Better Prices for Potatoes.

Denver, May A Republican spe-
cial from Greeley last night says: Po-
tatoes commanded the highest price
since January to-day. They were
quoted at 25 cents for pearls and 80
cents for rurals. The advance was due
to a greater demand in Kansas, Okla
homa, California and Washington.
Thirty carloads are leaving the Gree
ley district daily.
1t is estimated that 1000 carloads of
first-class potatoes are still in the Gree
ley district, and that there will be no
trouble in placing these on the market
within few weeks. The inferior po-
tatoes have been used in feeding stock
and for making starch at the factory
here, which is using COO sacks day.

JURY HAS DISAGREED
NAN PATTERSON NOT CONVICTED
Majority of the Jury Said to Be in
Favor of AcquittaI-case May Not
Be Tried Again.


New York, May 4.-Having failed
to reach a verdict and declaring that
they were hopelessly disagreed. the
jury in the Nan Patterson case was
formally discharged at 2:20 O'Clock
this morning.
Although the result of the balloting
of the jury was not revealed, it is said
that the majority favored acquittal.
The woman may not be tried again.
In his charge to the jury Recorder
Goff said:
This case has nothing extraordl
nary in it. So far as the testimony
goes, two persons most spoken of dur
ing the entire proceedings, the de-
ceased, a man by the name Of Young,
a race track man, had this defendant
to live with him as his mistress. The
mans death, because of the personal
ity OF this man Young. had nothing IN
1t to excite your passions or your pre-
judices. He was a mere gambler,
race track follower. Therefore, you
should be able to consider the facts
calmly without prejudice and passion.
IF the accused fails to take advan-
tage of her privilege to make de-
fense. under the advice of her coun-
sci, her failure to do SO must in no
way be held against her.
"Of course, gentlemen, you must not
think that, because of the humble po-
sition of this woman, you should not
give her the same consideration as If
she occupied a more exalted position
in society. Whatever her position, she
is entitled to the same legal rights
as the most prominent and most con-
spicuous.
''If there be reasonable doubt in
this case on the evidence. this doubt
must be thrown into the balance for
the defendant. A danger lies in the
remarks of counsel which might take
your mind off the direct issue. You
must avoid this dangen'

How n Woman Was Freed from Troubles
That Had Made Life Wretched for
Many Years.
The immediate causes of headaches
vary, but most of them come from pooI
or poisoned blood. In anemia the blood
is scanty or thin the nerves are imper-
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
the nerves and produces pain. In rheu-
matism, malaria and the grip, the poison
in the blood produces like discomfort. In
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood in the same way.

the pain but do not drive the poison out

New York's Water Supply.

That the population of New York
City will have reached 6.70O, 900 twenty
years hence, and that the city will be
driven to draw water supply from
Lake Erie. or the Adirondack region,
is the opinion OF the joint committee
on city affairs and forests OF the New
York Board OF Trade and Transporta-
tion. which has been investigating and
made its report to the full board.
The committee found that in 1925
the water power of the Cstskill region
