Teachers Association Meeting.

The next meeting of the county as
ISOLATION Of teachers will be held at
Milaca on Saturday, the goth of this
month. In order to be present it may
be necessary for some to make special
exertions, but the benefit to be derived
will amply repay them for their trou-
BILE. Excellent teachers sometimes
get in the rut and fall behind through
the error of relying too much on their
own conceptions, while they might, by
mingling with others, broaden their
views and improve their usefulness.
An interesting program has been pre-
pared for the meeting at Milaca, which
is given that all may form their ideas
and be prepared to discuss the SUBJ
jects. The program is as follows:

RESIGNED FROM M1LACA SCHOOLS
But Failed to Notify the Young Man She
Left Behind Her.

But Failed to Notify the Young Man She
Left Behind Her.
Miss Sadie Keyes was one of the
popular young teachers in the Milaca
schools and had possessed such win
ming ways that a young man of that
place had hoped to make her his wife.
Such being the case the following
item, which appeared in the Sunday
Minneapolis Times, fell like a clap of
thunder on him and the young
woman's Milaca acquaintance: :St.
Clouds first runaway marriage in
which an automobile played an i'm
portant part occurred today. This
morning Harry and Arthur Coates,
sons of one of the wealthNst families
in st. Cloud, Miss Bertha Stevenson
and Miss Sadie Keyes left ST. Cloud
in the Coates automobile, ostensibly
bound for a ride in the country.
''This afternoon Frank Coates,
another brother, received a telegram
from Elk River from Harry Coates in
which the sender said he and Miss
Reyes had been married at noon and
that they had gone to st. Paul to meet
Mr.. and Mrs. John Coates. the
groom's parents, who have been
spending the winter in the south.
"The announcement of the wedding
was great surprise for it was not
generally known that Coates and Miss
Reyes were engaged. Miss .Keyes has
been teaching school at Milaca and
came to St. Cloud, where her parents
live, to spend Saturday and Sunday.
Both young people are prominent
socially.''

BIG BASE BALL DAY.
Two Games on the Princeton Dia.
mond Though the Day was
Wintry Cold.
Princeton. Easily Defeats Elk River,
But Milaca Sluggers too
Strong for Tigers.

The weather last Saturday was
wintry and the spectators at the games
were closely muffled in overcoats, but
the>interest of the base ball enthusi-
asts was at its height The first game
was between the Princeton Tigers and
Milaca Sluggers. In size the two juve-
nile clubs lined up about even, but
the up country boys proved them
selves the better players by making
a score of seven to Princeton six. If
cheers could have won the day the
Tigers would have carried off the
honors, for they had the moral sup
port of the spectators.
The next game was between the Elk
River high school team and Prince
toms first nine, of which Frank Could
ing is captain. The line up of the
clubs was as follows: Elk River,
Carl Davis captain and pitcher; Chas.
Houlton, catcher; Albert Hill, ID. !;
Harold Rand, 3D.; Earl Martens, 3b. :;
Fred Blanchette, S.; Arthur Bailey,
If; Lewis Castle, CT; Daniel White, rf.
Fred Hamlet came as substitute in
case of accident.
Princeton, Ed Woods, pitcher; A.
Peterson, catcher: C. Carlson h.: H.
Marshall, 3D.; N. Marshall, 3d.; C.
Smith, S.; Guy Cordiner, IT,; Adon
Whitney, CT; b. Harrington, IF. Dell
Slayback was substituted for Whitney
part of the game. Chas. Wheaton of
Elk River, umpire.
= The high wind and cold made fine
playing in some cases impossible but
the score was held down until the sixth
inning when it stood two to three in
favor of Princeton and was any body's
game. After that Elk River failed to
score while Princeton succeeded in
making nine more runs, total of
eleven. There were no notable feat
ures in the game with the exception of
triple play made by Princeton, in
which Wood, Carlson and H. Marshall
distinguished themselves. With men
on first and second bases an infeld Ay
was batted: the base runners both left
their bases and were put out by clever
work. It is expected that return
game will be played on SATURDAY..
April 20.

The sentence of this court is that

spoke Judge Giddings to the murderer
of Heino Lundeen at Elk River yes
terday. The convicted man will be
kept in the Hennepin county jail for
ninety days and the governor will then
fix the day for his execution. Arthur

Teachers Cruel Obstinacy,

An account comes from La Crosse.
Wis, of school teachers lack of
good Judgment which will probably
result in the loss of leg by orion
Nelson, one Of her pupils. The child
stepped upon nail during the noon
hour, but was forced to remain until
the close of the session at O'Clock.
He has been taken to the Lutheran
hospital and is in a precarious
condition from blood poisoning.
This is only another instance of the
lack of that fine perception of what is
proper, which should be considered an
essential qualification in every person
who controls the moral and physical
we'll being of our children. Along
this line we have known earnest teach
ers. who thought they were working
for the benefit of their pupils, who,
during manual exercises in the winter
opened all the windows in the room
in order that fresh air might be OBJ
tanned. So far, so good, but the re-
suits were overbalanced by requiring
the pupils to take their seats while the
temperature was cooled to forty de-
grees, to sit and SILVER and catch cold
while the rooms we're being warmed
again to the proper degree. How
long, Oh Lord, how long must set
rules take the place of good Judgment?

GIRL BRUTALLY MURDERED,
After Several Days hangled Body Found
in Thickat Near Little Falls

r
in Thicket Near Little Falls.
One of the worst crimes in the his
tory of Little Falls was discovered on
April 10th, when searchers found the
stripped and bruised body of Annie
Kintop in thicket one and one-half
miles from Darling, a town four
miles from Little Falls. The girl,
who expected to leave for the northern
part of the state to take up home
stead, had been in that city to pur-
chase some supplies and left Monday
evening on way freight for Darling,
from which station she was accus-
toned to walk to her home, which lies
about two miles from the station. -
She left the train at Darling and
after waiting at general store for
some of her folks, remarked that as
it was late they would probably not
come and left, this being the last seen
of her until her body was found.
She often spent week or two visit
ing her sister, Mrs. F. Coenen, in
Little Falls, and her parents did not
pay especial attention to her absence,
as they thought she would remain with
her sister.
Saturday morning the father and
mother, Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Kintop
went to the city and when they discov-
cred that she had left on Monday, her
brother, Phil Kintop, was sent to
search the road. He could find moth
ing and returned leaving again in the
morning in company with his brother
in-law, Frank Coenen, and together
they discovered the remains.
The coroner and sheriff were notified
and drove to the scene and investi-
gated. The girls clothing was all
torn from her body and evidences
point to the preparation of dread
full crime.
Her head was badly bruised and a
handkerchief was found tightly
knotted about her neck, all appear
ances pointing to a terrible struggle.
Charles Nelson, farmer living near
the scene of the murder, heard screams
about dusk coming from the direction
Of the Swedish church, which stands
just across the road from the place
where the body was found, and later
saw match struck in the church,
where traces of blood have been
found. It appears that the murderers
washed in the church after the murder
and remained there for some time, as

PRINCETON TOBACCO.
An Experiment In Raising and Cur
Ing 1t VIII Be nade This
Year.
Then We Will Have Corner on
Nicotine Of the Highest
Grade.

Julius Sugarman, the cigar manu-
facturer of Princeton, is of the opinion
that the climate and soil in this sec
ton is adapted to the raising of
tobacco of good quality on paying
basis. Mr.. Sugarman formerly super
intended the curing of tobacco in the
fields of Connecticut, which is the
principal crop in the state and was
considered an expert judge of crops
and conditions of the weed. The cur
ing of tobacco is in reality Mr.. Sugar
mans trade, that OF cigar making
having been taken up lately when he
was making arrangements to leave
New York and come west for the
benefit of his wife's health. Mr..
Sugarman's attention was drawn to
the matter of raising tobacco in Min
nesota by seeing fine samples of it at
the Mile Laos county fair last fall.
These samples were raised in Green
bush and other parts of the county.
Like corn and many other farm prod
ucts there are early and late varieties
of tobacco and the experts idea is that
the early broad leaf variety can be
successfully grown in this section. So
firm is his belief that he has rented
two acres of ground adjoining the
town limits on the south, where he
will experiment this year. Elmer
Woodman and W. C.. Middlebrook
are raising the plants which will be
transferred to the field in proper sea-
son.
Mr. Sugarman says that in Con-
necticut the yield per acre is from
$500 to 5000 pounds, which brings
on the market about twenty two cents
per pound. At that rate the returns
from an acre Of ground would be in
the neighborhood of 5000. Farmers
will probably be enough interested to
watch the experiment closely.

Elmer is all Right.

At least one editor among the
several who are members of the pres
ent legislature, has shown a capacity
for public affairs that warrants all
the nice things his friends said about
him previous to election. Elmer E.
Adams of the Fergus Falls Journal
has been one of the leaders, and it is
said to have introduced more bills
than any other one member. Writing
a bill for an act is just like writing
an editorial for Elmer. Ortonville

Rode Horseback Every Day.

The Sunday Pioneer Press con-
tanned neat picture of Representa-
tive and Mrs. Mark astride. their
favorite horses. with the following ac-
count OF the manner in which they en-
joyed the recreation of horseback rid
ing: Representative and Mrs. EN-
met Mark of Princeton are probabl
as ardent lovers of horses and horse
back riding as there are in Minnesota,
and they have attracted much atten-
ton in st. Paul during the present
session of the legislature. Mrs. Mark
has been in ST. Paul with her husband
most of the session, and unable to
give up their favorite pastime, they
have had their favorite saddle horses
in st. Paul during the entire session.
The animals are Kentucky thorough
breds, natural single-footers, with
six gaits.
Each morning they have mounted
their horses about O'Clock and
taken a brisk ride about the downtown
portion of town until about $50
O'Clock, until they have become
familiar figures on the streets. The
morning ride has usually included a
visit to St. Paul union depot, to ac-
custom the spirited animals to the
noise and confusion of many steam
ing locomotives. Mrs. Mark rides
astride, and declares that it is the
only proper method for woman to
ride.
Mr.. Mark is serving his third term
in the Minnesota legislature.

will be heard in recital at Jesmer's
opera house. Friday evening, April
2lst. These distinguished artists
come to Princeton with the record of
having pleased every audience before
which they have appeared. Their
press notices and letters of endorse
ment are of the sort that only artists
of great ability can win and Manager
Jesmer is to be congratulated upon
securing SO superior an attraction.
The following is from the Fargo
Forum:
Miss Charlesworth is a singer of
quality. Her voice, a glorious con-
tralto, is one of exceptio power and
sweetness, aud is so perfectly blended
that it showed equally we'll in all her
numbers. Great contraltos are rare,
and thus the addition to the ranks of
musicians of one SO gifted as Miss
Charlesworth is a matter for congrat-
ulation and special mention. In last
nights program were selections re-
quiring high degree of ability and
in every one, especially The Pipes
OF Pan, by Elgar: and group of
French songs by Chaminade, was ex-
hibited the results of long and care
full training.

audience was quick to recognize the
great artist, he unquestionably is.

driven and this part of the work will
be finished this week if nothing hap
pens to prevent work. The water was
SO high yesterday that driving on the
piles was necessarily suspended.
Much of the work is being contributed
by interested parties and with the
State appropriation the amounts con-
tributed will nearly be sufficient for
the work. The work is under the
general supervision of E. F. Douglas.
Ed. Anderson is supervising the con-

Must Have Eaten Bullheads.

+ The ST. Paul Daily News of the 18th
contained an item to the effect that
there was difference between Auditor
Whitney and the State game and fish
commission regarding the number of
fishing licenses issued in Mile Laos
county last year. There is no such
thing as a fishing license, but Mr..
Whitney issued eighty three hunting
licenses, of which he has the stubs to
show. The commission claims he is
sued ninety-three licenses, but as his
book of blanks contained only 104
and he returned twenty -one it does not
require very ponderous brain to
figure out that eighty -three must have
been the number issued.
