Why Colds Are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordin-
ary colds and recovered from them
without treatment Of any kind, do not
for moment imagine that colds are
not dangerous. Everyone knows that
pneumonia, and chronic catarrh have
their origin in common cold. Con-
sumption is not caused by cold but
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of the
germs that would not otherwise have
found lodgment 1t is the same with
all infectious diseases. Diphtheria,
scarlet fever, measles and whooping
cough are much more likely to be
contracted when the child has a cold.
You will see from this that more real
danger turks in cold than in any
other of the common ailments. The
easiest and quickest way to cure a
cold is to take Chamberiain's Cough
Remedy. The many remarkable cures
effected by this preparation have
made it a staple article of trade over
a large part of the world. For sale

Pike In Rum River.

A press dispatch says that one of
the largest pike ever taken from Lake
Bemidji was caught by Ross Rey-
nolds, night clerk at the Markham
hotel, and Fred Ford, who succeeded
in hooking a fish that tipped the scales
at seven and one-half pounds.
This fish, compared with pike
caught in the Rum river is a mere in
FAINT. Two of this species of fish
weighing nine and a half and eleven
pounds were taken out of the Rum
river last fall by one of T. H. Caley's
workmen. And from this same river
has been taken larger fish than this,
but not pike. Last week Chas. Beto
and neighbor captured a pickerel
that resembled sawlog and weighed
twenty-six pounds.

Organized Labor and the A. S. of E.

Aside from the trades union move
ment no social or public question
enlists our sympathy and captivates
our attention compared with the new
organization recently launched and
known as the American Society of
Equity. The farmer never yet got
fair play from the commercial para
sites who enlarged their Golfers by
manipulating the products of his toll.
This is an age when the producing
classes are waking up to their God
given rights and We are glad the farm
ers are realizing the necessity of as
sorting their birthright prerogatives.
The American Society of Equity, as
it's name implies, is on the right track,
and we wish it the success it's meritori-
Gus object unquestionably deserves

CRACKS NIALAR BONE.

Careless Handling of Chalmers Noyel Gun
Results In Disaster.
Bernie Nichols, aged about IA
years, residing on the north side, had
made up his mind to celebrate the
Fourth in truly patriotic style, so he
prevailed upon Mr.. Chalmers to let
him shoot off his famous quick-fring
gun. Mr.. Chalmers instructed the
young idea how to shoot, but it seems
that the boy failed to follow instruc-
tions. AS consequence the gun ex-
ploded and the shell rebounded, strik-
ing young Nichols on that part of the
jaw known technically as the malar
bone.
DR.. Armitage reduced the fracture,
which is in the form of V below the
right eye, and the young man is pro-
crossing favorably toward recovery.
The above was the only Fourth of
July accident recorded in Princeton.

HORSE CASE RULING
supreme Court Reverses the District
Court in Appeal of Samuel
Winsor and Others.
Decision of Considerable Importance
to All Farmers Who Have
rlade Like Purchases,

The supreme court recently handed
down it's decision reversing the order
OF the judge of the district court in
the case of the Union National Bank
OF Columbus, Ohio, VS.. Samuel Winsor
ct al. This is a case which has con-
siderable local interest as the defend
ants are all we'll known farmers of
Mile Laos, Isanti and Sherbune
counties: The history of the case is
as follows: .... .... ..
Mr.. Winsor and a dozen other farm
ers signed three notes of 81, 900 each
for the purchase of stallion from
Mclaughlin Bros. of Columbus, Ohio.
The makers of the notes claimed that
these notes were obtained by fraud. as
the horse was not as represented, be-
ing diseased and older than stated by
Mclaughlin Bros. Other elements of
fraud entered into the transaction and
Mr.. Winsor and the others interested
notified Mclaughlin Bros. of these
facts and asked a return and cancella-
ton of the notes.
The suit was brought by the bank
which claimed to have bought the
notes without any notice of Defend
ants claims. The case was heard in
Princeton at the April, 1906, term of
the district court. The defendants
sought to prove to jury that the
bank was not an innocent purchaser
without notice of the claims of de-
PENDANTS, but the judge refused to let
the case 60 to the jury and ordered
judgment in favor of the bank. The
defendants moved for a new trial
which was refused.
From this order of the court the de-
PENDANTS appealed and the supreme
court has reversed the district court.
Messrs. Dickey and Stiles repre-
sented the farmers in the case and
Reynolds & Roeser of St. Cloud were
the attorneys for. the bank.

A reception was given on Monday
afternoon by the Ladies' Aid society
at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. E..
B. Anderson in honor of Mrs. Rose
Patterson and two daughters, Helen
and Mary, who will leave within a
few days for Seattle. The reception
was largely attended and the Ander-
son home was prettily decorated with
cut flowers and ferns.
Mrs. M. G. Libby, on behalf of the
Ladies' Aid society, in an appropri-
ate speech, presented Mrs. Patterson
with a pretty gold ring set in pearls
as a token of the high esteem in which
she is held. The ring was brought in
upon a satin pillow covered with
flowers by two little girls dressed in
white. Mrs. Patterson responded to
the presentation speech in a few re-
marks, feelingly thanking the donors
for their kind remembrance and true
friendship.
At the conclusion OF the presenta.
ton ice cream, cake and lemonade
were served to the guests.
The numerous friends of Mrs. Pat
terson and daughters very much re-
greet that they have decided to leave
Princeton, but wish them success and
happiness in their new home.

PROSPECT IS BRIGHT
Over Twenty-Five Per Cent of Sum
Necessary to Buy Land for
Fair Grounds Pledged.
Another Public rleeting Will Be Held
in Court House Hall r1onday
Afternoon, July 18th.

At the adjourned fair meeting held
in the court house hall on the after
noon of the 5th inst. the attendance
was larger than at the previous
meeting, but no one was crowded for
sitting or standing room. Mr.. L. S.
Briggs was chosen as temporary
chairman and r. G. Dunn acted as
temporary secretary. The committee
appointed at the previous meeting to
get prices on sites reported that the F.
G. Cater tract of 40 acres, west of his
residence, could be had for $50 per
acre; the Rines 40 on which the pres
ent fair grounds are partly located
could be had at the same price; and
Mrs. Amanda Cater would sell the 40
Immediately west of the Rines 40 for
$50 per acre.
After short talks by Messrs. Briggs.
Dickey, Terrell, Scheen, Holthus,
Robideau, Dunn and others, on mo-
ton of Mr.. Dickey the chair ap-
pointed a committee of three, consist
ing of Henry Holthus, Nelse Robi-
deau and Chas. A. Dickey, to act with
the chairman and secretary, to make
further inquiries regarding sites, pre-
pare new articles of incorporation,
solicit pledges for stock, etc., and re-
port at an adjourned meeting to be
held at the same place (court house
halD on the afternoon Of Monday,
July Is, at 3 o'clock.
It was the unanimous opinion of all
present that if sufficient pledges for
stock could be secured the proper
thing to do would be to reorganize
and transact business in a business
like manner hereafter. It was
thought if stock. to the amount of
81 900 was taken a 40 acre tract could
be purchased, grand stand erected,
a half mile track laid OUT at least one
good stock barn built, and a horti-
cultural hall provided, the grounds
fenced in and fair held this fall,
perhaps week or ten days later than
usual. 1t was also the opinion of
several of those whose names appear
below that if enough interest was not
manifested to secure pledges for stock
to at least the amount of 1900 the
project ought to be dropped. The
following who were present at the
meeting agreed to take stock in the
amounts set opposite their names:

nation to do these things. He must
be able to see things that are shut out
from the sight of the 'sman from Mis-
souri,
Farmers must also learn to trust
each other and to even trust other
people who seem to be all right. Bust
ness men trust each other, although
they are no more honest than farm
ers. It is always we'll to watch your
agent or employe, but in order to do
business of any kind we must trust
somebody: Farmers trust the bust
ness men they deal with, but do not
seem to trust their own neighbors to
do the same thing.
There is often a spirit of jealousy
among neighbors on the farm that
keeps them from cooperating and
helping each other. This is entirely
wrong. It is that spirit which has
kept farmers from doing the things
they might do. Farmers will often
vote for lawyers to misrepresent them
rather than for farmers who would
represent them. Farmers are just as
wise as other men. They are no easier
fooled, and if they had confidence in
themselves they could accomplish just
as much in a business way as other
men.-Chas. W. Browne in Up-to- Date
Farming.
