II it required an annual outlay of
500. 90 to insure a family against any
serious consequences from an attack Of
bowel complaint during the year there
are many who would feel it their duty
to pay it; that they could not afford to
risk their lives, and those of their
family for such an amount. Any one
can get this insurance for 25 cents, that
being the price Of a bottle Of Cham ber-
lain'ss Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. In almost every neighbor-
hood some one has died. from an at
tack OF bowel complaint before medi-
cine could be procured or a physician
summoned. One or two doses of this
remedy will cure any ordinary case.

the risk for so small amount? For sale

Unit Rule In Conventions.

In Democratic presidential nominat-
ing conventions the SO called unit rule
prevails. In Republican presidential
conventions it does not, though in these,
too, it was formerly binding. IN the
Democratic national convention Of 1913
q resolution was passed to the effect
that in balloting for presidential nom
inee each state should be entitled to as
many votes as the same state'had in the
electoral college, and that the delega-
ton Of each state should decide how it
would cast its vote.
Very early in the history Of electing
delegates to a presidential convention
grew up the practice Of instructing
those delegates how to vote. Att
Democratic convention Of 1860 a reso-
luton was passed allowing each dele
gate from a state to cast his Individual
vote for whom he pleased as presiden-
tial nominee, provided the state conven-
ton had not instructed its delegates in
regard to the choice Of candidates. AS a
AAAeSoOOA VI 1CScs 44OWSfO1 ~ Ii Ull0 CIlSUOlu
Of the states to instruct their delega-
tions to cast their solid ballot for Civ
en- candidate. Practically a Democratic
state delegation is one Individual with
a given number Of votes, all to be cast
for the same candidate.
The effect is peculiar. IF state has
q delegation composed Of Is members
and Of them desire one candidate,
while the other Z want another, no mat
ter how bitterly the two factions may
be opposed to one another, still the Is
votes Of the state in the nominating
convention must be cast solid for the.
man whom the swami. This is carrying
majority rule to such a stretch that a
delegates vote is frequently actually
counted for a man whom he hates and
has opposed with all his might
This year, in view of the differences
Of opinion existing in the Democratic
party on the silver question, the conven-
tion will probably be one Of the most
exciting on record

Pretty Mean.

A rich man lately died and left will
which divided $342, 671.94 among his
sorrowing widow and his apparently
not at all sorrowing children. It was
found that he had left by will $50,
672.83 apiece to his three children. One
of his children was daughter, which
makes the sequel more surprising. Aft
er the money had been allotted it was
proposed to erect a monument to the
father who had thus provided his duti-
full children with money enough to take
care of them all their lives
Here is where the queer part comes
in. The widow and the executor wanted
a monument that would cost So, 900.
This was no great sum to be assessed on
themselves by the sons and daughter Of
a father who had just left them so much
money. Appropriating the odd hundreds
and leaving the round sum Of $52, 1000
to each one would have more than paid
for the stone. But, no! Those very pc
culiar children declared one and all that
$500 was enough to spend in honoring
their dead fathers memory, and not a
cent more would they allow. They are
now at law about it. The moral seems
to be that if man wants respectable
looking tombstone he would better build
it himself before he dies. Even then his
children might slice the marble off to
make tiling fer their bathroom floors.

We always call attention to a man
when his honest efforts are crowned
with success, whether in business or
otherwise, and for this reason we
, mention Mr.. Nelson, our popular
photographer, who has been doing
business here for nearly a year. Of
all the different photographers which
we have had here permanently or tenn
porarily there has never been one who
has given such general satisfaction nor
met with such favor among the citizens
OF Princeton and the people Of the sur
rounding country. Quite often we
see on Saturdays, when Mr.. Nelson is
here, loads of people who have come
here from distance of 20 or Is miles
to have their pictures taken, and best
of all Mr.. Nelson deserves this patron
age. He is an artist of fine ability,
and understands how to make picture,
artistic in effect and permanent in it's
keeping qualities. Besides this he is
an honest, reliable man, and it is nat
ural that he should meet with success
I wherever he goes. Mr.. Nelson owns
and operates three photo studios, one
at Anoka, being his headquarters and
home studio, one at Lindstrom, and
his studio here in Princeton where YOU
will lind him every Saturday. He is
4 just introducing q new style of photo
graphs known as the Hdull finish, Q
which are elegant, samples OF which
]. you can see at the entrance to his
studio here any day.

Electricity is slowly but surely work
ing up to the time when it will do
something for the farmer. Near Leipsic
an electrical machine has been devised
that will successfully do the work Of
blowing a field, that, too, more cheaply
than horse Or steam power can do. The
system used is that Of the trolley. Where
an electrical wire runs along the high
way the power can be taken from that.
Where there is none, however, the power
must be developed by a steam traction
engine that is run into the field. A dy-
namo is connected with it which fur
nishes the force that runs the plow. A
driver sits upon the plow to guide and
steady it. From its mere description the
thing seems to be rather clumsy, as it
requires two plows before and the
other behind. When one runs deep into
the furrow, the other is tilted up into
the air: The driver sits upon the rear
pillow. The pillow is connected with the
dynamo by a CABLE which conveys the
current. Why does not Edison or Tesla
or some gifted American invent a sim
pie electric pillow?
