HOME GROWN TOBACCO.
An Industry That Promises Well For the
Future.

The Minneapolis Journal in COM
menting upon the tobacco and the inn
provement in the Cuban product, re-
fers to the home grown product as
follows:
"The fact is emphasized by Mime
apolis wholesalers and importers, that
home grown tobacco is taking a very
important place in the markets of the
world. Connecticut tobacco is improv-
ing in quality every year, the reason
being that the farmers growing it
have learned the art of fertilizing
effectively and of curing properly.
But the most radical advance made by
any tobacco growing region is that of
Wisconsin, from which state tobacco is
now being used all over the United
States for manufacturing the cheaper
grades of cigars.
SIN Southern Minnesota the expert
ment of tobacco cropping is now being
tried on fairly large scale, and
the opinion is expressed among tobacco
buyers here that Minnesota will be-
fore every long include tobacco as one
of her important crops -

LOOK OUT FOR YOUR HAT.

AS though we had not had enough
nasty weather for the past ten days
the weather bureau is predicting some
extremely windy weather to follow the
present mix-up. The rain yesterday
was general all over the middle west,
extending in a broad belt from north
.ern Mexico for up into Canada, but
missing northern Minnesota and the
Red river valley. Light SHOWS were
reported at Helena, Mont, with fall
in temperature to "a degrees. Havre,
Mont, reports fall of % degrees !;
Swift Current, Northwest territory, 20
degrees, and other points less There
was a corresponding rise in tempera-
ture at Winnipeg, where the thermo-
meter was up % degrees, and at Moor
head, where it was up 90 degrees.
The rain, it seems, is to be followed
by high winds, which it is feared may
cause much damage on the lakes.
There is an area of very low pressure
in the western Dakotas, which insures
heavy winds from the southeast.

BICYCLISTS HELD.
Sidewalk Ordinance to be En-
forced Hereafter.
Two Young Men Arrested Tuesday
For Using the Walks On Sec
Ond Street.

The ordinance which forbids bicycle
riding ON the sidewalks on Front and
Second streets and the cross streets be-
tween those streets is to be enforced
hereafter. Monday afternoon Mayor
Currier directed Chief Bowen to en-
force the ordinance, and the chief
transmitted the order to the patrol
men. The mayor states that many
complaints of fast riding disregard of
the rights of the pedestrians, and the
danger to children, have been made to
him.
Two gentlemen fell victims to the
ordinance Tuesday near the post
office. Officer Morrow found Albert
Hughes on the sidewalk at seven
O'Clock and handed his name to Officer
OImstead. who directed him to appear
in the municipal court at nine O'Clock.
At about the same time, Officer Ohm
stead found Paul Barney riding on the
forbidden walk and invited him to at
tend meeting of bicycle riders at the
city hall at nine clock. Both gentle
men had ridden down Broad street
from their homes and had turned down
to Second to reach the post Office, 60
ing only a block or two on Second
In the municipal court, Mr.. Hughes
pleaded guilty and was sentenced to
pay a fine of So and costs, or So. 60 in
all Mr. Barney consulted 81. L.
Schmitt, who happened to be in the
court room at the time, and decided
to resist the prosecution. He took I'M
til the next morning to plead, in the
meantime having the charge reduced
to writing. ...
Chief Bowen states that the ordi-
nance will be enforced from now on.
In other parts of the city the side
walks can be used under certain re-
strictions when the roadways are i'm
passible.
The complaints have come to the
mayor since the present wet spell be-
gan, owing to the reckless riding of
some persons.
Hans johnson was arrested Tuesday
afternoon for riding ON the sidewalk
and paid a fine of $3.50.

A BEGGAR'S NEWSPAPER.

The beggars of Paris have several
newspapers, printed and published for
their special benefit. There are about
5000 professionals in the city, which
makes a pretty fair constituency for a
trade paper. One of the odd dailies is
called the "Bon Guide 1t gives a
complete list of the baptisms, weddings
and funerals to take place on that day,
so that the readers may be posted as to
the best place to pursue their calling.
For begging-letter writers there is a
list of the addresses, arrivals and de-
partures of persons of known charitable
disposition. The paper is a mine of
information to its readers. Its adver-
tisements are peculiar to the business
and read somewhat as follows
WANTED, a blind man to play the
flute, " or "Wanted, for a fashionable
watering place, a one-armed man
good references; security required. :"
Beggars are generally poorly nour-
ished in body. If they were not so,
people would not be apt to give. 1t is
safe to say that none of the Paris beg
gars drink ''Golden Grain Belt" beer
People who use it are at once improved
and built up in health. These beers,

FRUIT AND PRODUCE.
Few Changes in the Record for the Past
Week.

Few Changes in the Record for the Past
Week.
In its business review of the north
west for the past week the Minneapo-
Ills Times says:
There are few changes to record of
the fruits and produce market for the
past week, and more important staples,
such as butter, poultry dressed meats,
with the exception of pork, and pota
toes, ruling steady and unchanged.
The exceptions are eggs, dried beans
and peas. The egg market shows full
cent advance from previous week S
price. The speculative call is heavy,
with an unusually large amount going
into storage for the season of the year,
which is forcing values up to a point
ruling at the same time year ago,
10 cents. Cooler weather is favorable
to heavy consumption, and retailers
are finding large outlet for their pur-
chases The shipping call is also of
good proportions.
Fruit values are we'll maintained,
though there is some weakness in a
few lines, such as cranberries, domes-
tic pears and winter apples, owing to
heavy receipts. There have also been
nominal reductions in some varieties
of west coast fruits, receipts of which
have been heavy, but the market has
cleared up well and is in good condi-
ton. The lack of demand incident to
the cooler weather has caused reduc-
ton of % cents per box for lemons.
Sweet poptatoes are % to 80 cents per
barrel lower, on account of increased
arrivals. Grapes are coming more
freely and values are lower.
Statistics on the cranberry situa-
tion, as given by prominent New
Jersey grower, are more favorable than
earlier estimates. Cape Cod is esti-
mated at % per cent below last year s
figure, which means a reduction of
$50, 600 bushel. Wisconsin will fall
even lower, the estimate being 80 and
30 per cent. New Jersey promises %
per cent more. The total yield last
year was 1, 1870, 900 bushels, of which
Cape Cod supplied $50, 900, New Jer-
sey $50, 600 and Wisconsin 100, 900.
The indicated yield this year is Cape
Cod 600, 900, New Jersey 800, 900 and
Wisconsin co. 900.
''As the reports concerning the dam
age from the hurricane which swept
northward from the gulf states come
in it seems that very few northern
states entirely escaped the ravages of
the gale. Apples and pears suffered
everywhere, and in some localities
along the lake fronts were entirely de-
stroyed and the trees uprooted. Other
sections were not so severely injured
but all will have reduced yield of
No. 1 fruit as a consequence.

The Democrats have gone into the
claim business again and as result of
their co inference in Chicago yesterday
claim Bryan's election hands down.
In the west they are going to have
everything without exception. Sha-
froth, of Colorado, said that all of the
mountain states would be for Bryan,
though he admitted that there had
been great growth of expansion SEN
timent, but thought it could be over
come. J. Ham Lewis of Washington,
could see no chance on the Pacific
coast, and admitted that Mckinley
was likely to carry all of them. New
York, Indiana and Michigan were
solidly claimed for Bryan. The rain
bow chasers have the electoral vote of
Indiana by 49, 600. Committeeman
O'Brien told them that Bryan could
not carry Minnesota, but Lind would
have it dead easy. This was little
disheartening for they have been
so used to carrying Minnesota
along with several other states,
at this time in the campaign that it cast
something ola gloom over the gathering
How ever, it was dispelled when some
one said that Dick Croker was in ear
nest in his support of Bryan, and then
Bryan gave his decision, that that
meant the state was for him anyway.
Take it all around the Democratic
leaders engaged good deal in hug
ging themselves as they did in 1896,
and saw big majorities loom up where
they are not likely to get any at all.

SHEEP AND WOOL.

The sheep of the United States are
worth twice as much money today as
they were at the close of the year 1896.
Then their value was $67, OO0, 900; now
it is over 1922, 900, 600. What is the
reason for this remarkable change?
In 1892, under the Mckinley protec-
tive tariff, the imports of wool
amounted to but 14S, 600, 900 pounds
and the home production was 294,
600, 900 pounds, while the average
price for washed Ohio fleece was 80
cents per pound
In the fiscal year 1897, the closing
year of the Wilson tariff which admit
ted wool free of duty, imports were
800, 600, 900 pounds and the production
only 259, 600, 900 pounds while the
average price, in 1896 was 1871 cents.
In 1899, under the Dingley tariff
which thoroughly protected the wool
growers of the United States, the i'm
ports fell to 76, 900, 900 pounds, the pro-
duction increased to 272, 900, 900
pounds, and the price increased to 90
cents per pound.
1t is not surprising, then. that the
value of the sheep on American farms
fell from $116, 600, 900 in January 6,
1892, to $67, 600, 600 on January 1, 1897,
and that it increased under the restor-
alton of the protective tariff to 1922,
600, 600 on January 1, 1900.
Of course the election of Mr.. Bryan
means the restoration of free wool
That is not only the general Democra-
tic theory but HE SPECIFICALLY
AND CLEARLY ANNOUNCED HIM
SELF, IN DEBATE IN CONGRESS,
IN FAVOR OF FREE WOOL.
There is no feature of our agricu1-
tural or other industries which shows
more clearly the benefits of the protec-
tive policy and the adversely of free
trade than does wool
