6 DEAD 24 HOURS
 BEFORE Ht Is FOUND
Body of Miner Found In Stump at Bottom of the
 Spray Shaft,

One of the strangest accidents that has ever occurred in the history of the district was that of which the first evinepCe was r0sIId ar the Spray shalt m Sunday morning, when the engineer hoisted one of the cages to the sur face and saw some clothes on 1t which no one seemed to own.
 Early Sunday morning the engineer on duty at the Spray shaft hoisted one of the cages to the surface, and seeing some clothing. thought it strange that the owner did not take them to the locker room. After four of i've trips, and no one had taken the clothing. the engineer reported the matter. and an Investigation was put on foot.
 Every man working at the mine, with the exception of Stephen Murich. had reported as usual, and he had not been seen for over twenty-four hours, although several men had remember ed seeing him the preceding day. After several hours the body of Murich was found lying beneath the surface of the water In the sump at the bottom of | the shaft.
 K The body was horribly mangled. the top of the skull being cut clean of. and the brains entirely gone. The [ DdCK was DFDht1 anu dll Dt IHE bOiC0 lin both legs.

MOTHER MAKES MOST BLOODY THREAT
Wife of Phoenix Fugitive Con
 stable Says She Will Kill Anyone Who Attempts to Take Custody of Her Child.

PHOENIX, Jan. I4.-"I am going away and I am going to take my baby with me. and If any one tries to stop me I will Kill them."-Mrs. Lee Red wine.
 Mrs. Lee Redwine did not appear in the Probate Court Saturday m5inine to contes the removal of her pretty little daughter from her custody.
 The mother of Mrs. Redwine. Mrs Boone. appeared in court to support her petition upon which the citation was issued to Mrs. Redwine to show cause why she should not be aepriysS of the custody of her child. The ground of the complaint made by Mrs. Boone was that her daughter. Mrs. Redwfne. was morally unfit to care for her offspring. Judge Phillips this morning issued an order making Mrs' Boone the custodian of the child.
 Mrs. Hedw1ne remarked to her mother this morning that she was going to have the child regardless oi the outcome of the matter pending III court and that she would Kill any one who attempted to interfere.
 JuQEe FullllpS Mdo VOiu VI "h0S SAt> had said and replied that he could d' nothing with her for talking, but th' moment she attempted to interfer' with the order Of the court she woul' be in contempt and would be prompu. sentenced to jail.
 Judge Phillips states that he is will ing to give the child to its mother l she settles down and shows dlsposl tion to do what is right. Her mora conduct must improve. though. an' she must do something to support ta' child. She has no money and is doinl no work.
 It may be that she can get the nec essary funds to support the child with out going to work, but the name getting it without working would no satisfy the court. The means migh be bad. but the moral reasons for dt priving her of her daughter woui still be in existence.

La Crosse Factory Retires.

After fighting the tobacco trust for
two years in futile endeavor to work
Up proftab BILE business in the North
west, the Western Tobacco Works of
La Crosse has formally retired from bus
mess.
The company was organized in that
city in 1905 for the purpose of manufac-
turing smoking and chewing tobacco
and dealing in leaf tobacco in its varied
forms. Many thousands Of dollars we're
spent in endeavoring to create market
for Red Feather smoking tobacco and
other products of the factory. But
everywhere the agents of the local firm
went they found the trust cutting prices
and using methods commonly practiced
by it to make it difficult for the indepen-
dent company to do business.
After two years of this sort OF thing
Mr. Hyde came to the conclusion that
the business could never be made to pay
against such competition as the trust
was putting up.

NEW YoRK, April "a, 1907

The market has been SO dull recently
as to invite comparison between the
present situation and the one that pre-
vailed year ago. 1t must be remem-
bered, however, that year ago every
manufactures was afrsid of running
short of stocks. A different feeling pre-
walls now. The manufacturers prefer to
wait and let the packer pay the interest
for six months. Those who have stocks
naturally are not in hurry to buy, and
those who need tobacco, buy sparingly
and from hand to mouth This has
caused temporary lull, but manufac-
turers are in the main busy, and stats
tics show that more cigars are being
made each year. The consequence is
obvious.
Sumatra With the exception of some
large sales in the East, the new Sumatra
is reported to be moving slowly. The
old is being picked over, and most of the
transactions are of this kind of tobacco.
Havana. 1t is even yet too early to
give an authoritative opinion on the
merits of the coming CROP and this point
contains the sole interest that exists as
far as Havana tobacco is concerned. The
local market. as well as the one In Ha-
yana, is dull.-Leaf.

Havana Cigars.

During last year there were exported
from Cuba the enormous number OF
256, ,738,O29 "Havana" cigars. Contrary
to the general idea, however, that Amer
lea gets the bulk Of this trade, only
about 80 per cent came here, the total
purchases amounting to 9,483, 125 cigars,
while England took 81, ,459,687 Germany
buys from twenty five to thirty million,
and France ten to twelve million. One
reason for the larger sales to England
than to the United States is the fact
that America buys a larger amount of
leaf tobacco, which is worked up here;
last year twenty-fiv million pounds were
imported, while England took only
twenty-five thousand pounds. But few
Cuban cigarettes come to this country,
most of the manufacture going to South
America. Although two hundred and
fifty million cigars-the number we re-
ceived from Cuba would appear to be
considerable stock, cigar dealers cases
would soon be empty if that were the
only source of supply, as America smokes
some 8,000,00O,000 cigars annually

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.
EDGERToN, WIS, MAY 5, 1907.


Aside from some warehouse work yet
to be accomplished at the packing points
the conclusion could easily be reached
that the tobacco season had closed.
What there is left of the 06 crop in
country hands is mostly assorted and
cased and very little effort is made at
present to lift it. Both the grower and
packer is satisfied to await developments
of the market.
We hear of few sample sales of new
goods that bring c bare profit to the
packer, and little export business in
old leaf, but generally speaking the mar
ket is exceedingly dull, both at home
and in the eastern centers of trade. A
few car loads of low grade goods were
picked up in this market during the
week by GAINESVILLE dealer.
The outlook for the coming crop at the
beginning of May is not very encourag-
ing. Early in the week growers were
shoveling snow off their plant beds, and
freezing weather continues up to the
present writing. The young plants have
commenced to show but cannot make
much Roadway under existing condi-
tions. Warmer weather must come soon
if the planting season is to start at the
usual dates.
The shipments out of storage reach
500 cases from this market to all points
for the week past

The market continues to be devoid Of
any notable transactions. A routine
business is being done exclusively and
those who have to buy have to pay the
prevalent market prices in spite of the
apparent dullness. The expected break
in prices has not yet materialized. 1t
hardly could with the limited stock in
first hands. Meanwhile speculation,
meditation and gossip concern them-
selves with the question now uppermost
in the minds of the trade, whether the
break will really come. On the part of
the manufacturers, as pointed out re-
peatedly in this place, the affirmative
answer to this question seems to have
been discounted already. But the ut
most that the market appears to concede
is, that prices may not go up. May, and
not will. For hope and expectations are
still lurking, that when the season opens
manufacturers will be SO exhausted that
they will fall over each other to replen-
ish and the prices will soar up again.
For the present, however, conditions are
not very encouraging in that direction
In the Sumatra market alone healthy
activity seems to prevail in cleaning out
the old stock. The new, however, is not
overlooked either. Sales transplre every
day and realize good prices. In the Ha-
vana market the continuing discourag-
ing reports about the holding out of the
drought which is retarding the market

ulating effect on quicker movement oi

The reports regarding new 6umatra
are not as encouraging as they might be.
Importers received cables before the
fourth sale at Amsterdam, that the to-
bacco was to large extent brittle, and
again contained tender leaves COnse-
quently only $500 bales out of 10000
we're purchased for this country at
prices still very high but not correspond
ing with those of the first or second
sales. The money market in Europe is
also high, eight per cent being the rate
of discount, and European dealers we're

they might be otherwise.

Had there been sufficient old tobacco
In the local market to trade with last
week, business would have been brisk,
for there was demand from outside buy
ers for considerable goods. and prices
had stiffened sufficiently to warrant the
packers selling. Those who had goods
they wanted to let go received better
prices than have been paid lately, some
as high as 90 cents, marked weight. The
largest single sale reported was made by
Rich & Paules, of Marietta, who sold $50
cases of 1906 tobacco for 20 cents, mark
ed weight. The rumor that some of the
big dealers from distance, as well as
manufacturers, had loaded up too heav-
lily with 1905 goods, and proposed put
ting lot of it on the market, doubtless
brought number of prospective buyers
here, but they secured very little goods.
The local dealers feel more easy, as they
do not believe there will be any flooding
of the market with reserve goods.

The sales reported by the growers last
week do not indicate the slump in prices
which some packers stated had taken
place, and which others deny The Kel-
Ter estate recently sold 80 acres of 1906
tobacco for 15 cents pound for wrap
pers and 6 cents for filters, and from the
b. j. McGrann farms were sold 20 acres
at Is and cents. The purchasers were
Yocum Bros, of Reading. Julius Vet
terlein, a Philadelphia, dealer, was here
buying up new goods, and he paid 141s
cents through. We heard of some to-
bacco being sold at II cents, and even as
low as 10, but as a prominent dealer put
it, 1T was 10 and 12-cent goods
The cigar trade continues fair, and the
outlook is good for brisk spring trade.

Connecticut Valley Tobacco Market.


As there is nothing doing in the line
tobacco sales, the next thing of interest
is the progress of the plants in or out of
the seedbeds. In some of The beds the
plants have begun to show themselves,
but in most of them man must be
sharp sighted to discover even one tiny
little plant. Saturday asked one man
in this locality whether his plants were
up. His answer was that by looking
closely one might find one hundred
plants, and that bed is good average.
Of course, in those beds in warm, nat
ural, sheltered places the plants show
all over. But, as a rule. think the beds
are as forward as the season. So long
as so many snow banks are in sight, and
we have such high winds as were in evi-
dence Saturday, with the ground as dry
as it has been until recently vegetation
will not make very rapid strides, and
that is why | speak of that particular
bed being an average bed.
Our correspondents report as follows:

mentation introduced here by the de.
partment has resulted very satisfactorily
and the packers in whose warehouses
the experiments iii this line have been
conducted have expressed themselves as
highly pleased with the method. This
method has now become general in Ohio
and the South and is also extensively
used in Connecticut, but has not pre-
vailed here. The results have been so
satisfactory that the method will un-
doubtedly find more favor with the
packers in the future.

 Penelope took a long breath and -tarted on after her brother and his wife, who were chatting with the guide. After the rough climbing of the morn- ing, the little plateau seemed heavenly. But even this respite did not ease Penelope's sense of irritation.
 Arthur and Alice's fad had seemed 50 amusing at first that she had read fly accepted their invitation to join them. To hunt the wild game of the Rockies with camera was unique enough to be interesting. But the hunt Of the long tailed deer, so high among the peaks that rapid work was misery. had been very bad. The three days s chase for a snap at the black wolf had been worse. and 1t ended in failure. But this chase for a mountain sheep was trying Penelope beyond endur- ance.

 But even this vision failed to move his sister. She shook her head. Alice gave a resigned little laugh.

 .TGo, you won't" said Arthur hastily. tTt's not safe. TWO women are no bet ter than one here.
 Here the guide interposed, He had been with them but day, but already. besides being their guide, he was their counselor and friend. He was too we'll bred to be treated otherwise. Penelope looked at the stalwart. heav- ify beared fellow in a troubled way His resemblance to Dick. in spite of the beard ". w.as startling.

 Mrs. Seymore looked a little dubious, but Penelope spoke eagerly Here was a chance for an hour or two of rest that was not to be foregone.
