In northern Wisconsin and central
and northern Michigan remnants of
the old crop. of potatoes were offered
last week as low as 10 cents per
bushel and we're quoted on the
Chicago market at about the same
price. with few takers. The men who
owned them could have sold every
bushel they had for from 20 to 80
cents some weeks ago but wanted more.
1t is the old story that has been so
often told of refusing what is known
to be a good, very good price, in
the hope of another's necessity boost
ing the price still higher.

Based upon a report made by the
Chinese consul in New York, who
was ordered by his government to
make an investigation of the murder
of Elsie Sigel by heI Chinese lover.
Leon Ling, the authorities in the
celestial empire have announced to
the world their belief that Miss Sigel
committed suicide by taking poison,
and call upon Cinnamon everywhere
to shield Ling from discovery and ar
rest. Probably the unfortunate girl
also packed and locked her mutilated
body into the trunk where it was dis
covered in Ling's room.

The basket picnic held last Fri
day brought many of our citizens to
a new realization of what a priceless
possession Schreiner Park will be to
the municipality in years to come, No
city in this section has public park
OF such natural beauty as Lancaster.
The work doLe there this spring has
wrought considerable improvement.
The upper end of the road leading to
the hollow, which was washed quite
badly has been filed with gravel and
is now IN excellent condition. The
weeds and high grass in the grove
have been mown down and the entire
pa X never presented more beautiful
appearance. Trees and bushes have
attained fair growth IN the abandon
ed quarries and the hand of nature is
everywhere gradually covering the
Disbursements of commercialism.
Bushnell Hollow, as many still prefer
10 call it, also possesses historic in
terest as the home of one of Grant
county's earliest settlers. 1t is in
deed fortunate that it may be preserved
70 the future generations as a public
park and 1t is to be hoped that our
citizens will cooperate heartily with
the association to protect and im
prove. if possible its natural beauty.

J. H. BTenemer in his Washington
letter published in the Fennnimore
Times last week hit the nail on the
head when he says. the U. S.
Senate keeps tugglng away at the
tariff. We are more interested in
the tariff which grocers charge us for
beef, ham and eggs. In enc of de-
bates en- the tariff bill before the y.
S. Serate, one Of the senators made
the assertion that the import duty is
not the factor which has augmented
the prices of commodities; for in
stance, the import duty on razors
is II cents. The wholesale price of
the best of imported razors abroad is
about 80 cents; we have TO pay from
So. 90 to So 90 for a good razor. There
is an import duty on hides and
cattle. If the gates were opened for
free hides would the prices of this
commodity decline?"

The Spirit Of Winter

The spirit of winter is with us,
making its presence known in many
different ways-sometimes by CHEEKY
sunshine and glistening SHOWS and
sometimes by driving winds and blind
ing storms. To many people it seems
to take a delight in making bad things
worse, for rheumatism twists harder,
twinges sharper, catarrh becomes
more annoying and the many symp-
toms of scrofula are developed and
aggravated There is not much poe
Try in this but there is truth, and it is
wonder that more people don't get
rid of these ailments. The medicine
that cures them-Hood's Sarsaparilla
is easily obtained and there is abun
dant proof that its cures are radical
and permanent.

RoJEsTVENsKY ls BEAD
Russian Vice Admiral Was Tried for
Surrendering to the Japanese Fleet
st. Petersburg, Jan. l6,-Vice Ad-
miral Rojestvensky died here yester-
day of neuralgia of the heart.

Although he was criticised and
brought befort a court-martial for his
surrender of the Russian feet in the
battle of the Sea OF Japan, many
critics have since declared that Adj
miral Rojestvensky was the real hero
of the Russian Navy These critics
have said that the reason for the dis
astrous showing made by the Russian
fleet was the poor condition In which
the ships were at the time.
Born near Moscow in 1S4S, Sinovi
Petrovitch Rojestvensky spent the
greater part of his life in the Russian
Navy. After being graduated from
the Michael Artillery Academy he rose
step by step until he became chief OF
the Naval Headquarters STAG and the
head Of the Intelligence Department
of the navy. He had previously
gained the St. Georges Cross for two
acts of bravery in the Russo-Turkish
war. He had also served in the Black
and Baltic Seas gaining reputation
as seaman.
After the disasters which had be-
fallen the Russian warships in their
conflicts with the Japanese. Rojest-
yensky was put in command of the
Russian Baltic feet in 1904. He was
ordered to take this feet to Vladiyos-
tok. and on Oct. 16 he sailed from
Libau.
On May 81, between Korea and
Japan the Russians ran into Admiral
Togo fleet. In the battle the Japan
csc captured or disabled eight battle
ships. nine cruisers, three coast de-
Tense ships, nine destroyers, one aux
Hilary cruiser, six special service
steamers and two hospital ships. Tho
Russians lost 1000 men. and 1900
we're taken prisoners. The Japanese
lost three torpedo boats and lis men.
Rojestyensky's flagship was blown
up during the battle, and he made his
Headquarters on the destroyer Bildovy
which surrendered to Japanese
hattleship. He was wounded when
captured and was held prisoner us-
I'll the war ended.
When he returned to Russia At the
end OF the war Rojestvensky and the
officers OF the Bldovy were brought
before a court-martial to answer the
charge OF cowardice in surrenderins
the ship to the Japanese. Rolestven
sky pleaded guilty to save the other
officers. but this plea was discarded
and verdict of not guilty was
brought in. The other officers were
condemned to die, but their sentences
were committed by the Gear.
