OsceoIa Farmers and Business Men
Organize New Company.
A rousing meeting of the Osceola
Farmers Mutual Telephone company
was held at Osceola yesterday. More
than 200 farmers and business men
were present and enough capital
stock has been subscribed to assure
the construction of the proposed line.
The meeting ratified the election of
the following officers made by the
board of directors: George A. Taylor,
president; George F. Clark, vice pres
ident; A. E. Reese, secretary; Charles
II. Oakley, treasurer. The articles Of
incorporation will be filed with the
secretary of state this week, and with
in thirty days the directors will be in
shape to begin to do business and get
material on the ground for construct
ing the line. Midtown had two repre-
sentatives present, and it is the opin-
ion and belief of the company that a
line will be constructed to that place.

NEWS OF INTEREST.

Wisconsin Tobacco Men Also Send
Committee to Washington.
The tobacco growers and dealers OF
Wisconsin, took strong action against
the proposed reduction in the tariff
on Philippine tobacco. They selected
committee to go to Washington to
protest against the passage OF the
bill. This committee consists OF
Messrs A. L. Fisher and S. B. He'd
dies of GAINESVILLE, Charles Vetter OF
Madison, William T. Olson of Sun
Prairie and S. O. Ongard of Oxford
Vile
The resolution adopted by the con-
vention on the Philippine tariff ques-
ton was as follows:
Resolved, By the Wisconsin To
bacco Growers and Dealers associa-
ton, representing. an industry that
brings more than S5,000,000 annually
to this state, That we record our pro
test against the passage of the Philip
pine tariff bill now before congress
in it's present form, and earnestly re-
quest Senators Spooner and La Fol
lette to oppose the measure. AS
American citizens, we are unalterably
opposed to placing the labor of the
United States in competition with
that of the Malay race.
Resolved, That the secretary OF
this association notify our senators in
congress of our position by sending a
copy of these resolutions to each of
them"
The resolutions were offered by
Editor Fred w. Coon of Edgerton,
one of. the most prominent tobacco
experts in the state. The resolutions
were adopted unanimously.
The adoption of the resolutions is
generally regarded as slap at Con-
gresham Cooper, who voted for the
Philippine bill.
John NJ Estes of Stoughton was
elected president, A. l.. Fisher OF
GAINESVILLE, secretary, and Fred Coon
of Edgerton, treasurer.
Several hundred tobacco growers
and dealers from the southern part OF
the state were in attendance.-W

PFIsTER FILES NEW SUIT.

Withdraws Former Conspiracy Com.
plant Against McGovern and Free
Press and Starts Another for $780,
600.
Charles F. Pfister has withdrawn
his conspiracy suit against District
Attorney McGovern and others, and
has filed a new suit at Milwaukee,
again claiming damages in the sum of
$780, 900, but incorporating in his COM
plant the history of the trial of the
famous indictment, which resulted in
the case being taken from the jury
and a verdict ordered for Mr.. Pfster.
The withdrawal of the suit will dis
pose of the denlurrers interposed by
H. A. J. Upham and Guy D. Golf and
will save an appeal to the supreme
court on the issues raised by them.
1t is stated by Mr.. Pfisters attor-
neys that as soon as the twenty days
in which the defendants may answer
have elapsed, they will be subpoenaed
under the discovery statute, and as
soon thereafter as possible the case
will be brought to trial.
The new complaint names as de-
PENDANTS F. E. McGovern, Henry +.
Cochems, Guy D. Golf, Theodore Kron-
shage, Jr., H. A. J. Upham, Harry P.
Myrick, John J. Harvey, James K.
Ilsley and the Milwaukee Free Press.
In the former suit John H. Tweedy
was a defendant. Mr.. Harvey has
been substituted for him.
The complaint does not differ wide
Iy from the former one, except that
the facts of the trial are incorporated
and made one of the grounds, as are
also some OF the articles printed in
the Free Press during the progress of
the case in the municipal court.

GETS BADGER TOBACCO CROP.
United Cigar Company. Defeated the
Rival Bidder for Acreage.

United Cigar Company. Defeated the
Rival Bidder for Acreage.
Present indications are that in the
contest for tobacco in Wisconsin this
last year the United Cigar company
worsted the American concern, by
picking up considerable more acreage
at much cheaper prices than their RI
walls. Owing to the uncertainty in
the last few years of the Wisconsin
crop, the American had no riders in
the field, and consequently when the
shortage in the prop elsewhere ap-
peared, was forced to buy what it
could at much advanced prices. 1t is
said that the United Cigar company
bought it's 5000 acres all under 10
cents, while the American paid over
10 cents for all holdings, and in some
cases 1 6and 16 cents. The 1904 crop
is now entirely disposed of and all the
1905 contracted for.

La Crosse Doctors Send Memorial &c
City Council.
The La Crosse County Medical so
ciety has presented a memorial to the
common council, asking that improve
ments be made in the sanitary condi
tions of La Crosse. The memorial
first calls attention to the present
water supply, saying that the city
would not permit the present city
water to be furnished for one day by
a private corporation. 1t denounces
the present water system, and while
it does not recommend any particular
method of improvement, it leaves to
experts the solution of the problem.
The memorial recommends that the
council pass an ordinance regulating
the milk business in the city; that the
city establish an isolation ward where
all cases Of contagious disease can be
treated, no matter whether they come
from the howell or palace; that the
city employ a medical man as health
officer; that the anti-spitting ordi
nance be enforced by the police; that
a garbage plant be built for the dis,
posal of the garbage of the city and
that the streets be properly sprinkled
The memorial also calls attention
to the school buildings of the city
and all the schools, with the exception
of the new high school building.
architectural monstrocities." The
recommendation made by the medical
society has been referred to the
health committee of the council.

Washington, Feb 13 - The senate
yesterday adopted joint resolution
reported by Mr.. Tillman from the SEN
at committee on interstate commerce
which directs the interstate com
merce commission to investigate the
charge of discrimination and comblna-
ton in restraint of trade made against
the railroads.
The adoption of the resolution was
preceded by a speech by Mr.. Tillman
in which he practically charged that
the administration was not proceed
ing in good faith to secure railway
legislation because ne was not salts
fed with the presidents advisers.
Mr.. Lodge spoke at some length on
the railway question. He delivered
carefully prepared speech in which he
took a position for government regu-
lation of rates, but advised the ut
most caution against too radical ac-
ton. He expressed the opinion that
the giving of rebates was practically
the only evil existing in connection
with the railway systems of the coun-
try.
The house yesterday had sport with
the whipping post bill for wife beat
ers and then laid it on the table, eff
fectively disposing of it by vote OF
155 to 81.
