Courthouse Notes.
Experts Gilchrist and Val


tine are pushing the examina-
tions of the county offices as
rapidly as possible. The clerks
office was completed about q
week ago. The amount of en-
rors in this Office was found to
be very small for the four years
past.
The recorders office has also
been completed within the past
week. M. Peclenpaugh's err
ros We're found to be about $50.
Van Scoy's $l21.00, all arising
from mistakes very common in
book keeping, there being 70
evidences of evil intent or in
tent to appropriate anything
that belonged to the county.
There We're also some small
mistakes in FL. L. Harvey's
term. These arc all the ex-
perts have found after a very
thorough and careful checking.
A careful checking of Expert
Gilchrist's report on the treas
urer's office reveals the fact
that $4,000 was all that Nc
Kenney was short during his
first term. The knife was
freely used during his last term
in making erasures and chang
ing figures.
The Bond Company's agent,
Mr.. Wagner, has expressed him
self as fully satisfied and says
the amount $2766.25 will be
paid into the county treasury
by May 18th.
Upon the whole, the clerks
and recorders offices make a
very good showing in the ex-
pert's reports and the Institute
fund in the superintendent'so Of
flee is fairly we'll kept account
of.
The examination of the
sheriff's office is not finished
and the auditors office remains
to be examined. The experts
claim that they will be through
by June LIST. Then the condi-
ton Of all the offices will be
known. The work of the
experts has been continued
for nearly a year. 1t has rath-
er more than paid it's way in
the sums recovered. These
sums would have been complet-
| ely lost if the experts had not
dug them up. Besides money
recovered, the improved system
of keeping the accounts and do
ing the work of the various Of
fees that will be adopted here
after, will also pay the taxpay-
ers we'll for the money paid the
experts. In the future all Of

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, Oct. 80, 1903

EDGERTON, WIS.,, OcC. 0U, lSU0.
The buying of the new crop has again
commenced in very small way and in
districts remote from this market. E. Ell
Calladay in the northern district has
sold his 7 acre crop at 81ac in the bun
die, and Ole Lee of Stoughton is reported
to be buying an occasional crop. The
sentiment though seems to be that very
little of it will be bought between now
and January 1st.
The inquiry after cased goods is stead
lily increasing. giving prospect of consid-
erable movement among packers. The
Scofeld & Colony packing of some 500
cases of 1902 is reported sold to Rickert
& LaBoule of Milwaukee. S. B. He'd
dies recently made the sale of CAT cases
at good round figures. A small packing
of 1901, in all 81 cases, put up by James
Mitchell at Albany has been sold to Geo.
Rumrill.
J. J. Schaefer has shipped two car
loads of goods which he has picked up
in small lots in this vicinity.
The shipments out of stsrage reach a
total of 45Ocs for the week to all points
from this station.

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES.

The Vernon county tobacco section,
generally spoken of as including the
counties of Vernon and Crawford, is in
creasing its tobacco acreage very rapidly
as will be shown from the statistics late
ly compiled by the county clerks. Craw-
ford county, which in 1902 grew 619
acres, reports more than 1000 acres this
year. The increase in Vernon alone was
1773 acres, the distribution being shown
by the following table:

NEW YORK, Oct. q, 1903

The 1902 Pennsylvania Broad leaf is
undoubtedly the most popular domestic
tobacco now being handled in the trade.
The two largest packers of this tobacco
are still adding to their holdings, and it
is quite an easy matter for any of the
smaller packers to dispose of their to-
bacco at satisfactory profit.
The new Wisconsin has now made it's
appearance in the market, and trading
has started in auspiciously. Some 1000
cases changed hands during the past
week. Good machine binders, of which
the above was largely composed, bring
from Is to Is cents, according to the rel
ative merits of the packing. The BIS are
not selling yet, as they naturally require
little age to convert them into service
able filters. The seconds, which were
largely unsound, are being sold into ex-
port. The demand for the binder por-
ton is strong, and it will move off read
lily, despite the rather high prices asked
for it..

eventful one in Sumatra circles. October

LANCASTER NEW ERA, Oct. 20, 1908.

In spite of the rapidly decreasing
stocks of cased tobacco still held in this
locality, the sales continue to be larger
from week to week than we have known
them during the same two months of
any former year. The quality of the 1902
tobacco appears to be thoroughly under
stood by the entire trade, and that is
what has led to the quick absorption of
the last years crop by the manufactur-
ers and dealers. The price is moderate
for such tobacco; too cheap, in fact, and
we believe some one will pay the piper
for such part of the crop as may be held
on speculation.
The sales that have been reported to
us are as follows: Captain J. R. Bricker
sold 265cs of 1902 goods to a Baltimore
firm; Meiskey & Holland sold Goes of
1902 goods and bought Goes of the same
crop; M. M. Fry & Co. sold 15Ocs Of 1902
goods; Walter S. Bare sold 90cs of 1902
goods, and has also bought the cigar
manufacturing plant of Capt. Bricker, at
Lititz, and will carry that on in connec-
tion with his leaf trade; E. II. Gish sold
100cs of 1901 goods; |. FL. Weaver sold
309cs of 1902 crop; A. l.. Shriner & Bro.
sold 200cs of 1902 goods, and John d..
Skiles sold 50cs of 1901 goods; in all,
1314cs. For the corresponding week of
last year the sales were 1440cs.
The new crop is reported as doing we'll
in the barns; it is curing down nicely,
and the late harvested shows no damage.
The outlook at present is for an article
that will prove very acceptable to the
trade, just as the 1902 crop has been,

Along in last February or March we
advanced the theory of the New Eng

are just as strenuous in it's adoption, and
for this especial reason, that there may
be more uniformity of prices. We have
noticed by the report of some of the cor
respondents that the prices have varied
in the same location as much as &c ID;
one lot selling for 1Sc, and another in the
same location running to 27c per Id.

port the sales of G. K. Morton, j. S.

warehouse at Stoughton was destroyed

Chicago, which apparently was or

New YORK, Oct. "a, 1908


Wisconsin had it's inning IN our mar
ket this week. Nearly ten thousand
boxes were absorbed by manufacturers.
Evidently manufacturers have learned
the lesson since they baked at supply
ing themselves with the 1900 crop of
Wisconsin. Prices did not come down
on that crop and the subsequent crops
of binder leaf were such as not to fur
nish an adequate substitute. Manufac-
turers in consequence had the hardest
time on record to meet ends in binder
stock for nearly two years. This sad
experience seems to spur them not to
be caught again short in their binder
supply. The old myth, Tobacco can
always be had," is being relegated to the
rubbish tradition by which the leaf mar
ket has for so many years been handi-
capped. With the steady phenomenal
increase in our cigar production and the
inadequate extension Of the tobacco
acreage for an increased supply, even
the most conservative and antiquated
manufacturer must come to recognize
the fact that if he wants to remain in
business and particularly if he wants to
maintain the standard grade of his
goods he has to again hoard supply of
raw material in order to successfully
face the changed conditions of the trade.
Hence the scrimmage for the new Wis
consin at the prevailing market rates
which were quoted in this place last
week to be from Is to Is cents. But for
so-called wrapper grades % cents are
being paid, and at this figure some lots
were sold this week. The Pennsylvania
also continues to be a prime favorite
with buyers in our market. Sales are
steady and of large quantities, and
though packers may claim that their
margin of profit is small the volume of
their transactions is almost extraordi-
nary. In wrapper, leaf Sumatra now
dominates all demands. Weekly sales
now average from four to five hundred
bales. Nor is the Havana market ne
elected; old fashioned factory vegas are
in steady demand. journal.

In NO agricultural crop have the
southern states made such great ad-
vances as in tobacco. Ia some states
the increase has been almost phenom-
email during the past half century or
more, and this, too, in spite of the fact
that tobacco is soil-exhausting crop,
and, owing to the Indifferent methods
pursued over large portion of the
South, requires new ground every few
years to keep the product up to high
water mark. The progress made can
best be shown by the introduction of
few figures, giving the extent of the crop
at different years. Kentucky produced
in 1910, 100000 pounds, and in 19OO
314,000,000; North Carolina, where most
of the ''bright" tobacco is grown, pro.
duced in 1910, 100000 pounds, and in
1900, 127,OO0,000 pounds; Virginia grew
only 100000 pounds in 1840 and 122,-
100000 pounds in 1900.

GOELETS ARE AFTER HIM.
Man Who Used the Family Name to
Win q Bride.

New York, Nov. 7.-convinced that
an imposter used their name to gain the
hand of Miss Eleanor Anderson, a tele-
graph operator in an uptown hotel, the
family of Robert Goelet has employed
detectives to find the man, with in
struotions to leave no stone unturned
to clear up the mystery which a day or
two ago took the form of announce
ment that the young millionaire was
about to wed Miss Anderson. The lat
ter story was quickly denied but the
Anderson family insisted that a man
representing himself as Robert Goelet
had presented to their daughter letters
of introduction and that he also used
cards bearing that name. It has been
learned that the letters, which are stall
in possession of the Andersons, were
forgeries. The lmposter went so far as
to show Miss Anderson her future home
on Fifth avenue and all preparations
had been made for the wedding. when
the story got into the newspapers and
thus reached the man who was sup
posed to be taking the leading part in
the romance. Thus far no trace of the
man't true identity has been secured.

Fuss Over an Old Water Contract
Reaches Court.

Caldwell, Kan, Nov. Mrs. Rhoda
Wykes has sued the city of Caldwell in
district court for $4,000. She complains
of a breach of contract. She alleges
that in 1889 she made contract with
C. H Kimba1l his associates and as
signs by which she granted certain
privileges over land then and now own
ed by her for the Caldwell waterworks-
In return she was to have free water
furnished by the owners of the water
works at her farm residence for domes-
tic and lawn purposes.
About three years ago the city of
Caldwell became the owner of the wa
terworxs. Since then the city has re-
fused to supply Mrs. Wykes with wa
ter. Her complaints have not been
needed and her bills for damages have
been treated with scorn. So she sues
for $500 damages up to date and for
81 500 further damages during the re-
naming ten years of the contract. as
the CITY continues to use the easement
she originally granted. Judge James
Lawrence is her attorney
