@Naining department for Teachers.

2 The school board, at recent meet
ing, decided to introduce a training
for teachers for next year.
The state allows $3.50 per year for this
department., hence it is practically
self-supporting. Any pupil in the
high school who has four credits and
who secures the consent of the village
superintendent, or any teacher in the
country schools who has had eight
months experience and who obtains
the consent of both the county SUPER
intendent and the village superinten-
dent, may be enrolled in this depart
ment. Already about nine members
of the next years senior class have
signifed a desire to take up this
work. The enrolment will be taken
for the most part from the upper high
school classes, also from those who
have had actual experience in teach
ing if there are any who desire to at
tend. .-
The work in this department in
cludes review of all the common
branches, including penmanship,
physiology and civics. The students
likewise act as assistants to the grade
teachers, helping to correct papers,
assisting pupils, and doing observa-
ton work.
This phase of high school work is
highly recommended by. Mr.. Alton,
the state high school inspector, and
has already been established in "a
high schools of the state. It is es-
pecially fitted for those pupils who
intend to teach in the country and
semi-graded schools Immediately after
graduation.

the members accepted her resignation,
as she has been a faithful and con-
scientious worker, never firing of do
ing good as she saw it, and it is
largely through her efforts, assisted
by large band of harmonious mem

present high standard. Too much
praise cannot be said in Mrs. Ewing s
behalf for her good work in the

an active member of the organization

! Troubadours Lose by One Point.

Bert Marks Troubadours and the
Long Siding Sluggers staged the
opening baseball game at the local
ball lot last Sunday. The game went
through various stages of develop
ment and suddenly turned from list
less one-sided game to tie score in
the eighth inning and Garrison
finish in the ninth. Long Siding took
the lead right in the first inning and
held the locals safe until the eighth,
when they fell on some of Leander's
slants for several safe ones and these
hits, coupled with several serious
errors on the part of the Long Siding
athletes, tied the score up in 7 to
knot with Marks colts looking
strongly as if they we're going to 60
under the wire first. But Long Siding
was out to win the contest and sue
ceeded in scoring another run in the
ninth, which turned out to be the
winning run, as the locals we're un-
able to do anything in their half OF
the ninth and finally lost OUT to 8.
Leander, the famous speed merchant
from Long Siding, was on the firing
line for the Sluggers and proved very
effective at times, and at other times
the locals took very kindly to some
of his slants and planted several of
them out in the outer gardens for
satellites of varying lengths. r. Stay
and Walker served in the coming
tower for the locals and kept the fire
fairly we'll concentrated except in
spots, when the Long Siding lads
raped them right back at them. On
the whole it was very good exhibit
tion Of the game and the spectators
enjoyed it throughout, and especially
SO in the last three innings, when it
looked like either sides game until it
was all over.
The Zimmerman team will be here
next Sunday to meet the Troubadours
and an exciting contest is sure to
result.

FALL CAUSES DEATH.
Andrew Lamoreaux Falls Into Cellar
at Clarence Hills Place and
Fractures His Skull.
Herman Fomings, an Aged Resident
of Baldwin, Dies at the Home
of Theodore CimpeI.

Andrew D.. @. Lamoreaux met with
an accident on Saturday night which
resulted in his death at the North
western hospital early Monday morn
ing. Mr.. Lamoreaux returned from
Wineset, WASH, on Saturday even
ing's train and later called at Car-
ence Hills place of business. During
the time he was there he went to the
back part of the room with the inten-
tion, it is presumed of entering a
closet and, not being familiar with
the place, opened the door leading to
the cellar and fell to the floor below,
distance of several feet. Men bur-
ried to his assistance and found him
unconscious-he had struck the floor
with his head. He was Immediately
taken to a room in the Commercial
hotel and medical assistance sum-
moned, when it was discovered that
he had fractured his skull.
At 8 O'Clock on Sunday morning he
was removed to the Northwestern
hospital and upon the evening of the
same day DR.. Cooney performed
surgical operation on his skull and
removed a piece of bone and a clot of
blood over the brain. The patient
passed away at 1925 on Tuesday
morning, having failed to regain
consciousness. Death was caused by
cerebral hemorrhage.
Funeral services we're conducted
this morning at 9 O'Clock by Rev.
Fisher of the Princeton Congrega-
tiOnal church at the home of E. Ander-
son a, bother-in-law of the deceased.
The body was taken to North Free
dom, Wis, on this mornings train,
and will there be inferred.
Andrew D. G. Lamoreaux was born
at Chester, Ohio, on September 10,
1849, and when a boy moved, with his
parents, to Cherry, III. From there
he went to Baraboo, Wis. !, and was
married in that town to Elizabeh
Hirchinger. He came to Minnesota,
in 1887 and for a number of years
conducted a general store in Mime
apolis. In 1895 he moved to Blue
Hill, Sherburne county, and located
on farm. Three years ago he gave
up farming and went to live with
son at Wineset, WASH, and, as here
tofore stated, had just returned from
that place when he so tragically lost
his life. he is survived by three sons
and two daughters: Arthur and
Huber Lamoreaux, Blue Hill:
Howard Lamoreaux, Wineset, WASH;
Mrs. o. F. Schussler, Vienna,
Austria; and Elizabeth Lamoreaux,
Kenilworth, Ill. He also leaves a
brother and two sisters, viz, Chas.
Lamoreaux, Minneapolis; Mrs. E.
Anderson, Princeton: and Mrs. J. E.
Orion, Blue Hill.
Mr.. Lamoreaux was a quite, unas-
suming man who was we'll liked by all
who knew him, and it is sad, indeed,
that he should have met so tragic a
death.

Princeton, MINI.
Dear Sir: The town of South Har-
Dor will have $1,000 or more to ex-
pend on roads this year and we want
to get the "dollar for dollar" state
aid if possible, but we are informed
that the attorney general of the state
has decided that the state can pay out
no money on work done by towns.
Now can you suggest some way in
which this town money can be ex-
pended on the roads in the town so
that the town may receive the "doIlar
for dollar" state aid? If so you will
boost the good roads cause in
northern Mile Laos county, and we
surely need all the help we can get up
here. [ am yours truly,
Chas. L. F'reer,

cuss the political situation, but We
sidetracked him for time and he
gave fine dissertation on bees.
Herb has made success of apicul-
ture and person contemplating TAX

many valuable pointers from him.
Mr.. Gates told US when bees would
sting and when they would not, and
said he had often been stung himself
but paid no attention to it. I would
rather be stung by a thousand bees
than by one poisonous politician, he
declared. Warming up to his new
subject, he denounced both Taft and
Roosevelt and said he'd be darned if
he'd vote for either. Herb considers
them both tools of the interests--in
fact he knows it. Mr.. Gates is an in
teresting talker upon whatsoever
topic he may select.

tions aroused by that address and the
conception of the consequences will
vary with the personal view or the
political association.
The right must be conceded to
President Taft to repel what he re-
CARDS as an attack upon himself, his
administration and his party policy,
and there can be no two opinions
about the frankness and vigor with
which he avails himself of that right.
His reputation as forceful platform
orator was already established and
will not suffer, in that respect, from
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. energy
with which he went to his own defense
and passed to the attack upon his
whilom friend, Colonel Roosevelt. It
was inevitable that President Taft, as
candidate for denomination and the
collateral vote of approval, must quit
the defensive and assume the aggres-
sive, and the result is the broadside he
delivered in Boston last night.
But what will be the next event in
sequence. None can doubt the expe-
dition with which Colonel Roosevelt
will launch his counter attack. To
doubt would be to confess a lack of
knowledge of the energetic and strenu-
Gus leader. He will return blow for
blow and every atom of his virile and
vigorous nature will be exerted to
make his counter the stronger. To
turn the other cheek is not one of his
characteristics. His fighting blood
will be up and his return to the
charge will be with surcharged
energy. No less will be expected of
him.
Interesting reading as this conflict
of the two great political champions
will afford, the thoughtful of the
people must be impressed with the
seriousness of the consequences to
both. This is the beginning of a
battle without quarter. It is a duel
to the death in political sense. It
is doubtful whether either of these re-
doubtable champions can survive the
wounds which will be inflicted before
the combat terminates. Such an in
famed state of feeling will be estab-
lished between President Taft and
Colonel Roosevelt and their respec-
tive supporters that it looks like a
hopeless task to undertake to unite
them in support of either, should
either prove the choice of the Chicago
convention. Such a chasm will yawn
between them that attempt at copcilia-
ton, and union in the battle with
the forces of democracy seem futile at
this time.
There have already been vague init
nations of compromise candidate
as necessary to party success. If the
bitterness of feeling engendered prior
to this time had been sufficient to
suggest the expediency of a candidacy
free from these troublous associa-
tons, there is little room to doubt,
after the Boston speech, that the sug-
gestion will take added weight and
cause thoughtful republicans to look
askance at the probability of electing
either Roosevelt or Taft in the event
either is chosen at the national as
semblage at Chicago.-Pioneer Press.

Town Clerk Town of South Harbor.
The state road and bridge fund is
derived mainly from the one-quarter
of mill state road and bridge tax;
this tax is augmented slightly by the
income from the internal Improvement
land fund, five per cent of the pro-
ceeds Of the sales of government lands
and a few hundred dollars from fines
for violations Of the dairy laws. The
total for the year 1912 will not exceed
1926, 1000. The Union of March 18th
contained the apportionment of the
fund for 1912 by counties-Mille Laos
received $4,000. That $4,000 will be
apportioned by the county COM
missioners, and it must be expended
on roads which have been designated
as state highways, but only one-half
the cost of constructing Or improving
any road can be paid by the state.
In other words, the county must ex-
pend $4,000 in order to get the states
$4,000, and the work must be done
according to the requirements of the
state highway commission and to the
satisfaction OF the deputy state engi-
neer.
There is no such thing as "dollar
for dollar'' state aid for all road
work performed. Mile Laos county
can only get $4,000 from the state for
the year 1912, and wherever any part
OF that $4,000 is expended the county
must expend an equal amount. For
instance: if the county commissioners
should apportion $500 of the state
road and bridge fund to the town of
South Harbor, to be expended on a
certain state highway within that
town, at least $500 would have to be
expended on that highway by the
county in order to get the state aid
1000 Or more might be expended by
the county but $500 must be expended.
The misunderstanding with refer
ence to the "dollar for dollar' state
aid arises from misconception of
the provisions of the mongrel Elwell
law, so-called. That measure pro-
vides that the state may defray half
the cost of a state rural highway.
But it is not worth while to discuss
that law as it is not applicable to the
case under consideration.
The state highway commission must
deal with counties. It would be i'm
possible for the commission to deal
with the towns. Mile Laos county
has not a sufficient road and bridge
fund to meet the states appropria-
ton. Hence it will be necessary for
the towns to assist. But that is a
matter that can easily be arranged.
Presenting that South Harbor was to
receive $500 of tho state aid and the
county commissioners could appropri-
ate only $3.50, the town of South Har-
Dor could appropriate the other $3.50,
or the entire $500 if necessary,

coroner and the constable to come up

for them to question me, l began fir
ing questions hot-shot at them, sug-
costing things for them to do, simple
things that would have been the first
thought of the police of New York or
any other large city, but which they
had not thought of. Had they tele-
phoned description of the woman to
the Bridgeport police with her name
to see if she could be identified as
any one who was missing from that
city? Had they examined her clothing
to See if there was any mark on it that
might identify her? Had they studied
her writing on the register to see II 1t
gave any indication of being assumed
or disguised? Had they examined her
pocketbook to see if it contained any
clue to a motive? Had they consid-
cred whom she might have come to
this town to see?

the coroner. Suppose you do it
