lis it any wonder that the people Of
Princeton and vicinity have friendly
feeling for James J. Hill? Ingratitude
is the basest of sins. Princeton people
are not ungrateful. Who has contrib
uted more toward the material pros
perity of Princeton, Milaca and Mile
Laos county than James J. Hill? To
him and to his affable son Louis W.
Hill (who by the way is chip off the
old block are we mainly indebted for
the commodious depot in which we are
here assembled Demagogic politi-
clans may rant and rave. but I for one
will never join in senseless denuncia-
ton Of the man who has done SO much
for the town and county I love SO well.
But, ladies and gentlemen, you did
not come here this evening to listen to
prosy speeches, and will conclude by
proposing three cheers for James J.
Hill, the man who has contributed
more to the prosperity of our town, our
county and of northern Minnesota than
all of the time-serving politicians that
could be stacked up in forty-acre
feld.'
At the conclusion of Mr.. Dunn's
speech dancing was announced at Jes-
mer's opera house, to which place all
present were conducted in sleighs, and
in a few minutes the floor of the opera
house was crowded and all were dane
ing to the music of Galichio's orchestra,
and the merry dance went on until A.
M. at which time the special train for
Milaca people left the depot for home.
Supper was served at the CONNER
cial hotel and it fed over 225 people
during the evening. Manager Burrell
deserves great credit for the supper he
served and the manner in which the
same was served. The menu consisted
of oyster soup, coffee, biscuits, celery,
olives, cold turkey, beef tongue and
ham, salad, and cake and ice cream.
The chef de cuisine certainly was not
lacking in any of the essentials of the
culinary art. ..-. r.

way. Mr.. Burns remarks were made
IN happy and interesting vein. He
prefaced his address by expressing the
pleasure it gave him to visit Princeton
on such an occasion. The construction
OF such depot was suggestive of pros.
perlty on the part of Princeton and of a
friendly relationship existing between
the Great Northern and the people OF
Princeton. Mr.. Burns spoke of the re.
lationship Of corporations and the pub
lie and the necessities of communities
and trade and commerce that create
corporations which are becoming OF
such far reaching Importance. They
are becoming SO general that people
must OF necessity deal with them. Not
Wlthstanding the hue and cry about
the soulless corporations they have be.
come an absolute necessity and they
are the creatures of the people who
control them. Cities and villages are
corporations and communities are oh.
liged to organize as such under the
laws in order to do business and CARRY
out the wishes Of the people. All great
industries existed as corporations for
the purpose Of doing business. The

pertation system that would in wears to
come be a monument to his life work.
A laughable incident occurred while
Mr. NJ Burns WAS telling about the scenes
of JOY and sorrow that happened at rail
way stations and just as he was telling
about the alfectionate kiss of welcome
or goodbye as the word kiss left his
lips the electric light in front of him
went out with 8 pop and made short
circuit which put out all the lights in
the building for a time. It all hap
pened with dramatic effect. Two kero-
sene lamps were brought in and the
speaker was obliged to finish his re-
marks in partial darkness. The kiss
ing incident did not discomfort him in
the least and in closing he formally
rendered the station to the people of
Princeton.
Rev. w. E. J. Gratz followed Mr..
Burns and he referred to the isolated
condition of Princeton before the adj
vent of the railroad and of the growth
and development of Princeton and the
country about her since the railroad
was built. By pretty smile he lik-
ened Mr.. Hills great transportation
projects to the story of the Greek god
dess in whose pathway there was al
ways to be found a tracing of flowers,
and in the pathway of the great rail-
road builder were innumerable rail-
ways penetrating Minnesota, the Dako-
tas, Montana and beyond to the waters
of the Pacific, all helping the country
to blossom and bloom with fertile fields
and prosperous cities and towns.
Hon. W. I. Nolan, who was next in
troduced, fitted in very we'll at this
particular time and his droll wit and
story telling convulsed the audience
with laughter. Mr.. Nolan has been
before a~Princeton audience before and
the people of Princeton are always
glad to hear him. His legislative du-
ties have not sobered him in the least,
but on the contrary have placed a
keener edge than ever on his clever
wit and satire. --.-.. ~-..
Hon. II. F. Barker complimented the
people of Princeton on their beautiful
new station and spoke of how Prince
ton had grown and waxed great. He
referred to the work of the old pioneers,
many of whom have long since passed
away, and told Of their struggles and
hardships in helping build up the COM
munity.
The last speaker was Hon. r. G.
Dunn, who spoke as follows:
"Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentle
men: It affords me great pleasure to
meet with my old friends and neighbors
on this suspicious occasion. The dedi-
cation of this modern railroad depot to
public use marks an epoch in the his
tory of Princeton. The erection of
such a splendid structure by the con-

his legislative duties and come up and
see Princeton and her new depot. His
looks do not belle his statements for he
has the appearance Of being a man Of
his word and with will of his own.
The depot was found to be too damp
and cold for the dance. The walls had
been kalsomined during the day and
while the crowd was arriving a great,
deal OF cold air was let into the waiting
rooms and it was thought best to have
the dance at the opera house.

Guard Assaulted at st. Cloud.

Officer Page, guard at the State re-
tormatory and who is in charge of the.
cell house at night, was the victim of
vicious assault Saturday night But.
for the fortunate turning of his head at
just the critical moment he would un-
doubtedly have been killed by an in
mate who made the assault with the
Intention of perpetrating his own es-
cape and perhaps that of others.
Officer Page was busy unlocking a
number of the cells early Saturday
evening in the cell house, the inmates
released being at work gathering the
laundry from, the cells. He was in the
act of unlocking cell door when an in
mate crept up behind him and dealt
him a blow with a hammer which he.
had stolen and concealed in the cell
house. Providentially the officer
turned hslead a. the eas :t ia rtonacas
and received only a glancing blow.
He turned and the man struck at him
a second time with the hammer. The
officer closed with his murderous as
sailant and wrested the hammer from
him, when the prisoner struck, at him
with his fist. A fierce but brief en-
counter followed, Page getting the bet
ter Of the criminal and he then ran
about the cell room, being finally over
powered and locked up. Several men
were at work in the cell house at. the
time but neither by their acts nor their
expressions was sympathy for the in
mate manifested but rather for the Of

Our Fighting Strength.

There are 1888, 1876 men of requisite
age and physically fitted to bear arms
in defense of the United States. These
available fighters are outside regular
army and militia organizations of the
states and territories. This ,informa-
ton was laid before congress by Adit
Gen. Corbin. The number of men al
lied with militia organizations is 1l8.
259. Gen. Corbin's report makes no
statement other than the giving of
tables showing the militia STRENGTH
and the unorganized strength of The
various states and territories.
