This morning the court took up the
case of the Mississippi River Logging
company against Page Bros. This is
an intricate case involving trespass
and other charges and will probably
occupy most of the day.
Of the criminal cases, Robert Pit
mon, charged with obstructing the
railroad, George Russell charged with
bastardy, G. Fl. Rines, cruelty to ami
mails. VIM. Mahoney, for assault in
second degree, Wesley Freer for using
obscene language and F. L. Rosseau
for selling liquor without license
were dismissed. Jacob Pozer, charged
with assault in the second degree,
fail ed to appear and Mile Laos county
is $500 richer by the courts order to
forfeit bonds.
The cases to be tried are: Marion
Brumbaugh, assault and battery; Fred
Bradshaw, grand larceny first degree;
G.. L. Anderson. assault in third de-
gree; William Herut, petit larceny;
and Martin and Fred Brumbaugh,
petit larceny.
The grand jury found indictments
against Fred Young for assault in the
first degree; James Carius, third de-
gree burglary; and M. S. Cone, petit
larceny. The latter case is simply
neighborhood quarrel and involves
the title to a bull which Cone sold.
Erick Swanson, held to the jury for
assault in the first degree, was re-
leased, no Indictment being brought in.

Sell No Unfinished Stock.

There should be one int1exible rule
observed, and that is sell no unfinished,
unfattened stock! Kansas, Nebraska
and Iowa feeders are now in the mar
ket for all the store cattle they can buy.
So far as Minnesota is concerned it
should be regarded almost crime to
let young cattle go out of the State,
filled as it is with the best and cheap
est feed in the world. 1t is wrong to
let cattle go from here to be fattened,
to the enrichment of the lands and the
profit Of the feeders of other States.
The abundant feed represents much
of the soils fertility that can be re-
placed best and cheapest by consuming
the feed where it is grown.-Fd,na,

SCHOOL NOTES.
The Princeton Public Schools Began Oper-
ations This Week.

The Princeton Public Schools Began OPer-
ations This Week.
The public schools of the village of
Princeton threw open their doors Mon
day morning to the army of pupils.
That army, which has always been con-
sidered the pride of the village,
this year will be more numerous than
ever. Its ranks are at present made
up of PAT pupils representing about
onne-sixth Of the population and this
number viii: be increased during the
next month. This army has its Off
GERS, its staff and it general as we'll as
any other army that has gathered for
more serious but hardly more honor
able purposes. There is Commander
in-Chief Simpson, who is busy giving
orders to his faithful subordinates and
directing intricate movements looking
to the defeat of the great enemy, King
Ignorance. There is also his intelligent
staff, each one commanding an impor-
tant detail of the grand army, eager
and we'll trained and ever ready to do
battle.
All friends of the school may be
pleased to know that during session
of the High School board the Prince
ton schools were promoted from the
third to the second grade. Owing to
the growth of the school one new
school room has been opened up and
this with the transfer of one room to
the old building makes two rooms now
occupied there under charge of Misses
Hues and Estes. The removal of one
room to the old building was required
to make room for a science depart
ment where pupils can do laboratory
work in connection with their science
studies and which is one of the re-
quirements of a second grade school.
AS result of the spring examinations
1l3 certificates were distributed to
pupils of the high school on Monday.
The subjects covered are as follows:
Arithmetic, grammar, U. S. history,
geography, English composition, es-
Say, elementary algebra, higher alge-
bra, plane geometry, history of Eng
land, physical geography, Latin gram
mar, Caesar, bookkeeping, senior
grammar, senior arithmetic and senior

PITTSBURGH. Pa, Oct 1l.-For two

cept the last named state there has
been remarkable deficiency in rain.
fall, according to figures of the
Pittsburgh weather station. Since
April 90 there has been no coal
stage in the Monongahela river. Not
a bushel of coal has passed south since
that month and 5000 miners in the
river pits have been idle almost
the entire period. All the boats and
barges are loaded and 10000. 900 bush.
els of coal has been waiting three
months for higher water on which
to go south. At many points railroads
are being forced to haul water for
their engines. The Ohio river is SC
low at East Liverpool that the in.
fluent pipes are bare and the
supply is scarcely sufficient for
domestic requirements in the
towns, some of whose estab
lishments are idle this week. Nine.
tenths of the small towns have been
strictly limited to the consumption OF
water by police regulations A large
number of towns have cut off shops
and mills In Lawrence, Mercer and
adjoining counties farmers are selling
their stock because of the difficulty in
keeping cattle watered. s.,
In all of the oil fields surrounding
Pittsburgh the work of drilling new
wells has been greatly interfered with
for a month on account of the scarcity
of water. So great has this become in
some sections as to cause practically q
complete suspension of operations.
