The Potato Question.

From my experience in the rails
ing of potatoes it seems to me
there are three things To be es-
pegially considered; these are,
good ground, good seed potatoes
and good care of the land, writes
on Iowa correspondent of the
Northwestern Agriculturist,
First we will consider the
ground, PIow early in the fall,
or in August if possible, not shall
low, but middling deep. Oats
land is preferred for this reason,
and l have found it to produce
the mealiest potatoes. Wheat
corn land will give the tubers
which are glossy and hard, but
those raised Oh oats land are of
the incest quality for home and
market use Disk three times in
the spring so the land will be
loose and plant Immediately after
small grain or in the first part of
May. Planting later will give
the bugs a chance, but by putting
the seed in early the plant will be
getting tough by the time the
bugs begin their work, and they
do not care for tough leaves. In
late planting, also, the plant is
young and tender and the seed
will not be as large nor healthy.
Selection of the seed: | have
come to one conclusion, that is, use
the best seed to be bought Plant
none that is small or unhealthy.
Select your seed potatoes as you
do your corn. Use only those
that are round md smooth and
that have shallow eyes. About
the size of an egg is my favorite,
or little smaller Will do. Cut
the heads of just enough to kill
the sprouts so closely connected,
as two OF three eyes are sufficient
for a hill. Cat them about three
weeks before'plantlng them, so the
part that was cut can dry up. If
planted Immediately after being
cut, the ground will draw one

Predicts a Good Summer

81 am now past the four score
year mark and have never seen
the weather so unfavorable for
basiness ana the crops as it has
been this spring, said a close OBJ
server Of genial trade conditions
Monday mording, "It is a wonder
to me that business holds up so
we'll in the face of unfavorable con
dltion5 and it is certainly one Of
the most encouraging factors in
the situation. The outcome Of
cIops is a matter of much concern
at this time To financial men
throughout the country. Careful
study for years of crop conditions
has convinced me that nature can
do much in the way Of repairing
damage to plants and between this
and harvest much improvement
can easily take place. The loss
to the wheat crop this year may
amount to so, 600, 600 or 100, 600,
600 bushels, but that can easily
be overcome by large yields of
corn, oats and other products, |
am inclined to take an optimistic
position esarding the future
trade predict n good summer
and confidently believe that busi.
ness will be active in every de
partment Of trade"

Warmly greeted, as he always is,
by his old friend, che proprietor
of the hostery, the land lord then
naturally inquired as to the cause
of his hand being in sling and
was much surprised when the old
agricuturist explained that he
was suffering from the effects of
a fight with hawk. The two
old friends then went into back
room and while they were regal.
ing themselves the farmer told his
story;
ave been losing good many
chickens lately, Billie, ," he re-
marked to the hotel man, land by
keeping close watch | found
that one certain old pirate of Il
hawk has been having no end OF
| picnics in my barnyard. He seems
to know when there is no one on
the lookout and he swoops down
like IA stroke of lighting and is off
again in second and ! am one
little chick poorer. About week
go the old rascal made another
call. / could see him coming and
went into the house for my shot
gun, The hawk came right along
it didu't seem to me 10 be more
than second before he had a
good sized pullet in his claw and
started sky ward. He didn't go
very fast, as the pullet was quite
heavy, and / managed to get bead
on him, | winged him alright
and down he came, but he still
had the chicken in his grasp and
/ started to free 1T. The old
hawk showed fight and bit and
claWed me like an enrag ed cat.
| managed TO kill him, but he got
his work in good, and | suppose if
had not gone to the doctor right
away ! might have had lockjaw. "
The farmer warmed up to the
subject of hawks. The most dia-
bolical bird of prey in the universe,
| have seen some of them made 10
laugh on the otherside of the mouth
once in a while" he said. "You
know hen will fight for her little
chickens same as "a bulldog will
fight for her pups and l saw an old
hen not long ago tackle a hawk
and strip the tail feathers out of
him. She was good old soldier,
that hen was, but the hawk didn t
know it. But l happen to know
the hawk didn't have a chicken
dinner on that particular occasion.
"Same to you,' said the farmer,
as he once more touched glasses
with the landlord. "I'm going tt
tell you of a row ! aaw in broad
day between a fool of hawk and
an owl. Now ! call that hawk a
fool because no hawk with his

Coffin and Daggers Drawn
on Letter Received by
Louis GurdanO.

Plainclothesman James Byrne, of the
Third Precinct station, Is working to
discover the writer of two BLACK
Hand" letters received on Thursday by
Louis Gurdano, of 81 Madison street.
demanding the payment of $4OO under
pain of death if refused. The letters
are written in Italian ami are signed
with symbols instead of names.
Gurdano, who has six children, says
that he received another of these
threats about month ago, but paid
no attention to 1t. 1t contained sub
stantially the same demand as the
latest one, that he put s40O in the sink
in the basement of a certain house
near which he lives. One of the new
points in the latest letter is that the
sender swears to kill not only Gurdano
himself but all of his six children.
The letters do not bear the sign of
the Black Hand but, instead, one has
at the bottom a heart pierced with
two daggers, while on the opposite
page is sketch of a coffin inscribed
with Gurdano's initials. The other let
ter has for a signature what was prob
ably intended for skull and cross
bones. with drawings of cartridges and
q knife or two scattered around Both
were sent through the mail by special
delivery.

DRUCE TOMB OPENED,
POLICE FIND NO LEAD.
Hoboken Prisoper Swore in London
Court That the Coffin Was
Filled with Metal.

LONDON, Dec. SO.-The body Of
Thomas Charles Druce, in Highgate
Cemetery, was exhumed today Just
forty-three years TO day after Its
burial. The coffin was found to Coz
tain the remains of a human body,
thus exploding the romantic tale told
by Robert c. Caldwell, who is under
arrest at Hoboken, N. j., U. s. A, who
swore during the recent hearing of
the Druce perjury case that 1t con-
tained roll of lead.
The official statement given out by
representatives of the Home Office and
others who were officially present at
the exhumation, not only definitely dis
poses of the lead myth. but seems eff
fectively to prove that the body buried
In 1854 was actually that of t. c. Druce.
The Druce vault has thus given up it's
secret after ten years of legal pro-
ceedings which have cost a considera-
BILE fortune. A large part of this money
was obtained from servant girls and
other workers who were induced to
buy shares in a company formed to
prosecute the claims of George Hol-
lamby Druce against the estate of the
Duke of Portland.

Hunger and Fear Dreve En-
tOmbed Young Man Out
of His Mind.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Dec. S0.-After be-
ing imprisoned for three days in the
Ellsworth mine, John Omillian, 26 years
of age, a Slav miner, was released from
his underground dungeon a raving
maniac today.
Omillian went to work last Thursday
in a small room off the main entry of
the mine and ignited his blast. The
charge proved so strong that it loosened
enough earth to cause a fall which
blocked exit from the room. All his
efforts to attract attention were in
vain. A number of mine officials, while
going through the diggings to see that
everything was safe, came to the point
where Omillian was entombed.
They at Cnce saw that something was
wrong. When the debris was cleared the
officials were astonished to find a maniac
dash among them from the room, knock
ing two of the rescuers down and put m
vigorous fight before he was overpow-
ered sHe was insane from hunger and
fear.

male friends, had a narrow escape from
being killed yesterday afternoon in
Bloomfield avenue, while riding in an
automobile. The stearing gear broke
as the car reached Roseville avenue,
and before it could be stopped it ran
into a trolley pole, with such force as
to send the occupants flying out of the
vehicle in every direction, also over
turning the car and wrecking it.
At first 1t was believed that all of the
men had been seriously injured, as all
remained on the ground motionless for
several minutes
A crowd collected and assisted the
men to their feet, when it was found
that John Brown. of "a West 123d

ana George Smith, of Savannah, Ga,
was bruised about the head and body.
The other four were slightly bruised.
Smith and Brown were taken to the

AS soon as Judge Speer qualities,
which he is expected to do without

which Mr.. Speer now holds, will be

that he will name Assistant Prose

equipped for the Office. He is a sue

SISTER INTO
COURT
Count Won MOltke Admits
Kissing WOman's
Handkerchief.

BERLIN. Dec. 30.-The name of
Princess Charlotte Won Sake -Meinin-
gen, the eldest sister of Emperor Will
Jams, was brought into the Harden
Won Moltke libel case today as the
person who had supplied Maximilian
Harden with the information concern
ing the Zu Eulenburg group near the
person of the Emperor, upon which
Harden based his campaign against
the so-called camarilla.
Harden had two meetings with the
princess, seemingly at her request.
Professor Schweninger. who was pres
ent at these interviews, gave brief
account of them in deposition Cen
eral Count Wilhelm Won Hohenau was
mentioned at these meetings, but no
reference was made to Count Kuno
Won 'Moltke.
Princess Charlotte and the Emperor
have been on cool terms for several years.
The late Prince Bernard, husband of the
Princess, was long opposed TO the in
huence of Prince Philip Zu Eulenburg at
court. 1t is apparent that the princess
did not forget this feud and that she
has been instrumental in running zu Eu-
lenburg's reputation and his consequent
loss Of favor with the Emperor.
Count, kuno Won Molthe hllnselI tooiN
the stand aud declared that he had hardly
slept for two months. lie rejected the
statement that he habitually used cos
metics to beautify his appearance, but
said he was in the habit of using SMELL
ing salts. He explained the notorious
handkerchief incident by declaring that
owing to the Jealousy of his wife he re-
Trained for several weeks from visiting
zu Euienburg's house, although his office
was IN the building. After a scene with
his wife one day he picked up hand
kerr hief belong TO zu Eulenburg and
kissed it in an affectionate manner to see
whether or not this would provoke an
outbreak of jealousy from the countess.
The taking of evidef.ce then came to an
end and the case was adjourned. The
dnai pleadings will be heard tomorrow and
Judgment probably will be rendered on
Thursday.
