In November 24,308 men joined the
regular army. The policy of asking
men what part of the service they
wish to be in and where they wish to
go, also a free education, are greater
inducements to join Uncle Sans
army and navy than ever before.

The last session of the Goth Con-

King Spud, From His Lofty
Throne, Looks Dovn Now
Upon Once-Proud Orange

The end of the world and the Irish
potato do not appear to have much in
common. Yet the Bible tells us that
when false prophets arise and strange
things come to pass. then the world is
approaching it's end.
And what could be more strange
than to see the humble "spud' re-
garded as dessert by Richmond fam
lies?
Yes, it is even so. The potato has
become SO inflated in price that it has
gone beyond the reach of the working
man. And it costs too much for the
rich man to squander his money on.
A housewife after a groceries pur-
chasing tour of Main street was heard
compla lining about the fact that for
80 cents she received but nine ordin-
ary sized potatoes, yet for so cents
she received II of the best grade
oranges. She declared her family
would soon eat oranges three times a
lay and that potatoes would occupy a
place on the buffet as a fruit that
could be eaten only on Sunday after
noon.
Dark as is the "spud' prospect,
there is a ray of light in the offing.
More than 1900 school children have
signed for the home garden army and
each of this number has declared he
will raise potatoes. Grocers and seed
concerns say that despite the high
price and scarcity of seed potatoes,
home gardeners are rushing for the
tuberS.
Which means by next fall the potato
may topple from its perch to our din
ner plate.

TRIAL BY JURY
OFLESS THANH
RECOMMENDED
Convention Also F'avors Civil
Case Verdict by Five
Sixths Of Jury.

Lincoln, Jan. 20.-(Special.)-S
eral brands Of oratory were on tap
in the constitutional convention
Tuesday when that body went into
committee of the whole for the con-
sideration of proposals. Delegate f.
M. Pollard was in the chair and took
up proposal 22l by Anderson of
Lancaster, which relates to trial by
jury and provides that the legis-
lature may authorize trial by jury of
a less number than II in courts in
fcrior to the district court, and may
authorize verdict in a civil case
in any court by not less than five
sixths of the jury.
'Bigelow of Douglas sent up an
amendment, which was the cause
for all the oratory, which read:
This right shall extend to all
trials for constructive contempt, or
for violation of city ordinances,
when the act or thing charged be of
such a character to constitute
also a criminal offense under any
state or federal statute"
Mcdonald of Buffalo opposed the
amendment in a vigorous speech
lasting several minutes, while Bige-
low eloquently stood up for his
amendment for nearly half an hour.
Finally the amendment was divided
into two parts and was put to roll
call, losing by vote of &c to %.
The proposal was then recon-
mended for adoption after a substi-
tute by Sears of Douglas for indefi-
mite postponement had been voted
down.
On invitation of the convention
Governor Lowden of Illinois, who
will be in the city Wednesday and
Thursday, will be asked to speak to
the convention at such time as he
may designate.
