Baseball Club Organizes,

Immediately after the caucus at
the court house on Friday evening
baseball enthusiasts organized a club
and Clarence Hill, DR.. McRae and
Fred Newton were chosen as board
of directors: they to appoint their
president. W. G Doane was selected
as playing manager, to arrange for
games, transportation, etc. The
team will consist solely of, home boys,
and it is predicted that it will be the
strongest aggregation ever brought
together in this village. There is
plenty of material for an excellent
baseball club in Princeton, and this
year the boys are evidently more en-
thusiastic than ever-they are deter.
mined to vanquish every other team
in Mile Laos and surrounding coun.
ties.

Rabies in Wvanett.

DR.. Mcdonald. state field veteri-
marian, arrived here from St. Paul
last Friday and proceeded to Wya-
nett to investigate the existence of
rabies at that place. The fact that
one of the Guderian boys was bitten
by pet dog, the head of which was
sent to the university and the ami
NAL declared to be affected with ra-
bies, was the reason for DR.. McDon-
AIDS visit. The doctor killed nearly
a dozen dogs in Wyanett, which
were said to have been bitten by the
Guderian dog, as matter of precau-
tion. Young Guderian is at the uni
versity Pasteur Institute, to which
place he was taken directly after be-
ing bitten.
During his stay in Princeton DR..
Mcdonald was guest of DR.. G. S.
Neumann, an old-time friend of his.

praise of the Byers' administration,
and Mr.. Terrell compared this ad-
ministra tion with that of the Pen
nison regime, producing statistics
which convincingly showed up the
last named in it's true colors showed
that the Pennison council did not
conduct the affairs of the village to
the best interest of the taxpayers.
On the other hand he proved that
the Byers' council had been econom-
ical and that it had done it's duty
in every particular.
DR.. G. S. Neumann then placed in
nomination r. D. Byers for presi-
dent and D. A. McRae, L. c. Hum
mel and A. M. Davis for trustees.
The nominations were seconded by
T. h. Galley and he moved that they
be passed upon by rising vote. The
vote$was virtually unanimous. Earl
W. Hatch was nominated for record
er, Alfonso Howard for assessor,
Henry Plaas for treasurer, A. z.
Norton for justice of the peace and
Chas. Bulls for constable.

friends r. G. Dunn addressed large
public gathering at the opera house
on Monday evening and talked on
various matters of interest. J. J..
Skahen called the meeting to order.
and DR.. Cooney was selected chair
man and Earl Hatch secretary. Fol-
lowing two selections by the Boys
band, rendered IN an admirable man
ner. Mr.. Dunn commenced his ad-
dress.
He first touched briefly upon vii
lage matters, upon the two elements
which made up it's citizens and said
he believed in good local govern
ment. He praised Robt. D. Byers
and said that under his presidency
the affairs of the village had been
honestly administered and that no
mistake could be made in again re-
turning him to office. He then ex-
planned the light and power bill,
which had been misrepresented for
an Interior purpose by a Princeton
individual who endeavored to cover
up his identify under the pseudonym
of "a Taxpayer, and INDUCED in a
little sarcasm at the expense of DR..
T. L. Armitage. Mr.. Dunn then
elucidated the county assessor
bill and the initiative and referen-
dunn.
He said he had been asked by DR..
Armitage to oppose the telephone
transmission, or physical connection
bill, measure which makes it COM
pulsory upon telephone companies
to connect with other lines in order
to transmit messages to persons de-
sired to reach. AS he considered
this bill beneficial to the public at
large, Mr.. Dunn said he intended
voting for it's passage.
The eastman distance tariff bill
was briefly touched upon by the
speaker and he said he intended sup.
porting it as it was evidently fail
measure-it eQualized freight rates
throughout the state. Mr.. Dunn
then took up the good roads bill,
told how he, together with Assistant
Attorney General Weeks and Mr..
Cooley of the state highway commits.
sion, had worked seven weeks con-
tinuously in drafting the measure,
and pointed out the beneficial effect
it would have if enacted into law.
Some sections of the bill, said Mr.
Dunn, are receiving opposition in
the senate, but he entertained
strong hopes that it would pass.
E. L. Mcmillan then eulogized the
work of Superintendent Randall, and
! Mr.. Dunn concluded the evening" s
proceedings by again saying a few
words in praise of R. D. Byers and
advising the citizens to vote for the
men who would work for the best
interests Of the village.

VILLAGE ELECTIONS
Robert D. Byers Elected President OF
Princeton Village and License
Proposition Is Carried.
Returns From Other Villages in Mile
Laos County Forwarded by
Special Correspondents.

Election day passed off very quietly
in the village of Princeton and, it
being an ideal day, large vote was
cast-402 against $50 cast at the cleo
tion in 1912. The fact that a stat
ute now prohibits the distribution of
tickets on the streets added largely
to the smoothness with which the
election was conducted. Heretofore
the street-corner peddler of tickets
invariably constituted a nuisance
and never proved of material help
to any candidate. The battle was
apparently good-natured although
it was waged with quiet determi-
nation.
It was generally conceded that the
ticket headed by Robert D. Byers
would be elected and, with two ex-
captions, this proved to be correct.
The exceptions were tive Offices of
treasurer and justice of the peace, in
which Henry Plaas was defeated by
J. G. Herdliska and A. z. Norton by
II. Ii. FOX.
The reelection of r. D. Byers, L..
G. Hummel and A. M. Davis is a
splendid Endorsement of good gov
ernment-it shows that the ma
jority of the citizens are we'll salts
fed with the 1912 administration and
desire no change. Alfonso Howard
was reelected assessor and Earl w.
Hatch elected recorder.
On the license question the ''wets"
won by small margin-7 votes.
The total vote cast for license was
POO and against license 1873, but there
were two tickets unmarked and three
voters cast no ballot on the propo-
sition, which makes a total against
it of 1913. 1t required majority of
all votes CASTOR 2O2-to carry the
proposition.
The dog license question, sub.
mitted to ascertain the sentiment of
the people, resulted in a vote favor
ing the licensing Of CANNES.
The vote on the village candidates
is hereunder given in detail:

Money received by town treasurer from

A perusal Of this statement will
show that the township treasury is
in good condition-it gives an idea
of the economical manner in which
the business affairs have been ad-
ministered, and credit is due the
board of supervisors therefor.
By unanimous vote it was decided
to appoint no .poundmaster for the
ensuing year and to make no change
either in the bulletin boards or guide
posts.
A motion was unanimously carried
that 81, 900 be levied for road and
bridge purposes and 1897 for current

PRICES MOVE WITHIN
VERY NARROW LIMITS
Little Speculative Feeling in
Evidence and Little Busi-
ness Done i'm Cotton

New Orleans, July 10-The price of cot
ton moved sluggishly within narrow limits
today. Little speculative feeling was in
evidence, and little business was done.
The one feature of interest OF the day
was the receipt of the first bale of the new
crop at Houston. 1t was forwarded from
Cameron county, Texas, and was week
later than the first bale of last year. 1t
caused little selling because 1t was ac-
companied by the report that much cotton
was about to open. and that in few days
many new bales would come on the mar
ket.
The opening was steady, with prices un-
changed to points down, compared with
Yesterdays close on poor cables and the
news regarding the Balkan situation, the
weather indicated that good rains had
fallen in Arkansas, which has been need
ing rain for some time. and they stimu-
lated selling of the new crop months. Lit
tie interest was taken in the old crops
at any stage of the session. In the early
trading prices went to a level points
under yesterdays close, but later the mar
ket recovered and toward noon stood to
points over Yesterdays last quotations.
In the afternoon the market was dull and
had an inclination to sag. The close was
steady at a net loss of 8 to points.
