Only a Tobacco sOr,er.

Hump. She's only tobacco sorterI'
Is the manner in which we occasionally
hear some refer to an employe of that
tobacco warehouse. Well, and what If
she is only tobacco sorterT' If she
is true and good she is the equal in the
sight Of God to any other woman IL
she Is only a tobacco sorter" she is
earDine an honest living in one of the
ways che Almighty has provided, and
in perhaps the only way just now open
TO her. To be only tob sorter" is
credit, not q crime -mefits praise
instead of sneers and if every woman
could truthfully cay, when questioned
by st. Peter at the gate, was only
tobacco sorter" there would be de-
cided increase in the female population

Seek Market for Low Grades

There appears to be nothing new to
report locally, in the realm of tobacco
information. Farmers are still pushing
their crops to this city and surrounding
market points as rapidly as it is sorted
and can be bundled. Long strings OF
teams, loaded high and wide the wagons.
are constant reminders cf the tobacco
disappointment of 1908 On the score
OF outsiee information the Edeerton
Reporter says: Dealers confess they
are somewhat puzzled to know what
will eventually become of the very
large amount of the 1903 crop still re-
naming in country hands, a good por-
tion of which is yet in the bundle. If
the dealers could be assured that the
tobacco would come through the sweat
in sound condition, there are plenty of
buyers who stand ready to take all that
portion of the crop that il suitable I'd
the needs of the domestic manufacture
There is q vast amount of cheap stuif in
country hands Of q nondescrint tyne
that is neither suitable for home con.
sumption nor good enough to answer
the demands of the exporters. Where
90 ma an outlet for this class of goods
is the question The shippers might
use limited portion of them and an
other portion might go to the cutters
but it is doubtful IL these demands
would take twenty-five to thirty thous.
and cases of low grades for any i'm.
mediate use. Buying, however, is grad
ually reducing the unsoId portions of
the crop and if the movement continues
a few weeks to come at the same rate
there will not be enough left TO need
cause very much alarm on this score.
The exporters have been liberal buyers
SO far and if orders continue, the situa-
ton will be considerably relieved. The
fact, however, remains that the state
has a much larger share of poor tobacco
than for some years past.
The conditions throughout the TO-
bacco section remain about the same as
for several weeks past. There is a good
deal OF tobacco being moved, the bulk
OF it at very low figures. In some To-
callties the crop is becoming quite well
picked up. Information reaches us that
three quarters of it in the Vernon county
section is sold, a much larger per cent
than in other portions of the state.
Freezing nights have held back the
making of seed beds so there is but
little sowing to this date for another
crop and the season promises to be late
for all crops.

DOUBLE MURDER IN RIcHLAsD.
Henry Morrison Kills His Wife and Daughter and
Attempts the Lives Of Others.

a Richland Center dispatch of yester-
day gives the particulars of horrible
double murder 1T Woodstock, ten miles
north of that city. The murderer is a
brother of Martin Morrison of this city.
Henry Morrison, a carpenter, go years
of age, this afternoon shot and killed
his wife and daughter, Mrs. Deb Clark,
at their home in Woodstock, and tried
unsuccessfullY to kill Mrs. Matthias
Klingman, a neighbor and intimate
friend of the women.
After domestic troubles extending ov-
er a considerable period of time, said to
involve a dispute over some property
interests, Morrison left his family about
fortnight ago and came here to reside
This morning he drove back to his home
and without warning shot his wife, who
fell dead where she stood
His daughter fed from the house, car
rying her two.year-old child. Morrison
rushed after her, and catching her by
the hair, threw her to the ground. Bend
ing over Mrs Clark's prostate form, he
held his revolver close to her temple and
drove bullet into her brain. When
her lifeless body was picked mp by neigh
bors the babe was found tightly clasped
IN her arms unharmed.
TRIES TO SHOOT NEIGHBoR.
Having killed his wife and daughter,
Morrison proceeded to the neighboring
Klingman home, where ne found the
family at dinner. Entering Dnbidden,
he pulled his gun and attempted to shoot
Mrs, Klingman, charging her with being
the insitigator of his family troubles.
Mr.. Klingman grabbed chair and
dealt Morrison blow over the head
which felled him. and as he lay stunned
on the ground Klingman disarmed him.
He was arrested and taken to Richland

BONDS OWNED AT HOME.
United States Securities Are for the
Nfost Part I'm the Possession
OF Our own People.

Probably fewer United States bonds
are owned outside Of the country than
those of any other first-class nation In
the world This is largely accounted
for by the fact that the bonds have
peculiar value to the national banks as a
basis for circulation which raises their
market price to a point where they cease
to be desirable for ordinary investors.
The total of bonds held by foreigners to-
day is $15,055, 750, says the New York
Post. OF this amount individuals own
less than $4,000000; the rest belong to
foreign insurance companies doing busi-
ness in the United States, Before for
eign insurance company can do busi-
ness in the United States 1t must de-
posit with the insurance commissioner
OF the particular state 1t seeks to In
wade a certain amount Of bonds, reg
istered in the name Of the insurance
commissioner for the benefit of the pol
icy holders OF the company in that state.
Thus, II the Phoenix Insurance COM
pany, of London, England, desires to
do business In Ohio It deposits with the
insurance commissioner an amount OF
bonds determined by the value OF bust
ness, inscribed as follows: THE insur-.
ance commissioner Of the state OF Ohio,
In trust for the policy holders of the
Phoenix Insurance company of London,
England, residing in Ohio. OF the In
dividual foreign holdings OF United
States bonds nearly half of them, for
some reason, are In Cuba. Our neigh
bors are doubtless attracted by the se-
curity which the bond offers.
In the earlier stages Of the country's
history large blocks Of Its bonds were
held abroad and branches of the treas
ury department were opened in London
for their transfer and exchange. The
French people to-day are great holders
OF the bonds Of various other nations
but they are handling very few OF the
United States, Quite part OF the loan
made by the last Cleveland administra-
tion went into the hands OF foreign in-
vestors at an early date in its history.
But with the increasing means of the
American people and the growing de-
mand OF the national banks, these se-
curlties have begun TO come back, un-
I'll now the world may be searched al
most in vain for them,

LATEST SOCIETY GAME.
rambourelIo Is Taking the Place of
Lawn Tennis Among the
Swell Clubs.


A new game has invaded the ranks of
society and seems destined to spread
much as ping-pong did few years ago.
II bears the somewhat euphonious name
Of tambourello, deriving the name from
the instrument of the play, which Is
nothing more or less than tambourine.
The game is played exactly like lawn
tennis, the difference being that in
stead Of racket tambourine is used.
But this difference is a big one, as
anybody who has ever played lawn ten
mis- will readily understand That the
game has prospects of becoming pop
ular Is evidenced by the fact that two
clubs have recently made application
TO the London county council for per-
.4lssion to play tambourello in the
parks under the councils control, and
this permission has been readily ac-
corded. says the London Daily Mail
The physical exercise afforded by
tambourello is considerable, and to hit
the ball with such an awkward instru-
ment requires a remarkably strong
wrist. Nothing but practice can develop
this particular type, which will later no
doubt be known as the tambourello
wrist. The tambourine, by the way, if
the player so wishes, can be fitted with
the usual bells, which will lend a mu-
sical accompaniment to the game. The
sounds produced by four players with
bell-fitted tambourines would certainly
be an addition to the game and to the
lady player would probably prove par
ticularly attractive.
While tambourello will probably be-
come very popular amcng the gentler
sex, men will also find In the game
pastime at which 1t is by no means easy
to become an accomplished player
Beginners find 1t very hard to return
ball over the net at all When they
make their first attempts the tambour-
inc lacks driving power-or apparently
lacks it until the secret of its driving
capabilities has been diccovered 1t
takes some practice to make the discov-
cry, but when the trick of driving the
ball has been learned immense impetus
can be given 1t with the tambourine.
The game in the London parks will,
OF course, be played on grass, but an
asphalt court offers better facilities.
Volleying cannot be INDUCED in, and a
slow court, as a grass court often is, es-
pecially after rain, does not permit of
good back game. Lady players will es-
pecially appreciate the advantages of of
playing from the back of the court for
1t is doubtful If ever they could develop
the tambourello wrist sufficiently to en-
able them to volley to any great extent.
AS yet there is no recognized tam
bourello champion, but doubtless next
season will see his or her arrival.
