FEW POTATOES ARE SHIPPED.
Growers Are Not Willing tc Accept
Price Offered.

Lawrence, Kan. July 19.-Only a Mrni-
ted amount OF potato digging was done
in the, Kaw valley this week, partly be-
cause most growers were not ready to
accept the prevailing price of 40 to
so cents per bushel, f. o. b. stations.
and also largely because the heavy rain
Tuesday night prevented digging. AT
a good many of the. shipping stations
the growers think they should get at
least so cents a bushel for their potatoes
and there is some uncertainty as to
how free digging viii become in the
near future il the price does not reach
that point
This idea that the price should be
so cents at least has been gaining favor
this week because of reports that the
crop is not turning out as well as had
been expected. At quite a few of the
points the first potatoes dug indicated
that the yield will be much lighter than
had been expected and for that reason
the total supply to be marketed from
the valley was materially reduced. Es-
Inmates up to this time have run as
high as $500 cars for the valley, but
this is generally considered to be a
little extreme and most estimates have
placed about 1000 cars as the maximum
runber likely to be shipped.

ARMOUR BUYS WHEAT.
Representative Purchases 100000
Bushels on Wichita Market.

Wichita, Kan, July 10.-Armour
and company bought 100000 bushels
of wheat in Wichita for export.
The big purchase was made by Ed
win HARDER, special representative of
this big exporting. banking and pack
ing company The entire purchase is
for export by way of Galveston and
the Gulf of MexfcoA The net price
delivered at the gulf is to be $1.15 a
busheI. This means about 81 d
bushel for the wheat in Wichita. Mr..
HARDER is still in the city and expects
to buy several hundred thousand
bushels of wheat for his farm.
A few years ago no exporter
thought of coming to Wichita to buy
wheat. The suit under the Hepburn
law filed by Kansas shippers and
prosecuted by Judge Helm is respon-
sible for the buying here. 1t cut out
the discrimination which had favored
Kansas City.

Lieutenant Governor Fitzgerald
Thinks One Is Unnecessary.
Lieutenant Governor w J. Fitz-
gerald of Dodge City was flood bound
at Kansas City yesterday while on his
return home from a trip to Iowa
where he had been buying thorough
bred stock for his western Kansas
ranch. In an interview with a Kan
saS City reporter he expressed him
self as opposed to special session of
the legislature in the following
language:
"a session viii cost the state be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, and in
my opinion I can see no condition
that would warrant such a. proceed
ing. Under the state guaranty law
participating banks are prohibited
from paying more than 3 per cent on
time certificates. The trust company
insures these deposits when much
higher rates are paid.
st would not vouch for the state
ment that a special session viii be
called. There is hardly any reason
for calling the session except to up
hold an administration question
cannot see where any other interests
would be benefited"

five miles northwest of Reamsville, in
this county. committed suicide in his
cell in the county Jail after being ad-
judged insane in the probate court.

to be constantly watched.
His act of self destruction was con-
nitted with a piece of lamp chimney
with which he slashed his left arm
aud then laid down and bled to death.
When found, between the hours of 6
and o'clock, his body was cold and
stiff, and everything indicated he had
ia ken the chimney of a small hand

ing it, severed one of the large blood
veins in his arm.
