by no means encouraging That
fact, however, did not deter this
man of vision and courage from as
Stunning the burden of it's direction
and upbuilding.
His retirement yesterday from the
active presidency and his election to
the honorable relation of president
emeritus marks the close of the
longest college presidency in the
history of the state. 1t also is at
tended by the fact that this institu-
tion, which was bankrupt 30 years
ago, is now on sound and perma-
nent basis financially. This was the
work of George H. Bridgman. 1t
was the necessary, first work. But
it was not all. 1t takes more than
money to make a college. 1t takes a
large man to be a successful college
president. He must be large not
only intellectually, but nowhere else
does sterling character, human
sympathy, a knowledge Of men, en-
thusiasm and the quality of leader
ship count for more than in the man
who takes the relation of college
president to body of keenly critical
young men and women. His measure
is so accurately taken by them that
he cannot survive if the analysis
does not show the possession of those
qualities which the office calls for.
DR.. Bridgman has filled the office for
twenty-nine years. He leaves it
laden with honor and enthroned in
the affections of his pupils.
But not only has he stood the test
in that relation-he has been an
important factor in the making of
the state during the period of it's
greatest Development With a
breadth of view and catholicity of
spirit which few men Of strong con-
victions possess he has enjoyed the
respect and friendship Of good men
OF all shades of opinion and belief.
This is in part an explanation of
his usefulness in wide sphere of
effort and influence. Among men Of
business and affairs as we'll as among
those in callings more akin to his
own profession he has always been
! the welcome and appreciated
counselor and participant in every
thing which made for the better
ment Of the community.
1t is gratifying to know that after
la brief absence spent in travel,
generously provided for by the uni
versity, he will return to spend his
remaining years among those who
hold him in generation and esteem.

Death of Mrs. John Cullen.

Mrs. John Cullen, daughter of
Michael Mahoney of Princeton, died
at Providence hospital, Seattle, on
Wednesday,, June 5, following a
surgical operation. She had been
sick for three years and, notwith-
standing the fact that the best
medical attendance possible was OBJ
tanned, her life could not be pro-
longed. Funeral services were held
from the Catholic church in Seattle
on June and were attended by a
large number of people.
Mrs. Cullen, whose maiden name
was Anna Mahoney, was born in
Princeton in December, 1867, and
attended school here She was mar
ried in this village in November,
1897, to John Cullen, and after her
marriage resided in ST. George town.

years ago, with her husband, she
went to Seattle and continued to
live there until the time of her
death. She is survived by her
husband and daughter Ii years of
age. She also leaves her father,
Michael Mahoney, Princeton; two
brothers., Joseph Mahoney of Seattle
and William Mahoney of Princeton;
and one sister, Mrs. John Carey of
St. Cloud. e.. &
Mrs. Cullen was lady possessing
many v1rtues-a true christian, kind
neighbor, and an affectionate wife
woman beloved by all who. knew
her. In Princeton she leaves many
dear friends who will long hold her
memory in reverence.

The Democratic State Convention.

The democratic state convention
to elect delegates to the national
convention at Baltimore was held in
Duluth last Thursday, and it is
doubtful il any such largely attended
convention Of the party has ever
been held in the state.
Fred 3. Lynch was unanimously
Endorsed to succeed himself as ma

The resolutions committee, in it's
report, paid high tribute to Will
liam Jennings Bryan and Endorsed
the candidacy Of Woodrow Wilson,
instructing the delegates to use all
honorable means to secure his NOM
nation. The report Of. this COM
mittee. which was lengthy, was
adopted with but few dissenting
voices.

William j. Bryan mentioned as a
second choice, and some Clark men
on the committee requested an I'M
instructed delegation, but after
considerable wrangling both were
voted down.
An attempt to stampede the con-
vention for Bryan failed after con-
siderable noise. John Cogan of Min
neapolis led the attempt and was
assisted by P. J. Russell of Bemidji
and few others. If the attempt
ever had chance of success it was
shut off by a letter from Bryan,
read by Guy Thomas of Minneapolis.
The letter stated that Bryan is not a
candidate and does not want instruc-
tions from any state. Instructions,
MIR. Bryan said in his letter, would
place him in an embarrassing posi-
tiOn.
Delegates elected from the Eighth
district to the Baltimore convention
are Alfred Jacques of Duluth and G.

alternates are J. J. Skahen OF

George Rice was awakened on Sun
day night by his wife, who was
aroused by the cries of Mrs. Jos.
Craig for assistance. George hustled
into5 his pants, grabbed his gun,
and barefooted, rushed out into the
night. By the time he arrived at
his nieghbor's Joe Craig, jr., was
also out of bed and George found
that a burglar 81 burglars had en-

move the screens, which were partly
unfastened. Thereupon George and
Joe made the rounds of the barns
Joe armed with a potato fork-but
failed to get any trace of the depre-
dators. During the remainder of
the night George slept with one eye
open, but it was not for the reason
that he was DESTROYS of remaining
awake-the sandburs in his feet were
reponsible for his sleeplessness.
AS Joe Mossman and George Rice
were returning to their homes from
attendance at lodge Oh Monday night
they espied a couple of suspicious
looking characters walking leisurely
in the same direction. ''I'll bet
those are the sons Of guns who tried
to break into Craig's last night,'' re-
marked George; ':we'll watch
'em.' And watch 'em they did.
The fellows were evidently on their
way to the barn behind L. E. Fox's
residence, but they saw George and
Joe approaching and sat down on the
embankment of the Fox lawn. The
pursuers went up to the suspects,
asked them their business and where
they were going and, upon receiving
no satisfactory answer, Joe kept
them rounded up while George tele-
phoned for the police. 1t was not

TRADE VERY BRISK
ON MORRIS AVENUE
Supply Ample for Heavy
Demand With No Price
Changes

Trade on Morris avenue was very
brisk yesterday and very few price
changes took place The supply con-
tinues ample for the heavy demand.
The local produce market reported NO
change. Receipts are normal and the
dealers are now well supplied with all
the fruits and vegetables handled at this
season. A carload of Concord grapes was
received yesterday, the first to be seen
on Morris avenue this year
With the dry salt meat market a slight
advanced was noted. but the status of
creamery products and poultry and eggs
remains the same. The grain merchants
are enjoying the best trade of the sea
son at steady prices. The demand for
hay and corn is especially good at this
time.
The fish dealers reported that oysters
and shrimp are coming into the fish
market in increasing numbers and by
next week will be plentiful Prices on
fish are very low, but the demand re-
mains sluggish. Yesterdays wholesale
quotations follow.

closed sac down to &c advance and oats

of iquidatlng sales as result OF WORD
that 100000 bushels of new wheat had
been hedged in today in Minneapolis alono
and that 1900 loaded cars were scheduled
to arrive at Duluth Monday
Seaboard sales of 70 boat loads of wheat
and the engaging of vessel room for W
more loads failed to bring about more
than feeble rallies. December fuctuated
between 90ssc and 9lhc, closing steady
but 1Aaeac off at 9olsQeossc.
Numerous reports of corn firing in dry
hot sections southwest influenced some
heavy buying Of corn. There was also
active cash demand from the east. Many
spectators. however, sold OH account OF
generally good crop prospects. The upshot
was an irregular market with nearby de-
liveries finishing steady with the close I'M
changed at 54lsc. No. yellow was quoted
at HsaT9l4c Oats held comparatively
steady in consequence of fair export
sales. Outside limits touched by De-
cember were SIC and s2lsc, with final sales
the same as last night at 32t.c.
In privisions the average OF prices
was maintained owing to light run OF
hogs here and west. The greatest net
advance did not exceed &C either way.
