VIRoQUA, WIS, March 20, 1902.

Notwithstanding the fearful condition
of country roads there was a large
amount of tobacco delivered during last
week. It was trying on horse flesh and
many four and six horse rigs were seen
on the roads plodding along with their
heavy burdens. Thursday and Friday
were big days in this respect.
The largest delivery made this season
was by w. &. Williams of Franklin, who
brought in his 12-acre crop consisting of
2l,65O pounds, which sold for II cents
straight, making a nice little bunch of
S2,59o. 1t required fifteen wagons to
deliver the crop Nels Hendrickson
worked the land for Mr.. Williams and
shared in the profits. Censor.

EDITOR REPORTER: Everything is quiet
in the tobacco section at present. About
four-fifths of the crop in this Rio section
is sold. Prices received will average 10
cents per bound. American Cigar Co.
got the largest slice, about 81 of it, and
the balance goes to GAINESVILLE and Ed
gerton buyers. There was shipped from
Rio rs car loans of leaf tobacco this win
ter. Tobacco checks to the amount of
$4,000 have been cashed at the Rio
State bank since January lst. The acre
age will be increased from 25 to 40 per
cent this year.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Sales to limited extent continue, but
too often there is no price mentioned.
The probabilities are that the prices are
SO small that the seller doesn't care to
have it known. The idea of concealing
the price obtained from his own neigh
bors and personal friends oftentimes
serves to injure the neighbors and
friends. AS it certainly compels them to
admit that though the crop was known
to be good one, and the seller good
Judge of the crop, and fairly posted as to
market conditions no price is given, thus
having the effect of compelling the
neighbors and friends to sell at low
price. Yet the first seller would be mad
if charged with aiding Jew to take in
his friend. The Connecticut Valley has
lost this year fully million dollars by
their hasty sales. It really seems as
though half of the growers were incom-
petent to sell their crop.

The market at GAINESVILLE and vicinity
remains unchanged since last report
Local buyers are not looking up crops to
any extent. Those still in the hands Of
the farmer are on the average cheaper
grade and held too high to warrant in

able for handling goods, and growers
who feel inclined to accept the prices of

JOHN LIND DECLINES.

st. Paul, June 24.-While the Demo-
Gratis Of Minnesota were holding their
county conventions Saturday, electing
delegates to the state gathering, which
meets in Minneapolis next Tuesday.
and ~instructing these delegates TO
nominate John Lind for governor.
Chairman L. A. Rosing at cannon
Falls was reading a letter from the
former governor containing a notifca-
ton that he would not accept a NOM
ination. Mr.. Rosing had known for
some time hat the former governor
a weighing the question of accepting
the nomination which he had
been urged to accept by hundreds
OF Individual Democrats, and had
hoped for another conclusion on the
part Of the former governor. But the
Cannon Falls politician, like the rank
and file Of the party. was doomed to
disappointment. Former Governor
Lind says ne has determined not to ac-
cept a nomination to head the state
ticket this fall. The Office has been
shorn of every vestige Of power by the
legislature, he says, and all there re-
nains to do, in the governors opinion,
is to draw salary. He has had the
honor that goes with the position n
is satisfied.

DYNAMITE IS MADE USE OF
TRACK DYNAMITED IN EVE
PLACES WITHIN FOUR
NILES.
MOTIVE FOR DIED NOT KNOWN
EVIDENTLY A DELIBERATE AT
TEMPT TO DITCH THE CIR
Gus TR

Duluth, June "a. - A desperate at
tempt was made early yesterday
morning TO wreck the first division Of
the Ringing circus train, which ar
rived here shortly before noon over
he Northern Pacific from Ironwood.
The attempt was mad between Maple
and Poplar. Wis, abo twenty miles
east Of Duluth. The distance between
the two stations is four miles, and the
track was dynamited in sever places
within that space. The motive for the
destruction Of the track was explained
by n source in Duluth to AVE been
the hostility Of settlers on the long
disputed Northern Pacific lands be-
tween Duluth and Ashland. But an
altogether different construction Is
put upon the affair by people living in
Maple and vicinity. They say that 1t
was
A Deliberate Attempt
to ditch the circus train. Whether the
motive vas robbery or revenge for
some real or fancied injury is not
known. AS zone of the parties to the
attempted train wrecking could have
= AN SAAS" Nh
the conclusion is that robbery was the
inspiration of the men who blew up
The track. The first division Of the
circus train was delayed several hours
while repairs were being made. 1t vas
about 3 a. m. when the first explosion
occurred. It was heard by some Of
the people in Maple, but they did not
suspect anything wrong was in prog
ress. John Deterling, proprietor of the
Maple hotel, n eleven guests all
heard the explosion, and some Of them
heard more than one report. They
wondered who could be out blasting or
shooting 30 early, and dismissed the
matter from their minds.
Discovered by HOboes.
The b~ombardment was continued at
intervals of perhaps ten minutes, the
sound growing more distant all the
time. If the people Of Maple suspected
nothing, It vas not true of two hoboes
who were sleeping in a o car on a
siding which runs down the main line
for some distance. They realized that
there was something doing" n
when they were satisfied that the dyn-
amiters were far enough off SO as not
to detect them they gave the alarm.
Just about that time a freight train
arrived, going west. The engineer was
warned and the train held. Sentinels
were posted to warn the Ringing
trains, and q crew vas ordered out
from Poplar to make repairs. The
dynamiters had vanished when the
crew went out to examine the track.

PUBLIC SUSPICION AND ALARM

London, June 24.-There has devei-
oped a perfect saturnalia Of lies, half
truths and wild absurdities about King
Edward. his lie alth, his recent life and
the prospects of his wearing the crown
on Thursday.
Since 1t became known that DR.. LAX
Ing was summoned to Aldershot by
special train a week ago the imagina-
lions Of a large numbe Of scandal
Tongers have been at work, with re-
suits almost appalling. The versions
OF the kings illness and it's cause are
SO numerous that it Is hopeless to at
tempt to race them. Many Of them
are false on their face, while a few are
best described as malicious. 1t Is GER
tainly to be regretted that it has not
been considered best to issue a plain
statement Of the kings condition,
signed by the
Attending Physicians.
Instead of this, an attempt has been
made to create the impression that his
indisposition has been so trihing that
It was no more worthy of note han an
ordinary cold. 1t is not alone untrust-
worthy rumors which aroused public
suspicion and alarm. A prominent
member Of the kings household is re-
sponSible for the statement that the
first symptom of his majesty's Illness
was a fainting ft. Two others have
admitted that his sickness was more
serious than the public has been led to
believe. 1t is regarded with some sig
nilcance that DR.. Barlow. the famous
specialist, has taken up his residence
at Windsor castle, where he still re-
mains. 1t is said in explanation Of
this that 1t was simply decided to
leave nc p~recautiOn unobserved for the
Safeguarding of the King
In the three days trying ordeal at the
end Of the week. 1t is further ad-
mitted that the king has become some
what nervous about himself, a result
of his everlasting his strength for the
past few weeks. AS he has great con-
fidence in DIR. Barlow, the latter has
remained at Windsor more as a COM
panion than a physician. There Is not
much doubt, according to the spresent
information, that the king will be
able to return to Buckingham palace
to-day. 1t seems probable. also, that
some authoritative medical statement
will be issued in a day or two in order
10 quiet the most alarming reporIS. IL
is an unpleasant thing that the cold
Flooded business estimate of the kings
condition prevailing in the city yes
terday should have led to a demand
for 10 per cent premium for insurance
on his majesty's life for two months.
No Truth In Them.
Various wild rumors current In Lon
don last night concerning the health Of
King Edward were referred to Sir
Fra ncis Knollys, private secretary to
the king. To these queries Sir francis
has telegraphed the following from
Windsor castle: There is not one
word of truth in these reports"

Mental Effects of Diets In London.
An exclusively pork diet tends infalli-
bly, to pessimism. Beef, II persevered in
for months, makes a man strong, ener-
getic and audacious. A mutton diet,
continued in for any length Of time,
tends to melancholia, while v~eal-eaters
gradually lose energy and gayety. The
II ee use OF eggs and milk tend to make
women healthy and vivacious. Butter,
used in excess, renders its users phelm-
attic and lazy. Apples are excellent for
brain-workers, and everybody who has
much intellectual work to do should eat
them, freely. Potatoes, on the contra
ry, render one dull, idvidious and lazy,
