CALL A new PASTOR.
The Congregational Church Extends
Call to Rev. John r. Hender-
son of Vermont.
He Will Assume His Pastoral Duties
About July lst--A Young Man
.t Of Ability.

The Congregational church has
called a new minister. This time the
church went down to New England
and selected a man in the person of
Rev. John r. Henderson of Waitsfeld,
VT, who is desirous of moving west
and has been looking for an opening.
He wrote to Rev. Geo. r. Merrill
superintendent of the Minnesota Home
Missionary society, and Mr.. Merrill
knowing that the Princeton church was
without pastor, and realizing that
it was looking for a good man did not
hesitate to recommend Mr.. Henderson,
who according to all reports and en-
dorsements is a man we'll qualified to
take the passionate of the Princeton
church. Mr.. Henderson is young
man thirty-six years of age and is a
graduate Of Dartmouth college, where
he received his B. A. degree. He is
a man fully abreast of the times, and
has had great success as a pastor in
his present field. While resident of
staid old New England he has been in
touch with the west, having resided in
Oklahoma for some time and also
South Dakota. Mr.. Henderson has a
wife who is a talented musician and
ought to prove a great help in church
work.
At business meeting Of the church
last Sunday night it was decided to
call Mr.. Henderson for trial of three
months and he will probably assume
the passionate of the church about the
first of july

about eight O'Clock. Miss Gladys
Neumann had been playing at the
piano in the front room when Miss
Lou Rines called and Miss Gladys
Neumann had just left the piano when
the bullet came crashing through the
lower pane of glass in one of the front
windows and struck the piano stool
just below the seat. The bullet was
picked up near the stool and was
found to be flattened by having struck
the hard wood of the stool. The
strange leaden visitor that came I'M
announced and with such force created
considerable excitement for few
minutes. It is supposed that it was
fired by some one who was shooting
at target or else was discharged
from revolver in the hands of some
drunken person, as no sane person
would ever think of deliberately shoot
ing through the window to a residence.

Will Locate in California.

S. M. Byers writes from Long
Beach, Cal, that he has bought a
home at that place and will remain in
that country in the future. He expects
to return home in a few days and dis
pose OF most of his household goods
and pack the rest and ship them to
California. Mr.. Byers says that his
wife is getting we'll. and that he has
gained five pounds since he went
there. He says that he walked ten
miles the day before he wrote the let
ter and that it did not tire him a bit.
He says that the only thing he regrets
is that he will not be he7S to vote for
r. G. Dunn for governor.A

observer that Judge Collins showed a
com1mnendable degree of prudence in re-
tuslng to be enlightened by Mr.. Hill
on the interesting question ofSswho it
was That solicited and received this
money.
But while Judge Collins: thus
energies from the charge against him
in ascloud OF conjecture the same can
not be said of E. A. Nelson, one of
Collins ll most active managers, of
whom Mr.. Dunn had said: II have
it upon the same authority (Mr. xHill)
that p. A. Nelson, State librarian,
went to the Great Northern railroad
to get S25, 600 for Judge Collins in the
present campaign Nelson would
doubtless have much preferred not to
ask Mr.. Hill any questions on the sub
ject,a5out since the exigencies of the
political situation made it necessary
fors hin to do so, he cannot complain
that Mr.. Hill's reply was not suffi-
GENTLY explicit. This is what he said
relating relating directly to his question::
'sSir-I beg to acknowledge your
letter OF this date and in reply [ de-
sire to call your attention to what oc-
Cured in a call you made at my office
some time during the past winter.
You spoke about some farmers COM
ing5to the State agricultural farm and
then asked me if had enough interest
in the election of governor of the
State to contribute twenty or twenty
five thousand dollars to a campaign
fund II Judge Collins could be nomin-
aztec Or that with that sum he could be
nominated. {" replied that I did not
desire to interfere in State politics;
that my interest in the matter only
went SO far as to hope a good man
would be nominated, and that would
not undertake to furnish that or any
other sum of money for the purpose
requested. This, I think, you will re-
call, is substantially what occurred. z
Thus Mr.. Hill fully confirms Dunn IS
charge that Nelson endeavored to get
him to contribute from $4,000 to
$4,000 to a campaign fund in the in
terest of Judge Collins. Nelson, as
matter of course, makes a feeble at
tempt to deny the pointed and explicit
statement Of Mr.. Hill and he also de-
MES that either Judge Collins or his
advisers ever asked him to solicit
funds from Mr.. Hill or mentioned the
subject in his presence. According to
him he didn't do it, but if he did do it
it was an original and independent
stroke Of enterprise on his own part.
The ,isinterested public will place it's
own estimate on the credibility of such
dent is.s &C.,. S.. .. ..-
~ Having thus summed up what APP
pear to be the salient facts and fea-
lures Of the controversy raised by the
charges of Mr.. Dunn and the state
ments in their own defense made by
Judge Collins and Mr.. Nelson pub
lished on another page the debate is
closed SO far as the Pioneer Press is
concerned, and the people of the State

Money for Roads.

M. S. Rutherford is trying to get the
county commissioners Of Kanabec
county to appropriate sum of money
for road work in town 1925 which is
being rapidly settled up. He says
that the Ann River Farm f1at,7 co.
will donate $1,000 or better for road
work in that township if the county of
Kanabec will appropriate a like sum.
The new country up that way wants
more roads and must have them in
order to more rapidly develop the
country. A good road is sure
revenue getter for it enhances the
value of land, besides inducing set
tiers to locate on the land and help
build up the country. While doing
this they are adding at a very rapid
rate to the assets of the county and
the money that is spent on roads soon
comes back in taxes, and not for one
year but for all years to come.

a Final Summing Up.

The statemet made by r. C. Dunn
in his address at Minneapolis which
naturally caused a great deal of an
cry excitement on the part of the per-
sons referred to was precisely as fol-
lows:
II have it upon the authority of.
James J. Hill that when Judge Col
Inns was running against Judge Willis
Tor the supreme bench tie Great.
Northern railroad contributed between
900 and $4,000 to his campaign
fund. have it on the same authority
that b. A. Nelson, State librarian,
went to the Great Northern railroad
to get $4,000 for Judge Collins in the
present campaign"
Judge Collins in a letter of inquiry
to Mr.. Hill interpreted this to mean
what Dunn had not said-that he, Col
Inns, had personally solicited and
received from Mr.. Hill the sum of be-
tween 100000 and $4,000 for his own
private and individual use'' in the
campaign of 1894 referred to. And he
therefore asks Mr.. Hill: ''First, did
l solicit from you any contributions
of money in the campaign of 1894, or
at any other time, for campaign pur-
poses? Second, did you con-
tribute to me personally, or for my
personal use, any money in 1894, or at
any other time, for campaign pur-
poses? If so, when, where, how much
and to whom was the money paid?"
To these specific questions Mr.. Hill
after suggesting a personal interview
on the subject replied: "No contribu-
ton was personally solicited by you
or made to you by me, - and adds this
significant remark beyond the narrow
lines of Judge Collins carefully linn
tied interrogatory but apparently quite
within the purview of the charge made
by Dunn: "By whom contributions
were solicited and to whom made is a
proper subject for personal inter-
view rather than of correspondence, -
and this is a pretty distinct intima-,
ton that contributions were solicited
and received by somebody for that
campaign, leaving it to be inferred
that they were made in the interest of
Judge Collins since that was the thing
charged, and this inference derives a
negative support from the fact that
though Mr.. Hill offered to tell Collins
who that somebody was in the per-
sonal interview to which he invited
the judge, the latter refused to accept
the offer to have his convenient veil
of ignorance removed, declaring that
he had ''nO desire to ascertain about
contributions unless they were made
upon my solicitation or suggestion. .,
So that if the person who solicited
this money was fellow townsman
and warm personal friend of Judge
Collins, who received it with the UNI.

Judge Collins we are simply sup,pos-.

the contributions were made without

Judge Searle Again.

Judge Searle is in no sense a can
didate for nomination to the supreme
bench. but the mention of his name in
this connection has met with favor
that his nomination is very probable.
The ability and general qualifications
OF Judge Searle for this position are
SO generally recognized that his nom
ination would go long ways towards
removing the supreme bench from the
political game into which it has fallen.

Abe Mark Visits Princeton.

Abe Mark was down from Brainerd
last week visiting relatives and friends
in Princeton. This was Abe's first
visit to Princeton since he moved to
Brainerd and he enjoyed meeting old
acquaintances. He said that business
in Brainerd was very good and that
the northern Minnesota city was grow
ing very rapidly, but he also noted
that Princeton was getting to the front
in good shape. Abe says that his
new town of Midland at Mile Laos
lake is destined to become one of the
best towns in the lake country. He
has already sold over fifty lots in the
new town and there are already
several very substantial buildings in
the place. An electric line from
Brainerd to the lake is being planned
and the farmers will donate the right
of way and place the ties on the same
and the company will be bonded for
the steel s'and equipment. The new
creamery boat that has been placed on
the lake will go into commission in a
very short time. Abe says the lake

THE ssNINETY AND NINE.v
Original Roster of Senior Glass of 1904
and What Became of the PUPILS.

:sAu w udG 11eCd1AO OF the HuD1lS.
The fact that but two high school
pupils will receive diplomas this year
is of course an exception and not the
rule, and the chances are that the
Princeton high school will never grad
uate such a small class again, at least
it is to be hoped so; but the question
naturally arises what has become OF
the ninety. and nine that entered the
high school four and five years ago.
It is fact that large proportion
of the school chilrden leave school
after graduating from the grades. and
while many enter the high school few
ever graduate. There are many ex-
plantations that might be given.
most of which perhaps are for very
good and sufficient reasons. While
the times call for higher education in
every calling the fact remains that the
stern, practical conditions that govern
life are still dominant and will pre-
vail.
In the high school year of 1900 and
1901 there were twenty pupils who en-
tered for the high school course. Two
of these pupils, Miss Avis Eaton and
Miss Minnie Sellhorn, made up year
and graduated with the class of 1903.
OF these twenty, five were in the high
school the year before. They were
Cecil Bigelow, Guy Cordiner, Fred
Keith, Lucie Mudgett, and Grace lib
belts. Of these Miss Midget quit
school during her first year while
Cecil Bigelow, Fred Keith and Grace
Tibbetts dropped their work during
their second year. The other pupils
who were enrolled four years ago were
as follows:
Bertha Woodcock, Myrtle Burgan.
Florence Cater: Ralph Claggett
Andrew Campbell, Helen Christensen,
Earl Kaliher, Georgia Mudgett.
Henry Peterson. Emma Radeke,
Grace Sadley, Stella Sausser.
Geo. Van Rhee.
Of these Miss Grace Sadley is still
attending school and will graduate
next year. The remainder with the

Stella SauSSer,

Of these Miss Grace Sadley is still
attending school and will graduate
next year. The remainder with the
exception of Earl Kaliher, who grad
yates have all dropped by the wayside
because of sickness, removal to other
places, and for various reasons. The
senior class for next year will consist
of ten members if they all remain and
graduate, and future graduating
classes promise to be at least average
ones.
