ALI STORAGE PRODUCTS REACH
HIGH MARK ON THE LOCAL
MARKETS.
Apples, Eggs, Vegetables, cranberries
All Go skyward - Continued Gold
Weather and Scarcity of Last Sea-
sons Crop Given as the Cause.

BuIlish forces are working on the
vegetable and apple market in this
city. They are mostly due to the con-
tinued cold and the scarcity of last
seasons crop. Apples, which have
been steady at 35 to 60 cents per peck
are expected to jump, cranberries are
getting scarce and will advance in &C
cordance with the quantity on hand.
Cold storage cost is another element
in advancing the prices of apples and
vegetables. The supplies of cheaply
stored products are running low, and
the cold storage stuff must be brought
out to supply the demand.
5 Eggs Like Diamonds.
Among the commission men eggs
are more of rarity than diamonds.
They are virtually out of the market.
When any come around they bring
from 20 to IS cents, which means so
cents or more dozen in the eastern
markets. 1t has been remarkable
year for eggs. For month the deal
ers have been expecting a drop to be
brought about by the commencing of
the southern laying season, and they
have been very chary with their deal
ings, sendings eggs quickly to the east
to be in before the drop. But the pre-
cautions have been useless, for eggs
have continued scarce with low prices
only during the short warm spells.and
with prices holding most of the time
close to 80 cents.
Spanish Onions.
There is not very great demand
for the Bermuda or Spanish onions on
the local markets, although the quail
ty is considered good. One detriment
to larger sales, perhaps is the fact that
very few Of the onions grown on the
Bermuda islands ever reach this Sec
ton. The southern California grown
vegetable is the species sold in this
city.
The wholesale markets this morn
ing remain the same as those quoted
Saturday. There are a few slight
changes in the retail markets, none
however, are Of any great significance.

MEETS AWFUL DEATH.
Piece of Buzz-saw Cuts Into Mans
Brain.

Adel, Feb. 27-Joseph Jenkins,
prosperous farmer living six miles
northwest of this place, was killed here
yesterday by fragment of a buzz saw,
which struck him above the left eye,
cutting through the skull. The eye was
torn from it's socket by the force of the
blow. Mr.. jenkins never regained con-
seriousness after the accident, and died
a. few hours later.

overtaken, would stop the pair and de-
mand the money ST. Clair meanwhile
was to take charge of the reins and as
sist in getting the gold away from the
superintendent in case of fight.
Refused Ride.
The plans were awry, however, for
Mr.. Jones refused to let. the lad ride
when requested and kept on his way
without stopping When about half a
mile west of Galleyville the Roland boy
who had been hiding behind a big tree
at the side Of the road, ran UP behind
the buggy, jumped upon the rear axle
and shot the superintendent in the
back. When the horse started to run
he was forced to drop off. Immediate
ly the lads went home to the st. Clair
farm and stayed there until their ar
rest.
Roland Admits Crime.
Young Roland, when confronted with
st. Glars confession, finally admitted
that he had shot Mr.. Jones and that
the story told by the other lad was
correct. He did not, however, seem to
feel any remorse for his act and has
not at any time, apparently, realized
that 1t possibly means life imprison-
ment for him. st. Clair was yesterday
released from Jail on bonds in the sum
of ST. 800 but his accomplice is still be-
hind the bars.
Jones May Die.
It is stated this afternoon by the
doctors in attendance upon Mr.. Jones
that time alone can tell whether he
will survive his injuries. He is 81
years of age and widower with four
children. He is very popular among
the miners and all who know him.
The Roland boy is cousin of young
st. Clair and has been living at the st.
Clair farm, near the scene of the shoot
ing, for the past several weeks. He
came here from Kellerton, where he
lived with an uncle, William Scott.
His mother has been married three
times, Roy being her son by her first
husband. 1t is said that the boy, an
gered because his mother remarked,
left her home in Monmouth, ILL.,, sever
al months ago. and has since that time
been drifting from one place to an
other. He is apparently a bright boy
but the stories from the dime novels
have grounded themselves so deeply
in his mind that he could not with
stand the temptation to attempt a
daredevil act himself.
W. r. Daum, of this city, secretary
and treasurer Of the Anchor Coal Co.,
was seen by Courier representative
today. He deeply regrets the unfortu-
nate affair and spoke Of Mr.. Jones in
the highest terms. The stricken SUI
perintendent has been associated with
the coal business in Iowa for several
years and has been with the Anchor
Coal Co. for about four years. Mr..
Daum stated that the manner of the
attack precluded any possibility of
success even in case the boys had Sc
cured the money. The neighborhood
where the attack was made is near
several houses and no one could have
escaped with the money after shooting
the superintendent.

Students Talk.

The students claim that though
there were two college parties at a
dance hall this winter they have not
gone crazy over the terpsichorean art.
During the recess which comes be-
tween the literary and business meet
ings," said one of the students, re
garding the society meetings, there is
occasionally little dancing, but sell
five minutes long, and then besides,
the meeting must be over by eleven,
that usually hurrying the business con-
siderably. The writer of the editorial
evidently does not visit any of the lit
erary societies Of the college,"
There is great excitement among
the students of the college, they claim
ing that they are not being justly cen
sured, and that the reports that have
spread regarding what took place at
the two college parties are not true.

JAPAN is INDEPENDENT.
Is No Longer Afraid Of Russia on the


Toxic, Feb. 20. - An evidence Of
Japan's complete mastery of the sea,
established at the very outset of the
war, is the order issued today for the
disarming Of the auxiliary cruisers
America Maru and Yawata Maru and
their return to their owners.
The America Maru will at once re-
sumo her place on the San Francisco
line and the Yawata Maru will once
more ply between, Yokohoma and the
Australian ports.
At the beginning of the war the
government of Japan thought it nee
essary, on account of Russia's large
naval force at Port Arthur and Vlad.
ivostok. to strengthen her navy by
the addition of a number Of swift sail
ing merchantmen. which were armed
and equipped as auxiliary cruisers. 1t
was also deemed unsafe to allow mer-
chant vessels to leave port on their
regular trips SO long as they were Ii
able to capture by Russian men-of-
war.
Drive Russia From the Seas.
But all this is past. Admiral Togo's
brilliant work at Port Arthur and Adj
miral Uriu's work at Chemulpo have
driven Russia from the seas, unless
she can send her European squadron
to the east which she cannot do for
several months at least. Therefore,
there is no reason why Japan's mer-
chant vessels should not resume their
regular sailings, which will be done at
once. 1t is believed that all the aux
Hilary cruisers will be disarmed and
returned to the owners this week.
They can be impressed again at any
time if they are needed.
The Nippon Yusen Kaisha Company
is chartering fleet of British vessels
for re-establishing the Chinese coast
lines.

SHIP BURNS At SEA
THE QUEEN, A PACIFIC PAssEN
GER SHIP, HAS AN AMFuL
VOYAGE.
Caught Fire Saturday Morning, and
Was Badly Damaged by Flames
Fourteen of Those on Board Were
Drowned.

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 20. - Threaten.
ed with death by fire on shipboard,
many passengers and members of the
crew OF the steamer Queen risked their
lives in small boats in a tempestuous
sea and fourteen of them We're drown
ed. Those who preferred to face the
peril of what seemed for hours I'M
quenchable flames fought fire and
storm and survived to rescue others,
bring in the half-burned ship and tell
the story of the disaster.
With the greater part Of the upper
deck burned away and the stern almost
burned out, the Queen arrived at this
port last night and landed the surviv-
ors of one of the most narrowing voy-
ages even experienced along the north
Pacific coast.
The ship caught fire in the after
saloon at 3:45 O'clock Saturday morn
ing, while a terrific gale was raging.
1t seemed within sort time that the
entire vessel would be destroyed, and
then the captain allowed all who de-
boats, two of which were instantly
swamped, the occupants being drown
ed.

Panic Seizes the Passengers.
The Queen was bound from San
Francisco to Victoria and was off the
mouth of the Columbia river when the
flames were discovered. Instantly the
passengers were thrown into a panic
and wanted to take to the boats. Cap
tain Cousins, however said at once,
that no lifeboat could remain af1oat
in the heavy seas running. He warn
ed the passengers that an attempt to
escape from the burning steamer in
the small boats meant certain death.
AT the same time ne was directing the
efforts of his crew and the calmer
men among the passengers in fighting
the flames.
With indescribable swiftness the
fire gained Roadway and threatened
soon to envelop the whole ship. The
flames became more and more threat
ening until, when it seemed a choice of
deaths, Captain Cousins ordered the
lifeboats to be launched.
Put Women and Babies in Boats.
The boats were manned by members
of the crew and ordered to remain
close to the ship. Into the little craft
the women and children We're placed
Hardly, however, had the boats been
cast loose than, unable to weather the
fierce waves, two of them We're cap
sized.
The passengers and those of the
crew who remained on board contin-
ued their fight against, the flames,
with increasing success, until, at 7:40
a. M, the fire was brought under con-
troll When it was thought the danger
from fire was past Captain Cousins
recalled the 1ifeboats and the occu-
pants We're taken aboard.

Votes In Favor Of Converting Aban-

Des Moines, Feb. 20 - The senate

Des Moines, Feb. 20. - The senate
appropriations committee voted with
out dissent to recommend the passage
OF the bill to appropriate $125,O00 for
the remodeling of the abandoned home
for the blind at Knoxville into an inc
briate detention hospital. The bill
was introduced originally by Senator
Smith. and called for the appropriation
OF 100000. The committee voted to
increase this to $125,OOO, on the rec
ommendation of the state board of
control, which said the abandoned in
stitution at Knoxville could not be re-
modelled into proper sanitarium for
less than an eighth of million dol
lars. The appropriation carries with it
the purchase of about 200 acres of adj
ditional land and the construction of
cottage additional to the present
structure.

Say Drunkards Need No Home.

It is believed that in the house, de-
cided opposition will be developed.
Some of the prominent members of
that body associated with the appro-
priations committee also declared that
they thought it was wrong for the
state to expend $125,OOO on a nice
home for drunkards when there are
poor children in the state who need ed
ucation and other advantages. If made
in the house it will be on this basis.
Strong men have volunteered to make
the fight
The house passed the bill which had
passed the senate appropriating $780,
600 for the st. Louis exposition exhibit
by this state, making the total for

Abandon Women,s Home Idea.


Mrs. Edgeworthy's proposition, which
was abandoned when she saw that the
sentiment towards the devotion of the
Knoxville institution to a new home
for inebriates of the state, proposed
remodeling of the present building at
Knoxville at very slight expense for
the accommodation of woman's re-
formatory. She was discouraged in
this proposition by leaders in the SEN
ate, who seemed to have agreed, prac-

Senator Smiths bill which appeared
early in the session.
The board of control is extremely
anxious to get separate institution
assigned for inebriates as they are a
nuisance at the insane hospitals. The
senate has not been polled as to it's
sentiment on the bill.
