JOEL P. HEArwoLE has been a
congressman about six weeks. AL
ready he has developed tendencies
for territorial acquisition. Should
this spirit of enterprise continue to
grow in due proportions until the
end of his term, the peerless,
beautiful Joel will have our great
nation involved in international
complications, the likes of which
the world has never seen. The
following squib was taken from
the last issue of his sprightly pa
per:
Shall this country maintain it's pres
ent boundaries, or shall it reach out
and include everything that will be
necessary to the greatest commercial
nation the world has ever seen? Upon
the decision will depend whether we
remain merely a great nation or be-
come the greatest.

IT appears after all that Duluth in
its ambition to secure a State Normal
school for the present at least has got
merely a pig in a poke. The law car
ries no appropriation with it and there
is hope that public sentiment in the
future will prevent one being made
Albert Lea Standard.
Though not particularly favora-
bic to the erection of any such
building at the present time, since
the bill has passed, it would seem
that Duluth situated as it is, a
large and growing city in pros.
porous region, that the future
may show that an appropriation is
the right thing, and if so, it
should be made.

The Hinckley Enterprise in its
last issue, does not give Chisago
county an immigration reputation.
The life Of the land there, is about
exhausted according to that paper
and instead of the fine potato pro-
ducing belt as it has always been
characterized, it is now a ''howl-
ing failure'', owing to the prev.
alence of the potato scab. That
is a matter of small import, and a
proper treatment of the seed,
would obviate that difficulty. Let
the farmers of Chisago county,
follow out the instructions Of
Bulletin 80, sent free to farmers
from the State University, and
Pine county will drop her tail
feathers.

City Park.

Few people are aware that in the
plating OF the village, park was laid
out among the beautiful pine groves,
in north Princeton. A visit to that
locality will amply repay you. The
present council, alive to the interests
OF the village, took note of the matter,
and decided change has taken place
in the park within the last few days.
The people of that locality have turned
out in force, and removed all of the
brushy underground, leaving only the
pine trees standing. The work was
donated, but it has been we'll done.
There is no prettier place in Minnesota
than the village park, and with the
addition of further improvements con-
templated, it is bound to be the center
OF attraction, a pleasant resort for
people during the summer months.

Married..

John Townsend, of this place, and
Miss Winifred Larkin, of Blue Hill,
were united in marriage, Sunday eve
ming. The happy couple have grown
up in this country, and have host OF
friends who unite in wishing them
health, happiness and prosperity.
They departed Tuesday morning for
Dickinson, North Dakota, where they
will make their future home. The
profession of teachers will miss one OF
their best workers from the ranks, in
the marriage of Miss Larkin, while
there is one less good-looking young
man in the single file column.

w. H. HARVEY, or now better
known as ''Coin," lectured in Min
neapolis last week, but not a ia
vorable word was written about
him by by the big dailies. What
kind of man must he be, that
they all sat down on him with so
much unkindness? If he does not
know any more than those papers
give him credit for, he is to be
pitied, and should have a guardian
appointed. But then, his book is
getting in its work, and bringing
the author good money.

Memorial Day.

Only about one month remains un-
til Memorial Day will be with us again.
The G.. A. r. Post, Sons of Veterans
and Ladies Aid, are numerically in
condition to look we'll after the observ-
ance of that important day, and from
recent reports, it is safe to assume that
the day this year will receive greater
attention than has hitherto been be-
slowed. A good speaker, Major H.
A. Norton, has been secured for that
day, appropriate vocal music has been
sent for, twenty or thirty or more
singers will be invited to join in the
singing, Jesmer's Opera House will be
utilized, the band will be on the pro-
gram, the schools invited to partici-
pate, and all other details looked after,
to make May 30th, 1895, the greatest
memorial service yet given.

The report of the Feig commi

The report of the Feig commit
tee criticizes somewhat severely the
action Of the County Auditor Van
Alstein and his deputy auditor for
the sale of lands in this county last
fall. In the report it is set forth
that the resale of said lands was
illegal without readvertising. Sec
ton 1918 of Kelly's statutes of
Minnesota, defines very clearly the
AUDITORS position in such case and
shows beyond a shadow of doubt
that said resale as made by the
deputy auditor, was perfectly
legal. A consultation of the law
is all that is necessary to exonerate
the auditor and validate the sale.

Our supreme court has fallen
rlghtful heir to more adverse
criticism within the last few weeks
than that great branch of our
government has experienced since
the bred Scott decision. It is
boldly asserted that important de-

There is a strong howl for the
abolition of the senate, and now,
that same hue and cry will be

The ladies Of the Maccabees, nearly
thirty in number, marched into Macca-

almost before the goat could be hidden.
They brought with them, baskets of
oranges and bananas and turned the
lodge session into pleasant sociable.
Speaking and singing followed for an
hour. Good night songs were sung
and the welcome callers departed for
their homes.

Death of Mrs. Ellen King.

Mrs. Ellen King, of Wyanette, age
36 years, died Sunday forenoon at half
past ten o'clock from uremic convul-
sions. She was slightly indisposed
Saturday evening, but nothing serious
was thought to be the matter until
about four o'clock Sunday morning. At
that time, she was taken with violent
commissions. Doctor Cooney was
hastily summoned and did all that
could be done for her, but she grew
rapidly worse, suffering intensely un-
til death came, about six hours after
the first spasm. Her sudden transi-
ton from good health to the embrace
OF death, came so suddenly, that
friends and relatives could hardly
realize the sad fact The funeral SER
vices were held Monday afternoon in
the school house of that district, Rev.
Noah Lathrop, of the M. E. church,
conducting the services. People
turned out from Princeton and the
country surrounding, making it one of
the largest funerals ever held in
Wyanette. The remains were buried
in the Wyanette cemetery. Mr..
Albert King, the sorrowing husband,
and the five bereft children have the
sympathy of the entire community.

prevailed in Princeton until within the

prohibiting the same, there were

OF the streets, the regular arrival of

under the care of good herdsmen, and
best of all, the absence of filth, have
worked changes, and not one would

Railroads are generally in for con-

''soulless corporations" now and again,
perform acts of generosity and kind

curses that are fired at them, as wit

Alvah Eastman, secretary of the St.

$500 to cover freight charges paid by
the committee on merchandise shipped
to the forest fire sufferers in and
around Milaca last fall. The amount
will be used to supply the needs of
many unfortunates still in that vicin-
ity.

ator John J. ingalls, of Kansas is one
of the most picturesque characters of

that have made him talked about far

rid itself of its jealous hue. For, by way
of money matterb be it known that, be-

an immense sum annually upon his future
duchess, and made over to her all the
