Tobacco Notes

Mcintosh Bros. have arranged to cover
their warehouse with new slate roof.
A. L. Fisher and F. S. Baines James
vile leaf dealers, were callers in this
market Monday.
A farmer near Chaseburg, Vernon Co.,
is first to report the harvest of the new
tobacco crop, having begun cutting Aug.
lst, an unusually early date for this
state.
After a continuous run of eleven
weeks, E. @. Tallard closed his ware
house Wednesday. His packing for the
firm of Meyer & Mendelshon will exceed
5000 cases of the 1908 crop.
H. McIn1is made trip over the Yer
non county district last week and reports
the growing crop good deal of a disap-
pointment in many OF the sections trav-
eled. He saw bit very little good to-
bacco and the fields uneven and late
over much of the territory. The entire
southern section is suffering from the
drouth.

SCORES ANOTHER SUCCESS.
Four Thousand People Attend the Twenty
second Annual Picnic of Father Mathews
Society Best Race Program

Four Thousand People Attend the Twenty
second Annual Picnic of Father Mathews
Society Best Race Program
Ever Given.
The rain of Tuesday evening which
was feared would mar the big picnic,
arranged by the T. A. & B. society, for
the following day, proved only blessing
instead for it allayed the dust, cooled the
atmosphere, while the returns at the
gate show that it lessened the attend
ance but little over that OF year ago.
The lowering clounds of the early morn
ing may have prevented some people
from distance from coming to the pic
mic, conservative estimates place the
crowd upon the grounds during the af-
ternoon at between four and five thous-
and. That they were given an enjoyable
program of entertainment is admitted by
all and the management may rest assur-
ed that they have fully maintained their
reputation for satisfying the public.
The parade of Father Mathews Socie-
~ formed at their hall at 10 a. m. and
headed by the band marched to the
Driving Park. Here an excellent tenn
perance address, was given by Rev. j. j..
Collins of Fond du Lac that was listened
to with attention.
The feature of the forenoons sports
was the game of ball between the Madi-
son Defenders and the Milton Crescents.
For good swift playing it was one of the
/ best games played here in years, the
work of the batteries on both sides be:
! ing an excellent exhibition of skill, and
the teams were strong in every particu.
lar. The score at the finish stood three
| to one in favor of the Crescents.
The ladies of st. Joseph's church
served an excellent dinner upon the
grounds and received an abundant pat
ronage.
The races proved the drawing card Of
the day and among the most interesting
| speed contests ever held upon the
grounds. While the track was heavy
from the rains of the night before, no re
markable speed was shown but the con
tests were close enough to hold interes
in the events to the end. The entries
embraced over 30 horses and gathered
some Of the best steppers in this section
/ of the state. Following ia 8 summary Q

The half mile foot racs for medals was
won by Harold Myers, GAINESVILLE 1st, r.
T. Watson, Hanerville, I'd, and Earl Bliss,
Milton, Sd. time POT. In the 100 yard
dash Gus Mack of Evansville won LIST,
Percy Chum I'd, and Doc Young of Por-
ter Sd.
The absence of all gambling games,
takers and hawkers which usually attend
large gatherings of this kind, and the
wholesome sporos and pastimes for both
old and young, was commendable to the
society and its efforts in this direction
were certainly appreciated.
The day closed with monster dance
given in Academy hall, attended by more
than 200 couple. Smiths full orchestra
furnished his usual high class music and
everyone made the most Of the enjoyable
occasion.
The receipts from the big picnic have
not yet been counted but enough is
known to safely say that handsome
balance will be carried to the treasury
and the society have scored another sue
cess as being first class entertainers.

The discovery of HyOmei has wrought
wonderful change in the treatment Of

Prior to three years ago the medi-
cines ordinarily employed in the cure of
this disease We're nauseaung drugs and
worthless tonics- In some instances
they benefited but the Improvement
was not lasting.
With HyOmei you take into the air

cells, effectually killing all germs and
microbes of catarrh II enters tne

monials have been received from those
who have been cured by Hyomei.
A complete outfit costs but s1.00 and
includes an inhaler. dropper and sufi.-
cient HyOmei for several weeks treat

Perhaps the strongest evidence thai
can be given to d0ubters, is the fact
that r. C. Sehramm has so much faith
in HyOmei that he sells every package
under q positive guarantee to refund
the money il it does not cure.
Now is the time TO begin the use Of

POOR NATIVES
BEING ROBBED
Cause OF the Trouble in German
Southwest Africa.
RAPACITY OF THE MERCHANTS
TRADERS PUT sHYLocK TO
SHAME.

/ Berlin, Jan. 25.-An official dispatch
from windhoek, German Southwest
Africa, says the Germans have lost
heavily in an unsuccessful attempt o
relieve Okahandja, that five settlers
and their entire families have been
murdered ana that the Hereros have
been threatening Windhoek.
Light has been thrown by the
F'raHkfurter Zeitung on some of TIE
contFibutoTy causes of the HeFeFos ris-
ing in German Southwest Africa as the
result OF statements made to that paper
BY a traveller who has just returned
from Windhoek and Okanandja. The
merchants and the traders allied with
them are charged with purposely in
Evolving the natives in debt. Accord
ing to this traveller the traders are
mostly discharged soldiers whom the
merchants equip with wagons and from
sixteen TO twenty oxen and goods val
ued at thousands OF marks. The trad
ers sell at first entirely on credit, not
requiring any cash until they mare
later trips. The imprOvident natives buy
largely and repeatedly on these easy
terms, and the merchants favor the
system by extending and renewing ire
credits Of the traders. sometimes TO L.
collecting portion OF the debt taking
cattle in payment and at the same time
selling more goods on credit. The ma
tives are often Indebted to several trad
ers at the same time.
Natives Have Good Cause.
The Frankfurter lettings informant
adds that he found the merchants took
an average of 20 per cent profit on the
transactions of the traders, and The
latter adds 100 per cent, and usually
makes 20 per cent more on the cattle,
which they take in payment. Tie
traders further aroused the anger of the
natives by Selling the latter's cattle ar
bitrariIy without waiting for legal pro-
cedure. 1t is true that the authorities
forbid this, but the natives usually do
not complain, merely nursing their
grievances and If they do complain the
police have difficulty in discovering the
offending traders.

natives near Hopefar, lost reserve Of

King Alfonso of Spain is giving his
subjects lessons in agriculture. He
wants to show them that by the appli.
cation of modern methods land which
for centuries has been held to be bar.
rem can be made to yield profitable
crops. For this purpose he has
selected 700 hectares OF his poorest
land and has procured machinery of
the latest type. Nearly every day he
drives out to inspect the work. accom-
panied by the minister of the exterior,
Count San Bernardo, who is said to be
more of an agriculturist than a diplo-
matist
