A FAKE STORY,
tribune Correspondent Sees Things and
Fabricates a Yarn Therefrom.

tribune Correspondent Sees Things and
Fabricates Yarn Therefrom.
Monday nights Minneapolis
Tribune printed story to the effect
that Victor Osell of this village had
experienced SO much trouble from the
ravages of rats at his home that he
sought to get rid of them by catching
a number Of the rodents alive, pouring
kerosene and turpentine on them,
applying a match and then turning
them loose. The story further states
that several of the burning rats
sought relief from their pain by run
ming under the barn and sheds and
that the buildings were in consequence
set on fire and consumed. "He"
(Osell), says the Tribune, "came to
Minneapolis Saturday to arrange for
the purchase of building material for
new buildings and says he will make
no more experiments with fire and
rats.'
The Tribune's story is manufactured
out of whole cloth-there is not a
word OF truth in it. In the first place
MIR. Osell has no rats upon his
premises, and then again, even if he
had he is not such consummate ass
that he would resort to the means
alleged by the Tribune to exterminate
them. Neither was Mr.. Osell in Min
neapolis on Saturday. Whosoever
wrote the yarn is as big-if not big
ger-prevaricator than the late Eli
Perkins.

Princeton Versus Foley.

In spite of the very inclement
weather last Sunday the Princeton
team Travelled over to Foley and took
the latter club into camp by the score
of 8 to 8. Smith, who was on the
mound for Princeton, had speed to
burn and pitched fine game with the
exception of the eighth inning, when
the ball became dopey and hard to
control. Foley made five of it's ten
hits in this inning, one being triple,
and scored five runs. Lateral, who
'twirled for Foley, started out we'll but
the Princetons began to straighten
out bis benders and he had to retire
in favor of Kasner in the seventh
The game was characterized by some
fast work upon both sides. The score
by innings:
Princeton. @ 2 l 1-G
Foley.... ........ 0 l 2 2 I l 0 O-e
Batteries: Smith and Angstman,
Lateral, Kasner and Nutshell.

Flag Day.

General Orders Nos BY the rules
and regulations all members of the
Grand Army of the Republic are
directed to observe June Is as Flag
day. In 1908 June IA occurs on Sun
day. While I cannot conceive that
the display of the Stars and Stripes,
the emblem of that righteousness
which exalteth nation, could in any
way be regarded as desecration of
the Sabbath, still, out of Difference to
the opinion of those who may possibly
think otherwise, I request that CON-
rades observe Saturday, June IL.
by order of ~
Chas. A. Burton,
Commander in Chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic.

Lady Maccabees' Memorial Dav.

June is the national memorial
day OF the Lady Maccabees of the
World and it was duly observed by
the Princeton lodge of that order.
On Sunday the ladies proceeded to
the cemetery and decorated the graves
OF their departed sisters and those
OF the Sir knights with springs fair
est blossoms. The custom adopted
by members of this order of SET
ting apart one day in the year upon
which to pay tribute to their dead
sisters and brothers is a very pretty
one--one that should be more gen.
orally followed. ...

IN REGULAR SESSION
Council Decides to Adopt Two Ordi-
nances at Request of the Fire
Chief and Electrician.
Petition of e. K, EVenS and J.. l.. Lar.
son for the Construction of
Sidewalk is Granted.

At the regular meeting of the village
council on Thursday evening Messrs.
Woodcock, Stanley, Grant and Jones
were present and DR.. Armitage absent.
Chief Fredricks appeared before the
council and requested that an ex-
pander and expander rings be bought
for the fire department.. The request
was granted and such apparatus
ordered purchased.
Mr.. Fredricks also asked that an
ordinance be passed which shall
regulate the storage of dynamite and
other explosives, as much danger was
occasioned by not having such COM
bustibles stored in isolated places.
The request was acceded to and At
torney Mcmillan selected by the
council to draft such ordinance.
Electrician Dow made complaint
that in several instances water taps
and electric wires had been covered
before he was given an opportunity to
inspect and test same, and therefore
requested the council to pass an Or
dinance which shall in future prohibit
such practice-that is, prohibit per-
sons from covering water taps and
wires until same had been inspected
and tested. The council ordered that
Mr.. Mcmillan be engaged to draft an
ordinance to this effect.
A petition was read from J. L. Lar
son and E. K. Evens praying that a
cement sidewalk be laid on the west
side of Plymouth and Kenilworth
avenues, between Oak and First
streets. The petition was granted and
it was unanimously voted to have
notice of such order drafted and pub
lished, such notice to also include the
former petition of Charles Keith for a
sidewalk on the west side of Summit
avenue, between First and Second
streets.
With the exception of auditing a
number of bills the above constituted
the business of the session. ~~-- -

An Everyday Sort of a Man

Hon. j. F.. Jacobson is a plain,
everyday sort of man who will do
his full duty under any and all cir
cumstances. Moreover, be is we'll
informed man and thoroughly under
stands the business affairs of the
state. He is not an anarchist, as
some of his enemies would have YOU
believe; he is practical, level-headed
and conservative. He is absolutely
honest. If you want such man for
governor attend the republican pri-
maries and send men to the county
convention who will select delegates
to the republican state convention
favorable to Mr.. Jacobson.

THE PICKLE STATION
Construction of Building Under Way
on Site Purchased South of
q. N. Railroad Station.
Those Who Have Contracted to Plant
Cucumber Seed Should Lose
No Time in So Doing.

M. M. Stroeter has succeeded in
securing suitable site for his pickle
station and the building will be
erected with all possible speed. The
ground upon which the structure is
being built is a two-acre piece of land
about fifty feet south of the Rawn
potato warehouse, near the end of the
Great Northern Industrial track,
which Mr.. Stroeter has purchased
from F. @. Cater. It is a frst-class
location affording every facility for
shipment.
Mr.. Stroeter was surprised to learn
that some of the persons who con-
tracted to raise cucumbers had been
waiting to see the building started
before preparing their ground or OBJ
tanning their seed. AS it takes but a
short period to erect the required
building it was not necessary to begin
it's construction even this early. It
will be ready in ample time to receive
the crop.
So those who have not already
planted their cucumber seed would do
we'll to lose no time in doing So.
From June to 10 is the time for seed
ing, although if weather conditions
are unfavorable it might be accom-
plished a little later. But do not
delay unless absolutely necessary.
There is money in raising cucum-
bers-lots of money. This has been
demonstrated by the farmers living
tributary to Foley, Braham, Chaska
and scores of other towns. It is a
crop that can be handled largely by
the children and thus the profits are
greatly increased.
Mr.. Stroeter can be depended upon
to do as he agrees. He is a reputable
business man with a strong financial
backing and is interested with Mr..
Ringrose in picking stations through
out Minnesota.

Splendid Dairying Country.

The country tributary to Princeton
can scarcely be excelled for dairying
purposes and the farmers are not slow
to discover it. They are purchasing
more COWS and improving their herds
by the introduction of blooded stock
because they know it will pay them.
They are also increasing their shares
in the Princeton Cooperative cream
cry, an institution which cannot
prove otherwise than a successful
venture if the farmers stick together,
and that they will do so is demon
strated by the active interest they are
taking in the creamery.

Improving Onania.

The treasurer of the Onamia Com
mercial club received $3.50 from the
500 Townsite Co., as the amount of
premium paid on lots sold here at the
sale last summer. This money will be
used in clearing the stumps from the
streets that are cut out. If there is
any remaining, it is likely that it will
be used in clearing out Cedar street
to the lake. This will make a wonder

new YEOMEN LODGE
Degree Staff From Anoka Conducts
Inltlatory Work on Tuesday
at the G. O. O. F. Hall.
Thirty Candidates Ride Goat and Be.
come rlembers of Brotherhood
of American YeOmen.

Inc Anoka degree staff of the Broth
erhood OF American Yeomen arrived
here on Tuesday evening and insti-
tuted new lodge of the order at this
place. Mr.. Hubbard of Anoka and
District Manager Adair had been in
Princeton soliciting candidates for the
new lodge and succeeded in obtaining
about forty signers, but all of these
d1d not attend the initiatory cere-
monies. However, 30 were present,
and this is very good showing for a
start.
The degree work was exemplifed in
the Catholic Foresters' hall at the
opera house by a very proficient team
under the captaincy of Mrs. William
Cowden, and the ceremonies we're very
interesting. The Anoka degree staff
consisted of the following persons:
Mrs. VIM. Cowden, captain; Mrs.
Frank Reynolds, Mrs. Lottie Senear,
Mrs. G. L. Ferguson, Mrs. G. Tar
box, Mrs. Dora Hollis, Mrs. Edward
Hibbard, Mrs. Henry Gray. Mrs.
Howard Bradeen, Mrs. Willard
Bradeen; Messrs. George Rathbun,
Howard Bradeen, Willard Bradeen.
Charles Edgarton, Henry Gray,
Ralph Burns, Fred Campbell, H. A.
Harrington, Henry Bogart, Edward
Hibbard and George Green. DR..
0. 6. Winters of the supreme lodge,
State Manager J. II. Murphy and Dis
trict Manager Adair also took part in
the proceedings.
The Brotherhood of American
Yeomen is incorporated under the
insurance laws of Iowa and it's main
office is at Des Moines, where it owns
its own buildings, or castle, as it is
called. 1t issues combined life and
accident certificates to men and women
alike, thus making it possible for all
the members of a family who are of
sufficient age to belong to the same
lodge. The Yeomen's prospectus
SHOWS that on December 81, 1907, it
had membership of 1922, and that
it*aad paid out on policies up to 1908
81, 88l, 1881. At the rate the mem
bership of the order is increasing,
says its officers, it promises to eclipse
in the number of policyholders any
fraternal insurance lodge extant with
in a few years.
