THE POTATO PROSPECT:
LUXURY DURING WINTER

While the United States has never
been, like Ireland, entirely dependent
upon a fair potato yield, we are heavy
always been with US a favorite in the
vegetable world, partly because of lite
cheapness but largely on account of
its nutrition. Previously when short
upon our crops the laboring popula-
ton 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 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
dronth.
The present prospects are that dur
ing the coming winter the much
abused potato will become a luxury.
Instead of circulating ia 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 wears when unfortunate
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
tnbers at 80 cents per bushel even
after the payment of the tariff duty.
Under ordinary circumstances pota-
toes sell in Canada for less than g
dollar 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.
If, as now seems inevitable, the
price OF potatoes continues so high as
not to permit of extensive c0nsump
ton, there are fortunately otner foods
that may be substituted for one sea
sen. Within the next three weeks il
will be known more definitely what
May be depended upon.

THE ARGUS by distancing all its
contemporaries in the three cities in
the publication and dissemination of
the shocking news of the attempted
assassination of President Mckinley
yesterday again demonstrated its SUI
Perior facilities for reaching the pub
lie promptly and reliably with the an
nouncement and story of notable cur
rent events. Twenty minutes from
the time the first intelligence came of
the shooting of the president spec
lal edition of the paper was on the
street. the first hundred of which were
tossed in the multitude that had been
anxiously scanning the bulletins
posted in front of the papers temper
airy offices in the Postal Telegraph
Office. The bulletins which were i'm
mediately posted here and also on
the ARGUS baseball bulletin boards at
various places about town were ina
mediately surrounded by eager
throngs.
The first edition of the paper, Civ
ing all the details obtainable through
the Associated Press, appeared %
minutes in advance of any other pub
LEGATION in the three cities, and was
quickly disposed of by boys who sped
over the three cities. To the passen-
gers on the incoming trains-the first

Limited from the east-THE ARGUS
bore the first announcement of the
terrible tragedy. and copies of the
paper were in great demand.

COUSIN OF PRESIDENT
RECEIVES NEWS FROM HIM.

While the public pulse in Rock ISL
and, as elsewhere throughout the ma
ton, is at high ebb over the news
from the bedside of the wounded pres
ideRt, naturally more anxiety is felt
among those bound to him by ties of
relationship. Two of his cousins re-
side in Rock Island county, they
being, as known, Milt r. Mckinley,
superintendent of the Rock Island
Iron works here, and Postmaster
George Mckinley, of Moline. They
have been in constant touch by wire
with the presidents secretary,
through whom all official informa-
ton pertaining to his condition
passes. The latest bulletin that has
come to Milt r. Mckinley is as fol-

ARGUS ACHIEVEMENTS
ON A NOTABLE OCCASION.

Half an hour after the first edition
had gone out, the regular issue of the
paper made its appearance, giving
more of the details OF the shocking
deed, the name of the assassin. the
nature of the wounds, etc.
The achievements of the day proved,
as did the Spanish-American war news
of three years ago which THE ARGUS
had exclusive advantage of giving to
the public in the cities of Rock Island
and Moline, the uneq ualed facilities
that the paper possesses, first, in being
the only paper, published or circulat-
ing on this side of the river, that pos
sesses the Associated Press report, and
secondly, the advantages of it's per-
fecting press, printing direct from the
forms, and avoiding the delay of
sterotyping in getting the paper of
without DELAY when ready.
Last evening the bulletin service
was continued at the temporary quar-
tiers in the Postal Telegraph Office and
was viewed by hundreds of people as
has been the service of this nature con-
tnued today. While special editions
have come DUB at intervals THE ARGUS
regrets bsing handicapped by the fact
that 1t is Just now out of It's home in
consequence of the improvements in
