Farmers, Hold Your Potatoes.

AT this season of the year tieFe
/ is rush of potatoes into the mar
kets of Greeley, Eaton, Windsor ana
Kersey. AS the storing places OF the
dealers are limited and the supply is
much larger than the demand, there
is a disposition on the par OF some
growers to insist on their stock being
taken, irrespective of the fact that
there is no call for it in the eastern
nor southern markets, and no room
for it in warehouse or dugoIt. Nheh
these growers get uneasy ana rearing
that the market is weakening they
rush their stock in, thus producing
the very condition they anticipated.
OF course it is well known that some
farmers are forced to sell their
products as soon as harvested, oW'
ing to financial stress; there are
notes, mortgages and other forms o!
Indebtedness to be met and these
necessitate an immediate disposal OF
wheat. cabbage, onions and potatoes.
But all farmers are not cramped Tor
money, yet some of these more for
tunate ones are the first to contrib
ute toward lowering prices.
There is no doubt but what there
will be good demand for potatoes
during the months to come. he
rains and floods the past summer in
Minnesota, Kansas, Iowa and Illinois
so affected the potato crop that a
large proportion in those states is
rott:ng This means shortage and
it also means an increased demand
from Colorado. So thinks c. Rugh
and other dealers Now If the ma
jority OF the potato growers in the
Greeley belt will only use a little
business sense and not let their fears
run away with them, good price
can be maintained til1 March. But
in any case they should not crowd
the local markets beyond their ability
to handle the product during the next
thirty days. Put the potatoes in
dupouts and wait the call OF the
dealers. That will be the proper
time to haul them in and it will tend
to keep prices up.

Diaerences In Woods.

Timber is classed as hard or soft, and
the main point of difference between
the trees that produce these classes is
that the soft wooded tree has needle
leaves slim, narrow and almost uni
form in breadth, while the hard wood
trees have broad leaves of various
shapes. Again, some soft wood trees
carry cones, such trees being termed
conifers. Resin. too. is more character
istic of soft than of hard wood. To the
class of soft woods belong the pines.
spruces and frs, and the most common
examples of these are yellow pine.
white fir, pitch pine and spruce or red
fir. In the commoner hard woods are
oak, beech, mahogany, ash. walnut,

The Servians have long been noto-

in the punishment of political prison

Roman times, which is believed to CON

SHOT HIS SWEETHEART,
THEN KILLED HIMSELF
Mysterious Letters Are Found Which
Implicate Another Man in the
Pennsylvania Tragedy.

CAMDEN, y. J., Dec. "a mysterious
crime was committed here today when
Delaware Thompson. aged twenty-five,
of West Chester, Pa, shot and killed
Ada Hacker. aged twenty-three, of
Lititz. Pa. and Immediately afterward
committed suicide by shooting.
The double tragedy occurred in the
home of Mrs. Lewis, Thompson's sis
ter The latter's daughter was to have
held her wedding reception tonight and
Thompson and Miss Hacker called to-
gether to see the bridal gifts. They had
been sweethesrts, had quarreled and had
effected an apparent reconciliation after
meeting in Philadelphia this morning
They were alone in the room with the
presents when the shooting occurred.
Thompson fired a bullet into the girls
brain and one into his own. They we're
found lying on the floor. fully dressed,
within a few feet of each other There
were not the slightest sign Of a struggle.
They had evidently lain down with the
deliberate intention of dying together.
This theory is sire stheuei by the find
ing Of a note. evidently written by the
girl and signed by both. as follows:
I'VE wish to die together. Miss Addie
Hacker Mr.. Dell Thompson"
A paper was found on which Thomp-
son had written: Notify Wilson
Hacker, of Lititz. of Ada's death, and
tell him if he has my nerve he will
take his gun and fix that man whose
name / gave him"
Still another letter has been pro-
duced by Mrs. Lewis, VIII. says she
received il on November o. 1t was
written from the Lititz Springs Hotel
by Thompson, who said that he was
nearly wild because some one had s~--
arated Addie and himself, and that he
had blamed his sweetheart for a lie
She is just the same as my wife
he wrote. and if our trouble is not
fixed up, I'll do what l said / would
