Mckinney the Potato King of
This Region.

POTATOES ALL GO UP.

Kansas City, June 6.-James AcKin-
ney. of the commission firm Of NfcKin-
ney Bros, has practically cornered the
potato market. Mckinney is said to
have more of the product to sell than
all the potato brokers in the west
Within the past four days Mckinney
has raised the price Of potatoes %
cents and a further rise is anticipated.
Twenty days ago Mckinney con-
tracted for the only available potatoes
now in the West-one hundred car
loads from Greeley, Col.
Mckinney is said to have cornered
the market five years ago when he
raised the price from % cents to 81 a
bushel. Today when asked if he would
raise the price to 81 he replied NO /
don't know that I will am making
good deal at present. New home grown
stock is coming in and before 1t be-
comes abundant I must move what i
have on hand These markets are dan
gerOus things to play with. am in
control today; tomorrow may snow a
different front"
The market this year has been a very
peculiar one. In other years, when
there was a shortage at this season,
northern stock was available and pre-
vented a corner This year that
stock was plentiful. but the quality so
poor that it was sold at from ten to
fifteen cents a bushel Home grown
stock Of last year has also left the
What is left of it is selling at % to 80
cents a bushel against 10 and 10 cents
three weeks ago.
Up to a week ago there seemed to be
plenty of Colorado stock on the mar
ket and it sold at 40 cents a bushel.
Mckinney held back his stock and
bought up everything in sight, until he
was in complete control. Then the
price jumped up 25 cents in car lots.
Mr. Mckinney was besieged on every
hand Orders came in rapidly and all
his teams have been busy filing them
for a week. OF the 20 cars nearly half
have been sold. Last Wednesday Mr.
Mckinney refused to sell more than
a panic. That night the prices ad-
vanced IS cents. At the present rate it
is estimated that he viii come out Of
the deal between $4,000 and $4,000
ahead.
Mr.. Mckinney also stated that he
would have no trouble in cleaning up
all he had left, at q round profit. His
firm has attained a reputation for
heavy dealing in all kinds of products
where an opportunity is offered to cor
ner the market, but this last deal is
the biggest yet entered into. Last
summer the firm for several weeks had
all the watermelOns in this part of the
country and consumers paid hand
Old commission men say this is not
the first time the McKinneys have had
control of the potato market. About
five years ago they made very much
the same kind of a deal Between two
suns they advanced prices from .
cents to 81 a bushel The deal netted
them no less than $40, 600.

According to the teachings Of ad-
vanced modern astronomy it is a mis-
take to suppose that the shape of the
moon is similar to that of the earth
II is believed nowadays that the moon
is a perfect eIlipse. it's figure being
being nearly exactly one-third longer
than it is broad. he elliptical theory
of our satellites shape is founded on
the wen-1nown fact that a certain side
lend, rather) of the moon is always pre-
scented to our view. This is caused by
the moon revolving once on her axis
in exactly the some period Of time that
she revOlves around the earth. Her
elongated shape was probably caused
by the attraction Of the earth when
both planets were young and soft

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

WASHINGTON, Nov. A-The Presi-
dent to-day issued the following Thanks
giving proclamation:
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES
The people of she United States
should never be unmipdful of the graf
itnde they owe TO the God of nations
for his watchful care, which has shield
ed them from disaster and pointed out
to them the way of peace and happi-
ness. Nor should they ever refuse TO
acknowledge with contrite hearts tseir
proneness TO turn away from Gods
teachings and to follow with sinful
pride after their own devices.
To the end that these thoughts may
be quickened, it is fitting that on a day
especially appointed we should join to-
gether in approaching the throne of
grace with praise and supplication.
Therefore, l, Grover Cleveland, Pres
ident of the United States. do hereby
designate and set apart Thursday, the
Goth day of the present month of No
vember, to be kept and observed as a
day OF Thanksgiving AID prayer through
out our land.
On that day let all our people forego
their usual work and occupation, and,
assembled in their accustomed places
of worship, let them with one accord
render thanks to the Ruler of the Uni
verse for our preservation as Nation
and our deliverance from every threat
ened danger; for the peace that has
dwelt within our boundaries; for our
defense against disease and pestilence
during the year that has passed, for
the plenteous rewards that have fol-
lowed the labors of our husbandmen:
and for all the other blessings that
have been vouchsafed 70 us.
And let us, through the mediation OF
Him who has taught Us how TO pray
implore the forgiveness of our sins and
continuation of heavenly favor.
Let Us not forget on this day of thanks
giving the poor and the needy, and by
deeds of charity let our offerings OF
praise be made more acceptable in the
sight of the Lord.
Witness my hand and seal Of the
United States which / have caused to
be hereto affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, thi,
4th day OF November, in the year o
our Lord, one thousand eight hundred
and ninety-six and of the independence

Kufffes.

phe Newest Petticoats Abound In Many
Rufies.
The latest skirts abound in ruffies.
One big ruffie often hides five or six
smaller ones, and the whole petticoat
looks as though il were made more for
skirt dancing than ordinary wear. All
the skirts are cut umbrella fashion, and
are usually tight across the hips. The
deepest ruffle is apt to meas ire Il
inches. and the others vary from this in
depth to tiny foot ruffle of two inches.
Groupings of fine tucks are much used
in the new skirts.
Besides the white skirts of nainsook
and fine cambria, there are many of
helicately colored batiste trimmed with
10th lace insertion and lace friIls, but
these colored skirts are only suitable
for home wear.
Each year the silk skirts, so dear to
the feminine heart, grow more elab-
crate. and, consequently, more expen-
Slye. But no longer must they rustic
