THROWN FROM BUGGY
Clare Neumann Sustains Fractured
Leg and His Father and Sister
Are Slightly Injured.
Horse SHES at Bright Light From New
Lantern and Vehicle Coilides
With Telephone Pole.

On Friday night at about $50
O'Clock as Herman Neumann, his son
Glare and daughter Maggie were pro-
ceeding to their home in a buggy the
horse attached to the vehicle SHE'D and
threw the three occupants to the
ground. Mr.. Neumann and daughter
escaped with but slight bruises, but
Clare was less fortunate, and sus-
tanned a fracture of the bone of the
left leg below the knee. He was taken
to the Northwestern hospital, where
the fracture was reduced by DR..
Cooney, and on Sunday the patient
had sufficiently recovered to permit of
his being removed to his home.
A new lantern with strong re-
fector, which Mr.. Neumann had upon
this occasion used for the first time,
was responsible for the accident. This
lantern was standing on the right side
OF Mr.. Neumann, who was driving,
and the horse, which had on no blind,
ers. in turning the Harley Whitney
corner, saw the intensely bright light
and became frightened thereat. The
animal jumped to one side and the
striking of a wheel of the vehicle
against a telephone pole caused a
conclusion which precipitated the oc-
cupants into the road. At the same
time the harness gave way and the
horse broke loose. Abe Sleeves and
Fred Smith, who were passing at the
time, stopped the horse. No injury
to the buggy resulted.
1.-The horse is gentle," says Mr..
Neumann, "and now that it has be-
come accustomed to the bulls eye it
pays little or no attention to it's fierce
rays"

Why Scotsmen Wear Kills.


A. j. Drexel brings from his Scot
fish estate story of Highlander.
"There was a well-knOwn American
writer,' he said at a. dinner, sswho
automobiled through Scotland, and
at a hotel in the Highlands was treated
with the greatest incivility.
Accordingly he complained to the
manager.
> " And I complain in particular, be
said, about my waiter in the dining
room. The inattention and insolence
OF this man are insupportable.
"The manager sought out the waiter,
d raw-boned, red-haired highlander.
8 'Dugald, he said, the American
visitor accuses you of inattention and
insolence. What have you to say?'
''Dugald snorted and holly replied:
$ It's no. to be expeckit that self
respectful Scot could wait on him VII
civeelity. Wasna it he that said we
took to the kilt because our feet were
too large to get through trousers?' -

THE POTATO MARKET
Steady Movement to Warehouses Has
Prevailed and Shipments Ag=
gregated Thirty Cars.
Advance in Prices Expected After Com
gestion in Chicago and Other
Large Markets Ceases.

At this time the local market is
weaker but buyers at this point are
paying virtually the same prices as
they we're week ago. Several of the
principal potato shippers say that
they expect lower rather than a
higher market, but anticipate an adj
vance as soon as the glut in the
Chicago and other large markets
ceases. The congestion in these
markets is caused largely by the heavy
shipments being now thrown into them
from Michigan, Wisconsin and other
states which have suffered more or
less from frosts, dealers in those
states being anxious to unload as
rapidly as possible in order to avoid
total loss on the ''nipped" stock=in
hand. ~ =
A shortage of cars. generally pre-
walls, and at Princeton this is no ex-
ception, although something like thirty
cars of potatoes have been dispatched
from here this week. James J. Hill,
however, denies that there is short
age of cars. He says that "the Short
age is in tracks and terminals to pro-
vide greater opportunity for the
movement of cars.' But to- the ship
Pers this amounts to practically the
same thing. ..... ~
Receipts at the warehouses here
have not been heavy this week, but
the movement has been steady.
There are thousands of bushels of
potatoes still unmarketed, and it is
likely that large quantity will be
held for sometime to come, as the
prices now prevailing do not offer a
sufficient inducement to growers who
are not in need of ready money to
dispose of their holdings.

The best explanation of his defeat
may be read in the extraordinary
Interview in which he 1aments the sor-
row brought upon the city at home
and the shame to which it is exposed
abroad by loss of him as mayor. No
citizen is good or great enough to be
talked about, still less to talk about
himself in this tone. 1t is an echo of
prating and posing that has presented
singularly unattractive aspect. of
public and private virtue to the people
OF Minneapolis for the last sixty days.
No city is so dependent upon one
citizen as to be saved by his election
or damned by his defeat. No CON-
munity likes to be considered so feeble
that it's ruin or security hangs on the
result OF an election. Votes we're
driven away from Jones here by the
extravaganza of eulogy, as they we're
driven to Hearst in New York by the
extravaganza of denunciation.
That Auditorium meeting was the
climax of campaign of twaddIe and
drivel that has affected the town as a.
storm off Hatteras affects ship load
OF landsmen. It grew tired of hearing
OF nothing but the transcendent quail
ties OF Jones, either from himself or
from evangeists of virtue and mo-
rality like W. L. Harris. It has de-
cided to make the experiment of doing
without supernatural aid for two
years.
The city must exist without Jones
some time. He is not yet immortal.
1t is going to get used to it. He is
like the employee, afflicted with de-
fusion of his indispensability, who
was asked to consider himself dead

HUNTERS HEARD FROM.
Buck Fever Gets Fred Keith While In
dams and Bear Get Deer.

Buck Fever Gets Fred Keith While In
dams and Bear Get Deer.
Intelligence received from Camp
Bulls, in the wilds north of Duluth,
says that the boys are meeting with
some success in big game hunting and
that their experiences have so far be 5.
both varied and thrilling.
Upon the first morning out, says our
informant, Fred Keith was stalking
through the tall timber when he OBJ
served in clearing a short distance
away bunch of seven deer. The IN
expected sight Immediately brought
on an attack of buck fever and, in
stead of discharging his rife, Fred
threw it into the air and yelled at the
top of his voice. ~"This way, fellers;
this way! Here's hundred of em!''
The deer of course heard first and
skidooed.
Later in the day, just as the sun
was going down, Bill Cordiner and
Magnus Sjoblom were vending their
way toward camp dragging one poor
little fawn behind them when fearful
screech from the treetops almost took
their breath away. Within a second
or two afterward a huge wildcat, said
by them to be nine feet long, dropped
on the carcass of the fawn and Bill
and Magnus waited no longer. A
two-mile run and they were in camp,
minus rifles, telling the story to the
other boys between copious applica-
tions of tonics from the medicine chest.
The total number of deer hanging
on tree near camp was at that time
three, shot by Andrew Bulls and
Charley Murray. The following morn
ing the total number was none-In-
dians having stolen two and bruin
one. Or at least this was the conclu-
sion arrived at by Ben Soule-and
Ben knows whereof he speaks.
At the time of receiving this infor-
nation Pete Johnson and Andrew UNI
behocker could not be found. They
had not returned to camp the night
previous and it was feared that they
were either lost in the woods or had
been kidnapped by savages.
Since writing the above story Fred
Keith has returned home and vouches
for the truth of the same.

A Faulty LAW,


Congress, at its next session. will be
called on to amend the free alcohol
act in so many of its provisions that
practically a new bill will have to be
enacted to meet the expectations of
the farmers and others who thought
to profit by the manufacture Of dena-
turized alcohol. --..-.....
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Yerkes has just ruled that alcohol
must be denaturized at the distillery
where it is produced and then drawn
off and shipped in packages especially
provided for that purpose. He also
holds that retailers can purchase di-
rect from distillers in packages rang
ing from five gallons to 135 gallons.
These packages cannot be broken by
distillers and wholesalers, but re-
tailers can sell less than five gallons
in jugs, demijohns or bottles. .
Mr.. Yerkes, in his ruling, states
that there is no authority to permit
shipment in tank cars. He says that
it is done abroad and he thinks that
congress should permit it in this
county.
The most important amendments
necessary will be to permit the estab-
lishment of distilleries for manufac-
turing alcohol without subjecting
them to exactions which are placed
upon regular distilleries, the products
of which go into bonded storehouses.

Maccabee Ladies Celebrate Anniversary.
On Tuesday evening the Lady Mac
cabees celebrated the twelfth ami
versary of the installation of their
lodge in Princeton. The Sir knights
were in attendance and a program
was carried out which entities the
ladies to much credit. Of the features
presented the fancy drill of twelve
ladies in uniform was by far the most
attractive. The evolutions were per-
formed to march music rendered by
Miss Palmer on the piano. In the
guessing contest, which comprised
part of the program, Miss Maud More
house won the first prize, silver nap
kin ring, while Mrs. Jaax carried off
the BOBBY award. A splendid supper
was provided. The Lady Maccabees
certainly know how to entertain.

A Crying Necessity.

There is no use of talking, the main
streets of the village must be bettered.
Some means must be devised for the
improvement of the leading thorough
fares The roads radiating from
Princeton are none too good but they
are not a circumstance compared with
Main and First street in wet weather.
Farmers tell us that they manage to
get along on the poor county roads
but the streets of Princeton stall their
teams. Princeton is the center of a.
good farming country and it is the
natural market town for farmers with
in radius of ten or fifteen miles. The
farmers are the mainstay Of Prince
toms business interests. The least the
business men of our village can do is
to provide passable thoroughfares for
the farmers within the village limits
and on the outskirts of the village.
Let us get together and talk over the
matter of street and road improve
ment. It is a matter that vitality con-
Germs US all. Unless something is
done farmers will be obliged to seek
other places at which to market their
produce and do their trading. The
o n would suggest that the tax
payers of the village meet with the
members of the village council and see
if ways and means cannot be devised
to better our main streets and the ap-
proaches to our village. ~

JAS. j. HILL ON THE TARIFF,
Says Free Trade Should Exist Between
America and Canada.

Says Free Trade Should Exist Between
America and Canada.
James J. Hill, president of the Great
Northern railway, in an address be-
fore the Merchants club of Chicago,
advocated absolutely free trade with
Canada, and discussed the present
railroad situation. He said in part:
''Today the entire country is suffer-
ing from want of transportation facil-
tiles to move it's business without I'M
reasonable delay. The prevailing
idea with the public is that the rail-
ways are short of cars, while the facts
are that the shortage is in tracks and
terminals to provide a greater oppor-
tunity for the movement of the cars. !"
The speaker declared that the coun-
try today faced transportation prob
lem which only time, patience and
the expenditure Of enormous sums Of
money will remedy. He asserted that
there is a crying need now for the
construction Of a ffteen-foot canal
between st. Louis and New Orleans,
and he said that the necessity for this
would increase with time. There was
no more important general work for
the government to perform, he said,
than to construct canal capable Of
carrying vessels to ten-feet draught.
Mr.. Hill recited figures showing that
the trade with the people whom the
United States will be able to reach by
the construction Of the Panama canal
amounts to only about S54, 500, 900 an
nually, while our trade with Canada
is over 5000, 100000 per annum. He
asserted that the conservation and in
crease of this trade is of greater i'm
portance than anything that will &C
crue to the United States because of
the construction of the canal.
Concerning reciprocity with Canada
Mr.. Hill said:
"The plea for more liberal trade re-
lations is negatived only by unreason-
ing individual selfshness. The con-
elusive argument for reciprocity with
Canada always has been, and must be,
the experience of the several Ameri-
can states.
Had it not been prohibited by the
constitution each state of the Union
would have levied duty on all COM
MERGE crossing it's boundaries. Yet
all acknowledged now that one great
factor in the development of the United
States has been the commercial elimi-
nation of state lines. Unrestricted
trade between the states has favored
all of them. s.
whatever commercial policy con-
fers the greatest benefits on the whole
continent will best advance the vari-
Gus parts, and this city would receive
and confer inestlmable benefits under
a more liberal trade convention.
Canada will in any event, and under
any system, be opened up and highly
developed. Would it then be disad-
vantageous for us to share in the prod
ucts of the fields of Manitoba, AL
berta and Saskatchewan?

both countries are the first to raise an
