Odd Fellow Fees Unchanged.

B. M. Van Alstein and L. S. Briggs
were representatives from the local
lodge of Odd Fellows to the grand
lodge which met in ST. Paul last
Thursday. The grand lodge refused
the request of the country lodges to
reduce the lodge fees. The country
lodges said they could not increase
their memberships unless the fees were
lowered. A compromise was at
tempted to authorize the grand mas
ter to issue special dispensations be-
low the minimum rate, but this was
also defeated. It was decided that
applicants for membership must have
six months residence in the district
where the lodge to which they apply
is located. It was also decided to
merge the widows and orphans fund
with the general fund. Minneapolis
was decided on as the place for hold
ing the session of the grand lodge in
June 1906.

for $40 each. At present there are
forty-fve stockholders in the company
and the number is constantly increas-
ing. A building has been erected and
machinery of latest Improvement furn-

Defacing the New Bridge.

An innate spirit of mischief seems
to be present in some boys and even
some older than boys, which prompts
them to cut and otherwise deface any
public structure to which they have
free access. It is hard to understand
what satisfaction they can derive from
this habit, for certainly it will require
more than rude carving of it on the
railings of bridge to cause any
name to go down to history in halo
of glory. Such work is only an ad-
vertisement of the idleness and need
of better employment of the ones who
are guilty of it. The new bridge al
ready shows some of this work and it
is much to be regretted.

Che Steeyes-Cater Land Case.

Inc SIeeyeS-Cater Land Case.
The 160 acres of land three miles
northeast of Princeton, which be-
longed to the Ed. Cater estate, has
caused considerable litigation in one
way and another the principal trouble
being between Marian and Flossie
Cater who claimed four-ifteenth
interest in the land. The case was in
the district court in this county and
was decided by Judge Searle in favor
OF Robt. Sleeves. E. L. Mcmillan.
attorney for the Caters, appealed the
case to the State supreme court and
was in St. Paul two weeks ago to
argue the case before the court, and
on June Is, it rendered it's decision
reversing the judgment of Judge
Searle and giving title to the four
htteenths interest to the Caters on a
technicality arising from an order of
sale by the probate court which the
supreme court held to be invalid be-
cause of lack of proper publication.
Now that the Caters have been ad-
judged the owners of this undivided
part of the land the next problem
which confronts them is a settlement
with Sleeves, either through sale or
purchase. AS there is said to be a.
minor who is entitled to a share of
the property it can not very well be
sold.

Princeton vs.. Elk river

After considerable statesmanlike
diplomacy on the part of the two
clubs, which was rendered necessary
because the Elk River club does not
play ball on the home grounds on
Sunday and the Princeton boys find
it hard to get away on other days of
the week, the two clubs managed to
get together on the Elk River grounds
last Tuesday and according to all
accounts it was a battle royal. The
batteries on each side made good rec
ords, Woods, as usual, striking out
more men than his opponent. He had
fourteen to his credit while for Elk
River Wheaton had but eight. The
game was a swift one all the way
through and kept Harry Pratt on his
m'etttle to keep things straight. Four
errors are marked against each club.
and for Princeton its errors were
costly ones, as the game resulted in a
score of four to two in favor of Elk
River. This leaves the clubs with
one game to the credit of each and
the third game will be fought hard by
both sides. Whenever it comes it will
be worth seeing. The score by in
nings follows:

OFF FOR THE CAMP !.
Company q Goes to Lake City Camp
Again for its Annual Cutting
Drill and March.
The Boys Will not be Idle While
There, as They Have Hike
in Prospect.

Company G, Third Inf. M. N. G.
left Princeton on Tuesday morning,
June 20, for Camp Lakeview, at1Lake
City, MINI. Afording as it does a
lake front and background of hills,
with beautiful view of the rising
shore Of Lake Pepin on the Wisconsin
side, this place continues to be the
popular camping ground of the Min
nesota regiments on their summer out
ing trips each year. The members of
Company G, as we'll as others in the
regiment would have preferred a
march through the country this year,
but as that was not chosen they all
concluded to get what enjoyment was
possible from the camping at Lake
City. That the trip was not consid-
cred anything like a hardship is
proven from the fact that forty-six of
the company are in camp, although
the payment of seven dollars would
have been accepted in lieu of the at
tendance of any member. Lieutenant
G. r. Galley has been a member of the
company for three years and has al
ways been anxious to go to camp with
the boys but has been detained by
professional work and this year has
been no exception, although he will
try to visit camp before it breaks up.
The train which took the company out
OF Princeton contained several cars
filled with the soldier boys of up coun-
try places, who greeted the Princeton
contingent with hearty cheers as they
marched to their car. The proceed
ings were new to some young mem
bers whose curiosity peeped through
their dignity, but the company con-
tains some Spanish war veterans
whose trip to Chicamauga smoothed
the rough edges and they seemed like
patriarchs among the others. AS the
train pulled out it was followed by the
fcheers of the townspeople who had
gathered to see its company of SOL
ldiers Off. ..-...-.iss.s..,
On Monday a detail consisting OF
Cooks Howard and Johnson and Pri-
Yates King and Manke were sent
ahead and on the arrival of the COM
pany at its destination it found every
thing in readiness and a good supper
awaiting it at six o'clock. Company
G is color company this year, with
Privates Boyne and Jaenicke as color
guard.
The members at camp are, Capt.
Galley, First Sergt. Boyn. Quarter
Master Sergt. sellhorn, sergts. Tritch
and Marshall, Corporals Edmison,
Bulls, Reissig, Mergel and Marshall.
Artifcer Whitcomb, Cooks Howard
and Johnson, and thirty-three pri-
Yates. Company G constitutes the
Second battalion in Major Risks OF
Duluth. It has the same row of tents
and the same cook house it had last
year and the veterans feel at home
and no doubt some of the younger
recruits have wished themselves at
home before this, about the time they
went up in the blanket or down into
the lake, but they will be old in time
and will get even on the next raw lot.
After reaching camp it was learned
that the company would start with the
Second battalion, June %, on prac-
tice march on the road to Red Wing,
carrying rations and tents, and Lieut..
Galley was busy yesterday morning
sending the boys some needed acou-
trements. The regiment will break
camp next Wednesday.

head a large ring-shaped device, or
crown. from which reached down metal
lie rods, terminating in telephone ear
pieces. In some puzzling manner the
music got into the crown, and so was dis
tinctly heard, thought faint. Careful
search failed to reveal connection be-
tween the visible and adjustable head
piece and any circuit leading to the or
chestra, and there really was none.
However, hidden in the roof of the
booth, only few feet above the hearers
head, was large coil Of wire and pow

with the enormous transmitter that was
suspended over the distant musicians.
The unseen coil induced current in an
other one within the crown, and the lat

ELEVATION AND CLIMATE.
All Are Familiar with Relation Of One
to the Other-Facts and
Figures.

Everybody is familiar with the fact
that elevation affects the climate. In
California snow-capped mountains are
numerous in summer, while in the
plains below snow seldom falls in the
coolest weather of winter. But how
many readers can tell at what rate ele-
walton produces a change Of tempera-
ture? In Diapers great work of The
Intellectual Development of Europe"
Vol. l, page 20, referring to the general
elevation of Europe since the tertiary
period of more than 1000 feet. he re-
marks that IAN elevation of $50 feet is
equal to one degree of cold in the mean
annual temperature, or to go inches on
the surface northward" At this rate
the top of a mountain $4,000 feet high
would be almost 43 degrees colder than
the general elevation at the base; and
so when the thermometer shows tenn
perature of 65 degrees at the base it
would be ten degrees below the freez-
ing point at the top or % degrees Fair
enheit. With the temperature at 100 on
the plains. il would be only 81 at the top
of the mountain. The temperature at
mountain resorts may easily be deter
mined in this way, If the elevation is
known. as compared with that of Los
Angeles. for example.

The amount of grain should be linn

The well-fed sheep always produce

assures protection to the animal

forms of producing light, experimental
with Cuban firefiies among other things.
The insects we're placed in the center of

instrument in the government observa-
tory was employed to measure the
amount of heat radiated by them.
A sperm candle was used for COM
parison. and q fame spot from it which
was Just as big as the FREELY was thrown
into the mirror.
The instrument recorded the heat
from the candle at once. but no move

the instrument was so delicate that, had
the FREELY produced even as little as one
eighty -thousandth part of the heat pro-
duced by the tiny spot from the candle
it would have shown on the records.
It was different with light Compar-
ing the fame spot of the candle and the

Where fertilizers or manures have to
be relied upon lies the manural value
of a feeding stuff This is the nitro
gen in the Protein and the phosphoric
acid and potash in the ash. Wheat
bran and cotton seed neal have a nign
manural value. but that of corn meal
is low. By keeping the manure, .
large proportion of the fertilizing con-
stituents of the feed in recovered in the
manure, and can be used to enrich the
land. BY growing and feeding more
leguminous crops the amount of grain
is diminished, the value of the manure
is increased and the soil is enriched in
fertility. Leguminous crops derive the
largest part of this nitrogen from the
atmosphere during their growth, re-
quiring little application of nitrogen
Gus manures. They enrich the soil RAJ
ton in nitrogen which they derive
from the atmosphere without cost to
the farmer, besides improving the me-
chanical and physical condition Of the
soil.-Otto Irwin, in Epitomist.

THE SKIN OF A FROG.
It Is a Most Delicate and Wonderful
Breathing Machine in Addition
to Ordinary Breathing.

The frogs skin is breathing ma
chine. The supply of air is necessary
addition to that taken in by ordinary
breathing. The skin is most remark
able for its powerful absorption OF
water, due to the numberiess minute
pores. He can soak up half his weight
of water in an hour.
AS the skin perspires quite as freely
as it absorbs, we can comprehend why
contact with moisture is necessary.
Bsides the loss from evaporation there
is the stopping of skin breathing also.
because the skin must be kept moist and
soft to absorb fresh air and give of used
air from the system. You have noticed
the cold, clammy feeling of the skin Of
the frog when you have handled him.
says the Cincinnati Commercial Trib-
une. The soaking of water is the cause.
If you put redhot iron on a frogs
flesh he will not feel it. simply because
of the cold water in his skin, which the
heat turns into vapor. escaping under
the iron, but il hot water be dropped
upon him he will instantly jump from
pain, as 1t Immediately strikes into the
skin.
This moisture is a safeguard against
drying up, and there is still another
which is an interior sack for storing
water. Like the camel, it thus keeps a
supply which carries the amphibian
over many dry place when it would
otherwise lose all its moisture and die.

exact direction in which the vessel ID
going. In the diagram shown herewith
the high key is represented by a YER
teal dash and the low key by hori-
zontal dash, the diagram being read in
the direction of the arrows.
IF the ship is going north it gives a
low, a high, and low whistle; If 1t is
going west-northwest it gives three
high whistles and one low or deep whis-
tie. 1t is seen at a glance that all the
signals from north to south by way OF
the east begin with a deep or coarse
whistle, and all those from the north to
the south by way of the west begin with
a high or keen whistle. This arrange
ment permits one to tell the principal
direction of the vessel by the first sound
that strikes the ear.
The instrument proper consists of q
box containing cogged drum which.
somewhat after the manner of the keys
in a wind instrument, determines
whether the sound be high or low. A
retarder, controlled by a crank, causes
the rotation of the drum, SO that two
sounds cannot be blended or confused.
The crank turns once every second.
In sailing vessels the signals are

right sizes and kinds. At first the
vane was used. but as this would not
hold the wheel in the wind when it
was pulling hard. the gear was at
tached in such a manner that now the
