A goodly number of the friends of
Mrs. Mary Mcclure met at her home
Monday evening to celebrate her S5th
birthday. It was a most delightful
evening to all present. There were
many gifts and beautiful tributes in
verse from friends and relatives far
and near. The abundant refreshments,
and the inexhaustible store of rich
anecdote and experience treasured up
from long and eventful life, made the
evening pass all too quickly. Mrs.
Mcclure has made many very warm
friends during her stay in Princeton
many who have felt from her the
sweet outgoing influence of the Lords
very own. May she long be spared to
this community.

VILLAGE Election.

The village election will be held on
the afternoon of Tuesday, Jan. 18th,
1896, between the hours of 2 and 4
o'clock. Each and all of the candi-
dates are known to almost every voter
personally. We presume all of the
candidates are honorable men and that
those chosen will labor to promote the
best interests of the village. It has
been asserted that the UNION would
not have opposed the bonding of the
village for waterworks and electric
lights if the ''old gang" had been in
Office when the proposition was sub
mitted to the voters. No matter who
the new officers may be the UNION
will continue to vigorously oppose any
effort to saddle load of Indebtedness
on the village until a part at least of
the bonded debt .of the county and
school district is wiped out. Our only
advice is, elect men who will wisely
and economically administer the af-
fairs of the village.

"SUPT. GUTHRIE"

A Successor for McKenna Found After a
-. Search.
p More changes on the Great North
ern. After some tribulation President
Hill has succeeded in getting a general
superintendent to succeed Mr.. Nc
Kenna, who resigned after the Melby
disaster. The new official is Archie
Guthrie, Of the railroad construction
firm of Foley Bros. & Guthrie. Mr..
Guthrie has been out over the line and
made q complete inspection and is now
ready to assume his duties. In looking
for his superintendent, President Hill
seems to have gone outside Of. the list
ofsactive railroad men, but the man he
has selected has been a practical rail-
reader and he has been connected
directly or indirectly with railroad en-
terprises all his active career. Mr..
Guthrie was one of the first conductors
of the old St. Paul & Pacific railroad,
and was afterwards a division superin-
tendent on the Manitoba. Four or five
years ago he quit railroading and went
into construction contracting in the
firm of Foley Bros.
He came up in the business with
President Hill. It is understood that
President Hill offered the place of
superintendent to a number of promin-
ent railroad men but none of them
would have it unless he would agree to
a contract for fixed term of service,
whether they got along with him or
not, and they also stuck for independ-
ence in Office such as no superintend-
ent has ever had on the Great North
ern.-MSrqoeupol Times.

The Cambridge Bank Finds a Couple of

An attempted forgery was baftled
here through the diligence of Cashier
Hans Engberg, Of the Isanti County
Bank. By Tuesdays mail came a

Bank of Minneapolis. It was pur-
ported to be drawn by Gouldberg &
Anderson, Endorsed by D. G. Anderson,
and certified to by Hans Engberg,
cashier of the bank. The draft was
protested and notice of the forgery
telegraphed the Minneapolis bank the
same evening. On Thursday evening

GANlYi4ld.

G.. w. Mcfarland, of Greenbush, has
just finished his threshing and reports
an excellent yield. He had FIVE and
one-half acres Of wheat which yielded
324 bushels per acre; six and one-half
acres OF rye and oats mixed which
yielded Is bushels per acre; and IS
acres of oats which yielded Sc bushels
per acre. He tried the experiment
of threshing corn and from four acres
harvested 200 bushels of shelled corn.
Threshing corn with common thresh-
ing machine is something new in this
part of the country and proved to be
an excellent method of handling the
crop. The fodder is finely chopped
and makes excellent feed while the
corn is turned out shelled and nicely
cleaned. There will undoubtedly be
a great deal of corn threshed next
year.

The bargain sale idea has pushed a
little too far. 1t was all right to have
q little fire or two, to help the ''great
reduction sale'' and make the "ads''
interesting reading. It is all right to
have the senior partners retire about
twice a year, in order to facilitate the
bargain announcements*on socks and
undershirts. The dissolution of part:
nership idea was also a good one,
harmless to everybody, and it made
the corsets and hand-embroidered

dent invention, did not work smoothly

LIGHTING THE CITY.

The Commissioners EndenvOring to
Elucidate u Difficult Problem.
The proposition Of the Washington Gas
Light Company and the Georgetown Gas
Light Company to light the city with gas
at S2O.50 per lamp per year has been re-
jected by the Commissioners, although the
city will continue to be lighted by gas at
that price under the old specifications, un-
less Congress comes 1.-The rescue of the
Commissioners and reduces the price. 1t
will be recalled shat neither of these gas
companies submitted bids when proposals
were invited for lighting the city. Both,
however submitted propositions based on
the old specifications at a price similar to
what they now receive. 1t has been de-
cided to invite new proposals for incan-
descent lighting, with the hope that the
Potomac Electric Lighting Company may
submit a bid. 1t is believed by the Com
miss:oners that they have the power to
authorize the erection of poles ard over
head wires in the county of Washington,
and if a bid is received from this COM
pany it is likely that it will be accepted
and contract awarded.
1t is said that the Commissioners also en-
tertain the hope that a new electric light
ing company may be formed, which, by
making an arrangement with the tele-
phone company to use portion Of the lat
ters conduits for the distribution of wires,
will be enabled to bid for the city lighting
contract.

Five Distinct Processes.
There are five distinct methods of pro-
cedure or processes: The solvent process;
drying; rendering; the chemical, and burn
ing or cremating. The drying and the ere
mating, or the combination of the two,
would be used on either or both vegetable
and animal matter, though preferably on
the vegetable alone, because of the utilZa-
ton of the residue
The solvent process is used principally
10 recover the oil and can be used on ami
NAL matters on those vegetables or
grains (such for example as meaD as con-
tain oils.
The rendering process (Which term is
used for the want of a better generic o1e)
embraces those wherein the Oil fats and
glue are recovered from animal matter, as
employed in the packing houses
The chemical process involves the trans
formation of the garbage into fertilizer,
but the expense of the chemicals required
renders the process expensive.

Interesting Exercises to Take Place
In the First Presbyterian Church.
Friday next is flag day, and a committee
whcl has been at work for some time
past endeavoring to teach patriotism to the
children who attend the public schools in
this city will hold celebration in the
evening. The First Presbyterian Church
has been rendered to the committee, and
this edifice is especially appropriate in
which to hold the exercises en- account of
its great age and the associations con-
nected with it. An entertaining program
has about been completed and addresses
songs and instrumental music will occupy
a prominent place
DR.. Sunderland will make the invocation,
and short addresses will be given by Gem
eral S. s. Burdette. Major Marion T. An

rell Ball. One of the features of the enter
tainment will be the Balch flag salute, par
ticipated in by dozen young ladies from
the Anacostia schools, under the leader
ship of Miss Brewer.
Every one connected with the affair
seems to display the utmost enthusiasm
in the coming celebration, and nothing
seems to have been omitted to make the
occasion a complete success. The commit
tee consists of Mr.. kibby, Mrs. Mary Fl.
North and Mrs. Eliza Naylor, the trio
which has worked so faithfully and so con-
Stantly in Introducing the flag salute and
the flag drill in the public schools. They
have also been instrumental in having a
number of flags raised over the different
schools and have in every way stimulated
the patriotism of the school children.
In addition to the celebration 10y the
public school children the Sons of the Rev.
olution and the Sons of the American
Revolution desire that every person in the
city of Washington having a flag will dis
play it on Friday next. This done
last year. and it is hoped that the custom,
which marks the anniversary of the day
when the Continental Congress adopted the
stars and stripes the national emblem,
will be kept up.

of the captains of the fifth battalion, ask
