The Tobacco outlOOk.

Tobacco in Vernon county will soon
be ready for the harvest Crops have
made wonderful strides toward maturi-
~ during the past week. In spite of
| the continued prevalence of rainy weAth-
er plants are everywhere in splendid
condition and the prospects for large
product of No. l tobacco in the county
We're never better. The Viola Intelli-
gercer says; Tobacco il looking splen-
did as a rule and with favorable condi-
lions from now ON will make a heavy
crop. John w. Sellars has one of the
hnest crops ever raised in this section.
he topped it about a week 81 and il

The Edgerton Tobacco Rept s SAYS
of the condition of the crop in g shern
Wisconsin: The condition of = grow
ing crop is not as satisfactor : t the
present writing as it gave am : prom.
Use of mp to this time. Two : ks of
almost continuous rainy wes = has
proven trying conditions TO : early
set fields. The ground had ! 5,me SO
water soaked that s5plants
have not only failed to develop the usr
al size of leaf. bnt on land not wen
drained there has been a tendency TO
shoot up to an early bud with too few
leaves to the stalk These circumstan-
ces all conspire to give the early set
fields growth below expectations
The absence of sunshine has prevented
the development after topping and it is
quite possible the washing out the to-
bacco will be noticeable in the cured
leaf. Had the rainy season continued
much longer rotting in the fel5s would
have occnred, and rust had begun, also.
to show ON low grounds The amount
OF rain fall has been without precedent
at this season of the year. Fortunately,
however, only portion Of the crop has
been under the ban of the element up
to date. With the advent of warm
weather and sunshine the balance of the
crop mas yet chance TO reach its usual
perfection, especially that which has
yet to be topped The outlook at pre-
'ent is that the later set fields Rave a
how of producing the better tobacco
The harvest will commence in limited
way the coming week

CHANGE IN TRAIN SERVICE.
Viroqua Branch to Connect With New Train Be-
tween La Crosse and Milwaukee.

! On Monday morning the time of the
arrival of the passenger was changed tc
$50 a. M, and hereafter Viroqua citi
zens will have to wals something like
an hour later for their mail This
change was introduced because of the
new train service between La Crosse
and Milwaukee just installed by the
Milwaukee road. The company placed
two new trains on between these two
cities. This one going east will leave
Sparta at :56 a. N. and the Viroqua
branch train will be held until after
that hour. The return train will leave
Sparta at about 10 o'clock p. m. Under
this new arrangement Viroqua people
will be much more closely connected
with La Crosse than heretofore. The
time of the arrival and departure of the
evening train on the branch will remain
unchanged, but the morning freight
will leave at $50.
The Sparta Democrat says: ''These
trains, and especially the train east in
the morning, havs long been crying
needs, there having been up to this time
no local train east from about II o'clock
at night until 81 the next afternoon,
and they are hailed with joy by the
people in this vicinity and the travelling
fraternity in general
1t is said that La Crosse business men
have been working for this service for
some time.

irit uDOR Or GARLIC CONQUERED
Even She who Wasn't Bit stuck
Up Had to Leave Her Seat

Two Italian workmcn found two
empty seats in a Brooklyn trolley car
and pumped themselves and their
bundles into them. On their right sat
a pretty, well-dressed girl.
Presently she turned her face to-
ward them, look of disgust came
over it, and with upifted nose she
arose and quietly stood in front of the
empty seat, holding on to the strap.
Near her stood another girl. not quite
so we'll dressed, who watched the lit
tie scene. When the annoyance was
plain on the first girls face, the sec
ond girl stepped forward. swi2hed her
skirts like challenge and sat down
i'll the empty seat with an expression
on her face that said plainly, well,
I'm not ashamed to sit by working
men" In less than a minute there
came over the second girls features a
look of suspicion that yielded to one
of embarrassment and chagrin, and in
a manner half-meek and half-defiant,
She too, stood up and grabbed a strap.
She did not look at the now smiling
first girl. BY this time, says the New
York Mail and Express, other persons
in the car understood and held their
noses. 1t was garlic.
