Tobacco Notes

L. We'll and son Dick of New York are
again in the state for brief season.
VIM. Spitzner of New York, is here
consulting with II. W. Child over the
leaf situation.
e. G. Tallard called upon the leaf trade
of Detroit this week in the interest of
his New York firm.
Mr.. L. A. Rich of Lancaster Penn,
passed few days of the week in this
market in search of old stock.
Mr.. Max Fringant, one of the old
school tobacco merchants of New York,
is in the state taking survey of the
market situation.
Frank Mcintosh, of the firm of w. T.
Pomeroy & Co., is making tour of the
eastern leaf markets and making the &C.
quaintance Of the trade.
Jos. Benesch of Denver, Theo. Sterne-
man of Milwaukee and A. Wallach of
Chicago, are among the out of town leaf
men visiting this market during the
week.
Mr.. Max Bamberger, the nestor Of the
tobacco trade of Philadelphia, passed a
few days of the week with T. B. Earle,
the local representative of the firm in
Wisconsin.
The Fort Atkinson Union says parties
from Edgerton were here Tuesday, and
rented the old warehouse near the depot.
They expect to commence sorting tobac-
co in the building shortly.
A dispatch from Wausau says tobacco
growing can be successfully done in
northern Wisconsin. Sanford Soverhill
and James Scott, both old tobacco men
of the GAINESVILLE district, have demon
strated that tobacco can be grown, in
Marathon county to advantage, and that
its flavor and texture equals that of the
finest Orfordville grown stock. They
offer to put up warehouse if enough
ground is planted.
Mr. F. f. Adams, who has been iden-
titled with the Adams Tobacco Company
of Milwaukee for over so years, has re-
tired from the presidency of the compa-
ny. Six years ago the company passed
into the hands of the American Tobacco
Co.. but it retained it's individuality and
it's name. Recently the B. Liedersdorf
Co. was bought out and consolidated
with it. 1t manufactures it's own brands
of tobacco and supplies an extensive
trade. Mr. Adams, the retiring president,
is "a years old.
E. G. Borden, who has charge of the
tobacco stripping plant in this city, has
secured an option on the old Winchester
& Partridge paint shop located just south
of the tracks. This move was made af-
ter failing to make satisfactory arrange
ments with G. w. Trait regarding heat
and an elevator in their prasent quar-
ters. The option was obtained last
Thursday, calls for $1,000, and expires in
twenty days. In case this offer is not
accepted it is probable that the tobacco
industry in Whitewater will be moved to
Watertown where a we'll heated and
lighted building has been offered to Mr..
Borden free of rent for year.-White-

Two Men -. :
Painfully
Injured

Art Thompson and A. Stewart
had a very close call for their
lives this morning about 9 o'clock
by a boiler exploding. The men
were employed by j. T. Jones on
the land of H. w. Mccoy, two
miles north of the city, when the
accident occurred. Both men
were severely bruised about their
bodies and scalded about the face,
but will recover.
Mr.. Thompson was the most Sc
riously injured, having had his
eyes badly scalded. The attend
ing physician, DR.. Victor Dye,
stated, however, that he did not
think the mans eye-sight was
damaged. The cause Of the acct
dent is not yet definitely known.
The explosion was distinctly
heard in this city.

Special to The Oil Review.
Lexington, KY, Jan. 13.-Jas.
w. Bess, twice convicted for the
murder of Mrs. Martha Martin,
was hanged in the jail yard here
at 8 o'clock this morning. He
addressed large crowd from the
scaffold, expressing hope to meet
them all in Heaven. He knelt in
prayer three minutes and then
with a smile upon his face babe
goodbye to the people. Bess con-
fessed to the death watch shortly
after midnight that he had plan
ned to take his own life, and car
ried a small knife blade in his
mouth for that purpose. He took
the blade from his mouth and
handed it to the guard, saying
he wished to die like a man. Bess
was once a prosperous contractor
here. The victim was the widow
of a deceased neighbor. Business
consultations between them led to
scandal. Bess abandoned his
home. On the night of the crime
he took Mrs. Martin out driving
and then to his room, where he
strangled her to death.

The reason that coughs and
colds produce constipation and
weaken the lungs is because they

colds from the system by gently

no right to regulate freight rates.

stop highway robberies. The
President is right in this matter,

The price of oil is being cut to
freeze out the producers in Kan
sas and the Indian Territory, so
the Standard can buy the produc-
ton at a low price. In our judg-
ment, this accounts for the de-
cline in the price of oil. AS soon
as the Standard can gobble up
the production oil will advance.
