small lot.

NEW IOhh, sOCPC. lc, 1OU0.
The recent activity in our leaf mar
ket will find it's natural explanation in
the figures of the output of our cigar
industry throughout the country as
published in this issue. These figures
show an increase of over forty millions
against the August output of last year
and signify moreover the entry again
of a months output into the six hum
Hdred million figure. August was the
first month when our cigar industry
registered again an output of over six
hundred millions since the panic had
cut down that figure The output of
last August was only ifty-four millions
behind the August output of 1906 and
only sixty -one millions behind the phe-
nomenal August output of 1907. But
the entry again on the six hundred mil
lion figure is the most hopeful and reas-
suring sign of the final recovery of our
cigar industry. And it was this recov-
cry which was reflected in the strenu-
GUS activity of our leaf market during
the past few weeks. Last week the
activity fell off somewhat. Whatever
of it there was confined itself to Flor
ida, Sumatra and Havana. Particularly
in Hanana trading continues lively.
Very little business, however, is ex-
pected during the Hudson-Fulton Cele-
bration next week. Journal.

Since the biting frost of a month ago
the conditions for tobacco growth and
harvest have been most propitious, and
these have brought renewed courage
and faith to the cultivators of this
stable farm product. The gentle rains,
warmth and sunshine have given plants
a new vigor and broadened the leaves
and ripened the plants. There has been
a steady development in quantity and
quality, and still the plants are grow
ing. The fields yet unharvested give
better promise than those earlier har-
vested. This development has been
very benefcent in removing the dam
age first thought to have been wrought
by frost. If fair weather continues
throughout the present week there will
little tobacco standing in the fields
when next Sunday approaches. Because
of these substantial conditions for q
month past there is rejoicing by grow
ers and dealers. So far as we have
learned there has been no great move
ment in buying of late, at least in this
immediate locality. Censor.

That the rains of the past ten days
have benefited the standing tobacco is
a certainty In fact, the benefit it re-
ceived has been very Marked and, con-
leaves was materially increased It
has been the belief all along that the
crop would ripen satisfactorily if not
cut too quickly, but it was not gener-
ally supposed that there would be any
the rains came Probably not one-half
the tobacco has been cut, but this week
is Witnessing great activity along this
line, as the growers feel that they have
taken about all the chances they dare
take, in view of the fact that the sea-
son of frost is at hand. One heavy
frost, which may come any night, now,
would ruin the crop.
Lately the packers have been riding
the country, looking for the most likely
crops, and they express the belief that
there will be lot of good filler goods.
usual, but there is every reason to be-
lieve that the quality of the tobacco
will be there.
Very little trading has been done
lately in old tobacco, the local cigar
manufacturers being the sole buyers,
but there has been active trading In
the 1908 packings. The goods have
mostly, however, passed from one local
packer to another, though there have
been some outside purchasers. As
nearly as can be learned, the tobacco is
selling around Is cents pound, some

The buying movement will soon neeo

activity continues. A few buyers still
remain in the field, but the end of the

now secured.
Weather conditions for the curing
have been favorable so there is small
danger now of any further shed dam

There has been but little improve

Sun PRAIRIE, Wis, Sept. %, 1909.

The end of this week will see the
most of the tobocco crop in this section
in the shed. The opinions regarding
the amount of frost damaged tobacco
in this locality differ considerably.
True, some tobacco was damaged by
frost, but the percentage is small, and
only the upper leaves are nipped. Many
growers assert that they havn't raised
a better crop in years. The danger
now seems to be that some growers
have harvested the late tobacco before
it is ripe, IN their anxiety to get the
crop out of the way of Jack Frost.

gered because she married the man
Of her choice.
Mrs. Davis said her mother died in
1877 when she was Ave years old Her

then that he began furnishing her.
Once. she testified. she wanted TO go

and after she returned home her
father took of her clothing and whip
ped her with a thick strap until the
blood streamed from the wounds In
her body. She said she was caught
In the pantry by her father another
time and forced TO eat two pounds OF
shredded cocoanut. The cocoanut
made her sick. she said but she had
to eat because her father stood over
her with a strap.
Mrs. Davis said her father drank
liquor TO excess He often came home
intoxicated and once while in this
condition drove her and her step
mother from the house. and they were
compelled to remain In the barn all
night
According TO the testimony OF Mrs.

fused 10 eat with his wife or daugh-
ter and made the latter stand at his
side while he was ealing. He never

would jingle his teaspoon in the re-
ceptacle and indicate what he wanted.
In 1899, Mrs Davis testified, her
