A GLORIOUS. FOURTH.
Rain, Mud and Slush the Predominant
Features of the National Holt
day in Princeton.
Although the Eagle May not Have
Screamed as Loudly as Usual
One was Here.

The Fourth of July has come and
gone once more and with it many
signs of thankfulness have been given
by anxious parents that there are no
accidents to record. In this respect
Princeton was more fortunate than
many other places, where the deadly
toy pistol and cannon cracker took
many lives and made many cripples.
Perhaps the fact that no praticular
celebration was to take place but that
the circus was expected to supply all
needful opportunities for the exuber-
ance of the small boys patriotism had
something to do with it, or perhaps
the rain dampened the punk so as to
make the work of shooting frecrack-
ers too arduous for a holiday. At
any rate there was less noise and con-
fusion on the streets than we have
had for many Fourth.
The day was rainy from morning
till night and under ordinary circum-
stances people would have staid at
home, but circus in Princeton would
draw a crowd under almost any con-
ditions, and when Gollmar's show was
opened fully three thousand people
occupied the seats, and there they sat,
many of them on damp. seats, with
umbrellas up to protect themselves
from the shower of water which ran
through the tent, and watched the ami
NAL tricks and fool tricks of the
clowns just the same as everybody at
a circus does, wondering all the while
how people can be interested in such
things. In the evening the crowd at
the show was small, but as there was
no other amusement for the. evening
about three hundred were present.
The unpleasant weather made the
proposed picnics and celebrations at
the lakes and other places out of town
impossible. There were no lulls in
the storm of sufficient duration to
allow the eating of ice cream and
drinking of the colored lemonade in
paying quantities and by those inter-
ested in stands about town the day
was pronounced almost failure.

The Great Northern Extensions

The Great Northern railway is do
ing great work in North Dakota by
the numerous extensions of it's line in
to new settlements. It is but few
years since this road took the first
colony of settlers into that country
and now it is furnishing thousands of
homes for prosperous farmers. Not
content with the lines already built
the company has now under way the

Postmaster TOlin is Married.

Last Saturday evening very pretty
wedding took place at Tolin, Isanti
county, when Erick Tolin was mar
ried to Engeborg Erickson. The cere-
mony was performed by Pastor Nilsson
OF Dalbo. About 150' guests were
present, many of them being from
Cambridge and Princeton. An or
chestra was in attendance and fur
nished music for dancing and amuse-
ment. The repast served was very
nice and was the subject of many com
remarks.

GOllnar's Circus.

While Gollmar Bros. have nothing
in the menagerie line to compare with
Rlnglings, they have a very good
show for small towns. Their street
parade was good, the bands and
calliope all that could be desired and
people were we'll satisfied. The per-
formances inside thu tanf so
in quality and sufficient in quantity.
The racing was as good as seen in
any large show and superior to
some. One excellent feature of Coll
mars show is the exclusion of all
fakir business and there have been no
reports of the fleeing of unsuspecting
individuals.

mond, the ceremony was performed
which united in marriage George b.
Hawes and Ida M. Brandt, both of

Box Car Merchants.

The following circular letter is be-
ing sent by Milton Frenham, assist
ant dairy and food commissioner:
6 It has come to the notice of this
department that lduring past years
there have been operating within the
borders of this State, agents of nom
taxpaying, nonresident firms, who by
their methods have undermined the
business of the legitimate merchant.
1t frequently happens that these
agents, commonly called sbox-car
merchants, are in the habit of swim
ding and poisoning the public with
their short weight and adulterated
food-stuffs. In order that the con-
sumer may have better protection
from this class of merchants, legisla
ton on this subject was secured at
the recent session, in what is known
as the Lauritsen Law, giving the State
Dairy and Food department increased
powers to act. That this department
may be more efficient in the enforce
ment of these laws, we ask of the mer-
chants of Minnesota their hearty CO.
operation. We suggest that in the
various cities and villages throughout
the State there be appointed commit
tees, whose duties it will be to notify
this department of the day on which
the 'box-car merchant is expected to
deliver, his goods. Upon the receipt
OF message, we will Immediately
send an inspector to investigate and
prosecute: In union there is strength:
with your assistance we can give the
public and the business interests of
your town and this State greater pro-
lection. Kindly bring this matter to
the attention of your business mems
association, and if you have no such
organization, to the business men who
are interested in the welfare of .your
community.

Decision of Election Judges Supreme

Judge William Watts, of the Four
teenth judicial district who some time
ago held in the case of the Mcintosh
saloon keepers versus the village of
Mcintosh, that the report of the cleo
ton judges in towns and villages are
supreme and non appealable, has been
sustained by the supreme court of the
State.
In the decision handed down by
the supreme court last Saturday, it
was held that the use of the writ Certi-
orari will not be extended beyond it's
naturla scope because there is no
other remedy, and that the decision of
the election board as to the license
question must be fnal.-Crookston

THE COURT DECIDES
Three District Court Decisions on
Mile Laos County Cases are
Made by Judge Searle.
The Ollie Barker Estate Loses While
Rines & Company are VIM
ners in the Game.

Judge Searle has lately rendered
his decision in three cases which were
tried before him in the district court
OF Mile Laos county. One of these
is the old case of Coulter against the
Ollie Barker estate, for support and
care OF Mrs. Barker while sick in Col
orado. When the case was in probate
court Coulter's bill was for nearly
$4,000 and the judge of probate cut it
down to about $500 and allowed it at
that. Coulter appealed from this de-
cision to the district court where he
secured verdict for about $4,000.
The estate made motion for new
trial which is denied in Judge Searle's
decision and the Judgment in favor of
Coulter stands.
The second decision is in the case
OF Isaac W. Carr against C. 81. Rines
q Company for damages alleged to
have been sustained more than year
ago on account of the non-delivery of
potatoes which it was claimed had
been contracted for. Judgment is
rendered in favor of Rines & Co.
The third is in the action for divorce
OF Esther Emma Nokes against
Charles Albert Nokes. The divorce
was asked for on the grounds of
cruel and inhuman treatment and
is granted with permission for the
plaintiff to resume her maiden name
of Esther Emma Drescher

The SUMNER SCHOOL
Good Material Present at the Opening
Session and Months Good
Work is Ahead.
Nearly all the Resident Teachers
are Present and the Others
are Expected Soon.

The teachers training school opened
in Princeton yesterday, with fair
attendance. The opening coming so
soon after the Fourth probably kept
some from being enrolled on the first
day and the rain was also factor in
keeping the enrolment down. Supt.
Ewing reported that even under the
unfavorable conditions the number
enrolled yesterday was about forty.
There are two instructors for the reg
ular studies and Mrs. H. C. Cooney
will have charge of the instruction in
music.
The school will be in session four
weeks and will be followed immedi-
ately by the regular examination for
State teachers certificates. Nearly all
the teachers who reside in the county
are enrolled and will be regular at
PENDANTS during the term. The pro-
gram as arranged yesterday may be
changed to suit future requirements
and will probably be published later
when everything is in working order.
For the present Conductor A. N.
Farmer has the classes in arithmetic
one and two, algebra and grammar
Instructor LII. Pryor has. history,
physics and geography. and Mrs. II.
G. Cooney has music. The lessons in
civics are now of general nature.
It is hoped by the faculty that the at
tendance will be regular, as irregular
attendance at these training schools
is as detrimental to thorough work
as it is in the common schools. If all
who are enrolled enter enthusiastically
into their work the school will be a
successful one even though the num-
Der present is not large.

Clients are Protected.

In decision of the supreme court
made on June 80, the rights of clients
in land transactions of a certain kind
is set forth. The case as stated by
the court was as follows: s
According to the allegations, the
land company was the agent for the
plaintiff in a proposed sale of real
estate owned by her. The company
claimed to be unable to find a pur-
chaser, and, later, took the land off
Rds at the figure she originally
paid for it. No sooner was the deal
consumated than the company turned
the property over to third party at
considerable advance. The plain
tiff, on finding that she had been a
loser, sued for the difference, and a
jury gave it to her. Judge Jaggard
wrote the opinion, affirming the order
OF the lower court, and, in his sylla-
bus, said:
g The evidence in this case was
sufficient to justify the jury in finding
that the defendants were the agents of
the plaintiff for the sale Of land.
{" "A real estate agent enjoys no
exemption from the ordinary rules
governing the relationship of princi-
pal and agent.
" Such an agent owes to his prin-
cipal the duty of making full, fair
and prompt disclosure of all circum-
stances affecting the principals rights
or interests. Whatever advantage ac-
crues to him by a violation of that
duty he must make good to the princi-
pal. If, after he has, in fact, con-
tracted to sell land to a third person
at an advanced price, he purchases
the land himself from his principal,
without disclosing the contract, and.
if he thereafter completes the sale, he
renders himself liable to his principal
in damages. ."

out the charlatanry that preys on ig-
norant consumptives like vampires
through advertisements claiming mi
raculous and divine cures.
CDR. VIM. Osler, whose half-meant
declaration that men should be chic
reformed at sixty has caused so much
comment, said the hope for, the eradi-
cation of consumption lies in educa-
ton of the public, the profession and
the patient. The duties of the public,
he said, are the enactment of laws, the
proper care of early cases and es-
pecially the care of the hopeless cases,
as it is they that spread the disease.
The profession, he said, should be so
educated that they can recognize early
cases. This, he confessed, they could
not always do. Medical students, he
said, should have access to tuberculo-
sis patients so as to gain practice in
diagnosis. Lastly he touched upon
the education of the patient: let no
physician withhold the true nature of
the disease from them, he said
Talcott Williams Of Philadelphia
said that if consumption were taken
at the early initial period 800 would
bridge the chasm from disease to re-
covery. This fact,' said he, needs
to sink into the public conscience.
Not person or family among the
well-to-do but sees some case in those
employed that can be saved if air,
leisure and food are provided. In
Germany seventy per cent of the early
cases are cured, he said.''

Handling Dynamite and Kerosene.


The frequent fatal accidents result
ing from the careless handling of
dynamite, kerosene, gasolene and
electricity seem to call for warnings
to people to be more careful. Warm
ings will probably avail nothing, as
there are people so constituted that
they can not realize danger until they
have been the victims of some fright
full calamity. They know it all and
in the face of the facts which daily
prove the danger of carelessness in
handling these things they say they
have never had any accidents. Prob
ably not. The ones who have had
the accidents are not alive to tell their
experiences. Day after day we read
similar accounts of those who have
poured kerosene on live Goals, put
gasolene in a tank near a fire, put
dynamite in the oven, or handled cleo
trio lights without taking due pre-
caution. All these things are closely
connected with the daily lives of the
people and all can be used with a fair
degree of safety if handled rightly.
Some who have used thousands of
dollars worth of dynamite say they
never thaw it by a fire, but put it in a
receptacle filed with warm water and
place it away from any building: In
that way there is no danger from
overheating and little danger from
conclusion. If kerosene is poured on
a small live coal the fire will be ex-
tinguished, but if it is put on a bed of
Goals or even hot ashes or wherever
there is heat enough to generate a
gas, an explosion follows, the vio-
lence Of which depends only on the
amount of the kerosene within reach.
If there is fire in the stove never pour
kerosene on it. "An ounce of pre-
ventive is worth a pound of cure'' and
in the handling of explosives it is fire.
quently worth the lives of several peo-
pie.

Indiana has law which provides
fora minimum wage, below which no
teacher can be paid. For the first
years work the teacher is paid a
daily amount equal to two and one
fourth times the percentage made in
the examination for certificates, rep
resenting this percentage in cents.
For the second and third years the
daily wage is to equal two and one
half times the percentage and after
that the wage is to be two and three
fourths' For instance: The percent
age on examination is eighty Repre-
sent this as eighty cents and multiply
by ~, we have $3.50 per day for the
first year. It is good law, as it
gives the teacher an incentive for i'm
provement.

According to an opinion by j. w.
Olson, State superintendent of schools,
no discrimination can be made by
boards of education in the granting
OF free text books. Mr.. Olson's opin-
ion is in part as follows: ''The board
OF education of each and every school
district a,aachIaalI 80
books needful for the use Of the
schools under it's charge; such board
has also the power to provide for the
loan free of charge or sale at cost of
such text books to pupils in attend.
ance at such schools. The law does
not authorize trustees or boards of
education to make any discrimination
in the loan Or sale of text books to
pupils, and such board, in my opin-
ion, would not be authorized to fur
nish books free of charge for the
grades, but refuse to furnish them
upon the same terms to the high
school pupils, and if free text books
are furnished to part of the school,
they should be furnished to the whole
school. The question of furnishing
free text books is to be determined
either at a meeting called of the legal
voters upon ten days notice, or the
question may be submitted at any
annual meeting upon a proper notice
given"
