San Francisco, March 6.-The Call

ing. The stomach, kidneys and heart
were found upon examination, it is
said, to be in a very healthy condition
and much above those of the average
woman of Mrs. Stanfords age. There
was, however, a swelling of the heart
that the report says would only be
produced in death resulting from
strychnine poisoning. No trace OF
strychnine was found by the chem.
lists in the stomach yet agree that
there is no longer any doubt of the
cause of the death of Mrs. Stanford.

sessing in the village nearly finished,
having only few here and there to
gather into the fold. AS each per-
sons property is listed the owner, or
the one in whose possession it is
found, is given slip of paper which
shows the amount at which the prop
erty is valued, and also states that
the village or town board of review
will meet on Monday, the 26th day of
June, to look over the assessment
books and adjust any inequalities Of
valuation which they may find or
which may be called to their notice.
This is the proper time for those who
are dissatisfied to appear and offer

The Village Council Met.

At its meeting last Friday night the
village council was busy until late
hour but the time was occupied with
matters of minor Importance. Among
other things considered was that of
license for two-ring circuses, which is
at present S25. It was voted to pass
an ordinance making the license 500.
This hits Golmar Bros. who thought
OF showing here on the Fourth, but
finally said that Princeton was a good
town at any time and they would go
some place where they needed Fourth
OF July crowd. A number of citizens
had offered to pay their license if they
would come here on the Fourth.
The application for license for sa-
loon to be put into the Cowles build
ing was turned down, the council
thinking there were saloons enough
here now. It is understood that the
buying of this property from Mrs.
Cowles was contingent on securing the
saloon license and that now the sale
has been declared off. The matter of
grading on Third street is in the
hands of committee and the work
will be commenced at an early day.

An Old Resident Gone.

Last Monday morning Luther Elan
ders died at the home of Charles judi
kins, in the town of Baldwin, Sher-
burne county at the advanced age of
ninety-six years, the cause being gen
eral decline from old age. The de-
ceased was born in Rumford, Maine
in 1909, and spent some time in Can
ada. coming to Minnesota in 1868. He
has lived in the vicinity OF Princeton
for many years. AS age crept upon
him he was unable to support himself
and has depended on charity during
the last fifteen years, eleven of which
have been passed at the home of
Charles Judkins. The funeral was
held from the Judkins home on Tues
day: June -, at O'Clock p. ~, Rev.
GLADDEN. of Spencer Brook, officiating.
Interment was made in the Baldwin
cemetery.

tuted. If this time is allowed to pass
without objection by property owners
who think they are assessed too high
their only recourse is to appear be-
fore the board of county commissions
ers and then the matter must be re-
ferred to the State auditor with the
chances that the claim will not be al
lowed. Much trouble and often some
injustice would be avoided if property
owners were little more awake to
their own interests and would attend
to their business affairs as business
men do. Look at your slip left by
the assessor and if you think you are
assessed for too much, look after the
matter in your own town on June 26,
and do not wait until you are obliged
to take whole day, or perhaps two,
to attend meeting of the county com
missioners, with a good prospect of
failure in your plans.

WILL ILLUSTRA ATE.
Mile Laos County to Receive its
Share of Well Deserved Conn
plimentary Notices.
The State immigration Bureau Will
use Pictures rlade by Rupert
Swinnerton.

In his work of compiling statistics
and issuing pamphlets giving imfor-
nation concerning the vacant State
lands in Minnesota, their mineral
wealth, their agricultural resources
and their general excellence, the State
auditor proposes to issue a booklet
filled with testimonials from men who
have grown up with the country and
have made success of farming in
Minnesota. These testimonials will
be accompanied by numerous pictures
showing farm buildings which have
been paid for by those who have
given their attention exclusively to
farming. In connection with this
work State Auditor Iverson has writ
ten to M. S. Rutherford, asking him
to provide some pictures and testi-
monials of the kind mentioned for
publication in the booklet. AS this
county is one in which sale of State
lands will be held Mr.. Rutherford
recognizes the value of the proposed
work, but as he was obliged to leave
Princeton this week the matter has
been given into the hands of Rev.
Rupert Swinnerton and he is now at
work collecting the material and data
for a good writeup of some six or
eight men who have been successful in
farming in Mile Laos county. AS
there are great many farmers in the
county who have succeeded beyond
their expectations the only trouble
will be to keep the record down to the
number required. For dairying,
stock raising and general agricultural
advantages Mile Laos county is sur
passed by none in the State.

81 the council to summon the riksdag

of the council to summon the riksdag
for an extraordinary session June
30. The crown prince was present at
the sitting, which had before it the
resolution of the Norwegian storthing.
The premier denounced it as revolu-
tionary. The designations of the
ministers of Sweden and Norway at
Copenhagen, Rome and Madrid were
rendered by telegraph and accepted"
From Christiana the report says:
"The Norwegian tri-color was
hoisted today over Akershus fort and
throughout the country in place of
the union flag. The substitution was
attended by great ceremony at the
fort where the members of the storth-
ing and 10000 people were assembled.
The garrison was paraded in front Of
the quarters of the commandment Of
the fort and the commandant read the
resolution of the storthing dissolving
the union with Sweden.
GAS the clock in the tower of the
fort chimed ten, the union flag, which
had hoated there since 1914, was
haulded down, the troops presented
arms: the band played the patriotic
air, Sons of Norway and after
only a momentary interim the first
gun of a national salute doomed, the
new flag was broken out and the
troops again presented arms. The
people then uncovered and cheered
wildly, the band adding to the general
enthusiasm by playing the popular
air Yes We Love This Country ,"
''The government Of Norway and
the storthing continue to receive from
all parts of the country expressions
of gratitude for their action, and the
communal authorities are voting ad-
dresses approving of the new regime.
"a telegram from Bjornstjerne
Bjornson, the Norwegian .dramatist,
sums up the popular feeling as fol-
| lows:
1.-The address to the king is an ex-
preston of the will of the entire Nor
wegian people. The dissolution of
the union is a blessing for the entire
north.
1.-The department of commerce has
furnished all the consuls general with
copies of the storthing resolution and
has invited them to notify their re-
spective governments of the dissolu-
ton of the uniOn.''

Greenbush ditch last year, put in bids
on the work and we're given the con-

estimate, will amount to $4,000. This

anxious to do part Of this work and
sthe matter is hanging fire between him
and the contractors. The same parties
secured the Buck lake ditch at the
same price, which amounts for that
work to S2, $50. This ditch is farther
west, but will run through some pretty
wet country. The contractors expect
to commence work next Monday with
crew of about twenty men.
Mendenhall and Duboise secured the
contract for the longest ditch of all,
about eighteen miles. The Unio n

tract.

Death of Willie Rossing.

Willie Rossing, aged thirteen years,
son OF Martin Rossing of Baldwin,
Sherburne county, died very unex-
pectedly last Sunday at two o'clock
in the afternoon. The boy had been
sick for about week, but was not
confined to his bed all the time and his
illness was not considered serieas~and.
no physician was called until last
Sunday morning when his father be-
came alarmed and sent for DR.. Armi-
tage who arrived at the house about
nine O'Clock. He found the boy in a
state of collapse, his hands were cold
and it was evident to him that death
was near at hand. Such proved to be
the case for within five hours he had
claimed the boy. The doctor did not
undertake diagnosis of the case, but
found an enlargement across the up
per part of the abdomen which might
have resulted from several causes.
There is no doubt that had the
parents realized the seriousness of
the case physician would have been
called sooner, but it was thought to
be only some indisposition which
would pass away without medical aid.
The funeral was held Monday, June
II, from the family residence. Rev. J.
r. Henderson officiating. The re-
mains were Inferred in the Baldwin
cemetery. ::
