WAITING. WATCHING AND WISHING
Tha, is About the Status of Wisconsin
Tobacco Growers.

Nocase weather, no buyers, no move
ment locally, and very little elsewhere
in the country, is about the status OF
tobacco matters. although Edgerton re-
reports nibbling at what appears to
be low prices-4 acres at and cents,
2 at s and 2, Z at s and 2, 6 at and 2.
2 at and 2, 8 at 103 The Reporter
states that the new crop is being handled
at three warehouses in Edgerton in a
limited way, that the old leaf market is
a good deal of deadlock; that some
1906 goods might be moved if packers
were wIllingto accept losses, but as vet
they are not willing to do so. Farm 9rs
of Vernon county are much concerned
what disposition to make of their crops.
o. Fl. Helgeson stated at the Equity
meeting, last Monday, that farmers
crops as soon as case weather arrives.
He advised that they either case it
themselves or have it done by some re-
sponsible warehouse man, that If they
did so there ought to be little danger
but they will receive fair price for
the goods. He stated that it would not
be wise for them to store their bundle
tobacco in their sheds during the sum
mer months; that it will deteriorate in
quality and price if thus treated.
= The annual convention of Wisconsin
tobacco growers and dealers associa-
ton will probably be held about the
middle of February at GAINESVILLE in
connection with the tobacco institute
held under auspices of the state de-
partment of farmers Institutes.

BOYS IN TROUBLE.
Three Waxahachie Youths Accused
of Robbing Car in Fort Worth

Ollie Benson, Leonard McManus
and Jim Gray, three Waxahachie
boys of about sixteen or seventeen
years of age, were arrested in Fort
Worth Friday ON an alleged charge
of breaking into and robbing a
freight car in the railroad yards of
that city. 1t is claimed that several
pairs of shoes and other articles
were taken. The boys were indicted
by the Tarrant county grand jury
Saturday. So far as known they left
here Thursday for the Panther City.
A freight car was robbed il the
Katy yards of this city one night in
the early part of last week. Three
or four buckets of candy and a num-
Der OF eases of canned goods were
taken from the car Part of the
goods were recovered by the officers

up the candidacy of Colonel Dick
Wynne, the latest representative of
the Bailey faction in the race for at
torney general of Texas: Hon.
Richard M. Wynne of Fort Worth
announces his candidacy for the Of
flee of attorney general of Texas.
Colonel Wynne has on several occas-
ions offered himself for public
place, only to fall by the wayside.
He wanted to be governor of the
state at the time Crane and Savers
were contending for the prize. He is
a Bailey partisan, giving to the
Gainesville man his loyal support at
all times and under all circumstan-
ces. There are perhaps many other
things that might be said in connec-
ton with Mr. Wynne's candidacy but
they might not look so well in print.

THAT Is rhythm. Excellent. That's

to calculate to the surprise OF all and
to the great delight Of the small boys
Persons in the street began to recog-

procession so that the band had one
OF the largest audiences to which II
had ever played.
Bulow listened attentiyely to the end
Of the last piece and then made a deep
how before the drummer and his in
strumept,
