NEW YORK, Oct. 10, 1903.
The appearance of the new Wisconsin
is the latest factor to tone up the leaf
market. 1t is, however, reported from
Wisconsin that in sampling the crop
from Is to 20 per cent was found to be
more or less damaged. If this news
should be confirmed the situation in re-
gard to binder leaf will become an en-
barrassing one to the manufacturer. For
two years he was trying to bridge over
the scarcity of binder supply with what
only Heaven knows substitutes .e some
kind. All his hopes were center ed on
the 1902 Wisconsin, and it promised to
be one of the most desirable binder
stocks in regard to both quality and
texture. And so it has turned out to be,
too; and is fine thin leaf of an enor-
nous yield and good burn; but there is
the damage. The damage. however, only
means that the paclsings will have to be
cleaned, and when cleaned that supply
will be shorter by from Is to 20 per cent.
than expected, and will likewise have to
appreciate in value to the same amount.
In other words, the expected plentiful
supply of binder stock will again fall
short of actual needs, and instead of de-
creasing will increase perceptibly in
price. The bargain hunter will conse-
quently be left again. For the sound
leaf that will be marketed in Wisconsin
is of such superior growth that it is
bound to bring it's advanced price. OF
desirable New England leaf hardly any
thing is left. and the boom in Pennsyl-
vania is continuing with a steady in
crease in price. The Sumatra market
remains in progressive condition. The
Sumatra Inscriptions having closed yes
terday for the season, the entire atten-
tion of the trade will now center itself on
the stock on hand, which is as service
able and as cheap as can possibly be ex-
pected. The considerable falling off at
the Fall inscriptions of purchases of
marks suitable for the American market
is sufficient proof that the best marks
were absorbed at the earlier inscriptions,
and although our consumption of Su-
matra has largely increased during the
past two years, the imports have not
kept pace with it. The Havana market
remains unchanged. journal

Frequent reports are sent out that the
farmers of Virginia and North Carolina
are greatly discouraged at the continu-
ance of the low prices of this years crop,
and many predictions are made that next
year cotton will be, planted instead of to-
bacco. In some quarters it is claimed
that one of the chief reasons why leaf
tobacco is so low is that the American
Tobacco company, which now controls
the price of the weed, is overstocked,
and does not want the selling season to
open until it has worked up as much of
last years crop as possible. Certain it
is that the prices paid now are are from
100 to 125 per cent lower than year
ago, which hardly pays the cost of pro-
duction. IF the condition in the south
ern field is really attributable to manip-
ulations of the trust, what will there be
in store for the cigar leaf growers when
the same trust becomes equally strong
in these markets? 1t has only to get
control of the cigar productions of the
country to accomplish the same result.

GIVES HER ONLY S.
IN TEN LONG YEARS
Mrs. Anna BodIey Tells Why
She Wants a Divorce From
George BodIey.


Because her husband called her
devil" and threw an empty milk can
at her, Mrs. Anna Bodley wants adj
vorce from George Bodley. a St. Paui
dairyman, to whom-she was married IN
st. Paul eleven years ago.
Mrs. Bodley commenced her aclloli
for divorce in the district court yes
terday, and in the complaint filed. by
her alleges that for many years her
husband has treated her in a cruel ana
inhuman manner.
One time, she says, three OF their
cows died from what appeared 10. De
poisoning, and this so exasperated her
husband that he told her she should
be treated in the same manner. II
was very common thing for her nus
band to attack her and drive her from
her home. Upon these occasions she
sought refuge at the homes OF her
neighbors. Her daughter by former
husband was driven from the house,
although she was in the habit of con-
tributing to the support of the house,
hold, something the husband is charg-
ed with neglecting to do.
"Only once during the past ten
years." says Mrs. Bodley, did he give
me any money; that was one Christ
mas, when he made me a present OF IS:
Mrs Bodley asks for divorce and
the restoration of her maiden name.
She also alleges that it is her belief
that if the court does not restrain her
husband he will do her bodily harm.

Water supply and disposition OF
wage-sanitary questions OF the
keenest and most far-reaching charac-
ter-will occupy the consideration OF
the state board of health at it's next
meeting to be held Tuesday of next
week To the end that all possible
light may be thrown upon these I'M
portant subjects experts on sanitation
and sanitary engineering have been IN
vited from a number of cities. even
outside the state. to meet with the
board at this time. 1t is confidently
expected that the conference will be the
most important ever held by the state
board of health.
A careful study will be made of Wa
ter from the different streams. water
systems and other sources OF supply
throughout the state. from data fur.
nished by the United States geological
survey. and from the laboratory rec
ords of the state university THESE In
vestigations will be made with special
reference to the fitness OF the water
for drinking purposes.
The question of disposition of sew
age will be considered with particular
bearing upon the conditions now ex-
listing in the smaller cities and villages
throughout the state and the needs OF
those places. At present a great num-
Der of the smaller. places in the state
are draining their sewage into streams
upon which are, located other villages
at points further down the streams,
and the subject as a whole presents TO
the board of health "a problem winch Is
constantly becoming more serious as
the state grows in population.
DR.. M. o. Leighton, of the United
States geological survey, with head
quarters at Chicago. will be present to
furnish such information and sugges-
lions as he can on the subject of water
supply Others who have been invited

MAY TAX REPORT
IS STILL OVERDUE
County Treasurer's ForceWork-
ing Hard to Clear Up the
Flood of Tax Payments.

County Treasurer Metzdorf yesterday
turned over to City Treasurer Bremen
100000, which is a partial settlement
with the city on account of the May
collections of taxes.
During the last two weeks in May
taxes were paid so fast that clerks are
still busy getting the figures in some
kind of shape so that the regular
monthly report can be issued, but the
rush of taxpayers anxious to escape
the penalty was so great during the
last few days that it will be some days
yet before a report can be made. Elk
ira clerks have been working on the tax
collections ever since the rush closed
at the end of May.
The monthly report is usually is
sued from the county treasurer'ss office
on the last day of the month, but the
report for May is now overdue more
than five weeks. and it will In all prob
ability be another week before the eX-
act figures can be given out.
When the report is finally made it
will show unprecedented tax collec-
tons.
More than $1,OOo.0O0 was paid in
on the last day of May said Treasurer
Metzdorf in explaining the delay IN the
monthly report for May. 1T was some
thing new in the Office. and we were
not prepared to handle the business
The collections for the month of May
will this year exceed by more than
half a million dollars the record OF
any previous year." q

LOCkJAW FOLLOWS
TOY PISTOL WOUND
William. Fullerton May Die as
Result of Fourth of July
Accident.

A. fatality may be added to the long
list of accidents caused by the celebra-
ton of the Fourth of July in st. Paul. AS
a result of a small wad of blank cart
ride in the palm of his left hand, William
Fullerton, ten-year-old son of Wllilam
p. Fullerton, 444 Dayton avenue, is at the
city hospital suffering from lockjaw,
which threatens to cause the death of the
lad.
Young william was celebrating the
Fourth with toy pistol and blank cart
ridges and in firing off the pistol wad
accidentally struck the palm of his left
hand. Little attention was paid to the
wound, for it appeared slight and caused
the boy but little pain. He continued TO
celebrate during the day after the hand
had been treated. During the past few
days nothing was thought of the wound.
But the deadly tetanus developed and
seized the boys nervous system. Yester-
day morning the first symptoms were no.
ticed While playing about his home the
boy complained of stiff neck and pain
In his back About noon the tetanus
frightened its grip. Willie. with his elder
brother was at home with his aunt, his
father, who Is conductor on the Great
Northern being out on the road, and MS
mother being at st. Luke's in critical
condition suffering from an abscess.
advised the removal of the boy to the
city hospital. The boy remained in a
critical condition during the evening and
night. having frequent commissions. IL
was reported this morning that ne mas

Wind, LIGHTNING
And rain ARE MOST
SEVERE OF SEASON
Storm Yesterday Morning Was
Furious, But Short Lived
Considerable Damage Done
in Various Parts of the City.

The fierce storm that swept over the
city early yesterday morning was the
most violent that visited st. Paul this
year, though it lasted only fifteen min
utes. During the brief time 1T raged
the wind blew at velocity of forty
eight miles an hour and the rain 1ell
at rate of two and a half inches an
hour. The exact quantity Of the down
pour, as registered by the official in
strument, was SO.
The lightning and the wind combin-
ed to cause considerable damage in
and about the city. The storm, as 1t
approached had a threatening aspect,
and those who saw the green and pur-
pie clouds gathering on the northern
horizon and gradually spreading so as
to envelop the entire sky expected a
violent display of the power OF the
elements and were surprised and re-
lieved to see it pass off so soon.
Two churches were struck by light
ming. The spire of st. Marks Catholic
church, Dayton and Moore avenues,
was badly damaged by bolt which
tore the cross from the steeple and
crashed down through the tower.
The spire of ST. Johns Lutheran
church. Margaret and Hope streets,
was struck by lightning and the cross
upon the top was bent double. The
cross, which is of galvanized iron. lax
feet, was erected year ago to re-
place one that was destroyed by light
ming.
Lightning struck barn owned by
Anton Vogel, 918 Aurora avenue, kill
ing horse which was confined there
in. On account of the storm it was
impossible to turn in an alarm at once
and consequently when the fire de-
partment arrived the barn was com
pletely destroyed. The loss is estimat-
ed at $500.
The strong wind did great damage to
trees, pulling many up by the roots
and breaking the branches of others.
Most of the damage of this kind was
done in the northern part of the city,
which caught the brunt of the storm.
Over 200 feet of wooden sidewalk
on Mississippi street, near Granite
street, was torn up and thrown into the
street.
The wind tore a big plate glass from
it's frame in the store of the Wiscon-
sin dairy, st. Peter and Exchange
streets The wind entered through an
open door and SO great was its force
that it tore out the plate from the
| inside.
The storm swept with fury over the
farms north of the city and many out
building and fences were blown down.
On the Saltwater road the storm left
track of strewn timber and broken
limbs of trees. The same evidence of
| the winds fury were seen out on the
| White Bear and Rice street roads.
In Minneapolis considerable damage
was wrought by the wind. A peculiar
accident happened at the Electric steel
elevator at Twenty-fifth avenue
southeast, where two large unfinished
circular tanks were blown in.
Other damage of various kinds WIS
reported from all points that were in
the path of the storm.

SERIOUS FOR HOLT
1t Furnishes Charges on Which
He Will Have Hearing

the testimony against Mr. Holt will be
in the nature of review of testimony
furnished in the district court at Mime
apoIis in the trial of Sheriff Phil Megaar-
den.
The board, it is understood, will be
furnished with a transcript of testimony
of that trial relating to numerous al
legged overcharges made by Mr.. Holt
against the county of Hennepin for trans
portation of children to state institu9
tions This testimony includes the state
ment of George w. Mcmillan ticket agent
of the Chicago, Milwaukee g. st. Paul
railway, as to railway fares to Owa-
tonna, Red Wing and Faribault where
the different institutions for children are
located, and recites specific cases in which
overcharges are said to have been made.
The cases cited are those of Maria
King, in which it is said that Mr. Holt
made a charge of So % for taking her to
Faribault, when the actual expense was
but S4.71; Alvin Peterson, in which, a
charge of 81 10 was allowed for sending
him to Faribault, when the actual ex-
penditure was only So 81; the three Ire
panier children, for whose transportation
to Owatonna the county paid $11.34, when
the actual expense is shown to have been
but So 0S, and the two Plank children,
said to have gone to Owatonna at a cost
to the county of 1881, when only .O4
was actually spent in taking tnem.

SHALL SOLONS GET
II ROLL TOP DESKS
The Question Agitating Capitol
Commission-Memorial
Tablets Planned.

At the meeting of the state capitol
commission yesterday a considerable
amount of time was devoted to considera-
ton of the question of whether roll-top
or fiat desks shall be furnished for the
legislative chambers in the new building.
Many of the members of the senate and
house have expressed a preference for
roll-top desks and some have vigorously
urged that preference, but there is some
doubt as to whether that form of desk
will be most desirable for the purpose.
In his plans the architect Cass Gilbert,
has provided for 124 members of the
house, with room for 100, allowing for
desks, two feet and II inches wide which
is eight. inches wider than those in the
capitol at Washington. This space al
lowance would permit of roll-top desks,
but the greater number of the capital
commissioners are of the opinion that it
would be better to have fat desks. Mr..
cations for both kinds and the matter
will be finally decided later
Architect Gilbert submitted his regular
report, which showed that the work on
the building is progressing satisfactorily
.inf most respects and that steps have been
taken. to hurry those contractors VINO
have been slow
The society of Colonial Danes and the
Grand Army of the Republic have ex-
pressed the wish to erect memorial tap
lets in the new building and the commls-
sion has decided that patriotic or his,
torical organiZa tons may be permitted
to erect such tablets, but nothing of the
sort will be received from secret or re-
ligious societies.
To the end that uniformity shall be
observed, Mr. Gilbert will pass upon the
designs for all proposed tablets before
any of them are permitted to be erected.

MANCnURIAN MATTER
is AGAIN PUT OFF
President Decides the Jewish Petition
Must First Be Disposed Of.

WASHINGTON. d. c., July 9.-The
president has decided that the matter of
the Jewish petition must be finally dis
posed of before any further effort is made
here to compromise the issues arising
out of the Manchurian situation. There
fore it is now said that nothing is likely
to be done in reference to Manchuria un-
til next September by which time, ac-
cording to the last Russian announce
ment, the evacuation of Manchuria by
Russian troops save railway guards,
should be completed. 1t is understood that
the Russian government has set up as
one reason for opposing the opening OF
new ports in Manchuria, the necessity OF
allowing her to first complete the evacua-
soning is rather obscure on that point, II
Is understood our government is willing
to wait until September before making
the next move.
Secretary Hay was in further confer
ence today with some of the Jewish
leaders and communicated to them the
presidents desire that they should call at
specting the disposition to be made OF
the Jewish petition to Russia. The sec
rotary emphasized the presidents desire
that there should be no further delay IN
the submission of the petition; that 1t
will be ready next week. 1t is probable
the course to be pursued will consist In
the dispatch of cablegrams to Mr.. Riddle
United States charge at st. Petersburg
directing him to inquire of the Russian
government whether it is willing to re-
ceive a petition the nature of which will
be briefly outlined by Mr.. Riddle and
further proceedings will be governed by
the Russian answer.
