CavaIcnde of Potato Digrers.

The potato industry of Clay county
was prominently demonstrated to the
crowds of visitors in the city this
morning when nearly a score of teams
and a force of potato diggers, passed
through the city this morning on their
way to Mr.. Valan's farm on the Shey-
enne river west of Fargo. On most of
the wagons were four horses, the head
one being drawn by four spanking ami
mails magnifcently harnessed and driv-
en- by the owner. The wagons were
loaded with big equipments of potato
digging machinery, potato sacks, tents,
etc, and feed for the men and stock.
Potato digging has been finished on
MI. Valan's farm at Rustad and the
crop amounts to one or two train oads.

FLAT DENIAL BY FATHER
OF ALLEGED MISSING SON

John H. Hanson: Please do me the
faVor OF making a strong denial of a
story in the Fargo morning paper to-
day under the headlines, Hanson Miss
ing for Three Days. Every statement
made in the story is absolutely with
out foundation. My son is in town and
at home and in no way has been miss
ing and there has been no friction to
speak of or occasion for any concern
and the remarks about my sons wife
being destitute are cruel in the extreme
and someone will have to answer for
the imposition or my family and my
self. AS to the judgment alleged the
court records will speak for themselves
and H.. H. Hansen tells me that he had
no thought of suing my son as he felt
assured that if there had been any
differences they would be easily ad-
juSted.

Corn has suffered a break Of one cent

no ~ostentatious display of support on

of the market on Tuesday will depend

IMPROVEMENTS IN POWER PLANT

The Moses Mill people have Just
completed the erection of a large boil
er room and the installation of a
new boiler of large capacity at their
plant on the Santa Fe.
The new boiler room is 4Ox4O and
about 30 feet in height, and accom-
modates a battery of three large boil
ers with a capacity of six hundred
horse power. This, with their sys-
TEN of oil burners and their man.
moth Corliss Compound engine, now
constitute one of the best and most
complete power plants in the state.
The work on this plant has all been
done under the personal supervision
of E. P. Smith, the engineer in charge
of the plant for several years past,
and is a monument to his skill in
this line.

BADLY FROZEN.

The case Of Willie Hoffman, who
recently became a ward of the coun-
ty, has attracted considerable atten-
tion this week. The unfortunate lad,
who is not possessed of sufficient in
telligence to care for himself, was
brought to Great Bend last Friday af.
ternoon by the city authorities of
Hoisington in a serious plight, ply
sically, from cold and exposure, his
feet being badly frozen and swollen
TO much greater than their normal
size. He was cared for at the county
Jail and attended by the county ply
sician until Saturday morning when
he was removed to the st. Rose hos
pital, where he is receiving care and
medical attention at the county's ex-
pense, and is said to be improving.
He is a step-son of Peter Moral of
the northeast part Of the county.
His own father is said to be living
in the county. Previous to being
brought to Great Bend, the boy was
cared for short time by the city
of Hoisington. Several contradic-
tory statements have been offered
as a solution of the question, why
is the boy in this condition." none
of which we have been able to verify
1t would appear that the boy is a
victim of criminal neglect and if
such is the case the person or par
ties, whoever they may be, who are
responsible for his condition, should
be made to explain. Under the con-
ditiOns which exist in our state to-
day We believe it will be hard to Of
fer an explanation which will stand
as sufficient excuse for allowing
such suffering as this boy has exper-
fenced to become the fate of any
person in his unfortunate mental con-
dition.

BASE BALL PROSPECTS.

Base ball matters are beginning to
show unmistakable signs of life. Pres.
ident Strong has in his possession
signed contracts from Manager Will
son, Nicholson, pitcher, and Sievers
all of last years team, and several
others due to arrive. The fact that
Wilson is sure to be with us seems
to be regarded, locally, as assurance
of First Division team. There are
one or two "hold-Outs but as this
situation always exists at this time
of the year in all base ball circles,
these are not causing any uneasiness.
The financial part of the deal will
be provided for in the due course of
events and so far as we can see
from where We are sitting prospects
are good for another season of Good
Ball.
Some of the other towns of the
League appear to be somewhat indif-
ferent as yet but with the coming of
spring the base ball microbe general
ly gets in a little overtime and sets
the minds Of the fans into action,
which soon chases "the glooms" into
the background and opens up a way
to provide for another season of the
greatest sport of the age.

CITY POLITICS.

The question Who's Who and
Why in city politics is causing con-
siderable discussion at present. No
one to our knowledge has yet pub
Hcly expressed himself as a candidate
either for mayor or city commission
er, but it is very evident from gener-
al conversation that a considerable
Gumber Of our citizens are quite will
ing to sacrifice themselves by being
drafted" to become a candidate for
either Of the positions. Who these
candidates shall be and what Qualifi-
cations are possessed by each is a
matter which is worthy of much con-
slderation by the intelligent voter.
Much depends upon the outcome ot
