The following, from the BATTLE Lake
RevSeo, progressive and well-edited

The following, from the BATTLE Lake
Revieao, a progressive and Well-edited
paper, should receive the attention Of
every school board in the State:
At the last meeting of the Battle
Lake school board the following was
passed as one Of the rules governing
the school in this district: s. scholar
who is tardy twice in one month, and
fails to furnish a good and sufficient
excuse, shall be suspended for such
time as the teacher may direct, and for
the third offense shall be expelled from
school for the remainder Of the term"
The RevieaD hopes that none will be
obliged to leave school, but all will do
their best to obey the rule laid down
by the board. It is reasonable and just,
and parents should see that their chill
dren start for school so that they can
reach there and be presentat the open
ing. Remember one thing, parents, it
is generally you and not the children
who are to blame when the latter are
late at school.
Judge Collins Gets a Good word from the
Great Dairy Interests.
The following extract from letter
sent by the State Dairymen's Associa-
ton to the creamery companies
throughout the State. is a strong evil
dence Of Judge Collins popularity. It
says: II also take it for granted that
you are interested in keeping our mar
ket as free as possible Of oleomarge rine
and call your attention to the fact
that Judge Collins spoke in no uncer-
tain way when he rendered us the
| famous pink law (Anti-O leo) decision.
He is on record in our favor and I con-
slider it of great Importance to the
dairy interests (of Minnesota at least,
that we re-elect him, and I earnestly
| hope and urge that everyone interested
in dairying will not only vote but work
to this end.

A TRIUMPH in American ingenu-

A TRIUMPH in American ingenu-
ity and engineering skill is again
scored in the construction Of the
new cruisers Columbia and Mime
apolis. They are triple screw
ships, and make the highest rate
Of speed ever attained by any
craft except the small boats Of the
torpedo department.. The Olym-

that are not approached for speed

Mayor Eustis' speech here, on the
evening Of October 9Th, in which
twenty-five farmers rose up to con-

price of wool different from those
set forth in the speech, is an alb

Death of samuel Dunn.

Death of Samuel Dunn.
After very painful sickness of sew
eral weeks Samuel Dunn of Lowville,
one of Columbia county's Oldest and
most esteemed citizens, died at mid
night Saturday, October 9Th.
The cause of his death was cancer
which first manifested itself on his lip
a little over two years ago. This, how
ever, was removed by DR.. Blake, of
Lodi, and for a time his family and
friends had hopes that he was to be
spared from this terrible disease; but
their Joy was of short duration, and
early last spring the disease made it's
appearance in the form of a swelling |
on his neck a little below the ear.
At first little fears were unprecedented
from this, as it was supposed to be due
to cold; but as it kept increasing in
size, he consulted his physician, and
only then did he learn the true nature
of his affection. He sought some of the
most eminent specialists of the State,
but they could give him no help or en-
enlargement.
He bore his awful sufferings and APP
preaching death with calm resignation
so characteristic of him.
The funeral services occurred at the
house Monday afternoon, and were con-
Quoted, at Mr.. Dunn's request, by Rev.
Mccoy.
A large concourse of sympathizing
friends accompanied the body to the
grave, where it was laid to rest by
the side of that of his beloved wife,
who had preceded him by twelve
years.
Three children, Charles, Name and
Sarah survive him to mourn his loss;
but ''they mourn not, as those without
hope. !.
Mr.. Dunn was born in 1921, in County
Tyrone, Ireland; in 1910 he came to
this country, and in December of that
year settled in Portage; with the ex-
lception of a year and a half spent in
the northern woods, he has lived in
Columbia county ever. since-forty-
eight years of this time being passed on
his farm in Lowville. In 1856 he was
married to Sarah Campbell, of County
Tyrone, Ireland.
II Mr.. Dunn was one of those calm,
: generous, Industrious, transformations,
|. home-loving men so much admired,
but so seldom found. AS one of the
foremost men of his town, he took an
active interest in it's affairs, as is
shown by the fact that he was seven or
, eight times its chairman, and eighteen
or twenty times it's clerk.
His generosity is attested to by all
, his neighbors. No stranger ever left
I his door hungry. No friend ever
I asked a favor he did not willingly
> grant. He was friend to all, but fol
the poor in particular did he entertain
a most kind and heartfelt sympathy
;, It was they he made the object of hi
charity, which was bestowed silently
J unostentatiously, literally. Fruitful
q was his life in good deeds and man.
) and good were the lessons of his char
r. acter.
Al His absence will be sadly realized
and his memory will be cherished b
all who knew im.-Portdge wis.

Seven years ago Mr.. Dunn paid
= visit to his nephew, the publisher G
st the UNION, and made the Acquaintance
q of many of our citizens. He was, il
Is deed, a noble generous-hearted man
= man who was beloved and respecte
by all who knew him.

Splendid Opportunity for Men to Get Good
Homes.
The present week may be considered
as about the center of the potato har-
vest. Prices have ranged all the way
through in the neighborhood Of fifty
cents per bushel. Sixty and sixty-fve
have been paid, while the figures have,
in some cases, gone down to thirty and
thirty-6ve cents There is an univer-
sal promptitude in the payment Of ac-
counts this fall, and an increase in
trade is noted. The local trade is in
as prosperous a condition as has been
noted for several years past. Build
ings, throughout the country, are un-
dergoing an overhauling, and many
new ones are going up. A general air
of prosperity is the present status of
things in the village of Princeton and
the territory adjacent to it. Settlers
are coming on every train and our land
agents are on the go almost every day
to show men their lands in various
parts of the county, and in almost
every instance close a sale of a forty,
an eighty or quarter section. Sew
eral instances can be cited of men who
left the crowded cities of Minneapolis
and St. Paul during the past year,
where they eked out precarious liv-
| ing for themselves and families, who
are now we'll situated and are living
happily and contentedly with plenty to
carry them through the winter, and
wood enough in their door yards to
keep a dozen families warm. All
within the last year have those men
made this pleasant change for them
selves and those dependent upon them
for their clothing and living. Such
men deserve special appreciation, as de
all men who force themselves above
the contingencies of doubt and find 8
/ happy and contented existence as in
dependent characters in the problems
of life. There are many splendid op
portunities yet open in Mile Laos
county for men to get homes at nomi
nal figures on easy terms. Remembel
this is the best combination of soil TO-
the production of every variety of cro]
in the State of Minnesota.

Long Words.

In the days of our grandfathers, |
when cities were few and far between |
in America, and the bulk of our people |
were countrymen and villagers, the
s'spelling SCHOOL, held in the winter
evenings, was the source of much in
nocent amusement and interest.
Every leader hunted up lists of long
and unusual words, favorites being
such as ';incomprehe nsibility," 'sun-
avoidableness,' ''syzygy," 'sphantas-
magoria' and 'sschism.'' Our Ian
guage is not, however, remarkable for
words of great length, except those not
of Saxon origin. The German Ian
guage furnishes large number Of com
pounded and pollysyllabic words many
more than the English. 1t is meta
phorically that we look for long words
in our American speech. 6 Never is
a long worlds proverb in example.
One of the conundrums of former days
was: What is the longest word in the
English language? Smiles; because
there is a mile between the first and
last letters (s-mile-s). Burlington"
is a longer word than ''smiles'' be-
cause, if you spell it out by travelling
over the burlington Route" you find
you have travelled seven thousand
miles from the beginning at Chicago
to the terminals at Peoria, st. Louis,
St. Paul, Minneapolis, Kansas City,
Omaha, st. Joseph, Denver, Deadwood,
Cheyenne and Billings. Write to any
agent for tickets, timetables, maps,
ETC., or address W. J. G. Kenyon, Gen.
Pass. Agent, st. Paul MINI.
