NEW YORK, Aug. so, 1905.

A sound, steady business, devoid of
spectacular sales, has been the record of
the week. Beyond the deals consum-
mated there has been an unusually large
amount of inquiries from all quarters.
Pennsylvania Broad leaf is still the chief
figure in the domestic market, and is
selling WELL
In Connecticut goods the market, such
as it is, is firm and high. Many pur-
chasers are holding off, but that their
inaction will be of any benefit may be
questioned. The hail storms, which did
100000 damage in the Zimmer Spanish
districts the week before last, turned
their attention last week to the Connect
d;cit 1 liver Valley where they inflicted
injuries estimated all the way from
10000 to S120000
Reports from other districts of the,
Connecticut Valley are of the most en-
couraging character and promise a red
letter crop.
Sumatra. market is somewhat
quiet in respect to this type, buyers, as
class, either holding back or purchasing
in small quantities to suit current needs.

A number of growers have been cut
ting, and the next few days will see
considerable portion of the new crop
harvested. Experienced tobacco men
recommend that care should be used in
cutting too early, the crops that were set
out late. The natural tendency to har-
vest in order to avoid the danger of dam
age by wind or frost is strong, and occa-
sionally the desire to get the crop into
the sheds causes few growers to COM
mence cutting before the tobacco is ripe,
the value of the crop being considerable
less than would be attained if harvest
ing was deferred until the tobacco prop
erly matured.
The crop of Onondaga tobacco is look
ing unusually WE'LL and promises to be
larger than it has been in years. The
weather during the entire summer has
been very favorable and no hail storms
of any consequence have occurred For
two years. 1902 and 1908 on account of
the wet weather, tobacco crops were
failure and the yield was cut from 250C0
to $4,000 cases. On this account many
farmers plowed up their fields for anoth-
er crop. The prices of last year, how
ever, encouraged the growers, with the
result that the acreage was increased
this year.-Gazette.

Sun PRAIRIE, Wis, Sept. l, 1905.

For the past two weeks the tobacco
growers of this section have nearly all
been visited by buyers looking to the
purchase of the new crop, with the re-
suit that the buyers hold contracts for a
large percentage of the crops, which in
cludes the cream of this years produc-
ton. Prices range from to IL cents.

THERE are several other people in
La Junta who have been receiving
blanks from the census department
at Washington requesting informa-

questions that no mortal here below
could answer. The county clerk re-
ceived a blank from Washington one
day this week making inquiry con-
cerning the roads of Otero county
number Of miles. bonded indebted
ness. etc. According to the records
there are about 600 miles of roads in
Otero county and not a cent of bond

penSe Of maintaining the roads IN
Otero county Is nearly equal to the

He says some clubs are good things

which are doing mop harm than

STRONGER THAN MEAT.
A Judges Opinion of Grape-Nuts.

A gentleman who has acquired q
judicial turn Of mind from expert
ence on the bench out in the Sunfiower
State, writes a carefully considered
opinion as to the value of Grape Nuts
as food. He says:
For the past 5 years Grape Nuts
has been a prominent feature in our
bill of fare.
THE crisp food with the delicious,
nutty flavor has become an indispensa-
Bile necessity in my family's everyday
life
1T has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled US to
practically abolishs pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food
"Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect
physical condition-as a preventive Of
disease it is beyond value. I have been
particularly impressed by the bene-
fetal effects of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. It
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
GAS to its nutritive qualities, my ex-
perience lis that one small dish Of
Grape-Nuts is superior to a pound Of
meat for breakfast, which is an i'm
portant consideration for anyone. 1t
satisfies the appetite and strengthens
the power of resisting fatigue, while
fits use involves none Of the disagree
able consequences that sometimes fol-

FEVER'S AFTER EFFECTS
Did Not Disappear Until the Blood
Was Renewed by Dr.. Williams
Pink Pills.

Typhoid fever is sometimes called ner
vous fever. During the course of the
fever the nerves are always profoundly
disturbed, and When it is over they are
left SO sensitive that the patient has to
be guarded against all excitement. In the
tonic treatment then demanded, regard
must be paid not only to building up flesh
but also to strengthening the nerves. A
remedy that will do both, make sound
flesh to repair waste and give new vigor
to feeble nerves, is the most convenient
and economical. Such q remedy is DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
One proof of this is the experience Of
Mr.. Charles Worth, of East Vassalboro,
Maine. He says: I had a severe at
tack of typhoid fever late i'll the fall
which left me very weak and debilitated.
My heart palpitated, my breathing be-
came difficult after the least exertion and
there was numbness in both hands. I
suffered i'll that way for fully six months.
AS did not grow out Of it, did not in
fact see the slightest improvement as
time passed, decided to use DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills as I knew of some cures
they had effected in cases like mine.
almost as soon rs I began taking
them l could see decided Improvement
and after keeping on with them for
several weeks was completely well. I
consider DIR. Williams Pink Pills most
valuable remedy, and am in the habit
of recommending them to others afflicted

HOW TO TELL A STATESMAN
Not Only Man Who Makes Speeches.

PERRY BELMoNT's HORSES ATTRACT KING EDWARD

It is well-known that a good piece of horse
flesh" is a joy forever in the eyes of King Edward
and that turfman is more interested in follow
ing the races than he. 1t will be remembered that
when ne assembled the throne it was feared that
his liking in this direction would not well comport
with the dignity which ought to be found in ruler
OF the British nation. These doubts have been dis
PEELED, by the kings temperance in the matter, but
no one is greatly astonished that this trait of the
kings is still well to the FORE as evidenced most
recently by his request of our famous turfman Per
ry Belmont, of New York, that the latter send some
OF his horses to in England
1t would probably puzzle many of Mr.. Belmont's
friends to say just what is vocation and what is
avocation with him. He is good lawyer he is a
strong politician; he is clever financier; he is
accomplished diplomat; he is well-known club
man and he is famous turfman. In support of the
first two counts it is only necessary to record that
after graduating at Harvard and the Columbia law
school he pursued legal practice and political
activity that took him to congress- where he served
seven years. becoming chairman of the committee
on foreign affairs; fnancier, he is director OF
numerous corporations and diplomat, he was
minister to Spain in 1888; clubman, a chair is
very notable club in New York city,
