Nor Was Tuesdays Base Ball Game a
Pitchers Battle.
Tuesday afternoon witnessed the
opening Of the base ball season in
Princeton. Monticello came over to
take Princeton's scalp but returned
scalpless. The game was interesting
in parts but the lack of practice was so
apparent that there we're times when
the air about the home rooters was
blue. Princeton's pitchers have had
no work this season and their work
was ragged but this will be overcome
in a few days and the talent will settle
down to their old gait. Claggett
played under difficulties, having dis
located his right thumb a day or two
before. There was one place where
the boys did shine though and that
was in batting. Conboy stood their
onslaught as long as he could but in
| the middle of the seventh he dropped
the ball in the box and fed to the
silent precincts of the right garden.
There was some good fielding on both
sides and at the same time there were
errors made which were very costly.
There were some rank decisions made
on both sides and at one time Month
cello threatened to quit the game but
the cooler judgment of some Of the
players prevented this foolish display.
There was small attendance owing to
the short time allowed for advertising

moneys worth and a larger crowd will

determination of noxious weeds which
they should not forget. The law pro-
vides: It shall be the duty of the town
supervisors or other person or persons
having the control of the public high
ways, streets or alleys, to enforce the
law. They shall use all reasonable
means to educate. those interested in
lands upon which noxious weeds exist,
as to the best means of identifying and
the, proper means of eradicating the
same, and when previous knowledge of
the existence of said weeds upon any
land is admitted by the owner, agent
or occupant, or where such knowledge
is proven to the satisfaction of the Of
fcers charged with the enforcement Of
the law and no steps have been taken
to eradicate said weeds by such owner,
agent or occupant, it shall be lawful,
and it is the duty of such officers to
enter upon such land and to take such
steps as they may deem necessary to
eradicate such weeds. The officers
charged with the. enforcement of this
law are required to examine all high
ways, streets and alleys and to investi-
gate all cases where they have from

others reason to suspect the existence
of noxious weeds on any lands within

the time in which such weeds shall be
destroyed and shall arrange with him
or them for the prosecution of effective
means to that end. Providing salts
factory arrangements cannot be made,
it shall be the duty of the officers to
enter upon said lands and cause to be
taken such steps as in their dgment

Candidate Van SAINT, through his

Candidate Lee, the Long Prairie
banker, has not showed up yet with
his boom, and there is some doubt ex-
pressed as to Whether he will put in
an appearance in Hennepin county at
I all. Clapp and Gibbs have some
friends in Hennepin; but the fight is
practically a three-cornered fight be-

An ancient nation is being extermin-

thousand victims stretched out under
Gods sky in the slow circle of year;

ing death; little children poised on the
bayonets of Moslem soldiers, villages
burned, starvation and pestilence the
common lot. .>.~. .ssy

we are engaged; but do not wait for
anybody to come, read this appeal in

member that five dollars will keep one

hearty and substantial support of this
relief work will be of great value in
demonstrating to the Turks, our sin
cerity as christians, and the depth of
our interest in our suffering brethren.

G. B. Upham Received Injuries Which Re
suited in His Death.
The Great Northern coast train last
Monday night struck G.. B. Upham,
clerk of court of Sherburne county,
and seriously if not fatally injured
him. There are several trains which
arrive at nearly the same time at that
station and it is supposed that Mr.. Up
ham thought they had all arrived and
was not exercising the caution he
would otherwise. He left the depot
to go to the pump house and just be-
fore he reached the door the train
caught him. The engine struck his
shoulder and he was picked up uncon-
scious. Tuesday morning he was
reported still in a comatose condition,
not having regained his senses after
the accident. and his life is despaired
of. Mr.. Upham is 70 years Of age and
has been resident of Elk River over
thirty years. He is well and favorably
known by large number of Princeton
people who deeply regret the unfortu-
nate occurrence.
The train which struck him is the
transcontinentl express, which does
not stop at Elk River. It was there
fore running at a brisk rate and could
not be stopped in time to avoid the
accident. A sharp curve and the in
