5, RECEIPTS
S. S. Convention a Success.

The annual convention of the Mile
Laos County Sunday School associa-
tion was held at Milaca last Satur-
day and Sunday, and it proved to be
one of the most interesting and in
structive meetings of the association
ever held. The first and Second dis
t1icts were we'll represented, and
the sessions were largely attended.
On Sunday four wagon loads of Sun
day school children and workers ar
rived from Woodward. Brook: and
this is ample evidence of the keen
interest taken in the work in that
community.
The program as published in the
Union last week, with the exception
that Mr.. A. NJ. Locker, secretary of
the state association, was the state
worker in place of DR.. Bowden, was
carried out. Each speaker demon
strated that close study is being
made of the work, and the musical
features were thoroughly enjoyed.
The reports lead showed that ex-
cellent progress is being made.
The following officers we're elected
for the ensuing year: President,
Mrs. Annie Ewing; vice president,
Mrs. Hilda Norgren; secretary, G..
L. Jump; treasurer, John Norberg :;
home department. superintendent,
Mrs. o. Wasenius; teacher training
superintendent, Miss Margaret L.
King; mission and temperance su-
perintendent, Mrs. VIM. Talen; teen
age superintendent, Miss Eva Ross !;
elementary superintendent, Mrs.
Esther Larson; adult superintend-
ent, Mrs. Nina Heilig.
The county is now more thor
oughly organized than ever before,
and the results are more than crafty
ing to the leaders of the Sunday
school movement in Mile Laos
county.

gold ring, meerchaum pipe. watch
chain and $3.50 in currency taken.
Sheriff Shockley happened to be at

Olson, and the pipe, chain and ring
were found in his room. Olson fin
ally confessed to Shockley where the
money was hidden, and he was ar
rested and brought before Justice
Goebel, who bound him over to the
district court in the sum of $500.
Defendant decided to enter plea Of
guilty at once, and he was taken to
st. Cloud last Saturday, where he en-
tered plea of guilty to a charge of
burglary in the third degree. Olson
was given an indeterminate sentence
to the refo1matory. Sheriff Harry
Shockley, Clerk of Court King and
County Attorney Myron accompan-
led the prisoner in an Official capa-
city, and Attorney Waller Of Milaca
represented the defendant.
Olson has served one Jail sentence
for furnishing intoxicating liquor to
a minor.

DIRECTORS ELECTED
Annual School Election Is Held at
the Local fiigh School Building
Saturday Evening.
E. l.. McMiiian. D. A. rlcRae and
Benz. Soule Chosen Directors
-..Slight Interest.

The annual school election of indie
pendent district No. l (Princeton)
was held last Saturday evening at
the high school building, but little
interest was manifested in the pro-
ceedings. There was only one printed
ticket in the field. but few of the
voters scratched the ticket and
wrote in their choice. A total of l24
votes were cast, and this light
vote. d. "A. McRae and Benz. Soule
we're reelected directors for term
of three years. The former received
104 votes and the latter &c. E. L.
Mcmillan was chosen to fill the un-
expired term of the late L. C. Hum
mel, receiving 100 votes. Mrs. J..
W. Mossman received "a votes for d.
rector for three years, and votes
for director for two years, while
Mrs. G.. A. Eaton received 81 votes
for director, but they were evenly
divided between two years term
and one of three years.
The members of the board of edu-
cation of independent district No l
and their terms of Office are as fol-
lows: D. A. McRae and Benz. Soule,
| three years; E. L. Mcmillan and
VIM. Bornholt, two years; j. J..
Skahen and Fred Newton, one year.
On Saturday, August 7, the board
will meet, appoint committee to
fix the tax levy and elect a chair
man, clerk and treasurer. D. A.
McRae is the present chairman, j.
j. Skahen is clerk and Benz. Soule
is treasurer.
Treasurer Soule's financial state
ment, read on Saturday at the an
nual meeting, shows that the exche-
Quer of the district is in a satisfac-
tory condition.. The balance on
hand is less than last year, but a
commercial course OF study was
added last year, increasing the ex-
pense. The statement follows:

the Italian dead and wounded, and
including those who are missing, a
better idea of the disastrous effects
of the war can be had from the
statement that they can only be ap-
proximated by an earthquake and
fire that would wipe the entire state
of New York off the map.
Not all of the nearly 5000, 900 per-
sons, of course, have been killed in
the war. The number of killed,
excluding the italian losses, is
1928, 800, which is equivalent to the
entire population of Chicago. But in
Guiding the killed with all those
who have been seriously wounded,
the effect is similar to disaster that
would kill or cripple the entire popu-
lation of the Empire state. ..
Even putting the total casualty
list at 10000, 900, however, it is but
the smallest fraction of the worlds
population, which has been esti-
mated at l, 72l, 100000 The British
empire has lost 1873, 900, the greatest
loss of the war, while Germany has
lost 4S2, 900, the greatest. loss in pro-
portion to the size of population
that any nation has sustained.
The war has been disastrous be-
yond all dreams. It has been the
nightmare of modern civilization.
1t has made more than dent in the
total population of the world, but
the world, after the nightmare is
over, will still march OH. with the
broken ranks filed up.-Washington

Galley was out of town, but Doane
held down first base with the sang
froid of "Chick' Autry. ~
s:Pongo" Olson was not in town
but ex.Manager Hoff1ander attended
to affairs in commendable manner.
+ The locals poled out total of 10
hits. which is certainly some stick
work. Two triples and four doubles
were included in the lot.
Doane endeavored to again emerge
from the contest with batting
average of 1000, but an infield fly
proved his undoing. He secured two
doubles, single and sacrifice,
however, which is going some.
Next Sunday real base ball treat
is in store for local fans when the
powerful Crown aggregation of Min
neapolis will clash with Princeton.
This nine took two close contests
from the locals last season-one of
the games going 10 innings. Prince
ton is determined to win, and if you
enjoy thrilling and spectacular
contest you should be in attendance.
This promises to be the fastest game
of the season.
Bob Berg is expected to be back in
the lineup next Sunday, and this
will be pleasing news to the fans.
The game next Sunday will start
at 2:3O sharp, and all should en-
deayor to be there on time. The
game will be thriller, and no one
should miss any feature of it. Plan
to attend.
Had the ball been dry, it is doubt
full if Emahiser's drive. would have
ever stopped. It was good wallop,
and the sphere certainly travelled
some.

Cabinet Agrees With President.

Washington, July 21.-President
Wilson and his cabinet agreed upon
the terms of what may prove to be
the last note to be sent to Germany
in defense of the right of Americans
to voyage on the high seas free from
the menace of attack by German sub
marines.
The note reasserts the principles on
which the United States intends to
stand and makes Germany's conduct
of her submarine operations in the
future the test Of the relations that
are to exist between the two govern
ments. -.
The note will be marked by it's brew
ity and will carry tone of fnality
that will demonstrate the conviction
on the part Of this government that
further discussions of the submarine
issue along the lines of the last two
months seems futile.
The note will make it clear to Ger
many that the future relations be-
tween the two governments will de-
pend upon her observance of the prin.
ciples of international law upon which
this government has stood from the
first.
There is no hint as to what course
the United States may see fit to adopt
i'll support of this note In fact, the
president and his advisers have been
content to draft the note leaving tc
future developments a decision as to
the step that shall follow if Germany
persists in her attacks upon American
lives -
The note gOes far in giving the Ger
man government the benefit of all pos
sible doubt as to her intentions. The
administration is understood to have
gone so far as to express in the note
the assumption that Germany does
subscribe to the presidents principles
Of law and humanity and that she does
not intend to commit further attacks
on Americans in violation of these
principles.
Such assumptions are understood to
be due to the desire of the president
to close in Germany's face the door
of any opportunity for her to meet the
United States, views without public
humiliation and also, if possible, to
bring her to direct statement as to
her attitude toward the law and her
intentions as to practice.
On the other hand, those who are
familiar with the note are satisfied
that if, after its receipt, Germany CON-
mits further attacks on Americans,
the United States will be compelled to
regard such attacks as unfriendly
acts. It was reported here that the
president has decided to go so far as
so to inform Germany in the forth
coming note.
This report was not confirmed,
though there is a reason to believe
even if this statement is not made
specifically, the Berlin government
will have no room for doubts as to
what the attitude of this government
will be in such an event.

BURIED BY CAVE IN
Depl0rabIe Accident Causes the
Death Of Willard Jesmer
~ and Otis Barrett.
Entire Community Shocked at Tragic
End of Two Princeton Boys
While at Play.

1t is with sincere regret that we
chronicle one of the saddest and most
shocking accidents that has ever oc-
CURED in Princeton. Last Monday
afternoon while at play in an open
pit on Depot street, dug for the
sewer which is being put in, Willard
Jesmer and Otis Barrett, aged 6 and
I, respectively, were buried under a
cave in of sand and suffocated. The
former is a son of Mr.. and Mrs. L..
E. Jesmer, and the latter son of
Mr.. and Mrs. G. A. Barrett.
The unfortunate accident occurred
some time between the hours of 3
and 5, as the boys were seen near
the pit at about O'Clock by Mr..
Jesmer, who told them to go home,
and at ) o'clock the workruen started
filling in sand. 1t is very evident
that the boys failed to realize the
danger of their position, as they re-
NAMED.
The parents became alarmed when
the boys failed to return at supper
time, and search was instituted.
At first it was feared that the boys
had been drowned in the river or lost
in the woods along the shores of the
stream, as it was reported that they
had been seen near the railroad
bridge during the afternoon. A
thorough search was instituted. and
at 10 O'Clock the fire whistle was
sounded and practically the entire
village joined in the hunt, which
continued until the early hours of
the following morning. Two hoops,
which the boys had been playing
with during the afternoon, were
found at about 2:3O a. m near the
sewer and the worst was then feared.
Tuesday morning: shortly before s
O'Clock, the bodies were uncovered at
a depth Of about four feet.
Funeral services of Otis Barrett
were conducted yesterday afternoon at
the family residence by the Christian
Science circle. and were largely at
tended. Numerous beautiful floral
tributes reposed upon the casket.
Interment was in Oak Knoll GENE
terry that eyening-several' relatives
arriving on the O'Clock train to be
present. Among those from out of
town who were here for the obse-
Quies were Mr.. and Mrs. John. L.
Murphy and Mrs. Jos. Murphy and
daughter of Rush City, Mr.. and Mrs.
F. M. Barrett of Anoka, Mrs. Otis
| R. Lamon and son of Elm Wood,
Wis, and Miss Anna Barrett of
River Falls. Wis.
The last sad rites over the remains
lof Willard Jesmer were conducted
at ST. Edwards Catholic church this
morning. The services were largely
attended, and the floral tributes were
profuse and beautiful Rev. FIR.
Willenbrink conducted the services,
and interment was in the Catholic
cemetery.
Willard and Otis were bright little
boys, and their sudden taking away
is indeed sad. The bereaved rela-
tives have the deep sympathy of the
entire community.
Mr.. and Mr.. L. e. Jesmer and Mr..
and Mrs. G. A. Barrett desire to
express their sincere and heartfelt
thanks to the numerous kind friends
who extended sympathy and aid to
them in their time of sorrow. While
it is difficult to express their appre-
citation they assure all that they are
truly thankful.
