Chic ag0 Short Of Potatoes.

Chicago, May 2S.-As a result OF
the unusually small crop o'potasoes
in the Southern states this year local
commission men fear a potatoiamine
ia a week or two. Nearly all Of the
supply is exhausted and practically
no shipments OF early new potatoes
are being received.
The condition In the potato mar
ket is explained by the statement
that nearly all OF the planters ars
raising cotton instead of potatoes
because OF the good price OF cotton
this year.
The small supply of old potatoes
practically is "cornered" by few
dealers. Because OF this condition
the carload price is soaring and was
quoted yesterday at from eighty
three cents TO ninety cents bushel,
New potatoes bring as much asSl, 40
a bushel by the csrlot.

CHICAGO,

Millard Cross, an employee OF the

but very seriously shot about 6
o'clock. A loaded rifle attached TO a

The bullet entered Mr.. Cross face an

trated the skull, ranging upward.
He was not rendered unconscious by
his wound at the time and went to
Drs. Delamater and Allen for treat.

located and removed. Mr.. Cross
bled proiusely, and It is difficult to
foretell what complications may
arise as result OF his wound, though
the physicians think there is good
chance for his recovery.
The injured man Is about 36 years
old and g man OF family, but his wife
was absent from home at the time OF

The Pity Of It.

1t seems q pity that ignominy
should be brought upon 1900 stu.
dents OF the University OF Missouri,
representing the best homes OF the
State by the doings OF forty or fifty
students, but this is exactly what
has been done in the case OF the con.
flict attending the exhibition of Cole
Brothers Show In Columbia. Accord
ing to the best evidence obtainable
not over fifty students were engaged
In the unlawful acts that have
brought discredit upon the 1850 la W
abiding ones. Most Of those who at
tended the circus left for home as
soon as the performance was over
and the few remaining were fired to
-unlawiulacts by an attack oinegroes
and hired thugs who used tent stakes
indiscrlminately upon student 8
wherever found, regardless OF what
they we're doing. An investigation
is being made to discover those guilty
and they will be dismissed from the
University. In the meantime the
public should withhold It's judgment,
and remember also that no place on
earth can 1000 persons be brought
together without gathering in few
who are eager and willing to break
the law under the cover OF numbers.
The writer Of this article is q Senior
in the Law Department OF the Univ
ersity but he holds no brief for the
lawless. They should and will be
punished. Neither has he an ak to
grind. After the first Of June he will
go out from the University to be-
come q citizen Of the State. These
facts alone prompt his protest
against the unwarranted attack up
on the fair name OF 1850 law abiding
students Of the Missouri State Univ
ersity.

Remarkable water Lifting Device.


T.. Morgan Nisbet, of Boise, and
William l.. Hubbel, of Twin Falls,
have beer granted caveat from the
government through J. w. Smith,
architect for the "Universal Syphon
Nrrlgator."
Tue device is the most simple thing
imaginable. being nothing more than
an ordinary syphon. While the sy-
phon itself has been in use for CEN
turtles, the application OF 1t as an ir-
rigatcr for farming purposes, has
never been patented.
Mr.. Hubbell, who has rented Mr..
Nishit's ranch at Twin Falls, has used
it all summer with great success. He
has irrigated 40 acres in exactly one
hours time, and says that he can
'irrigate 400 acres with the syphon de-
vice i'm less time than he can irrigate
10 acres In the old way, without 1t.
One Of the greatest features of the
device is that with its use there Is
absolutely no waste Of water as every
drop Is absorbed by the water being
applied where II is needed. and its
gentle flow washes no deep furrows
in the land. Another is the fact that
the head ditch is not cut anywhere
for headgates. This alone means a
tremendous saving of time and ex-
Dense to the farmer, besides the fact
that the farmer irrigates his field III
less than one-tenth the time that II
now takes him, meaning a great saw

Murder Near Granger.

A horrible murder is reported from
a point near Granger east of this city.
A young man who had been working
In Montpelier during the summer
had saved up his earnings until he had
something like 500. when another
fellow induced him to quit his job
and go east with him. They started
on stock train. 'Several days later
the body of the young fellow was
found near the track at the point
above named. A deep cash was found
extending from the neck down into
the chest. The wound was made by
knife and evidently the boy was
killed instantly by II. The pockets
were rifled. and a gold watch he had
was taken also. The boys name was
Charles Woods and the fellow who
accompanied him went by the name
OF George Turner. while in this city.
His real name is believed to be H. F.
Roddy Of Gladstone. Ore. The Off
GERS of two states are looking for Rod
dy, as they believe he is in some way
responsible for the boys death.

Plumbers Want Uniform Wages.

A meeting OF the wage committee
of the Plumbers union met Saturday
night and discussed the question Of
adjudicating the wage scale in this
city and making 1t uniform through
out. The committee has not yet ar
rived at a definite decision, but 1t is
probable the wage scale will be raised.
Plumbers have been receiving from
$3.50 to $3.50 per day. 1t is proposed
to make the wages $3.50 per day for
all journeymen. This would be about
81 less than the wages in the large
