Erzherner Rchind the Ponc.

Stockholm, Aug. 1T lyia London Aug isl -The hidden influences which largely persuaded Pope Beu- edict to put forth his peace propos- al were the Austrian court and Herr Matthias Erzherger, leader Of the clerical party in the Reichsiag. Thf German imperial government played a very subordinate role, if any, in the preliminary pulling of the wires that stretch to the Vatican.
 This is the general opinion in di- plomatic circles and amoug political specialists here
 The pope's sincerity and nde- Iendenee in taking his step toward peace are mol doubted On lhe oth- cr hand, it is accepted as an obvious fact that his holiness was dneisiveiv influenced by subtle suggestions emanating from lhe Austrian court, of which he is the near friends. and propagated spontaneously in Nati- can circles by Herr Er1berger.

PECULIAR POTATO DEAL.
On a Banter J. $. Looney Contracted
 Crop at Si BusheI.

J. s. Looney from near Yocana came in Thursday evening with about 50 bushels of potatoes which he delivered to Dr. C. c. Gunnels, making a total of about 320 bushels of marketable potatoes which he had raised on about 2l4 acres of ground
 The potatoes were sold to Dr. .Gunnels early last spring, about the time the food safety" campaign was begun, and the contract came about as the result of banter Sam twit- ted Mir. Gunnels about his activity in the food campaign, and jokingly deprecated the movement, suggest ing that as a result potatoes would be cheap. Dr. Gunnels accepted the challenge to take Sans potato out- put at Sl per bushel, and Sam just finished delivering the goods. At the time, Mr. Looney already had out q good acreage, and when the carload of seed potatoes arrived, he bought another good supply of seed. The peculiar thing about the deal is that both think they are winners, and the grower is ready to enter into the same kind of a contract for next year. but he says the buyer isn't game.
 After the potato contract was closed, Mr. Looney closed a con- tract for the purchase of 200 acres of land from the Gunnels brothers. The land is located one-half mile east of Ink, and is known as the Cedar creek tract It is unimproyed, hut Mir Looney plans to fence and clear a 100 acre tract this winter, and when the notes mature for the payment of the land he expects it to have paid for itself

 Hernia, said Colonel Frank, has lproyed the most commou complaint with which the physicians of the Chicago exemption boards have had to deal Slight hernia can easily be caused by manipulation with the hands.
 Having teeth extracted is q com mon way of escaping service.

 European slackers often have their fingers contracted by sitting the tendons in the palm of the hand or in the wrist A discharge from the ear and partial deafness are caused by dropping caustie or car bolic acid into the ear.
