and the plaintiff in complaint ALLEGED
default in payment. The land it is said
was originally secured by Geo. H. War

certificate issued in 1889 and Mr.. War

claimed by Locke's attorneys that Mrs.
PARROT had no valid title to the land
because it was alleged that the tax title
was invalid, and that one Martin W.
Hanks began an action against the
Warrens for possession of the property.

Northern Minnesota Potatoes.

N. G. Austin of Park Rapids, who is
representing the Mccormick people in
this section, is a potato enthusiast and
he says that there is no reason why the
farmers around Park Rapids cannot
raise potatoes and just as good potatoes
as are raised around Princeton. Mr..
Austin last year raised 1000 bushels on
four and half acres Of land near Park
Rapids and this year he has thirteen
acres planted, ten to Carman No. , and
three to Burbanks. He SAYS much of

A Board of Health Topic.

Considerable complaint is being made
because of the manure that is being
dumped in the river near the Sadley
mill, and some OF the people who cross
the bridge and live close to the same
say that they don't see why the author
tiles allow such lot OF manure to be
dumped in the river at that point. It
is bad practice to dump manure in the
river at any point. The garbage, car
casses, and filth and corruption that has
been dumped on the sides of the en-
bankment of the road running east from
the mill is also a nuisance and disease
breeder. The local board OF health
ought to put stop to such practices

THE FOURTH OF JULY.
The Business lien of Princeton Will
Take the Celebration One of
Best Ever Held Here.
Grand List of Attractions and Sports
and AmuSements OF all Kinds
"A Day of Pleasure.

The committees who have in charge
the arrangements for the celebration
OF the Fourth at Princeton are getting
along in good shape. At the meeting
last Monday night very favorable re-
ports were made. Tom Scheen. who
went to the twin cities to secure some
good attractions reported that he had
secured some attractions that are pro-
nOunceG tirst-class. He has secured
the famous Imperial trio of acrobats,
which will give some very clever per-
forlnances, among them the famous
''three-brother act: He also secured
Prof. Fox, the celebrated hand equil-
ibrist, with Irish jigs and reels and
Prof. La Dare, the balancing trapeze
performer. In addition to these he
also secured the famous North Star
colored quartette, one of the best
colored quartettes in the twin cities,
which will sing about town all day and
evening.
The committee on sports and amuse-
ments reported a good program for the
day, including such catchy features as
the creased pole and creased pig, foot
races, wheelbarrow races, fat mans
race. a game of basket ball, prizes for
the best floats and makeups for the
parade. etc. The lists of sports and
prizes will be found in the ADVERTISE
ment elsewhere in this issue.
The finance committee reported sub
scrlptiOns amounting to nearly $3.50,
and the total amount of subscriptions
will foot up to at least $500 for the cele-
bration. The sum OF 1926 will be spent
for the outside attractions. which are
pronounced good and ought to draw a
big crowd. It has been found i1npossi-
bic to secure a good outside speaker
for an address and the committee has
decided to dispense with this part OF
the program and has invited c.. A.
Dickev to make al address of welcome
and few brief remarks. There will
be 8 good program rendered without
the speaker.
1t was decided to invest the sum of
SI'5 in fireworks and n. T. Jesmer was
appointed committee to look after
this feature Of the celebration.
It has been decided to erect q LARGE
platform at the Citizens bank corner
that will be large enough to acconmo-
date all the features and attractions of
the day. Here will occur the progran
OF exercises. such as singing. speaking,
etc., and in the afternoon the acrobats.
trapeze performer. equilibrist. etc..
will show at this point. The streets
will be fenced off SO that no vehicles
can get on them and they will be put in
shape for the crowd which can be
easily accommodated at this place.
The day will be ushered in with the
ringing of bells and the booming of an
wills, firing Of guns and a noisy time
generally that will bring to his feet the
Oldest inhabitant. and there will be a
hot time in Princeton until the set
piece, Good Night" goes out in the
darkness.

WANTS OUR MARY
ONCE NOTED ACTRESS OFFER
Ell. 500, 900 FOR READINGS.

New York. June 26-Mary Ander-
son Navarro is seriously considering
an offer of 100000 to emerge from
her long retirement and deliver a
course of dramatic readings in this
country, according to representatives
Of Marcus Mayer, who has made the
offer In the interest of Robert Grau.
The. offer is for the season after next
and contemplstes not less than 80 sp-
pearances.
Such an offer had been made to
Mrs Navarro by letters before, and
she had declined it. It now seems
that Mr.. Mayors powers of persuasion
have proved partly successful, for.
though she has not accepted the large
and tempting proposition, she has by
no means declined, but has promised
to. take it under serious consideration.
In short, she inclines to the idea muo h
moro than sho did at first. The lowest
sum she could make would be 500,
0o0, and it might be great deal
more.

county. Some time ago the town
trustees there refused to put up and
sell q telephone franchise when one
was asked, and Yesterday at called
session Of fiscal court the magistrates
refused to give it a franchise in the

The explanation is that the company
refused to build when asked to q few
years ago, and since then home COM

FISH DENIES
No INCREASE OF l. O. DIVIDEND
Is CONTEMPLATED.

Chicago, June 26-The reports re-
Gently issued to the effect that the IL.
linois Central would increase its divi-
dend TO per cent. at the next divi-
dend meeting OF the board are now
fatty contrsdicted by President Fish.
He is credited with saying;
1.-THE Illinois Central will not in
crease its dividend. That IL absolute.
The road will earn this year between
10 and II per cent on the stock. We
have considered paying quarterly in.
stead Of semi-annunl dividends, but
we will make no change till we have
paid the one hundredth consecutive
dividend on the old plan"
This statement by President Fish
puts an end to the hope many traders
have chung to in their stock market
operations. IL was believed that the
Illinois Central would follow the ex.
ample Of the Northwestern and the
st. Paul. both Of which roads advan ..
ed their common stock dividends from
8 per cent Il within the last year
The Illinois Central's earnings, q,
stated by Mr.. Fish, would seem to be
sufficient to warrant an advance II the
directors deemed 1t consistent with
their conservative policy.
