FOR FAR MERS' TEAMS
An Iowa Farmer Thinking of Building
Large Shed Where Farmers
Can Leave Their Teams.
Would Also Build Rest Room for the
Comfort and Convenience of
Farmers Families.

O. D. Barrett of Wallengford, Iowa,
who recently bought the George Town
send farm, was in Princseton the past
week, returning home Tuesday. Mr..
Barrett is at present farming over 900
acres in Iowa, and is one of the pros
porous farmers of that state. He is
we'll pleased with his investment in
this section and hopes to move here
as soon as he can get in shape to do
SO. While looking over Princeton he
came to the conclusion that the place
their wives where they might enjoy
all the comforts of home, and in con-
nection with this a place where farm
erS' teams could be cared for without
any worry or anxiety on the part of
the farmers. Mr.. Barrett said that in
the little city Of Esterville, Iowa, they
have such place and it is greatly ap-
preciated by the farmers who all pat
ronize it. He thinks that if he can
secure d suitable place for sheds and
buildings he will build such a place
for the accommodation of the farmers
and he is quite certain that in a short
time they would patronize it quite gen.
orally.
Mr.. Barrett's idea is to secure room
enough SO that he. can build a shed
large enough to accommodate all the
farmers who might wish to have their
teams cared for and to also build a
very comfortable place where the
women could make headquarters and
have all the comforts, such as wash
rooms and toilet rooms, waiting
rooms, provided with plenty of easy
chairs, reading matter. etc. The shed
would be built square with stalls and
feed boxes, and a man would be placed
in charge of all teams and property
that might be left there. A small
charge of ten cents wonld be made for
caring for the teams and robes, blank
cts, and such things as the farmers
might buy and place in their wagons
before starting home. There would
be no danger of losing anything in
this way and it would certainly be of
great convenience and accommodation
to farmers.
With such a place as this for farm
ers' teams there would be no need for
hitching posts strung along the streets
and there would be no unsightly piles
OF manure nor mud holes along the
streets. Mr.. Barrett should 60 right
ahead and build his feed sheds and
rest rooms as they are much needed
in Princeton.

Hrea<man Cre,nated i'll Wreck at Elk

In d railroad wreck at Elk River on
Wednesday of last week Frank
Knowles. a brakeman who lived in
Minneapolis. was caught in the ca
hoose and was burned to DEATH
Freight number tifty-fve was on the
main track of the Northern Pacific
when the midnight flyer, which was
late, came around sharp curve and
telescOped the caboose and car of
merchandise, which Immediately took
fire. Knowles was pinned in the ca

could not be rescued on account of the
heat. Harry Knowles, conductor of
the freight. was frantic in his effort
to rescue his brother from the burn

CURED passengers on the flyer were
thrown from their seats and berths
and that none of them were hurt was
due to the engineer, who applied the
air. The flyer was DELAYED several
hours.

He was assigned to the cruiser New

Some time after the New Orleans
reached Santiago the ships coal sup

given to proceed for Key West for a
fresh supply Of fuel. A launch was
left behind to serve as a picket and
among its crew was the Minneapolis
boy. The New Orleans had been away
but short time when the Spanish
fleet was sighted. The Oregon picked
up the little party in the launch and
Fireman Knowles participated in the
battle.
After the capture of Admiral Ger

join his old cruiser, the New Orleans
which then sailed for Porto Rico.
Knowles was transferred to the Solace

Later he was transferred to the gun

Many scientists are working on the
problem of producing an efficient arti-

OF lighting by electricity are exceed

all of it going to the production of the

A Great Calamity,


A Great Calamity.
1.-The greatest calamity that has be-
fallen this nation,'' said prominent
victim of the ''slump," was the death
of President Mckinley. Instead of a
prudent, wise, conservative statesman
in the presidency we have a rash. err
ratio. dabster in politics, playing the
part of politician and verging on the
methods of the demagogue. 1.-The
loss of Mckinley is severely felt in
the senate" said a member of that
august body who, in the privacy of
confidence, speaks a different senti-
ment from that which he permits for
quotation. MIR. Mckinley appre-
ciated the relations of senators and
president, and recognized always the
rights of senators and their share with
him in making appointments. This
young man, who came by accident of
assassination into McKinley's place,
either does not understand or disre-
CARDS the peculiar delicacy of those
relations and actually insists. in this
matter Of appointments to office, that
the responsibility is his. and his is
the final decision. 1t is very irritat-
ing to senator's to have confirmation
of their appointments refused by the
president. It has a very bad effect at
hOme.''
And SO it goes. In New York. in
financial centers, among industrial'
interests and in Washington one may
hear sentiments such as those quoted.
The manufacturer of securities. which
the public either refused to digest or
which it could not digest, was hardly
conscious, in his resentment over dis
appointed expectations, of the light in
which his contrast of the two presi-
dents put the man whose death he
lamented. Craftsmanship, from the
point Of view of that class, is absti-
nence from interference with violation
of law when captains of industry and
Nap0leOnS OF finance are manipulate
ing the market. A generation ago
another of this class made vigorous
protest to committee of congress
against the interference of the execu-
tive with ''business'' of the Street.
There never was such prostration as
has settled over this thirty five or
forty millions of people, he said.
II am now speaking to illustrate what
this man Grant has brought US to-. :"
The indignant financier was Jim Fisk,
Jr., and the interference was the order
of Grant to the secretary of the treas
ury to sell gold, with the result of
breaking the corner on gold which
Fisk and Gould had formed, and
which eliminated in that eventful

The feature of the game was the

NED HANLON SIGNS
HUGHEY JENNINGS
Will Probably Hold Down First Base
for the Trolley Dodgers"

Hughey Jennings. who Is one Of the
greatest ball players that ever donned
a uniform. signed a contract with Ned
HanIon Friday night TO play with the
Brooklyn team for the remainder OF the
season.
Hanlon IS undecided where he will
play Jennings, but it is thought he will
put him on first base. send Doyle to
second. and put Flood in right field in
place OF McCreedie. The latter is not
playing the game that Haulon expected
OF him and the prospects are that the
lanky Californian will be used as a
utility man.
With Jennings on the team, it is safe
TO say the Trolley Dodgers will show
renewed ginger and also win more
games at z stretch than they have been

was accepted without change Dues in
the association were fixed at 50 per

Mr.. DeGraw explained that there were
several propositions about a speedway

sum of $4,000 he raised by subscription
to build a permanent speedway on the
reclaimed land of the Potomac flats. to
serve until Congress -appropriates the
money for a permanent driveway

Another suggestion, and one that met
with general approval, was That the
District Commissioners he asked to take
the speed limit on good. level section

and let that serve the purpose until
