Vege tartan Dog.

The dogs fate is inextricably bound
up with mans and he at last is likely
to become a victim of mans self con-
seriousness regarding his stomach,
says the Kansas City Journal. News
comes from Chicago of a dog whose
master is vegetarian, and the man
decided after much bordering that the
civilized dog should abstain from
meat. After a few weeks of bran and
predigested foods the dog began to
hang his head and show signs of age
and decrepitude. The salvation of
this particular dog lay in the sym
pathy of a neighbor of his master who
had lived through vegetarian, nuts
and fruits, roots and herbs, no to-
bacco period, and whose heart went
out to the vegetarian dog. Of dark
nights he secretly conveyed chops and
bones to the vegetarian dog, which
thrives to his masters great delight
and to the confusion of skeptics.

Burglars at Elk River.

Late on Monday night burglars en-
tered the postoffice at Elk River and
stole therefrom 500 in cash and
stamps. The postmaster discovered,
upon going to his Office on Tuesday
morning, that everything was in con-
fusion and that the stamp drawer had
been rifed of it's contents. Two
tramps were hanging around town all
day Monday and were chased to the
city limits by the police that evening.
1t is thought that they returned and
committed the robbery.

VISITORS DEFEATED
rlontice1lo Aggregation of Giants fleet

Bunch of WhirlWinds.

Their Splendid Play.

The Princeton boys defeated the
Monticello team on the diamond of
the former last Sunday afternoon in
one OF the hottest games of the season,
the score being 5 for our boys and l
for the visiting team.
twill be no disparagement on the
former games to say that this was
the best contest witnessed on the
grounds for several years. The crowd
was large and enthusiastic. The game
was marked by excellent conduct and
clean speech. Nothing but the ex-
hibition of manly skill and athletic
maneuvering was apparent in the bat
tie for supremacy. 1t will be re-
membered that our boys had defeated
every team that met them this season
except one, where Skahen and Szy-
manski were absent, and it was to be
demonstrated that Monticello should
share the fate of the majority.
The visitors were late in arriving
upon the grounds, having to wait for
a trained pitcher whom they imported
from the city, and when they did ap-
pear in their soldier-like blue suits
there was magnificent display of
physical development-all strong,
large, muscular fellows. To beat
such bunch was no easy task, but
that was the intention of the home
boys, and we'll did they accomplish
their work by keeping this strong op-
ponent down to the limit of one tally.
BY little closer attention to the game
at the beginning they would have shut
out the big tigers of Monticello fame.
While every one of our boys played
good ball, special credit must be given
to Skahen and Szymanski. They
made an excellent battery. Although
but young boys, they put up power
full opposition, so swift and tactful
that seven opponents were struck out.
The catching by young Skahen, who
seems as nimble as a rubber ball,
was assurprise to the big fellows who
one after another, we're famed out,
while Szymanski's pitching was equal
to the work. of a professional, and
even better than that of the Mime
apolis man.
VOciferous cheers from the Prince
ton rooters no doubt helped to win the
day by imbuing our boys. with buoy
ant inspiration and renewed courage
at every turn of the game.
The score by innings was as follows:
RI
Princeton. 2 0 o Ks
Monticello .......1 0 0 @ OIL l 4
Two base hit, Manske; bases on balls, off

A dispatch to the Duluth News

AN ATROCIOUS CRIME
Minneapolis Again the Scene of a
Murder Scarcely Paralleled in
Its Revolving Details.
Wisconsin Girl is Decoyed to Room,
Struck With Heavy Hammer
and Then Set on Fire.

One of the most diabolical murders
OF modern times was committed in a
room in the National hotel, Minneap-
oils, on Tuesday afternoon. Even
in 1.-THE city of crime''-a name which
has been frequently applied to Mime
apolis, and to which it's criminal his
tory deservedly entities it-there has
been no more atrocious deed COM
mltted than that which has now been
brought to light. Minneapolis, where
scores of murderers and thugs have
within short period committed the
most heinous crimes and ESCAPED
capture, adds another to it's list of
butcheries. The story of the murder
in concise form is as follows:
On Tuesday afternoon at about 2
O'Clock a woman with her clothes
ahame and two gaping wounds in
her head was found writhing on the
floor OF a room in the National hotel.
The victim died while being removed
to the city hospital, but from a few
words uttered by her while in her de-
lirium it was discovered that her
name was Mile Ellison and her ad-
dress Ellsworth, Wis. She had regis
tered at the hotel as Mrs. 81. Johnson
of Detroit, Mich.
A man who had registered as M. J.
Wilson, Milwaukee, was seen to enter
the woman's room. an hour or SO be-
fore she was found in her death
throes. A half hour later he was OBJ
served hurrying into his room, later
emerging with two grips and leaving
the hotel by a side entrance.
The surroundings would indicate
that the woman was beaten with a
hammer, her clothes saturated with
alcohol and match applied to COM
plete the cowardly and dastardly act.
Acting upon information given by
the murdered girls family. which
tallies closely with facts gathered in
Minneapolis, the police have arrested
at Elroy, Wis, N. NJ. Riggs. rail-
road conductor, and he has been
charged by the victims brother with
the murder.
If he is the murderer, he was handed
his own description, with Instructions
to arrest himself, as his train pulled
out of Minneapolis on Tuesday even
ing. Such descriptions and orders
were given to every conductor leaving
the city that night.
According to Miss Ellison's family,
Riggs was understood by Miss Eli
son to be single man. She had said
that he had exhibited papers indicat-
ing that he had secured divorce.
Having sold out her millinery bust
ness and other property at Ellsworth,
Wis, Miss Ellison was possessed of
about 81 1000. 1t was the understand
ing of her family that she planned to
invest this money with Riggs in Wash
ington lands, and that. the two we're
to 60 there to be married.
Riggs is married man and lives
with his family at 34O5 Pillsbury ave-
nue..
Riggs committed suicide at Elroy,
Wis, this morning.

The Unions First "Deyil.'

>. Il. Pratt, better known as Vene
Pratt, writes from Libby, Mont. 81
don't want to miss Union. It is
about 80 years since Bob and ground
out the first Union on an old army
press. set the type for the story
about the Indian on the first page
while Bob was making original copy,
and he was not very particular as to
what he said or who he offended. I
shall always have warm spot in my
heart for the Union. While the old
army press was discarded many years
ago, and the great majority of those
spoken of in the columns of the
U Mon are strangers to me, I al
ways find the names of two or three in
each number of the paper that can
justly be called "old-timers''- the
actual trail-blazers. Those cold
timers" and the Union have con-
tributed much towards making Prince
ton one of the prettiest and most pros
porous towns in the northwest
1t will be 80 years next December
since Vene Pratt and the writer oper-
ated the old army press and turned
out the first copy of the Union.
Vene was our first assistant. and he
was good one, too. but it taxed the
ingenuity Of both the publisher and
the "devil'' to make the old army
press work.

THE SUMMER SCHOOL
Over Seventy Pupils Now Enrolled
and List is Being Daily Aug
mented by Arrivals.
Probable That School Board COnven-
ton Will Be Held Upon the
Closing Days of Term.

is now over seventy, exceeding at this
early date the attendance of last year.
There are some of the older teachers
yet to enroll, which will probably
bring the number close to the so mark.
The program as now arranged is a
good one, and it is the aim of the
faculty to see that it is fully and faith
fully carried out day by day.
Special arrangements have been
made with prominent citizens, whose
names will appear later, to speak be-
fore the school during the session.
Along about the Goth of this month
the state lecturer will be here to ad-
dress the teachers and any others who
may wish to hear him. His name will
be given on posters sometime this
week.
There is a strong sentiment toward
having school board convention in
connection with the closing days of
the training school. Should this be
deemed expedient notices will be sent
to each board member throughout the
county explaining the law, which pro-
vides, among other things, So per day
for one day only, to each member, and
five cents per mile coming and return
ing. Able speakers will be present
and the full duties of the boards, the
interests of the schools, and the rela-
ton the boards bear to the schools
will be taken up and discussed. It
will also give board members and
teachers an opportunity to meet and
talk over the situation in the various
schools.
The large enrolment makes it rather
heavy work for the instructors, but
they have accepted the situation with
good grace and are driving the work
for all they are worth.

those now enrolled, together with
