to that place by VIM. Veal. Sid
borrowed a shotgun and several car
tridges at Tom Kaliher's barn and
proceeded to the slaughter. Arriving
at Chas. Kings barn be found little
lnotfensive looking dog tethered to a
stall. "You are as bad as the big
ones," muttered Sid to himself as he
touched off his blunderbuss. The dog
yelped and twisted, but it was a long
way from being dead. Sid gave it
TWO more shots and it seemed livelier
than ever. Surprised at his marks

reload when the dog broke loose and
scampered off. He later discovered
that the shot had been extracted from
the cartridges which he borrowed and
paper substituted. Twas a mean
trick to be sure, but Sid promises to
get even with the fellows who PLAYED it.

PRO-CATHEDRAL CORNER STONE.

Laid In Minneapolis on Sunday by Mgr.
Falconio Amid Impressive Ceremonies.
One of the most remarkable pageants
ever witnessed in the state was that in
connection with the laying of the
corner stone of the pro-cathedral
in Minneapolis on Sunday. Thirty
thousand men we're in line with banners
and symbolical floats. The march
ers represented every stage in life,
from the millionaire to the labc--::ng
man. The spectacle was grand and
impressive.
AT the laying of the corner stone of
the pro-cathedral at Hennepin avenue
and Sixteenth street at least 100000
were present to get a glimpse of the
ceremonials, which we're enacted with
solemn impressiveness.
Monsignor Diomede .Falconio, the
papal ablegate, assisted by Arch
bishop Ireland, performed the cere-
mony of consecrating the foundation
of the cathedral.
Mgr. Falconio, the oficiant, in
inter and crozier, sprinkled holy
water on the cross and about it, con-
secrating the spot upon which will
rise the main altar of the building.
Then, going to the corner stone, he
sprinkled it with holy water and
traced three crosses on each of it's six
faces with trowel. The copper box
containing the records was then de-
posted in the cavity and the big stone
lowered into position while the
apostolic delegate, with his right hand
on the stone, said: ''In the faith OF
Jesus Christ we place this cornerstone
within this foundation, in the name of
the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Ghost"

she believed to be right-her footsteps
were guided by the teachings of her
Savior. Lovable and beloved was
this amiable old lady who has been
summoned by her Maker to receive
her reward in heaven.

attractive musical program and so
able a choir.
The militia boys looked like real
warriors. They performed every
evolution with precision and demon

A natty appearance was presented
by the Princeton band boys-who
were attired in khaki regimentals- and
the music discoursed by them was ex-
>cellent for so young an organization.
The Citizens Staff did much to
Tighten the burdens of the old soldiers
by assisting wheresoever it was found
possible. Fifteen tickets for dinner
were distributed to veterans and their
wives from out of town by the staff.
Mr.. and Mrs. L. O. Merriman of
Minneapolis were the guests of Mr..
and Mrs. T. H. Galley from Friday
evening until Monday forenoon. Mr..
Merrlman was the orator at the
Memorial day exercises in the M. E.
church.
~ There were twenty-five old soldiers
in line, and though the march to the
cemetery was long one, the sound of
the flies and drums inspired them with
new life and they kept step in man

TRIBUTE TO HEROES
Memorial Day Befittingly Observed in
Princeton With Ceremonies in
Honor of Soldier Dead.
Services Held in II. e. Church. Where
Patriotic Address is Delivered
by L. o. rIerriman,

Notwithstanding the atmospheric
conditions were not as propitious as
they might have been there was a
large turn out in Princeton on Men,
orial day-the occasion was better
observed than it had been for several
years. Stores and other business
places we're closed in the afternoon
and the majority of the inhabitants of
the village attended services in honor
OF the departed soldiers. Many people
from the country surrounding also
observed the day in Princeton.
Memorial day is becoming year
after year day of more universal
patriotism-a day of more significance.
The public is taking deeper interest in
the nations day of mourning. Figur-
atively speaking, but handful of the
brave old veterans remain among US,
and even they are fast answering the
call from On high-they are joining
the ranks of their comrades who have
fought and bled and died for their
country. Not many years will roll
past ere the last of them will have
gone to his reward, but their memories
will be revered so long as the Ameri-
can continent exists.
The program printed in last weeks
Union was generally observed in
Princeton on Decoration day. The
old soldiers gathered at their post hall
and at l:30 p. m. fell into line, pre-
coded by R. E. jones' drum corps.
Company G, M. N. G.,-under the
command of Captain G. A. Galley,
marshal of the day,-preceded by the
Princeton brass band in khaki
uniform, formed into line at the
armory and marched to the post hall
at Thos. Fl. Caley's residence, where
they took the lead of the procession
which proceeded to the Methodist
church.
Very BETTING and impressive exer-
:lses was there presented which in
cluded patriotic selections by special
choir under the direction of Mrs.
G. A. Galley, addresses, prayer, etc.
L. O. Merriman of Minneapolis
was the orator of the day and, being
a veteran of the civil war, he knew
whereof he spoke. He took up
various phases of the war of the
rebellion and handled them with
ability, interspersing his talk with
"reminiscences of a very interesting
nature. Mr.. Merriman's address was
not of the type commonly known as
''spread eagle" oratory. 1t was a
quiet, transformations, sensible talk
which was highly appreciated by the
audience.
At the conclusion of the exercises
the procession again formed and
marched to the cemetery, where the
G. A. r. services were read from the
ritual and the graves of the sleeping
soldiers were decorated with flowers.
Upon the return of the procession to
the village Company G gave an ex-
,hibition drill in the court house
