THE EVANGELISTS.
Last Week of Services by Messrs. Smith &
Roper In Opera House,

Last Week of Services by Messrs. Smith g.
Roper In Opera House.
This is the last week of the evangel-
istic meetings in Princeton and
Messrs. Smith and Roper have had
busy time since they came here. At
almost every meeting the house has
been packed and the evangelists have
made many converts.
On Tuesday every business house
in town closed for an hour to afford
the male population an opportunity to
attend special services and the opera
house was comfortably filled. Upon
the same day prayer meetings we're
held for women at several residences
in town and all we're we'll attended.
Messrs. Smith and Roper have ac-
complished much good during their
stay here and the residents are CRATE
full to Revs. Heard and Swertfager for
obtaining such able men to expound
the gospel.

The court machinery ran as
smoothly as the well-oiled piston Of
Corliss engine. But this could scarcely
be otherwise with SO able a jurist as
Judge Taylor on the bench and such
capable officials as County Attorney
Ross, Clerk of Court King, Sheriff
Shockley and Stenographer Wood
ward to help things along. In fact
all the court officers performed their
duties exceptionally we'll.

W. J. Eynon VS.. Thos. F. Norton.
Thos. 81. Salmon for plaintiff, Geo.
W. Stewart for defendant. This is an
action for Islander in which plaintiff
sought to recover punitive damages
from defendant. It is the fourth time
the suit has come up for hearing, it
having been continued for various
causes from one term of court to
another. The trial, which continued
throughout Wednesday, attracted more
attention than any case which has so
far come up at this term. Witnesses
from the lake country were numerous
on each side and some of the evidence
was of sensational and vilifying
nature. The attorneys on each side
this morning summed up the evidence
and Judge Taylor directed the jury to
return a verdict for the plaintiff,
W. J. Eynon. The jury, after an alb
sence of an hour, brought in verdict
for plaintiff and fixed the damages
at SlOO.

tertere with other similar concerns.
There is room for a dozen more CO.
operative creameries in Mile Laos
county and I would like to see them
built. Don't make the mistake that
was made when the first cooperative
creamery was organized in Princeton.
Hold your stock. If individual
firms can make a profit buying
cream from you, why can't you make
a greater profit by converting that
cream into butter yourselves? You
can obtain just as good a market as
the centralizers because you can make
butter of as high grade, if not higher.
The cooperative creamery is a good
thing. Put your shoulder behind it
and push it along.
Mr.. Galley stated that 10000 pounds
of butter could be manufactured at a
cost not much greater than that of
producing 1000 pounds. This state
ment was verified by Mr.. Fox.
A rising vote was then taken to OBJ
tain an idea of how many farmers
present would take stock in the cream
cry and about 40 signi6ed their will
ingness.
j. j. Skahen suggested that a COM
mittee be appointed to arrange the pre-
liminaries and that the farmers from
each town represented make nominal
tions. AS a result the chairman ap-
pointed the following:
Blue Hill-Michael Kaliher, A. c..
Nelson. Greenbush-R. S. Shaw,
Herman Riemann. Princeton-Jacob
Ellenbaum, Henry Holthus. Bogus
BROOKLYN. G. Thorring, John Dali
chow, Peter Jenson. Wyanett-
Rust, Maurice Thompson. Baldwin
Chas. Judkins, Martin Rossing, j. H.
Angstman. Michael Kaliher was ap-
pointed chairman and the committee
retired to the adjoining hall to de-
eide upon mode of procedure. After
a long consultation the committee re-
turned and reported that it had de-
cided to call another meeting at the
opera house for Saturday afternoon
next at 2 O'Clock, and that in the
meantime the members would ascertain
how many farmers would take stock
in their respective towns and how
many COWS were available.
Following is list of the names of
those who contributed to the creamery
bonus and the amounts subscribed by
each:

Proposed Pickle Sailing Station,

During the time the creamery com.
mittee was celebrating in the adjoin.
ing hall M. M. Stroeter of the Stroetel
Picking company, Foley, made a
proposition to establish pickle salt.
ing station in Princeton. He said he
wanted no bonus, but all that was
necessary was for the farmers living
in the territory tributary to Princeton
to agree to plant not less than 1OC
acres of cucumbers this season. It
would not pay him to erect building
and put in the necessary plant for less
acreage than this, but they could cul.
tivate two or three hundred acres il
they felt so inclined, and he would put
up bond to buy for cash their Gu.
cumbers for five years at 81, 60 cents
and 30 cents per hundred, according
to grade. He could do this, he said,
because he was confident that after
the first year-after the farmers had
found out the profit in cucumber rails
ing-they would grow more instead of
less. Mr.. Stroeter explained that the
length of the cucumber determined the
grade and the price. For cucumbers
between IL and 315 inches in length
81 Der 100 pounds was paid, between
that and AZ inches 60 cents for 100
pounds, and from that to 81 inches 30
cents per hundred. One pound of
seed, he said would plant an acre and
that seed would cost the farmer so
cents. It was necessary that all seed
be purchased from the Picking COM
pany for the reason that only one
species of cucumber was used-the
Boston pickle.
Speaking of cucumber production
Mr.. Stroeter said that his company
paid out to it's Foley station last year
Sc, 900 for the product of ITO acres,
and so we'll pleased we're the farmers
that they intend planting about $50
acres this year. Some farmers, he
said, picked ton of cucumbers from
one acre every other day during the
season. The cucumbers are usually
picked by the children of the family.
It would not of course pay to hire
men at So day for the work. One
man near Foley, said Mr.. Stroeter,
realized $l57 from an acre of cucum-
bers and another SAB.
Mr.. Stroeter distributed a number
OF blanks among the farmers for the
signatures of those who will agree to
plant cucumbers and the specification
of acreage and asked that they be re-
turned to him next Saturday at the
opera house after the creamery
meeting. The sailing station project
will then be again taken up.
