Russian Ignorance.

"Why does Russia linger in ignor-
ance?" answered David S. Jordan.
''Let me tell you story. When was
in college at Cornell there came a
bright young Russian to study by the
name ofsDabrolehoff. Thisyoung man
was of quick perceptive powers and
deeply interested in the progressive
practical sciences and questions. He
studied very hard for four years, did
much more work than any single term
required, and graduated with the hon.
ors OF his class. He removed to New
York and entered into a successful
practice of civil engineering Some
time later learned that he had gone
back to his native land I heard no
more Of this young man outside of a
few scientific articles in some European
magazines for nearly ten years. While
making tour of Europe 1 bethought
myself of him, and wondered why his
brilliant parts had not long since
brought him into prominence In Rus

Little towns not half the size OF
Princeton have opera houses. Why
not Princeton? There is not hall in
town in which an entertainment can be
given or in which a large public meet
ing can be held. Jesmer's hall is good
enough for an ordinary dance, but it is
not large enough to be Of any practi-
cal use. If Mr.. w. III. Townsend re-
ceives sufficient encouragement he
will build a brick block with an opera
house in the second story that will be
a credit to the town. We hope the

School-Teaching in Princeton Thirty-Two
.-, -. e. a'- Years Ago.
While searching amidst the musty
papers OF the sixties, clerk of court
Briggs came upon a school register
made out on sheets of common writing
paper pasted together and kept by
Esau Whitney who was the teacher in
district No. l, 80 years ago. The
school was kept in the building on the
north side of the West Branch now
occupied by VIM. Martin as a place OF
residence. The number of pupils en-
rolled were 80, of whom17 were girls
and 10 were boys. A daily weather
record was kept by the teacher. The
term began on the 9th of MAY 1861.
and the weather record was marked
raw all through the month until the
last few days when the record changes
to fair and so continues for nearly two
months. The studies pursued comprise
alphabet spelling, reading, writing.
arithmetic and geography. Alice b.
Soule took the prize that term for
proficiency in spelling, getting as said
prize a scrip holder and little linen
book. The names of Sarah Gouldine.

Children's day services were OBJ
served at the M. E. church, Sunday
evening. The program was a good one
and was well carried out by the little
folks. The church around the pulpit
and across the entire platform was
beautifully decorated with Towering
house-plants and an almost endless ar
ray of native cut flowers arranged in
wreaths and boquets. The pastor gave
some good advice to the young people,
as did also Prof. Simpson.

At Hogansburg N. on the End
day Of March 1929, Mr.. John Grow
and wife were married, and at that

These chairs were kept in possession Of
the family until Mr.. Crows death
June End, 1892 The chairs shortly af-
ter his demise were sent to the differ
ent children. Mrs. N. "A. Grow, Mrs.
Ed. Grow and Mrs. Alec. Deshaw, of
Greenbush, this county, receiving
Etheir chairs sometime this spring.
Mrs. Deshaw has also brass candle
stick, and a fluid lamp of that period
which are novelties in style and con-
Istruction. The main interest in these
articles hangs on their age and length
of time, they have been in use now
nearly 70 years.
Certainly, if there is any money in
the county road and bridge fund the
northern and central portions of the
county are entitled to much considera-
ton. For years the Union has advo-
Gated the improvement Of the roads in
that vicinity. We hope the commits
sioners will render all the aid in their
power toward making the road from
Milaca to the lake passable at all sea-
sons OF the year. En- this connection
we will say that no one more keenly
regrets the failure to secure State aid
for this road than the writer; It is
just as our Milaca contemporary states
it: A clause in the general appropria-
ton bill, appropriating 81 900 for roads
in Mile Laos county, was stricken out
in the senate. Two years hence we
hope northern Minnesota will have
representatives in the senate who will
make a stubborn fight to protect its
interests.

hue, two still larger almost white, and
two more with another size added
bearing alternate stripes of red, white
and blue. A brown thrush had con-
troll OF the nest, but the birds facility
for variation in size and color, is the
curious part of the collection, and also
too much for our limited scientific
knowledge. The deposit of red, white
and blue eggs might have been caused
by patriotic emotion, still there was an
evident piece of carelessness in omit

A Travellers Jingle.

To the most Europeans the varying
pronunciation of English words with
similar examinations is a source of con-
fusion and vexation. We all remem-
Der the story of the Frenchman's
hounderings in the attempt to pro-
nounce ''bough," ''tough," dough-
and cough" words just alike except
the initial letter, yet. all pronounced
differently. That could occur in
scarcely any continental language.
Sometimes the same was two pronun-
Citations, according to the fancy of the
speaker. For instance route, being
spoken as ''root" and ''rowt." A gen
tleman who went on an excursion over
the Burlington line from Minneapolis
and ST. Paul expressed his feelings in
these lines, which play upon the two
pronunciations of this world
Hear the pilgrims joyful shout:
1.-THE Burlington's dandy route,
Other lines we henceforth shoot,
This is the only first-class route; e
Rival claims we hereby scout,
None can please us but this route;

Half as nice as on this route,
And the roadbeds hereabout 3s ~
All are rough except this route;
And all in all beyond dispute,

jingle, but still more as the statement
of absolute facts. For tickets via this

A HORSE ON DOC.

The boys around town were telling a
story yesterday OH Lieutenant Hcugland
OF the militia, that is liable to cause him
some trouble for few days. Every one
knows that Mr. Hougland is under orders
to move on the rioGing miners at Weir
City at IL moments notice. Every one
also knows that lieutenant's weapons of
war are sword and revolver. Doc had
not seen his revolver since the Topeka
war, when he had it loaded up in anticipa-
tioa of close quarters fight. where it
it would come in handy. Yesterday,
after reading some of the more sensa-
tional accounts of the Weir City war, he
concluded that he needed more ammunition
and sent his revolver down town with an
orderly to Williams gun store with di-
rectious to obtain an additional supply OF
cartridges the SHINE as were in the it.
When Williams saw the cartridges he
smiled and handed out the cartridges to
the orderly with the remark that if Doc
desired to 90 to war he should be a little
more careful about the kind of cartridges
he had in his revolver. The fact is that
the cartridges were ''rim-fire" while .he
revolver was ''center-fi fire." and be could
pull the trigger for an age without Causing
one of them TO explode.

y BIG RAIN.

Old timers say that last nights rain
must be clasSed with the heaviest rainfall
ever witnessed by white men in this city,
considering the length of time it lasted.
IL converted Douglas avenue and Main
street into vertble canals, and the catch
basins were entirely inadequate to receive
the amount of water as it fell. The water
on South Market street covered the side
walk and extended as far as the steps to
the front entrance to the postoffice. At
the corner of Douglas and Topeka avenues
the water extended from the front door of
the Manhattan hotel across the street,
making it nearly impossible for the street
cars to pass that point. Market street at
Douglas avenue could not be crossed at all
by pedestrians, and people were compelled
to go half way to First street before they
could cross it without wading.
1t was great rain, and as it extended
all over southern Kansas ia all likelihood,
there is no doubt but what it did great
deal of good to the growing corn. The
storm was also immense, and it
doubtless did considerable damage south
and east of the city.
