Some buyers well posted in regard to
the potato situation are responsible for
ihe statement that the price of potatoes
will be less than at present as soon as the
southern demand for seed is over. There
seems to be potatoes everywhere this
year in abundance. Towns in the eastern
part of Nebraska that always have bought
potatoes heretofore have enough to satisfy
the home demand and a few cars for
export.

trouble to keep the crossings open. The
other morning he arrested the conductor
in charge of a train and says he obtained
his word of honor to go with him to the
justice as soon as he could put the train
on the siding. Instead of that Mr. Con
(which stands for both confidence nnd
concuctor) swung onto the side of the train
gave the high ball to the anginuer nnd the
horse laugh to our worthy marshal and
went 03 his way. The reporter for Hem
ingford is afraid that this con hns made
the path thorny for others who fill a posi
tion similar to his for the marshal has been
worked once and the chances arc that ho
wont be again. Another incident has been
added to the row over the crossings for the
second time the conductor has come out
way ahead.

Ttie question of sued potatoes is one
of timely interest and it would he well
for those preparing to raise spuds this
season to look to the seed IhoyJ plant.
The following item from The Rushvillo
Recorder will explain what one farmer
in Sheridan oxporioncod with home
grown and imiwrted seed potatoes:
"As an illustration of what can ho
done iu the matter of increasing our
yield of potatoos from froah seed, we
are informed that Nicholas Lehman
planted three bushels of fresh seed im-
potted from Minnesota potatoes last
summer aud they returned him 147
bushels. Three bushels of the home
grown seed, witli the same care, plant
ed at the same time, returned him less
than 50 bushels. Moral; get new im
ported seet if you want to increase
your yield."

"Co 0-0" la tho curious cry that wns
ono of tho Blgiiult! of tho native blacks
of Australia. The cry was speedily
adopted by the ttnudlnc; whltos. Tho
final "e" Is a very high noto, n sort
of prolonged screech that resounds for
long distances through tho bush, and
thus enables separated persons to
ascertnln their rolatlvo positions. On
ono notablo ocruslon this peculiar cry
was heard in London. A daring bush
ranger mado his appearance one
morning in front of a bank in Dal
larat, nnd coolly posted a notice on
tho door to tho effect that tho placo
would bo closed for an hour.
Entering, ho terrorized tho ofllclnls
with his revolver, and gat clear away
with $30,000. Some tlmo nftorwnrd
the authorities received information
that tho man had been scon In Lon
don. One day a detective thought he
espied his man In the Strand, but not
being quite sure he hit upon an ex
pedient. Ho uttered a piercing
"Coo-e-e."
Passers-by stood fixed in astonish
ment, but the Australian, acting on
the spur of tho moment, and recog
nizing the familiar sound, hastened
to tho person who uttered It. Ho was
promptly arrested and was tnkon
back to Australia.

to transmit Instiur ons to tho cook

as I can remember these woro his
instructions:
" 'Now, waiter, kindly tell tho cook
I don't want the oysters and milk
merely mixed and heated. I want the
milk carefully boiled first. Tho oys
ters should then bo added without tho
liquor. The liquor should not bo put
In until the seasoning Is added. Be
very particular to get good, rich milk,
and nothing but the best gilt-edged
butter. As for the oysters, I want
Cape Cod salts. No ordinary stock
oysters for me. Do you understand?'
" 'I think so, sir,' replied the waiter;
'but do you wish tho oysters with or
without?'
'"With or without what?' nsked tho
customer.

Getting Things Mixed.
When Walter Williams, from Colum
bus, Miss., was In Spain a jear ego
he called upon a provincial editor In
the Interest of the St. Louis exposition.
The next day the paper had the follow
ing: "Walter Williams of tho Uaitod
States purchased the state of Louisi
ana, and next year will give a celebra
tion, to which ho has Invited his fellow-journalists
of Europe." Mr. Wil
liams again called upon the editor and
thoroughly explained matters. Tho
editor apologized and printed this cor
rection: "Gov. Francis of Missouri
has pin chased n large tract of land
:n the grent American desert, and Wal
ter Williams Is here to Invito tho Jour--inllstE
of Spain to a show whch tho
