FORT WILLIAM, Ont, Sept. 25.-The
special train bearing the Duke and Duchess
of Cornwall and their travelling companions
westward TO British Columbia spent the
day on the north shore of Lake Superior
and by night had put Fort William and the
lake behind them and were speeding on
towards Manitoba. The days run was for
the most part through long stretches of
unsettled country, but at all the widely
separated towns and villages the people
gathered to welcome the royal party. The
railway stations were all decorated and
each little settlement had a display of flags
and bunting.
The largest crowd was gathered at
Chapleau. which was passed at daylight,
and far to the westward after night had
come the people were still gathered about
the stations as the trains swept past.
Both the duke and duchess took a lively
interest in the country through which
they passed and greatly enjoyed the wild,
rugged scenery

THE POTATO PROSPECT:
LUXURY DURING WINTER.

While the United States has never
been, like Ireland, entirely dependent
upon fair potato yield, we are heavy
potato consumers. The potato has
always been with us a favorite in the
vegetable world, partly because of its
cheapness but largely on account of
its nutrition. Previously when short
upon our crops the laboring popula-
tion especially has had the ever well
come potato to fall back upon. This
year the potato crop has been a
failure-worse than at any other
time in our history. The present
prospects are that we will have at
least a million bushels less than un-
der normal conditions There is not
a state in the union, with the possible
exception of Maryland, where q re-
spectacle crop can be so much as
hoped for. In all the localities which
have previously exported heavily the
potato crop has been ruined by the
drouth.
The present prospects are that dur
ing the coming winter the much
abused potato will become a luxury.
Instead of circulating in it's charac-
teristically democratic manner, it
seems destined to a more or less aris-
tocratic career. In New England po-
tatoes are selling at $3.50 a barrel.
In New York City the same quality of
potato usually sells for 81 per barrel
In former years when unfor unate
in our potato crop we have been able
to make up large portion of the de-
felt from the province of Canada. In
1884, when we found it necessary
to import thousands of bushels from
Canada, we were able to buy the
tubers at 80 cents per bushel even
after the payment OF the tariff duty.
Under ordinary circumstances pota-
toes sell in Canada for less than a
dollar a barrel. Today they are sell
ing at over three times that amount.
Hence we will have to look elsewhere
for our potatoes if we expect to con-
sumo many during the winter. The
prospects are that we will have to de-
pend on Europe. 1t is significant and
pleasing that among the first coun-
tries to come to our aid was Ireland,
the land of the potato. But we will
probably, as in the past, import most
heavily from Scotland.
II, as now seems inevitable, the
price of potatoes continues SO high as
not to permit of extensive consump-
ton, there are fortunately other foods
that may be substituted for one sea-
son. Within the next three weeks it
will be known more definitely what
may be depended upon.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 2S.-William
Jennings Bryan, rumor says, will
probably move his paper, the Com
moner, to Chicago and make this city
his home.
Efforts have been made without
success to trace the rumor to its
source, bat some of the leading dem
ocTats in Chicago have known of it
for some time past and are ready to
sanction the project and bid The Com
moner Godspeed. The rumor credits
Mr.. Bryan with an intention to take
political root here, and the hope of
succeeding Mayor Harrison in the
mayorality. But the Harrison men
shake heads obviously when that part
of the plan is mentioned and intimate
that Mr.. Bryan stands more hope of
the presidency than of that.
"Mr. Bryan is now in Wyoming.
His brother, business manager of The
Commoner, was interviewed in Lin
coin tonight and said he had no
knowledge of the alleged plan OF re-
moval to Chicago"
These are reproduced to show the
readers what passes for news. "
Beth items are entirely without foun-
dation. Mr.. Bryan not only has no
investments in oil lands. but has never
contemplated investing in oil lands.
His only business enterprise is The
Commoner, and he has no intention
of taking stock or interest in anything
else.
AS to leaving Nebraska, he has no
thought of such thing. He is now
preparing to build cottage upon his
farm, three miles southeast of Lin
coin, and expects to spend the re-
mainder of his days there. The read
ers of the Commoner will be kept
fully informed as to Mr.. Bryan's plans
and purposes and they need not pay
any attention to ''rumors" and ere
ports" emanating from any other
source. The Commoner will continue
to be published at Lincoln. 1t is near
the center of the union and from this
point the paper can be distributed
without inconvenience or delay to all
the states and territories.

GEORGE HUFF, the athletic director
of the University of Illinois at Cham
paign. began to get fat. much to his
CONSERVATION. In order to reduce his
flesh he tried all the regular rules. ate
pickles, resorted to meat diet, and ex-
perimented with all the anti-fats that
he could hear of, but to no use-his
adipose tissue continued to accumu-
late. Finally he fell back upon water
for II days, and at the end of that
time he had fallen from 2S0 to 220
pounds, which he says is about right.
He says that he consulted no physi-
clan, took no physic, but simply
drank all the water that he wanted,
and nothing else. Here is a cold
water cure that is worth something.
