Excitement Among the BOYS.

Excitement Among the Boys.
z Great interest and enthusiasm is be-
ing stirred up amongsthe. boys of this
city as;lthe result of unique and
original offer made by Jesmer's de-
partment store -.
This store announces that the sales
man for Ederheimer, Stein & Co.,
makers of Xtragood boys clothing,
Chicago, will call upon them within
ten days and they offer to give, free,
any $500 Xtragood suit in their store
to the first boy under sixteen who finds
and Identifies this salesman.
A feature of the plan is the one set
expression which must be used by
the young detectives, who are re-
quired to say: "You are from Eder-
heimer, Stein & Co., Chicago, and
sell Xtragood Clothes" The sales
man, it is said, will not admit his
identity unless addressed in these
precise words.
: So active have the boys become in
their search that every stranger who
reaches town is quickly besieged and
questioned by crowd of young
sleuths.

November Weather?

Hicks says: A reaetionary storm
period will be central on the 18th and
18th. There will be change to
warmer, southerly winds and cloudi-
ness, and more autumnal rains will
make their transit from west to east
across the country. Change to colder,
with northwesterly winds and freezing
weather at night, will follow the
storms.
3. The third storm period is centralon
the 18th, covering the 18th to 10Th.
Some very decided autumnal storms
and gales may be expected, and No.
vember cold wave will follow. ;.f.z =
The fourth storm period is central
on the 22nd and 23rd, about which
dates general storms will be in prog
ress from west to east, with indica-
tons good fora continued spell of
very stormy weather for the balance
Of the month. The storms of this and
the succeeding: period may be so pro-
longed and intensified as to make al
most one continuous time of perturba-
ton.
The fifth storm period will begin as
early as the 25th and Goth. Normally
it would be central on the 10th. A
change to warmer will be advancing
from the west by the 10Th, with gen.
eral autumnal rains, turning to snow
and sleet, and almost a genuine No.
vember blizzard will press close be-
hind the last stages of the storms.

NEEDS NEW CHARTER
Council OH flonday Night Decides that
Old Village Charter Has Out
grown Its Usefulness.
Committee to Draft New One and
Submit Same to the People
at the Next Election.

The regular meeting of the village
council was held on Monday evening.
The principal business before the
body was that of considering the
adoption Of a new charter for the vii
lage, it being commended that the one
now in existence is not of sufficient
modern construction, and that it
should therefore be replaced with
another embodying the necessary up
to-date requirements. In other words,
that Princeton has outlived the time
when this Anticipated charter covers
the requisite grounds. A discussion
of the question resulted in instructions
being given the recorder to communi-
cate with other like officials of villages
the size of Princeton or larger asking
them to furnish copies of the charters
of their respective communities. Upon
receipt of these copies they will be
submitted to the council for considera-
ton and committee appointed to
draft such charter as shall be deemed
necessary 70 meet the requirements.
After being approved by the council
it will be submitted to the people to
pass upon at the next election.
An inspection of the old charter
convinces US that a new one is .abso-
lutely necessary to the enhancement of
PrincetOn's future.
In addition to a few unimportant
matters number of bills were passed
upon and the council adjourned.

The foregoing is recent ruling of
the secretary OF the interior and it has
created something of a sensation
among the attorneys practicing in
the lando6ice7. The very reverse has
been the ruling of landohice officials
and there are several cases recently
appealed from the decision of the To-
cal land officials which the ruling will
affect.
In some quarters the ruling of the
secretary of the interior is claimed to
be directly contrary to the law which
provides that a woman can only hold
homestead when she marries if
her husband is not claiming a separ-
ate tract Of land under the homestead
law. .-'~.-'

VI Milo Celebrates Seventy-SeventhA Ami
versary of Her Birth.
Fhere was very pleasant gather
ing of the neighbors and friends of
Mr.. and Mrs. S. B. Smith at their
home on the evening of November 3rd,
it being the 10th anniversary of Mrs.
Smiths birthday. Mrs. Smith is now
planning to go to the BURBERRY fields
near Bemidjis next year SO we con-
clude that she is not so old as her
years would indicate. During the
evening the conversation turned to
the early settlement of Mile Laos
county and M. b.. Northway enter
tanned the guests by giving short
sketch of his first year in Milo. Mr..
Northway came to Milo in November.
1866, and settled on the quarter section
where he now lives, and the hard
ships endured during the few first
years were enough to cause men of
less courage to leave the country.
Mr.. Northway said that if it had not
been for the courage and perseverance
of Mrs. Northway he would have left
in disgust. The country at that time
was complete wilderness, Princeton
was little station where supplies
were obtained for numbering men.
There were no roads except the tote
road up the river and settlers were
few and far between. Princeton was
the only market road, and people be-
ing poor and teams scarce, the mar
keting was done by walking to Prince
ton, distance Of IL miles, and carry
ing groceries in sack over the
shoulder Or what was called "backing
it home.' All the early settlers had
the same experience as Mr.. Northwav.
What would people Of the present
time say if they had to go through the
same experience? Mr.. Northwav
says that to compare the country at
the present time with what it was 80
years ago is quite contrast.

THE POTATO MARKET
With But Slight Fluctuations Prices
Have Ruled Stronger than
Those of Last Week.
Thousands of Bushels Rendered Use.
less for Table or Seed Pur-
poses by Recent Frost.

During the past week potatoes have
been coming in steadily and prices
generally ruled a little stronger than
the previous week, though there were
slight fluctuations in price. Some
loads brought from 4S to 50 cents per
bushel, but only very prime tubers
reached these figures.
Farmers having potatoes in the
ground made good use of the mild
weather prevailing to dig them, but it
is estimated that the cold spell of last
week froze at least SO per cent of the
unharvested crop. Thus thousands of
bushels will be unmarketable for
table use and will either have to be
sold to the starch factory or become
total loss. In instances where po-
tatoes are frozen, as they are this
year, the starch factory is boon to
the farmer for he receives sufficient
for these otherwise useless potatoes
to at least pay him for digging and
hauling them.
W. II. Terrell tells us that if the
farmers were to sort the potatoes
intended for table use instead of
bringing them to the warehouses as
they do now with all sizes mixed to-
gether the buyers could afford to pay
from five to ten cents more per
bushel. AS it is the potatoes sent
from here, in entering into competi-
ton with those from other parts of
the country which are sorted, are
offered to disadvantage and conse-
quently the prices are cut down in the
big markets. And the receiving sta
lions are, as is we'll known, governed
by the: prices paid at these big mar
kets to which the potatoes are shipped.
The prices paid for carload lots in
Chicago this week was from 60 to IS
cents per bushel, so that the average
price here-45 cents-is all that could
be expected. It costs the shipper II
cents per bushel to place his potatoes
on@track in Chicago, and this is
the point to which most of the crop
from this part of the country is con-
signed. ~ ...
A shortage of cars still prevails,
and the only way in which shippers
have been able to get their potatoes
into the Chicago. market has been to
send them to Minneapolis in Great
Northern cars and await their trans
terrence. at that point. This has not
only cost considerable delay, but a
large quantity of the potatoes have
been damaged thereby.

AGAIN CALLED DOWN.

Fullerton Receives Orders From Supreme
Court to Amend His Ways.
Fullerton has received another slap
in the face, this time from the state
supreme court, for permitting his hire
lings to confscate deer and moose
skins contrary to law.
Deer and moose skins, purchased in
good faith from persons who have
taken them from animals legally killed
may be lawfully shipped out of the
state for tanning purposes.
The supreme court in a decision so
holds, and further denies the right OF
the game and fish commission to con-
fscate such hides so shipped. The
court in it's findings, which ARE writ
ten by Justice Elliott, says:
'On the authority of Linden VS.. Nc
'Cormick, 80 MINI. 337, held that a
person who in good faith lawfully
purchases deer and moose skins,
taken from animals lawfully killed,
for the purpose of being tanned and
returned to the shipper for use in
manufacturing gloves and mittens
does so within the meaning of the law.
Order affirmed"
The case on which. the decision is
based came from Grow Wing county,
where G. A. Albright, as executor of
the estate of l.. E.. Warren deceased,
shipped seventy deer and moose hides
to New York to be tanned.
This was during the closed season,
but despite his statement and proof
that they were from animals killed
during the open season, they were
confscated by the state, they being
taken while in the possession of the
Northern Pacific road.
Albright brought suit against the
road and was given verdict in the
lower court. This verdict the supreme
court sustains.

Leg Crushed By Train.

On Saturday morning a man about
30 years of age fell beneath a Great
Northern train at Big Lake and his
right leg was crushed above the knee.
His presence of mind and pure grit
probably saved his life. He dragged
himself to the Northern Pacific track
and tagged the east bound express by
setting fire to a piece of newspaper.
The train stopped and the man was
