OLD SETTLERS MEET
And Enjoy Their Annual Picnic in
the Diedrich Grove, South of
the Village of Milaca.
Indian Dances and a Ball Game Two
OF the Principal Features of
the Big Celebration.

y The members of the Mile Laos
County Old Settlers association
gave their annual picnic in the Die
drich grove, south of Milaca, on Sun
day and there were about 1850 per-
sons present to enjoy the program,
which was very elaborate and which
time would not permit in carrying
out in it's entirety. The day was an
ideal one for the picnic and the peo-
pie in attendance were we'll enter
tanned.
One of the leading features of the
celebration was contingent of Mile
Laos Indians under the leadership of
the famous chief, Wadena. who gave
exhibitions of various dances. They
were motley lot-braves: squaws
and papooses- arrayed in all the
fnery of their tribe, and they at
tracted much attention throughout
the day. A liberal sum of money
was presented to them in apprecia-
tion of the entertainment they fur
nished the gathering.
Music was furnished for the occa-
sion by the Milaca Military band "a
splendid organization of musicians
which enlivened the proceedings
with the latest selections. Arrange
ments had been made for addresses.
but this was unavoidably omitted as
the speakers failed to appear.
O'Neil and Maple Leaf played a
game Of ball in meadow adjoining
the picnic grounds. and this proved
great drawing card. One of the
Indians, Charley Jackson, played in
the game and did some good work.
The contest was won by O'Neil in a
score of Is to 5.
An election of officers for the en-
suing year was held by the Old Set
tiers association and the following
were chosen: President, Fay GRAY
ems: vice president, Grant Weatherly
secretary and treasurer, G. H. Dahl
strom; directors. Harry Shockley,
Princeton: Peter Lynch, Foreston
Otto Anderson, Hayland: Nels M.

Notes of Travel.

We left Minneapolis on June 80 by
way of the Burlington route, &C.
cupying the observation car. For
300 miles we looked out upon the
Mississippi, the "Father of Waters"
1t is truly a majestic river, stretch
ing away for 1900 miles, with it's
tributaries, bearing on it's bosom
the commerce, not only of this re-
public but of the known world. AS
Minnesota faded from our view we
passed Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois
and caught a passing glimpse of
Iowa. Then later we entered the
state of Michigan. The crops look
fine in Indiana, but the crops in
Minnesota surpass them ALL 1t is
without doubt the best state in the
union
We halted the first night in Chi
cago, the giant city Of the west.
The next night we stopped in De-
troit, Michigan, and the following
morning we left for London, Canada.
Our next stop was at ST. Marys, the
home of Mrs. Services parents, a
beautiful town situated on the river
Thames. In this town I preached
in the First Presbyterian church in
the morning of July -, and in the
evening in Knox church, to large
congregations. I took for my text in
the morning, ''The Lever That
Moves the World" and in the even
ing, THE Worlds Greatest Need. "
drawing illustrations from history
and the events of life. When Ma
poleon toured Italy for men of war he
exclaimed, "Great God, how hard
it is to find man. Everywhere
women are in the majority, go, 900 in
Minnesota, 10000 in New York and
$4,000 in the Dakotas. In every
vocation men are wanted-in the
political realm, in the educational
world, and in the church. But the
world is moving on and soon we
shall reach the goal-the browning
of the brotherhood of man.
We are enjoying our vacation and
shall reach home the first of August
to assume the duties of the church.

Another Fire on North Side.

A house in north Princeton, owned
and occupied by W. H. Wheeler,
with it's entire contents, burned at
midnight on Saturday. The fire was
caused by lamp which Mr.. Wheeler
dropped upon the floor. An in
surance of 500 was carried on the
building with G.. A. Eaton and $500
on the furniture with Guy Ewing.
Only Is minutes elapsed between
the time the phone cali was re-
ceived at the power house and the
fire department. was at the scene of
the blaze, and the distance was nine
and half blocks. This is particu-
larry quick time for a volunteer fire
department at a midnight call.

there we're various amusements, in
Guiding a ball game in which the
young ladies of the party came out
victorious. Vic Ossell took numer-
GUS snapshots of the party and Don
Sausser came near drowning while
endeavoring to duck a girl in the
lake. There were boating excursions
to the opposite shore and, perhaps.
lovemaking in the sequestered hooks.
All of the clerks were able to appear
at the store on Monday morning, but
an odor of liniment prevailed and
bandages and court plaster were also
in evidence, to say nothing of a
general lameness. Take it altogether
they had a grand time and are con-
templating another picnic in the
near future.

A He-Suffrafette Club?

There is story atloat to the effect
that a he-suffragette club will be
organized in the village of Princeton
and that the leader has already been
decided upon. Representative Hefin
of Alabama calls the he-suffragette
sufragettor, and defines him as
"a feeble-minded, woodenheaded
creature. - Not so bad, but we were
inclined to the opinion that he
suffragette was person who pro-
fessed to be friend of female fran
chise so that he could cajole the old
henrlettas into voting for him in
case he ran for office on a ticket

From the Battlefield of GETTYSBURG.

Mrs. G. H. Rines has received a
souvenir which she values very
highly. 1t is an ear of wheat from
the battlefield of Gettysburg which
was plucked by Dr. Tarbox during
the recent encampment and for
warded to Mrs. Rines from New
York. The late Charles Rines Mrs.
Rlnes' husband) was one of the
heroes of the battle of Gettysburg
and member Of the famous First
Minnesota regiment. A peculiar
coincidence in connection with this
ear OF grain is that at the time of
the great battle there was a wheat
field where the soldiers fought and
that Mr.. Rines had sometimes
spoken of this when relating Incl
dents of the conflict.
Mrs. Rines intends planting the
kernels from the ear of wheat next
Year.

Summer School Picnic.

On Thursday, July "a, between
the hours of 2 and 1880, the ':skule-
maarms'' played t1uant, and enticed
the instructors to 60 with them to
the banks of Rum river for an out
ing. This day had been set apart
from the rest for a good time, and
all played their parts in a good-time
way.
One of the leading attractions was
a ball game between the Fats and
Leans, consisting Of girls, for boys
were minus quantity. Ida May
Schmidt was captain of the Fats
and Alta Reichard captain of the
Leans. The heavyweights consisted
of Emma Rosin, pitcher; Gertrude
Orne, catcher; Zelpha Erstad, first
base: Maize Mott, second base
Hattie Van Rhee, third base
Dorothy Dickey, left field: Ida May
Schmidt, right field; Mary Shockley,
short stop; Karen Uglem, center
field.
The lightweights were the follow
ing: Alta Reichard, right field
Clara Rosin, pitcher: Sarah Schur-
rer, catcher: Anna Aleckson, first
base; Laurena Jesmer, second base ::
Hildur Lofgren, third base; Anna
Coleman short stop; Ella Homme,
left field; and Olga Teutz, center
field. ..-
The game played between these
two mines was equal to any league
game. Supt. Ewing was umpire.
and although few of the wild balls
pitched kept him jumping, he was
able to keep calm and render good
decisions. AS the decision was. in
favor of the Fats, many Leans were
inclined to dispute that Mr.. Ewing,
on account of his own natural size,
showed great favoritism, but this
was disproved by the rooters, who,
led by Mrs. Ewing and Miss Anna
Whiting, voted in favor of the Fats.
The star player of the Fats, Capt.
Schmidt, made two thrilling runs.

LOCAL BALL GAMES
First Team Defeats Caley's Colts in a
Fast Game at Fair Grounds by
Score of Four to Two.
St. Clouds New Clothes Aggregation
However, Gets Champions
Goat in Sundays Game.

By the close score of 2 to the
Princeton first team defeated Caley's
Colts at the local ball yard last Fri
day. The game was the best exhibit
tion Of the national pastime seen on
the home grounds for some time and
it was so close throughout that it
was anybody's game until it was
over. Wilkes of Columbia Heights
was on the firing line for the Colts
and pitched his usual good game be-
sides hitting out home run and a
double. Joe Porter did the heavy
work for the locals and had the Colts
we'll in hand throughout the contest.
They threatened to break loose on
several occasions but Joe would
tighten up when necessary and,
aided by good support, kept the
youngsters back safe distance in
their offensive game.
Neither side was able to score in
the first two innings, but in the
third inning the first team took a
lead of one run when Bill Roos hit
safe for one base, and finally worked
his passage around to the registering
station for the first run of the game
The Colts failed to score until the
fifth, when Berg led off with hit
which eventually ripened into score
for the Youngsters. The first team
did not appear to relish tied score,
so in their half of the fifth they
sneaked over one more run and took
the lead again by this narrow
margin. But in the sixth the first
team opened up little and, aided
by few misplays Of the Colts. pro-
ceeded to put the game away for
keeps by scoring two more runs,
thus making four their total for the
day. In the ninth inning Wilkes
drove one to deep center, which
wallop proved good for a home run
and brought the total score up to 4
to 2.

Work on ArmorY Practically Completed.

The work on the armory is prac-
tically completed and the contract
ors,s Sch]egel & Drescher, are en-
titled to considerable commentator
for the manner in which they have
executed the work. The armory is
one of the very best in the state
a structure that our citizens gen.
orally are proud of. There are
those, however, who always oppose
permanent improvements, but, we
are pleased to say, they are in the
minority in the village of Princeton.
Captain Johnson tells US that the
public dedication will not take place
until later in the season, when the
weather is cooler, and it goes with
out saying that the event will be
celebrated with due appropriateness.

Princeton Versus St. Cloud.

The first team came to grief at the
fair grounds last Sunday when they
tackled the New Clothes team from
St. Cloud and were returned the
losers by the score of s to 3. Skeats.
an imported article from Sank
Rapids, was chucking them over for
the visitors and pitched the best
game of ball seen on the local lot
this season. The best the Prince
tonians could do with his evaslye
slants and kinks was two hits. and
both of these went to Bill Roos, the
rest OF the locals being unable to
solve Skeats' twisters. While
Skeats was having an easy time of
it with the home talent. Fullwiler
was having troubles of his own in
trying to get the range of the plate.
The local boy was wild and seemed
to be unable to get control of his
fast ball enough to keep the visitors
from violating the anti-pass law.
His Wildness cost him the game, but
when he did get control of the ball
and was able to get it over the plate
he had the SANITY City lads backing
away from his fast ones and chop
ping the air. In the eighth inning
Commodore Porter was sent in to
relieve the strain and Joe finished
the game without further scoring.

NOTES..

This was the second game lost by
the locals out of II games played.
Heine Plaas called the balls and
strikes Sunday and Cliff Cravens
called the close ones on the bases.
Not a protest was raised by either
side on the decisions of the umpires.
The bat and bat sack offered bv
the Evens Hardware Co. for the
player of either side making the
longest safe hit in the game was
grabbed by Kiklas, the visitors center
fielder. A two-base drive in the
third round brought him the pre-
MUM.
Ihe only way we can account for
the poor batting Of the locals is the
fact that they were all after the bat
premium and swung their heads off
trying to knock out home run.
Bill Roos was the big noise of the
day for the home guard, as he got the
only two hits made, scored two runs,
and stole enough bases to start a
wholesale sporting goods house.
A return game was arranged with
this same team and will be pulled off
at the Princeton grounds on Sunday.
August "A. With the pitching on a
par this should prove an interesting
battle, as the teams appear about
evenly matched otherwise.
Next Sunday the locals Journey

FOR THOSE WHO OWN HORSES.

Never hire a cheap man to work good
pair Of horses, says Matilda Miller in Our
Four-footed Friends. II will mean loss
every time. A bright. intelligent man. a
good manager. and close observer, will
save more than his wages in the amount
of work he will accomplish, and in main
tanning the condition OF his team.
II there were fewer whips in the world.
there would be fewer ugly horses The
horse that is being tapped with the whip
all the time. never knows what his mas
ter means by il, and he comes to think
that he means just nothing.
A team of horses is just rs much en-
titled to one days rest in seven as .
man.
No creatures appreciate a comfortable
place to rest after a hard days work
more than the work teams. Therefore.
there should always be a liberal supply
Of bedding. II is most essential that the
stable should be kept well cleaned and
well ventilated.
We have often wondered why the box
stall is not in more general use than II Is.
The close-quartered. partitioned stall,
where the faithful animals are brought.
haitered, to stand for days and nights at
time, should be banished forever. and
the well-littered. roomy boxstall should
be substituted, where the weary animals
may have freedom and rest.
1t has been generally observed that
wire screens serve rather to keep flies
in a stable than to keep them out.
Stock journals recommend removing
the window sash from each window. and
then mailing laths or strips OF wood. six
or eight inches apart. across the opening
Of the window frame on the outside.
Then at the top of each frame on the in
side a sack is tackled, the height and
width Of the frame. The strips Of wood
prevent the curtain from blowing out
ward, and therefore, as the curtain
moves to and fro, 1t Is blown inward.
The insects fly toward the opening. and
as the curtain drops back IL carries the
flies with 1t. The same device may be
applied to the stabbed door. The door
may be removed and a skeleton door.
fitted with cross pieces, put in.
Owners who have tried this method
claim that in a short time after the
horses have been taken into the barn,
there VIII scarcely be heard the stamp Of
a hoof or the swish of tail.
