brought in verdict Of guilty.
The circumstances surrounding the
murder of Elizabeth Gillespie and the
social prominence in Indiana Of all
the actors in the tragedy, attracted
widespread attention to the case. The
Gillespie family was one Of the oldest
and proudest in Indiana. James Gill
lespe and his sister, Elizabeth, were
twins. They were inseparable as chill
dren and young people. The girl be-
came engaged at the age of 90 but on
her brothers account broke the en-
gagement. Though no word Of trouble
leaked out this beautiful society wo-
man from that time grew in appear
ance from a young girl to an aged
woman, her hair turning almost snowy
white within year. She never mar
rled nor did her brother. James.
Elizabeth devoted herself to the care
of her widowed mother and threw her
self heart and soul into plans which
afforded pleasure to others. She was
a leader in the social world and in
church work. Then came trouble be-
tween her and her brother, and fam
lily feud was brought on which culmi-
mated in murder. James Gillespie left
his mothers house and went to live
with his other sister, Mrs. Belle Sew
ard, across the street. DR.. William
Gillespie lfd married a niece of DR..
Thad Reamy, noted Cincinnati ply
stefan, and had moved to that city.
His wife's sister married Myron Bar

the street from the Gillespie home

LANCASTER, PENN, Oct. "a, 1905.
The past week was quiet one in local
leaf tobacco circles, and the aggregate of
sales was small, though there were
number of dealers here making inquiries
for old goods, anything, only so it was
old goods. Recently good deal of the
1904 goods stored in our warehouses has
been shipped away by those who held it,
original packages and purchases from To-
cal packers There is little enough of
even the 1904 crop left in the hands Of
local packers. Of the sales reported.
there was one of "a cases of particularly
fine 1904 goods sold by Samuel Siessel
to Philip J. Kaulb of Philadelphia.
The heaviest transaction in leaf to-
bacco that has taken place within the
past two years in the Ninth Internal
Revenue District was recently consum-
mated at McSherrystown, S. L. Johns
selling 100000 worth of old tobacco to
Julius Marguesee of New York.
Not so many sales of the 1905 crop
were reported last week, though the
dealers are doing considerable riding,
with the hope of picking up crop here
and there. Some few crops are reported
to have been taken at 1880. At least
80 per cent of the new crop has been
sold.
The cigar trade continues good in spite
of the cry of scarcity of old tobacco.
Very few cheap cigars are being made
in our county now, because the demand
is for good cigars. York county, how
ever, is flooded with cheap goods, which
cannot be sold.
We would suggest that farmers should
not begin to strip their tobacco just now
as we understand some are already do
ing. 1t is entirely too early, and harm is
sure to result Husk your corn and
haul in the stover and pick the apples

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET,

The local tobacco markets are exper-
fencing the most stirring times ever
known to the trade. The market has
been overrun by out of town BUYERS and
the competition to secure both old and
new leaf has developed into veritable
"horse race. Trades aggregating thous-
ands have been made with almost light
ming rapidity. Prices in measure have
been brushed aside in the scramble to
buy, and the local dealers are surely
taking harvest. The lifting of the new
crop is still going on in the country and
prices are we'll maintained for the better
grades. Sales coming to notice are:

A vast amount of old stock has chang
ed hands during the week in the general
scramble to clean up the local holdings.
The 0. G. Lee packing of 'O4 of nearly
lOOOcs has been soldto F. s. Baines. The
Halverson & Bitter packing of 45Ocs to
Child. S. L. Johns is credited with buy
ing more than 1000cs of cured leaf from

and 10Ocs '04 of Campbell & Sayre. w.

of old stock for the week. The McCar-

WALTER WELLMAN lmparts a startling
prophecy through the Record Herald to
the effect that Theodore Roosevelt will
be nominated for president by the demo-
cratic party in 1908, endorsed by the re-
publican party and we'll nigh unani-
mously elected. This truly inside infor-
nation is predicted upon the result of
the presidents most remarkable con-
quest of the South and the reversal of
sentiment that is likely to follow the
conquest of Dixie. This tour of the
South, now just completed, has present
ed one of the most remarkable episodes
known to the political history of our
country. 1t is conceded to be such by
all observers. Before he went South the
people of that section were mildly criti-
cal of Mr.. Roosevelt. They were mimi
cal to him, moderately, botn as man
and as president. He had done and
said things they did not like He had
rubbed the fur the wrong way" But
he goes down into their midst and con-
quers them. He captivitates their i'm
aginations There is something about
Theodore ROOSEVELT is not easy to say
what it is-which appeals to the hearts
of people. He is fascinating. There is
a glamour about him. Probably it is
the fascination of a great earnestnes5
which excludes all suspicion of acting.
Mckinley made people like him But
he was smooth and oily and diplomatic.
Even the men who gave their affections
to him sometimes stopped to inquire how
much of that which pleased them was
siecere and how much was good acting.
His intimates knew that Mckinley was
a great natural actor If he had not
taken to public life he could have won
fame and fortune on the stage. But
Roosevelt is no actor. If he is, he is
such good one that no one ever discov-
ers it.

Extraordinary dullness in the leaf
market is prevailing here longer than
the dealers care to have it. The outlook
for an early and brisk business for this
coming winter has vanished like magic.
The search for 1904 leaf is being aban-
doned by everyone in this locality, while
the hunt for older leaf is giving no bet
ter encouragements.
There was a little trade here during
the past two weeks which amounted to
the following: S. B. Heddles shipped l
car for export: Geo. Ell. Rumrill sells in
the past two weeks 49Ocs of 1923 leaf;
S: Soverhill 5O0cs, and Jos. Grundy buys
74cs of 1904.
The visitor here from other markets
was M. Fringent of New York, who made
diligent search here for 1904 leaf.

NEW YORK. Oct. %, 1905.
The condition of the leaf market is
simply unprecedented both as regards
the volume of business done and the
prices demanded and realized. In both
respects, however, it is but a reflection
of the unprecedented prosperity of our
cigar industry. Every report from the
little army of our correspondents in the
trade centers of the country is replete
with the same story of large orders and
a wonderful trade. Jobbers and retail
ers all over the country seem to be
driven to distraction almost by an ever
increasing business and the craftsmanship
of cigarmaker seems to be at pre-
MUM. Factories under these circum-
stances are absorbing their raw material
faster than they anticipated and are
consequently pounding the leaf market
to replenish their ever-vanishing supply.
The large transactions consummated
this week in an outside market need
therefore not cause any surprise nor the
stunning figures at which they were
closed True, all those transactions
chiefly concern the domestic leaf But
the imported leaf is bound to encounter
in time similar condition In Havana
leaf it is nearly approached and the Dol
lar Remedies are not altogether a dream
now. Old Remedies have advanced to
65 cents for first Capaduras and when
the new becomes marketable a further
advance of five cents is likely to become
the record. AS for Factory Vegas the
fourishing condition of our clear Ha-
vana cigar industry and the increasing
favor with which its output is being re-
ceived now in every part of the country,
the demand is certainly exceeding the
normal supply with the result that the
prices are going up CORES pondingly. It's
only in Sumatra that the demand does
not fully harmonize with the general
conditions in the trade. While Sumatra
is selling and getting its share of the de-
mand, the kick against the higher price
and lesser yield continues and causes an
unsatisfactory relationship between the
seller and buyer which the importer will
have to mend Journal
