car load of horses and mules, and

THE BRIDGE MEETING.
Meeting to Discuss South-Town Bridge
Was Well Attended.

The meeting at the Office of c.. A.
Dickey last Saturday evening to dis
cuss the bridge question was we'll at
tended, especially by a large number
of farmers who are very much inter-
ested in getting a bridge over the
river to give them more direct road
into Princeton via the Sherburne and
Mile Laos county judicial road, men
ton Of which was made last week.
There were quite few business men
present, but not the attendance that
the Importance OF the meeting war;
ranted. However, there are no bust
ness men in the village of Princeton
who are not heartily in favor of hav-
ing the bridge built as all admit that
it will prove business getter for the
town.
Frank Morneau was appointed
chairman of the meeting and c.. A.
Dickey secretary. There was a gen.
eral discussion of the question, and
about everyone present had something
to say in favor of the construction of
the bridge and the completion of the
road to connect with the same. John
Cameron, Lambert Hatch, and in fact
all farmers present manifested a
strong desire to have the bridge built
and stated that they were willing to
make liberal subscriptions for the
same. It was pointed out how under
present road conditions many of the
farmers living in the vicinity of
Green lake drove to Cambridge in
preference to coming to Princeton as
there was better and more direct
road which they could travel in much
shorter time than they could by CON-
ing to Princeton via the round about
road as at present.
Hon. Emmett Mark was present and
he stated that he would introduce a
bill in the legislature asking for an
appropriation for the bridge and c..
A. Dickey was appointed a committee
to draft the bill.
J. F. Zimmerman was appointed a.
committee to inquire into the prob
able cost of constructing the bridge.
John Cameron, Lambert Hatch, Frank
feathers, e. r. Douglas, B. D.
Grant, Frank Morneau and others
were named to solicit private SUBJ
scriptions, and it is thought that with
what appropriations can be secured
from the legislature, and Mile Laos
and Sherburne counties that enough
money can be raised to construct the
bridge, and complete the road.
John W. Goulding representing the
Barker estate, stated that he would
be willing to donate a strip of land
across the Barker property on this
side of the river, making more direct
road to Main street and at less ex-
pense than by the route surveyed, and
it would not cut up the property as
much.
Those who have been named to
solicit subscriptions report very good
success. Many of the farmers who
have pledged money for the bridge
are increasing their subscriptions.
The business men of Princeton can
we'll afford to subscribe literally for

"BRIDGE' TICKET WINS.

1t Carries the Day at Election in Elk
River.
AT holly contested special town
election Saturday the "bridge" ticket
won out by vote of 203 to g.. The
proposition was to separate the town
and village, in order to enable the
former to evade the taxation to be
caused by putting a bridge across the
Mississippi river at that place. If the
''town' ticket had won the building
of bridge at that place would have
been prevented for all time.

YngVe Is Appointed Capitol Custodian.
A. P. Yngve. an old-time Pop and
Democrat of Isanti county. has re-
ceived an appointment at the hands of
Governor Johnson, who has named
Yngve one of the custodians of the
capitol building, though the report
does not state which capitol building.
Mr.. Yngve has long chased the
glittering tinsel of the defeated Bryan,
and has held faithfully to the doc
trines of Pops, Demo-Pops and Dem
ocrats. He has labored hard for the
plum that is his and that it will taste
sweet goes without saying. .

ballots cast, each one having 5000

Grand Jury Talk.

.UTanu Jury Talk.
The adoption of constitutional
amendment permitting the legislature
to abolish the grand jury system at
the recent election in this State has re-
suited in giving the impression that
the grand jury has been actually
abolished here and metropolitan pa
pers and magazines, published in the
east have been commenting upon the
action of the voters at considerable
length. The grand jury system is as
old as Anglo-Saxon civilization itself,
and many writer's regard it as one of
the most Important institutions in the
nation, and express establishment that
the voters should have decided to
abolish it, while others take the
ground that the system was all right
in past ages, but has outlived it's use
fulness. The grand jury system is
not yet abolished in Minnesota, and
is not likely to be, although there is
a bill now pending before the legisla-
ture, which provides for it's abolition.
So far as the adoption of the amend
ment is concerned. it merely gives the
legislature power to abolish the sys-
TEN if it sees fit, and it is doubtful if
the great majority of those who voted
upon this amendment were very deeply
interested, either one way or the other.
There was very little interest taken in
it before election, and it's adoption
has apparently aroused less interest
here in Minnesota than it has in the
east. It is to be regretted that the
matter has not been more generally
discussed, as it is question of consid-
cradle consequence and there is a
good deal to be said both for and
against abolition. If the grand Jury,
as so often happens, confines itself to
bringing in indictments against the
miserable offenders confined in the
county jail, and finding everything
satisfactory at the poor farm and hos
pital, it is an utterly useless body and
might as we'll be abolished; the county
attorney could attend to these matters
without it's assistance; if, on the other
hand, it proceeds to investigate
abuses in high and low places, it nav
become of real use to the. community.
and grand juries do sometimes do this

DOZEN PEOPLE KILLED
DISASTROUS WRECK OCCURS ON
AN ELEVATED RAILROAD IN
NEW YORK CITY.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE death list
of the accident on the Ninth avenue
elevated railroad, when car crowded
with early morning workers on their
way downtown pitched headlong into
the street, stands at twelve. Three
men are in hospitals with fractured
skulls. One of these, who as yet re-
main unidentified at Roosevelt hos
pital, is unconscious and not expected
to live. More than two score of per-
sons were injured, many of them Sc
riously.
Whatever may have caused the mis-
take, the accident, the worst in the
history of the overhead railroads In
New York, came when a southbound
train on the Ninth avenue line was
switched off to the Sixth avenue line
at the Fffty-third streeS junction. The
motorman, expecting a clear track on
the direct line Of Ninth avenue, or
disregarding the warning signal that
the switch was open, rushed his train
along at high rate of speed. The
first car swung around the right angle
curve, holding to the rails because of
the weight of the train behind Then
the strain became too great The
couplings broke, the second car was
whirled above almost end for end,
and to the horror of those who looked
on from below pitched into the street.

SWEDEN STANDS FIRM
CONDITIONS FOR DISSOLUTION
OF UNION WITH NORWAY
UNALTERABLE.

Stockholm, Sweden, Sept. 13.-The
delegates of Norway and Sweden APP
pointed to discuss the dissolution Of
the union of the two countries will re
assemble at Karlstad, Sweden, during
the day and as 1t is declared here that
the Swedish conditions are unalterable
the outcome seems to depend on the
Norwegian acceptance of these condi-
tons. The tone adopted by the Nor
wegian newspapers is very threaten
ing and is considered to be specially
significant coming after Mondays
meeting of the Norwegian delegates.
1t is recognized that a breach may
follow the reassembling of the dele
gates and the Swedish authorities are
preparing for such an eventuality.

NELSON DEFEATS JIMMY BRITT,
CALIFORNIA; Greatest Little Fighter
Beaten by the Dane

6osten py the Oans.
Colma, Cal, Sept. 11.-Battling Mel
son defeated Jimmy Britt at the Col
ma Athletic club, after eighteen
rounds of the fiercest fighting ever
witnessed on the Pacific coast.
IL undoubtedly was the greatest
lightweight battle of the decade. So
desperately did the men fight that
both were covered with gore early
In the battle, while $4,000 spectators
went wild over the fierce mix-ups and
exchanges.
For seventeen rounds il was ham.
mer and tongs, with Britt having the
better of the fight until the end
Britt opened the eighteenth round
by jabbing Nelson in the face and fol.
lowed il with right and left to the
same spot They mixed Y up, when
suddenly Nelson whipped a terrific
right 10 Britt,s jaw and the latter
went down like log. The blood was
streaming from his nose and mouth
as he made feeble effort to rise,
but he slowly sank back, and Referee
Graney counted him out, while Mel,
son stood few feet away waiting for
the gritty little California fighter to
regain his feet.
