Former Sheriff Opdycke Dead.

Former Sheriff Elisha W. Opdycke
died at his home in Frenchtown on
Monday afternoon. aged about IS
years. Mr.. Opdycke had been in
poor health for several months and
the last few weeks he had been con-
fined to his home. For some DAYS
previous to his death he was in a
semi. conscious condition, due to the
gradual weakening of his vitality.
His death therefore, was not unex-
pected.
MIR. Opdycke was one of the best
known men in Hunterdon county.
He was prominent as Democrat and
was one Of the leaders in the councils
of his party in this county. Some
years ago he served as Mayor of
Frenchtown and in 1905 he was elect
ed Sheriff of Hunterdon county. Mr..
Opdycke was probably best known as
a horse dealer, he having established
an extensive business in the sale and
exchange OF horses at Frenchtown.
Within the past few years hundreds
of horses have been sold at his stables
and the fact that he dealt honestly
with his customers is attested by the
fact that he was never, so far as our
knowledge goes, made defendant in
a lawsuit because some customer did
not receive his moneys worth. Mr..
Opdycke leaves wife, one son, e.
Dale Opdycke. of Frenchtown, and
one daughter, Mrs. Emily Gingling,
of Trenton.
Funeral services were held at the
Frenchtown nj. f. church Thursday
afternoon at $50, Interment in

Farmers Train.

Despite the unfavorable weather,
many farmers and others along the
Belvidere division of the Pennsylvania
railroad responded on Friday to the
visits made by the agricultural special
train at the varions scheduled stations.
The train made its first stop at Milford,
where about sixty persons boarded the
lecture and exhibit cars and heard
talk on dairy feeding by Prof Cook
and increasing poultry profits by Prot.
Clark.
After visiting Frenchtown, Stockton
and Titusville, the train proceeded to
Remington, where a meeting was held
in the Court House in the evening.
A good sized crowd was present and
listened to DIR. j. G. Lipman, director
of the State College, and Prot. Clark
The former had for his subject "Soi

Farmers Creamertes Win.

In a decision handed down on Fri.
day of last week the state supreme
court upholds the law prohibiting dis
elimination in the purchase of butter.
fat and cream by offering higher
prices at one point than at another. in
the same territory. The decision will
be hailed by the stockholders of CO.
operative creameries with delight, as
the law was passed largely through
the instrumentality of these concerns
as a means of protecting them
against the large centralizing con-
Germs of the cities.
The cooperative creameries repre-
sented to the legislators that the
centralizers made a practice of Offer
ing more than the market price OF
cream at points where they competed
with local creameries for the purpose
of depriving these local concerns OF
cream and thereby driving them out
of business. When this was &C.
complished, it was declared, the CEN
tralizers fixed price on cream and
butterfat always below the market
quotations. The law prohibits the
offering of a higher price for cream
and butterfat at one point than at
another in the same territory, taking
transportation rates into considera-
ton. --.
The first prosecution under the law
was against the Bridgeman & Russell
company of Duluth, who, it was
charged, paid discriminatory prices
at various points in Pine county.
The company was fined but appealed
to the supreme court upon the ques-
tion of the constitutionality of the
law

pitiable plight, and much of this has
been brought about by the Clapp
amendment, which permitted the red
men to sell their allotments. In
many of the novels visited by the
congressman the occupants had
nothing but monographs, old sewing
machines and trinkets to show for the
valuable lands which they at one time
possessed. The situation is pathetic.
Robbed of their birthright by un-
scrupulous, designing whites, these
poor children of the forest are re-
duced to abject poverty, disease is
rapidly spreading among them and
they are practically left to perish
without helping hand.
Congressman George, after visiting
the novels at Pine Point, remarked,
"This is hell. It is terrible indict-
ment against somebody. 1t was
Thomas Jefferson who said, when |
reflect there is a just God I tremble
for my country.
The conditions exposed by the two
congressman are disgrace to the
United States government.

Death of Mrs. Pappenhausen.

Mrs. Henry Pappenhausen died at
her home in the town of Greenbush,
on Friday, February l6, aged SO
years 10 months. About three years
ago she sustained a paralytic stroke
and never fully recovered from the
effects.
Funeral services we're conducted by
Rev. Eugene Ali in the Princeton
German Lutheran church on Monday
afternoon and the remains we're laid
to rest in the Lutheran cemetery.
Mrs. Pappenhausen was born in
Germany on April 81, 1851, and was
married in that country on October
Is, 1889. With her husband, she came
to the United States in 1898, first To-
eating in Chicago. In 1899 the family
came to Mile Laos county and settled
on farm in the town of Greenbush,
where Mrs. Pappenhausen passed
away. She is survived by her
husband, three sons, two daughters
and eight grand children, besides two
sisters and a brother. She was a
good christian woman who was highly
respected by all who knew her.

BAND MAKES BIG HIT.
Concert Draws a Crowded House and
Proves to be a Musical Event
of rlarked Excellence.
Both Band and Orchestra Are Orpani-
cations Composed of Players
Possessing Much Talent.

AS the Union predicted, the concert
at Brands opera house last Thursday
night eclipsed anything of a similar
nature ever presented to Princeton
audience-it was musical event that
would have done credit to profession
ais. That every number on the pro-
gram was appreciated was fully mani
tested by the applause which followed
the conclusion of each selection and
the words Of praise from people rec
ognized as musical critics. The pro-
gram was arranged with view OF
pleasing the diversified tastes of the
multitude and those who prepared it
succeeded in their aim.
Part one of the concert was dis
coursed by the Citizens band, under
the direction of Professor G. c..
Heinzeman, a musician who ranks
among the leading instructors of the
state, and the members of the organi-
cation demonstrated by their excellent
rendition Of the numbers selected that
they possess more than ordinary tai
ent and are capable of correctly exc
cutting the most difficult compositions.
Part two consisted of vocal solo,
sung in the Italian language, by Mrs.
Claire Atwell Galley. The title of the
selection was "Le Parlate da' Amor, -
and it proved to be one of the most
delightful songs ever rendered by this
talented artist. Tremendous applause
followed the rendition and Mrs. Galley
reappeared and favored the audience
with another pretty vocal solo.
Part three consisted of variety of
selections by the Princeton orchestra,
directed by Albert Moe, and the boys
and girls in this organization per-
formed upon their various instru-
ments in an admirable manner-they
showed both talent and excellent
training. The orchestral portion of
the concert was inspiring and was
highly appreciated. --~-~~~
Following the concert dance was
given and the hall was fairly alive
with trippers of the light fantastic
toe, who danced to the enchanting
strains of the Citizens band.
Princeton is fortunate in having
such excellent musical organizations
as the Citizens band and the Prince
ton orchestra, and the people should
not only appreciate this fact but
tender to them liberal support.

No Risk In Buying Good Land.

For several weeks the advisability
of establishing poor farm has been
discussed, pro and con, in the
columns of the Cambridge Indepen-
dent-Press. Caring for the poor is a
serious question in many of the
smaller counties. Here in Mile Laos
county we are experimenting with a
poor farm. If it is discovered that
the farm does not result in a saving
to the Taxpayers in caring for the
poor, the farm can easily be disposed
of for what it cost. AS long as the
county does not go to the expense of

The Sabbath School Convention.

The district Sunday school conven-
tion conducted by Mrs. Dietrich of St.
Paul, state field secretary, at the
Methodist church last Thursday AFTER
noon and evening, was attended by a
good many delegates from the sur
rounding country and the program
presented was very interesting one.
Mrs. Dietrich is a very able speaker
and handled her subject, "Cradle
ROll,' in a manner that elected much
praise. The musical part of the pro-
gram, including song by the small
children of the Sunday school, a
vocal solo by Miss Christine Wicen,
and a vocal duet by Mrs. Larson and
Mrs. Service, was exceptionally good.
Rev. Larson gave talk on "Sun-
day Schools and Missions," showing
their growth and the good which they
have accomplished, which proved
very instructive, and Miss Margaret
I. King delivered an excellent
address on "Teachers' Training
Classes" This is one of Miss
Kings very best subjects-a subject
to which she has given deal of study
and with which she is perfectly
familiar.
The convention proved a source of
much value to those interested in
Sunday school and educational work.

DOane Has Made Good,

There is at least one county officer
who will meet with little or no op-
position. We refer to the county
auditor.
Auditor Doane is serving his first
term and he has made good, and he
certainly is entitled to second term.
The business of the county auditors
office-the most important of all the
county offces-was never more salts
factorily conducted than by Mr..
Doane and his efficient deputy, Mr..
Walter Peltier. It is not every man
who can acceptably fill the position
of county auditor. Both the present
auditor and his deputy are efficient,
courteous and accommodating.
