Camp No. 1 Awarded the Prize.

The final event of encampment week
took place this afternoon, when the
prize drill Was called at 1:3O o'clock.
To save the spectators long walk
the drill was held on Main Street in
front of the Commercial Hotel. At
the appointed hour Camp |, of St.
Paul, marched upon the scene. headed
by music, and was the only camp to
enter the competition. Captain Paul
E. Heninger comma nded, with Lieu
tenants DAILY and Willis assisting.
The boys lined up in splendid manner,
with a true soldierly appearance. The
program was a lengthy one, including
the manual of arms, foot movements,
bayonet and firing exercises. The
drill of the camp showed the vast
amount of work performed by No. |
during the past few months, for the
boys confidently expected to meet with
competition on the appointed drill
day. Almost every nj ght for three
months past has found the members of
the camp at their posts, working like
beavers to perfect themselves in their
drill and they would have much pre-
ferred to have met competitors in Or
der to sustain their old time reputa-
ton as prize winners.
However, the spectators were amply
rewarded for coming out to witness the
performance. The weather Was cool
andfavorable and it is not often that
the people of Princeton have an oppor-
tunity to see so complete military
performance as was given this AFTER
noon. The uniforms and equipments
of the company were in splendid con-
dition for inspection. AS there was no
competition, local committee acted as
judges, as a matter of form,
but insisted on a given per-
centage of perfection, which was
fully reached by camp /, demonstrate
ing that the boys would have defeated
competitors, had they put in an ap-
pearance. The prize offered for the
competitive drill was a cash one of
800, and the amount was awarded the
Camp upon the conclusion of the drill,
adding another victory to the already
long list of triumphs of the St. Paul
Company. Considering the efforts put
forth by the boys, their patience in
perfecting themselves in the work, the
award was a just one.
Local and visiting members of the
order, who witnessed the exhibition il
large numbers, congratulated the St
Paul Camp upon their excellent show
ing and watched the work with keen
interest.

A PRESENTATION.
Mrs. Rose ID. Patterson Remembered by
the Division This Morning.


the Division This Morning.
A pleasing finale of encampment
week came this morning when an
event occurred, not anticipated nor on
the program. This was in the nature
of presentation to Mrs. Rose D. Pat
terson, the retiring division president
of the Ladies Aid Society, of beauti-

enamel. The pin bar is gold backed,
with black enameled face, upon which
is raised the American Eagle, pendant
from this is a tiny gold Shield, with
the inscription Past Division Presi-
dent Suspended by the regulation
ribbon of the order is the badge
proper, made of gold and white enam
eled facings. The letters L. A. S. S.
V. are worked upon the facings in
raised gold. On the reverse side is
engraved "Presented to Mrs. Rose D.
Patterson by the Minnesota Division,
1897" The testimonial is one that will
be cherished by the recipient as long
as life shall last and is a most deserved
token for Mrs. Patterson, who during
the two years of her presidency has

of the order in this State and has had
two most successful administrations,
during which many new societies we're
esta blished and new members added.
The members of both encampments
met in joint session at the hall Of the
L. A. S. convention especially for the
purpose. President Mrs. Stodieck in
calling the gathering to order said that
she had a few grievances against Sis
ter Patterson and now was the oppor-
tunity to get even. THE latter has
borne the hard work along with the
flowers Of the division, I therefore pre-
sent you with this little token of our
love and esteem and wear it over a
heart ever as true and loyal as in the
past. All we feel is expressed in this
little token,' said the president. Mrs.
Patterson, overcome with her feelings
of gratitude, replied but briefly, saying
that what she had done for the divis-
ion she had done freely and gladly and
if she had done anything detrimental
she regretted it. Then she heartily
thanked the members of the order for
the precious gift.
| Remarks were then made by several
brothers present, among them Geo.
Hargrave, of Duluth, Col. Milham,
Col. Sheire, Col. Kelly and others who
spoke encouragingly of the Ladies' Aid
| and their work. The joint session then
came to close, having been one OF the
most pleasing features of the encamp-

The following insurance board was
elected: For three years term, Col. L.

years term, Capt. Adams, of Mime

This concluded the business on hand
and, after the installation of the new
officers, the encampment closed in
proper form and adjourned sine die.
We are sorry about the flag episode
last night. The whole affair has been
unduly magniied. The boys meant no
harm, and certainly they meant no dis
respect to the aag-the flag which any
one of them would gladly lay down his
life to defend from insult. Say no more
about it. Sons of Veterans, members

THE CLOSING SESSION.
The closing session of the encamp-

been committed the previous night, in

village did not believe that the Sons Of
Veterans were guilty. The encamp-

LOOK OUT FOR RAIN AND MUD.
Weatherman Paine Says the Air Is
Full of Dampness.

Rain, mud and slpsh must newt
ably be the lot of this region during
the coming spring" is the doleful pre-
diction of II. f. Paine, the governments
local weather guesser. The Dreciplta-
tion this winter, he says, has been far
below the average, and when the damp
ness doesn't come down in the winter
1t must necessarily get back to earth
in the spring. We should have about
three and one-half inches of snow or
rain or both in each of the winter
months, but only two of them, Janu-
airy and February, have come any
where near the average.
Natures underground reservoirs are
far from being filed, Mr.. Paine says.
and should anything occur that would
prevent the spring months from bring
ing down the moisture, we would suf-
fer a drought in this region during the
coming summer. He is of the opinion,
however, that the drought is a far off
