TEACHERS ASSOCIATION

Of Mile Laos County Will Meet in High
School, Princeton, December 9.
The Mile Laos County Teachers
association will meet in the high
school building, Princeton, at 10
O'Clock on the morning of Saturday,
Dec. 9. The program for the conven-
ton has been but partially arranged,
but so far as prepared is as follows:
In the morning the usual opening
address and business meeting. In
the afternoon an invocation by Rev.
Henderson, a recitation by Miss
Peterson of Princeton, paper by
Miss Ella B. Hanson, teacher in dis
trict 10, entitled possibilities of a
Summer, or What Teacher May do
to Raise Her Standing," and an ad-
dress by President W. A. Shoemaker
of the St. Cloud normal school.
Every teacher in the county should
make an effort to attend the meeting
if for no other purpose than to hear
President Shoemaker. His addresses
at all times contain suggestions OF
much worth to them along the lines OF
their professional work, so that if
they fail to be present they are the
losers.
It is probable that the ladies of the
Congregational church will serve din
ner, as they did last year, at the G..
A. r. hall.
This will be the last meeting in 1905.

Ben A. Cole, Formerly of Princeton, Mar

Is. A. Cole of Fergus Falls was
married yesterday Wednesday, morn

Florence Welt of that place.
Mr.. Cole and bride arrived here on

Ben A. Cole was resident of
Princeton for several years, and
prior to taking up his residence in
Fergus Falls was employed by the
Princeton Lumber company. He was
one of the most highly respected
young men of Princeton and, we are
glad to note, has made deserved
progress in the business world.
Miss Welt was one of the most pop-

Ben is fortunate in allying himself
with such charming lady.
The Union congratulates the
young people.

Sheriff Ward on Crawford.

Sheriff Ward laughs at the idea that
an atetmpt may be made to release
Crawford, the box car murderer, who
is to hang on Dec. 5, as he feels that
if an execution was ever justifable
this is the case, and that the people
of Elk River and vicinity feel the
same way. He states that he will
comply with the law. which aims to
keep executions as private as posi-
BILE, and will comply with it in spirit
as we'll as in letter. The law allows
the sheriff to invite six persons to
witness an execution, besides the
physician who pronounces the person
dead. The condemned man is also
allowed to invite three, and the sheriff
can have as many assistants as he
deems necessary. Sheriff Ward states
that not over fifteen persons in all
will witness the execution.

Its Field of Usefulness,

AS an instance of the advanta ges
derived from advertising in the
U MON, and as showing that the
U nj IONS field of usefulness extends
over an area of thousands of miles,
we may mention the fact that the
Home Drug Store this week received
an order for two bottles of Cooper's
medicine from Charles Baker of Spo-
kane, Washington. and that this or
der was a direct result of Mr..
Cooper's ad appearing in the
U Mon, copy of which Mr.. Baker
read at his boarding house. This is
but one of the scores of proofs we can
furnish that it pays to advertise in
the . n o n-that it pays to advertise
in the paper of extensive circulation,
the paper that has it's subscription
list at all times open for public in
spection.

The clerk was about to call one of

She did not give him time, however.
"Just say to him that Mrs. WINS is

The cheerful candidate did not wait

AN INFAMOUS Law
1t is Crime to Save the Life of
Motherless Little Doe Fawn
and Care for 1t,
But it Would be Perfectly Legal for
POt.Hunter to Shoot the
Helpless Animal.
Special to the Pioneer Press.

Two HarbOrS, Mimi, Nov. 13.-F.
j. Morris, a Bear river valley home
steader, last spring found a little doe
fawn, scarcely able to walk, stagger-
ing into his farm Enclosure. Mrs.
Morris took the wait in and by feed
ing it with warm milk from bottle
soon gave it strength. It soon
showed no disposition to return to the
woods to live in the wild state, and it
became great pet of the children.
Intending to remove with his family
to Hibbing to spend the winter, and
desiring to take the fawn along, Nor
ris addressed State Game Warden
Samuel F. Fullerton for permission.
Mr.. Fullerton replied that he could
not grant permission to keep a deer
in captivity. Morris now does not
know what to do with his pet. If he
leaves 1t behind it is almost sure to
be killed by hunters before the year is
out: ii he takes it to town he is liable
to arrest for violation of the state
game laws, and he has not the heart
to kill the little animal which volun-
tarily put it's life in his hands.
Our infamous game laws prepared
by Sam Fullerton, enacted by thick
headed legislators and approved by
Boss O'Connor's reform governor
makes it a crime for kind-hearted
farmers wife to save and care for a
helpless fawn, but it would have been
perfectly legal for Mrs. Morris to
have taken a knife and cut the poor
little animals throat, provided she
butchered it in the "open season."
Clement Sentenced to Eight Years.
Thomas B. Clement, the aged Fari-
bault banker convicted of misappro-
priating the bank s funds, received an
eight-year sentence at St. Paul on
Monday. He had been found guilty
on twenty-four counts, the minimum
sentence under some of which is ten
years. Judge: Page Morris of the
federal court imposed the penalty.
1t is not probable, however, that he
will begin serving his sentence for
some time, possibly several years,
and fierce legal battle is to be waged
in Clements behalf by his friends.
The case will be appealed to the
circuit court Of appeals, a bill of ex-
ceptions accompanying the appeal.
The case may also be carried to the
supreme court of the United States,
as some of the exceptions are on con-
stitutional grounds. In case it is car
ried to the highest tribunal number
of years will elapse before the case
can be settled. A new bond will be
required and new bondsman to re-
place the late A. r. McGill.
The prisoner, who is aged, has been
in precariOus health ever since the
collapse of the bank. AS he stood
before the court he bore himself with
considerable fortitude and took his
sentence manfully and without any
show Of distress. He stood erect and
looked straight into the eye of the
judge. His hands were thrust into his
overcoat pockets. Asked the usual
question if he had anything to say
why sentence should not be pro-
nounced Clement said:
II can only say l am innocent of
the charge. [ am certainly perfectly
innocent of any Intentional wrongdo-

MORNING.

The Monongahela reached a higher
stage early this morning than at any
time since the big food of 1888. The
river started rising early yesterday
morning and for a time at the rate of
three feet per hour. AT six o'clock
this morning the flood was. at its
crest. IA feet above pool level. which
makes total of at least 2s feet in
the channel.
The water poured through the low
er floor of the Barnes Touring mill on
the East Side. but in the year men
toned four feet was the depth in this
mill At the same time the old mill
which stood just below where the
present B. and o. station is now To-
Gated, was washed away, and the
railroad tracks at CASTOR junction
were submerged for quite distance.
Houses near the wharf in the First

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Generau
Davis tells of the objections raised to
the establishment of the. American
Canal ports of Ancon and Cristobal, of
postoffices within the zone and the
proposed assessment of tariffs on
goods entering therein. He is es-
pecially indignant because the Min
lister of Foreign Affairs, in letter of
protest. expressed the belief that the
opening of the ports was not in obe-
dience to orders from the American
government but was due rather to
the erroneous Interpretation of the
treaty on the part of the authorities
of the canal zone. and as this amount
ed to charge that the governor OF
the zone had acted without orders
from his own government, he felt
called upon to reply to the unwar-
ranted assertion.

of War Taft to finally smooth over
