State Tobacco Market.

EGgerton, Wis, Sept. 21.-The
Wisconsin Tobacco Reporter says:
THE buying movement in the new
crop has been transferred to the south
ern growing counties almost exclusive
ly of late, where buyers are riding in
nearly all sections. More than half a
hundred men have been interviewing
growers during the week, and in the
aggregate contracts for a good deal of
tobacco placed. The 8 cent mark
seems to be the rallying point around
which most trading is done, though
sales are made above and below this
figure.
1.-The market for old goods shows
but little improvement. A better
demand for export grades has devel-
oped and some fair-sized orders have
been received L. B. earle & Son
report the sale of a couple carloads to
manufactures. The sampling of 1901
packings is being carried on to some
extent and the goods are found to be
in sound condition generally. though
not cured as thoroughly as some other
years.
THE harvest is practically complete
in all sections and the scheduled leaf is
curing quite satisfactorily.
s.The shipments out of storage
reach 81 carloads, 1,346 cases from
this market to all points COR the week
past. Since last report 259 cases Of
cigar leaf exported from New York. T"

Seibers Dog and Pony Show in
Minnesota.

The following from the Record OF
Plainview, Mimi, where the Third an
nual street fair was recently held, in
commenting on the attractions, says:
Among the best and most popular at
fractions that have been drawing large
crowds at the street fair is the Dog and
POW lshOW Of Emil Seibel, of Water
town. Wis. Their exhibition of trained
animals is all that has been claimed for
it, and is certainly all that has been
claimed for it, and is credit to the
management. Out of the large herd
owned by this gentleman, the brightest
ponies have been selected for training
purposes, and in an almost increditable
Short time the trainer has succeeded in
bringing these little animals to perfec-
sion. No pains have been spared to
make these entertainments as accurate
and satisfactory as possible. While this
is the first season that these animals
have been giving public exhibitions, the
performances have been entirely salts
factory. They furnish no end of amuse-
ment for the little folks, who eye the
ponies with envy and likewise the older
people who find these entertainments
worthy of their patronage. The acting
of the ponies and dogs have been unus-
ually good and have won the hearty ap-
plause of the spectators. The riding of
the dog Trixy on the back of Snow
Cloud, the smallest pony in the world, is
a particular feature. This dog will
spring from the back of the pony while
the latter is running and alights on a
stand under which the pony is running;
from there he jumps to the pony's back
as it comes around the ring again. This
feat alone is worth the price of admis-
sion. Teddy, the high diving dog, gives
a free exhibition in front of the tent
previous to each show.
Edward Seibel, son of the owner, and
Prof. Romeo Sebasta, are in charge and
are doing their best to please the people.

Sunday, Sept 20

Outline of Plot.-Turner Opera House,
Sunday, Sept. 20
Judge Morley millionaire, has sem
fenced to long term Of Imprisonment
a river pirate named Dan Gillette. This
is before the play opens. In the first act
we see the docks along the New York
river front, where there is man hurled
into the water. Then we are taken to
Dams junk shop; Jill, a young girl who
is supposed to be Dams daughter, is
really the child of Judge Morley, having
been stolen from her home by Dan in re-
venge for the sentence passed upon him
by the judge years ago. Dan determines
to murder the judge, and the old mans
partner, Henry Holland, who loves the
judges adopted daughter, Helen Morley,
is in the plot and he duplicates Helen.
The next act shows the Hotel de Bum,"
where lot of shady characters congre-
gate. They have a good time, but they
are waiting there for the coming of
their chief, Dan. The plot thickens,
and in the third act preparations have
been made to get the judge to distant
place by ruse. There he is to be MUIR
delel. Jill learns of the plan, and 81 e
is determined to get there in time to

warn him. There are no passenger
trains that night, and she is almost in
despair when she hears the whistle and
roar of an approaching freight train.
She runs up the high bank, and as the
train rushes by she leaps upon the last
car. The fourth act is the exterior of
the big office building of Morley, Hol-
land e Co. Dan meets the judge and is
about to kill him, when the detectives
come on run. Dan escapes, as Henry
Holland, who is concealed in an adjoin-
ing room, rushes up stairs and jumps
out of an upper window. He catches at
an electric wire as he comes down, and
clings to it. It is olive" wire and he
is electrocuted before the eyes of the au-
dience.
1t is a melo-drama in five acts, and
every act teens with sensation, heart in
terest and rollicking fun. No one wants
to sit all night with his nerves strained
to concert pitch, without some comedy
as relief. The author of "The Tide Of
Life" recognized this, and he has intro
duced three or four characters who
make you laugh whether you want to
or not.
A car load of special scenery and eff
fects is carried by the company and
elaborate stage settings are made of the
following: The great dock scene, East
river; burning Of the Hotel de Bum;
Jill's wonderful leap on the flying train;
the electrocution of Holland, the great
est effect ever attempted on any stage;
the beautiful home of Judge Morley on
the Hudson river. There will be more
sensational scenes and better effects
than ever seen here before.

Mad Dog at Hartford.

A dispatch from Hartford, Washington
county, says:
A mad dog which has bitten half a
dozen people and at least fifty dogs and
is still at large and has caused a reign
of terror in the city.
Searching parties have been organized
and are securing the town in search of
the animal, while the persons who have
the temerity to venture upon the street
are all armed. 1t is thought that most
of the dogs in the city have been bitten
and any number have been shot as a
measure of precautiOn.
The dog that has caused so much COM
motion is a small animal that wandered
into the town about noon today. In the
course of the afternoon he bit a number
of dogs before be attracted attention.
Toward evening, however, he ran
through the main street of the city
frOthing at the mouth and giving other
indications of the rabies.
His first victim was Ransom AmidOn,
a boy 13 years old, the son of leading
jeweler. The dog attacked the boy on
the street, and bit and .lacerated his leg
severely. The dog also bit four other
children, among them two little girls of
the Joss family, who were playing in
the front yard at their home when the
animal leaped the fence and before they
could escape bit them both severely.
Anton Oestrischer, man nearly sixty
years of age, was also bitten.
What became Of the animal is a mys-
terry, as half hundred men are search
ing for him, but without success.
1t is presumed that the persons bitten
will be sent to the Pasteur institute in
Chicago.

..Dick" Roberts, we'll known
freight conductor on the Milwaukee
road, suicided Thursday night at his
home in this CITY. Failing to rise at
his usual hour yesterday morning,
Lewis Williams was called to the house,
and finding the door of his room fas-
tened, broke in to find Mr.. Roberts
lying dead in bed. DR.. Bellack was
called, but to no purpose. From
indications it is supposed he used
carbolic acid, and cloth saturated
with chloroform was found over his
face.
Mr.. Roberts was aged about so. He
leaves a wife, three daughters and a
son. He made his last run on Monday,
and on returning here from Milwaukee
telegraphed in that he was not we'll
and could not take his next run. 1t
had been noticed that he was not as
usual. He is said to have remarked
to his family on going home that he
was through with railroading, but the
import of his words was not under
stood.
Justice Grisim has summoned a
coroner's jury, and an inquest is in
progress as we go to press.-Columbus

Percentage Of Illiteracy

The table furnished by the census
bureau, showing the number of chill
dren in the United States between the
ages of ten and fourteen who are un-
able to read and write, shows the eff
fectiveness of the public school system
during the past decade. In every
state but two. Nevada and Arizona,
the percentage shows a marked de-
crease, while in those states the In
dian and the Monaghan children bring
the average down somewhat.
The census of 1890 showed that
98.3 per cent of the children in Wis
consin between the ages of ten and
fourteen could read and write, while
the census of 1900 shows a percentage
of 1927. Other states, however, have
made larger gains than this one and
while Wisconsin was ninth in the list
ter years ago she occupies thirtee nth
place in 1900. Iowa. which headed
the list for the smallest percentage Of
illiteracy in 1890, with 1928 per cent
that could read and write, drops into
second place. although her percentage
has increased to 99.63. Nebraska has
the post of honor now, advancing from
seventh place in 1890, with a percent
age of SO. 35- to first in 1900 with a
per centage of 1896 or just .O3 more
than Iowa.
Louisiana, although the lowest in
the list, shows a gain of nearly ten
per cent ranging from 1926 in 1890 to
67.12 in 1900. It is noteworthy that
all of the southern states show large
gains, and it is quite likely that still
more creditable showing will be made
in 1910. The post of honor, however,
will still be a matter for keen cOmpe-
tition with seventeen states already
having q percentage of SO. or more

The Racine Journal of Sept. 10
says: The cabbage industry in the
vicinity of Racine is one that surprises
people from the adjoining parts of the
state. Hundreds of acres were plant
ed to the vegetable this year, and the
abundant rains caused a strong and
healthy growth.
Upon inquiry it has been ascertained
that the shipments from the city the
past three weeks has been 10 cars,
an average of nearly ten cars per day.
The shipments from now on will be
heavier.
But these shipments do not repre-
sent the entire crop harvested. for the
Guenther company are using three
cars of cabbage daily They are pay
ing Sc per ton to farmers who are now
busy in harvesting their crop. The
Guenther company will use over 1,OOO
tons in their business this fall.
