Tobacco Notes

M. D. Dillon and Mr. Lynch. of the
Scotch Dillon Co, Detroit, have been
visitors 10 the local tobacco markets
this week.
1t is a good indication to learn that
growers are supplying themselves with
the best strains of tobacco seed this sea-
son. w. I. Pomeroy & Co report that
their sales have reached upwards of 30
pounds to date.
The Edgerton branch of the American
Cigar Co. closed their packing house
Saturday after nearly three months run.
Mr.. Hoen, the manager, says he has had
good help and plenty of it and the branch
has put up more cases of tobacco than
any other year. The branch at Water
town has also closed, while those at
Brodhead, Stoughton, Madison and
Sparta are nearly through with the sea-
sons work The American Co. is the
largest holder of the '06 crop, having
bought more extensively of all grades
than for some years past.
NOTICE TO ALL TOBACCO GROWERS.
Owing to the fact that there are DIFF
ferent people who claim to sell Coms5ock
Spanish tobacco seed, it is our desire to
caution all growers when buying what
they suppose is the genuine seed to look
for the registered trade mark of w. T.
Pomeroy & Co. successors to Pomeroy
& Pelton on each package. If they find
said trade mark they may know them
selves to be in possession of the most

GAINESVILLE

| While alighting from way freight at
Hanover Friday night, John r Ehrlin-
| ger, former resident of this city, was
run over and so seriously injured that
death followed at 4:3C Saturday morn
| ing. As soon as help could be secured.
! the injured man was taken to FoOtville
| for medical attendance where he passed
away.
It was announced at the First Con-
gregational church Sunday that the
children of the late David Jeffris had de-
cided to have set of bells installed in
the edifce as a memorial to their father,
who, in his lifetime had occasionally
thought and spoken of such a plan. No
details have been decided upon as yet,
but w S Jeffris is in correspondence
with the owners of several foundries.
The present belfry will amply accommo-
date ten or more such bells as are con-
templated and their installation will
doubtless be the occasion of notable
ceremony.
When the case of the State of Wiscon-
sin VS. John Dilree, Thomas Finneran
and Lyle Wells of the town of Union,
and Nancy Hess, of Edgerton, was called
here in the municipal court Saturday
the action was dismissed upon motion of
District Attorney Fisher for the lack of
evidence. The young men were arreted
on the charge of arson on the complaint
of Colonel George Hall of Evansville
who claimed that his $4,000 leaf tobacco
shed was set on fire on March 18th. He
offered large reward for information
which would lead to the arrest and con-
victlon of the guilty party or parties and
it is believed that some individual who
bore grudge against the boys INDUCED
in light romancing and succeeded in
convincing Col Hall that the story he
told was true.

THE INTERURBAN PROJECT AGAIN.
Madison Capitalists Now Want to Build
the Line.

Madison Capitalists Now Want to Build
the Line.
Another phase of the interurban prop
| osition between GAINESVILLE and Madison
! has come into prominence during the
week, but this time it is from the other
| end of the line. It is announced from
| Madison that 100000 bond issue is
provided for in the articles of incorpora-
| ton for the Southern Wisconsin Light
| e. Traction company which have been
| filed with the secretary of state. The
company is authorized to operate in
| Dane and Rock counties, and is expected
! to build an interurban traction line from
| Madison to GAINESVILLE. F. w. Montgom-
cry president of the Madison lnterur-
| ban Traction company, Is one OF the in
| corporators.
| It does not specify its route or any
| thing definite beyond the fact that two
million dollars of bonds are to be issued.
| The Madison papers could not make Mr..
Montgomery give any definite statement
except he would not have to ask for a
| franchise to run his line from the city.
It is understood, however, that the
| Madison company, it's tracks which are
now extended through South Madison
to the county fair grounds and Chautau
| qua grounds, are to form part or this
two millions and be rated as worth a
| million. This leaves the other million
| dollars worth of bonds to pay for the
| line from the end of the present Madison
system to GAINESVILLE. Just how much
backing Mr.. Montgomery will be able to
command to build his proposed road is
not known. He has had to put consid
cradle money into his Madison system
and it is possible he may find it hard
work to float his other million dollars
worth Of bonds.
Mr.. Montgomery is the gentleman who
delayed the local Evansville Madison in
| torurban deal last fall. He insisted upon
conditions that could not be accepted by
! the Ciough company before they could
enter Madison over his line. He then
applied for an exclusive franchise In the
city of Madison and was turned down by
the council.

In Turkey there is q great consump-
ton of the milk of the buffalo. the
common COW, the goat and the eve,
but it is hardly ever used in natural
state. According TO IL paper read at
the London Academy of Medicine, the
milk is considerably reduced After
slow cooling the milk is trefsed with a
ferment taken from the previous days
supply. In few hours a curd forms,
which is called yaghoun. The prepa-
ration is preferred to milk, and it has
a pleasant, clean, acid taste and is Of
course nutritious.
