Big Potatoes and Turnips.

E. j. Lawrence, farmer at Peace
River, Canada, says:
With the most ordinary cu:tivation, we
grow from two to four hundred bushels
of potatoes, and upward, per acre. The
heaviest potato that have weighed was
three and one-fourth pounds, and, from
three pounds of Early Rose seed, dug
672 pounds of sound potatoes.
Last season weighed a turnip, that
had had only ordinary field culture,
without fertilizlng, which weighed
twenty-five pounds ten ounces. after
ward picked up four more that brought
up the weight, with the first one, to
ninety-three and half pounds.

Minister Phelps Remarks at u T~hanksgtv-
ing Dinner Causing Much Comment.
BERLIN, Nov. %. AT the Thanksgiv-
ing dinner in the Kaiserhof, William
Walter Phelps, United States ambsssa-
dor, made some remarks concerning
Prince Bismarck which have excited
general establishment and considerable
disapproval. Mr.. Phelps went out of
the of his address to say that the
United States citizens at the table re-
membered with gratitude the friendly
attitude maintained by the EXCHANGED
lor toward their native land and the
many pleasant friendships which he had
sustained with their compatriots. The
magnitude, unity and glory of the Ger
man empire, Mr.. Phelps continued, were
Bismarck's work. His opinions were
respected today by the whole world as
fully as they were when he was in Office.
Just why Mr.. Phelps should have made
these remarks is a mystery. His rela-
tions to the emperor were considered to
be exceptionally cordial. That he should
have selected an occasion when his off.
cial rank was especially conspicuous to
praise the most violent antagonist to the
emperor, to which he is credited, gener-
ally is regarded as an evidence of ques-
tionable taste.

The Floods and Starvation.

SEATTLE, Nov. GA startling story
of starvation among the miners in the
mountains east Of Snohomish has just
reached here by E. T. Keit and Fritz
Livingstone, who has been for fifty
hours without food. The freshets
hedged the miners in and on account of
their exhausted condition they were not
able to get to the transport and obtain a
new supply of food. Keit and Filing
stone are the only men out OF fifty
miners who started for Snohomish four
days ago to get in. The others dropped
along the route from sheer exhaustion
and want of food, and it is feared they
are lost in the woods.

SAILORS.

Non-UnIon Men Put on BOARD a Sloop and
Carried Away from Their Ship.
TACOMA, Wash, Nov. 2S.-Shipping
circles are excited over the kidnapping
of eight non-union sailors. At mid
night a ten-ton sloop came over from
Seattle bringing four members of the
of the Sailors union. These went from
ship to ship in the harbor and gathered
a force of thirty union sailors, most of
whom went to the sloop in sail boats.
Shortly before midnight they ap-
preached the bark, and, finding nobody
on guard, they climbed over her sides
and down into the f%orecastle. They
rudely awakened the non-union sailors
by pounding them on the head with the
butt end of revolvers. They were or
dered to pack up their clothes and they
did SC. Then the union men carried
them forcibly aboard the sloop, locked
them in the hatohway and set sail.
They were landed at Port Blakely,
thirty miles from Tacoma. They were
left without a cent of money and with
tho injunction that if caught again on a
non-union ship they would be killed.

Indians Kick ON Taxation.

WABASH. Ind, Nov. @S.-There is a
serious misunderstanding between the
Miami Indians in Wabash county and
the county treasurer. Some one has in
formed the Indians that they are not
compelled to pay taxes, and as a result
the copper colored owners of many good
farms in the southern part of the
county allowed their taxes to 90 de-
linquent. A tax collector called upon
them and was ordered off the premises
of the red men. He succeeded in levy
ing upon ten head of horses, however,
and the Indians then came to Wabash
and employed a lawyer to secure a re-
straining order to prevent the sale Of
the horses. Judge Snively granted the
order, and the noble reds now purpose
testing the question of their liability to
taxation. The Indians in this county

ing wheat into market all over North
Dakota and Minnesota, crowding prices
down and filling the elevators to over
flowing. Now the complaint is that
the companies do not furnish more than

LII POTTE DAVID P. THOMPSON.
foreign tour. For the first place President
Harrison has selected Mr.. William Potter,
of Philad alpha, and for the second Mr..
David I. Thompson, of Portland, Or.
Both appointments excite much comment,
as Mr.. Potter is the thirteenth member of
the Union league of Philadelphia to re-
ceive a diplomatic appointment within a
few years, and Mr.. Thompson is the pio-
neer banker and enterpriser of his section.
Nh. Potter was born in Philadelphia in
1852, and is doubly possessed of the great
Philadelphia requisite-"family'-for his
father was long an eminent citizen and
his mother was descended on both sides
from heroes of the Revolution. One of her
ancestors, Brigadier General Bower, en-
listed in the Continental. line in IT'S and
was among the last mustered out in 1888;
served in the war of 1925 as a general,
and was long a "survivor" and leader of
the Cincinnati. Inheriting a good bust
ness and some capital from his father, the
new minister improved both, and became
in addition a man of broad culture. He
was appointed special commissions to the
postal uSion congress at Vienna in 1891,
and his success in that place had much to
do with his recent appointment.
MI. David P. Thompson, the new min
lister to Turkey, is a typical western man
and one of the shrewdest %financiers on the
Pacific coast. He was born in Cadiz, O.,
at a time when that region was considered
pretty far west, INC was bred to the trade
of a blacksmith. While hammering iron
he studied surveying of nights and in spare
hours, and soon took high rank in that
line. He was in the engineer corps of the
Steubenville and Indiana railroad under
Mr.. Jacob Blickensdorffir (since generaD,
and did his work so we'll that he received
fattering offers from the far west. He
went to Oregon in 1858, and for twenty
years was a noted surveyor.
During the war he served in the Oregon
cavalry, and later was governor of Idaho,
three terms mayor of Portland, and four
years in the state senate, and presidential
elector in 1884. besides holding minor Of
fees. All this time he was investing with
unusually good judgment and in due time
became q wealthy banker.

DUN'S TRADE REVIEW,

Business Throughout the Country in Ex-
cellent Condition.
NEW YORK, Nov. 2S-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
The condition Of business throughout
the country appears excellent, with the
volume of trade greater than in n
previous year. At Boston trade is good,
prospects are considered excellent, and
money is easy at lower rates. At Phil
adelphia trade is fairly active. The vol
ume of business at Chicago is satisfac-
tory and collections good, with money
in strong demand, currency being
wanted for the Southwest. Trade at
Milwaukee is stimulated in all lines,
with gratifying results, and money is in
good demand. At Minneapolis and St.
Paul there is good trade with collections
improving, though still somewhat back
ward. The Minneapolis -four output is
1871 900 barrels against 18O, 900 last year,
and the lumber market is strong, the
cut being $50, 900, 900 feet, the largest on
record.
In speculative circles cotton has alb
sorbed interest because of enormous
transactions amounting to about $780,
900 bales or nearly tho entire crop.
Wheat is comparatively inactive, with
3-8 of a cent decline, and corn and oats
are unchanged with small transactions.
The condition Of the great industries is
decidedly favorable.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the past
seven days number for the United
States 18O, and for Canada ~, or a total

A PAIN MACHINE
One That Will Do the Work of Fsrty n
Invented by q C~hicagoan.

Ono That Will Do the Work of Forty Men
Inyented by a Chicagoan.
! CHICAGO, Nov. 28.-Artist Frank
Millett has invented a machine to paint
the big white buildings at Jackson Park.
With the assistance Of this machine two
men can smear as much paint or calci-
mine in a day as forty men with brushes.
The invention, aside from it's speed
with which it decorates the building,
possesses the advantage of never going
out on a strike or quarreling with the
boss for shorter hours and larger pay.
IT is simply a gas pipe about a foot long,
- -ass.e" -er 90 ere ann 40 as TO rua~1 ar
opening about an inch across and wide
enough so as to insert a sheet of card
board. This pipe is attached to q long
piece Of rubber hose. The other end Of
the hose is dipped in a barrel of paint.
An electric motor pumps a current of
air and q lot of paint through the hose.
The force of the air scatters the paint
IN 2 fine spray as it comes from the gas
pipe. A painter simply seizes tho gas
pipe holds it about eighteen inches from
the surface he is decorating, the electric
motor is turned on and the work is
done. Several men were sprinkling the
rafters Of Electricity Hall Friday with
pale blue calcimine. They were on top
Of tall scaffold, mounted on wheels
and covered q greater area than a whole
