PECULIAR ACCIDENT I
Aug. Albrecfit Has Fish Spear Thrust
Through Hand While Assisting
in Cleaning Chimney.
Barb Had to be Filed Off Before He
Could Be Released from His
Queer Predicament.

An accident of a peculiar and pain
full nature happened to Aug. Albrecht
on Thursday last. It appears that he
and William Schmidt were engaged in
cleaning a chimney-the latter being
on top of the chimney and the former
removing the SCOT from below. The
implement utilized for scraping the
SCOT from the sides of the chimney
was a fish spear and one of its tines
penetrated Albrecht's left hand, going
clear through it. He was thus trans
fixed, for he could not withdraw his
hand neither could Schmidt-on the
chimney top withdraw the spear.
Schmidt rushed down from the roof
to the rescue and it was found that
there was only one way of liberating
Albrecht-by filing off the barb.
This was accomplished with all pos
sible speed and the barb withdrawn.
A very painful wound is the result but
Albrecht will recover.

Judge ID. Il. Searle Dead.

After an illness extending over a
period of three years Hon. D. 3.
Searle passed from earth at his home
in st. Cloud last Sunday evening.
The commencement of his illness dates
from the 10Th of May, l906;-he had
gone to Long Prairie to deliver a
Memorial day address and was
stricken with paralysis. After time
he recovered the use of his speech and
his health was partially restored, but
he required constant care and nursing:
about three weeks ago he suffered a
second stroke of paralysis and he kept
growing worse gradually until the
end came.
Judge Searle came of good old
stock and was native of Franklin
Vile, N. Y, where he was born June
| 4, 1916. While mere boy, in August,
1861, he enlisted in New York regi-
ment and participated in several OF
the hardest fought battles of the war;
in 1863 he was discharged on account
of disability. He studied at the
Columbia law college, Washington,
D. c., and graduated in 1868. In 1871
he located in St. Cloud and formed
a law partnership with E. Q. Hamlin.
He served as county attorney OF
Stearns county for two years and for
six years as city attorney of St.
Cloud. He was United States district
attorney for Minnesota from 1882 to
1885. He was appointed district
judge Of the Seventh judicial district
in 1887, was elected in 1883, and re-
elected in 1894 and 1900 without oppo.
sition. In 1892 he was the republican
candidate for congress in the old
Sixth district but was defeated by a
narrow margin by Major Baldwin,
his democratic opponent.
Judge Searle was always an ardent
republican and was ever true to his
party convictions, but be was not an
offensive partisan and numbered his
friends among members of all politi-
cal parties. AS practitioner before
the bar and as a judge he stood high
in the estimation of lawyers.
Judge Searle was of a kindly,
genial disposition and had the faculty
of making friends and retaining their
friendship, and he was intensely loyal
to his friends and would go to any
length to serve them.
In no county of the Seventh judicial
district was Judge Searle more
popular than in Mile Laos, where he
was personally known to all the old
settlers, each of whom regarded him
as personal friend.

Fred Hass Defeats 1:,arl

"A number of Princeton sports, in.
Guiding the doughty Harry Shockley,
went to Milaca on Monday night to
witness the wrestling match between
Fred Hass Of Princeton and Bill
Clark OF Milwaukee. It was a handi-
cap match in which Clark agreed to
throw Hass twice in an hour. The
contest resulted in Clark's defeat; as
ne only succeeded in putting Hass
shoulders to the mat once in the time
stipulated. Hass threw Clark once
and, from all appearances, he could
have repeated the feat if he felt so
inclined. At any rate Hass won.

Entertainment of Pleasing Nature is
Given by Choir Under Direc-
tion of Hrs. c. A. Galley.
Vocal and Instrumental r1usic of High
Class Rendered by the Partici.
pants in the Program.

The entertainment given by the
choir of the Methodist church on Fri
day evening was one of the most
pleasing events Of its kind that the
people of Princeton have ever had an
opportunity of attending. 1t con.
sisted of vocal and instrumental
music interspersed with Rotations.
The chorus itself, a splendidly
trained organization of forty voices
under the direction of Mrs. G. A.
Galley, was we'll worth the price of
admission to listen to-every member
was perfect in his or her part. A
vocal duet by Mrs. G. A. Galley and
Chas. Kopp was one of the prettiest
renditions of the evening, Mrs. Galley
appearing at her best and demonstrate
ing a remarkable range of voice.
Misses Lundquist, Dickinson and
Switzer rendered vocal trio in ex-
cellent manner and Miss Lundquist a
vocal solo. Chas. Kopp gave a
pleasing vocal solo and a quartet
consisting of Messrs. Kopp, Lester,
Radeke and Ewing rendered some
good music.
Among the instrumental pieces a
violin solo was executed by Miss
A Smith, piano duet by Misses Addie
Lundquist and Aimee Woodcock and
a piano solo by Miss Addie Lund.
.quist, all of which we're received with
much applause. An orchestral selec.
ton by Miss Norma Van Alstein,
Herbert Anderson and Adon Whitney
piano, violin and cornet-was a
pleasing and talented production.
We must not overlook the "Wish
bone Song" by ten little tots, for this
was admirably sung-in fact it wa!
one of the best numbers on the pro
gram. Then there we're the recita
lions by Madge Whitney, Beth Bulls
Alta Reichard, Vivian Starff ant
Eva Ross-all excellent renditions.
Mrs. Ewing and Addie Lundquis
we're the accompanies.

How to Increase Yield of Soil.

James j. Hill, in speech at the
national corn exposition in Omaha on
Thursday of last week, told the
farmers how to raise larger crops and
avert a food shortage. It was a CON-
mon sense speech throughout and
among the salient points in his advice
were the following:
Cultivate only as much land as can
be titled so thoroughly that it will
produce to it's highest capacity.
Study first the conservation of the
soil. Aim, even before trying to Sc
cure big crop return, to leave the
ground each season better fitted for
production than it was before. This
can be done by a proper rotation OF
crops, by fertilization where land has
been partially exhausted, and, best of
all, by keeping some livestock on
every tract, no matter how small, and
restoring every particle of manure to
the soil.
Adapt both the crop to DO raised
and the method of cultivation to the
nature of the soil. This is Just as
important as it is that a corporation
should not try to make high-grade
steel out OF ores containing an excess
Of phosphorus. An agricultural
chemist can give directions and
should always be consulted. There is
at least one in every state whose
services are at the command of the
people through the agricultural
schools. A sick soil may present as
critical case as a sick man.
Select all seed with the utmost care.
The difference between using the best
quality of grain for seed and planting
an inferior sort may be, and usually
is, the difference between getting a
frst-class yield and one barely worth
harvesting. In farming, the law of
heredity is inAexible Cattle for
breeding and grain for planting
should be chosen as intelligently as an
investment into which mans whole
fortune is put.
Finally, every crop must be treated
like what it is "a living thing, sensi-
tive to comfort and to hardship, and
returning to the cultivator a yield
measured by the kind and quantity of
care bestowed upon it from the time
of planting to the day of harvesting.
Fifty-Nine Lose Lives.
The terrific storm which passed over
Lake Erie on Wednesday night and
Thursday of last week reaped deadly
harvest and destroyed over 81 1000, 900
worth of vessel property. Late re-
ports show that ffty-nine lives were
lost, that twenty sailors we're rescued,
that four vessels were destroyed and
that one is aground heavily

A Belated Consignment of Crushed Rock
Another car load of fine crushed
rock was received for the Baldwin
flats road last week. The rock was
unloaded by Supervisor Angstman
Monday and will be utilized in the
spring as topdressing for the coarse
rock already spread upon the road.
This last car of rock has been delayed
on account of the strike for more
than two weeks. When this last con-
signment of fine stuff is applied to tie
road next spring the entire stretch that
has been covered with the coarse rock
will be completed and a compact,
smooth, hard roadway will be the
result. AS remarked on previous
occasions in these columns de-
termined effort will be made next
spring to secure enough of the crushed
rock to cover the entire stretch of
heretofore, at times, almost i'm
passable highway.
