Fined for Illegally Selling Liquor.

Henry Uglem Of Long Siding was
arrested on Monday morning by
Sheriff Shockley and in the afternoon
brought before Justice Dickey upon
a charge of illegally selling malt liq-
uor. The defendant pleaded guilty
and was fined S29. Is and costs, which
amounted in all to $50. For. several
weeks. complaints had reached the
ears of the authorities that a blind
pig was being operated in the Long
Siding pool room, and about 10 days
ago the sheriff told Uglem he had
been Informed that he (Uglem) was
selling liquor Illegally. At the same
time the sheriff warned Uglem that
if he obtained sufficient evidence
against him he should arrest him.
A few days thereafter the necessary
evidence was obtained in the shape
of three bottles of nahum, purchased
by two different men, and the arrest,
which resulted as stated above, fol-

Ed. Saxon's Warehouse Burns.

Early on Wednesday morning Ed
Saxon's warehouse, containing about
four carloads of potatoes, was ut
terly destroyed by fire. The fire
alarm sounded at about 2 80 and the
apparatus was rushed to the scene,
but it was only possible to utilize
the chemical engine in consequence
of the distance between the ware
house and the nearest hydrant.
When the ladies arrived the entire
upper part of the warehouse, was
ablaze and it was impossible to sub
due the great volume of fire.
Marshal Blair was the first to ar
rive at the warehouse, and he found
that the staple from one of the win
dows had been pulled out and that
the lock was missing. The marshal
entered the building and succeeded
in bringing out II sacks of potatoes
before the interior became too hot
for him. ~ -..a. ..v. $751;:
AS no stoves we're being operated
in the warehouse the cause of the
fire, which started in the upper part
of the building, is mystery.
An insurance of $4,000 on the
building and 81. 500 on the stock was
carried in companies represented by
Guy Ewing.

Milaca Summer Training School.

The state department OF education
has again placed Mile Laos county
on the list for a teachers training
school. The term will open in the
high school building, Milaca, and
continue every week day for four
weeks. Subjects will be taken up
as called for by teachers, including
the common branches of study, and
any studies necessary to secure first
grade certificates. Competent men
and women have been selected for
the work and every available detail
that will add to the efficiency of the
course will be closely observed.
Our schools in this county have all
been of high standard, and it is the
determination of those having this
years work in hand to make this
year eclipse the preceding ones
Model work will receive daily at
tention, and this is one of the most
essential features for those who
must have all grades to supervise
and teach as is the case in our rural
schools. Special instructors will be
provided for agriculture and other
important things that are now called
for in the rural course of study.
1t is sometimes urged upon teach
ers to attend schools away from
home with superior advantages,
larger forces of instructors and a
wider range of studies, which, if you
stop to consider, are somewhat myth
ical-a mirage. as it proves when
you reach the scene of the gilded
dream. There are hundreds enrolled
in the large centers, and many are
needed to take charge of them, but
the proportion of students to-. the
numbers of the faculty is far in ex-
cess of what it is in the less preten-
tious, but just as well systematized,
schools in the smaller towns. An
other glitter that is offered is credits
that you may obtain to apply toward
getting certificate.
Apply yourselves carefully in the
home school to studies Of your own
selection, take the examination at
the close, attain the required marks
of Is, and you have a permanent
mark that you know you have faith
fully earned.
At the end of the term, and dur
ing its session you will be in close
touch with the school boards of this
and adjoining counties, and have
ample opportunity Of talking with
board members as to positions for

THE TABLES TURNED
Princeton Highs Redeem Themselves
in Fast Game Played In
the Enemy's Territory.
Indications That Student Team Will
Hang Numerous Scalps On Belt
Ere the Season Closes.

Last Saturday the local high school
team contested for baseball suprem-
acy with Anoka in a close and excit-
ing game played on the latter's dia-
mond. The locals had been defeated
upon the preceding Saturday by the
down-river team and had practiced
sedulously to insure victory in the
next combat. This was achieved.
Princeton's team work was especi-
ally we'll developed, and the boys
worked together with vim and
vigor which their opponents could
not successfully withstand.
Berg of Princeton scored in the
first inning, and in the third each
team tailed once. Up to the eighth
inning the score stood to l, when
Princeton again, with gust Of
rapid safe hits, scored four runs
while Anoka scored twice in it's half
and, as neither tailed in the ninth,
the score stood 6 to 3 in Princeton's
favor.
''Fish' pitched a steady game
throughout and several times, when
there were men on bases, by clever
twirling, avoided run. Berg and
Umbehocker also played an excep-
tionally good game-the latter's base
throwing was accurate and Anoka
was therefore very cautious and
timid in its attempt to steal second.

Comments of London Papers.

London, April 24.-The London
morning papers comment in an iron
ical vein on the dealings of President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan with
Mexico. The Standard compares
them to PHILOSOPHERS from Mars.
The Post says: They ought care
fully to have considered what sort
and size Of war they wanted before
they allowed shots to be fred. Pres
ident Wilson is now at war with both
halves of the Mexican people. How
by that war he can give the Mexi-
cans the self-government that seems
to him desirable we cannot imagine. =
The Daily News says: If the
Washington government was really
surprised at Carranza's ultimatum.
its surprise is not very creditable to
its craftsmanship and intelligence. -

The Trouble With Mexico.

More than week has elapsed
since .. S. marines, aided by the
guns of the fleet of q. S. war YES
sells, took possession Of Vera Cruz.
A score or so of our brave boys we're
killed and thrice as many wounded
in the taking Of the city. The Mex
lean losses were much greater. A
brigade Of American troops under
Brigadier General Funston now &C.
cupies the city and it's environs. No
further aggressive movement on the
part of the United States is contem-
plated at present.
The proposal of Argentina, Brazil
and Chile to mediate has. with re-
servations, been accepted by Presi-
dent Wilson, and Huerta has also
signifed his intention of accepting
the good offices of the three South
American countries: Carranza and
the Constitutionalists have given nc
intimation of what their intentions
are.
In the meantime the war between
Huerta's forces and the Constitu-
tionalists continues, and Tampico is
expected to fall into the hands OF
the Constitutionalists any day.
Small hopes are entertained at
Washington of anything definite
being accomplished by the ENJOYS OF
the three South American republics
in the way of securing an amicable
adjustment of the troubles, as it is
thought Huerta will not consent tc
be eliminated, and his elimination is
the one thing that President Wilson
insists upon.
The Constitut ionalist general, Car.
rama, has expressed his =disapprova]
Of the occupation of Vera Cruz by
United States forces. General Villa,
however, who is the real leader OF
the Constitutionalists, has repeat
edly expressed his approval of the
course pursued by this country. But
he is such consummate villain it is
impossible to tell what his real feel
ings are. The rank and file of the
Constitutionalists are said to be bit
terly hostile to the United States.
If the peace negotiations fail, as
is altogether probable, the United
States will eventually have to fight
both gangs Of cutthroats. A pro.
tracted war will follow.
The inevitable result will be the
triumph of American arms but al
an awful sacrifice of life and money
Then, what? Can stable, decent
government be established in Mex.
leo. and if so can such a government
be maintained save by a United
States army? Or will the United
States be obliged to annex the coun.
try?
| No matter what the outcome may
be. it is the duty of every ]oya
American citizen to stand by the
president. The motto of every true
American should be, right or wrong,
my country!

Residents of the southeastern cor

corner of Princeton township think,
and not without reason, that they
are neglected as far as road work is
concerned by their respective towns.
Every section Of township is enti-
tied to and should receive a square
deal. The least that the residents
of southeastern Greenbush and
southwestern Princeton have a right
to insist upon is that the town road
taxes raised in their respective local.
titles shall be expended upon the
roads in those localities. Town
boards should aim to be fair to every
section of their respective towns.

LATE MEXICAN NEWS
Medlat0rs Ask Armistice Between
United States and rlexico and
Huerta is Notified.
Carranza and Villa Agree to Remain
Neutral so Long as Their Ter.
rltory is Not Invaded.

Washington, April 29.-An armis-
tice in the difficulties between the
United States and Mexico has been
asked of this government and General
Huerta by the South American en-
voys who have undertaken to avert
war through mediation Ambassa-
dor DaGama of BRAZIL today notified
Secretary Bryan that this had been
determined upon as the next step in
the negotiations and that General
Huerta also had been notified.
The Japanese government, it has
developed. was asked and declined to
act for the Huerta administration
through it's diplomatic representa-
tives in Washington and it's consuls
in the United States prior to Mex
ico',s application to Spain to perform
this mission, which was accepted.
While the Japanese embassy declines
to confirm the report, it is known to
be well founded and to have given
great satisfaction to President Will
sons administration as significant
expression of Japan's friendliness
towards the United States.
Unless the thinly yelled intima-
lions of members of the administra.
tion in high position are altogether
misinterpreted, the United States
has decided upon the next important
step in case the pending attempt to
settle affairs in Mexico by media
tion fails. This is the recognition
in some form of the constitutionalist
government.
If mediation fails it is claimed
recognition of the constitutionalists
as belligerents would place them on
a footing where there could be an
open alliance between their military
forces and those of the United States
for the purpose of ousting Huerta
and quieting the country. This is
a feature, however, which nobody in
authority feels at liberty to discuss
in AWAY as long as the mediation
negotiations are in progress. s.-...
T Ell Paso, Texas, April 29.-The
tense situation that has existed
along the Nexican border was re-
lieved today by receipt of private
advices from constitutionalists in
Chihuahua that the conferences be-
tween General Carranza and Villa
have resulted in agreement that the
constitutionalists should act merely
as spectators in the trouble between
the United States and Huerta, so
long as there is no armed American
invasion Of constitutionalist terri
tory. The statements of President
Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan
that they are not making war on
Mexicans' but upon Huerta will be
accepted at their face value.

brigade was still aboard the trans
ports here today, while Brigadier

to the army. There was posi-
bility that the troops might be
landed today, but further delay until
