Jerry H. Kalkman.

Jerry H. Kalkman, a resident Of
this place until five weeks ago, when
he moved with his family to Rib Lake,
Wis.,, died very suddenly at that place
last Thursday. Death was due to
heart failure. Appearing to be in the
best Of health, as he always was, de-
ceased had gone out at noon to do
1.-THE chores. When he failed to return
at the usual hour his family became
worried, and an investigation resulted
in the finding of his lifeless body.
The remains were brought to Prince
ton, and funeral services were con-
Quoted from St. Edwards church
Tuesday morning by Rev. Fir. Willen-
brink. Numerous friends attended the
last services, and the Catholic Order
of Foresters, of which deceased was
a faithful member, escorted the re-
mains to the cemetery.
Jerry H. Kalkman was born at New
Richmond, this state, November II,
1864. He made st. Cloud his home for
a time, and was united in marriage in
that city to Miss Mary Rosha.- Two
years later he came to Princeton, and
he operated farm north of the vii
lage. This he sold recently and set
tied on a 16O-acre farm near Rib
Lake, Wis. He is survived by his wife
and three children, Eugene H., of Co.
G; Hildegard, who is teaching school,
and Gwendelin, still at home Four
brothers also survive him, viz: John,
Henry and Nicholas of St. Cloud, and
Barney of St. Henry, N. D. All the
brothers, with the exception of the last
named, were present at the funeral, as
were deceased's brother-in-law and
sister-in-law, Frank Rosha and Mrs.
A. Klaverkamp of St. Augusta.
Deceased had most likeable per-
sonality, and was possessed of quail
tiles that win friendship and esteem.
His sudden taking away came as a
distinct shock to numerous friends
here. That kind Heaven may soften
the grief of the bereaved relatives is
the wish of all.

county looked better than ever to
them. He called attention to the fact
that the reports of Co. G, which have
been filed in Washington, are spotless
there is not a mark against, any
member of the company. This is a
wonderful showing, and highly graft
flying to friends of the boys. Captain
Johnson concluded by stating that on
the whole the members OF the COM
pany returned in a better physical
condition, that the experience had
broadened them, and that he was GER
tain that no one regretted the six
months passed on the border.
The male chorus again favored the
audience with song familiar to all,
"When Johnny Comes Marching
Home" and then VIM. V. Sanford dis
charged duty entrusted to him by
the company. He presented neatly en-
graved gold watches to Captain John
son and Lieutenant Morton, gifts from
the boys, prefacing the presentations
with appropriate remarks. Lieuten-
ant Kalkman was unable to be present,
but he also received watch. This is
ample evidence that the officers en-
joyed the confidence and esteem of
their men in marked degree.
Attorney E. L. Mcmillan then de-
1f o,,1>o or no
spirit prevailing at the homecoming
with the misgivings and doubts ex-
listing at the farewell reception six
months ago. "You looked good then,
said the speaker, "but you look bet
ter now" Mr.. Mcmillan next called
attention to the fact that expectations
had been borne out, and that the boys
had done whatever called upon to do
like men. He expressed the opinion
that if more serious and dangerous
work had been necessary they would
have met it with the same spirit. Co. G
was we'll differed, said the speaker
and a splendid showing was made
Capt. Johnson was the only company
commander in the Third regiment tc
get his clearance at once. Everything
was promptly accounted for, and con-
siderable of the credit is due to Quar-.
termaster Cordiner. The records were
all in ship-shape order, also, and this
facilitated mastering out. The officer
in charge awarded the palm to Co. G
in this respect, and the speed of mus.
tering out surprised him. The mess
account showed slight profit, where.
as numerous companies had over:
drawn their accounts. There were ne
black marks against this company
and not one man had charges pre-
ferred against him. In conclusion
Mr.. Mcmillan stated that if the boys
are as glad to get home as we are tx
see them, then this Christmas anc
New Year will indeed be the happies1
and merriest ever known.
One of the hits Of the evening was
a parody on "Tipperary," written by
Mrs. J. F. Peterson, sung by thu
male chorus, and it fairly brought
down the house. 1t appears here

Spud Notes.

changed, and the prices quoted else
where are the same as last week. No
potatoes are moving, and there has not
been a load marketed here the past
week, nor have there been any ship
ments from this point. ~.
The Chicago potato market re-
manned easy last week, and the tone
of inquiries indicate that the call will
be light until after the first of the
year. The demand at this season is
usually light, but many operators had
anticipated more than ordinary activ-
| ity for December and early January
because of their belief that the out
side trade had not bought as heavily
as usual and hence would be in the
market right along as their demands
required. It now begins to look as if
this "dope" was wrong and that the
buying trade was holding more stock
than dealers had estimated. It is we'll
known that lot of stock changed
hands and moved out during October
and some draw the conclusion that
with the high. prices curtailing con-
sumption, a reasonable supply was left
over with which to supply the demand
until the spring movement is again
under way. 5000.
Operators who are holding much
stock in warehouses, however, are not
bearish because of the fact that hold
ings in the production centers are linn
tied. Michigan has shipped heavily
from her short crop, as has Wisconsin.
In Minnesota the Sandland district is
we'll cleaned out now and the most of
the limited supplies held there are out
of original hands. In the Red River
Valley it is estimated that not over
$50 cars are now held, with about 300
of those within Clay county. The Da-
kotas have but a few cars scattered
here and there, and the western states
have been shipping heavily for the
past two months. Some estimates
have it that IS per cent of the crop
has been shipped out of Washington,
and better than so per cent Of the
crop out of Oregon and Idaho.
Fhe New York potato market was in
much better condition last week than it
has been for several weeks. The en-
barge placed by the railroads at Har-
lem River enabled those yards to clean
up nicely and the middle Of this week
there were not over 40 cars in both
the Harlem and the Thirty third street
yards. Prices were higher and there
was a great deal better demand from
the jobbing trade. The situation is no
different in the country than it has
been for some time. Farmers are very
firm in their ideas and on account of
the lower prices prevailing here a
great many out-of-town shippers can
not get the stock so they can sell it
with any profit, delivered in New
York. In New York state the farmers
we're getting $3.50 per bushel at the
loading station and shippers were ask
ing $1.60 to $1.65 delivered in New Y ork.
