Inexcusable Carelessness.

The reformatory has lost, for two
years at least, its appropriation of
So, 900 for the reformatory road.
This item was in the printed SEN
ate bill, through the efforts of Sena-
tors j. D. Sullivan, R. G. Dunn and
Rockne, but in the enrolling of the
bill it was omitted by the clerks, and
is not in the bill presented to the
governor. 1t also appears that the
item Of $1,000 which Gov. Gilman
secured for the grounds of the st.
Cloud normal school was lost in the
same manner.
The contingent fund of ST., 1000 for.
the public examiner, and fund
greatly needed for the efficiency of
that office, was also lost by the care
lessness of either the engrossing or
enrolling clerks.

Progressive Business Men An.
swers Final Summons.
Funeral Services Will Be Conducted
Tomorrow Afternoon From the
Family Residence.

~ IS Will SluGeIe regret CnaC we
chronicle the death of L. c.. Hum
mel, which occurred at the North
western hospital yesterday shortly
before noon. Mr.. Hummel suffered
an acute attack of appendicitis while
in Minneapolis on Thursday evening
of last week. A physician of that
city was consulted and he diagnosed
the case to be merely stomach trou-
BILE. Mr.. Hummel returned to
Princeton the following evening, and
Immediately entered the Northwest
ern hospital. DR.. Cooney advised
that an operation be performed at
once, but was prevailed upon by the
patient to delay it until the follow
ing morning. When the operation
was performed it was very evident
that there were slight chances of
recovery. The appendix had burst
before the operation was performed
and widespread Inflammation of
the bowels had resulted. Hope was
not entirely abandoned until yester-
day morning, however, and upon the
previous evening the patient ap-
peared to be on the mend. During
the night a change for the worse set
in, and early in the morning it was
apparent that it was only a question
Of few hours before the end would
come.
L. @. Hummel was born at Mil
waukee, Wisconsin, October 20, 1867.
He grew to manhood in that city,
and was united in marriage to Miss
Anna O'Neil at Minneapolis on May
%. 1885,. Shortly after his marriage
he removed with his wife to Sisseton,
IS. D., where he resided until the
summer of 1905, when he came to
Princeton, and this place has since
been his home. He operated meat
market, and dealt in cattle and
horses here, and was one of Prince
TOMS most progressive business men.
Besides a host Of friends deceased
leaves to mourn his passing away a
widow and son and daughter. His
aged mother and three brothers and
four sisters also survive.
Mr.. Hummel was valued member
of the school board of Independent
District No. l at. the time of his
death, and he had also served a
couple of terms on the village coun-
Gil, which goes to show the high
esteem in which he was held by his
fellow citizens.
During the years Mr.. Hummel has
been engaged in business in this
place his pleasing personality and his
reputation for square dealing made
all with whom he came in contact
his lasting friends, and each and all:
of them mourn his untimely dea tn.

An Enjoyable Entertainment.

The Tom Thumb Wedding" which
was staged at the armory last Friday
evening, under the auspices of the
Methodist Sunday school, was a
Thorough success in every way. A
large audience was in attendance,
and ! to say that the production
pleased is expressing it mildly.
About Is children of the village
participated, and each one of the
little folks acted his or her part in a
manner that called forth much
favorable comment. Every feature
Of alreal society wedding was faith
fully reproduced. The various grand
parents of the bride and groom,
bridesmaids, groomsmen, the re-
jected sutton. old maids. the minis
ter and host of friends were all in
evidence, and everything passed off
as smoothly as could be desired
Miss Ellen Engberg presided at the
piano and played the wedding march,
and also acted as accompanist when
various songs were sung during the
evening. Elliott Radeke, Marjorie
Chapman, Grace Gibson, Ethel Hen
schel, Ards and Leon Jones, Beatrice
Larson, Otis Barrett and Doris and
Dorothy Howard contributed the
vocal selections to the evenings en-
tertainment, and these were not
among the least pleasing features.
All who participated in the pro-
duction are entitled to praise, and a
more enjoyable entertainment has
not been given in Princeton.
Praise for Senate Finance Committee.
The wisdom Of the senate was
shown at every point and on every
class of legislation, but it stands out
par excellence in the magnificent
work Of finance committee that
has never been excelled. Few, if
| Tang errors, were made by this COM
lmittee in usinl; the pruning knife,
Fin providing for the running ex.
penses of the government, and when
the public is acquainted with the
fact that the house committee on
appropriations was in so chaotic a
condition during the entire session
that it could accomplish nothing,
but eventually was obliged to send
over for copy Of the senate appro-
priation bills in order to make re-
port to the house, the good fortune
of having men like Senator Rockne
and other men equally as good on
the senate finance committee can
readily be seen. If the house appro-
priations committee had been al
lowed to proceed unbridled there is
no telling what the tax levy would
be; but the senate committee called
the halt and as a result the appro.
priations for this session will not ex-
coed those of the 1911 session. st.
