Maggie Gets Her Divorce.

Review of the Potato Industry.

The potato season which opened
about the 1st of September has been an
exceptionally lively one. There has
been a sharp but gentlemanly competi-
tion from the very beginning up to the
present time, and it will continue until
the practical close of the season which
will probably follow in two or three
weeks. The local buyers, G. Fl. Rines
& Co., Galley & Patsold, and I. E. Bur-
gan are too we'll known to need any
comment further than the fact that they
are all thorough-going, straight forward
business men, and pushers in bust
ness manner that are hard to excel.

Quoted their transactions, during the

The prices during the fall have

up to 60cts. and 65cts. per bushel. An
average price for the season would pro

with these figures, an easy way to gel

CLIMBING UP.

full news Of a decided increase in
trade all over the country and

Wool has reached it's lowest figure
since the election, but there is an
increasing demand at the present
time for wool products, with a
tendancy upward, though Austral-

from every locality show a steady

starvation. The savages would not supply
food to the whites. Even those who were
friendly feared to bring upon themselves
the anger of the bloodthirsty haters of
white men.
For nine days between Feb. 10 and 10
the party was wholly without eatab1es,
and the natives began to dread famine.
Finally they met with peaceful tribe of
semicivilized people, the Chimbiri, and
again their wants were supplied. On the
9th of March the thirty second and last bat
tie was fought with savage men. After that
it was battle with mighty torrents. The
lower portion of the great river is divided
into numerous deep channels broken into
ridges, along which the water rushes with
fearful velocity owing to the steep incline
of the land. In many places the most pow
erful steamer would prove as helpless as a
shell of boards. The currents are further
broken by trees, rocks and long reefs, and
several times the canoes in the hands of the
most skillful native boatmen were upset.
When the expedition was afoat, Stanley
led in the Lady Alice to spy out the safest
roads and the dangerous passes. One day
after the Lady Alice had rounded a point
in channel 13S feet deep she was drawn
into wide bay which indented the shore
600 yards above adangerous falls. One after
another three canoes hugging the shore
joined the Lady Alice on a stretch of sandy
beach. Suddenly the fourth canoe, one of
the best of the fleet, called the Crocodile,
was seen far out in the current rushing ON
with terrible speed toward the rapids. In
it were three of Stanley's favorite native
comrades, Kalulu, Mauredi and Ferajji.
Besides these were five native oarsmen. No
The Princeton union., 1894-03-22

help could be given the doomed voyaRers,
and those who had made land could only
look with horyifed and frozen gaze upon
the tragedy bGfore them.
The canoe was gliding with fearful rapid
ity toward an island which cleaved the
stream and sent each branch whirling from
its banks with angry velocity. Passing
down one branch on an incline, the canoe
struck Level water, on which it was whirled
about three or four times. Then the stern
flashed in the air for moment, and the
frail bark, with all it's inmates, was en-
quilted in the waters below. A second canoe
with two men was warned by the crew of
Lady Alice, but too late. It shot the falls
safely, however. The Lady Alice was now
rowed well out into the channel of the de-
scending canoes to repeat the warning that
death lay in the midcurrent.
Before the head of the line of canoes
could be reached third came gliding
swiftly along, carrying but one man. a
brave warrior lad named Soudi, who had
escaped the spears of the cannibal tribes up
the river. Warning reached him from the
Lady Alice just as his eye caught the break
in the current which marked the awful
precipice toward which he was rushing.
Too late to help again, and the poor soul
gave himself up to his fate, crying, ''I'm
lost, masterp' The canoe shot the falls,
with Soudi clinging to it's sides, and bound
ed on from watery terrace to terrace, now
whirling about in boiling eddies and again
caught by heavy waves and whisked first
to the right and then to the left. It did
not sink, and Soudi did not let CO. Dark
ness finally settled upon the scene, and next
day canoe and boy had disappeared.
On the Sth of April, 1877, the Lady Alice
narrowly escaped destruction and there:
after figured in the most thrilling events of
the voyage.
Three days later the barge entered Lady
Alice rapids, where the steep banks would
not admit of portage. Strong cables were
attached to the bow and stern, with three
