His Suffering Ends.

Bryan Gennow, aged IA years, son
of Mrs. Catherine Gennow of Green
bush, died on Monday night at
O'Clock from the effects of shot from
q 22-caliber rifle which he received
accidentally over year ago. The
boy had been great sufferer and
his mother spared no expense in pro-
curing the best advice possible in an
endeavor to save his life, but he
gradually grew worse and became
weaker and weaker until the end came.
Funeral services were conducted
yesterday afternoon by Rev. I. N.
Goodell from the Greenbush Metho-
dist church, quartet consisting of
Mrs. G. A. Galley, Mrs. Briggs, Guy
Ewing and Claude Briggs rendering
vocal selections at the obsequies.
Miss Verna Townsend was the
organist.
The boy is survived by his mother,
Mrs. Catherine Gennow, stepfather;
two brothers, Mckinley and Orvid,
and three sisters, Mabel, Irene and
an infant sister.

An Appeal for Funds.

Following the sermon at the Metho-
dist church on Sunday morning Rev.
Goodell called the attention of the
congregation to the fact that a
mortgage of $500 still remained un-
paid on the building and appealed for
funds to liquidate the. incumbrance.
As result $500 was promised-s10O
by the Ladies '.5Aid%soeiety-aaa-!s20O
by members OF the congregation. The
Ladies' Aid society is very anxious
that this mortgage shall be con-
signed to the stove, and it's members
have certainly done their share
towards bringing about the desired
end. 1t is sincerely hoped that sufi-
Gent funds will be forthcoming within
a short time to clear the church of all
Indebtedness. ::

Still q Trif1e Stiff,

Henry Newbert is still triAe stiff
in that portion of his physical struc-
ture where his waist ought to be. He
says it takes tremendous impact to
make man of his weight glance into

Observation-Disclosures collision
accomplished that very thing. "Tom
Galley saw the collision coming," says
Henry, land hung onto the sides like
grim death. Hence he merely suffered
a slight injury to his knee. Had he
been dumped into the ditch like I was
he would not have lived to tell the
tale-his remains would have been
gathered up in fragments. There

LEND A HAND NOW
Splendid Work Being Done on the
Germany Road-More Volun-
teer Labor Needed Now.
1t is Hoped Twenty Teams, PROPERLY
Manned, Will Be on the Job
Saturday and Monday.

Under the personal supervision of
Mr.. W. T. Kerr splendid work is be-
ing done on the Germany road. The
long sandy hill, which commences at
the village limits, will no longer be
terror to teamsters and Automobiles
1T has been rendered as hard and
solid as a macadamized road. All
that is needed now to complete work
on the hill is a trimming of clay
along the edges to keep the rock in
place. With very little care this hill
road will remain in excellent condi-
ton for many years. The hill was
the hardest part of the road to repair,
and from now on the work will pro-
gress more rapidly.
Supervisor Schmidt manages to
keep eight or ten teams hauling rock
besides manning the big road-roller
and keeping a grading crew at work
Mr.. Schmidt is deserving of credit for
the energy he displays in pushing
things.
Neither the town or village had a
road roller. Mr.. Kerr said he could
not do a good job without roller.
While walking around town he espied
an old boiler lying in the Swedish
Lutheran church yard. Rev. Lund-
quist told Mr.. Kerr he could have it.
Mr.. Kerr had the old boiler filed with
rock and cement and a frame made
for it. Result: a good serviceable
5000 pound roller. at a trifing ex-
pense. The roller does as good work
as one that would cost several hun
dred dollars. If Mr.. Kerr can't get
the proper machinery for road build
ing he manufactures it. No wonder
the highway commission considers
him valuable man.
AS remarked last week it is not to
be expected that the town of Princeton
can stand all the expense of improv-
ing this road. The people directly
Interested must lend hand. Several
business men of the village have al
ready furnis shed teams for days
hauling. But there must be more VOL
unteer work. Every business man in
the village should help and the farm
ers who haul their produce over that
road should come to the front. There
should be no holding back. Let each
one do his share. Don't talk about
it. Do it now. At least 20 teams are
wanted for Saturday and Monday.
The men and teams should be forth
coming. Turn out, Saturday and
Monday.

Death of Mrs. Joseph Brueckner.

Mrs. Joseph Brueckner of Green
lake, Wyanett township, died at the
Northwestern hospital on Sunday
evening from inflammation of the
bowels. She had been suffering
from an internal tumor for some time
and on Tuesday of last week DR..
Cooney advised an immediate re.
moval to the hospital. She was not,
however, brought to that institution
until Sunday morning. and then il
was too late to save her life. She was
46 years of age.
The body was embalmed by Under.
taker George Ross and, accompanied
by Mr.. Brueckner and George Bielke,
was taken to st. Paul on Monday
morning for interment. The funeral
was held yesterday afternoon from the
home of her daughter, Mrs. G. b.
Miller, and the burial was in the
German Lutheran cemetery.
Mrs. Brueckner was born in Ger.
many and came to the United States
when a mere girl. She was twice
married, her second husband being
Joseph Brueckner, who survives her.
She also leaves a son, George Bielke
OF Wyanett, and three daughters, Mrs.
Chas. 81. Miller, St. Paul; Mrs.
Theodore Grain, Minneapolis; and
Elsie Brueckner, Wyanett.
Mrs. Brueckner had lived at Green
lake about two years, and during that
time she had endeared herself to her
neighbors and all who came in con.
tact with her. She was true chris.
tjan, possessed a kindly disposition,
and the many friends which she made
during her residence in Wyanett will
long revere her memory.

DECISION REVERSED
Attorney General Holds that Village
Council Must Care for All the
Village Indebtedness.
He Also Intimated that Council Could
Grant Franchise to an Outside :
Company to Erect Plant.

AS expected, the attorney gener al
has practically reversed the decision
Of one of his subordinates in answer
to a series of questions propounded to
him by Mr.. Charles A. Dickey with
reference to the powers and duties of
the village council and the light and
water commission of this village.
The attorney general practically
holds that, regardless of the receipts
OF the water and light plant the vii
lage council must provide means for
the payment of all floating and
bonded Indebtedness and all warrants
legitimately issued by the commission.
This was the real question at issue.
The attorney general also intimated
that be would hold that the village
council could grant franchise to an
outside company to establish and
maintain an electric plant in opposi-
ton to the municipal-owned plant.
We doubt whether the supreme court
would sustain that part of the de-
cision if the question should ever be
submitted to that tribunal.
The attorney general also intimated
that the best thing the village could
do would be to negotiate loan from
the state at four per cent and fund it's
floating Indebtedness. There would
be no objection to that provided the
village would keep out of debt and not
impose any further direct taxes-the
state would see to the interest and
principal on state loans. The
Union will give the decision in full
in it's next issue.
The hearing was held before At
torney General Simpson and all of
his deputies save one. There was
present from this village the entire
village council, the water and light
commission, DR.. T. L. Armitage, G.
A. Eaton, Charles A. Dickey, e. L.
Mcmillan and Chas. Keith. Ex-At-
torney General Young appeared as
counsel for the village council.

many of them have requested the
q Mon to make this suggestion.
Doubtless some gravel can be OBJ.
tanned from the bed of the river, but
the top-dressing should be of clay
gravel. Clay gravel can be obtained
in the east end of Princeton township
and good loads can be hauled when
the work on the Germany road is
completed.
Another stretch of road within the
village limits that demands immediate
attention Is the one leading to the
cemetery-the road and streets from
the northwest corner of Oak Knoll
cemetery to the depot. This is next
in Importance to the Germany road.
Greenbush, Milo and Glendorado
farmers travel this road to get to
town.
The street leading north from the
West Branch bridge to the village
limits should be given a coating of
straw at least later on when straw can
be had; in the meantime that part of
the street from the Millett corner to
the bridge could be improved with
coal ashes, gravel or even clay-the
latter ingredient properly mixed with
the sand.
Still another piece of road that
should not be overlooked is the one
leading southeast to Baldwin and
Spencer Brook. A couple of hun
dred dollars, properly expended, would
work wondrous change on this
piece of important highway.
If 5000 could be judiciously ex-
pended on each of the four avenues Of
trade above mentioned great good
would result to the village. Princeton
is a farmers town; it is dependent
upon the farmers for it's prosperity.
Let US give the farmers decent roads
within the village limits over which to
haul their produce to market and to
come here to do their trading.

MEMORIAL SERVICES
Betting Exercises Will Be Held in
Honor of Dead Heroes at Fair
Grounds Next Tuesday.
Rev. j. L. O'COnnOr Will Deliver Tie.
~ mortal Sermon at St. Edwards
Church Sunday Morning.

Men, women and children of this
great nation, and Americans living
across the seas, will on Tuesday next
pay tribute to their soldier dead-they
will honor the memory of the heroes
who responded to Abraham Lincoln s
call when the bulwarks of the country
were threatened. Tuesday is Memori-
al day-that one day of the year
rightly set apart for decorating the
graves of those who have fought and
died for their country's sake with
blossoms and foliage which the glori-
Gus springtime makes possible. It is
a day of national mourning-a day
that appeals to the reverential quail
ties of all patriotic Americans. It is
not day of rejoicing, day for en-
gaging in field sports and other
pastimes of a frivolous nature. Let
every one bear this in mind-let them
consider the significance of the day
and observe it in paying due respect
to the memory of their soldier dead.
This year the citizens committee, in
conjunction with the committee of the
Grand Army post, has made more
perfect arrangements for the proper
observance of the day than upon any
previous occasion of like nature.
There will be an ample number of
automobiles at the disposal of the
veterans to convey them to and from
the fair grounds and the cemetery,
and IAN excellent program of exercises
has been prepared. The fair grounds
were chosen by the joint committee for
the observance of the day for the
reason that a greater opportunity will
be given the multitude to participate.
In the event of inclement weather,
however, the exercises will be held in
the Methodist church. The program
is as follows:

 They will not go to Taft. They would most likely take a step that would not involve the burf- ing of the bridges behind them. This would naturally lead them to look toward a third party.
 But how would a third party affect the general situation, which most disastrously of the old or regular parties? Would it hurt the democrats more than the republicans?
 We believe not, for history al so shows that, where third par- tv tickets have been in the field, the republicans party has suf- fered most. The democratic party gained during the whole time green-backism ragged, not withstanding many of it's adher- ents became infected with it's heresies. It was the same as to populism. Democracy was tri- umphant when populism was rampant. Only when poulism began to Wane did the democrat ic party begin to lose ground. Fort Smith Times-Record.

Third Parties Perodical.

The activity of the insurgents
 recalls the fact that the history
 of this county shows that about
 every twenty years third party
 bulges into the political field.
 Sometimes these parties are
 ephermeral, but sometimes they
 have lasting effects. It has been < but little more than twenty
 years since the greenback party,
 with Weaver as it's head, polledl more than million votes. That party was born of the hard times that lasted for seveval years af-
 ter the panic of 1873. However, it left no impression upon the country. As soon as the country had recovered it's equilibrium it became numbered with other movements of like character -that had preceded it.
 Then came the populist party. It was, in 1891-1892, a formid- able organization, carrying sev- eral states and electing a num- Der of members to both branches of congress. 1t died in the course of a few years, but it's eff fleets are shown in the democrat ic party of today, which has ab- sorbed most, if not all, of it's principal theories.
 will 1912, in the insurgent movement, bear out this theory of history repeating itself?
 There are signs which go to show that such is not improba- able for in each of the two great 'paEties of the present day there is an clement of radicals, discon- tented and restive calling thena- selves progressives. They are numerous in all sections. They do not find a congenial resting place in the ranks of the old par ties as they exist, and if they should ion issaes. which is not unlikely they will do, they will be strong enough to cut wide sWath in the national elections next year, just as the green packers did in the seventies and the popnlists did in the early nineties.
 It goes without saying that the insurgents will not capture the next republican convention This will put up to the radical or iasurgent element of the party :. the alternative of supporting Taft or bolting him. The latter course being adopted, what will they do? Many of them would i, doubtless join the democracy, in case radical like Woodrow Will son is nominated by the demo- cratic party. There is ground for belief that LaFollette would not object seriously to such course, but it is doubtful if he could deliver enough votes to l. r-z-zs----g-- -------- ------.---
