FIRE DESTROYS HOME.
Dwelling House of Clarence Hill and
Contents Burn,

Between the hours of 2 and 3 on
Monday morning the home of
Clarence Hill, in the southern part
OF the village, with it's furniture and
other effects, was entirely consumed
by fire, and it was fortunate that
the members of the family escaped
with their lives. While the fire de-
partment responded readily to the
call, the volume of flame was so
large and had gained so great a
Roadway when the boys reached
there that extinguishment was i'm
possible.
The fire was caused by lamp
which Mrs. Hill had placed in the
stairway to afford light while she
carried her little girl, who was sick,
to. her bed upstairs. Mr.. Hill and
the members of the family were
sleeping downstairs. One of the
older girls. who. slept on the second
floor, was fortunately absent on a
visit in the country. In the stair
way was hanging a quantity of wear
ing apparel, and it is supposed that
current of air brought this in con-
tact with the lamp, which later ex-
ploded..
Mrs. Hill discovered the fire as she
was about to carry the child upstairs
and Immediately awoke her husband,
WHO jumped out Of bed and, realiz-
ting the danger, got the children out
Of The house with all possible speed.
1T was not long before the building
was a roaring furnace. Mr.. Hill at
tempted to save some of the house
hold goods, but only succeeded in
getting out few small articles.
BY this fire Mr.. Hill sustains a
heavy loss, as he carried only 5000
insurance-S55O on the house and
$3.50 on the furniture. He says, how
ever, that he does not mind the loss
that he is truly thankful his
daughter was away on a visit, for
had she been asleep in her room on
the second story no power on earth
could have saved her in that seeth.

pidity.

legislation: it's interest is from the
standpoint of great issues fought
out.
Political activities have helped to
.prolong it, and political differences
between the house and senate, the
one democratic and the other con-

the republican party, have served to
tie up appropriation bills and i'm

Many huge annual appropriation
bills that should have become effec-

Kelley May Oppose Lindberah

Charley Kelley, editor of the
Menahga Journal, published in Wa

one else files against Congressman G.
A. Llndbergh in the sixth district,
he will Mr.. Kelley is Taft sup
porter and thinks that Mr.. Lind

date to file for congress in the dis
trict," said Mr.. Kelley Monday, IT

any longing to live at Washington,
but in order that the republicans of
the sixth district may have chance
to vote for one whose principles they
stand for.''

Market a Trifle STRONGER.

During the week prices of potatoes
in the Princeton market have ranged
from 40 to so cents per bushel.
Fifty cents was paid only for excep-
tionally good stock. The movement
of potat oes to- the warehouses shows
more life than last week but no large
quantities are so far being marketed.
Twelve cars have been shipped from
this point since the last issue of the

The Village Council.

The village council met in regular
monthly session on Tuesday evening,
audited a number of bills and
ordered cement sidewalk laid be-
tween the Princeton Cooperative
creamery and Drescher's corner. IT
was also decided to sell the village
scales if fair price can be obtained.
An advertisement will appear later
in the . lion calling for cash offers.
The scales have been used but little
and are almost as good as new.

WEST BRANCH PICNIC
The Farmers Cooperative Creamery
Company Entertalns a nuItl-
.tude at Estes Brook.
Two Ball Games Constitute Principal
Attraction and Long Siding
Carries Off the Honors.

The West Branch Creamery associ-
alton held it's annual picnic in Jean
Bemis' grove at Estes Brook on Sun
day and hundreds of people took ad-
vantage of the opportunity to enjoy
a days outing. The day was an
ideal one for the picnic and Bemis'
grove, with it's big shade trees, is a
magnificent place for a gathering of
this sort-there could scarcely be
found place better adapted to the
requirements. A good baseball
ground is also one of the features of
the place.
People came from miles around to
attend the picnic and many teams
and automobiles were lined up on
the stretch of ground set apart for
the accommodation of vehicles.
The officers Of the creamery put
forth their best efforts to make it
pleasant for the visitors, but much
regret was expressed at the failure
of the speakers who had promised to
be there to attend.
Shortly after noon dinner was
spread-the good old-fashioned bas-
ket dinner prepared by the farmers
wives and daughters-and everyone
was extended an invitation to help
themselves to the good things pro-
vided. There are no more hospitable,
whole-souled people on earth. than
the farmers. Viands of all sorts
were spread upon the greensward
and everyone had great sutficiency
to appease the inner man. .>.
Two ball games were the absorbing
features of the day and the Long
Siding nine showed their superiority
by winning both Of them. The first
game, between Long, Siding and
Estes Brook, proved a walk-away for
the first-named team, which won by
score of Is to 7. The second con-
test was between Long Siding and
O'Neil, and this was by far a better
|game-the Long Siding boys found
themselves up against a proposition
that was not nearly so easy. How
ever Long Siding again won by a
score of 4 to 3, but at the close of
the game the victorious team was
nearly petered out. Both teams are
deserving of credit for the splendid
work they executed.
The West Branch creamery is doing
a very satisfactory business. Its
patrons are increasing fast as result
of the inducements offered-highest
market price in cash for butterfat.
These patrons realize that, with a
ready cash market for cream, nothing
pays so we'll as good milk COWS.
A word of praise is due the direc-
tors of the creamery. The board
consists of progressive, level-headed
farmers who avail themselves of
every opportunity to enhance the
success of the creamery and, under
the management of such men, the
concern cannot do other than pros
per. The mery is the backbone
of the state of Minnesota.

NOTES.

NOTES.
The Princeton team goes to Foley
next Sunday to take on the fast ag-
gregation of that place.
Porter carried off the batting
honors for the locals, garnering in a
double and single off Wilkes de-
livery.
It was anybody's game until it
was over, and the crowd was kept
on edge until the last man was out
in the ninth inning.
George Cramb of St. Cloud offici-
ated and was called on to decide
many close plays in close game.
Naturally his decisions touldn It
please everybody, but. on the whole,
his work was satisfactory.
Wilkes did the honors for the
visitors, and although the locals got
to him for quite a collection of
hits, he kept them pretty we'll
scattered and, when hits meant
runs, he was as stingy as John D. at
a socialist hat passing.
Joe Porter did the heaving for the
locals and pitched classy article of
ball Notwithstanding the three home
runs registered off his delivery.
Without throwing any slurs at the
batting abilities of our up-river
cousins, we rise to remark that one
of Herr Heilig's home runs was
really only a double, with a possible
chance of the. runner being thrown
out at second, while the one Wilkes
made the complete circuit on would
ordinarily have been good for a
single, but lucky bounce took it
out of the grasp of the outfelder and
then it rolled way to the race track.
All the breaks of the game seemed
to run to the visitors and the few
Princeton errors made seem to have
come at the most .inopportune time.

MlLACA TEAM WINS
Game Exciting From Start to Finish
But Visitors Crush Locals to
Tune of Four to One.
Porter Carries Off the Honors for the
Home Team and Wilkes for
the rllIaca Aggregation.

The 1ejuvenated Princeton ball
team came in contact with the
M1laca live wires last Sunday at the
fair grounds and got short circuited
4 to l. The game was close and ex
citing right from the start and both
teams scored a run apiece in the
early stages Of the contest. Here it
remained in tie for several innings
until Herr Heilig came to bat.
With two out and nobody on bases
Porter took chance and lobbed one
over to Heilig and the aforesaid
Teuton zowied it away to the outer
stockade, where Kaliher and w.
Roos proceeded to do a whirling der
wish dance around a little leather
pellet and, before they had COM
pleted their extemporaneous stunt
and finally relayed the ball back into
the diamond, the fleet-footed Heilig
was over the home plate, thus giving
Milaca a lead Of one run. Nothing
further happened in the next two
innings although both sides sue
ceeded in getting men on bases on
several occasions, but there was
nothing doing in. the line of run
getting, for as soon as crop of base
runners started springing up on the
bases, alright pitching and sharp
fielding soon moved them down be-
fore any harvesting of scores could
be accomplished. The next thrill in
the game came when Heiilg repeated
his home-run performance by clout-
ing out another one just to show
that the first one wasn't a pure
matter of luck. This score brought
Milaca's total up to 3, and Wilkes
made out of it when he hit to
right field for another home run, al
though his score came near being
nipped at the home plate, the runner
just flashing in ahead of the sweep
of Skahen's arm as he turned to put
the ball on him. Princeton started
batting rally in the last half of the
ninth, inning when, with one out,
Kaliher hit safe one and Art Roos
came through, with clean drive
over second base and, before the ex-
citement had quieted down, Kaliher
was safe at third and Roos was
anchored safely at the second sta
tion, and things were looking up for
a tied score. With two men on and
only one down, the -rooters pleaded
for hit of some kind, but Wilkes
frightened up and struck the next
two batters out and the game was
over

Welt leaders admitted today that they did
not expect to have New Hampshire
delegate to the Chicago convention.
The presidential preferential vote as
tabulated at the Roosevelt headquar-
