Governor Shaw has received and
endorsed to the state treasurer a
warrant for $1o.24s.7o for aid for the
Soldiers home at Marshalltown. 1t
is the quarterly allos7ance for the
period ending June 30, 1900, but it is
not quite the full amount, as the APP
preparation has not been all provid-
ed for. The full amount of the quar-
terly allowance from the governments
is $12,1OO.

Joseph Sawyer is in trouble again

prietor of the hotel at Foreston. Thew
were brought to Princeton charged
with raping Mrs. Moses Mitchell, of
foreston, and were taken before judge
Dickey. After hearing the evidence.
most OF which was too vile for publica-
tion, the judge held them to the grand
jury, fixing the bonds at $1,000. This
they will find it difficult to secure. .
The victim in this case is married
woman OF mature years, but owing to
a severe and long continued illness is
not right mentally and the men in the
case took advantage of her condition
and in the darkness were able separ-
ately to induce her to believe she was
being visited by her husband, who was
absent but daily expected home.
Strong testimony against the accused
was given by two reputable citizens of
Foreston to whom the dastards boasted
of the deed.
Sawyer was sent to the reformatory
year or two ago charged with high
way robbery and was recently released
on parole. He will undoubtedly be
taken back by the St. Cloud authori-
ties as soon as the matter is brought
to their attention.
Greenough is recent arrival in the
county, having come here from the
vicinity OF St. Cloud about a year ago.
He purchased the hotel at Foreston
from Moses Cone when the latter re-
moved to St. Cloud. Both the defen-
dants are married men.

carriers on the new rural free delivery
routes, commenced their labors last
Monday morning They report that
everything is running smoothly con-
sidering the novelty of the, service.
There are two things which the patrons
have notgot on to yet. One is that
wherever a letter is delivered along
the route of this service it must bear
two-cent stamp and the other is that to
guard against all errors it is necessary
| that their correspondence be addressed
to the Princeton Office in care of route
No. or 2 as the case may be. This is
important and the patrons should at
tend to it at once.
Many of the patrons of the routes
have put up boxes which are far from
! acceptable to the government and
these will have to be changed if they
desire to enjoy the benefits of the SER
vice. The best plan is to get one of
the metal boxes which will cost some
thing like sl.O0 or $3.50 and will last
for a lifetime Another thing which
will greatly lessen the work OF the
carriers if carried out would be the
display Of a signal flag by the patrons
when their boxes contain mail which
they wish the carrier to collect. When
the carrier has no mail for the box he
may miss it and the outgoing mail
will remain there until the next trip.
Serious Accident.
AS Mr.. Oscar Wilson, Mr. McLain,
Mrs. Allen Blain and her infant were
coming home from Princeton on Satur-
day, Sept. %, bringing a coffin for Mrs.
McLain, the pole of the wagon came
down and the whiftletrees striking the
horses caused them to run. They
had not gone far when one of the front
wheels gave way, precipitating the oc-
cupants into the ditch. Mr. Wilson
received some severe bruises, and is
slowly recovering. Mrs. Blain had
her left elbow dislocated. Medical aid
was secured and she is improving.
Little Georgiebell Blain received a
bruise on the head which resulted in
death Sabbath morning Sept. 2S. His
age was two months and one day.

THE RIDDICK CASE.

The commonwealth closed its case 10
the Riddick trial at Lswrenceville yes
terday morning, aud the remainder oi
the day was taken up with the exsm;-
nation of Rev. Joseph Ii. Riddick, fatt
or of the prisoner. He was kept on the
stand for several hours and subjected
to a most rigid cross-examina alton. The
defense is trying hard to prove the &C
cused insane. In order to do so some
painful family matters have to be made
public.
According to the father insanity is
not uncommon among the Rid1icks.
It developed that the son had some un-
pleasantness with his father, which is
all attributed to his diseased mind. On
cross xamination K the father had TO tell
that he and all his family opposed the
marriage of his son, but since the mar
riaee, he said, they had all loved Mrs.
Riddick and treated her as q member oil
the family. The commonwealth's last
witness gave very damaging evidence
Some of the insanity experts will be on
hand today.
w. House, the constable to whom
Riddick surrendered, testified that be
was not at ell excited, but referred to
the killing ss good deed. To W. w.
Read Mr.. Riddlck stated that he did
not know whether he had done right
or wrong in shooting DR.. Temple. He
told the officers that if they would let
him 90 by the parsonage he would ask
his wife q few questions, and satisfy
! himself as to whether or not he bad
acted in the right. Mr.. Riddick was
taken to the parsonage, and went into
his wife's room. Witness was on the
outside. He heard the preacher say
something to his wife, but could not
understand what it was. He heard
Mrs. Riddck's reply. which was "Dr.
Temple never used those words in my
room" Mr.. Riddick replied: "Then
have shot him in the wrong"
After leaving the parsonage MIR.
Riddick asked Robert Powell to 90
back and tell his wife to have nothing
to say about the case, and he would
make a fuller statement himself. de
told the officer that he had asked bis
wife certain questions, and had ascer'
tanned that he had done wrong in shoot
ing DIR. Temple.
The court adjourned until today.

HICKS FOR JUNE.

All the pls GETS except Mare and Nep.
tune will be with the earth on the same
side of the sun this month. We frankly
admit We cannot ~ with positive assur-
ance what the effect will be upon our
globe, but we believe that peculiar at
mospheric and electrical conditions will
necessarily exist durirg June.
The 1st and 2nd days of June tempera.
ture will rise; barometer will fall with
tendency to thunder storms. Cooler
clearing weather by the 9th and 6 b,
The moons first quarter on the 5.b,
apogee and equatorial passage will pre-
cepitate the regular Vulcan storm peri
cd from the in to 10Th, causing a rapid
rise in temprature and storms early in
the period. The 11th and 18th are al
nually the center of another at parox-
sym of electric and magnetic disturb
snces which will probably be prolonged
over the full moon on the 18th to the
18Th and 14th and 18th. We predict
That continued June showers will visit
most sections for many days at this
time. From the 5h to 26h will con.
stitute the summer for this month.
The 21st OF June beipg the date on
which the sun is highest 10 the northern
hemisphere, henc, the longest day and
shortest night and the centre ofthe SUM-
Del's most general and brilliant light
ming displays. 1t will be wise to watch
the storm clouds about Monday the 10th
10 Thursday the 2lst.
Ia ell probability wave of high bar
ometric pressure will flow in from the
northwest causing very cold weather
from the 2lst to 24.b. A marked reac.
ion to wa,mer may be expected in loca
parts OF this and other counties, with
phenomenslly cool days In other
localities.
This condition will be peculiarly fav-
orsble for the development Of hail and
thunder storms, with tornado tendeD-
cies 10 many localities. June goes out
the first age OF returning storm pc
liod, first stage" mt aning that change
to warmer, easterly to southerly winds
and falling barometer are setting 10, pre-
liminary to cloudiness and storms.
We will conclude these June forecast'
with the closing sentence of our June
forecasts in our almanac for 1900: "The
South will have rain to spare this month /.
Drought will not be serious this early IL
most other sections, especially central
parts.
