time to realize what had taken place.
The electric light plant which sup
piled the city was put out of COM
mission when the storm struck,
which greatly retarded the work of
rescue which was being carried on by
hundreds of willing hands.
The cyclone was formed by two
heavy bodies Of yapor, one from the
southeast and the other from the
southwest, which conyerged at a
point southwest of the city, where
its work of destruction commenced.
Funnel shaped, with a fringe of
heavy rain and hail, the whirling
cloud hit Wascana lake and then
swept through the city northward,
cutting a swath 800 yards wide
through the business blocks and
private residences and leaving in it's
wake a lane of debris beneath which
scores of the inhabitants were lying.
Tearing along at the rate of 70 or 80
miles an hour, the cloud was beyond
the city in a period Of less than two
minutes. Sections of the city lying
outside the track of the cloud were
not cognizant for some time that
anything untoward had happened.
but when the citizens awoke to the
full realization of the extent of the
calamity the streets were quickly
filed. The roaring of the elements.
which was described as deafening
when it hit the city, had died away,
the air was calm and the cloudburst
which followed the tornado having
ceased, a gentle summers rain fell.
ALI steps were turned in the direc-
tion Of the dismantled area and
there was much agonizing suspense
at the beginning for those who were
searching for their kindred. For
several hours there was wild con-
fusion, the relocated mounted
police struggling with the masses.
Then the work of rescue started, not
an organized effort, but wild
scramble for the dead and dying.
Some two hours after the cloud had
passed some kind of order was re-
stored and systematic search COM
but it will be days before
the debris is removed. III -
Many families were separated at
the time of the storm The day had
been extremely hot and many had
sought comfort in the parks. Many.
too, were out on the waters of Was
cana lake when the storm broke and
five are known to have been drowned.
Mayor McAra, the civic authorities
and other prominent citizens.
formed a relief organization. Two
temporary hospitals were opened,
one in immigration hospital and one
in city block, each being supplied
with doctors and nurses who yolun-
teered their services.
Premier Scott early conferred with
Mayor McAra and stated that the
provincial government would place
S25, 900 at the disposal of the city
authorities and that more would
be forthcoming if necessary.

damaged property as far as GU

camp week and expected to return
to Princeton upon the following
morning. He had been ailing for
about four years, and notwithstand-
ing the fact that the best medical
specialists in the country had been
consulted, no permanent relief could
be obtained. On the day preceding
his death Mr.. Mallette passed many
hours sitting beneath the shade trees
and gazing out over the lake. He
appeared to be in deep reverie, and
Mrs. Mallette, as she watched him
sitting there, said to herself, "Poor
Henry, he is bidding farewell to the
scenes so dear to him. He felt as
we'll as usual when he retired on
Saturday night but was taken sud-
denly ill at II o'clock and his wife
telephoned for DR.. SWennes, but
when the doctor arrived he saw that
nothing could be done to prolong life.
Thus Henry Mallette passed away at
the place he loved better than any
on earth. Directly after his death
neighbors placed the flag at Camp
Ransom at half mast. The remains
were brought to Princeton on Mon
day mornings train and conveyed to
the family residence.
Henry r. Mallette was born at
Hogansburgh, N. Y, in 1862, and
came to Princeton in. 1877, where for
several years he was employed in the
store of N. E. Jesmer. On February
|26, 1884, he was married to Miss
Matte Galley and in 1888, with his
wife, moved to Foreston, where he
engaged in the general merchandise
business. He was the first village
president of Foreston and filled other
village and town positions. After a
residence of some IA years in
Foreston he went to Milaca and
there engaged in business, later be-
coming associated with the J. H.
Allen Credit Co. Of St. Paul. About
two years ago he came to Princeton
to reside, He was member of the
twenty-ninth (1S95) legislature from
the old forty-sixth district, and was
also a member of the thirty first
Q899) legislature from the present
forty-fifth district. He is survived
by his wife and two sons, Lloyd and
Lester. One child died in infancy.
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. Father Willenbrink of St.
Cloud in St. Edwards Catholic
church yesterday morning at 10
O'Clock and a large number of the
friends and neighbors of deceased
were present to pay respect to his
memory. Rev. Willenbrink delivered
an impressive sermon and paid high
tribute to the worth of Mr.. NAL
lettte, and the choir rendered beauti-
full selections. The floral offerings
were profuse. It was long process
sion that followed the remains of
Henry Mallette to Oak Knoll ceme-
terry, several of those in attendance
being from distant towns. LLOYD
and Lester Mallette were present at
their fathers funeral.

A SPECIAL ELECTION
Thursday, July IL, Date Set for Vot-
ing Upon Issue of 81 900 Bonds
for Armory Purposes.
Now Up to Citizens Whether or Not
They Want q Permanent nod-
ern Building Erected.

A special village election will be
held on July II to vote upon resolu-
tion, passed by the village council
on Saturday afternoon last, recon-
mending an issue of bonds in the
sum of $1,000 to aid in the purchase
of a site and the construction of an
armory for Princeton. The call for
the election will be found elsewhere
in this number and the resolution
passed by the councilzis as follows:
Pursuant to call duly issued, the
village council of the village of
Princeton, in the county of Mile
Laos and state of Minnesota, met
therein on the 29th day of June,
1912, and thereupOn quorum con-
sisting of majority Of all the mem
bers thereof being present, G. Umbe-
hooker, a member thereof, offered
the following resolution and moved
it's adoption:
Resolved, that in the opinion Of
the village council of the village of
Princeton, in the county of Mile
Lacs and state of Minnesota, it is ex-
pedient to issue to the state of Min
nesota the bonds of said village to
the aggregate amount of $1,000 for
the purpose Of aiding in the purchase
of site and in the construction of
an armory, to bear interest at the
rate of four per centum per annum,
to mature and be of the respective
number and amounts as hereinafter
set forth:
One bond of $1,000, payable July
1st, 1924. s..ssS
That the proposition of issuing
said bonds be submitted to the cleo
tors Of said village Of Princeton at
the 18th day of July, 1912, and that
qu1red by law, which motion, being
member thereof was put to a vote
all the members thereof had voted
in favor of said resolution, the same
was carried and so declared. ;.
The vote on the resolution was as
follows: :z--Ayes,- McRae, Hummel,
Davis and Umbehocker; nay, Byers.
Under the provisions of bill in
troduced by R. G. Dunn at the
special session of the legislature, and
unanimously passed, the sum of
So, 1853. .99-based on the real estate
valuation of the village of Princeton
could be appropriated for the pur-
pose above specified, but Company G
decided to ask for only $1,000. Now
it is up to the voters to say whether
bonds shall be issued in that amount
to assist in providing Princeton with
an armory. The state appropriates
$40, 900 toward this building and, it
seems to us, that the least the vii
lage can do is to contribute the $1,000
asked. This will insure a structure
which will be a credit to Princeton
a structure that will remain perma-
nent even should the militia disband,
which is very unlikely.
The Union does not propose to
waste any words in arguing in favor
of the armory. It is up to the
voters. If the $1,000 is voted the
building of the armory is assured.
If the proposition is. rejected there
will be no armory. 1t is for the
voters to decide. The Union un-
hesitatingly votes "YES' on the
armory proposition.

 Have you been planning and saving to that end. for 10, these many weeks

MAKING A BUSINESS OF ATHLETICS.

OF AT HIlE tiSo.
 One of the most marked charac- teristics Of the American team Of athletes which made such high marks at Stockholm was the tendency of the men from this country 10 take athletic work very seriously.
 With the British, athletics is al ways kind of side issue, a gentle mans diversion, which he takes up more or less incidentally to other pursuits.
 The American is too whole hearted to consider even sport in this man ner. What is worth doing at all is worth doing well. If he is going into athletics, he goes in to win, and no means of winning will pass untried
 On the whole it is a fine spirit
 With some men it leads to the frit- tering away of energy in pursuits dis connected with the real ends of life But with others it is a great train ing to learn to do some one partic- ular thing better than anyone else, no matter if it is merely running 100 yards. The same spirit taken into business spells a grand success.

HERO-HUNTlNG
fNew York world)


 The agent long employed by the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission to SCOUT the country for heroes worthy of medals has resigned his position. and a natural curiosity will be felt as to his reason for giving up what 10 many will seem a most desirable job.
 What more congeniaI occupation could a man want than to search for modest merit with view to decorat- ing it and officially certifying it to the world as approved by the Carnegie commission2 As a form of human botanizing, a quest of the flowers of heroism that blush unseen, it ought to possess a zest unknown to those who merely search tropical forests for or chids or delve in Asian ruins for the remains of old civilizations
 In the course of eight years of hero hunting the Carnegie agent travelled 900 ,000 miles, investigated 1000 of the 10000 cases of heroism brought to the commissions notice and person ally determined 115 of the 5S3 awards of medals. Can it be that a too famil- far acquaintance with subsidized her oism engendered the contempt that familiarity breeds in other things that he grew weary of the exploitation Of de esdof bravery done in the line of duty by plain Americans who did not know they had the stuff of heroes in them until the emergency came?
 The Athenians got tired of hearing ATistides called just, and It is not i'm possible that a professional hero-seek- CT. from long association with certihed heroes, might acquire a distsste for his occupation and a preference for the kind of bravery and self-sscrifice that works by stealth and bushes to find itself famous

strange town between boats. They need the exhilaration of seeing stran- gers. and it makes them bigger-mind- ed to see how people live in other ci- ties and in parts of the country where customs are different from those in the place where one habitually lives
 A two weeks trip away from fami- liar things is the best kind of a upon the return, and it's usually worth the money that's been spent worth the more as time mellows the memories.
 One of the kindest and most far reaching rhilanthropies in the world would be a fund established to pro- vide vacation trips for stay at homes those who never find time or means to get away from the routine of every day and who can never know the joy of preparation for a journey. or the supreme joy of getting back and greeting all the more than ever loved folks and familiar places.

 People with peculiarities are those who never mix with their fellows. and who do not understand that it IS part of eyeryone's duty 10 consider other peoples convenience as well as their own.
 Of course, there are people whose work keeps them too much on the jump, and whose greatest joy is home and quiet because they have so little of either.
 The vacation time, to be a real rest and happiness, should be spent as the heart desires. and when a man prefers to spend his annual rest time in hammock on tbe porch, and 10 fill his stomach with home grub. or take his recreation with the kid dies in the city parks, it would be a cruelty to send him hustling on trip"
