Money is king.

To the Editor: In a few more. days
our people will be celebrating the an.
niversary of the declaration of Ameri-
can Independence. A liberty loving
people rebelled against the dictation
of kingly power. Glorious epoch,
fraught with historic interest.
Upwards of a century has elapsed,
and again are the liberties of the peo-
pie threatened. A new ruler has
Iarisen whose power seems .omnipotent
controls legi il brides oul
courts, It debauche the people Its
approaches are insidious, it's grasp
tenacious, its voracity Unsuitable, its
power puissant, its triumph paralysis.
It spreads its tentacles to the utter
most parts of the Union; it invades
the home, it pollutes the church, it en-
slaves the nation.
Money is that king! At its COM
mand our press is muzzled, our pulpits
silent, our courts swayed, our congress
| corrupted. At it's command the rights
and liberties of indiyiduals are sub
orned by the power of injunction. At
its command men are imprisoned, as
was Debs, without lawful conviction
preceded by Indictment and trial by
jury. At it's command, our courts
have so construed the doctrine of con-
tributory negligence as renders it nigh
impossible for claimant to recover
damages from a corporation for per-
sonal injuries inflicted. At its COM
mand, the supreme court of the United
States reversed its own decisions of a
century, that aggregated capital might
escape paying its fair share Of the bur-
dens of taxation. ~
It makes our legislators. not the peo-
ple's servants, but monopoly's hire
lings. It forms gigantic sugar
and other trusts that exact
millions of the peoples money.
It upholds national banking
association that dictates and controls
the financial legislation Of this mighty
nation. It strikes down one-half Of
the currency of the country for its own
aggrandizement It induces congress
men to betray their trusts and vote
away the rights and liberties of the
people. It curtails the wages of the
working man, and dissipates the profits
of the husbandman. It's encroach-
ment upon the liberty Of the individ-
ual are SO constant and dangerous, that
republican Institutions threaten to 90
down before moneyed corporations.
It's corrupting influence has plunged
into bankruptcy andsruin people once
prosperous, happy and free.
All hail, King Gold! This is your
reign, and the creatures of your crea
tion-co corporations, monopolies and
trusts. But the day will soon dawn
Tor the common man who will insist
upon restoring the primitive simplicity
of the republic and establishing the
struggling, depressed, unhappy masses
Of the people in a land literally, not
nominally, free; when liberty and
equality will be the goals of the human
race. Then the standard of manhood
will be raised and Gods bright sun
shine will encompass a happy, CON
tented and prosperous people

PRINCETON LOST.

saL$ PIayers

Kennedy Didn't Do Ting to Our Ball
Players.
The Princeton boys went to Elk
River last Friday to meet the boys
from that town in a friendly game of
ball and came home with their plumage
badly disarranged. Elk River had se-
cured the services of Kennedy, Min
sneapolis twirler and he mad the Prince
ton batters at his mercy. For four in.
nings the score stood 2 to Q in favor of
Elk River and in the fifth Princeton
managed to score one run. Then Elk
River began to draw away and at the
close the score was IL to in her favor
The Princetonites hit the ball freely
but in bad luck and their fielding
game was not up to its usual standard.

The grains in this vicinity are all
looking well. One farmer reported
that the only thing that he could see.
to preventsa bounteous harvest was the
lodging OF the grain caused by its rank
growth. Rye will be ready to harvest
next week and from then on the sound
of the sickle will be heard. The i'm
plement dealers are enjoying a very
good trade and almost every farmer
finds it necessary to invest in one or
more pieces of new machinery. The
old crop of hay has not yet been en-
tirely disposed, considerable of it be-.
ing shipped this week.
The Princeton union., 1896-07-02

A week from next Sunday will un-
doubtedly witness the greatest ball
contest which has ever been pulled off
in Princeton. It will be between the
Fats, captained by Pooler, and the
Leans, commanded by Palmer, and will
| be for blood and gate receipts. The.
proceeds the boys propose to donate to
the first nine, it having become ap-
parent to them that the treasury will
need replenishing before business
really begins.
The committee which has charge of
the celebration at VIM. Carmody's
grove on the Fourth announces that
among the numerous attractions there
will be bicycle and pony races, a ball
game and other sports. A bowery has
been erected and a dance will be given
both in the afternoon and at night.
Booths will also be conducted on the
usual Fourth Of July plan where visi-
tors may obtain refreshments.
Rich Patchin's team ran from the
depot Monday afternoon and when in
front of the Townsend building col
lided with a team that was hitched
there smashing both wagons. The
second team broke away and ran
around the corner where it in turn col
lided with another wrecking the third
wagon. No one was injured.
G. Il. Rines says the outlook
for potatoes is all right. The
government reports on the potato
crop will not be issued until
the middle of the month and all
articles SO far published are based on
guessWork. While he does not pre-
dict high prices he thinks the crop
will be a profitable one for the farmers.
@ The Lord IS supper will be observed
at the Congregational church next
Sunday morning. Let every member
of the church be present. Christians
of other communions vii also be vel
coined to unite with US in this service
of obedience. The evening topic is
christian Courtship.

Two Bodies Accidently Discovered In an
Express-Box.
Washington, Feb. ia big box left
at the Baltimore and Ohio depot in this
city to be forwarded by express bore
two addresses, and the employees of the
express company were in doubt as to
where it should be sent. They finally
opened 1t and discovered the bodies Of
two women, entirely nude. One was
that Of an old colored woman and the
other that Of a white woman about
twenty-five years Of age.
After working for some time on the
murder theory. the detectives came to
the conclusion that the bodies had
been shipped by grave robbers. 1t was
learned that a regular system exists
for the shipping of bodies stolen from
the cemeteries about Washington. The
work has been carried on with aston
ishing boldness. and dozens Of bodies
have been sent out recently. One of
the addresses on the box opened yester-
day was Angus McLane, No. 223 Pei
ham street, Detroit, Mich, and the
other was that Of a Baltimore party.
Large boxes sent by the same set OF
men have been forwarded to New Hav-
en- and Hartford, Conn. Baltimore and
other cities.

KNIFE DUEL IN CHICAGO.

Brothers Fought to Death While Neigh
bors Looked On.
Chicago, Feb. u.-Herman Dahlka Is
dying of knife wounds, inflicted last
night by his brother Carl in a duel. The
brothers, with their families, met at a
christening at the house Of their sister,
in Blackhawk street, and engaged in a
bitter quarrel. Get out your knife -
cried Herman. "and come into the
yard!'
Pushing the women away, the two
men sprang down the steps to the yard
in the rear Of the house. Each had a
keen-edged pocket knife in his hand.
and with angry cries they jumped at
one another and began slashing. Sud-
denly Herman gave a scream Of agony
and fell, Carl's knife having pierced his
left eye. In the meantime the whole
neighborhood had been aroused. and
men and women gathered along the
fence, watching the deadly duel and not
daring to interfere.
A policeman arrived just too late to
catch Carl, who jumped over the fence
and fled. Herman's face and head were
slashed in a dozen different directions.
and the left eye hung from its socket.
One cut extended from the crown Of
the head to a point below the left eye,
and another cut had torn almost half
the scalp off.

DE AFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infaD1ed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube gets
infamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever, nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
Catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

Prehistoric Horse of the Rockies.

Professor Henry Fairfield Osborn, of
the American Museum of Natural His
tory, in The Century describes the re-
markable fossil remains that are found
near Bridger Lake in the Rockies. He
says:
If we leave the lake shore and pass
into the drier upland we discover the
clever little four-toed horse, swift,
alert, intelligent. He Is, to use the mod
ern measure, only four hands, or
sixteen inches. high. so he would not
reach the knee of the Uintathere, and
could be devoured at one sitting by
the Patriofelis His limbs are as
slender as pencils. His large eyes are
much farther forward than in the
horse. He could readily hide among
the taller stalks and it is possible that
he had the beginning of protective
stripes initiating reed shadows upon
his neck and name. In his hair and
coloring. however, we pass into pure
conjecture. His well-worn, chisel-
shaped front teeth indicate that he
was already cropper or browser and
the evident secret of his triumphant
persistence over his ponderous con-
temporaries is that he learned to
browse just about the time that
grasses began to appear. He was the
animal for the times.

Speed of ELECTRICITY.

1t has long since been conc eded that
the speed of electricity is practically
instantaneous. Sunlight travels TO-
100000 miles minute, and it is be-
lieved by many scientists that the speed
of electricity would be equally as rapid
if we could get the proper me mlium over
which to transmit it, and get all other
conditions in proper shape. In the ex-
periments made from Phila delphia to
Liverpool, in 1890, it was p roven that
with the imperfect apparatus then in
use the speed was 5000 mil es per sec
ond. Some enthusiasts bell eve that it
will eventually be sent around the
world in three seconds, or cover the
distance to the sun in three and one
half minutes.
