TO PRESIDENT FOR AID IN
CONTROLLING STRIKERS.

Washington, April 1.-THE acting
governor of Alaska has appealed tc
the president for troops to preserve
the peace at the Treadwell mines in
Alaska, where about 700 miners are
reported to be on strike. After secur-
ing an opinion from the Judge advo.
cate general of the army to the effect
that nothing in the law would operate
to prevent the use Of troops in such a
case the order has been given to the
military commander at Fort Seward
to send one company of troops from
that post to Treadwell, under COM
mand of discreet officer, to protect
the public property and assist the
United States marshal in executing
the laws. He is authorized to in

require it.

Why Swelling Follows a Blow.

The swelling which follows from a
blow is natures effort to protect the
part from further injury and to keep it
at rest while repair is going on. What
actually takes place at the seat of in
jury is not even now quite understood
The injury to the smaller blood vessels
interferes with the flow Of blood
through them, and the white corpus
cles, with part Of the serum, the wa
tering part Of the blood, escape into
the surrounding tissues: At the same
time the blood vessels in the neighbor-
hood dilate, and the increased flow Of
blood with the thoroughfare INSTRUCTED
increases the swelling. It is proba BILE
that the white corpuscles Of the blood
pass into the tissues to assist in the re-
pair, as bees or ants assemble at an in
jury to their storehouse, but with this
difference-that the substance of the
corpNScles is probably converted into
the tissue Of repair. From one point of
view the human body is only one gi-
gantic colony of individuals and the
swelling that follows injury but the
rush Of these to repair the breach.

Brewery Strikers at St. Louis Fail to
Resume Work.
st. Louis, April 2.-Ignoring the
threat made Saturday night by the
owners Of the breWeries to declare
open shop unless the striking en-
ployes resumed work pending arbitra-
ton of the wage scale dispute the
masters, brewers, bottlers, firemen,
oilers and laborers assembled in vari-
GUS halls for further discussion of the
situation. None returned to work.
The boss brewers also held a confer
ence to decide what further steps to
take. -,-.a-
Negotiations looking to the settle
ment of the strike are under way.
Secretary Adam Huebner of the Inter-
national Brewery Workers union ar
rived from Cincinnati and with Louis
Hemper, another secretary Of the un-
ion from Cincinnati, arranged with
the brewery proprietors for a confer
ence. Officials Of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor, with which the fire.
men, oilers, transfers and engineers
are affiliated, have arrived, but would
make no statement concerning the
purpose of their presence beyond that
they are here to observe the strike
conditions.
Although the ultimatum Of the en-
ployers declaring an open shop went
into effect during the day there was
no rush Of nonunion men to take the
places Of the strikers and compare

Cubans Have Many Questions for His
Consideration.
Havana, April 2.-Secretary Of War
Taft's arrival here is awaited with
keen anxiety by politicians and gov
eminent officials. Many questions of
moment have been held for his con-
sideration and decision that will mean
much to Cuba.
Financial and political interests
generally demand definite information
regarding the policy Of the United
States. The uncertainty creates un.
easiness, both politically and fnan-
cially, throughout the country.
English interests, particularly the
railroad companies, are also anxious
to know precisely what the Washing
ton government proposes to do.
The Liberal politicians have a large
number of propositions for running
the country which they are eager to
submit to Mr.. Taft. His attitude to-
ward them is looked forward to with
interest. ~

A Quaint Scotch Weddina Custom,


A quaint wedding custom still pre-
walls in many of the little country
towns and mining villages in Scotland.
When a wedding is held the contract
ing parties make their guests pay in
full for the eating, drinking and dane
ing facilities which are usually pro-
vlded on such occasions. The practice
still seems to survive even in Glasgow.
A correspondent observed a notice
posted up in the Cowcaddens, a low
class Glasgow thoroughfare, informing
the public that soldier would shortly
enter into the bonds Of wedlock and
that .tWopence would be charged for
admission to the ceremony and an adj
ditional sixpence imposed for attend
ance at the wedding feast. The prac-
tice seems to be peculiarly Scotch, but
sixpence certainly seems moderate
enough for marriage supper.-West-

A Nice Legal Distinction.
A lawyer in the Indian Territory
named McGann was the attorney for a
farmer who had killed a neighbor.
Mccain got the man out on bail on the
plea Of justifable homicide or some
thing of the kind, and the farmer i'm
mediately took his gun and killed the
chief witness against him.
Naturally this nettled the sheriff and
the Judges, and they offered $500 re-
ward for the murderous farmer Say"
said McGann to the sheriff, Twill you
give me that reward if get him?"
"Yes," the sheriff replied, and McGann
rode out to the hiding place of his
client.
The farmer came up, and Mccain
shot him, took the body back to town
and demanded the reward. How
about this, McGann?'' asked another
lawyer. 'Do you think it is in accord
ance with the ethics Of the legal pro-
fession to take advantage of your eli
ent in that manner?" ethics be blow

The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1907-10-04

a statement made in this column last
week relating to frost dates in other
years. We entirely overlooked the fact
that the greatest loss to tobacco growers
of this state was in 1883 when nearly
three-quarters of the crop of that year
was frozen in the fields. The earliest
record of frosts, however, was in 1873
when on August 21st killing frost
ruined both the corn and tobacco, but
the acreage devoted to tobacco in that
year was only 440O acres, while in 1883
it had reached 12,3OO acres. Thus when
you come to consider the increased acre
age now being produced in this state the
aggregate amount of tobacco caught by
frost this season is very nearly as large as
during the years above mentioned. 1t
Wa. be interesting to note in this con-
nection that for twenty years frost has
fallen but twice prior to the middle of
September. These exceptions were in
1888 and 1890, when it came on the 18th.
In 1900 frost fell on the 18th of Septem-
Der and in 1889 there was frost on the
18th. In 1897 frost fell on September
Both and in 1887 there was frost on the
24th. In 1899 there was frost on the
26th. In 1891 there was frost on Oct.
and in 1902, the year of marvellous pros
perety, frost held off until November %.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, Oct. 4,

OOGHnIONs w Ao., OCus 4, ICOt'
The standing tobacco marked by the
frosts of week ago has been mostly
housed, thus closing the harvest of the
season. The chief concern now lies with
the curing for which the weather of late
has been far from suitable. With only
one or two good curing days in three
weeks leads growers to fear that the
troubles of the crop are not yet over.
There are some indications of Indian
summer weather which is due US, and
that may help out in curing the major
part of the crop which is hardly yet
started.
Buying of the new crop seems to be
out of the question for some time to
come, or until it's character can be
better determined. A few remnants
of last years crop have been lifted dur
ing the week. Martin Mason sold 51cs
at l6&5c and G.. L. Holton 37cs at 1ec,
both to Dwight Loomis of Springfield,
Mass. Trading among packers does not
yet show much improvement. Samples
of last years packings are about ready
for inspection but it is intimated that
the large manufacturers are playing
waiting game, hoping for cheaper asking
prices later on. A few out-of-town buy
ers have been in the state of late but we
hear of no large transactions being
closed.
The shipments out of storage reach
around 70Ocs for the week to all points
from this market.
