An Interesting Ball Game.

On last Saturday the Graham and Taze'
we'll base ball teams crossed bats at this
place. The game was an exceedingly In
teresting one and was closely contested.
Not a single score was made by either side
until the 4th inning when both. .iteams
scored once. In the 5th both scored
again and at the end of the 9th the score
stood 5 to 8 in favor of Tazewell. Both
teams played good ball and at the ending
of the 7th it seemed that they would have
to play over the required nine innings to
decide the game. The score stood as
follows at the end of the game:

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

The trade of the United States witt
Mexico is constantly increasing Ovel
half of the total imports received in thai
country during the year 1900 went from
the United States.
The reason assigned by all who now ia
vor proclaiming the Constitution is thai
they fear it will be defeated if submitted
to the people, even to an abridged electo
rate. This is an acknowledgment that the
convention is going to transcend its legiti-
mate powers and wrong the people.
We hear good many voters expressing
the opinion that Col. j. S. Browning is the
proper man to nominate as the Republi-
can candidate for the State Senate, to rep
resent the counties of Tazewell, Russell,
Buchanan and Dickinson. 1t would be
very wise to make him our candidate. he
is fine stump speaker and would make
an aggressive campaign.
1t has been gratifying to note the almost
universal sympathy for the President IN
his Lours of peril and suffering. This was
sincere and came from men of all classes,
all parties and all races. There has been
but one sentiment with the reputable
press of the county, and that the kind
est. If the President RECEIVERS, the Ameri'
can people will be dearcr to him than ever
before, and every act Of his public life has
shown that his people and his country
were very dear to him.
There are but two men who have been
prominent in American politics who have
made themselves Infamous by showing a
la ok of sympathy for President Mckinley
after he was shot by the assassin at Buff
falo. One of these is Senator Wellington,
of Maryland, and the other is ex. Governor
Altged, of Illinois. Wellington expressed
himself like brute when he was inter
viewed by a Baltimore newspaper, and
Altgeld made brutal attack on the Presl'
dent in speech which he delivered in
New York last Saturday night at Henry
George birthday dinner. The brutal con-
duct of these two men, who have held
honorable and exalted public positions,
ought to couple their names with infamy
for all time.

CITY OF FOO-CH0W SWEPT BY FIRE
One MiIIisn Dollars Damage DOne In the
Business Portion and Many Persons
Killed in Fights Over the Loot.

Vancouver, BIC. Sept. 9.-The steamer
Tartar, of the Canadian Pacific feet, has
arrived from the Orient with news of the
burning of the business portion of the
city of Foo. Chow, China. Over 81 ,OOO,OOO
damage was done and many persons are
said to have been killed in fights over the
loot.
The fire occurred on August 20 and
was caused by the overturning Of lamp
in a native undertaking establishment.
Hundreds of acres of business houses
were destroyed and many people persisted
in the fire, which burned the greater part
of two days Europeon proprietors of the
business houses and large Chinese mer'
chants were the heaviest sufferers.
During the progress of the fire and
Immediately after it the coolie native pop
ulation commenced looting the half burn
ed buildings. The Chinese police, under
their European officers, were unable to
prevent the looting except in small de-
gree and before the second evening had
passed large number of regular soldiers
were called out. At that time many peo-
pie had been killed in fights and there
were dead bodies in every street. Five
men were killed by the falling of a three
story building.
The carnage on the streets was awful.
The soldiers, mounted. dashed up the
main thoroughfares stabbing to death or
trampling under horses feet the robbers
who were CARRYING away goods in every
direction. Even though knocked down,
the natives who were running away with
stolen goods held on to their bundles.
The horsemen thrust them through the
legs or arms with swords to make them
drop these and even then some of the
coolies clung with such desperation that
they were put to death where they were.
The wounded we're taken away in ambu-
lances and were being treated in the hos
pitals when the Tarter sailed from China.

SOME TOBACCO FACTS.

There has been large quantities of
tobacco delivered in Viroqua the past
week. coming from all directions and in
many instances from great distances
In all the receiving points of the county
the same conditions prevail. The new
headstown house opened a week ag,
and Is doing rushing business. 1t i,
claimed to be the largest and best ware
mouse In the county. There is still Q
great amount OF tobacco to be taken
from the poles, and weather suitable fo'
taxing down is anxiously awaited The
present outlook is that it will be well
advanced towards spring before the last
deliveries Of the 1900 crop are made.
There were shipped from Viroqua
during the past year 220 carloads of
bundle tobacco.
OF other Wisconsin handling points
the Edgerton Tobacco Reporter says:
The packing of the new crop has pro-
ceeded far enough TO determine that the
loss to growers from shed damage is
the most extensive of any season since
the 1882 crop. The shed arm of that
year was a serious damage, but never
since then has any serious defect hap
pened to curing of the crop of much
moment until last season. Stem rot has
peeH comparatively an unknown QamaSe
in cased Wisconsin leaf for long time
until this year. but the weather during
the early portion of the curing season
was particularly favorable to this If jury
and the crowding of sheds in the hurry
and rush of a harvest helped along the
damage. 1t is now quite generally con-
coded hat the loss to the grower from
ell csI ses will range from 10 10 & per
cent. of the crop, while in exceptional
cases the damage will far exceed that
amouaI. Even after good leaf has
been thrown out by the grower at strip
ping, the warehouse reflections at the
sorting tables run up we'll towards the
figures above quoted. What shortage
results from wet or high case leaf is
most generally due TO the carelessness
of the grower. but the other deductions
relate to causes over which the grower
had little control. 1t is so rare that
Wisconsin growers have to submit to
dockage at delivery time that the ex-
perience of the present crop seems hard
to reconcile, and no doubt many feel
that they have not been fairly treated
in the settlements.
