Rapid breathing from running, followed by re-
covery or second breath" after time, is ex-
planned by DR.. Leonard Hill as due to exhaustion
of oxygen from the blood more rapidly than it
is absorbed. By inhaling oxygen a runner can
hold his breath much longer, and oxygen inhala-
ton is also a means of relieving the distress
from an exhausting run. This has suggested
that portable oxygen inhalers offer a new field
for enterprise.

As the earth crosses the orbits OF certain
comets, shooting stars appear, indicating that
streams of fragments are following in the wake
of the comets. Mr.. w. F. Denning, the British
astronomer, has lately suggested that meteors
radiating from the constellation Aquarius
during the first week in May are in the orbit of
the famous Halley's comet, the 75-year visitor
now being so eagerly awaited. and as these
meteors are visible nearly every year. the comet
dust must form an immense elIiptical ring reach
ing from near the sun to point beyond Nep-
tunes orbit. The stream being densest just be-
hind the comet, great shower may come near
the perihelion passage-probably in May, 1910.

Potato Warehouse Burns.

The Williams potato warehouse,
with its equipment and large
quantity of potatoes: was destroyed
by FIRE, the origin of which is un-
known, early Sunday morning.. An
alarm was turned in at.3:3O a. NJ, but
when the fire department arrived,
shortly afterward, there was DO pos
sibility of controlling the flames.
In the warehouse were stored about
1900 bushels of potatoes which, with
the exception of something like three
hundred bushels belonging to Peter
Wikeen, we're owned by S. ". Williams.
An insurance of So, 500 on the build
ing and $1,000 on the equipment was
carried in J. J. Skahen's agency,
while the potatoes were insured with
Guy Ewing for 81, 500.

"A BENEFIT PROGRAM
For St. Edwards Catholic Church is
Presented at Brands Opera

Hiss Frances Vincent, the Talented
Minneapolis Soprano, Sings
Number of Selections.

The musical and literary entertain
ment at the opera house on Tuesday
evening for the benefit of St. Edwards
Catholic church proved a rare treat
for the large audience which attended.
The singing of Miss Frances Vincent
of Minneapolis, talented soprano
soloist. was virtually the leading fea-
tures of the entertainment, although
every number on the program was
rendered in very fine manner.
r. Chas. Herbert Colson and Jack
Collins OF the Lyceum Comedy CON-
pany assisted at the entertainment
with song specialties which were we'll
received. The piano solos of Miss
Lola Scheen and DR.. Lester we're
finely executed, and the vocal solos of
Serenus Skahen, Hjordice Scheen and
Louise Lenertz are also worthy of
praise. The recitation of "Uncle
Hein1e'' was especially good and the
farce, "Flirtation Cured,' made a
very appropriate conclusion to the en-
terta inment.
The ladies of the Catholic church
who arranged the program are to be
congratulated upon the success
achieved. -
The proceeds amounted to s92. IS
and the management is well satisfied
with the result.

VALUATION OF TOWNS AND VILLAGES.
End of q Long.Drawn Contest.

1t is some fourteen years since
Robert G. Dunn and Jacob F.. Jacob
son began their fight to increase. the
gross earnings tax on railroads from
three to four per cent. The end OF
that contest, so far as this state in it's
lawmaking and judicial powers is
concerned, came last week in the de-
'cision of the supreme court.
In the, legislature the opposition
was based wholly upon the constitu-
isionality of the proposed change.
Many good lawyers held that the con-
stitutional provision for a three per
cent tax, formed a contract with the
railroads which the state could not
violate. The railroad representatives
in the legislature eagerly seized upon
this excuse and succeeded in fooling
some honest men. But few, if any,
pretended the increase was not Just.
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1908-12-31

The railroads themselves showed
how insincere was their plea for ex-
emption by accepting the increase save
as to two lines; that portion of the
Great Northern known as the St. Paul
& Pacific and the first line of the Great
Western, both constructed under ter
ritorial charter. These still claimed
the state had no power to thus alter a
charter granted by the territory in the
days before statehood.
The Ramsey county district court
held with them, but the supreme court
has reversed this and holds that the
state had the right to alter this terri
torial charter, just as it had to change
its own. There may be an appeal to
the federal supreme court, but proba-
bly, not. It is the better guess that this
ends this long drawn-out contest and
that once more the right is found to
be also the w.-NeWs-Tribune.

Worthy Versus Worthless Citizens,

A professor in the Andover Theo-
logical seminary once met man
going to the town meeting. Said the
professor: what are they going to
bring up at the meeting today,
Brown" Brown replied with a snarl:
II dunno what they're goin' to bring
up, but whatever it is, Pm goin' to
oppose it, The zeal of this particu-
lar citizen was of questionable ad-
vantage to his town. Some so-called
reformers have spirit unfortunately
similar.
An Irish teamster in a certain New
England town hires man to drive for
him whenever the license question is
put to vote. He takes the whole dav
off. He votes no license himself. He
gets as many others as he can to vote
the same way. A gentleman asked him
one day why he took so much trouble.
He answered.: me boy died of rum,
an l do what I can to keep other
folks boys from dying the same way"
| This ignorant teamster is citizen of
the highest type.
A gentleman Of high standing in the
same community boosted that he
never voted at local elections. he
said: "Why should go through the
farce of casting my ballot? This town
is run by lot of low and corrupt
politicians. My vote doesn't count.
I've no time for sentimental shams. -
| This scholarly gentleman is citizen
OF the lowest type. He is stupidity
selfish. We're he intelligently selfish,
he would protect his interests as a
citizen just as he protects his profess
sional interests.-Appleton's Maya

AN APPALLING CALAMITY.
Southern Part of Italy Laid Waste b.
Earthquake and Tidal Wave

Southern Part of Italy Laid Waste by
Earthquake and Tidal Wave
Southern Italy and the island of
Sicily was on Monday visited by an
appalling calamity the extent of which
cannot as yet be ascertained. An
earthquake wrecked city after city
and obliterated smaller towns and vii
lagos in great number. Then tidal
wave swept along the strait of Messina
and added to the horror, drowning the
people in their helplessness and panic.
Fire came to complete the work of de-
struction. Flames broke out in the
devastated cities. and countless num-
bers of wounded men. women and chill
dren we're burned to death.
Any adequate estimate of the total
casualties is as yet impossible to ar
rive at. but the Rome Tribuna places
the number at between l25, 900 and
10000. Mount Etna is showing con-
siderable activity, and the detona-
tions, which can be plainly heard in
Rome, together with the volume of
smoke rolling outsssof the crater, has
added to the panic Of the people. Ac-
cording to the director of the local
observatory, this activity is directly
connected with the earthquake but a
great eruption is not expected. Such
phenomena seldom accompany vio-
lent seismic disturbances.
The pope has been notified that the
entire religious communities of Mes
sina and Reggie, including bishops,
priests, monks and nuns, have been
wiped out by the earthquake and fire.
His holiness will inaugurate. the es-
Establishment of an International COM
mittee of Roman Catholics the world
over to assist the survivors of the
catastrophe and he heads the subscrip-
ton list with 5000, 900. It is under
stood that King Emanuel will give
$40, 600 for the relief of the VIC
Tins. The king and queen of Italy
have gone to the scene of the disaster.

the oil inspectors. the boiler inspect

will be doled out to those who are in
a position to do the democratic
machine some good. But they we're
not prepared to see the state univer-
