WICEN BOY DROWNED
Rickard Wicen, Seven-Year-Old Son
of Louis Wicen, is Drowned
Near Three Corners.
Runs on Ice Into Open Water and
Sinks Before Help Could
Reach Him.

A sad and sudden death by drown
ing occurred at Mud lake near John
Shannon's place just over the line in
Wyanett last Sunday morning about
9:3O o'clok. Rickard Wicen, the
'seven-year-Old son of Louis Wicen,
ran into open water in the lake and
drowned before assistance could reach
him. His older brother, twelve years
of age, was on the lake skating with
the Steadman boys and a few other
companions. Rickard had followed
his brother to the lake, but the little
fellow did not have any skates and
was following the boys around while
they were skating. They had skated
over to the opposite side of the lake
and Rickard started straight across to
them, not noticing open water about
fifteen feet wide ahead of him, and he
ran right off the ice into the water.
which was less than three feet deep.
but the bottom of the lake was very
deep mud. The elder Wicen boy saw
his brother fall into the water and ran
to his assistance and in trying to save
him nearly lost his life, his compan-
ions rescuing him. The little Wicen
boy struggled hard to keep above
water but his strength failed him and
he slowly sank deeper and deeper into
the muddy depths until all that re-
mained out of water was the top of his
head.
The boys ran to the Wicen home and
gave the alarm but when Mr.. Wicen
and his neighbors reached the lake
there was no way to reach the boy and
a boat had to be brought from Silver
lake. The body was easily recovered
with the boat and removed to the home.
The funeral was held yesterday af-
ternoon at 2 O'Clock at Mr.. Wicen IS
home, Rev. Erick Shogren of the
Swedish Baptist church officiating.
The interment was in the new cemetery
near Nystrom's at Green lake.
The sad accident has cast a gloom
over the community and the grief
stricken parents and family have the
sympathy of all in their bereavement.

A TOBACCO INDUSTRY.
A 'Weed" Plant in Princeton that is De
veloping into Quite a Business,

|
There are many people who per.
haps do not realize that Princeton is
becoming quite a tobacco manufactur-
ing center, but such, nevertheless is
the case. Princeton-made cigars have
already taken their place on the best
markets of the State and are becom-
ing regular trade favorites.
When Julius Sugarman came to
Princeton last spring and made ar
rangements to open a cigar factory,
ne was "given the laugh" to use a
slang phrase. Princeton in years past
had had a few so-called cigar fac
tories, which made up little saloon
stock, and found an early grave.
Many placed Mr.. Sugarman in the
same category, but he paid no atten-
tion to what people thought or said
and went about his business. Those
who looked upon his business venture
with bit of suspicion little dreamed
that the new cigar maker had grown
up in the tobacco business, that he
was born amid the tobacco fields and
for twelve years he was boss packer
for the Barnums and Fairbanks, the
bonanza tobacco raisers of Connecti-
cut. In his capacity as packer Mr..
Sugarman sorted the stock into filters.

tant position, and what Mr.. Sugar.

worth knowing.
After sixteen years experience in the
tobacco business in New York CITY
Mr.. Sugarman moved to Minneapo-
lis, and desiring to find satisfactory
field where he might conduct cigar
and tobacco factory with less capital
and expense than in the city he looked
| over Princeton and decided to locate
here. No bonus awaited his coming,
hardly a half-hearted welcome in pass
ing, but he came and on the first of
last May started Cigar Factory No. 1
OF Minnesota in small quarters on the
north side of the river. He was for
tunate in securing license No. 1, which
had been surrendered by the original
applicant and the internal revenue
officer allowed Mr.. Sugarman to have
it.
The new factory began placing sew
eral brands of five and ten-cent cigars
on the market, and they have proved
popular brands. Among his ten-cent
goods, are sour Bob; /" La Cedella'' y
and "El Artistic" while s'Princeton
Stock Princeton Winner,'' "Fac-
tory No. II and s'Little Pets'' are
leading five-cent grades, that will
average better than most five-cent
cigars.
Mr.. Sugarman has worked up an
extensive business in the manufacture

HIGH SCHOOL REPORT.

Inter eStlns Data Cleaned From Geo. B.
Atoms Report.
The eleventh annual report of Geo..
b. Alton inspector of State high
schools: has been received, and as
usual contains many interesting
statistics.
Mr.. Alton says. the increase of
State aid from S400 to $500, to 81, 900.
and later to $1,000, together with the
settlement of the newer parts of the
State, has caused the building of
many new schools the past few years.
Reference is made in the report to the
new wing added to the Princeton
school. ..:'', :'.
The total number of high school
students enrolled in the State last
year was 1882 exclusive of students
doing grammar school work. Of the
total number enrolled 7,499 were boys
and ll,l23 girls. Mr.. Alton thinks
that, while reports indicate 2,433 non
resident students, one-ffth of all high
school students are non-residents.
The number of graduates is increas-
ing at much higher rate, showing
that greater proportion complete a
course.
In the table showing the enrolment
Princeton is credited with 20 boys and
40 girls, with 56 resident and l3 non
resident.
In the expenditure for gh school
outfit last year Princeton did not
spend a dollar for chemistry, while
SS4 was paid for physics, $2O for
botany and zoology, $40 for general
library and S75 for supplementary
reading, total of Sl89. AS the in
spector says: "As matter of justice
previous reports should be consulted
before comparisons are made" The
assessed valuation of the Princeton
school district is S613,OO0, and last
year the total school tax was 1902
mills.
The most important part of Mr..
Atoms report is what he has to say
on the work of school superintend-
ent. Mr.. Alton has sounded the true
note when he says:
~ am convinced that in the interest
of better schools, the superintendency
should be made more attractive by a
specific and systematic enlargement
of it's duties. The more attractive the
position can be made. the greater the
inducement to able young men. More
responsibility in the eye of the com
munity would bring with it compensa-
tion and a longer term. It is notice
able that a board of education dis
posed to confne the superintendent

closely to class room work is also
disposed to pare his salary and sees
no harm in changing at the end of the
year, very possibly realizing that
man anxious to remain under such
conditions lacks the ability to secure
a position elsewhere and should not
be retained.
The true way to carry on a school
and at the same time develop the su-
perintendent is to develop on him
every duty that he can do as we'll Or
better than a board member. Half
the business brought before boards of
education, leading to no end of petty
squabbling, ought to be transacted
beforehand by competent superin-
tendent, thus clearing the way for a
discussion of school policy. If the
meetings of school boards were more
like the meetings of the board of
directors of an important business
enterprise, the result would be an i'm
provement in the standing of the su-
perintendent, more respect for his pro-
fessional skill, greater demand for ex-
perience and business ability, and
CORRESPONDENCE increased attractive
ness in the position.
my observation is to the effect
that the more responsibility a board
places on the superintendent the bet
ter the school. Economy, loyalty,
harmony, and efficiency go hand in
hand with the centering of response
bility. Six men cannot sit down of
an evening, go through mass of
recommendations, most of them worth
less, and select well-balanced corps
of teachers. Business men would not
buy even a flock of sheep in any such
haphazard way, and yet school
board not infrequently arranges by
guess work for the expenditure of sew
eral thousand dollars in salaries,
while the uperintendent sits helplessly
by plucking the sleeve of some men,
Der, or begging the board not to act
hastily or unwisely. A man who is
not qualified to hunt up and recon-
mend corps of teachers suited each
to a particular position is not pre-
pared to act asa superintendent. If
he has the professional ability for
such duties it should be called into
requisition. In my judgment SUPER
intendent should be expected to travel
enough during the school year to
know what other schools are doing
and to be ready whenever occasion
demands to suggest suitable candi-
dates for vacant positions. In the
matter of supplies, too, the closer a
board follow the superintendent ad-
vice, the less money is wasted. A
superintendent seldom piles up charts,
worthless sets of books, and the ILL.,
begotten devices sold by agents.
Enough money is wasted annually at
the suggestion of canvassers to build
up fine lot of libraries.'

THE NIURDERERS CAUGHT.
The Minneapolis Police Capture the c

lumbla Heights Murderers.
The murderers of little Freddie
King, the innocent lad shot down in
cold blood at the Mingo saloon hold
up at Columbia Heights the night be-
fore Thanksgiving, have been caught
in Minneapolis.
The men were captured at the Grand
Central hotel in Minneapolis at about
four O'Clock Saturday morning by
Detectives Brown, Grumpy and John
son shortly after they had entered the
house.
On account of the we'll known des-
perate character of the men the officers
made no attempt to arrest them until
they. had separated.
Two OF the men, Kolb and Ham
mond were in one room while the third
man, Calderwit, remained in the office
Of the hostelry.
AS soon as Calderwit saw the Off
GERS APPROACH he made desperate at
tempt to escape through the rear
door, but was caught before he could
work the lock.
kolb and Hammond were placed
under arrest just as they were disrob-
ing preparatory to retiring. In the
room in which they were arrested were
found three masks similar to those
worn by the highwaymen at Columbia
Heights. A large 38-calibre revolver
together with several knives and other
articles were found,
When he was placed under arrest
kolb sank back on the bed unnerved.
He trembled like a leaf when told the
crime of which he was charged. The
de$ sF55ires were foraea @to aid him in
walking to the station
An odor of petroleum was detected
on the men, and the cast-off clothes
found near the scene of the murder
had the same odor to them.

saloon have identified the three men.

on the Bee Line, and who were cap
tured near Grandy, proved to be in
nocent of the awful crime, though
from their actions they no doubt have
crimes OF their own to answer for.
The brakeman discovered them be-
tween Coon Creek and Bethel and the
three men were in an ugly mood and
showed fight. At Bethel the brake
man locked the car door and wired
Minneapolis authorities and also
wired the Cambridge marshal to be
ready to capture the men, but Mar
shall Nesbitt had only the assistance
.of Deputy Holmberg, and they were
poorly supplied with guns. While the
train was en- route to Cambridge the
men cut the door and pulled the lock
off, and when the train reached Cam
bridge they jumped from the car and
started to run. Marshal Nesbitt cried
HALT" but the three men never stop
ped and went out of town unmolested.
At Grandy, Station Agent Snyder
held them at bay with a gun and his
cool nerve until posse arrived and
took the men.

Exercising Shoulder Muscles.

Angular shoulders are the trial OF
many a society woman whose position
in life requires the frequent wearing OF
a decollete gown. We are constantly
called upon TO improve the shoulders
One of our best exercises for this pur-
pose is TO vigorously push the muscle
forward and then use "A circular pull
ing out movement on the clavic5lar
spaces, which. the average woman re-
fers tc as the hollows in her neck. BY
pushing the muscle forward we have
more muscle to work on. and in this
way we get much better results This
movement treats the deltoid muscles to
an exercise that they seldom receive.
Arm Exercise to Fill Out Neck HoIlows
If this exercise Is practiced daily,
even for week, it viii be readily seen
that the hOlloWs in the neck are becom-
ing less and less. II Is the same old
story of exercising the muscles TO nour-
ish and strengthen them. It is the
shriveIed up muscle, not the wen nour-
ished muscle, that tends to make the
neck hoIlows. This exercise is a rapld
movement of turning the arms so that
the muscles are first expanded and then
contracted. It brings the blood to the
surface with a rush. and in this way
the undevelOped muscles are stimulated
and nourished- In cases OF very thin
necks we give the turning arm move
ment thirty times a day.
Spatting Movement to Improve Neck.
The spatting movement is done with
the tips Of the fingers. It IS a quick.
and sharp movement. first. done with
the fingers of one hand ana then with
the fingers Of the other. 1t is really
only another exercise. but a very i'm
porsant one for furthering the circuIa-
ton. Combined with the spatting
movement we give deep breathing ex-
ercises. The patieny Is first shown how
TO breathe correctly. then the neck is
literally bathed in cream. and then for
the spatting movement, which we apply
all around the neck. at the shoulders,
and the front and the beck.

of causing trouble. The round neck ex-
poses the throat, and the truth of the
matter is that there are few women to-
day. young or old. who have a throat

but simply because the sensitive skin
of the throat has been abused by the
fashionable collar.
Very few women realize that the skin
which covers the neck is even more SEN
sitive than that of the face, and yet
women will persistently do much for
their complexions. and with equal per
sistency not only entirely neglect their
throats but imprison the throat in
tight bands. which by overheating and
constant compression starve and weak

should not be washed with water, but
bathed in the finest cream. Water dries
the skin. and the only way 20 Danish
the dishguring lines of the throat and
the red, irritated looking skin at the
sides of the neck is to give it frequent
cream baths and then follow the ex-
ercises that are pictured on this page.

has faithfully followed this treatment
will be delighted to wear one OF the
fashionable gowns with the new round
Dutch neck-the neck which is cut away
to show the throat.
Side Movement for Relaxing Neck and
Throat Muscles.
Our first step in making old necks
young is to make flexible the muscles.
BY the means Of tight collars they have
been held rigid for so long that before
we can really treat the neck we must
get the muscles out Of their wise. To
exercise them we give a relaxing move
