FRED KEITH MARRIED
Takes Unto Himself as Wife Hiss
Georgiana Campbell, a Resi-
dent of This Village.
Nuptial Ceremony is Performed by
Rev. SVertfager at Home of
the Brides Parents.

Tuesday afternoon at 4 O'Clock at
the residence of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Campbell, &C.
Cured the wedding of Miss Georgiana
Campbell and Mr.. Fred Keith, son
of Mrs. Eva Keith, also of this place.
The wedding was quietly solemnized
by Rev. G. A. Swertfager, pastor OF
the Congregational church, in the
presence of few friends and the
immediate relatives of the family.
The bride wore her going-away
gown, which was of Atlantic blue
broadcloth with directoire coat to
match.
A friendly interest in the young
couple is felt by all as they we're both
born in Princeton and have always
made their homes here with the excep-
ton of the time necessarily spent away
in the pursuit of education. Their
romance dates back to their early
school days. AS each is an only
child it is particularly fitting and
pleasant that they will continue to
make their home here. Mr.. Keith is
identified with the First National bank
of this place.
The young couple left on the even
ing train for Duluth and other points
for wedding trip and will be at
home after the middle of December.

heartfelt thanks for the kind remem-
brance Of his friends.

into card party and the games con-
tinued until IL O'Clock. when light re-

GIVE THANKS TODAY
This is the Day Set Apart by the
President of This Country for
That Especial Purpose.
The Rich and Poor Alike Have Some-
thing for Which They Should
Be Truly Thankful.

This is Thanksgiving day-a day
set apart by the president of the
United States upon which to offer to
the Ruler of the universe thanks for
the many benefits received at his
hands during the past year.
The year has been one of general
prosperity, and the majority of people
have been beautifully supplied with
the necessaries of life by a kind and
considerate Providence. It is true
that there are those among US who
have been pierced by poverty's shaft,
but such poverty has in most instances
found relief in the charitable organi-
cations of the country and through the
philanthropic acts of individuals.
There are also those who have
suffered, and are suffering, from
physical ailments.
But withal every one of US can find
something to be thankful for, and
upon this day we should remember
our Creator by offering thanks for
whatsoever benefits we have received
at his hands.

Mr.. b. F. Mann is deserving OF

sociates. It is not to be wondered al
that the telephone system in the north
end of the county has not paid divi-
dends to the stockholders, the wonder
is that the company managed to
operate the lines. Years ago the
citizens of Princeton gave a large
bonus for the construction of a tele.

larger bonus was given toward a tele.

Regular Trains on the 500.

Regular train service has been in
stalled on the 500. Trains leave
Brooten on Monday and Thursday
mornings arriving at the eastern end
Of the road, at or near Moose Lake in
the evening of those days. The re-
turn trip is made On Wednesdays and
Saturdays. This is only a temporary
arrangement but it helps out the
people along the line of road. Judge
Mills of the railway and warehouse
commission inspected the completed
part of the road, between Brooten and
Moose Lake this week.
1t is not expected that regular daily
train service will be established until
the road is completed to Duluth on or
about July 1st next.

ACCIDENTALLY SHOT
William SchilIing is Wounded While
Hunting With r. Manke But
Not Seriously Injured.
When About to Shoot Rabbit CHARGE
From Manke's Gun is by
Some rleans Released.

William Schillirg was on Monday
afternoon accidentally shot while in
the woods hunting with Reinhardt
Manke. The circumstances surround
ing the accident are as follows:
The two men started out in the
morning to hunt deer but succeeded
only in bringing down a coon. They
went home for dinner and returned
in the afternoon to look for more
coons. In going through the woods
Mr.. Schilling was walking some dis
lance ahead of Mr.. Manke when a
rabbit ran out of the brush and the
latter pulled up his gun to shoot it..
Before he succeeded in getting the gun
to his shoulder, however, it was,
by some unaccountable means. dis
charged and the shot struck Mr..
Schilling in one of his arms and the
stomach. He Immediately fell to the
ground.
Mr.. Manke ran up to him and, find
ing him unconscious, ran to the home
OF his brother-in-law, Frank Schilling
to procure a team. At the same time
he told his sister, Mrs. Schilling, to
phone for a doctor. Mr.. Manke then
drove. with all possible speed, to the
place where VIM. Schilling had fallen
and found that he had recovered from
the shock and was about to start for
home. The two returned in the rig to
the residence of Frank Schilling and
DR.. Galley shortly after arrived and
made examination of the injured man.
The doctor extracted several shot
from one of Mr.. Schilling's arms and
found that two or three of the pellets
had penetrated his stomach. These
latter it was found impossible to re-
move
It is expected that the patient will
fully recover from the effects of the
accident.

GOPHERS WIN.
F1ercesand Furious Redmen Are Downed
by Score of IL to 6.

EIercseand Furious Redmen Are Downed
by Score of IL to 6.
Minnesota won from Carlisle on
Saturday by score of II to 6, and
even that does not tell the tale. The
Gophers walked all over the Indians
in the most spectacular game ever
seen on Northrop field. When the
whistle blew the Gophers had the ball
within ten inches of the Carlisle goal.
Three times the husky Minnesota
eleven pushed the Indians clear across
the field, only to lose the ball by a
tumble. But nevertheless it was a
glorious victory for Captain Stafford
and his men. They defeated a vet
eran eastern team, which is more than
any other western university has ever
accomplished.
The two defeats which Minnesota
sustained made things look bad for
her, but now she has made splendid
recovery. The Carlisle team came
resolved to give Minnesota a crushing
defeat. The Gophers we're determined
to make the fight of their football
lives, and they did it. Man for man,
they outplayed their opponents. It
was Drawn against Drawn and brain
against brain. The fierce line plung-
ing on both sides brought the spec
tators to their feet time after time.
No quarter was asked or given on
either side. It was a battle to the
finish. and fortune favored Minnesota.
In almost every scrimmage some
player would be more or less hurt.
It was terrific work, but it showed
what the Gophers could do. Play for
play, they outmatched the Indians.
In punts, in fake plays, in plunging,
in end runs and in forward passes
they were better than the red men.
Every variety of play possible under
the new rules seemed to have been
used and with telling effect. Carlisle
plays under no conference rules, and
every man on the team is veteran.
Her men play from year to year until
they graduate. Some of her men have
played six and seven years. They
are among the topnotchers in the east.

Make the Change Now.

Now is the time to make the change in
the plans of the bridge in the course
of erection south of the village. An
iron span can be added cheaper now
than at any time in the future. It
would be burning shame to have
two-thirds of the structure iron and
the other third of wood. If the bridge
is completed as planned it will not
reflect much credit on the builders or
on either the town or county board,
besides the probabilities are that the
first high water will carry off the
1imsy western end of it. At best the
west end would have to be rebuilt
within three or four years. There is
no economy in a makeshift bridge.

Magnus Sjoblom, August Jaenicke,
Chas. Murray, Adel Holms and Henry
Hullett (cook) returned from the
northern wilds on Tuesday morning.
Notwithstanding the fact that hunting
was poor in consequence of there
being no snow during the past week,
the boys brought home nine deer.
Some of the hunters had miraculous
escapes from death. according to their
own stories, a portion of which should
of course only be taken as truth. For
instance. there is the story told by
Magnus Sjoblom, who avows that he
was benighted a dozen miles from
camp and was compelled to build a
huge fire to protect himself from
wolves, panthers and other ferocious
beasts which came to make his
acquaintance. ''I shot ten wolves
during the night'' says he, ''from my

Adel Holm also reports a narrow
escape. According to his story he
was up tree looking over the country

Charley Murray's gun carried away
the spy glass and grazed one of Adel's
hands. Charley thought Adel's
whiskers were those of wildcat. IA

sagacity of one of the farmers in the
town of Silverton. This man, finding
no printed name on the ballot for
