The JeSmer Family.

Next week Mr.. and Mrs. N. E. JeS-
mer and their daughter Lola leave for
Seattle. We believe the Union
voices the sentiments of every man,
woman and child in this community
in saying that the departure of this.
estimable family from among US is
sincerely regretted by all. Mrs. Jes-
mer has been a resident of Princeton
for more than fifty years, and it is
largely on account of her health that
the change of location is being made.
= Miss Lola Jesmer is young lady
who has endeared herself to all her
acquaintance here in the place of
her birth. Roy Jesmer, the youngest
son, is located in Montana, and Bert
Jesmer, the eldest son, has been in
business at Seattle for several years.
Mr.. N. E. Jesmer was born in New
York state in 1S49, and came to
Princeton with his brothers Joseph
and A. D. in 1867. He was a poor
boy without much education and his
only capital was stout heart and
pair of willing hands. In the fall of
1867 he went to work for VIM. F. Dun
ham at small wages. During the next
two years he worked at whatever he
could get to do in Princeton and on
the Oliver Dalrymple farm in Dakota
county. In the meantime he attended
the Princeton school in the winter,
and Mr.. j. A. Ross, present county
attorney, was one of his first teach
ers. In the fall of 1869 Mr.. Jesmer
went to work for the late Mr.. II. B.
Cowles, then the leading merchant of
the place, and in 1874 he engaged in
the general merchandise business on
his own account in the frame building
on the south side of First street, which
is now owned by Mr.. Orr, and which
then stood on the site of the First Ma
tional bank building. By strict at
tention to business and fair dealing
Mr.. Jesmer prospered. In 1882 he
erected the first brick store in Prince
ton which was destroyed by fire in
1898. He was a heavy loser by the
fire but, nothing daunted, before the
ruins had fairly cooled he had CON-
menced to rebuild and he erected
building with an opera house in the
second story that would have been
credit to town many times larger
than Princeton. Last winter the fire
fend again scourged Mr.. Jesmer and
laid his splendid block in ashes. Mr..
Jesmer also erected the first modern
brick residence in this village,-he
has recently disposed of the same to
Mr.. S. S. Peterson of the First Ma
tional bank.
In all his dealings with his fellow
men Mr.. Jesmer was strictly honest
and his business associates had i'm
plicit confidence in him. He was fore
most in every project that would tend
to the up-building of Princeton. He
was one of the projectors of the starch
factory and was one of four who built
the first potato warehouse in Princeton,
he was also identified with the cream
cry, and he contributed literally

for Early Season.

The United States fish commission sta
ton at Bryan's Point, Nd, Is being made
ready for the annual propagation of yellow
perch, and within the next few days the
taking Of the spawn will be started The
men who will look after the work, under
the charge Of Capt. l.. G. Harron, went
to the station aboard the steamer Estelle
Randall Thursday last, and will remain
there for several months, employed in the
fish-hatching work. Many million of yell
low perch eggs are Matched in the course
of the season, and the young fish are
shipped to all points of the United States
to stock streams in which the conditions
are such that the fish will thrive, and
quantities of the fish are put in the Po-
tomac.
Judging from the success so far this
season the catch will be large and the
station will be able to obtain anil the eggs

the unfavorabble seasons in the past two
or three years, the shad Matching has not
been the success 1t should have been. The
eggs obtained were Matched all right, 1t
is said but they were very scarce, and the
output Of the hatchery was below the
average of what it had been in previous
years

THOUGHT SHEW ASDEAD'
POLICEMEN FIND APPARENTLY
LIFELESs WOMAN IN PARK.

Park Policemen Regain and Quinn made
startling discovery last evening about 10
o'clock near the entrance at 9th and B
streets while making their rounds In the
Smithsonian grounds. The policemen make
the rounds every hour or more frequently,
but they seldom find anything wrong at
this season of the year when the weather
is usually bad. Last night, however, as
they approached the 9th street entrance
they were startled at the sight Of woman
seated upon a bench with her head thrown
back and her mouth wide open. The police
. men made an investigation and failed to
detect any signs OF life One of them sug-
eested that the dead wagon" be sum-
moned
"Better send for the ambulance. instead
of the morgue wagon said the other,
thinking there might be spark of life
left in the body. -
When Policeman Regain went to summon
an ambulance his partner felt the wrist OF
the woman and found that her heart was
beating The odor of carbU1ic acid and alcohol
was strong The lips were badly burned
and the policeman feared the woman would
die before the Emergency Hospital could
LET me die" the patient said. when she
was placed in the ambulance. 4 want
to die"
At the. hospital the woman was recognized
as Jennie Wright who had been there be-
fore. but not for carbolic acid or other
poisoning. The patient was taken into the
operating room and placed upon the table.
The stomach pump was applied ana the
patient was soon relieved of the poison, II
any she had swallowed She gave her age
as thirty-seven years and her address at
914 14th street. The woman was told that
she would be able to leave the hospital to-

Negro Exhibit at Jamestown.

The executive committee Of colored men,
designated by the commissioners of the
jamestown ter-centennial exposition to
prepare the negro exhibit, is rapidly wind
ing up the preliminary work in connection
with that enterprise. A force of clerks,
stenographers and a special agent are kept
busy in room go Of the Treasury building
taking care Of the correspondence, direct
ing the movements of the field agents and
arranging for the larger exhibits, for which
contracts are being signed daily. The re-
ports coming in from the field covering the
entire country are said to be very satiSfac-
tory and the managers claim that the ind-
cations point to an exhibit that will faith
fully reflect the progress and achievements
of the colored race in America in all the
arts of civilization from the landing of the
first boatload of African slaves to the
present day. One of the most striking ex-
hibits will be a series of model groups,
with appropriate scenic accessories, illus
trating in chronological order the various
stages Of the racial history. The work is
in the hands of Meta Vaux Warrick, a
young colored sculptress of Philadelphia,
who is a graduate of the Drexel School of
Fine Arts and has had special training in
the art institutes of Paris, France.
Thomas J. Galloway, chairman of the
executive committee, has just returned
from the southern field. He states that
the educational exhibit from the several
colored schools of the south, notably Tus-
kegee, Hampton, Fisk, Livingstone and
Normal, will make displays.

ed new feature in the social life Of the
organization in the formation of what is to
be known as a confederate choir, and the

with its start, and Pickett Buchanan, Camp
Of Norfolk is organizing one. Col. w. H.
Stewart of Portsmouth, Va, the grand
commander of the Confederate Veterans of
Virginia, will recommend that all the camps
throughout the state take up the idea and
that they have the chapters of the Daugh-
tiers organize choirs at their earliest con-
venience

old war songs by a grand united choir,
made up of chapter choirs from all parts of
the state. a feature Of the next meeting of

DETROIT. Mich, March 9.-Gov. Fred
NJ. Warner this afternoon at the Hotel
Cadillac gave public hearing on the bill
rushed through the legislature this week
to prohibit mining CONF anies in Michigan
from voting any stock they may hold or
acquire in any other such corporation which
at the time of such purchase is operating
a producing mine. The bill which now
awaits the governors signature was avow-

Hecla Copper Mining Company from voting
it's shares in the Osceola, Allouse and Cen
tennial companies at the annual meetings
of the latter companies next week, when
1t has been understood the Calumet and
smaller companies.

citizens from the upper peninsular copper
country came to Detroit to oppose the
signing of the bill, and further hearing
will be held by Gov. Warner Monday after
noon at Lansing for the benefit of repre-
sentatives of the iron mining companies of
the upper peninsula
