Lodge Room of Princeton Lodge No.
sos, 10. O. FL. S. Bouck charter
member of our lodge, a member of
Hebron Encampment, and identified
with the order for half a century, has
been removed from earth to heaven.
He was an ardent Oddfellow and when
health and strength permitted was
regular in his attendance and took an
active part in the affairs of the lodge;
and in his life fully exemplifed the
cardinal principles of our order, Friend
ship, Love and Truth.
Resolved, that we tender our sympa.
thy with his bereaved family in the
loss we all so deeply deplore. That
our Charter be draped in mourning for
sixty days; that copy of these resolu-
lions be spread upon our minutes, and
published in the Princeton UNION.

St. Francis Corn and Beans,

John S. Hughes of the St. Francis
Canning Co. of St. Francis, MINI. has
sent to friends in Princeton a case of
canned corn and also one of beans
which are the products of the St. Fran
els cannery. The corn and beans have
been pronounced a high grade of
canned product and ought to sell on
any market. Mr.. Hughes is Mary
land packer who understands the bust
ness in all its branches. Princeton
ought to be an inviting field for can
ming industry. There are the natural
conditions of soil tributary to Prince
ton, and with our location and conven-
fence to markets canning industry of
some character ought to be made to
pay here It is worth looking into.

Death of Erastus Fletcher.

Erastus Fletcher, bachelor who
lived on a small farm near Longs
Siding for than twenty years, died at
the home of the Freel's at that place
last Saturday afternoon. He had been
troubled for a long time with a tumor
on his leg and it became so bad he was
sent to Asbury hospital at Minneapo.
lis where the leg was operated on, but
this gave him only temporary relief,
as it became necessary in short time
to amputate the leg, and this did not
stay the deadly fangs of the poison on
his system, and he was told that there
was no help for him and he returned
home and remained with the Freel
family until he died. He was buried
last Sunday. The funeral was held at
the Freel home and the interment was
at Oak Knoll where some years ago Mr..
Fletcher's father was buried. He was
fifty-three years, of age and had lived
in the town of Princeton for twenty.
six years. He has a mother and two
sisters living in the east.

IT has been ascertained by several
experiments that electricity is won
derful agent in increasing the fertility
of the soil. 1t has been tried by Ger
man market gardeners and this year a
farmer down in Iowa has been doing a
little experimenting with electricity
on seed corn. The news report says:
1.-THE corn was treated in the follow
ing manner: A barrel was filled with
water and piece of zinc placed at the
bottom and at the top of the water.
Then the seed corn was placed in the
water and a, current of 500 volts run
through the barrel for twenty minutes.
The corn was then thoroughly dried
and planted with a drill. Thirteen
acres were planted with this kind of
corn on May II. The land had been
planted to corn for nine consecutive
years. The corn averages eight feet
in height and will yield seventy-five
bushels to the acre, nearly double the
yield of the fields Immediately sur
