Wished Them Godspeed,

The members of Princeton Lodge
No. SO, Knights OF Pythias, and their
wives and sweethearts, gathered at the
lodge room last Monday evening to bid
goodbye to Past Chancellor Jesmer
and his estima BILE wife. The evening
was spent in playing progressive cinch,
caroms, and whist, and at II O'Clock
light refreshments were served. While
the party was seated at the tables L. S.
Briggs announced that the partings OF
the lodge would be spoken by c.. A.
Dickey. Mr.. Dickey in few brief
words expressed the regret of the
lodge at the departure of their CO.
worker and their wishes for his future
welfare: and then said he had been
appointed, to inflict coporal punish
ment on Mr.. Jesmer for making the
move and announced that the punish
ment, would be as'scaning..''&s Mr.. Jes-
mer accepted the punishment" and
with considerable emotion thanked the
lodge for the interest they had shown
in his welfare. Mr.. and Mrs. Jesmer
left Tuesday morning for their new
home in Grand Rapids.

THE GOLD ELM"
An Earnest Plea for the Preservation of a
Landmark.

! "A preservation
! Landmark.
Lives there man with soul so dead,
Who never to himself hath said.
This is my own, my native land?' -
For him who has spark of patriot
ism in his breast, there must be at
least one spot in the land of >his ma
tivity around which cluster hallowed
associations. We Of the middle west
have not much to definitely connect US
with the earlier ages of man nor, even,
with the earliest history of our own
country, but we are helping to make
history which at some time, to some
peoples will be a history of the past
and our children, born upon this soil,
must sometime be reckoned among
the ancients. Who can tell how prom
inent place our own pretty little
town may yet occupy in the annals Of
the historian? And, if. there is any
thing, it matters not how seemingly
unimportant, which in any way is con-
lnected with the story of its founding,
should we not take every means for its
perpetuation?
Local history says there is such. It
tells us that the first building erected
on Princeton soil was ashanty owned
by mulatto, and built beneath the
shade Of the old elm " ich stands on

Minnesota Crop Conditions for the Week
Ending ADril %.

minnesota Crop Conditions for the Week
Ending April 22.
A considerable part of the week was
cloudy. The 18th was generally good
day for all field work, but rain set in
late in the day, changing to snow>on
the 10Th in northern, central and west
ern portions, and continuing in south
eastern portions. There were snow
hurries also in central and northern
portions on other days in the week.
The snow fell to depth of from two to
six inches, but it melted rapidly, and
was all gone before the end of the
week. From the 18th to the Goth the
weather was cold, with freezing tenn
peratures at night which froze the
ground so that 10 work could be done
IN the soil in the forenoons. and leav-
ing the ground wet and sticky during
the afternoons. In the Red River
valley work has been much delayed,
and only the high and we'll drained
lands have been seeded; further south
wheat seeding is more advanced, but
little has been done since the 18th.
In the Minnesota valley, the southwest
corner Of the State and the middle
south, wheat seeding is nearing com
pletion, oat seeding is we'll advanced,
some barley has been seeded, and in
few places little fax: potato planting
has been begun, and preparations for
corn planting have been made. ID
southeastern counties the soil is still
wet and very little seeding has been
done. Early sown wheat is beginning
TO show above the ground, but growth
is slow owing to the cold weather..

It is q agnifcent tree, eertainly.the
finest of its kind to be found within the
village limits, at least, and is worthy of
preservation were it for this@reason
alone. How much more then. as the
scene Of our city's birth should this
grand old tree claim our remem brance?
Within the writer's recollection it
stood at the summit Of the bank with
level ground all around it, but the
hood--gates that have. so many times
been opened have looseued and washed
away the soil until now it stands over
the brink. its roots exposed and GER
tain, ultimate destruction threatening.
Will not some enterprising, patriotic
citizen with science at his command
come to its rescue? Arbor Day is at
hand,-cannot something be done upon
that DAY now universally set apart
for the planting and cultivation of
trees, or, if too late now for any con-
certed movement then cannot a date
be named, say one or two weeks hence?
Surely every citizen of Princeton
will be glad to lend a hand, by sug-
gestion, by contribution or by actual
labor in the preservation of our only
historical landmark, the Old Elm.

In sunshine and in gloom;

For ages it hath stood

Stretch forth hand to save
O. save thine aged elm
Now tottering to it's grave!

Tales OF the dusky maid
Wooed by her warrior bold,
Murmuring within thy shade

Who traversed our lone streams wave-
Perchance, who once paused to rest

Thou'st sheltered from year to year,
Who can tell, of the wingsthat roam.

Editor Advertiser: The article con-
corning Miss Dawson and the Buffalo
exposition on the first page of this
mornings issue, as well as the remarks
In the editorial department, appear to
be based on misunderstanding of the
facts
This department has allowed Miss
Dawson every dollar it has been able
to realize on the legislative appfopria-
ton. The appropriation was, it is
true. for thirty five hundred dollars,
but not cent of this could be got form
the Treasury. and no one can tell when
it can be. The only way the depart
ment had of getting any funds at all
for the Buffalo exhibit was to hypothe-
cate the appropriation to one of the
banks and take letter of credit for as
much as the bank was willing to ad-
vance on the security offered. About
three hundred dollars was required to
be paid here for passage money for
Miss Dawson and assistant, leaving in
round numbers some thirty-two hun
dred dollars, on which we were only
able to borrow two thousand dollars
This was got. as above intimated, in
the form of a letter of credit and given

may be almost safely set down
as wanting red in her blood.
If subject to dizziness, fainting,

To want red in the blood is
to fail of the good OF ones food.
Her food is not nourishing her.
She needs a change.
The easiest change she can
get, and one of the best, is

USED PADDLE WRONG
Fatal and Costly Results Follow
Initiation into Secret
Order.

Carbonate, ILL.,, Dec. 29-About
four months ago r. 0. Deacon, a sa-
l%oonkeerer of Deso+o, in this county,
met his death as a result Of being in
itiated into a secret order known as
the Knights of the Royal Arch. Dur
ing the initiatory ceremonies a paddle
about 10 inches long was used in
which was a blank cartridge. The
user on this occasion made a mistake
and used the wrong side, the result
being that the wad of the cartridge
was imbedded in the thigh of Deacon.
causing his death through blood
poisoning about 80 hours later.
His death caused a sensation and as
a result the ritual of the order had to
undergo a change as regards the use
of the paddle.
Mrs. Deacon brought suit to recover
damages against those that participat-
ed in the services on the night her
husband was killed and secured judg-
ment for $1,000. The result of the
trial is not acceptable to either party
and the courts Of last resort will be
called upon to settle the matter.

New York, Dec. 29-The race to
catch the Cunard liner Campania
with the New Zealand and Australian
mail came tn an end successfully
when the New York Central train
from Chicago pulled into the Grand
Central station at $3.50 a. m. today.
The Campan:a sailed from her pier at

Zealand mail aboard.
AS oon as the train greached the
station the mail cars were detached
and backed down into the yard and
the work of getting off the mail be-
gan. There were 900 sacks for the
Campania. Of these 145 sacks were
for New Zealand and the rest for Aus
tralia. In the first wagon which was
waiting 81 sacks were thrown and
the driver instructed to make good
time in reaching the Cunard line pier
at the foot of Twelfth street. The first
wagon left the station at 1884 O'Clock
and reached the pier at II :02. The
second wagon, containing 81 sacks,
left the station at 10:49 o'clock and
arrived at the pier at 11:32. The

NOTE Will Be ACCEPTED
Doubtful That Ii Hung Chang
Can Act Further As
Commissioner.

Pekin, Dec. 29-Sir Robert Hart.
director of Chinese imperial maritime
customs, frequently sees Prince
Ching. He says Prince Ching expects
a definite reply from the court to the
joint note of the powers not before
January 8.
He has not been informed that Ii
Hung Chang has heard from the court
that there ara any objections on the
part of the Chinese to the mainten-
ance Of legation guards Or razing of
the Taku forts, but he would not be
surprised if this were SO. He believes,
however, that the note will be accept
ed in its entirety within a short time.
The Chiness will possibly make a few
futile objections, though he thinks
both Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang
will advise compliance with the note
as it stands.
It is doubtful now whether Ii Hung
Chang will be able to attend the meet
ing Of the diplomats. Signs OF old
age are becoming more pronounced
and the lower portionsof his body is
completely paraiysed, though it is
ofacially anncunced, each day that
