GOTTWERTH HUNTS DUCKS.

Goes to Big Bog and Finds He Left
Gunstock at Home.
"I'll show some of these braggarts
how to kill ducks!" Thus spake Herr
Gottwerth as he started, with his wife,
toward the Big bog early Sunday
morning. Arriving at the place OF
destination he alighted from the
buggy and requested Mrs. Gottwerth
to wait in the rig for him about
twenty minutes. 'In that time I cal
culate I can shoot buggy load,"
declared Herr Gottwerth. And away
he went Flooding through the swamp.
Seeing flock of ducks affair which
was headed toward him he opened up
his gun case and began to prepare
for action. He pulled the barrels
from the Enclosure and then reached
for the stock. But 10, there was no
stock there. BE had removed it at
home to oil it and forgotten to re-
place it in the case. At about that
time ducks were passing over his
head in myriads-they were so near
and yet so far to Herr Gottwerth.
A short distance to the south, how
ever, he deserted two other hunters,
and as the ducks passed over them
these nimrods brought down a goodly
number. Herr Gottwerth hurried to
the place of execution and induced
the boys to part with twelve mallards
for fifty cents apiece. Rushing back
to the buggy he complained that his
luck had not been so good as he ex-
pected, "but," says he, holding up
the bunch for his wife to admire,
II guess I have enough for a couple
of meals"
When the boys who killed the ducks
returned to town they gave the story
away.

The Football Game.

Back From the Wilds.

Elmer Farley and Fred Goulding
returned from the Big Fork country
on Friday, where Mr.. Farley has a
claim. The boys were in the wilds for
several weeks and had to depend
largely on their guns for fresh meat.
"Partridges we're plentiful, " says Mr..
Farley, "and we killed couple of
bear, but the most toothsome morsel
we obtained was porcupine. The
next time we go into the wilderness we
will make endeavor to bring back a
moose. We saw several herds of these
animals and almost came within shak-
highland distance of big bull, but
the law of course prevented US from
sending bullet into it's heart at that
time.''

A. Special Thanksgiving Offering.

We desire to remind the many
friends of Miss Frances Franklin of
the splendid services she has given in
various communities as teacher in the
public schools, and of the effort she
has Away put forth in assisting the
best causes wherever she has labored.
No one within the limit of our &C.
quaintance has worked with greater
zeal, or exerted a nobler influence
than Miss franklin. The scholars by
the hundreds, who have been so for
tunate as to receive her instruction,
will voice this sentiment.
It is generally known that, while
studying in university few years
ago, preparing herself for wider fields
of usefulness, her health failed so that
she was compelled to abandon all
work of any kind. For three years
she has suffered intensely, and is now
a victim of complete nervous prostra-
ton, rendering her practically help
less.
She has spent all her means in
futile attempts to regain her health,
so that she could continue the work
that was near her heart. All these
efforts have been in vain, and she is
now entirely dependent upon her
friends.
She is now living near her old home
in Wyanett. Her friends in this CON-
munity will exert themselves to their
utmost in her behalf, and take this
opportunity of inviting those in other
localities to join with them in a
Thanksgiving Offering for her, one
that will be worthy of our estimable
friend, worthy of the faithful record
she has written in her life's service,
and worthy of her more fortunate
friends. Let US make this true
Thanksgiving Offering, the expression
of our grateful hearts, that the dark
and lonely hours of our friend may be
frightened by the cheering knowledge
that she is held in happy remem-
brance.
Committees have been appointed in
various localities including the fol-
lowing: Mrs. George Smith, Cam
bridge; Mr.. Eric Moody, East Cam
bridge; Mrs. P. M. Peterson, Stanch-
field; Mrs. Jay Smith, Spencer Brook.
Kindly send your Offering to one of
the above mentioned persons, if pos
sible, as early as Nov. Is, after
which they will be sent to the under
signed. These, together with local
and other offerings from a distance,
can then be presented to Miss Frank
lin on Thanksgiving Day. -.

Prosperous and Contented,.

The following address was made to
the farmers national congress at
Oklahoma City, Okla, by President
John N. Stahl:
''The year drawing to close has
been one of unusual seasonable vicis-
STUDIES. In some sections heavy crop
losses have resulted from insects and
unsas.sonable weather, yet because Of
higher prices the farmers of the
United States will receive almost or
quite one billion dollars more for
their crop than they did last year.
I can congratulate you on your great
material progress for the year.
"Unlike that of the captains of high
finance and stock manipulators, our
wealth is clean. Every dollar made
means that much more to feed and
clothe mankind, that much more for
comfort and happiness.
"Our wealth is made in close CO.
partnership with the Almighty Being.
Our wealth is made in harmony with
the laws of nature. Our wealth is
wealth created, a gain, wealth where
that much wealth did not exist before.
But we are not to be congratulated
alone on our wealth. No other class
is being so thoroughly and widely
educated in the broadest sense of the
word, no other class has such pro-
vision for education in it's special
work
''We have some fifty experiment
stations and some fifty colleges, high
ly equipped and literally supplied
with funds.
In our country homes are still
found the simple, sweet old faith. In
them the Bible is read and the highest
morals are inculcated.
"Truly in the farmers is yet to be
found that trianing that produces the
highest type of manhood and woman
hood and upon which the country must
rely.D

THE POTAT0 MARKET.
rlarket Inclined to be Weaker but Re.
celpts at Warehouses Larger
Than Previous Weeks.
Shippers Greatly Inconvenience by
Car Shortage and Railroads
Suspension of Transfer.

The local potato market is some
what weaker in town than last week,
but the receipts at the warehouses
have been much larger. Shipments
have been small in consequence of
car shortage and the warehouses, with
few. exceptions, are being fast filled.
"Unless relief comes soon in the
shape of cars" says W. b. Terrell,
"we will be compelled to discontinue
buying for time."
Orders have been issued by the
Great Northern road that no cars
which call for transfer in the twin
cities will be received until the con-
gestion in the yards has been relieved.
This means that shippers here can
only load Great Northern cars for
points on that road and have to take
chances on securing foreign cars for
shipments over other railways. The
situation is particularly embarrassing
and if such condition continues, say
the. buyers, it is bound to result in
lower prices.
The American Society of Equity
agent at this place has put a con.
siderable quantity into the cellars
this week, but so far has not made
any shipments. This looks like a
wise move, as the shortage in the
potato crop throughout the country
should, in the natural order of things,
result in higher prices later in the
season.
Most of the farmers in this locality
have finished digging their potatoes.

OLD SETTLER DEAD
Hugh Brown Passes Away at North
western Hospital From Effects
of Apoplectic Stroke.
Funeral Held Yesterday Afternoon
Under Direction of Princeton
Lodge of Odd Fellows.

Hugh brown, one or PrlncetOn'
early settlers, died at the Northwest
ern hospital in this village on Sun
day evening at 1850 o'clock from
apoplexy superinduced by paralysis.
Mr.. Brown sustained the shock on
the preceding Thursday evening at
1880 O'Clock at the residence of Frank
Lafavor in Baldwin, where he had for
some time made his home, and on
Friday morning he was taken to the
Northwestern hospital.
The funeral services we're conducted
in the Methodist church by Rev. J. w.
Heard yesterday afternoon at 2
O'Clock and the remains were fol-
lowed to the grave in Oak Knoll Gem
etery by several relatives and a large
number of the friends of the good old
man. The ceremony at the grave was
in accordance with the ritual of the
Odd Fellows, the funeral having been
under the direction of that order.
Mr.. Brown had been an Odd Fellow
for fifty years. Among the relatives
at the funeral from out of town were
Mrs. Cross and Mrs. Vessel of St.
Paul, daughters of the deceased.
Hugh Brown was born in County
Tyrone, Ireland, of Scotch parents,
in 1881, and was consequently 76
years of age. He came to America
when young man and took up his
residence in the state of New York.
In 1859 he was married in that state
to Miss Eliza Hills and in 1865, with
his wife, came to Princeton and pur-
chased the house now occupied by
John W. Goulding, where he lived
few years and then filed on claim in
Baldwin township at a point then
known as "Mosquito Rapids" on the
Rum river. He lived on this claim
about five years, when he returned to
Princeton and engaged in the black
smith business, continuing in that
occupation until 1887 or. whereabouts.
He then moved to Stonybrook dam,
in Alberta township, on the west
branch of the Rum river, where for
three years he conducted a hotel for
lumbermen. At the expiration of that
time he sold the hotel to Townsend
Bros. and went to Sank Rapids. At
that place he engaged in the general
mercantile business, but upon the
death of his wife, which occurred af-
ter a residence of five years there, he
sold out, returned to Princeton aud
boarded with tenants who occupied
his house near the West Branch
bridge. There he made his home until
the fall of 1905, when he went to live
with Frank Lafavor in Baldwin and
remained there until taken to the hos
pital last week.
Mr.. Brown was an honest, reliable
old gentleman and his career was one
of industry and perseverance. He
was in all respects good citizen and
his friends in this part of the country
we're many.
One son and two daughters survive
MIR. Brown, viz, Fred Brown, Prince
ton; Mrs. Anna E. Cross and Mrs.
Wilhelmina VESSEL, St. Paul. He

trict court at Detroit for the loss of
an eye under peculiar circumstances.
Mr.. Hoover was employed in hand
ling lumber for the Nichols-C Chisholm
company and was sent into it's black
smith shop to repair broken tool.
In endeavoring to weld the iron he
was struck in the eye by a bit of red
hot steel that had been loosened by
his blows. The injury cost him the
sight Of the eye, and he took the
ground that the company was liable
for the reason that it's foreman had
ordered him to do work for which he
had not been employed and with tools
with which he was not familiar. He
brought suit for $4,000 damages.
