POOR PROSPECTS FOR POTATOES.
Continued Wet Weather Makes the Con-
dition of the Crop Very Bad.

|
Continued Wet Weather Makes the Con-
dition of the Crop Very Bad.
The continued wet weather has
played havoc with the potato crop in
general, and all through the potato
belt OF Minnesota not alone tributary
to Princeton, but in all sections which
usually produce an abundance of good
sound potatoes, the crop is seriously af-
fected with black rot. Thus far re-
ceipts have indicated that the crop is
injured to an extent that makes the
handling of the crop very unsafe and
uncertain proposition for dealers who
are obliged to- store them, as what
potatoes have arrived SO far have been
| in an almost unmerchantablec condition,
and dealers are dubious about the out
look. -
But while the crop is seriously in
jured, there are some favorable re-
ports and there is no use to admit
more than actual conditions will bear
out. OF course if the weather does not
clear up and dry up the potato crop
will be practically failure, for farm
ers can do nothing at all toward secur-
ing what good potatoes there may be
left. Should there be few weeks of
reasonably good weather before it
freezes up, there may be some salvage,
and what potatoes there are that can
be disposed of later will sell at good
price.
The starch factories will have all
they can do this fallsand winter. The
Princeton factory will start up next
Monday. 1t cannot. be definitely de-
termined to what extent the rot will
affect the starchy qualities of the
potato, but the factories will grind up
the~refuse and unstable potatoes at
price that will be much better than
throwing them away,

When Frank Goiino. assistant at the
pestoftice opened the store this morning
he discovered that something had happen
ed and Investigations proved that the
small safe had been blown open.
Word was sent to Postmaster Scott and
10 Chief Of Police Kimball and the work
Of getting track of the robbers was began.
II was found that . large light OF glass
sn the rear OF the store had been cut out
Sith a glass cutter. and from a small
shelf near the window a number of bot
ties containing medicines had been re-
moved and hidden under the steps leading
90 the Church of the Nativity nearby.
II was also found that the robbers had
stolen Q crowbar from the stable of Ben
tsmin Dalton and heavy monkey
wrench from the Fitch Manufacturing
company. The rear door showed marks as
II made by a jimmy or chisel.
The robbers took heavy horse blanket
from Mr.. Dalton's stable and this with
two overcoats and other garments which
Vsre found In the rear OF the store were
soaked with water and wrapped about the
safe. so as to deaden the sound OF the ex-
plosion.
A charge Of dynamite was used TO do
the trick.
That no one heard the explosion seems
strange for Mr.. Dalton and his family,
Mr.. Kennedy and family reside near the
store. and the only reason they give for
not hearing the noise IL that a window
blind or screen door had been samming
