PICNIC AT ELK LAKE.
Farmers and Their Families Gather at
the Park and Enjoy Outing to
Their Hearts Content.
w. G. Weber, District Organizer of
American Society of Equity,
49,. Addresses Assemblage.

On Tuesday, as announced in last
weeks q Mon, a farmers basket
picnic was held on the picturesque
park grounds at Elk lake-Pratt &
Sons summer resort. This gathering
was held under the auspices of the
Zimmerman local union of the Ameri-
can Society of Equity, and the day
being particularly favorable, large
number of people took advantage of
the opportunity afforded to enjoy the
outing. Family groups took up posi-
tions here and there beneath the
hanging branches of the trees,
spread table covers or newspapers on
the grass and ate their luncheons in
true Robin Hood style. Many of the
picnickers went upon the lake in row.
boats and launches and many of them
captured very nice strings of fish.
During the afternoon W. C. Weber
Of Rochester, Mimi, district organ
izer of the American Society of
Equity, delivered an address in the
pavilion to packed house. Mr..
Weber sought particularly to explain
new plan of the society's, the object
of which is to handle farm products in
departments at central points
as grain department, potato depart
ment, etc..-and, when prices were
fixed by farmers in local or district
union conventions upon any particu-
lar product, the American Society of
Equity would agree to secure the
prices adopted. Thus every local or
district union could set it's own price,
ship to the departments at the central
points, and be assured that the prod
ucts would not be disposed of for
less prices than specified by such
unions. Mr.. Weber also spoke of
the attempt of. the society to secure
better shipping facilities and said that
such endeavors were fast bearing
fruit. The main objects of the society
were also explained by him aud he
made clearly apparent to the farmers
that in becoming members of the order
they could not do other than better
their condition.
| The Zimmerman local union was
highly praised by Mr.. Webber. He
said that it was one of the best and
most successful in the country-that
he was proud of the manner in which
the famers of that union were work
ing together. "Perfect harmony pre-
walls in the Zimmerman union,'' said
he.
This union certainly deserves all
the praise that Mr.. Weber bestowed
upon it. It owns it's own warehouse,
and it's superintendent, Mr.. J. L.
Freeland, is making success of his
sales. He has shipped this season
considerable quantity of potatoes and
grain, and a very fair profit has been
secured-much greater than had the
products been sold to middlemen.
All in all the outing at Elk Lake
park was an enjoyable and instructive
event.

Mrs. Sarah Edsit of Owatonna,
grand chief of the order of Pythian

Court House Sidewalk,

The cement sidewalks on the south
and east sides of the court house
grounds and the approach to the
county building from First street have
been completed by Bergman Bros.
and the work is we'll executed. Com
missioners Libby and Uglem, who
comprise the county Improvement
committee, will next endeavor to Sc
cure fence for the court house
grounds. These grounds should GER
tainly have a fence around them. AS
they are now-open on all sides-it is
impossible to maintain a respectable
looking park, for people cross in all
directions and trample down the
grass. The committee on improve
ments is a good one and should re-

Star Entertainment Course.

The ladies of the Methodist church
have undertaken a short entertain
ment course for the season of 19O7-8.
They do not expect to make money,
as it is we'll known by those who have
had experience that high-grade attrac-
tions take about the entire proceeds
and sometimes little more.
In selecting four entertainments
from the list furnished by the Colum-
bian Bureau of St. Paul the commit
tee has tried not to please just a GER
tain kind of taste, but to provide a
course some parts Of which will please
everybody. Some do not care for a
lecture but like a negro plantation
quartet, others prefer lecture. Some
like one kind of musical entertainment
and some another. But to bring an
entertainment course within reach of
what Princeton will pay, some such
selection as follows must be made.
So the public is asked to be unselfsh
and support this course as whole
that the good work of furnishing
Princeton with strictly high-grade en-
tertainment may go on. The follow
ing is the list with the dates:
October 10, The Lyceum Stars: No
vember S, Herbert Leon Cope, humor-
ist; February IA, Robert Parker
Miles, lecturer; April 3, Old Planta-
tion Quartet.

the Townsend Block.
C0mmodiOus Quarters and Fine Line
of New Goods in Both Depart.
ments of Emporium.

saturday,. InlS emporium was eSpeC-
tally designed for Messrs. Kopp &
Bartholomew and therefore it exactly
suits their purposes. With entrances
on Main and First streets the estab-
lishment is exceptionally convenient.
On the Main street side is located the
ready-made clothing and gents furn-
ishing store, while on First street is
the merchant tailoring department..
The stocks in neither of the depart
ments are as yet complete, but still
there is a large selection to choose
from. In the Main street store man
can find almost anything he desires
in ready-to-wear clothes, hats, caps
and gents furnishings, while the latest
style fabrics are displayed in the tail
oring department. Everything in
both departments is new and in keep
ing with the times. Goods are arriv-
ing daily and in the course of week
Messrs. Kopp & Bartholomew will
have a much larger stock than now
displayed.
The establishment is lighted by
clusters of electric bulbs and plate
glass mirrors have been installed so
that people may see themselves as
others see them, and the show win
dows are highly attractive.
Messrs. Kopp & Bartholomew are
highly deserving young men, indus
trious and progressive, and since To-
eating in Princeton have proven them
selves worthy of public patronage.
George and the Hornet. -.s /
George Staples, while at Spectacle
lake on Sunday, had an encounter
with hornet which has decided him
to hereafter make closer examination
of his sandwiches before eating them.
He had just come in from tramp on
the lake shore and was as hungry as
a Siberian wolf in the winter time.
Rushing to his lunch basket, he
grabbed a big, fat sandwich and COM
menced to devour it to the extent OF
biting off the first mouthful. Right
then he stopped short and, muttering
few words in some foreign language,
ground up the mouthful and spat it
upon the face of the earth. George
had been stung on the tongue, and
realizing that hornet was in his
mouth he sought revenge by reducing
it to soft pulpy mass. But the
sting! That's where the rub came in,
for Georges tongue swelled to such
proportions that his mouth refused to
contain it and it dangled on the out
side of his face like unto that of a
canine in the torrid season., He
wrapped the member in handkerchief
to which solution of soda had been
applied and it was at least two hours
before the swelling had sufficiently
subsidized to permit him to push it
back into his mouth again. And the
pain! But ask George.

WENT FOR A DRIVE:
GOVERNOR IS W|LFUL
Doctor Said No But HanIy Said
Yes.
ON ROAD TO RECOVERY.

Indianapolis, May 3.-Against the
positive instructions of his physicians
to remain in bed for at least two days
longer, Governor Hanly yesterday aft
ernoon took a carriage drive about the
city. This was the first time he had
been out of his room for more than
three weeks. For days the governor
had chafed under his confinement and
yesterdays sunshine made him desire
to get out in the open. His physician
was consulted. but that official said
mo- in forceful and unmistakable
way. He had not more than left THE
house, however, than the governor be-
gan to make arrangements for a
drive. He was accompanied by Mrs.
Hanly and remained out for the great
er part of an hour. He shows that he
has been seriously ill., His face is
wan and his voice is high and thin,
He seemed cordial and hearty to his
friends. however. and it is thought he
will build up rapidly.

That the great Y. NJ. c. a. meeting

aroused greater interest in the cause,
probably more than any other known
source, was evidenced Thursday night,
when the young mems committees re-

the mass meeting. Instead of these
young men, who have already raised
more money for the work than any

leaving the executive committee To
raise the remaining $1,000, they an
nounced that they would immediately
lend their efforts to aid the executive

MORE WAGES Demanded.
MR.. NELSON SAYS THE MEN ARE
IN THE ATTITUDE OF STRIKING
AGAINST THEMSELVES AS THE
CONCERN IS -co-oPERAIlxE.

The following ST. Louis dispatch
owing to what Mr.. Nelson has done
for Dublin:
One hundred machinists employed
at the cooperative village of Leclaire,
near Edwardsville, H., founded by n.
o. Nelson. president of the n. o. Mel
son Manufacturing Company of st.
Louis, declared a walkout yesterday
afternoon.
According to Mr.. Nelson, who de-
parted for Kansas City last night, the
men are in the position of striking
against themselves, as each is a stock
holder in the Leclaire company, and
directly interested in the business.
The striking machinists are in the
brass shop and in the machine shops,
but while their union affiliations are
separate they are united in the pres
ent demand for 10 per cent. increase
in wages.
Mr. Nelson, in a speech to the men
yesterday, blamed the international
union for the dissatisfaction manifest,
and advised them not to act hastily.
Each union held a meeting yesterday
morning and gave the management
until o'clock to accede to the de-
mands The men quit at the appoint
ed hour.
Leclaire is suburb of Edwardsville
and partly inside the city limits. 1t
was founded several years ago by Mr..

thropic ideas of a cooperative town.
Nelson Addresses the Men.
In his speech to the striking work
men yesterday. Mr.. Nelson said:
"The international unions are not
familiar with the Leclaire idea and
cannot pass on Leclaire conditions of
employment or know what demands
are reasonable. Unionism is impor-
tant and useful for certain purposes,
but in our case it has never in any
manner benefited our employees, for
the reason that Leclaire was establish
ed and has been conducted entirely
for the benefit of the employees, and
whatever the management can afford
TO do is done without compuision.
The employees and customers now
own a large portion of the company
and in three or four years will own
practically all. By actual figures we
are paying higher wages than the ma
jority of the shops making similar
goods.
MY interests are chiefly in behalf
of the shops ard the men receiving
lower pay. The Nelson employees, not
only in LecIaire. but in Bessemer, st.
Louis and elsewhere, are absolutely
self-employing No trouble OF any
kind has ever arisen between us or
ever can except by command of for
eign authorities, the international un-

Trustee A. B. Parks and Board
Of the Methodist Church
Had a Difference.
OVER THE COMMENCEMENT.
EXERCISES WERE HELD IN THE
CHRISTIAN CHURCH BECAUSE
TRUSTEE PARKS WAS REFUSED
USE or METHODIST STRUCTURE

There is considerable feeling, exist
ing between Trustee A. B. Parks of
Boston township and the trustees of
trouble originated over the commence
ment exercises of the Boston township
schools which were held Thursday ev-
ening at the Christian church.
There has been considerable agita-
ton in Boston of late favoring the
placing of cement sidewalks on all the
streets of the village. Mr.. Parks, be-
sides being township trustee, is also
one of the trustees of the Methodist
church, which has the largest seating
capacity of any building in the town.
He desired to have the commence
ment exercises held at the Methodist
church and as it had been decided to
establish a new precedent by charging
a ten cent admission to these exer-
cises Mr.. Parks made a proposition to
his brother trustees that part of the
proceeds derived from the commence
ment exercises would be turned over
to the church to help meet its assess
ment for the cement walks.
Was Refused the Keys.
The trustees were pleased with the
proposition and accepted 1t. Thurs
day morning Mr.. Parks went to the
Methodist church for the purpose of
decorating it but the janitor refused
to give him the keys. When pressed
for reason by Mr.. Parks the janitor
stated that the trustees had ordered
bim not to allow Mr. Parks the use
of the church for the commencement
exercises.
In high dudgeon Mr. Parks immed-
lately went to the trustees of the
Christian church, which is quite a
small edifice. and made them the same
proposition that ne had the trustees
of the Methodist church. The PROPOSE
ton was accepted and Thursday night
the small building was simply pack
ed, the accommodations being entire
ly insufficient. The action of the
Methodist church trustees in turn
ing down Mr.. Parks proposition
after once accepting it remains unex-
planned. The incident has created
considerable talk in Boston township.
