Farmers Meeting.

There will be meeting of the Wis
consin Tobacco Growers Union, branch
of the A. S. of E. in Edgerton at Royal
hall, Wednesday, Jan. Both at o'clock
D. m. The sense of the meeting is to
contribute relief funds to protect the un-
sold part of the '06 tobacco crop; also to
discuss profitable marketing of live
stock, and to consider the contracting
price of the 'O7 beet crop, and to fix
minimum selling price on all farm pro
duce.
All farmers are union men as their
business places them in that circle, and
we. the undersigned members, appeal to
you to get in line and attend the meet
ing, for now is the accepted time.
The object of the meeting is not to
pull down, antagOnize or conflict with
mans business, but merely to build up
our own business, as the distributing
end of it has been sadly neglected since
the creation of man. There will be
meetings called in every city and con-
venient place in every county through
out the state of Wisconsin by local or
ganizers to rush this business to COM
pletion and the undersigned organizers
will speak in the following places:

GAINESVILLE

There is movement on foot here that
may result in the erection of union
interurban depot on the triangular piece
of ground which for years has been
known as the Corn Exchange.
It was not necessary for the night
clerk to awaken any of the guests at
Union House last Wednesday morning.
Before the guests had left their rooms a
freight car crashed into the two story
frame structure and knocked the build
ing and stove a hole in the side.
BIZ Dunwiddie, recently retired from
the bench of the twelfth judicial circuit
of Wisconsin, has returned to the prac
tice of law in this city. He has become
associated with United States District
Attorney William G Wheeler and they
have Offices in the Lovejoy block. The
firm will be known as Dunwiddie q
Wheeler, the same name that existed
previous to Mr. Dunwiddie's acceptance
of the circuit judgeship.
Judge George Grimm heard his first
case in GAINESVILLE Monday as judge of
the twelfth judicial circuit, the action
being that of Billings & Fredrickson vs.
Wilson Lane. The plaintiffs are con-
tractors and as such were employed by
Mr. Lane to do the mason work on a
double house he erected on Harrison
street. Mr. Lane alleges that the work
was not satisfactory and as such he re-
fused to settle and the lawsuit followed.
The Rock county druggists held their
annual meeting Monday. The most in
teresting part of the meeting was the
discussion on denatured alcohol, the sale
of which is surrounded by so much red
tape that it is hard to fully understand
the law. A permit must be had from
the government, then monthly record
must be made to the collector, sworn to
before notary public, then the price
being so much more than has been Civ
en-, make many hesitate about handling
it. However. it will be on the market in
couple of weeks. After this business
was finished officers we're elected for the
coming year. Mr. M Farnsworth Of
Beloit was elected president: w H Gates
of Milton, vice president; E B Helm
street, GAINESVILLE, secretary and treas
urer. Then adjourned to meet at Beloit
the first week in April. E B Heimstreet
was unanimously elected as delegate
to the State Pharmaceutical association.

of the French government at all is the best proof that Cardinal Merry del Va does not know his business Diplomatic relations had been broken off between the pope and France. NJ Nissard, the French ambassador to the pope, had been recalled from Paris On his de- parture he left behind him all his of ficial papers under the care of M.

Of course they seized the docu- ments, The Nuncio should either have carried them away with him, or should as is often done under such circum- stances, have requested the representa- tive of some friendly power at Paris to give them hospitality The idea of Cardinal Merry del Val that some friendly power, or all powers collective- ly. would demand the return of the papers only shows how ignorant the Cardinal is of the elements of all diplo-

 hear from what I believe is a good source that the papers left with M. Montagnini and now in the hands of the French government are really most compromising to the papal secretary of state and the papal court. Not only do they clearly show that efforts were being made by Cardinal Merry del Val to prevent the visit of King Alfonso to Paris, but they prove that the French bishops were in favor of ccReil- iation and urged to resist the French law by Rome. So compromising, in- deed, are they, and so clear do they make 1t that the French eeclesiastics hierarchy were acting under orders. and in defiance to the advice of several of their own most eminent members, <hat 1 it is probable that large concessions will be accepted on condition that they are not published.
