In the domestic grades quietness pre-
walls generally, although business has
picked up some since the Fourth of July
holidays We hear some houses have ex-
perienced demand for 1900 and 1901
Pennsylvania Broad leaf, 1903 Flats and
Connecticut Broad leaf, there having
been recently sold 800 cases of the form
er at from 13 to 1315 cents. A few very
good sales of thinner Spanish were also
put through. Some manufacturers are
looking up 1902 Wisconsin binders.
Sumatra.-While there are some i'm
porters who say there is slight falling
off in sales as compared with the hand
some business being done before the
holidays, most concerns are still busy
with numerous orders. One concern re-
ports sales amounting to 1Oo bales with
in the last few days, and another about
Is bales.
Havana. Generally speaking the stag
nation continues in Cuban goods, but in
isolated cases we hear of fair inq uiry
growing and increased sales, though
necessarily of small proportions.-Lea

early to examine the 1908 crop, we do not
expect to hear of many sales until
the tobacco is nearly or quite dried Off
from the sweat.
Not much is to be learned Of the con-
dition of the market, unless one will read
between the lines, for the market is re-
ported very quiet. Mention is, made of
manufacturers looking for Wisconsin
of '02 and '03 and inquiry is noticed for
thinner Spanish.
Our correspondents report as follows:
Conway, Mass. THE crop is looking very
nice. 1t has grown fast the last two
weeks. Some of the earliest will be
topped this week. All seems to be even
and looking fine. / hope we may escape
hail storms and be able to harvest the
best crop raised for three years"
Hatfield, Mass. Tobacco cropis grow
ing very fast at this writing. L. G. War
ner has topped part Of his crop, and
heads are out on early crops. No sales.
M. j. Ryan has very nice field which is
about ready to be topped"
East CRANKY: Tobacco fields are look
ing WELL Havana is grown almost ex-
clusively in this district; only one lot OF
broad leaf, about six acres, has been re-
ported"
Poquonock: Some injury from cut
worms and wire-worms has been report

Tobacco Growing in Texas.

About 700 to 1000 acres have been
planted to tobacco this year. The Flor
ida, Havana Il Sumatra Co., William
Tausig, president; and the Texas, Cuba
Co., A. Webb, president, L. III. Shelter,
superintendent, have putin quite exten.
sive plants and are contracting with
Nacogdoches county farmers to take the
1904 crops as soon as stripped at l5 cents
per pound. The Lavaca Company, f.
Simpson, president, VIM. Balkeslee, sec
retary, and G. j. Hudgins, manager, are
putting in extensive crops in Lavaca
county.
The Florida, Havana & Sumatra Co.
has ten acres under shade and about
fifty acres in the open. The Texas Cuba
Tobacco Co. has forty acres under shade
and are setting out and hoping to have
two hundred acres in the open. The
Lavaca Co. has five acres under shade
and thirty-fve acres in the open. And
there will be from five to eight hundred
acres in the open planted by Individual
farmers in East Texas.
Both Havana and Sumatra will be
raised under shade. All the open field
tobacco is from Cuban seed furnished by
the Southern Pacific Railroad, which
sent men to Cuba especially to get pure
seed. Both the wrapper and the filler
are hard to distinguish from the genuine
Havana. There were only 1900 pounds
raised in 1903, nearly all of which was
bought by the Florida, Havana. & Su-
matra Co. This tobacco was raised un-
der government supervision and cured.

Where Dalrying Pays.

Prof c. F. Cronh of Madison has been
spending the gre ater portion of the year
at El Paso, Texas and III telling OF the
various attra ctions of that country men
tions one of interest to the dairy farmers
of this state:
Not the least interesting is the dairy
of j. A. Smith q Co., where two former
students of the Wisconsin Dairy School
are in charge. Three hundred and sew
enty COWS are kept within the city limits
on less than two blocks of land. They
are fed on baled alfalfa, that is grown in
neighboring valleys, where it can be irri-
gated. Besides this, the COWS are fed
bran and cottonseed meal. On account
of the salu briousuess of the climate no
barns are needed, but merely sheds with
rows of stanchioDs The COWS are di-
vided into herds of 80 each, a Mexican
presiding over each herd. The morning
milking is begun at o'clock and at 80
o'clock in the afternoon they begin the
second milking of the day. Each cows
milk is weighed at each milking and it
is recorded, and the man in charge Of
that branch can give each cows milking
record for the year. On falling below
the required standing, the cow becomes
a candidate for the meat market. Milk
is sold at ten cents quart and the daily
receipts from this dairy are over S700

New YORK, July 16, 1904. T
A steady activity continues to prevail
in the market, quite beyond expectation
at this season. True, transactions are
not of any startling amount for immedi-
ate consumption. But it is very
healthy sign that there is an uninter-
rupted business in this off season with
but limited quantity of old stock avail
able. A large part of the new Connecti-
cut broad leaf is already disposed of on
packers samples. The seconds alone
averaging about 80 cents, while the run
ming price of wrappers averages about
fifty. It is the Sumatra, however, which
is the most active commodity. The pre-
vacation inscriptions were closed week
ago and the impression prevails that the
fall inscriptions will hardly offer any
more suitable tobacco for the American
market. In fact, scarcity of fine Su-
matra is making itself felt already.
Particularly scarce are light colors which
are therefore soaring up in price to an
exceptional height.-Journal.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.

Well, don't things grow? think that
l never saw tobacco grow so fast. A sur
prising thing about it is that in many
cases fields where it was set last seem to
be the largest. I have noticed this fact
in two fields on the opposite side of the
or four days, but the latest set is the
larger of the two; but this is not the
rule. Tobacco in this vicinity is looking
very fine for the time it has been set.
I hear of buyers who have begun to
drive around inquiring for 1908 tobacco,
and in time may be able to report the
sale of some crops. There are few crops
scattered around yet, and some of them
are nice ones, too, but as the season is

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

A season of vacation days has about
arrived for the leaf tobacco trade. A
small amount of buying of last seasons
crop is still going on but generally speak
ing the packers have about closed up
the work of handling the crop and the
warehouses have deserted appearance
again. A moderate traffic in low grades
continues but prices do not rise much
above that paid for stemmlng stock. A
few transactions coming to notice are: /
Henry Lewis, ICES at 7&3c.
j. Halverson, IA at 1850.
Peter Matson, lies at 7c.
L. S. Grinde, 8a at 41ac.
E. Eigheny, Ia at 4c.
Nels Orvold, 3a at &c.
G.. E. Pierce, 3a at &c.
j. s. Regstad, IA at &c.
A. johnson, Goes at Gaze.
S. Hart, 45cs at Z, 3&2c.
The movements in old leaf are con-
fined mainly to small lots on manufact-
urers' orders.
The weather of the week has been es-
pecially suitable to phenomenal growth
of the new crop which promises better
at this date than almost any season the
grower can recall. The fields show an
even, healthy growth, and harvest not
so very far away.
The shipments out of storage reach 10
car loads, 500 cases, from this market to
all points for the week past.

Mr.. Olney was attorney general. l
would ask all honest men whether they
seriously deem 1t possible that the
course this administration has taken

with any theory of public behavior

|BEVDRIDGEI'&
How Our Junior Senator Beat Quay
4edm at Political Game.

If genius is, as some aver, a ca
pacity for taking pains, Senator Bev-
ridge, author of tie Russian Advance,
has got it. A congressman recently
told a story at certain club of how
Beveridge, junior senator, once beat
the late Senator Quay at his own
political game. 1t was when the bill
for the admission of Oklahoma, New
Mexico, and Arizona was under con-
sideration. Quay had immense bust
ness interests in New Mexico and Arr
iona, and was not above suspicious
of self-interest. He had planned his
whole campaign with astute care, and
never dreamed Of opposition to the
bill. But it happened that young
Beverage was chairman of the COM
mittee on territories. He held up the
bill on the plea that there hadn't been
time to consider it. Then came a
genuine tug Of war, with Quay and a
majority pulling at one end, and Bev-
eridge at the other. Beveridge knew
his only hope was to fight off vote.
Meanwhile the Senate adjourned for
the summer, and here came in Bever-
idge's capacity for taking pains. He
spent the whole summer visiting the
territories and loading up informa-
ton, and when the Senate met he was
ready for the fight Men shook their
heads and said Beveridge was court
ing political death. But he hung on
like bull dog, and, debating with
the utmost suavity of courtesy, so
amassed his facts as to win the strug-
gle out of hand, and New Mexico and
Arizona are still territories. 1t was
the last big figth Quay ever made.

STRANGE STORY
Of Old Man. Who Served 81 Years
Before Being Declared Innocent.

His innocence having been estab-
lished after he had served twenty-one
years in the Texas penitentiary on a
conviction for murder David Smith
has returned to- his, home here, after
forty years absence. Though gray
and decrepit he walked nearly all the
way from st. Louis to this city.
Smiths story is a romantic and
terrible one. In February; 1865, he
enlisted at Williamsport in Company
F, 46th regiment Pennsylvania Vol
unteers, and after the war went West
and joined the regular army. Dis
charged three years later, he went to
Dallas, Texas, where he became en-
broi1ed in riot which the sheriff
and a large number of deputies were
endeavoring to quell.
One of the deputies was killed, and
Smith was arrested. Upon purely
circumstantial evidence he was con-
victed of murder and given a life
sentence.
Two months ago one Of the gang
who was involved in the riot confess
ed on his death bed that he was the

Poor House.

Gently added one more to the many
informally democratic incidents that
have marked his relations with his
poorer subjects since he came to the
throne. Slipping away from the
crowded Newmarket race track, where
he had been watching his own horses
run, the King drove to a neighboring
poor house. A minute inspection of
the arrangements there was made,
and some pointed criticisms were in
termingled with amusing chats be-
tween the King and his pauper sub
jects.
In the poor house hospital His Ma
jesty noticed a mandolin on a bed
where a stable boy lay dying of can

ton if he could play it, the boy said
he would like to try the national an

and played Good Save the King

til the familiar air was finished.

boy is not chronicled, but this morn

Explanations were at once asked
of Mr.. Sullivan, and he declared in

that Smith was innocent. An inves-
tigation was promptly made, the dy-
ing mans confession was found to
be correct, and the Governor of Texas
pardoned Smith, after he had served
twenty-one years, five months and
twenty days.
When sent to the penitentiary Smith
was in the prime of life, but when
turned out was aged and worn out.
He was given what money was found
on him when arrested, and with this
he journeyed to ST. Louis. There his
money gave out, and Smith started
-, to walk, and in this way made his
way to his old home here.
He came here expecting to find his
brothers and parents, but all the fam
lily has been dead some years. Smith
with no resources to draw upon, went
at once to a pension agency and ap-
piled for pension.
