Twenty-Three Days in a Well.

Last week as a man was crossing
the farm of Tom Kaliher in the town
of Baldwin he heard the whine of a
dog apparently issuing from the
bowels of the earth. He proceeded
in the direction from whence the sound
came and there ran across a disused
we'll the top of which was covered
with brush. In the bottom of this we'll
was the dog pitifully whining for as
sistance. When eventually brought
to the surface "Sport", for that is the
dogs name, was a mere skeleton-the
poor fellow was so weak it could
scarcely crawl. Upon investigation it
was ascertained that the dog had been
in the bottom of the we'll twenty three
days-or at least that was the time it
had been absent from home. The dog
is great rabbit hunter, and tits sup
posed that one of these animals
which it was pursuing ran under the
pile of brush and Sport followed,
both of the animals going headlong
to the bottom. There the dog ate the
rabbit, but how many meals it made
of it is impossible of finding out.
However, one rabbit must have made
a pretty slim food supply for twenty
three days. The dog, Sport, is the
property of Sjobolm & Olson and it
is now being nursed back to it's
original condition with porterhouse
steak and other strength producing
foods.

secure some of the paraphernalia used
in the previous nights play when
Martin Brands, not knowing she was
in the room of course, locked the
door. There being no way of attract
ing attention Miss Peterson was COM
PEELED to remain there and await a
deliverer. During the period of her
captivity she amused herself by read
ing the works of the late Mr.. Shakes
peare and the book of Job. Mr..
Brands avows that hereafter he will
look through every nook and corner
of the building before locking the
doors, for, said he, should a nervous
woman be thus imprisoned she would
in all probability go into Mysteries.
Mr.. Brands should be compelled to
treat all the high school pupils to
candy la chocolate.

House and Contents Burn.

The house occupied by Alfonso
Howard was Quilted and the greater
portion of it's contents destroyed by
fire on Sunday morning between the
hours of and 2 O'Clock.
Mr.. Howard was awakened by his
wife, who said that she smelled smoke,
but he paid little attention to it
at the time thinking it was mere
imagination on her part. Shortly
thereafter, however, burning embers
fell from the ceiling onto the floor
near the foot of the bed and it was
seen that there was no time to lose in
getting out. Mr.. and Mr.. Howard,
after hurriedly dressing the children
and themselves, left the building with
all possible speed and an alarm was
turned IN. The fire department was
soon ON the spot and speedily sub
sdued the flames, but the building was
practically ruined together with the
furniture. excepting sewing machine,
which was removed.
The house was a one-story structure
with an attic and it is supposed that
the fire originated from the chimney
becoming overheated and communicate
ing with six-by-four timbers which
were used as braces for such chimney.
The chimney ran in a slanting direc-
ton from the ground floor to the
angle of the roof.
An insurance of $500 on the building
and $500 on the furniture was carried
in J. J. Skahen's agency. The house

SENIOR CLASS PLAY

"Merchant of Venice Up to Date" Re-
ceives Liberal Patronage.
1.-The Merchant of Venice Up to
Date" was produced at Brands opera
house on Friday night by the senior
class of the high school, and the sue
cess which it attained was we'll
merited. It was one of the best home
talent performances ever produced in
Princeton and the management as we'll
as participants are entitled to much
credit. It was evident that every one
OF the actors was perfectly familiar
with his or her part, for the represent
alton was excellent. The up to date
version of 1.-The Merchant of Venice''
is play adapted to modern times it
is catchy and appeals to the multi
tude. One hundred and fifty dollars
was taken in for tickets. This leaves
a nice little balance for the treasury.

Latter is Defeated In Indoor Rifle Shoot

Latter is Defeated In Indoor Rifle Shoot by
Margin of Five Points.
Seven marksmen of Company B, NJ.
N. g., Anoka, tried their skill against
a like number of Company G's mem
bers on Tuesday evening at Armory
hall in this village. The Anoka rifle
men were the victors, defeating the
Princeton boys by the small margin
of five points. Following is the
scores:
Anoka-Kelly, 127: Palmer, 100: La
Page, III; Ridge, 12S; Barber, 124;
Wanless, 129; Caldwell, 119. Total
number of points, 874.
Princeton-Sanford, 129; Byers,
100; Dorm, 113; Pittsley, III; Sell
horn, 128; Bemis, 1873; H. Marshall,
122. Total number of points, 869.
The first contest between these teams
was pulled off in Anoka, at which
time Princeton won. Thus the COM
panies are now even, and another
match will be shot at Anoka next week
to decide the winning team.
On Saturday night the Princeton
team will shoot against that of Worth
ington. This will be accomplished by
means of an exchange of thirty targets
so that the Princeton team will
score on the Worthington targets and
| vice versa, each team shooting in it's
own armory. The targets will then
be again exchanged and the contest
thereby decided.
These indoor target shoots have
been source of much benefit as we'll
as amusement to the various COM
panies of the militia during the wiz
ter months.

A Friend of Texas Excerpts.

A couple of weeks ago an item
copied from the Aitkin independent,
written by a Texas correspondent of
that paper, appeared in the Union.
Mr.. II. I. Claggett of Pine City, in a
letter to the publisher of the U Mon,
takes exception to the assertions of the
Independent correspondent. Mr.
Claggett quotes letters from several
farmers on the gulf coast of Texas
who are doing we'll in raising rice and
small fruit. One farmer harvested
crops of rice from IS acres in three
years that amounted to over 1000.
The U n has no desire to misrep-
resent any section OF our great coun-
try. Texas has it's advantages and
disadvantages, so has Minnesota.
An Intelligent, Industrious man can
do we'll in either state, while there are
some people who would not be con-
tented anywhere and would not pros
per if located in ''Garden of Eden. -

Eloquent Bryan.

In addressing a large audience at
Buffalo, N. Y, on the anniversary of
Lincoln's birthday, W. j. Bryan
said: 81 shall be content if, when my
days are numbered, it can be truth
fully said of me that I was a toiler,
laboring as best I could. 1 have
nothing to ask of the American
people except to be permitted to
spend the rest of my life repaying the
debt of gratitude I owe them. If I
ever hold Office it must not be because
I want it but because they want me to
serve. Sometimes eastern papers
have called me a dictator? What
have I with which to force one single
being? What have I with which to
influence one single vote? have no
patronage with which to corrupt you;
I never had. I have no corporations
behind me with which to terrorize
you; I never had. What is the sum
of my offending? It is that I have
talked too frankly and fearlessly on
the things in which we are both
interested. 1t is that I have defended
democracy as l have understood
democracy.

st. Patrick's Day,

st. Patrick's day was not celebrated
with Hibernian parade, the rolling
of drums and blowing of flies, as it
should have been, but still it was
religiously observed by the old
timers, some of whom claim a direct
descent from the patron saint. And
not this alone, but the green ribbon
foated from the lapels of Germans,
English, Scotch, Swedes, Norwegians
and others of devious foreign extrac-
ton. This is as it should be. The
U n n Office was fortunate in secur-
ing a sealed package of the real old
stuff which added interest to the day
not imported eyewater, to be sure, but
a package of genuine shamrock from
the Emerald Isle. While the balmy
breath of spring was not particularly
in evidence on St. Patrick's day,
still there we're breaths afloat that
were far from chilly. Faith, There
was no drunkenness, but it is GUS
tomary for the old boys to take just a
nip of the ''crathur'' on the 18th of
March in honor of the good old
gentleman who drove the snakes out of
Ireland.
