Prince Baldwin Paid Penalty.

In Brussels, in the Avenue Louise,
foreign visitors are still shown a de-
serted house, where Prince Baldwin of
Belgium, favorite nephew of King Leo
pold, and heir apparent to the throne,
was killed by an indignant husband
of princely but not royal rank In
this instance, however, the tragedy
was followed by a separation of the
noble couple involved. Baldwin of
Belgium, in spite of his popularity,

OF all the popular phrases of the
English language there is none that
is more misuSed and misunderstood
than that of "unwritten law" And
just at the present time it is on every
body's lips in connection with the
trial for murder of Harry K Thaw.
To judge from popular comment,
one would imagine that its jurisdic-
ton was restricted exclusively to one
or at the most two particular classes
of homicide. But it covers a far
larger ground and affects almost
every phase of our life.
Among the several stories current
concerning the mysterious tragedy of
Meyerling, which robbed the veneer
able emperor of Austria of his only
son, the most generally accepted
version is that he was slain by the
uncles of Baroness Marie Vetsera or
else that he was subjected by them
to such bodily injuries that he blew
his brains out, the men having learned
of the princes intention to cut adrift
from the girl, in compliance with his
pledge to his parents, instead of
marrying her after securing a di-
vorce from Crown Princess Stephanie.

THE ARTMAN DECISION.

generation or two ago and always in

pie the laws of our country under foot,
directly contrary to the expressed
wishes of the majority in the county
and especially the town Of Grandy.
Stirring addresses were also made by
other speakers.
The 10th of May, the fateful day
on which the momentous question
was to be decided by the county COM
missioners, dawned bright and clear
and hundreds of temperance people
began to arrive in Cambridge very
early in order to be present at the
commissioners meeting. BY IL
o'clock the streets fairly swarmed
with people. The courthouse hall
and the auditors office were soon
crowded. The commissioners were
punctually on hand, got ready for
business in short order and immedi-
ately took up the license question. A
great hush fell upon the assembly.
Nearly all were ignorant Of what the
commissioners proposed to do but all
hoped for the best. One OF the board
promptly made a motion to reject the
petition because of the overwhelming
sentiment among the people OF the
county against the granting OF such
a license, the motion was seconded
without delay, the vote was taken and
carried unanimously. Oh, what a re-
lief! The decision was greeted with
deafening applause from the assem-
bled multitude and the commissioners
were promptly thanked for the stand
they had taken by the representatives
of the different villages, societies and
temperance organizations. The petl.
lions circulated in the vicinity OF
Grandy were found to contain nearly
a thousand signers.
The Isanti County Law enforcement
and Temperance League had arranged
a free lunch for the Cambridge Wis
itors which was served in the Baptist
Church chapel This was greatly ap-
preciated by the large numbers who
refreshed themselves. The whole
day was enjoyed as special hoIday
and picnic by the crowds Of people
and expressions of joy and thankful
ness over the happy outcome were
heard on every side.
Now what will the saloon element
try next? That they feel revengeful
is certain. Concerted action by the
temperance people shows, though
that victory can be won In the future
as we'll as in the past Isanti County
has been quite careful to elect as
county officers men Of good character
with pronounced views on the saloor
question. Cambridge and Braham hav
ing voted against license in the spring
Isanti is now the only place In tn
county where the saloon is tolerated
The victory before the county com
missioners was the GROWING achieve
ment and the best citizens are de
termined to make 1t permanent.

Albert Lea, speaks in high terms of
Mr.. Lobeck's magnificent forensic
ability and logical force.
Mr.. Briggs says that Mr.. Lobeck's
visit to the county has won many to
deeper interest in our movement to
secure Prohibition legislators. He
raised enough, after paying expenses,
to leave $40 in cash and pledges with
the county committee. Comparing
him with our other legislators in the
last House, Secretary Briggs says:
! "Of the three Prohibitionists in the last
legislature he is the spokesman. And, by
the way. no better three men hardly
sents, by a clean life and clearcut action,
different essential qualifications for their
work of progress. Higgins is the bust
ness man and expert presiding officer, a
shrewd judge Of men and measures Noble
is the. quiet unassuming farmer who Is
careful in judgment, kindly and genial
thoroughly despising sham and political
trickery. Lobeck is the peer Of any man
on the floor of the House to convince
men of the Righteousness of his cause. and
he has the tremendous advantage Of the
great moral issue which stirs the depths
of his soul and thus strikes fire in the
souls of right-minded men and terror tc
the hearts of evil doers."

TASTE IN POTATOES.
Europe Demands Tubers Which Diff
fer From Our Standard.

Europe Demands IubeTs winch DiT-
fer From Our Standard.
It is surprising to learn from so
authoritative a source as the Cornell
Agricultural College Bulletin that the
quality Of potatoes, as measured by
European standards, is entirely differ
ent from the American estimate.
In the United States a tuber Of
starchy favor, white and foury in
color, and above all. mealy when
cooked, represents the epicure's esti-
mate of perfection. In France, on the
other hand, a potato retaining it's
original form, yellowish in color, and,
almost unbelievable, soggy after boil
ing, is desired.
In this country different sections
have their preferences. In the North
light yellow or whitish-skinned tubers
are often preferred, while in the South
pink skin is liked best Generally
a more or less netted skin, with a
corklike appearance or touch. is pre-
ferred to a smooth, clear skin.
Of course, tubers with deep eyes
and irregular form are avoided, while
those of oval, f1at-round and elongated
oval shape are considered desirable.
Experimental work has been under
way for several years looking to a de-
termination Of the causes for the
presence or lack Of good cooking
quality in tubers. and enough work
has been done to show that the depth
and time of planting and the charac-
ter and drainage of the ground have
much to do with quality, which is
naturally dependent in a great de-
gree upon variety.
Nevertheless, any variety of potato,
planted in ground with good drainage,
will yield a very different tuber from
table estimate from that produced
by planting identical seed in poorly
drained soil.
The Lee County journal. (Leesburg, Ga.) 1904-19??, 1907-05-03

other four lay exposed on the terrace.
The castaways must have reached this
portion of the berg by climbing up
from the southeast side, which sloped
gently upwards from the water.
About fifteen miles to the southwark
of this berg a boat was observed lying
on half-submerged cake of ice about
half an acre in area. The vessel passed
within fifty yards of it, but no name,
could be read, for something had ap-
parently fallen on the boat from above
and crushed it; it lay burst open length
wise, so that only the inside of the
sheathing was visible. 1t seems very
probable that the bodies noticed on
the berg may have been some Of the
crew of the missing sailing ship prev
iously referred to, and the boat may
have belonged to it likewise In these
far-off perilous seas there is little hope
that survivors of a disaster would have
a chance of rescue, or that any ex-
PLANTATION Of the mystery will ever be
forthcoming.
But to return to the mysterious Au-
roTas. In addition to his personal ex-
perience Captain Hatfield mentions
further confederation of the existence
of the group. Several years after the
voyage described he was in New York,
and in a shipbroker's Office in South
Street met with a New Bedford whaler
who was a Sound" pilot at that time
a man Of great experience in the
Southern seas, who went by the name
of Ned"
In conversation with this mariner
Captain Hatfield made reference to the
question of the existence of the Au-
roras. Captain Ned" at once said he
was absolutely certain of their exist
ence and identity, for he had actually
landed On them several times; he knew
a water-place on the southeast end of
the nOrthern-most island, and good
anchorage on the same side, just
through the passage between them. He
had often sailed right round both these
islands, he said, and frequently used
to take shelter in the strait between
them, He also mentioned the great
kelp-bed at the northwest extremity
of the northern island, and said that
the foliage noticed on the top Of the
latter was stunted growth Of some
shrub. For many years he had sailed
in those ATTITUDES as a fur-sealer and
whaler, and it was in the course OF
these voyages that he visited the Au-
roras.
In face Of the testimony of the many
old-time navigators, somewhat con-
ficting though it is, and the evidence
of these two modern seamen, what is
one to think? Do the Aurora Islands
actually exist, in spite of Weddell's re-
port, or are they but figments Of the
sailors imagination, born, perchance,
of long and anxious vigils in the tre2ch-
erous, berg bestudded waters Of the
lonely Southern Ocean ?-The Wide
