In view of the fact that many
Of our farmers are casting
about looking for something to
at least take the place of the
"all wheat" program, we pub
lish the following az showing
how a Minnesota neighbor has
solved the problem, in part at
least. We also offer as q sug-
sgestion that if our Commercial
Club is really desirous of do
ing something for the upbuild-
ing of the comm unity that they.
might render valuable assist
ance in securing something of
the kind for Wahpeton and thus
ahan solving the problem now
cdStronts the farmer.
ae Gedney Picking Co.,
vi ts $50 acres of cucumber
pickles at Isanti next GUNNER,
and NJ. l.. Nelson is now ready
to make contracts with farmers
for the crop. The price for
small cucumbers will remain
the same az this year, but the
larger size will cell for 40 centa
per hundred pounds, instead of
2S cents that has heretofore
been paid. The capacity of the
picking station will be greatly
increased next summer, it hav.
ing been found too email last
season, when a light crop was
secured in comparison with
what is hoped for in 1907.
c. B. Gedney says: "In addi-
ton to the cucumbers we think
your farmers should begin to
raise some other vegetables for
u.s.. Horse radish is worth $40
per ton and can be raised as
easily as potatoes. Four or FIVE
tons per acre is common
yield, Seed roots cost So per
1000 for the common and about
So per 1000 for the imported
Maliner-Kren stock from
Bohemia. Picking onions are
worth $1.5O per 100 pounds, and
yield 400 to 600 bushels to the
acre. Thirty pounds of seed at
81 per pound plants an acre.
Dill is also a good crop, re-
quires very little work and
yields two to four tons per acre
at SIS per ton. Four pounds of
, seed at 81 cents per pound
plants an acre. Cauliflower is
a good thing to raise. The
plants must be grown in hot
bed in order toget early plants.
Four ounces of seed at 81 per
ounce should give plants
enough for an acre and the
usual crop is five to eight tons,
for which we pay $50 per ton"
I'M: Gedney requests all
farmers who are interested in
any of these crops to notify NJ.
L. Nelson. Mr.. Gedney will
come to Isanti at some date to
be decided upon and explain
the method of culture of these
crops.-Isanti News.

the department turned out on

the fire was reported. The
men working there got the
blaze extinguished before the
department arrived. The fire
was in the wall of the north
side of the creamery, and was
caused by an attempt to bore a
hole through the we'll with a
red-hot iron bar, in default of
an auger. The heated iron set
the building paper, inside the
ceiling on fire, making quite a
blaze between the out and in

showed that the kick he'd
broken a piece of bone off the

worked down his leg between
the muscles, causing great pain
and necessitating the opening
of the leg and the removal of
the fragment of bone.

BOY SAYS He
WAS SERVED.
Declares That SaIOOnkeeper
Asked Him What He Would
Have and Gave 1t To Him.

Emil Fitzke, the saloonkeeper who
was fined $40 Monday, was confront
ed last night in police court, at his
own request, with the boy TO whom he
was alleged to have given liquor Sun
day night, February 25,-Fitzke had
maintained that he set the bottle of
whiskey before the man who was
with the boy and that the boy took 1t
without his knowledge.
The boy last night declared under
oath that he was given both whiskey
and wine by Fitzke and that Fitzke
first asked him what he would have
and then set two glasses on the bar,
one in front of the man and one in
front of him. FitZke denied the boys
statements, but the recorder refused
to remit the $40 fine for serving in
toxicants to a minor. The other $40
fine was for serving liquor on the
Sabbath. The boy lost his position
at a local factory because he was un-
able to go to work on the morning
following.

BURGLARS MAKE BIC HAUL At
THE RESIDENCE OF F. j. COX.
Robbery Committed While Occupants Were Away Early in the
Evening gWee Frightened Off Before First Floor Had Been
SeaChed-P0IiCe Are Working on The Case.

When Mr.. and Mrs. Fred J. Cox re-
turned 10 their home at 8 Rector
street at ten minutes before O'Clock
last night, after being out two hours.
they found that the house had been
entered. An investigation revealed
the fact that jewelry valued at $500,
silverware to the value of $75, and
cash amounting to $40 had been car
ried away.
The first thing which they saw
amiss when they opened the door on
their return was spoon lying on the
floor. A strange sound was also no
ticed. An examination showed sew
eral of the rooms to be in partial dis
order.
1t appeared as though the burglars
had probably been surprised while at
work by the arrival of Mr.. and Mrs.
Cox and had fed hurriedly. Mr.. Cox
telephoned police headquarters at 8
o'clock.
Entrance had been gained through
a window on the south side of the
house, which had been pried open
with some sharp instrument. Patrol
man Andrew Jensen went to the
house.
Jensen had been in that immediate
vicinity almost continuously from
SIS O'Clock until he passed Mr.. and
Mrs. Cox at Woodruff place on their
way home few minutes before 8

SMALL RIO 7.
Necessary to Send for Police
Before Show in High School
Began Last Night.

So great was the number of child
ren who clamored for admission to
the high school last night to witness
the geographical moving picture
show, given by the Twentieth Cen
tury Educational Entertainment
Company, that the doors had TO be
closed some time before the begin
ming of the show. Children of all
ages to the number of two or three
hundred pressed toward the doors,
and it was necessary to send for q
policeman to keep order. He had all
he could dc to straighten matters out
and persuade the youngsters that
no more could be admitted. Most OF
them returned to their homes.
The results of the exhibition were
satisfactory from only the one stand
point, the sale of tickets. The mana
ger left the school, however, at the
start of the show and has not been
seen since. He did not take any of
the money, which is a puzzle.
More tickets had been sold than
there are seats or standing space in
the high school auditorium and the
overflow was to have been accommo-
dated tonight.
The manager was to have lectured
as the pictures We're shown, but he
was not there to do so. The man in
charge of the picture machine was
not familiar with the apparatus and
that could not be manipulated prop
erly. The children who were inside
strained and pressed to see the pic
lures which were shown and the
desks, seats and floors received some
rough consideration at the hands
(and feet) of the youngsters.

HOOKS" HAD
LIVELY TIME.
Opposition to Nearly All the Of

Protection Hook & Ladder Com
pany had a warm time at the meeting
last night when the election of officers

For president. Frank Comings. He

ceived sixteen votes and Flynn twelve
votes. For vice president, B. Frank
Henry received twenty-three votes
and won over James McCabe. who
received only five votes. William
McKinzie was elected foreman with
out opposition. When the time came
for voting for first assistant foreman,
the members were greatly surprised
by dark horse in the person of Ed
ward Dilts, who opposed Dennis Ry-
an, who, until the last hour, was the
only candidate for that position. Dilts
won. He received fourteen votes,
while Ryan received only ten votes.
Robert J. Cotton was elected as sec
ond assistant foreman. He received
fifteen votes and defeated John H.
Martin, who received only twelve
votes. James P. Dunham was re-

EAGLES BALL
A BIG SUCCESS
Dancing Continued Until Early
This Morning Supper Was
Served at Midnight.

Although it was their first ball,
the members of Eagle Hose Company
made a record for themselves at the
affair held in Washington Hall, in
Fayette street, last night.
Dancing started at o'clock. The
floor had been waXed and put in first
class condition and every one had
a jolly good time. The music was
furnished by Prof. Steinhauser's or
chestra. At IL o'clock announce
ment was made that supper would be
served in the dining room upstairs.
After supper. dancing was resumed
and the reception lasted until this
morning. The committee in charge
was as follows: James Johnson,
chairman; Andrew Weirup. Charles
Johnson, Peter Kroeger and Thomas
Jensen. The floor manager was
Andrew Weirup. He was assisted
by John Johnson.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-03-07

I were out. Jensen had stood on the
corner of Lewis and Rector streets, a
few feet from the Cox residence, from
S:15 to S:25 O'Clock, and proceeding
up Rector street, met young Jew
ish woman who asked him to escort
her to a house which is a few doors
from the Cox residence, which he did.
Even then the burglars were probably
at work, for, when Jensen started up
Rector street again, he passed Mr.
and Mrs. Cox at Woodruff place on
their way home. About ten minutes
later a telephone message was re-
ceived at police headquarters report
ing the burglary.
The burglars carried away with
them a raincoat, which was the only
article stolen from the first floor
in the raincoat the silverware from
the dining room, as a drawer con-
tanning silverware was found open. 1t
is presumed that the intruders were
at this drawer when Mr.. and Mrs.
COX arrived home, earlier probably
than the thieves had anticipated.
Hearing the sounds at the front
door the burglars gathered together
what had already been accumulated
from the second floor and fed
through the back door, leaving it
open. In their hurry they dropped
the spoon found by Mr.. and Mrs. Cox.
The marks OF the sharp instrument
are plainly to be seen on the window
through which the thieves gained en-
trance. 1nere is no house adjoining
it on the south, which rendered the
thieves less likely of detection.

PRIEST GOING

A Transfer Of Greek Catholic
Pastors May Settle the Pres

Rev Father Alexis Novak may be
succeeded as rector of the Greek

least temporarily, and Father NoVak

ent parish in PassaiC Father HON.
iczko was here yesterday.
The above statements were made
to a NEWS reporter this morning by
one of the leading men in the con-
gregatiou. who was asked about the
cause and probable result OF the
trouble at the church last Sunday
when the paTishoners protested
against Father NOyak's being per-
mitted to say mass.
Father Noyak was out of town
Monday and yesterday but returned
late yesterday. He left again early
this morning, however, for Trenton,
where he is said to be conducting d
funeral today in place OF the priest
OF the parish, who is i'll.
The man interviewed said that nc
accusations have been made against
te, her Novak, but that he wanted
an increase in salary and the people
did not feel in a position to grant
it. He said that Father Noyak is
an excellent pastor and has done fine
work here in perfecting and enlarg-
ing the congregation. He has been
here three years and a handsome
new church has been built The

WANT TO TURN
ALL CARS HERE
Trolley Company to Ask Alder
men for Permission to Build
Y in Smith Str 4.

At the next meetU If the Board
of Aldermen it Isl Jbable that a
petition will be received from the
Public Service Corporation asking for
permission to construct ''Y" at the
foot of Smith street, and another in
Smith street at the car barns. This
petition. it is understood, was TO have
been presented at the last meeting of
the board, but was delayed. If the
request is granted a number OF
changes will be made to the entire
local trolley system.
10 construct "Y" means to build
a double section OF track, the same as
at Smith and State streets, so that a
trolley car can be turned around. The
Public Service Corporation has decd
ed if possible, to do away with all the
present trolley cars in this city and
to put on only eight wheel cars, with
4 motor at one end, that will have TO
be turned at the end of each trip.
In conversation with a NEWS re-
porter man who should know sail:
IF the city council grants permission
to the Public Service Corporation 20
construct the "Y's" a number OF big
improvements will be made. The
present wires will be taken down,
new ones much heavier will be put
UP. big eight wheel cars, with only
one motor on will be run through ;he
city. The present old cars and es-
Declally the summer cars will be done
away with, and good service all the
way through will he the result.
It is almost certain that no summer
cars will be run on this section of the
trolley line this summer if the aIIer-
men grant the permit 10 construct lie
''Y's" as most of the trolley officials
are against the running of light. open
summer cars in what they term the
country. They give as reasons, that
in case of a storm, and the caIs are
out in the country, the people begin
10 stand up on the seats. Sometimes
accidents occur and the passengers
are hurt and they often get money
from the company.
