The Old State Still Drv

Maine retains constitutional prohi-
bition. Of course everybody is in
terested in the way Maine went. Un-
til Monday night the "wets" claimed
the state by a very small majority.
Then it was that Governor Plaisted
and his council decided to accept the
corrections in the vote of four towns
cast in the September special elec-
tion, and reversed the "wet" decision
to that of "dry." Returns on elec-
tion day indicated majority of 300
against the repeal of the prohibitory
amendment, but later the official can
vas showed majority of 26 for re-
peal. It was found by comparison,
however, that in four cases the figures
of the town clerks we're reversed from
their early returns and in each case
the clerks said the error was in the
official figures. After hearings on the
subject the governor and council took
the matter under consideration, and
the result was the announcement last
night that Maine retained constitu-
tional prohibition by 758 votes.

gun borrowed for the occasion. As
we said before, he goeth forth into the
Rum river bottoms and sneaketh
around in the brush. Soon he
espieth dairy herd in the distance
and crawleth toward it on hands
and knees. He gets within shooting
distance and a COW with crumpled
horns pricks up it's ears and starts
toward him to investigate. He raises
his gun, his hands tremble and he be-
comes so scared that he cannot pull
the trigger. He drops the gun, but
picks it up again and decamps from
the Rum river bottoms as fast as his
legs will carry him. He goes back to
the city and tells his friends that deer
are plentiful in the vicinity of Prince
ton but it is not safe to go into the
woods after them-that bears, wolves
and panthers lie in wait for the
hunter and that many men have been
killed.

From the Kitchen Cabinet.

Inherited From the Kitchen Cabinet.
Tom NOswal must be as innocent as
a sucking dove, which is not at all
probable, if he doesn't know that
when Eberhart took the reins of
government, the state, under the
management of the kitchen cabinet,
was completely dominated by the
brewery and all other interests. Gov.
Eberhart may not be anxious to
shake off that dominance, but if he
we're he could not so easily do it as
may be imagined. It is a condition,
not theory, that confronts US, and
that condition was brought about by
the kitchen cabinets delusive slogan:
Let the people rule" Tom Noswal
should let the people know the real
truth, for with the truth they will be
in better condition to free them
selves from the heavy hand of the
shyster politicians that turn the busi-
ness affairs of the state to the inter-
ests.-Slayton Gazette.

Swept the Wrong Chimney.

A drunken chimney-sweeper at
tracted considerable attention in
Isanti on Tuesday. It appears that
men engaged in that kind of work fire.
quently indulge in doses of "voice
tonic," and after making a deal to
sweep chimney at the News Office he
procured a ladder and got busy on
top of the next building. . A few
minutes later he appeared down stairs
and called on Dentist Anderson in an
effort to extract money without pain.
Unsuccessful in this, he went to the
back yard and was soon engaged in a
fist fight with Nils Carlson, owner OF
the building, who happened to be in
town that day. The News building
had been entirely forgotten, and after
making nuisance of himself around
town the chimney-sweeper was driven
out of the village by Marshal Schoen-
rock.-Isanti News.

Minnesota Bred Horses.

They are here-a couple of carloads
of the best horsehesh ever placed on
the market in this or any other town,
including mares with colts by their
sides and some of the very finest farm
and general purpose horses obtain
able. These horses were selected by
my representative, who covered
hundreds of miles of country in order
to secure just the kind of stock that
the farmers in this territory are look
ing for. Every animal is Minnesota
bred, is young, and as sound as a
dollar-the sort that is bound to sell
rapidly. So if you are in need of a
team or single horse for any pur-
pose whatsoever-horses that will
prove satisfactory-call at my barn
in Princeton and make your selection.

Two Children Burned to Death

Two children, aged years and 18
months respectively, son and daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Cox, we're
burned to death at Becker on Friday
afternoon last. The fire started in
the second story of the Dyson build
ing and the two children were playing
alone in the sitting room above the
store. Smoke was noticed issuing
from the building, and when a rescue
was attempted the flames poured out
of the door so fiercely that the men
we're driven down the stairs and
forced to leave the children to their
fate. The fire spread rapidly and
totally destroyed the store and it's
stock of merchandise, the town hall,
and damaged many other buildings.
The loss is estimated at over S13, 900,
partially covered by insurance.

country will be sadly disappointed, as
certainly every citizen of Minnesota
is, that Archbishop John Ireland is
not of this honored trio. In ability,
in accomplishment in churchly digni-
ty, in devotion, he is the peer of any
OF those chosen, and none can be held
in higher regard by non-Catholics.
John Ireland has done for his
church in the vast western country a
service which has been of inestimable
value. He has held it virile, vigor-
Gus, vigilant, without the slightest
friction with other denominations and
with constantly increasing mutual
kindly feeling.
Approaching the added dignity ac-
corded by his holiness is mingled,
therefore, the regret that this great
man and Jealous prelate has not been
chosen for this recognition.-Duluth

The American Goose.

The adoption of the eagle for the
national emblem may be all right but
it might have been better to have
adopted the goose. One walked into
a church in an Illinois town last
month during the service and drove
half the congregation out of doors be-
fore flying through the window. The
old gander was mad all over. It was
a case of nerves with the people who
fled from the church, showing that
they did not have the benefit of the
tonic effect of golden grain belt beers,
the greatest digesters and nerve helps.

WILL EXHIBIT HERE
State Board of Health Will Give an
Anti-Tuberculosis Exhibition
at the Opera House.
The Object is to Enlighten Public in
Means of Preventing and Erad-
icating White Plague.

The anti-tu berculosis exhibition
which is coming to Brands opera
house next Thursday and Friday
under the auspices of the Minnesota
state board of health is the plan being
adopted all over the country for the
purpose of enlighten1ng the general
public as to how to eradicate tuber-
culosis-to present the best known
means of prevention and cure in a
manner which can be easily UNDER
stood by all. Much valuable in
formation may be gained from look
ing over the exhibition carefully.
The exhibit consists of numerous
photographs, statistical charts,
notices, etc., which are displayed on
the walls; also window tents, model
rooms, etc. No specimens of diseased
organs are shown.
Local and outside speakers will
address the meetings-of which there
will be four in all, two afternoon and
two evening hundreds of
stereopticon slides will be used. The
opening meeting is planned especially
for the pupils from the schools. Each
program will be different from the
preceding one, so everyone should
endeavor to attend as many as pos
sible. This crusade against tuber-
culosis should prove great benefit
to the public.

Chicago Thrown Down Hard

Minnesota's football team over
whelmed Chicago on Saturday at
Northrup field by a score of 80 to 0.
Chicago was outplayed in every de-
pratment OF the game and made first
down only twice. Chicago never was
in striking distance of the Minnesota
goal. Minnesota made three touch
downs, Morrell made a place kick
and Smith dropped two field goals.
Minnesota tore the Chicago line,
skirted her ends and worked the for
ward pass successfully almost at will.

get chance for a drop kick during

Underrated His Ambition.

A distinguished apostle of road
building was addressing a meeting of
farmers in the state of Washington
several years ago, just when there
was contest going on for a United
States senatorship. The speaker was
not in the senatorial race, but his
speech so pleased one farmer that he
interrupted him:
"You're the man I want for
SENATOR"
The speaker paid no attention to
him. But presently the farmer again
called out:
"You're the man for senator"
my friend,' said the speaker,
"you are kinder than you are wise.
Let me ask you question. Do you
know the name of either senator from

"Of either senator from Ohio?"

"Of either senator from Virignia?"
''No, SIR"

Caesar was?"

"Well, now, a mere senator, even
from any one of the most famous
states, is not we'll enough known for
his name to have reached your ears.
But the Roman emperors were road
builders; and, though. julius Caesar
has been dead more than two thousand
years, you know who he was. We
are here not to consider such & small,
transitory subject as a senatorship,
but such a lasting and noble subject
as road building; and you have un-
dervalued the Importance of this meet
ing and underrated my ambition. Do
not interrupt me again unless you
have something to say worthy of the
occasion.-World's Work.

Princeton Potato Market.

Potatoes have been coming in
steadily during the week and prices
have ruled a trifle higher on some
varieties. Eighty-three cars have left
here since the last issue of the
U n On, most of them going to the
southern states. This makes a total
of 845 cars shipped from this point
since the season opened, and
hundreds more will leave before it
closes. The majority of the farmers
have taken their potatoes out of the
ground, but the quantity marketed is
said to be small compared with that
stored in cellars and warehouses and
placed in pits.

Shot With 22-Caliber Rifle.


Roe, the S-year-old son of Judge W.
V. Sanford, while at play in R. E..
Sanford's yard on Saturday AFTER
noon, was shot in the right leg. The
bullet-from 22-caliber riae-entered
the leg above the knee and emerged
about six inches above the point of
penetration. The boys father has
the bullet, one side of which was fiat
tened, probably from contact with a
bone, in his possession. 1t was found
inside Roe's trousers. Roe and other
children who we're playing with him
heard a succession of shots, but it
was not until the little fellow saw
blood trickling down his leg that he
realized he had been injured. With
the blood came the pain and the boy
commenced to cry. Clarence Sanford,
the judges cousin, who was not far
away went to the boys assistance and,
discovering he had been shot, started
across clearing to a place where
he heard voices. There he found three
boys - Sjoblom, Engebretson and
Devlin-one of whom, Sjoblom, had
a 22-ride in his hands. The boys said
they had been shooting birds.
While the injury was in all proba-
bility inflicted accidentally, this is no
excuse for boys being permitted to
handle firearms. The law governing
the matter is specific and should be
more strictly enforced.

TIE BLIND 0PTIMIST
Frederick S. Atwood, Grand Chan.
cellor OF Knights of Pythlas,
!: Addresses Local Lodge.
Noted Orator Will Deliver His Famous
Lecture on ''fIappiness" in
Princeton December IL.

Fred S. Atwood of Minneapolis,
grand chancellor of the Knights of
Pythias, and known as "The Blind
Optimist," delivered an address on
Tuesday evening before the members
OF Princeton lodge No. 50, and a
large number of the boys turned out
to listen to him. His subject was
''Fraternalism," and he handled it in
q manner of which few men are capa-
ble-every man in the hall was SPELL
bound by his masterful discourse.
Mr.. Atwood is both a logician and
an orator, and in many respects he is
a remarkable man. Apparently with
out effort he gives out those precious
gems of thought that are so helpful to
every mind. The Knights of Pythias
are fortunate in having so noble a
character for their grand chancellor.
On February II, 1905, Frederick S.
Atwood, then 20 years of age, while
pinning an emblem on newly-in-
itiated member of the Pythians, sud-
denly lost the sight of one eye and in
six weeks from that time he became
totally blind. "This," says he, "was
the greatest blessing that ever came
into my life"
Mr.. Atwood was formerly a Con-
gregational minister and later went
on the lecture platform, where he
gained much prestige. His lecture on
"Happiness" has brought forth many
deserving eucomiums from the press
of the country. This lecture will be
delivered in the K. P. hall on Decem-
ber II and the members of the lodge
will issue invitations to their friends
to hear this eloquent speaker.
The Pioneer Press says of Mr.. Att
wood: Ellis lecture, which was heard
by an audience that packed the build
ing, was a careful consideration of
the sources of unhappiness with a
view of determining by elimination
wherein lies the secret of happiness.
The| address was replete with stories
and word pictures of true artistic
merit. His philosophy is that of SELF
help and happiness of others. and it
comes with added force from one who
has turned his blindness into bless
ing to himself and others. Mr.. Att
wood has fine presence and an elo-
quent and forceful address,

Clarence B. Miller of Duluth, con-

Miller found that the principal need
on the Fond du Lac is roads, as many
of the alIotments have been aban-
doned and many sold owing to their

Institution Flourishlne.

F. b. Bartlett, buttermaker at the

town on business Thursday. Asked
how the creamery is prospering, Mr..
Bartlett said that much more butter
has been made this year than last
and that the patrons are gradually
increasing. The creamery has a fine
dairying country surrounding it and
there is no apparent reason why it
should not prosper.
