
steadfast support at home and in the
field from 1861 to 1865. In view of this
very satisfactory memory how sharp is
the contrast of the conduct of some of
the so-called democrats of the present
time, who for mere partisan advantage,
are doing all in their power to embarrass
the administration in the new and diff
cult complications brought upon it
through an unexpected but righteous
foreign war. There are but two parties
now said the great Senator Douglas in
1861, patriots and traitors Why is the
same characterization not all true now
as then? How can those claim to be
patriots who are giving all the aid and
comfort possible to the enemy which
the constituted authorities of the gov
eminent are seeking to subdue in lawful
warfare? 1t is allowable to differ on
governmental policy but when our
country is at war with a foreign foe let
petty opposition at home be suspend ed

ENGLAND, in her present need of
money has found it to her advantage to
come to America to borrow and finds no
trouble in placing $5O,OOO,0OO of her
bonds here and Americans find it to their
advantage to make the loan, because of
the higher rate of interest offered than
can be had here, Prosperity has made
America lender instead of a borrower as
was the case a few years ago.

A VERY general impression prevails
that the Wisconsin electorate is to vote
upon four proposed constitutional
amendments in the fall to-wit:
1-Forbidding public officials to use
railway and other passes.
2-Permitting the state to aid in road
building.
3-Empowering the legislature to
amend the banking law
4-Enabling the legislature to increase
the state uperintendent's salary.
But this impression is erroneous. No
such proposed amendments are to come
before the electors the present year ex-
zcept in an incidental manner The con-
stitutiOn specifies how amendments are
proposed, submitted and adopted. First
they must pass each house of the legis-
.lature by a majority vote. Then they
must be published for three months
previous to the time of holding the next
general election" and then passed by the
legislature chosen at that election, the
theory of the authors of the fundamen-
tai law being that the voters should be
~cognizant of the fact that the senators
and assemblymen for whom they might
vote were to have imposed upon them
the important duty of aiding in passing
or rejecting constitutional amendment.
II in its turn this Legislature, by each
house giving it majority, acts favorably
upon the proposition, then the amend
ment goes to the people at the ensuing
general election for ratification or rejec-
ton. The last legislature having passed
four proposed amendments indicated
above they will merely be published off
cially this fall. If passed by the legis.
lature next winter, then in the fall two
years hence they will be found part OF
the official ballots to be voted for OF
against by the people. But this fall
they play no direct part whatever in the
election. Madison Democrat.

a few dozen eggs were stored away for
use in hot weather. A can of eggs Id
opened only when needed, and the on
tents Immediately used. Thus the
cloudy and decaying eggs find a mar
ket at prices that pay the Gamers and
save the tanners money.
The vast quantities of egg shells OBJ.
tained from these canneries are also
sold for various purposes: They are
both utilized for making commercial
fertilizers and for manufacturing
some of the numerous hen foods that
are now put on the market. In order
to make the hens lay o eggs in
winter it is necessary to feed them
with lime.forming food, such as green
bone, clam and oyster shells. The egg
shells are even better than any Of
these, for they contain the exact sub
stances tat the hens require in their
systems to facilitate the work of ma
ture In producing eggs. So hen food
that contains q fair amount of ground
or powdered egg shells is excellent for
stimulating the birds to greater ener-
gies in winter.

whether they wished to argue the case,

be submitted without argument. The
jury went out, and Immediately re-

Words Born in the WAR;

II will be interesting to note what
marks the present war will leave on
our manners, customs and language.
A big war has results of this kind.
The wars with Napoleon gave us "Wel-
Iingtons," "Bluchers," and probably,
the long military cloak. The Russian
war supplied tbs with a new name for
girls, "Alma," broke down the military
monopoly OF a fringed upper lip, and
made the long familiar sight OF his
polished mahogany obsolete for the
Englishman who reached the stage Of
his dinner when dessert Is laid and the
wine goes round. That war made
mustaches common and "coasters'' a
curiosity. The great Franco-Prussian
campaign had comparatively little So
cial influence on u~s-probably because
We were not actual belligerents. We
learned to take interest in maneuvers.
d word which soon superseded the old
"shatn fights" AS yet the present war
has Influenced more our language than
our customs. Trekking, outspanning,
veldt, laager are slipping into use.
Khaki has become a familiar color.
and colonial uniform familiar In
our streets. We may each note for
ourselves these indirect, unobtrusive,
but probably lasting influences of the
War.-London News,

When q preparation has an advertised repu

preparation is meritorious. II you go into
q store to buy an article that has achieved
universal popularity like Cascarets Candy
Cathartic for example, you feel it has the
endorsement of THE world. The judgment OF
the people is iniallible because it is imperso-
nal. The retailer who wants to sell you
''sometAing else" in place of the article you
ask for has an ak to grind. Don't it stand
to reason? He's trying to sell something
that is not what he represents 1t to be. Why2
Because he expects to derive an extra profit
out Of your credulity. Are you easy? Don't
yeu see through his little gamer The man
who will try and cell you q substitute for
Cascarets Is a fraud. Beware of him! Heis
trying to steal the honesty earned benefits Of
q reputation which another business man
has paid for, and if his conscience wi ALLOW
him to 60 so far, he will 90 farther. II he
cheats his customer in n way, he will in
