They have inaugurated way of set
Ting differences that arise among tobac
co men Ia Lancaster, Pa, that might be
practiced elsewhere with good deal of
propriety-t that is by arbitration. The
advantages Of arbitration were illustrat-
ed last week when the Arbitration Com
mittee of the Lancaster Board of Trade
had its first case, says recent dispatch,
in which member of the Board and a
tobacco grower we're the parties con-
cerned. The committee had arbitrated
disputes betweed dealers, but never be-
tween a dealer and a grower. The deal
er claimed that the tobacco delivered at
the warehouse was not according to con-
tract and to settle the dispute both
agreed to arbitration. The committee
gave the case hearing and the matter
was adjusted to the satisfaction of both
parties, thus avoiding an appeal to the
courts.

grown, which ranges from 40 to 45 cents
per pound. In order to make correct
average of the two kinds of tobacco, it
would be necessary to know what per
per cent of the crop in the two states
was shade-grown. Practically the entire
crop has been delivered to the dealers
and is superior to that of 1904. Some of
the dealers in this district are also large
growers.

were never go unreasonable in their de-
mands regarding the delivery of the crop
as the present season. Every farmer
wants to bring in his crop the moment
he has finished stripping and insists that
it be taken in within the month, which
of course it is almost impossible for the
buyer to do. It has been the custom
heretofore of dealers to receive certain
portion of their purchases each week, as
their warehouse needs may require. The
storage facilities for bundle tobacco with
most packers are limited and hence
they are unable to care for so large an
amount dumped upon them at any one
time. Very naturally the grower wants
to see the color of his money his crop
will bring him at the earliest possible
moment and he cannot be blamed for
this, but there is reason in all things.
The packers will receive their purchases
as rapidly as they can conveniently han
die them, but without having made pre-
vious arrangements for storage of bundle
leaf it will be utterly impossible for them
to have the delivery made much faster
than it is done in other years. Some
must patiently wait their turn.

The Department of Agriculture has is
sued the following review of the cigar
leaf tobacco crop:
New England.-Re from this dis
trict indicate a reduction in price of
about % per cent from the average of
last year. The average price for 1905 is
but II cents, as compared with ZIG cents
for 1904 At the time when harvesting
commenced, this crop gave promise of
being one of the finest grown for several
years, but spell of warm, damp wealth
er at curing time caused an unusual
amount of pole sweat, which reduced
the value of the crop very materially. If
this damage could have been prevented,
than, last year. There was also some
hail during the growing season. The
hail-cut tobacco has brought from to
10 cents per pound.
New York.-The prices in this district
range from to IA cents, in the bundle,
with an average of about 105 cents,
which is a small advance over last year.
The average quality of the leaf is better
than in 1904, and practically all of the
crop has been sold. There was some
damage from pole sweat, but not enough
to materially affect the value of the crop.
Pennsylvania. - The average price of
1913 cents per pound for this district is
an advance of nearly 20 per cent over
prices paid for the 1904 crop. Some
crops were sold in August at much
lower price, but there was consider
able advance during the fall months.
The larger part of this crop has been
sold, but only small per cent has been
delivered to the buyers.
Ohio-Miami Valley. = The average
price of 81 cents per pound for the Mi
ami Valley district is an advance of
about 20 per cent over last year. The
quality of the crop is inferior to that of
1904, as there was there was too much
rain during the growing season, causing
rust, and there was also some damage
from pole sweat.
isconsin.-Practically all of the 1905
crop in Wisconsin has been sold under
contract at an average of 10 cents per
pound, which is an advance Of about 25
per cent over the price paid for the 1904
crop. There has been still further ad.
vance of from 3 to 5 cents per pound
since the crop was contracted for, and
some purchases have been sold at the
advanced price. There was some tobac-
co damaged by hail, and this has been
contracted for at from 3 to cents per
pound.
Georgia and Florida.-The price of l8
cents for this district is for sun-grown
tobacco and does not include the shade

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS.,, Jan. 26, 100,

EDGERTON, WIS.,, Jan. rs, 1906.
The receiving of the tobacco crop is
now absorbing the attention of the deal
ers at the delivery points and the work
OF weighing in and settling for the pur-
chases, made several months ago, is 60
ing forward as rapidly as possible. The
tobacco is very generally coming to the
warehouses in good packing condition
and there are fewer complaints of deduc-
tions in settlements than for some years
past. 1t will take the greater part of a
month yet to complete the delivery.
Warehouse handling is now proceed
ing quite satisfactorily at the packing
points since the help has become we'll or
ganized, though more help could find
employment in this market.
The movement in old leaf is confined
to scattering lots these days, though the
lack of stock only prevents a more ex-
tensive business The demand is strong
for everything the cigar maker could use.
Pomeroy & Co. report the sale of 127cs
lot to New York dealer and 55 case
lot was sold to Kuttuner of Chicago
by Frank Kellogg.
The shipments out of storage reach
1475cs, about 30 car loads, for the week
to all points from this market.

GAYS MILLS, WIS, Jan. 18, 1906.

Wednesday and Thursday of last week
were big tobacco days. M. l.. Carrier of
Edgerton took in four large car loads in
the two days, while T. B. Earle received
a car load on Friday. The majority of
those who delivered were very we'll salts
fed, there being but little docking done
by the buyers. The case on the greater
part of the weed taken down early was
rather light one, hence the stuff did not
weigh quite as heavy as is usual. The
price paid this year, however, is good so
that on the whole the farmers are we'll
satisfied. The largest crop brought in
this year thus far was that of James
harrington of Halls Valley, whose crop
brought him $102603- Independent.

WINTER WEAKNESS
Or. Williams Pink Pills the Tonic
That Most People Need for
Blood and Nerves.

In winter the air of the close rooms in
which we spend so much of the time
does not furnish enough oxygen to the
lungs to burn out the foul matter III the
blood. In the cold season we do not exer-
else as much and the skin and kidneys do
not throw off the waste matter as freely
as usual. The system becomes overloaded
with poisonous matter, and too feeble
to throw it off. Relief can be had only
through the use of remedy that will
promptly and thoroughly purify and
strengthen the blood, and the one best
adapted for this purpose is the great
blood tonic known as DIR. Williams Pink
Pills.
"They acted like magic in my case"
said Mrs. Clara i. Wilde, of No. 377
Farnsworth avenue, Detroit, Mich. II
was weak and thin and could not sleep.
My stomach and nerves were out of or
der. | can't describe how miserable |
really was. l dragged through six
months of feebleness, growing weaker
all the time until finally hadn' 'tstrength
enough to leave my bed.
"Then a glad day came, the day when
began to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills.
They made me feel strong right away.
My appetite came back, l took on flesh
and the color returned to my cheeks.
People wondered that these pills did for
me what the doctors couldn't do. | took
only six boxes and then l was perfectly
well. If had not found this wonderful
remedy 1 surely think that must have
wasted to death. Believing firmly that
these pills saved my life by the strength
which they gave me at a critical mo-
ment, unhesitatingly recommend them
to others"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills contain no
stimulant but give strength that lasts.
They may be obtained at any drug
store.

His shrunken frame, fleshless hands
and emaciated limbs show little or no
life. He looks as though he did not
weight 100 pounds. His brain, how
his indomtable will he keeps at work
and manages occasionally to get to his
seat in the senate chamber
Recently, in conversation with an
Cid-time friend. he confided to the lat
ter that he proposed to retire from the
senate after TINS session has closed
He said he did not care to resign now,
as it would precipitate a fight for his
scat, and conditions were not favorable
for such contest in New York at this
time. This means that Senator Platt
has not yet completed plans for the
election of a man whom he wants to
succeed him. The only evidence that
Mr.. Platt's mind is not as serene as
ever is an irritability that he did not
formerly show. He is testy at times,
end impatient, and short even with
his old friends.
Like Senator Depew, Mr.. Platt be-
heyes that he has outlived his politi-
cal generation. In the confidence of
his home he will talk freely of the in
gratitude Of the Republican party. He
VIII rehearse the battles he has fought
for the party and men whom he has
made politically, and the disappoint-
rents they have brought him. His
only desire now he says is to leave pub
lie life, retire to his farm in New York
state and spend what may remain of
life to him in seclusion and away from
the turmoil and care of politics.

OVER SEA HABIT.
Difference on This Side the Water

The persistent effect upon the heart
of caffeine in coffee cannot but result
in the gravest conditions, in time.
Each attack of the drug (and that
means each cup of coffee weakens the
organ little more, and the end is al-
most a matter of mathematical demon
stration. A lady writes from a West
ern state:
II am of German descent and it was
natural that | should learn at a very
% years old drank scarcely anything
else at my meals.
"a few years ago l began to be af-
fected by a steadily increasing nerv-
BUSINESS, which eventually developed
into a distressing heart trouble that
made me very weak and miserable.
Then, some three years ago, was added
asthma in its worst form. My suffer
ings from these things can be better
imagined than described.
During all this time my husband
realized more fully than did that cof-
fee was injurious to me, and made
every effort to make me stop.
FINALLY it was decided few months
ago to quit the use of coffee absolute
ly, and to adopt Postum Food Coffee
as our hot table drink. l had but little
idea that it would help me, but con-
sented to try it to please my husband.
l prepared it very carefully, exactly
according to directions, and was de-
lighted with it's delicious flavor and
refreshing qualities.
Just so soon as the poison from the
coffee had time to get out of my sys-
TEN the nutritiye properties of the
Postum began to build me up, and |
am now fully recovered from all my
nervousness, heart trouble and asthma.
l gladly acknowledge that now, for the
first time in years, | enjoy perfect
health, and that / owe it all to Pos
tum." Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek. Mich.
There's a reason. Read the little
book, "The Road to Wellville," in

the meat sent on to Washington, where
he distributed it among a number Of
his friends.
Mr.. Jones was the first to evolve the
idea of crossing the buffalo and the
ordinary COW, and he is enthusiastic
in his statements of the results
of his experiments The Government,
through the department of agricul-
ture, has been assisting him. The ca
talo, as he calls the hybrid, has all the
desirable qualities of both classes Of
its ancestors and those who have par
taken of the meat say it has even a
finer grain and more delicate flavor
than the beef steer of old.
During his visit to Washington Mr..
Jones gave lecture on the catalo, and
tcld a large audience all about his
pets. He had photographs and NOV
ing pictures with which to illustrate
his talk. While he had frequently dis
cussed the wonders of the catalo with
his friends in Washington, this time
he was determined to prove that the
animal was no myth. So he produced
the carcass of the real animal and dis
tributed choice cuts of meat to some
senators and representatives, not for
getting a generous roast to Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson, who is very
much interested in this experiment
of Mr.. Jones, which it is hoped will
give the country an entirely new meat
animal.

lis old jauntiness of manner, but when
the effort has passed he ages ten years

down in his seat, his face becomes
gray and the lines of age are plainly
drawn.
The senator and his relatives deny
that he is subject to aphasia, but there
mas been unmistakable evidence that
this malady has taken hold of him.
Grave fears are entertained that its
appearance is a sign of physical and
mental breaking up. 1t is well re-
membered here that the first indica-
ton of the collapse of the late Admiral
William r. Sampson was his inability
to remember names and dates and the
Use of wrong words to express his
lucas. Senator Depew is watched
very closely by his niece, Miss Pauld-
ing, and he has been forced by her
to appear in his place in the senate.
One bad feature of his condition is his
aversion to mingle with his old col
leagues. He has conceived the notion
that they have lost faith in him, and
when he meets an old friend he will
glance at him hurriedly, inquiringly
and apprehensively until he sees a
welcome smile or a kindly glance.

is famous for his humor and wit, de-
clares that the abolition o. the passes
is contrary to good order And he
can prove it. The other day he had
to 50 to his home in Pennsylvania,
and for the first time in too many
years for him to remember exactly, he
bought a railroad ticket. He said he
went up to the ticket window and as
serted his rights as an American cit
izen to purchase a ticket Much to
his surprise the gentleman in charge
took his money and gave him ticket
in return.
The major at once went to the cap.

men had assembled in his office to
listen to his good stories and smoke
his good cigars, the major determined
10 give them ocular proof that he was

poration controlled creature. The
railroads cannot buy me with a paltry

The major reached into his pocket
to pull out his ticket, but a look OF
surprise came over his face when he
did not find the little piece of card
board; then he looked all through his
clothes and his pocketbook but no
railroad ticket appeared. There" he
said. II knew that nothing but evil
would come from this unjust ruling

The roar of laughter that greeted
the majors predcament indicated
that the joke was on him, but a few
minutes later an employe of the ser
geantat-arms' Office came in with the
ticket, which he had found. Its res
toration, however, did not persuade
the major that the abolition of the
passes vas good thing, especially
when tickets are SO easy to lose.
