The Potato Market.

Prices of potatoes at this point have
not varied materially from those pre-
vailing last week, although there is a
slightly larger inquiry from foreign
buyers.
Shipments have been light in conse-
quence of the fact that buyers have
been waiting for cars. This does not.
however, signify that car shortage
prevails-it merely means that cars
ordered by the warehousemen we're for
some reason or other delayed. Cars
are available in any number required.
There has been noticeable squirt in
the movement from the growers to the
warehouses for the past few days,
owing partly to the fact that the roads
have been in better condition and
partly to the steady prices which have
prevailed of so cents and over per
bushel.
Whether potatoes will advance or
decline is of course impossible to pre-
dict, but crop reports state that the
yield of tubers throughout the country
has averaged up we'll with that of last
year.

The New Gold Coins

The mints at Philadelphia. San
Francisco and Denver have begun
coming a new S. gold piece struck on
different plan from any heretofore
coined in the world.
1t follows an idea expressed to
President Roosevelt by DR.. William
Sturgis Bigelow of Boston that to
permit the coins being piled to a uni
form height, a high or strong relief
might be obtained by depressing the
design below the field or face of the
coin, instead of raising it above, as
usual in all coinage operations.
This would provide a fat field and
uniform thickness, the fat surface
taking the wear and protecting the re-
lief, the shape of the depression fol-
lowing the outline of the relief. The
same design will be used on the $3.50
pieces, and all will bear the sin God
We Trust" motto. While never ap.
piled to coins, the commissioning re-
lief is one of the Oldest forms of
sculpture in stone.

Lemuel Randall, at present confined
in the Hennepin county jail awaiting
trial for burglarizing the Foreston
depot, is bad lot, and Sheriff
Shockley had better be on his guard
when be brings the youthful desperate
back here for trial next week. A
short time ago Randall manufactured
couple of slungshots which we're
found in his possession. he confessed
that he intended to slug the sheriff
and make his escape while being con-
veyed from Minneapolis to Princeton
to stand trial.
On Monday night Frank Shercliffe,
one OF the men who held up a North
ern Pacific train within the limits of
Minneapolis several months ago, was
brought from Tennessee and landed
III the Hennepin county jail. On
Tuesday morning he was searched by
Jailer Clausen and small steel hand
file was found in his possession.
Randall admitted giving Shercliffe
the file and said he had obtained it
from a fellow prisoner named Ryan
who had been sent to the reformatory
few days before. Randall also
handed the jailer handcuff key which
he had also received from Ryan.
Randall informed the iailer that he
had hoped to use the key on his hand
cuffs while being taken to Princeton.
Sheriff Shockley will breathe easier
when Randall is landed behind the
bars in Saltwater.

Mr.. Bryan Starts A New Business.

II Mr.. Bryan's agitation for the
guaranty of bank deposits did nothing
else, it started new business in this
country. Deposits can now be
bonded and the deposition as an in.
dividual instead of the associated
banks can insure his cash balance in
the banks.
Americans are always quick to seize
any new business opportunity and the
surety companies of New York. as
soon as the subject became prominent
enough to create demand, began
bonding deposits. It has now become
so large branch of their work as to
require in some instances the forming
of a separate department.
The charge is one-half of one pei
cent, or double the estimate of what
would he necessary to create the
guaranty fund for all banks and all
deposits. Many companies limit the
insurance to $4,000.
The difference between this system
and Mr.. Bryan's is that here the de.
position pays for his own insurance
with bonding company; Mr.. Bryan
would have had the banks pay the bill
with the government as the bonding
agency. The bonding company
naturally makes sure of a profit; the
government would have asked none.
One company has line of s17,OOO,-
COO and it is estimated that two others
will make this total 800, 900, 600.
These deposits, however, are largely
those held in the name of trustees,
guardians and those in other fduciary
capacities. The individual deposition
IS not yet to any extent insuring his
personal funds, but that may come

Official Vote of Mile Laos County,

In another column appears the
official vote of Mile Laos county in
tabulated form. Taft carried the
county by 692, and Jacobson for gov
ernor by SO. Jacobson carried Green
bush, Kathio, Milaca village, Onamia,
Princeton town and Princeton village:
all the other precincts were carried
by Johnson. The little bunch of loyal
republicans in Milaca village under
the leadership of Messrs. Erickson,
Wilkes, Davis, Goebel and others are
deserving of special mention for the
gallant fight they made there which
resulted in majority of Is for Jacob
son. Princeton village gave Mr..
Jacobson a majority of 123, which
was remarkable considering the fight
that was made against him here.
Princeton town also gave the republic
can candidate for governor a splendid

Minnesota Again Loses.

Wisconsin won another football
game with Minnesota on Saturday by
a score of 5 to 0. This makes two
games played and two defeats for
Minnesota this year. The game on
Saturday was one of the most stub
bornly contested ever played on
Northrop field.
It was fierce seventy minute
struggle, and until the last whistle
blew the result of the game was un-
certain. The line bucking on both
sides was something fearful. It re-
minded old lovers of the game of the
days of the flying wedge and tandem
crisscross. Wisconsin came to Min
nesota with team that is the best she
has had for years. furthermore, she
has had record of victories this sea-
son that she has not had since the
days of Phil King. She came to win.
On the other hand, Minnesota has a
green team this year. But her men
fought-like veterans. Stung by the
crushing defeat by Chicago last Sat-
urday, the Gophers made heroic
efforts to regain lost prestige. They
played with every ounce of strength
that was in them. They made mis-
takes that were costly, but they made
the effort Of their lives to win the
game. 1t was the scrappiest fight seen
on a western gridiron this fall, and
great credit is due both teams. It was
clean game from whistle to whistle.
In former years hard-fought battle
between the Gophers and Badgers
used to result in all kinds of slugging
and tricks that savored of rowdyism.
Nothing like this happened in Satur,
days game.
