There is every Indication that
Princeton will soon be in the throes OF
war-an oil war. The Standard Oil
company established q station here
and gave the merchants to understand
that they would save the freight on
all oil shipments by reason of this az
rangement. Since that time the mer-
chants have been paying l3 cents for
oil which is retailed in Minneapolis
for nine cents so when an independent
company undertook to extend its trade
to Princeton it found it a compara-
lively easy task. The Standard then
Immediately began a cut Offering to
give merchants Il rebate so that its oil
could be sold at one or two cents less
per gallon than the new company. II
the merchants work their cards prop
erly oil will be cent a gallon in
Princeton the same as has been the
case in other cities. AS one merchant
expressed himself 1.-THE Standard has
been skinning us all summer and now
I'll be d if I'll handle their OIL"
Best kerosene is II cents here now
while in most places 10 cents is the
limit.

CAN THE HEART BREAK9
Physicians Say Not, Yet the Imagina.
tIOn Often PLAYS Sad Franks.

Grief does not kill, and it Is indeed
very seldom that heavy sorrow cauees
death to anyone when in a healthy
condition. 1t is, however, very often
the indirect cause OF death, either by
bringing diseate to climax, or by
rendering the sufferer more liable to
lis attack. If a man is convinced
that his grief is more than he can bear,
those who have studied the matter
agree that, through the force OF his
own Imagination, the man will sctu
ally die from "5roken heart"
The great Napoleon was killed by an
internal disease, but it is supposed
that it would not have been fatal had
not his spirits been so depressed

Pitt, the orator, is said to ha, lied
from a"broken heart" caused by his
great grief at the failure of his cher
ished hopes and plans. And there
have been many other such instances
in the history Of this country. When
plaques are raging in town, statistics
show that as many die from fright and
imaginary causes as from the real cpl
demic, so great a hold has the fear o.
death on some people.
If man is condemned to be shot, il

HANGING BASKETS.
The Best Flowers to Use and How to
Plant Them.


Hanging baskets are always desir-
able for handsome summer window
garden, and it is a special Importance
to have them deep enough to hold
plenty OF soil, so that the roots will
not lay against the sides of the porous
pot and become scorched in the hot
suns. The summer blooming oxalis is
always satisfactory for this purpose, as
the rich mass of foliage will soon drop
down and cover the sides of the
baskets, and the graceful spikes and
clusters of bloom will continue 10
develop all summer long. The various
tradescantias, with their handsome
variegations, should also find place
in these hanging baskets. 1t is easily
rooted from slips, and a small plant
purchased now will produce many
thrifty plants before warm weather, if
the branches are broken at all the
joints and rooted in dishes OF sand
and when planted in the baskets they
will soon form long ropes of handsome
glossy foliage.
