Bridge Will Be Strenstnened.

The wagon bridge across Rum river
southwest of town has long been con-
sidered in an unsafe condition for
travel, and notice of condemnation
has been posted for two years past.
The present council has taken up
the question of whether to build new
bridge Or repair the old one, and
finally decided in favor of the latter
course. A contract has been let to
the Hewitt Bridge company of Mime
apolis for renovating the old bridge.
The improvements will include new
upper timbers, new piling and caps.
The cost of the changes will be S487,
and the work is to be completed by the
latter part of May.-Milaca Times.

The committee on streets and side
walks reported that the work of re-
planking the East branch bridge was
now progressing satisfactorily, but
that delay had been occasioned by
shortage of spikes.
In the matter of the Watermelon

the council at the special meeting OF
April 20, it was suggested that the

pilgrims said:

AT THE NORTHWESTERN HOSPITAL,

Miss Gertrude Neumann, daughter
OF DR.. G. S. Neumann, was subjected
to an operation for appendicitis by
DIR. Cooney on Sunday morning.
The young lady was taken violently
i'll late on Saturday night, and within
a few hours it became apparent that
prompt surgical Intervention could
alone save her life. She will recover.
Miss Della Robson of Foreston
was operated upon by DR.. Cooney on
Saturday morning. The operation
was performed for the purpose of re-
moving an abdominal tumor which
for several years had invalided her.
The operation was entirely successful,
and from present indications the
patient will make rapid and complete
recovery.
August Gerth sustained a fracture
OF leg in an accident few days ago

Horse Auction Attracts Big Crowd From
r. the Surrounding Country.
K Marks auction on Saturday was
more'largely attended than any event
of similar nature held here for a long
time: People poured into town from
every direction throughout the greater
part of the day, the streets were lined
with teams, and the throng around the
place of sale was so dense that it was
at times impossible to get within con-
siderable distance of the auctioneer's
stand. Mr.. Mark was assisted at the
sale by the famous auctioneer. Hol-
land, who is an artist unexcelled in
his profession. The horses offered
were snapped up very rapidly, and
there was much spirited bidding upon
the very highest grades, some of these
animals fetching over $500 per pair.
The merchants of Princeton also
did a lively business upon that day.
and the credit for a large amount of
this business is of course due Mr..
Mark, whose auction attracted the
crowd.
Mr.. Mark is now in Miles City,
Montana, and when he returns will be
accompanied by several cars of the
finest horses to be obtained. These
will be offered for sale in Princeton
upon date to be later made known.

Curiosity Rewarded,

Several years ago farmer rode to
Buffalo to buy from wholesale firm
bill of goods for his country store.
After coming downstairs and while
waiting for his goods to be packed he
noticed several men using the speak
ing tube. After awhile his curiosity
got the better of him and he asked
the proprietor what that thing was.
"A speaking tube" said the proprie-
tor. -"Speak to someone upstairs and
see how it works." ''What will 7
say?" said the farmer, going over to
the tube. "Ah, say anything you
like" said the proprietor. "Hay!"
shouted the farmer. Are the goods
Mr.. Parsons of Williamsville ordered
ready?' Eyes," said the man up
stairs, "the goods are ready, but we
are looking the old skinfint up. We
think he is kind of shaky.''

INDEPENDENT DIST.
District No. Votes to Change From
Common to An Independ-
ent School District.
Little Interest Manifested in the
Special Election Only Eighty
six Votes Cast.

At the special school election held
in Armory hall on Tuesday only Sc
votes were cast-77 in favor of chang
ing to an independent school district,
and nine against. The polls opened
at a. m. and remained open until
3 p. m. c. A. Dickey, A. z. Norton
and Tom Scheen acted as judges of
election. It is passing strange that so
little interest was manifested. There
are probably 1900 voters, male and
female, in the district, and less than
100 exercised the right of suffrage.
Had the election been called for the
choosing of a village constable prob
ably 500 votes would have been polled.
Several wise individuals voted in
the negative because they imagined
there was some diabolical scheme be-
ing concocted by those who favored an
independent district. It was plain
business propositions; no change of
boundaries was involved: the district
will remain as it is as far as territory
is concerned. Those who advocated
the change from common to an in
dependent district had no Interior
motives in view; they favored the
change because they believed it was
for the best interest of the schools of
the district.
Several sections in the town of
Bogus Brook are attached to school
district No. l, and we understand
there are fifteen children there between
the ages of six and eleven years who
have never been inside a school room.
Such a state of affairs should not be
permitted to exist. The parents of
those children pay taxes and help to
support our schools, and it is out
rageous that the children should be
deprived of an education. School
facilities must be provided for those
children.
The next step is a meeting to elect
officers for the independent district.
1t is made the duty of the clerksof the
election last Tuesday to give notice of
the result of the election forthwith to
the county auditor, and within twenty
days to call meeting to elect officers,
upon ten days. posted notice. At the
meeting six directors must be elected
two to hold until Aug. 1st, 1907, two
to hold until Aug. 1st, 1908, and two
to hold until Aug. LIST, 1909. After
the first meeting all directors will be
elected for the term of three years.
The directors will have power to
levy all taxes for support of the
schools, and great care should be
exercised in their selection.

A Farewell Party.

A farewell party was given by the
lady Maccabees and Sir knights at
their hall on Tuesday evening to Mrs.
N. N. Agren, who, under the advice
of her physician, will leave for
Spokane, WASH, on Saturday. Card
games were played, supper of deli
cacies provided and Mrs. Agren was
presented with purse of money. A
dance was also included in the pro-
gram, 81. Anderson and Mrs. Ben
Soule furnishing the music. Mrs.
Agren's many friends, while regret
ting her departure from Princeton,
hope that the change of climate may
prove beneficial to her health.

FIRE AT ZIMMERMAN
Harry English Loses Big Store and
Stock of Merchandise Aggre-
eating in Value $4,000.
Store of j. w. Mode & Co. Also De.
str0yed, But Stock of Goods
In Building is Saved.

a fire which originated in the gen.
eral merchandise store of Harry En-
gllsh & Co. at Zimmerman at 3 O 'clock
on Friday morning, May 4, destroyed
theEentire building and it's contents.
Tie postohice was located in this
store and the records and mail therein
were totally consumed.
The store of J. W. Mode & Co. was
also burned to the ground, but this
firm luckily succeeded in rescuing the
greater portion of their stock from
the flames.
When the fire was discovered. it had
already gained considerable Roadway,
and by the time the citizens had ar
rived to render assistance it was found
impossible to save even remnant OF
the big store. The. improvised bucket
brigade, however, fought the fire with
a determination, and to it's unceasing
efforts are due the escape of the many
buildings located in close proximity
1.-THE burned stores. The Thomas
cottage and the Woodman hall, both
located within a few feet of the de-
stroyed property, would have met a
like fate had it not been for the bucket
brigade.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
The store of Harry English & Co.,
with it's contents, was valued at
$4,000, and carried an insurance of
$4,000, while the store of J. w. Mode
g. Co. was valued at $500 and carried
an insurance of $500.
Harry English is one of the most
progressive men in this part of the
northwest, and has built up his bust
ness by close application and hard
work. While he sustained heavy
loss by the fire, he will not permit that
to Interfere with his ambition, but will
proceed with as great rapidity as pos
sibleto rebuild the consumed premises
and resume business upon even a
argerl scale than heretofore.

BURGLARS AT WORK
Robbers Enter EVens Hardware Com
pany's Store and Carry Off
Goods Valued at $IOO.
Thieves Captured by Duluth Police
and Brought Here by Sheriff
Shockley This forming.

Either on Saturday or Sunday
night-it is not known which-burglars
entered the Evens Hardware COM
pany's store and appropriated about
one hundred dollars worth of
goods.
An examination of the premises
shows that the depredators entered by
one of the cellar windows located on
the south side of the building. By
smashing pane of glass they we're
enabled to reach inside and draw the
bolts with which the window was
fastened. There are windows in
other parts of the cellar open at all
times through which are passed pota-
toes when unloaded from wagons.
Through these openings the burglars
could have gained easy entrance, but
they had seemingly made careful in
spection of the premises and discov-
cred that barred iron doors would
have prevented them from reaching
Guo StOie ny GueS0 routes.
Upon gaining entrance to the cellar
through the south window described
the robbers assembled the stairs and
found access to the main part of the
store easy. A square window light
was all that stood between them and
their plumber. This light they re-
moved, with the aid of a file, and evi.
IDENTIFY took their time at the job, for
they stacked up the broken pieces of
glass upon a shelf near at hand.
Climbing through this aperture and
approaching the front of the store
they opened two show cases and Sc
lected the most valuable of the goods
displayed therein, consisting of six
or seven revolvers, leather revol-
yer case, about three dozen imported
pocket knives, several expensive
razors, watches and other articles.
The revolvers were removed from
the cardboard boxes in which they
came from the factory, the thieves
leaving these boxes behind.
The sheriff received a Geographic
message yesterday afternoon from the
Duluth police that two men had been
arrested there while trying to dispose
OF a number of revolvers, razors, etc.,
in a second hand store. The sheriff,
who was at the time in Milaca, took
the evening train for Duluth and re-
turned to Princeton this morning with
two men giving their names as John
Ripley and Nick Brass. They are
now locked up in jail here and the
stolen property is stored away in
Judge Chadbourne's safe.
Sheriff Shockley had telegraphed
the authorities of the twin cities and
the surrounding country and. for
warded a description of the goods
stolen.

PRINCETON SUMMER SCHOOL.
Course Will Embrace a Much Wider Ran,

Course Will Embrace a Much Wider Range
of Studies than Heretofore.
Two months from now the summer
training school will open here and the
work this year will embrace a wider
range than last seasons course.
Supt. A. N. Tanner. in conjunction
with the county superintendent, is ar
ranging the course of studies to be
taken up. Circular letters containing
a program of the work will soon be
published and mailed to every teacher
within a reasonable distance of Prince
ton.
The department of public instruc-
ton desires the school to exceed the
enrolment of last year and every
thing possible will be done that is
deemed of interest to those who at
tend. Boarding accommodations are
even better than last year and at
about the same rates. Those who
have no stopping places in view can
obtain assistance in this line by writ
ing to the county superintendent or
calling at his Office at any time when
in town.
Some have written to ascertain the
expense of attending for the four
weeks. There is no tuition to paw.
and outside of board the expense for
necessary books and stationery will
amount probably to S1.25-not more.
Two: at least, and probably three,
good men or women will be engaged
on the lecture course during the term.
Many teachers know that the ardent
work of such a summer school faculty.
as that which will be with us this
season is one of the most valuable
aids in Frightening up our old ideas
and of adding many new ones. It
brings the means of keeping up to
date right home to us at very small
cost. 1t prepares the way to obtain a
state certificate for those who are
working under county permits. These
permits, as every teacher knows, can
not be granted to the same person
more than twice. There are only SIX
teachers on the Mile Laos county
force who worked last.term under per-
mits. Let every one of these attend
summer school this year and prepare
themselves to- obtain state certificates.
Pupils of the Seventh and Eighth
grade model school will be on hand
and new, department in training
methods will be introduced Ew-

being utilized as slaughter houses
that beeves and hogs are being killed
there in direct violation of both the

AS the public health is thereby i'm

lage authorities to give notice to the
violators of the ordinance that further
infringement of the law will lead to
prosecution.
