and they are delighted to know that
to sketch a landscape or draw flower
is not such a difficult thing after all.
Much attention is given to school
management. Forty-fve minutes each
day is taken for the discussion of
problems of school administration
particularly those encountered in the
common schools. This work is
largely done by the students of the
summer school, the aim being to bring
into these discussions the experience
of teachers in meeting these problems.
The following have led the discus
sions: 1.-The Recitation, Purpose and
Assignment of Lessons," Blanche
Byers: "Attention-How secured and
how retained," Lavina Barber, Alice
Hailler; "Discipline-What is good
discipline, Minnie Sellhorn: "Means
and Ends of Discipline, "Edna Oliver;
"School Organization on-Engaging a
school, commencing school, basis
of classification, seating of pupils,
program" Elsie Jaques, Ruby Win
sor, Frances Lenertz.
After subject has been presented
by the leaders it is thrown open for
discussion and this often brings out
some interesting experiences.
During the discussion on discipline
the question of corporal punishment
was brought up. The teachers were
about evenly divided on the question
as to whether corporal punishment
should ever be resorted to. The con-
sensus of opinion was. that while it
should never: be used except as last
resort, yet there are cases where it
cannot be avoided.
All are anticipating the meeting of
teachers and school directors on Aug.
l. 1t is hoped that many of the citi-
zens of Princeton will be present at
this meeting. The discussions will be
of general interest.

What They Preach.

The teachings and purpose of the
Christian church, whose state evan
gelist is preaching every night in
Farnham's hall, this city, is but little
known in this community. It's mes
sage to the world is the simple gospel
of complete salvation through faith
in a risen Christ and entire obedience
to Him. Its plea to the churches of
christendom is for the reunion of all
the people of God on the basis of the
bible alone. It believes this to be
logically and necessarily the next
great step in the conquest of the world
for Christ. Logical, because every
other, field of great activity-govern-
mental, educational, commercial has
already shown the tremendous advant-
age of unity. Necessary, because the
church, as we see it, is not conquering

LANGNIO CAPTURED.

Swindler Who Passed Forged Checks in
Princeton and Milaca Jailed.
G. h. Langmo was arraigned before
Justice Norton on Tuesday morn
ing charged with forgery in the
second degree. The defendant pleaded
guilty and was committed to iail to
await the next term of the district
court.
The crime for which he was arrested
consists of the forging of the name of
Herman Miller to a thirteen dollar
check, drawn upon the First National
Bank Of Princeton, and the passing
Of the same on Saturday, June l6,
upon Chas. Carlson, barkeeper in
Hurd's saloon. Langmo passed a
similar check for a like amount upon
another Princeton business concern
upon the same day. About a week
elapsed before the checks were pre-
sented at the bank and discovered to
be forgeries, and in the meantime the
swindler had disappeared. Sheriff
Shockley, however, ascertained that
from Princeton Langmo had gone to
Minneapolis, and that at that place
he had bought a ticket for Fargo, N.
D., where trace of him was lost. The
police of the northwest were given a
description of Langmo, but he evaded
arrest until last Sunday, when Sheriff
Shockley, acting upon information re-
ceived from a friend in Grand Forks,
appeared in that city and nabbed Mr..
Langmo. The sheriff, having no
requisition papers with him, was CON-
PEELED to resort to strategy in order to
arrest Langmo. The way he did it
was this: He entered into conversa-
tion with Langmo, who knew him, and
the two walked leisurely across the
river bridge on the other side of
which is Minnesota. Directly they
had reached Minnesota territory the
sheriff read the warrant to Langmo
and nabbed him.
The sheriff has received two war
rants from Milaca for Langmo's ar
rest charging him with similar Of
lenses to that for which he is being
held, and it is said that a warrant
has also been issued in Wisconsin for
his capture. He passed also, we are
told, fraudulent check in Arling-
ton, N. D.
The capture of Langmo is an i'm
portant one and Sheriff Shockley is
entitled to much commendation for
running the fellow down. It was a
fine piece of detective work.

Summer School Notes.

The summer school has been taking
advantage of the cool weather and the
results are most gratifying to the in
structors and to the county superin-
tendent.
Miss Mary Browne, who has been
attending the St. Cloud normal, is the
latest recruit Of the summer school.
Remarkable progress has been
made by the pupils in the free-hand
drawing class. There is nothing
which can be used to better advantage
in teaching than ability to illustrate a
lesson on the blackboard in broad,
explicit way. The students in this
class are particularly enthusiastic

the hosts of evil. The Christian
church therefore accepts no creed,
it's own nor others, except the book.
It exalts Christ as the son of God and
savior of the world, the Zone media
tor" and only rightful head of the
church. It endeavors to speak where
the Scriptures speak and be silent
where they are silent, believing that
whatever creed or doctrine contains
less than the teaching of the book
contains not enough; that whatever
contains more than the book contains
too much, and that what contains
neither more nor less is unnecessary,
since we have the book. Its test of
Fellowship is not human creed but
the supreme test of faith in Christ and
obedience to him. 1t rejects the au-
thority of all creeds, dogmas, councils
and ecclesiastics. Its form of govern
ment is completely democratic, con-
forming to the model of the early
church. 1t teaches faith, repentance
and baptism as the conditions of en-
trance into the kingdom, thus an
swering from the scriptures the ques-
tion, "What must I do to be saved?"
1t teaches that the evidence Of pardon
is simply Gods promise that He will
pardon when we have done these
things.
1t practices baptism by immersion
because the scriptures teach it and all
Christians acknowledge it as baptism.
It repudiates sprinkling and the
effusion of infants because these prac-
tices fail in both of the above partic-
ulars. It is trying to build up and
not tear down, to emphasize great
central truths which in the scriptures
are made conditional to salvation, to
free the word of God from all human
interpretations and membranes, to
exalt Christ to complete headship and
authority in all things of the church
it's doctrines, it's ordinances and it's
fruits-and so to unite all believers in
Him. Toward this beneicent end it
pledges it's earnest and most brotherly
endeavors and appeals to all men,
but especially to the people of God,
for their coveted and most helpful CO.

Attractive Program Arranged for Last
Day of Summer School.
The summer training school will
close its four weeks term next We'd
nesday in a joint session with the
various school boards of the county.
The program has been somewhat
changed for the purpose of giving all
teachers an opportunity to inspect the
model work, which is feature in it.
self Of sufficient Importance to remun-
crate them for attending the session.
Miss Sands is surely at home among
the little ones.
Superintendent A. N. Farmer is
the right man in the right place when
it comes to the preparation of those
who expect to teach in the rural
schools. There are no dull periods
with him from opening to close.
Always on the alert, ready, active,
energetic. The teachers gather in
spiration from his influences and
achieve most beneficial results in a
very limited time. Miss Maria Lynch
must not be overlooked in the dis
tribution of well-merited compliments.
Always at her post, kind and oblig-
ing: Her large classes in history,
geography. physiology and civics
are getting along with evident salts
faction. Miss Lynch, in connection
with Miss Sands, handles the work of
drawing. This branch has proven a
marked success, and it is surprising
to many to know that so much has
been accomplished in perspective and
water color drawing.
School management has received
careful attention under the supervision
of Mr.. Farmer, and teachers who go
forth to work in the country this fall
will do so prepared to improve the
schools over which they preside. We
print the program for the last day
of the school term. Every teacher
should attend upon that day.

CREAMERY PICNIC.
Six Hundred People Gather In Uglem's
Grove and Make Merry.

Six Hundred People Gather In Uglem's
Grove and Make Merry.
The annual picnic of the West
Branch creamery held in o. II. Ug-
lens grove on Sunday was attend
ed by at least 800 people, a large
number of whom were patrons Of this
modern buttermaking ablishment:
George D. Lindall, to whom is largely
due the success of the West Branch
creamery, and the directors of the in
stitution, had prepared an elaborate
program for this occasion which COM
prised a game of baseball, speeches
upon various subjects. excellent music
and a dinner consisting of all the
good things possible of conception.
At about 10 o'clock people began to
arrive from the surrounding country,
the largest number being from
Princeton aud Milaca. Foley, Ron
neby, Glendorado, Santiago and Car
mody were also we'll represented.
Dinner, prepared by the good
ladies of Greenbush, was partaken of
at noon, and Immediately thereafter
the Milaca Military band, splendid
organization of artists, discoursed
selections in manner which reminded
us of the days when we listened to the
productions of the band conducted by
the great and gifted Gilmore.
Frank Shrewsbury, one of the best
authorities on creameries in the state
of Minnesota, addressed the assembled
multitude upon matters pertaining to
dairying and took occasion to laud
Mr.. Lindall for the splendid brand of
butter which he is manufacturing and
for the scrupuulous cleanliness which
prevails in the West Branch creamery.
Hon. Chas. A. Dickey, candidate
for representative from this district,
spoke in very logical manner upon
the subject of good roads-a subject
which is of vast Importance to the
people of the northwest.
A game of ball between the Milacas
and Santiagos was played in the af-
ternoon and the contest demonstrated
that both teams were possessed of
more than ordinary skill. The score
at the close of the ninth inning was
6 to in favor of Milaca.
It can in truth be said that to the
West Branch creamery is due to
considerable extent the prosperity ex-
isting among the farmers of the coun-
try surrounding it. The establish
ment of this cooperative creamery
has been an incentive to the farmers
to acquire more and better grades of
milk COWS. 1t has demonstrated to
them that there is money in dairying,
and especially so when they are part
owners OF the creamery which handles
their milk and they therefore share
equally in the profits with other stock
holders. Then again, the West
Branch creamery, under the superin-
tendence OF Mr.. Lindall, is turning
out the highest grade of butter
grade which has large demand in
the New York market and fetches the
top notch prices.
There is no better conducted cream
cry in Minnesota than the one at Long
Siding.

At the conclusion of the reading of
this poem the Rev. J. M. Hubert, who
was pastor of the Congregational
church from Jan. Is, 1898, to July,
1894, delivered very forceful and
eloquent address, taking for his theme,

Eloquent Sermons by Distinguished

by r1embers of Church.

Ihe exercises in celebration of the
golden jubilee-or fftieth anniversary
OF the establishment of the Congre-
gatlonal church in Princeton were be-
gun in that edifice on Friday evening
last, July 20.
Rev. j. r.. Henderson, pastor of the
church, delivered the address of well
come and likened the church's union
with Christ to the marriage tie which
exists between man and wife. The
reverend gentleman's address was
brimful of pathos and words of wis
dom.
A greeting from the M. E. church
was conveyed to the audience by Rev.
E. M. .Cathcart, it's pastor. His greet
ing expressed the existence of feel
ing of brotherly love and true SYM
pathy between the two religious de-
nominations. ....
A historical statement was then read
by Rev. Henderson in which the fact
was brought out that the Princeton
Congregational church was the sixth,
in numerical order, of that denomin-
alton to be organized in the territory
OF Minnesota, and the first church of
any denomination to be- established
in the territory extending northeast of
Anoka to the Canadian line. The
Congregational church was estab-
lished at Princeton three months SUBJ
sequent to the founding of the town.
