After Mr.. Nelson heard of the
wreck of the boat on which his sweet
h lt7i sailed, he hoped for the best and
the lovers prayer was that his bride
to-be was among the saved. When
the list of the survivors was licked
across the sea and announced in the
papers to hundreds of anxious ones
IN this country Jacob Nelson expert
enced Joy that probably no future
event in his life will ever equal.
Neptune has many times mercilessly
cancelled many of Cupid's contracts,
and in awful tones of the deep said
nay, but the god of the sea was merci-
tulto Jacob Nelson's sweetheart and
they have started out on the sea of
maatrimony filled with the bulls of
matrimonial derelicts, but let us hope
MT. and Mrs. Nelson's bark will sail
the deep, blue sea of matrimony un-
harmed.

SELLS TO PARTNER
G. H. Rines Sells Interest in His
Potato Business to His Part
ner, w. II. Terrell.
Mr.. RineS Will Retire From Active
Business and New Firm Will
be w. II. Terrell & Co.

The firm of G. H. Rines & co. that
has long been a popular and we'll
known trade mark in the potato trade
all over the country underwent
change this week, Mr.. Rines having
sold his interest in the business to his
partner, Mr.. w. Fl. Terrell who has
been associated in the potato business
with Mr.. Rines for the past ten years.
Mr.. Rines has been in active, stren-
uous life for many long years and
from the keeper of small store which
he started in Princeton over thirty
years ago he worked his way up to
one of the leading captains of the
potato industry of the country. He
has husbanded his resources in wise
and profitable way and came to the
conclusion that he would retire from
business-life and let his partner who
is young man continue the business
The deal was closed yesterday and
the business together with the ware
houses of the old firm will in the
future be operated by w. H. Terrell
& Co.
Mr.. Terrell thoroughly understands
the potato trade. He first made his
appearance on the Princeton potato
market when farmers around Princeton
were first beginning to raise potatoes.
That was the year the starch factory
started. G. H. Rines and L. H.
Galley were the first dealers in potatoes
in Princeton and in early days what
potatoes were marketed in Princeton
were stored in cellars or else bought
on track. Mr.. Terrell used to come
to Princeton to buy potatoes of
Messrs. Rines and Galley, for Mime
apolis firm. The acquaintance he made
with Mr.. Rines later developed into
partnership which continued ten years,
during which time the Princeton
potato industry developed by leaps
and bounds.
When Messrs. Rines and Terrell
started in business there were no pota-
toes raised in Greenbush and it was a
hard matter to get the farmers inter-
ested in potato raising. The total
output of potatoes in Princeton at that
time did not exceed 200 cars, while
with a good year now the output will
run from 1900 to 1,5OG cars.

Dunn and CORPORATIONS.

The West St. Paul Times was one of
Judge Collins supporters in the late
campaign for the gubernatorial NOM
nation, but it's advocacy Of the COL
Inns cause never descended to abuse of
opponents and was always marked by
that same regard for the rights of
others which was displayed by the
Pilot in its support of Mr.. Dunn. The
fair-mindedness of Mr.. Schurman,
editor of the Times, is now shown in
his prompt and graceful acceptance of
the outcome of the conventions. While
he would have preferred Judge Col
Inns as nominee, his spirit of fairness
revolts against the attacks that are
being made upon Mr.. Dunn, and in
the latest issue of his paper he has an
article relative to Dunn and the cor
porations which the Pilot thinks is
worthy OF being quoted in full. He
says:
ut is being persistently circulated
by Democrats, and some Republicans
that, Mr.. Dunn is the friend of corpor-
ations, and that if elected governor
he will be the tool of j. J. Hill and
other magnates of that stamp. The
good book says: 'Ye shall know
them by their fruits. Do men gather
grapes Of thorns Or figs of thistles?'
Let us apply this test to Mr.. Dunn.
While in public life what has been his
record? It is not fair to condemn a
man on circumstantial evidence when
better evidence can be had.
''Mr. Dunn's attitude to corpora
tions generally may be summed up in
the following paragraph from his re-
port as State auditor for the year
1878 as follows:
1T may be some years before our
State can look to specific taxes for all
State revenue purposes. but that
should be the tendency of our future
tax laws. I am, however, firmly con-
WINGED that, by wise and equitable
specific taxation. of large corporate
interests, we may in the near future
relieve real property entirely from
any taxation for State revenue.
Broadly speaking, Mr.. Dunn, in
the position taken in this report, ex-
poets that the day is not far distant
when large corporate interests will
bear all the. burden of taxation for
State revenue. Really now does that
smack of special friendliness to cor
porations?

Isanti County bitches.

County Auditor Blomgren and At
torney A. 81. Switzerland of Cam
bridge drove over last Thursday af-
ternoon and remained over until the
following day. They had been post
ing ditch notices in the towns of Brad
ford, Wyanett and Spencer Brook.
Mr.. Switzerland is the attorney for
the petitioners. While in Princeton
they looked up the ownership of some
OF the lands adjacent to the proposed
bitches. One of the bitches begins in
section II of the town of Wyanett and
the route of the ditch is through Sec
lions 49, 20, 30 and %, emptying into
Donnelly brook that flows into Green
lake. This ditch will be over three
miles long. The other ditch begins
south of Spencer Brook and runs
straight east several miles, takes a
southeasterly course and empties into
lake Francis in the town of Bradford.
This ditch will be about seven miles
long. A judicial ditch has also been
petitioned for. It starts in the lower
part of Kanabec county and runs down
through the town of Stanchfeld and
empties into Stanchfeld brook. This
ditch will be over ten miles long. The
farmers in Isanti and adjoining
counties are waking up to the fact that
bitches are the proper thing and will
reclaim lot of very valuable meadow
land.

ARE SPUDS READY?
The Potato Markets Up This Way
Are Beginning to Open for
the Season.
Potatoes Selling Around Thirty Cents
--Some Forecasts of the Late
Market.

The potato market will open in
Princeton next Saturday at which
time the dealers will begin buying
what stock may be offered. The
markets opened this week at Elk River
and Bethel, and it will not be many
days before all the potato markets
Will be doing business, though it will
be several weeks before there will be
heavy receipts.
The markets at Elk River and Bethel
started this week the buyers paying
thirty cents, and the Princeton market
will open not much under thirty cents.
The indications throughout the coun-
try are for big crop of potatoes and
OF very good quality, and there does
not appear to be any promise of much
better than common prices. c. E.
Healey & Co., successors to H. E.
Thomas & Co. of Minneapolis are
quoted as saying: ''The crop of pota-
toes in Minnesota is going to be one
OF the largest we have yet had, pro-
viding, of course, conditions continue
favorable. The early crop is now be-
ing marketed, receipts at Minneapolis
proper from seven to twelve cars
daily; the regular potato territory
will not open much before September
lst. The acreage is much larger than
last year, and unless something I'M
torseen occurs: we will experience
another year such as we had in 1895.
with prices from ten to fifteen cents
per bushel.' H.
OF course Messrs. Healey & Co.
have got low enough, that is sure, low
enough to be On the safe side, but it
will require test of the market to de-
termine the correctness of their state
ment.
If there is any slump in the market
1t will not come until late. The potato
market is always a hard one to deter
mine, and it is governed by many con-
ditions. The Minnesota potato is al
ways head and shoulders IN quality
above those of any other section and
will sell at few cents advance over
any other potatoes. But in market
Hooded with potatoes, quality doesn It
cut such a great figure.

Jacob Nelson came down to Prince
ton Saturday with his brother, Ed
ward Nelson. The license was Sc
cured and theysreturned to Milaca on
the afternoon train, and the wedding
ceremony was performed by Rev. DIN
Saturday evening.
The groom is a young man of very
youthful appearance, and can talk
very little English as he has been in
the country only about a year. He
lived with his folks in the little ham
let OF Skien, in Norway, where he
became acquainted with his sweetheart
and the rivulet of love ran on and
on down to the great boundless ocean
of betrothel. When Jacob Nelson
kissed his sweetheart goodby a year
ago and sailed for America to seek a
situation in the land of Uncle Sans
opportunities, he went to Milaca where
his brother lives and found employ
ment with the Foley Bean Lumber Co.
AS soon as he could he sent for his
sweetheart to come to him, and she
took passage On the Norge, and her
account of the shipwreck and the man
ner in which she was saved is a thrill
ing one.
On the morning that the ship went
down the sky was clear, there was lit
tie wind and the sea was quite calm.
1t was between seven and eight O'Clock
when the boat struck the great pro-
Jectlng reef of ROckall, the terror of
all northern navigators. Miss Koth
was on the upper deck at the time and
was about to go down to breakfast
when there was a fearful crash, the
boat trembled from stem to stern and
backed Off the sharp rocks into deep
water and began sinking at once.
There were few people on deck at the
time. The first boat to be filled and
lowered was caught in launching and
the occupants cast into the sea. Miss
koth was one of those who got into
the second boat, which luckily was
released and lowered without any ac-
cident and it pulled away from the
doomed boat. AS it did so it was fol-
lowed by the captain of the boat who
was hauled into the life-boat by Miss
Koth and Norwegian girl bound
for Brooklyn, N. Y. Miss Koth saws
that strange incident in connection
with the saving OF the captain was the
fact that the ships compass was found
floating away from the sinking ship
and was following close behind the
captain.

the dead bodies of those who jumped
into the ocean with life preservers. but

GOLDEN HARVEST TIME.
The Mower and Reaper are Busy and the
Thresher is Getting Busy.

AO AAO"CA sAHu ncdpcT are BUSY ana the
Thresher is Getting Busy.
Harvest time is upon the farmers
and those in this vicinity have no
reason to complain, but on the con.
trary should be thankful, as they un-
doubtedly are, for the favors of ma.
ture. The cutting Of small grain is
well under way and as rule it is fine.
1t is said that in many places oats
are suffering from the affects of rust
and in some fields the damage will be
considerable. In many places in the
vicinity of Pease there are some fields
that are damaged to such an extent
that they will not be worth the cutting.
But while there will be individual
losses from this cause the crop on the
whole is very good. Corn that has
been backward is being greatly helped
by the recent warm weather and has
made great progress toward maturity.
If the coming thirty days are fairly
warm the crop will be good. In fact
there are a good many fields through
out this section where there will be
we'll matured corn. There will be a
large crop of potatoes and the quality
will average good. It is said that the
Ohios are not as sound as they should
be in many sections, but it is thought
that they are not generally affected.

was taken out OF the vehicle and taken

were barred. She says she does not
know In what part Of the city this

room by man or woman. This morn
ing about o'clock the man who car
ried her away came to her room and
told her that as there had been consid-
erable printed about her disappearance
In the papers he had determined to
release her. Again she was blIndfolded
and taken downstairs and placed In
There was another long
drive and then the carriage stopped
and she was put out on the street.
This was at Eleventh and Georgia

She declares that she did not see her
husband, and that so far as she knows
he had nothing to do with her cap
ture. Her manner is not that OF wo-
man who had passed through very
narrowing experience. and she ex-
pressed a desire that the matter be
dropped rather than have any further
made. II is considered
hardly possible that she could have

ternoon. Yesterday Constable Utzin-
ger went up to Ladu. Wash. where

not yet been positively learned what

The present investigation has devel-
oped an interesting legal point which
seldom is brought out in the courts
of this country. District Attorney AL

fair to the jury at the session Friday
afternoon. During the course of his

coroner's jury should make such rec

dence warranted.
That section Of the Oregon laws
which deals with cases of the kind at
issue is in part as follows:
whenever any boy or girl between
the ages OF 10 and le years is con-
victei before any court Of competent
jurisdiction OF any crime which. COM
mitted by an adult, would be punish
able by Imprisonment in the county
Jail or penitentiary. such Juvenile Of

of said court to said state reform
school, and provided, further
that nothing In this act shall be con-
strued to debar any circuit court or
county court from Furnishing any capt.
tai offense in such manner as Is or
may be provided by law"
This section of the statute would
permit the circuit court to sentence
any minor between such ages to be
hanged in the event such minor was
of murder in the first de-
gree, or any other capital crime: but
in the event of the conviction Of a |
minor between the ages of 10 and 16
years of any crime other than a cap i
tai crime. with the exception of

,ould only be committed to the state
