Judge SearIe's Condition.

Judge D. 5. Searle. who was
stricken with apoplexy at Long
Prairie several weeks ago, is still in
very precarious condition. judge
Baxter, his associate on the bench,
has concluded, from reports relative
to his condition., that he will not
again be able to occupy the bench,
and states that he will make arrange
ments to secure another Judge to take
his place this fall. AS nearly as can
be learned, Judge Searle is conscious
only at intervals, and does not seem
to rally, although reports have been
received from time to time to the effect
that he was improving. Hope of his
complete recovery has been prac-
tically abandoned.

A TRAINING SCHOOL
For Teachers Will Open in Princeton on
Thursday Morning, July 5, at
Eight O'Clock Sharp.
Term Will Continue Four Weeks and
Pupils Should Appear on First
Day for Enrolment.

Teachers should not fail to be pres
ent for enrolment on Thursday
morning, July 5, at O'Clock.
The aim of the training school
faculty is to give to those who attend
here four weeks course which shall
equal, if not excel, in benefit six
weeks term in any of the big summer
schools. You will naturally ask how
this can be done. The answer is: By
reason of the fact that instructors in
the smaller schools have more time
at their disposal to devote to detail
werk-they have less pupils to care
for and therefore are enabled to give
to each student more thorough train
ing. It must be understood, however,
that it is necessary for every pupil
tos#give close application to study
and to pursue strictly the faculty's
instructions in order to attain this
end. Another advantage in attend
ing the Princeton school is that the
expenses are much less than in the
large cities.
Those attending training school here
or bringing certificates from other
schools are given the preference
throughout the county. And it
should be so, for those working hard
and keeping abreast of advanced
ideas are entitled to such preference.
Civics is now one of the studies
that must be taken for second-grade
certificates, and one year is allowed
to prepare for the change. You
should commence now.
For information as to board,
books, etc., write Guy Ewing, County
Superintendent, Princeton.

SuStainS Fracture OF Arm.

On Monday evening Ben. the five
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Berja-
min Soule, was precipitated from the
top of wood pile near the Home
Drug store and sustained a fracture of
the left arm just below the elbow.
The little fellow, in company. with
another boy, had climbed upon the
wood pile in an attempt to capture a
young sparrow which was there hop
ping about, when a number of the big
sticks slipped to the ground and car
ried Ben with them. DR.. Cooney re-
duced the fracture.
Ben is particularly unfortunate in
sustaining broken bones. It was but
a few months ago that he fractured
the same arm in almost the same place
and at another time he broke a leg
bone. :

The GOlImar Circus.

Gollmar Bros. Circus showed to a
big audience in the city yesterday at.
ternoon and evening. It was the best
attraction that ever came to Norfolk.
Clean in it's performance, free from
fakirs, gamblers and short change
men. Gollmar Bros. are building up
a reputation for cleanliness, not only
in the freedom of the show from the
tough element, but in the genuine
merit of the performance which is high
class in every respect. The street
parade was exceptionally fine. The
menagerie contained a fine collection
of rare wild beasts, the Vlack Vark
and the hippopotamus being the fea-
lures. "The only objection that could
be raised" says one witness of it,
sis that there is too much to see and
hear at the big show" The Daily

persons were employed by telephone
companies, earning more than twice
as much money as telegraph employees.
There were over 100000, 900 calls in
1902, of which nearly 121. OO0,O00 were
long distance. Ohio led in the num-
Der of messages, although there were
more long distance messages over
Pennsylvania telephones than in any
other state. San Francisco, with a
telephone for each nine persons, was
the best equipped city.
The report speaks of the effect of
the telephone in reducing Or checking
the amount of telegraph business. It
saves the rates of the two systems, for
medium distances do not differ
greatly, and for very long distance
they are overwhelmingly in favor of
the telegraph, if the message be taken
as a unit. But, if the number of
words exchanged be taken into &C
count, as we'll as the time required for
getting into communication, the tele-
graph is at disadvantage.

What He Looked Like.

Frederick Starr, the anthropologist

authority, with a pigmy anecdote.

Growth of Telephone Business.

At the beginning of 1905, according
to a census bulletin just issued,
1000, 900 more telephones were in use
in the United States than were in use
two years before. The increase in the
two years was fifty per cent, and at
the beginning of 1905 there were
3.05O,OOO telephones in use. That is
100000 more telephones than were in
use at the same date in all the coun-
tries of Europe put together.

telephones in use as the United States
has. The United States has one tele-

day was an ideal one and the grounds

FORCES TWO CHECKS
Individual Giving Name of Langmo
ViCtimizes Couple of Prince
toms Business Firms.
SWindler is Traced to Minneapolis,
Where He Purchases Ticket to
Fargo, North Dakota.

Facts have been brought to light
during the past week which 60 to show
that forger of more than ordinary
ton.
From information which we have
succeeded in ferreting out it appears
that, during the week ending June Is,
a fellow arrived in the village who
represented himself to be the agent of
the Hennings Land company, Mime
apolis. His business card bore the
name CT G. II. Langmo and gave his
Office address as 465 Temple Court.
The method pursued by Langmo-
or whatever his name is-was to make
a purchase in store or saloon and
then present check for much larger
amount than the bill, receiving the
difference in cash wherever he sue
ceeded in passing the check.
J. C. Herdliska s jewelry store
seems to have been the first establish
ment which he attempted to work.
There he purchased a six-dollar ring
and rendered in payment s36 check.
Upon Herdliska IS clerk, to whom
Langmo was a stranger, refusing to
cash the check, he paid for the ring
in cash.
On Saturday, June Is, Langmo was
more successful in his efforts to
do" the unwary. He presented in
payment for drinks at E. H. Hurd IS
saloon S13 check, which was cashed
by Charley Carlson, the barkeeper.
This check was drawn upon the First
National Bank of Princeton, was
made payable to Alfred Knutson, pur-
ported to be signed by Herm. Miller
and bore date June l6, 1906.
Upon the same day that he cashed
the s13 check at Hurd's he presented
another at the Home Drug store for a
like amount which was cashed by
Pharmacist landmark. This check
was drawn upon the same bank and
bore a like signature to the one dis
posed Of at the saloon, but was made
payable to G. II. Larson.
That these checks were forgeries
was not discovered until presented at
the bank several days afterward. At
that time the bird had flown. He left
Princeton for Elk River upon the
Sunday following his haul, Charley
Howard driving him to that point and
from whence he apparently went to
Minneapolis by rail.
On Monday last, June 25, Sheriff
Shockley and Charley Carlson went
to Minneapolis and, with the assist
ance Of tthe police force of that place,
succeeded in ascertainig that Lang
NO purchased a ticket for Fargo, N.
D., and that he had a wife and family
residing at Sisseton, S. D.
The police of the northwest have
been furnished with a description of
the culprit and his chances of escape
seem mighty slim.
Report has reached us that Langmo
has also been operating in the towns
along the Northern Pacific and has
passed a dozen Or more fraudulent
checks in those places.

NEW LICENSES GRANTED.
Two Boston Hotels Admit Unintentton~
 al Violations and Get Them.

Boston, Jan. 3.-Two Boston hotels acceded to the view of District Attor- ney John B. Moran, who had held their liquor licenses void on account of vio- lations of the screen law" and were granted new licenses by the board of police to-day, but a third, the Hotel Essex, resumed the sale of liquor after having closed it's bar for a week. Irn-
 hediately the district attorney sent his agents to the Hotel Essex to collect evil denee against the hotel, and its is un- derstood that he will present this be- fore the grand jury, not only as ageinst the Essex hostelry, but also as against the police board, on account of it's fail- ure to revoke the license on the Hotel Essex on account of violations of the Jaw by that hotel. It is likely that test case will be made by the Essex and that the matter will be carried to the supreme court of the commonwealth. The hotels which admitted possible illegality in their old licenses were Young's and the Parker house, and two licenses werwe issued to these at the rate of $2,9OO each.
