Tobacco Notes.

Fl. McInnes is at Boscobel and Sol
diers Grove this week looking after to-
bacco matters.
Mel johnson left for Westby Monday
evening to sample packing of tobacco
for Mabbett & Hopkins.
E. G. Hopkins left for Vernon county
Sunday evening to check up and list a
packing of 1900 tobacco purchased by G.
E. Mabbett and himself of Goldberg
Bros. & Go. at Westby several weeks ago.
The American Tobacco Co. are in the
market for three million brick to be
used in building warehouse extensions
at Madison and Sparta this season.
Mr.. N. P. Strauss and W. r. Earle were
in this market for short stay Friday.
Mr.. A. johnson, agent of the Milwau-
kee road at Westby, and also a member
of a firm of tobacco packers at that
place, was visitor in this market Mon
day. He has lately closed out the last
of his '99 packing to the American To
bacco Co.
Henry Friedman and Cap Campbell
of Chicago were at GAINESVILLE and Or
fcrdville last week and closed a deal for
the purchase of the Soverhill & Porter
and Peterson & Tallefrud packings OF
new goods for the firm of J. Friedman &
Co. Concerning the former sale the
Gazette says:
The packing included 1000 cases and
the consideration was $4,000. The sale
is an important one, not only on account
of it's size, but more especially because
of the price paid. The price, being a
high one, establishes the good standing
of the 1900 crop of Wisconsin tobacco
and goes far towards refuting the
charges made earlier in the season by a
prominent firm that the crop was inferior
in quality. Consequently the signii-
canoe and value of the sale extends be-
yond this one business transaction alone
and effects materially all the local deal
ers and in fact all holders of new Wis
consin leaf. It will have an influence on
the market that will be warmly well
coined by dealers and growers as addi-
tional evidence of the excellence of the
1900 crop of Wisconsin tobacco. The sale
included what is known in tobacco cir
cles as Soverhill & Porter's entire pack
ing, being the high grades of leaf from
table filters up. The cheaper filters were
sorted out and Soverhill & Porter have
1000 cases of from 3 to cent leaf which
they have packed for export.
Stewart B. Heddles and wife will sail
from New York on June 15 for Europe
on the Cunard steamship Campania.
Mr.. and Mrs. Heddles will visit England,
Germany and Holland before they re-
turn. They expect to be gone about
two months and Mr.. Heddles will visit
the principle tobacco markets of Ger
many and Holland before he returns.
He already has an extensive acquaint-
ance with the dealers of European mar
kets and has made large shipments to

The Source Of Bad Government.

"The Gripping curse OF American
municipal government Is political
meddling and State Interference" says
Bird S. Coler in Everybody's Magazine.
every city Is, in one sense, the crea-
ture OF a Sta tie, because 1t must have
charter, a corporate existence which
must come from the larger division OF
government. It seems to be fixed
policy of our politics that what State
creates it can cripple, rob or destroy
with impunity. More than half the
bad city government in this country is
traceable directly to vicious or unneces-
sary legislation. When one political
party or faction is in power In great
municipality, and another in power in
the State, the city becomes the battle.
ground of conflicting political interests,
and corrupt or incompetent govern
ment invariably results.
at is difficult, perha rs impossible,
to provide safe and effective constltu-
tional method to prevent State legisla-
lures from interfering in the local
affairs of cities; but public opinion
and political sagacjty can be, and
should be, developed to the point
where they can guarantee homo rule.
Charters should be carefully and intelii-
gently drawn or amended to fit the
geographical, commercial, and financial
conditions of a city, and then they
ought to have fair trial before they
are marred or partially nullifed by
special legislation. They should pro-
vide broad, liberal and secure frame
work for the development of progress
sive and honest local government, then
good citizenship and public spirit must
do the rest"

Grip Contagious.
S. H, in Atlanta Journal.

S. H., in Atlanta Journal.
Since it has been declared that grip
is contagious it has put persons upon
their guard, and well it has, for 1t Is
such distressing disease and leaves
system in such depressing condition.
Perhaps a little item told me BY our
good, wise physician may be OF some
use to my sisters Il, the South. He
says we must guard against letting tbs
children use the same towel. Where
there are several small ones in house
hold they are apt to wire their little
hands and faces upon the same one.
II child has cough or any symp-
toms of grip be or she will probably
communicate it to the others. As it Is
said to he so infectious no doubt it is
often communicated in such a way.
Then another hygienic item is the
laundering OF ones handkerchiefs and
towels. These who have case of grip,
no matter how slight it 1s, their towels
and handkerchiefs should not be put in
the family wash, blu: carefully put in
place to themselves out In the open air
and washed alone in strong, boiling
suds of pearline, end through two such
suds and then rlnsed in hot water and
hung out in the open air to dry. This
may POSSIBLY destroy any germs that
may be in them. Persons heretofore
have not thought grip contagious, and
did not exercise much thought regard
ing such matters, like in cases of fever,
ETC., but it is dangerous disease and
we should ward it off by every means
in our power, as it leaves our loved
ones weak and ill for weeks. If this
little item is not already known and
acted upon by mothers it smay be of
some help, and tn at is all I want.

Holding q Senate Session at the
White House.


Joe Mitchell Chapple, in The National Magazine
for March.
In one OF the great Senate rushes at
the White House portals after the army
bill had passed, there were upwards OF
thirty Senators gathered in the corri-
doris, to say nothing OF twice as many
congressman, waiting to see the Presi-
dent in the interest of applicants from
their States seeking army appoint
ments. General Hawlsy pulled an I'M
lighted cigar, nervous!y swinging bis
cane as he sat near the door. Senators
Mcmillan and Burrows came arm In
arm, ready to pull together Tor some
State interest Senator Mason, with
his overcoat on his arm-saying moth
Ing. As long as there is single egg
left in the basket the rush continues.
The crecendo of colloquy suggests
hotel lobby at political convention, or
an overgrown church social. Secretary
Cortelyou, cool and collected, listened
to rival claims, sometimes two at once
one at each cara pen perched at
an acute angle suggesting a sort OF
aural cheval de frisc. Captain Loeffler,
the veteran doorkeeper, handled the
throng of distinguished visitors as
tactfully as a rush at "pueh" recep-
ton. 1t wac, altogether, "busy days"
at the White House, recalling an old
time office seekers rush of '85.
Young army officers, tall and short,
fat and leau, with regulation braid &C.
curing their ovarcoats, stood at "atten-
ton" as the Senators joined in the
"push and pull" session. A president
pro tenn only was needed, to make up a
quorum and hold session Of the Sem
ate right ON the spot. These appoint
ments were for llfe-and indeed it was
a life struggle with many OF them.
Members who had so vigorously fou ght
the army bill were now in the fore
front of the struggle for appointments.
Many of the manly young officers were
accompanied by mothers, wives, sisters
and sweethearts who were interested in
the promotions that meant so much
for the cavalier in brass buttons.

BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION,

The skin is the seat of an almost end.
less variety of diseases. They are kncwn
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that initiate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
TO have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations OF
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for short time, but cannot remove per-
manent1y the ugly blotches and the red,
disfguring pimples.
Eternal vigilance Is tho price
