An EnaIish Ghost.

A Westmoreland ghost used to haunt the shores of Windermere, where the Lowthers from time immemorial have been lords of the lake-the "crler of Claife." One tempestuous night in prereformation times cry was heard across the water by the ferry man at the Nab inn-"A boat" The ferryman. against all his croaies' per suasions at the inn, set out. After many hours he reached the Nab again. his boat dragged down by some un- seen weight and himself with hair on end. raving lunatic. Soon he died. and every stormy night his wrath was heard in agoniZed shrieks across from Claife till at last the resident monk of Furness was sought in his retreat op Lady Holm and persuaded to Hay" the unhappy spirit. which he duly did Harriet Martineau and others tell the tale.-London Chronicle.

Signaling at Sea.

The custom of signaling at sea by means of various colored flags is very ancient, and the method seems to have been brought to degree of develop ment bordering very closely on perfee- ton. Many people have been astonish' ed at the length of messages conveyed in few moments and with the use of but half dozen flags in various com binations, and when the extent of the language and the complexity of many necessary messages are considered the eighteen flags in the signal flag locker seem very inadequate. However. It must be remembered that the signal code utilizes a sort of shorthand, and many long messages, known to be of frequent occurrence, have been con, tracted to a single showing of flags in a given combina ton. The number of flags hoisted when a signal is made never exceeds four. With the eighteen flags of various colors, using four for each signal, no fewer thap 7S,6i2 con- binations can be made.

-Carelessness on the part of three
men is held responsible by officials of
the Milwaukee road for the wreck.
The railroad officials declare that re-
ports they have received indicate that
if any one of three employees had done
his duty the tragedy would have been
averted. The men they hold respon-
sible are not the operators of the
trains-they are the signal operators
at Junction switch and Odessa and
the aagman on the Columbian, the
coast train which was struck from be-
hind by the silk train. All of these
men, say the officials, on reports SO
far received, are guilty of negligence.

Unlawful DISPOSAL of Iiuuor.

Harry Wheeler, 10 years of age, and
Floyd Erickson, II, we're brought be-
fore Justice Norton last Thursday
and charged with unlawfully dispos-
ing of one pint of liquor to Lynn
Whittemore, whose name was on the
saloons black list. Wheeler waived
examination and was bound over to
the grand jury in bonds of $500, while
Erickson pleaded guilty. Erickson,
accompanied by Sheriff Shockley,
County Attorney Ross and Clerk OF
Court King, was taken to St. Cloud
on Friday, where Judge Taylor sen.
fenced him to 20 days in jail and to
pay a fine of $50, or, in default OF
paying such fine, to serve IS days.
It appears from the evidence that
Whittemore gave Erickson money to
obtain the whiskey, that Erickson
turned the money over to Wheeler,
who procured the liquor, passed it to
Erickson, and that the latter delivered
it to Whittemore.

Indian Conspiracy Cases Dismissed

Judge Morris directed q verdict of
not guilty in the cases for conspiracy
against Gus II. Beaulieu, BENJAMIN
L. Fairbanks, Robert G. Beaulieu
and John Leechy, which were tried in
the United States court at Fergus
Falls. The four men were accused of
having induced full-blood Indians to
represent themselves as mixed breeds
SO they could secure Indian lands. =
AS the case developed it became
more and more apparent that the gov
eminent was making little Roadway.
The Witnesses, all Of whom had made
afidavits to the effect that they were
mixed-bloods when obtaining title to
the lands, had no hesitancy in going
ON the stand and swearing they were
full-bloods now. Very few of them
asserted the defendants induced them
to make the original afidavits.
Judge Morris, in directing a verdict
for the defendants, declared there
was no evidence to sustain the charge

A Visitors Opinion of Princeton

j. W. Hooper of Libby, Montana,
arrived here on Saturday to visit old
time friends and left on Tuesday for
Anoka to pass Christmas with rela-
tives. Mr.. Hooper left Princeton IS
years ago for the west and has done
we'll there. "Princeton," he says,
sis the liveliest and best business
town of its size have ever seen, and
I am glad of it, but it has one great
drawback-its hotel facilities. It
needs big modern hotel in order to
line up with its other features of
progress. Now, have made observa-
lions of the volume of business in
Anoka, and in comparing it with that
of Princeton I should estimate that
your village does at least three times
the amount done there. I am cer-
tainly in love with my old place of
abode-PrincetOn.'' :, ~:

Don't Forget Your Horse at Christmas

For holiday presents for horses 60
to William Neely's harness shop.
He has everything to please you:
Single and double harness, bells,
robes and whips. But the faithful
horse has, Of course, no use for a
whip-he detests it-and consequently
does not expect his friend, Santa
Claus, to bring him one. Buy your
horse something that he can COM
fortably work in and something to
keep him warm, and he will show his
gratitude when you tell him it is a
present you bought from William
Neely's harness shop for his especial
benefit. Nicely keeps the best of
everything for horses and the prices
are right. Call and examine the big
stock before buying elsewhere.

For the Upbuildine Of the County.

For the Upbulldine Of the County
The U i o is in receipt of several
letters from W. r. Mckenzie, secre-
tary of the Northern Minnesota De-
velopment association, relative to ad-
vertising the resources of Mile Laos
county and setting forth it's ad-
vantages for home-seekers. The pub
Usher of the U Mon, at considerable
expense to himself, has attended
several meetings of the association
and endeavored to represent Mile
Laos county to the best of his ability.
But one can not do it all. The
burden must be shared by others.
It does seem as if the real estate
dealers in Princeton, Milaca, Onania
and WahkOn should take an interest
in these matters. They are vitality in
terested. We would like to hear from
them, and all others who are inter-
ested in the upbuilding of Mile Laos
county. The northern end of the
county should be especially inter-
ested.
The following letter is one of several
received from Mr.. Mckenzie and is
self-explanatory:
"We have just made a lease for a
store building at 80 South Third
street, Minneapolis, and are ready
to receive exhibits of grasses, grains
and vegetables from your county.
"We propose to distribute advertis-
ing matter for your county to what
ever extent you wish to send it. We
would also like you to send US map
of your county made up in such way
so that it would serve as soil sur
vey map. We presume you could
have this arranged without much
trouble. We want about a quart of
threshed grains, of each kind, as we
intend to put these up in attractive
uniform sized bottles. It is also our
intention to keep on file the current
copies of the newspapers of your
county and in every way encourage
the people of your county to make
our exhibit room their headquarters
while in the city.
1.-The funds for carrying on the
work we're proportional among the
counties at the St. Cloud meeting as
follows: For each delegate to which

Of your county the amount would be
S75, of which, however, 500 has al
ready been received from the follow
ing: First National Bank of Prince
ton, $40, and the First National Bank
of Milaca, $40. I trust that you can
collect the balance of this amount and
mail it to Mr.. A. G. Wedge, jr.,
treasurer, Bemidji, before the first of
the year. This fund is to be dis
tributed under the direction of the i'm
migration committee and audited
