largely of a choral nature were held
in the Methodist and Congregational
.churches on Sunday and the pro-
grams we're especially beftting and

church by Mrs. b. G. Cooney.
A program of songs, recitations
and special musical numbers was
presented at the Methodist church on
Christmas eve by the Sunday school
children, and this was followed by q
distribution of gifts by Santa Claus.
At the Congregational church the
customary children's entertainment

high order, the solo parts being

Miss Wold's Work Appreciated.

Miss Kathryn Void, the popular
teacher in district 26, closed her
school on Friday for the holidays
with an attractive Christmas tree
program. The school house was
filled to it's doors with parents who
enjoyed the recitations and songs of
their children and the clever work of
Santa Claus in giving out the presents
to every pupil. Miss Void has done
such good work in bringing the school
to higher standard that the board
and patrons of the school expressed
their appreciation by making her a
Christmas present of $40.
Charles Nelson, clerk of the dis
trict, brought in the list of those who
contributed toward the present and it
contains the names of all the patrons

At the residence of her mother,
Mrs. Elizabeth Sadley, in this village
on Christmas day at high noon, Miss
Grace Sadley was united in marriage
to John L. Wetsel of Greenbush. It
was a quiet home wedding at which
Rev. Fisher of the Congregational
church officiated and was attended
only by relatives and a few intimate
friends. The witnesses to the cere-
mony we're Fred Keith and his
mother, Mrs. Eva Keith. The bride
was married in her travelling dress.
Potted plants and ferns tastefully
arranged in the parlor and dining
room, produced a very pleasing color
effect. Many pretty gifts we're re-
ceived by the young people.
Following a bounteous Christmas
dinner Mr.. and Mrs. Wetsel drove to
Elk River, where they took a train
for Minneapolis. They will visit
Rochester and other points and will
then be at home in Greenbush, where
the groom owns and cultivates a
farm.
The bride is one of our most sue
scessful teachers who for four years
has presided over a school in Green
bush, and she is popular young
lady who has the we'll wishes of a
large circle of friends. Mr.. Wetsel,
her husband, is prosperous Green
bush farmer and is highly spoken OF
by the people of that town.

taken seriously i'll. DR.. Cooney was
then called, who pronounced the case
hopeless one, and a day or so later
DR.. Jones of Minneapolis, a specialist
in mental diseases, was summoned
and he diagnosed the disease exactly
as did DR.. Cooney. On December 7
Mr.. Rutherford was conveyed to
Molan's sanitarium, where he gradu-
ally grew weaker as the disease ad-
vanced and died. The remains we're
broughtto Princeton, accompanied by
Vim. COrdinor and L. E. Fox, on Mon
day evening and were met at the depot
by delegation of Freemasons and
conveyed to the family residence.
The funeral services we're held at
the Congregational church yesterday
afternoon at O'Clock and SO largely
were they attended that many people
were unable to gain access to the
ediice. Rev. J. O. Fisher delivered
an excellent sermon imbued with
pathos in which he eulogized the en-
terprising, public-spirited citizen who
had passed away-he paid deserved
tribute to his worth. Soul-inspiring
musical selections were rendered by a
quintet consisting of B. P. Taylor,
Mrs. b. G. Cooney, Mrs. B. P.
Taylor and Grover and Charles
Umbehocker, and Mrs. Taylor, by
request, sang a vocal solo, "Face to
Face" Mrs. Benz. Soule accom-
panied the vocalists on the organ.
Beautiful, indeed, was the profusion
of floral tributes-there we're magnif-
cent emblematic designs from the
various fraternal orders of which Mr..
Rutherford was member and numer-
Gus wreaths and bouquets from his
relatives and friends.
All business houses were closed as
a mark of respect to the good fellow
citizen who had passed away and the
remains we're followed to their last
resting place by long procession.
The Masons, who had charge of the
funeral arrangements; the Odd Fell
lows and the Knights of Pythias
attended the obsequies, and at the
grave the impressive funeral service
of the Masons was conducted by
William Cordiner, Past Master.
The pallbearers were brother
Masons of the deceased and consisted
Of VIM. 0ordiner, E. L. Mcmillan, c..
A. Jack, L. E. Fox, M. M. Stroeter
and w. 81. Terrell.
There was large delegation in

Milton Seth Rutherford was born
on farm at Langsville, Ohio, on
November l6, 1862. There he lived,
becoming Injured to hard work, until
1880, when he was seized with the So
called western fever and emigrated to
Kansas. There he engaged in farm
ing and stock raising until 1887, when
he turned his attention to the impor-
tatiOn of thoroughbred horses and
continued in that business two years.
In 1889 he came to Princeton and en-
gagged in the real estate, loan and
insurance business, which he success
fully conducted and expanded. When
he left home Mr.. Rutherford did not
own dollar, but by his excellent
judgment. push and high reputation
for integrity he forged to the front
rank of northern Minnesota's SUBJ
stantial business men. He thoroughly
understood the science of advertising
and this proved a great aid in all his
enterprises. He did more to advertise
the advantages of Mile Laos, Isanti,
Sherburne, Kanabec, Anoka, Benton
and Morrison counties than all other
agencies and individuals combined,
and the people of these sections owe
him debt of gratitude which can
never be paid. Mr.. Rutherford was
a staunch advocate of good roads.
He was president of the Minnesota
Roadmakers' association a couple of
years ago. He always manifested an
intense interest in the lettering of the
public highways It was largely
through the efforts of Mr.. Ruther-
ford that the state experimental
road was established south of
town. He was president of
the M. S. Rutherford Land company
of Princeton, of the Princeton Com
mercial club and of the Merchants
State bank of Milaca, and was large
ly interested in real estate and mining
enterprises in this part of the country
and in southern Washington. Mr..
Rutherford was a thirty-second de-
gree Mason, a Shriner, and member
of the Odd Fellows, Knights of
Pythias and K. o. T. M. lodges. On
December rs, 1890, he was married to
Miss Carrie J. Newbert, who, with
one daughter, Mildred, aged Is years,
survives him. He also leaves three
brothers and three sisters, viz,
Robert Rutherford, Missoula, Mont;
NJ. o. Rutherford, Mora; Matthew
Rutherford, West Virginia: Mrs.
Matilda Belzer, Emmett, CAL; Mrs.
Emma Stansbury, Hollywood, Cal;
Mrs. Euretta Foskett, Los Angeles,
Cal.
M. s. Rutherford was one of Prince
toms most philosophical men-he
had the interest of the village always
at heart and put forth his utmost
endeavors to advance it's progress.
He possessed kindly, charitable
nature and was at all times ready to
lend a helping hand to those in ad-
versity. 1t is to be regretted that the
angel of death saw fit to remove him
from earth for he was man whose
aim was to accomplish good.

Fred Hass Shows Superior Science.
Tom Russell, the middleweight
champion wrestler of the northwest,
and Fred Hass of Princeton came to-
gether for a contest on the mat at the
armory last Friday night and the man
possessed of the greatest skill of
course won. That man was Fred
Hass, who is coming to the front so
rapidly that be bids fair to ere, long
become champion in his class. The
tussle on Friday between these two
men of science-Russel and Hass-
was strenuous one but Hass downed
his man neat and clean in the first
bout in 81 minutes by an arm and
leg hold and won the second fall in 7
minutes 10 seconds with double bar
hold. This puts another feather in
Fred's cap, for Russell is considered
one of the invincibles of the pro-
rfession, and; furthermore, he has re-
fused to engage in another encounter
with Hass. Hass is now in Prince
ton devoting his time to training and
he will be heard from again later.

wish he might stay for another year.

of r. G. Dunn, who lucidly explained
what, in his opinion, was necessary
to insure good roads throughout the
state, and gave an outline of bill
which will be introduced at the coming
session of the legislature with this
view in sight. The commissioners
we're much pleased with the proceed

tion as they sought. The poor farm
consists of 800 acres, 80 acres 81
which is under the pillow and the res
mainder is in meadow and p1sturessSs
There is a substantial dwelling houses
/ the ground floor of which Is occupied
by the superintendent and second
story by the wards of the county.
The building of another house for the,
latter is however contemplated. There
is a big barn, granary, machine
sheds and all other outbuildings
necessary on modern farm. In live
stock the farm has 20 COWS, about 10
horses and lot of hogs and chickens.
There are eight paupers-men and
women-domiciled there and they
appear to be we'll satisfied. The farm
is kept under good cultivation, every
thing is neat and clean, and last year
it was self sustaining. The COM
missioners, whose purpose in visiting
the farm was to obtain information
on the method of conducting such an
institution with view of eventually
caring for the paupers of Mile Laos
county in like manner, we're favorably
impressed with the idea They stated
that they would be perfectly satisfied
if Mile Laos county had poor farm
of half the acreage. If Anoka county
can operate poor farm which is self
sustaining there is no apparent reason
why Mile Laos county cannot do the
same. 1t would save the taxpayers a
large sum annually.

Poets Tribute TO Wallace

Even as his sculptured counterpart
Shall here endure through datele
time,
Heroic and sublime
A kinsman of us ALL and yet
A Prince of high and heavenl
strain,
The worlds love as his coronet
Through an endless reign.
Aye, still he lives where harvests hur
ours;
Or at the sudden whirring drum,
When battle tempests lowers
He lives and moves, through war
alarm
A sensate spirit, leading still
His legions with a waving arm
And an unwavering will.
What heights of inspiration he
Awakens in each patriot brave,
Who follows him to victory,
Above the very grave
Who meets and smites the impious foe,
That strikes the banner we so love,
1t shields our every home below
Or hope of home above
Shall ever. in the coming years,
The spirit of the soldier fail
TO fire mems lips with answering
cheers.
And prayers while arms prevail?
And shall not art forever shrine
Him living in her record thus
And history in glowing line,
Prolong his life for us.
Nay. death, thou mightiest of all
Dread conquerors. thou dreadest
chief
Thy heavy hand can here but fall
Light as the autumn leaf:
AS vainiy, too. it's weight is laid
Upon the warriors knightly sword
Still through the charge and cannon
1t flashes for the Lord.
In forum-as in battle field
His voice rang for the truth-and
right
Keyed with the shibboleth that pealed
His soul forth to the fight:
| The inspiration of his pen
! Glowed as a star and lit anew
The faces and the hearts of men.
Watching the long night through.
A destiny ordained-divine

His rise since youth marked the line
