The Packers Potato Story.

Chicago.-Patotoes have continued
to rule at high prices this week, al
though receipts have been in excess
of the stock reported here last week
and even heavier than the correspond
ing week year ago.
Orders have been coming here from
every direction and it has been a
plain case that the country had awak-
ened to the real situation and had de-
cided to buy before prices we're higher.
A local carlot dealer reports orders
from coast to coast this week. In
quirles have been coming from every
direction and the local market has
not been a criterion for the ruling
sales that were being made. Many
small points we're buying and some
brokers over the country who had
booked orders on the expectation of
getting them filed were surprised that
they were left stranded high and dry
and the market was working faster
than they we're. 1t has been an expe-
rience that has hardly been witnessed
before by those who have grown old
in the business.
Potatoes have been sold here that
have gone in transit to Alaska and
some others that were sold by Chicago
people have gone for ex port to the
Philippine islands. California is still
buying but the demand from the coast
is reported lighter, owing to heavy
shipments there for some time past.
1t can hardly be charged that the
advance in the market has been due
to any but actual conditions. In no
sense can it be classed as specula-
tive deal. Prices have adjusted them
selves. The cold weather has been a
prime factor, for it was not only the
injury to the new crop but the effect
on the market resulting from winter
weather that has been of pronounced
character. 1t seems that the cold
weather has seriously injured the new
potato crop and this fact has become
apparent to the dealers who were
holding back expecting that new pota-
toes would be coming soon. It was
simply a case where they had to have

A SPECIAL MEETING
Village Council Convenes and Passes
Upon Such r1atters as Come
Up For Consideration.

Extension of Water Main Prln-
clpal Matters Taken Up.

a special meeting of the village
council was held on Friday night and
license to sell Intoxicating liquor was
granted to Sjoblom & Olson and
Clarence E. Hill. 49,.
Henry Newbert of the Park house
appeared before the council and en-
tered protest that he had been over
charged for electric lighting during
the months of February and March.
1t having been proven to the satisfac-
ton of the council that Mr.. Newbert' IS
light billwas excessive, upon motion
it was agreed to reduce the same from
$46 to $25.
Attorney Dickey presented a petit
ton praying that a water main be
laid from the corner of Mrs. G.. 81.
Rines' property to the corner of the
Craig mill and that hydrants be in
stalled near the latter point and
at the Wikeen corner for use in
case of fire. Upon motion it was
ordered that the village electrician
make an estimate of the cost of such
water main and that upon the receipt
OF his report bids be advertised for in
the Union.
A motion prevailed which called for
the solicitation of bids for the con.
struction of five catch basins to carry
off the surplus water from the streets,
said basins to be located as follows:
At the northwest corner of the school
house, northeast corner of Mrs.
B. M. Van Alstein's residence, south
west corner of E. B. Anderson's
residence, corner of Henry Newbert's
saloon building on First street and
corner of Mrs. J. N. Berg's property
on First street.
Permission was given to the propri-
etor of the Princeton hotel to lay at
grade the cement sidewalk which he
will put down alongside of his prop
erty. - ~.
The ACCESSIBILITY of constructing a
crosswalk at the Princeton hotel was
discussed and the matter left in the
hands of the committee on streets and
sidewalks to proceed as it may deem
fit.
The street and sidewalk committee
recommended that the piece of board
walk belonging to the VILLAGE IN the
north side of the West Branch bridge
be removed and replaced with new.
The committee was authorized to
make the Improvement.

GOTTWERTH GOES FISHING.
Falls From Boat, Straddles Log an
Takes Spin in q Whirlpool

Tails FROM Boat, Straddles q Log and
Takes q Spin in a whirlpool.
Herr Gottwerth, the meat merchant,
makes it practice to go fishing upon
the first day of May in each year,
whether that day be cold day, hot
day or Sunday, and this year was
no exception. Herr Gottwerth is not
much of a fisherman from a scientific
standpoint, but he can cast spoon
fairly we'll and knows how to place an
angleworm on a bullhead hook right
side up.
Yesterday, being May 1, Herr Gott-
werth, equipped with provisions and a
fur coat, sailed forth to the banks of
the River Rum, secured a aatboat and
put out upon the turbulent waters.
Placing his coat on the back seat he
Immediately commenced operations,
casting his spoon this way and that as
the boat drifted along in the current.
The boat was a trifle rickety, which
made it difficult for it's occupant to
maintain his equilibrium, and once or
twice he in consequence sat down I'M
expectedly. 1t was not, however. I'M
til he had hooked a monster of the
deep that he sat down on the outside
instead of the inside of the boat, and
it happened this way: His line
snapped in two. Herr Gottwerth
plunged about in the stream in an en-
deavor to catch the boat, but the little
craft lodged him and kept on it's
course towards the deep blue sea.
Being a poor swimmer Herr Gottwerth
could not reach the bank and had lust
commenced to say his prayers when a
friendly log came bobbing past. He
grasped the log and by mighty effort
succeeded in getting astride, and as
together they went sailing forth he
finished offering up his prayers.
Down stream they went at a rapid
pace until they struck an eddy, where
the log commenced a series of gyra-
lions which would have made q whirl-
ing dervish turn peagreen with envy.
Around and around went the river
horse, increasing in speed until Herr
Gottwerth became as dizzy as fellow
who had been drinking "bootleg. He
managed, however, to retain his seat
until assistance came, and at that
time he had been on the merry-go-
round two hours and twenty minutes.
Two farmers on the hilltop who
were working in the fields observed a.
peculiar object spinning in the water
and hurried to the river bank. Grasp
ing the situation, they secured a long
pole and thrust it out to the dilapi-
dated Herr Gottwerth and he was
speedily pulled ashore. So weak was
he from the immersion that his legs
did not sufficiently timber up to en-
able him to walk for nearly an hour
after his rescue.
Should any one find flatboat con-
tanning fur coat between here and
the Gulf of Mexico they will please
express the coat to Herr Gottwerth,
Princeton, and retain the boat as a
reward for their honesty,

The TRANCE OF VINE.

In childhood, when with eager eyes
The season-measured years view'd,.
y All, garb'd in fairy gpise,
Pledged constancy OF good
Spring sang of heaven; the summer
flowers
Babe me gaze on, and did not fade;
Even suns DER autumn's bowers
Heard my strong wish, and
sty'd.
They came and went. the 'shortlived
four;
Yet, as their varying dance they
woye,
To my young heart each bore
Its own sure claim of love.
Far different now the whirling year
vainly my dizzy eyes pursue;
And its f1dr tints appear
All bent in one dusk hue.
Then ..@hat this world to thee, my
heart?
It's gifts nor feed thee nor can bless
Thou hast no owners part
In all it's fieetingness.
