Emmett Will Trade Horses.

J. E. Kienitz of the Cambridge In
dependent, who spent the winter in
the legislative committee rooms, has
this to say of Emmett Mark:
Representative Mark of Princeton
was always present to answer roll
call, unless called away to sell a car
load of horses at the Midway or some
other horse market. Mr.. Mark knows
a good horse when he sees one and he
doesn't let even legislative duties in
terfere with a good horse trade. But
Mark did his duty as a member of the
legislature during the past session,
and he was considered one of the best
mixers in the lower house. He sue
ceeded in getting an appropriation of
81, 400 for Mile Laos county from the
State road and bridge fund.-

Andrews Opera Company.

Ed Andrews, the popular operate
comedian, who will appear here Tues
day evening, May 9th, in his new
musical comedy Birds of Feather, y
is meeting with unusual success this
season in this new piece. Those who
have seen it pronounce it the best in
which he has ever appeared.
The splendid artists accompanying
Mr.. Andrews enable him to produce
musical features seldom if ever heard
in musical comedy. The piece itself
is unusually funny, with the most
laughable situations and an excep-
tionally clever plot, it being a com
bination of grand opera comic opera
and farce comedy so cleverly con
structed that it keeps an audience con.
yulsed with laughter and at the same
time charmed by the delightful music.
1T is my intention,' said Mr.. An
drews, ito give to a long suffering
public legitimate comedy that is
really funny, comedy with a plot
and singers who can sing," and judg.
ing from the words of praise proceed
ing the attraction he has succeeded
admirably.

Tramps Take Revenge.

Two weeks ago the u Mon gave an
account of the manner in which Earl
Basin, boy near Elk River, shot
one of three men who broke into his
fathers house. Since that time three
negroes have been camping near the
place in deserted house and last
Friday morning while Basin and his
son who did the shooting, were at
work in a field a half mile from their
home, they saw two men take an arm
full of straw from the barn, set fire to
it and shove it through the window.
Basin hurried to the house but the
blaze had been set against inhamma-
BILE material and the building was
burning beyond hope Of saving when
he arrived. A few household articles
were saved.

A Successful. Teachers. Meeting,

The second meeting of the Mile
Laos County Teachers association
held in Milaca Saturday was attended
by fully sixty teachers, number of
ex-teachers, several members of
school boards and many citizens of
Milaca.
The program was carried out as
published last week, with only slight
variations as to arrangements. A
very creditable showing was made by
teachers Ida King. Maud Farnham,
Mary Larkin and Bessie Norton in
the papers they read before the asso-
citation. Mrs. Phipps, Miss Sellhorn,
Miss Edwards, Mr.. Palmer, Mr.. Pin
ney and many others entered into dis
cussion of the papers with. hearty
spirit.
! The Ladies Choral Club of Milaca,
Of fifteen members, is a musical or
ganization that Milaca may we'll be
proud of. They are all good singers
and as an aggregation furnished some
|
excellent music.
Professor Palmer's address on the
schools as he found them in the
Philippines, was an interesting one,
and many favorable remarks were
heard as to his ability as speaker.
Mrs. Claire Galley sang the selec.
tion Gall 'Tis True,'' in her inimita-
BILE style, and responded to a very
hearty encore with a beautiful lul-
laby.
The next meeting will be held in
Princeton, Mimi. October 26th, 1905.
The papers read, the spirit of dis.
cussion aroused, the fine music, and
the interested manner of the specta.
tors, all serve to show that the asso.
citation is on permanent basis and
destined to be a helpful factor in the

From the Minneapolis Tribune
LIFE INSURANCE PRESIDENTS AND
POLITICS.
There is going to be strong agitation
for increased power of State govern
ments to supervise, regulate and con-
troll the business of life insurance.
This ought to go along with more
complete enforcement of the life in
+surance departments of State govern
ments from partisan or other politics.
When it is necessary for the life in
surance department Of State govern
INERT TO assume controi of company,
remove its officers and directors and
appoint others, the presidency ought
not to be considered means of paying
campaign debt or refuge for a
politician out of job. That is not
the way to rehabilitate the business of
a life insurance company that has
been mismanaged, Or to restore pub
lie confidence that has been shaken by
rumor OF mismanagement and inter-
vention of the State. On the con-
trary, the insurance department ought
to shut its eyes resolutely to every
political consideration and look for
business men trained and competent
to I'll the places it has been obliged
to vacate.
1t is known that Mr.. James j. Hill
refused to go on the Equitable inves-
tigating committee because he would
not take responsibility for acts he had
no time to prepare himself to partici-
pate in fully. It is reported that he
was offered the presidency Of the COM
pany and declined that also. We hope
the latter story is true, because it in
dicates that the controlling powers
will perhaps have sense enough to
look for man who knows as much
about life insurance as Mr.. Hill knows
about railroads.
We hope it is not true that the office
of president of the Equitable was also
offered to General Miles and to Judge
Gray of Delaware. These are very
worthy persons, though in sense
they are politicians out of Job.
But what under the blue empryean
arch of heaven does any of them know
about the business of life. insurance?
Next thing we shall hear that the place
has been offered to Judge Parker, who
contributed greatly to the election of
the present New York state admins
tration, as we'll as that of President
Roosevelt, by running on the Demo-
cratic ticket.

New Bridge Completed.

The new bridge on the road recently
laid out from Princeton into the
northern part of thestown of Baldwin
is completed. The work has been
done under the supervision Of E. F..
Douglas and has been carried on in a
very expeditions manner. The work
was commenced three weeks ago, and
during that time about one mile OF
road has been opened through the
heavy timber, a twenty bridge
built over ravine and the bridge
across the river all completed and
ready for travel. The road is not vet
as smooth as could be wished, but it
is used and the people southeast of
town think it great saving, not only
in distance but in the work of travel
ing. The old road was very sandy
and billy, while the new one is COM
paratively level and runs over hard
ground. Much Of the work on the
road has been contributed by the
farmers interested and the piling was
furnished by them. This road has
been opened and the two bridges
mentioned have been built at an out
lay probably not exceeding $1,000.
The village council appropriated $3.50,
the State appropriation is. 5000, the
county appropriation $500 and the
balance has been secured by private
contributions. 1t is not expected that
the grading across the river bottom
west Of the bridge will be done this
season and in times of high water it
may be necessary to travel the old
road, but during all ordinary times
this road will save about one mile in
| the distance to Princeton.

DeaGn OF ROBERT burrOW.
Robert Burrow. who has been a
resident of Princeton for seven years,
died at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Wesley Page at ten O'Clock p. NJ,
April p, 1905 of consumption. He
was single.
Robert Burrow was born in Brook
Ign, N. Y, May is, 1866, and at an
early age displayed great industry
and aptitude for business, working
his way steadily up to responsible
position with large paper house in
New York. At the age of twenty five
years his industry and frugality were
represented by a bank account of
$4,000. About eight years ago his
health commenced to fail and he de-
termined on giving up his work and
seeking a change Of climate. He first
went to Arizona, where he spent about
one year, but found no benefit and
then came to Mile Laos county. He
stayed at Mile Laos lake near Edith
six months and then came to Prince
ton, where he has ever since resided.
For time he seemed to be regaining
his health, but during the past three
years his friends could see a decline
although he would not admit it,, but
had faith in eventually recovering.
His home was at the Commercial hotel
until that burned: since that time he
has stayed with c.. Belair until Mon
day, April "a, when his symptoms
were SO alarming that he was removed
to the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Page
where he could have perfect quiet and
the best of nursing. He grew rapidly
worse and a telegram was sent to
his family in Brooklyn, informing
them Of the probable result. Mrs.
Burrow and her son Hans arrived on
the evening train Saturday, but the
son and brother had passed beyond
all earthly troubles and his spirit was
with him who gave it. Mr.. A. Num-
met the mother and brother and i'm
parted to them their first knowledge
that Robert was dead. The physi-
clans did not anticipate SO sudden a
dissolution and it would seem that the
sick man did not realize his nearness
to deaths door, for not more than an
hour before he died he told Rev. Swim.
merton that he would be all right. On
Monday he had written on postal tC
his mother, ''Dear Mother, nothing
new"
Robert had one brother and two sis.
tiers. The mother and brother left on
Monday May l, taking the remains
with them for interment in Brooklyn.
During his seven years residence il
Princeton Robert Burrow lived ar
honorable and upright life. He pos.
sessed ample means, bank account
of $4,000, but of this he made no dis.
play. he made many friends who
sincerely regret his death.
