Mrs. Henry JOpp.

Mrs. Henry Jopp, beloved resident
of Princeton town, breathed her last
Friday morning, following an illness
of six months duration. Cancer was
the cause of death, and everything
known to medical science was resorted
to in an effort to effect cure-all to
no avail. u
Funeral services were conducted on
Sunday afternoon, first from the fam
lily residence, and later from the Ger
man Lutheran church in Princeton
town. Rev. A. O. Strauch conducted
the last sad rites, and numerous
friends and relatives braved the in
clement weather to show their esteem
for deceased. Among those from out
of town who attended the ultimate
services were Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Beck
er, Mrs. G. Arnholdt and Mrs. F.
Hannah, Watertown; Mrs. G. Bense-
man, Elk River; Mrs. William Myfert,
and Mrs. Mary Smith, Minneapolis,
and Mrs. Frank Croft, Watkins. In
terment was in the church cemetery.

browns in St. Francis River.

Paul S. Gamroth, a prominent and
popular Foley young man, lost his life
in the St. Francis river Friday after
noon. The drowning occurred near the
farm of Robert Lavigne, nine miles
southeast of Foley. With the ill-fated
young man at the time were Geo. Hall,
Edward Nutshell and Hugh MCGEE Of
Foley, and they were all fishing. Mr..
Gamroth, it seems, was wading in the
stream, when suddenly taken with Sc
we're cramps. He uttered one cry for
help and sank, never to emerge alive.
Hugh MCGEE Immediately plunged into
the water with the intention of rescu-
ing his companion, and was also taken
with cramps, but was brought back
to shore.
The body was recovered at 7:3O in
the evening, about four hours after
the deplorable incident. Drag hooks
were used, and it was found almost
precisely at the spot where he sank.
Mr.. Gamroth was q years Of age,
and had been a resident Of Foley for
about eight years, where he was Of
flee manager and bookkeeper Of the
Foley Lumber Company. He was we'll
liked, and at the time of his unex-
pected taking away was serving as
village recorder Of Foley. Here in
Princeton Mr.. Gamroth had several
friends, who learned to know and re-
spect him while he was member of
the Foley ball team, and all expressed
sincere regret upon hearing of his
demise. Two brothers and his moth
er, who resides at North Prairie, sur
vive him.

Great Meeting at St. Cloud.

One of the largest and most en-
thusiastic political meetings in CEN
trail Minnesota for years was held at
Davidson's theater in St. Cloud last
Thursday evening to listen to Frank
B. Kellogg and ex-Congressman Fred
G. Stevens. The spacious building
was packed, scores stood up in the
aisles and passageways and hundreds
more could not gain admission. All
the neighboring towns were we'll rep
resented. There was six auto loads
from Princeton. The Ladies' band
furnished inspiring music inside the
building, and another band entertained
the crowds on the streets. Ex-Sena-
tor Ripley B. Brewer presided.
Mr.. Kellogg was given great
ovation when introduced by the chair
man, and the telling points in his
mastery address of almost two hours
duration were loudly applauded. He
discussed preparedness, the tariff,
merchant marine and the topics of
national Importance in his usual logi-
cal and convincing manner. He made
no appeal to racial prejudices and
never once referred to any Of his
rivals in an unfriendly manner. His
manly, straightforward talk made him
many new friends.
Mr.. Kellogg was followed by Mr..
Stevens who delivered a rafting good
speech. He told Of how Mr.. Kellogg
had demonstrated on several occa-
sions his practical friendship for the
laborlng men, and especially referred
to his successful efforts in preventing
a strike on the Great Western system
OF railways several years ago, and re-
ceived for the employees of the road all
that they had asked for and how the
railroad men showed their gratitude
and appreciation by voluntarily re.
questing Mr.. Taft to appoint him to
the supreme bench.
All in all it was one of the best
political meetings ever held in the
Granite City. The out-of-town guests
especially the Princeton contingent
feel truly grateful for the courtesies
extended by Alvah Eastman, C. F
Macdonald and the hospitable citizens
of St. Cloud generally. !

A Touching Tribute.

Archdeacon Herman F. Parshall,
rector of St. Peters Episcopal church
at Cass Lake, who departed this life
at his home in that village on the 18th
inst, was greatly beloved individual.
The entire front page Of the current
number of the Cass Lake Times is de-
voted to loving tributes to his men,
DRY. This is from the pen Of the
venerable editor of the Times, ex-
Judge Frank Ives:
Never in the long years that we
have left behind have we approached
the duty of placing before the world
Ia tribute to a fellow man with such
doubts and with such knowledge of
our inability of doing complete just
ice as in writing the last tribute to
our beloved and god-like friend,
Archdeacon Herman F. Parshall. His
followers, members Of the church in
whose services he has devoted his life
have tenderly spoken Of his virtues
and his ability, but of his love and
tenderness toward all mankind from
the lowest forms of humanity to the
higher positions Of life there can
never be too much said. The "un-
tutored Indians" for whose welfare
he has spent more than ten years of
the best period of his life, not only in
religious instruction but in the COM
mon affairs of civilization his work
and devotion to them bear the un-
mistakable impress Of unselfshness.
"The man with the hoe" 'brothe1
of the OK" was as dear and called for
his love and respect as readily as the
one with plethoric purse and free
hand. With a broad and catholic
conception Of the duties of manhood
he labored, not alone as clergyman
but as helper to all who were in
need.

More Men Wanted.

The Minnesota National Guard was
recently subjected to thorough fed
eral inspection, and six companies
ha-e been mustered out-wiped off the
map-as a result. These companies
were hopelessly deficient. Eighteen
others have been placed on probation,
and unless improvement is noticeable
they will be mustered out also at a
later date.
IN this connection it is gratifying
to note that Co.. G. of Princeton is not
included in the list of companies that
failed to measure up to requirements.
Captain Johnson, Lieutenant Morton
and other officers Of the company have
labored hard to bring G. up to an ex-
cellent standard, and the local company
is a credit to the village.
Co. G has a membership of 81 at
the present time, and, inasmuch as the
full quota allowed in times of peace
is rs, it is now in a position to con-
slider favorably IL applications for
membership. Young men who desire
to secure military training are invited
to join. Uniforms, guns and ammu-
milton are supplied gratis. The Third
regiment, of which Co. G is a part,
will be in camp at Lake City from
June 20 to 20, inclusive, and those who
affiliate with the company before that
time will be afforded an opportunity
to participate in the outing. This
makes splendid vacation trip-there
is just enough exercise to make one
feel fit. Railroad transportation both
ways is provided, and members re-
ceive $1.50 per day while in camp.
The boys invariably return with an
appearance Of rugged health that is
genuine. Those who contemplate en-
listing are urged to do so in the near
future ~

Arrested for Speeding.

F. p. Nemec of st. Cloud transacted
business here Friday, and when leav-
ing for his home by auto violated the
speed regulations Of our village. Mar
shall Wilkes, who saw the ST.. Cloud
machine race down First Street, pre-
vailed upon Alonzo Raiche to get their
automobile and pursue the offender.
Mr.. Nemec was overtaken about three
miles out, and he left his Automobile
4 Association Membership card as bail.
The card was signed by Chief Of Police
Brick of st. Cloud, and vouched for
the holder as being good for fine. As
yet the fnesis unpaid, but if necessary
a special trip will be made to the
Granite City to collect same.

1ncendiarism Charged.

The Evangelical Association church,
near the w. E. Strike place in Brad
ford, was destroyed by fire on the 18th
inst, and incendiarism is charged. A
reward Of 800 has been posted by
Mr.. Strike and his son, for informa-
ton that will result in the arrest and
conviction of the party who set the fire
that burned the church" A person
was seen there short time on the day
in question, and soon thereafter the
dry grass in that vicinity was burning.
If the fire was deliberately set with
the intention of destroying the house
of worship, it is evidently the work
Of some small-souled crank, who has
been at large too long.

Proposed School Site Rejected.

The proposition to acquire the six
other lots in the block where the
Princeton high school is located, for a
site for a new building, was over
whelmingly rejected by the voters of
Independent district No. 1, at special
election held Tuesday afternoon at the
village hall.
A total of 1924 votes were cast,
which is not regarded as a heavy vote,
and of these 239 were against acquir-
ing the site; 80 were favorable to the
proposition, and there were two un-
marked ballots.
Messrs. j. j. Skahen and D. A. Nc
Rae, of the school board, acted as
judges of the election, and Ira G..
Stanley was clerk. The polls closed
at 5 O'Clock, and the gentlemen COM
pleted the count in Is minutes, which
is rapid work.
The voters of the district have now
rejected two sites, with an overwhelm-
ing adverse vote, and it is doubtful if
a site can be agreed upon. Undoubt-
eddy numerous Of those who voted
"no" Tuesday, believe that if another
building is necessary, the north side
of the river is the proper place for it.
Others are opposed to having new
building at this time, and would vote
against any site submitted to them
for approval or rejection.

Potato Market Advances

Potato prices advanced sharply the
first of the week, and since that time
Burbanks and Russets have been
bringing from Csc to $1.OO per bushel.
Other varieties have been worth about

heavy yesterday, for this season of
the year, and buyers estimate that
more potatoes were marketed that
day than the total receipts of week
previous. Prices were firm this morn

THE WEEKS DEATHS
Henry Dalchow Prominent Princeton
Farmer Takes Own Life While
Temporarily Insane, Friday.
Mrs. Henry Jopp Answers the Final
Summons GamrOth of Fo-
ley Drowned on Friday.

The announcement that Henry Dali
chow, a prominent farmer of Prince
ton town, had committed suicide Fri
day afternoon shortly after 8 o'clock,
came as distinct shock to his numer-
GUS friends in this village and vicinity.
1t appears that Mr.. Dalchow was
having large barn erected, and he
and the carpenters in his employ had
Just finished eating their afternoon
lunch. Everyone left the house except
Mr.. Dalchow and his daughter, Es-
Their, who was clearing away the
dishes. Mr.. Dalchow stepped from
the dining room into the kitchen, and
then entered the cupboard where he
kept his guns. He seized 44-caliber
Winchester rife, pointed it at his right
temple, and discharged it. Death re-
suited simultaneously.
Coroner Olsen Of Milaca was sum-
moned and he arrived at the conclu-
sion that deceased came to death at
his own hands while temporarily in
sane. This appears to be the only ex-
PLANTATION. Mr.. Dalchow had COM
planned of his health of late, but no
member of his family or others ever
noticed symptoms that indicated that
he was mentally unbalanced.
Brief and simple funeral services
were conducted from the family resi-
dence Sunday morning at $3.50 o'clock
by Rev. A. 0. Strauch, and the re-
mains were laid at rest in the Ger
man Lutheran cemetery of Princeton
town.
Henry Dalchow was born at Water
town, Carver county, this state, on
September 7, 1861. He grew to man.
hood at that place, and came to Prince
ton IS years ago, where he has since
resided. Mr.. Dalchow was twice mar
ried. The year Of his arrival here he
took unto himself wife in the per-
son of Miss Emelia Lueck, and five
children, who are living, were born Of
the union, viz: Mrs. VIM. Peterson,
Misses Eda, Alma and Lena, and Emil.
Mrs. Dalchow answered the Masters
summons 10 years ago, and some time
thereafter Mr.. Dalchow was united in
marriage to Miss Minnie Kutsche.
Seven children were born of the Sec
ond marriage and are living, as fol-
lows: Esther, William, Otto, Alfred
Oscar, Evolch and Sophie. The widow
two brothers and sister also survive
viz: John, of Bogus Brook; Albert, OF
Carver county, and Mrs. Emelia Schil-
ling of Hennepin county.
Henry Dalchow was good
citizen in the full sense of the term
Although of quiet disposition he had
most likeable personality, and none
knew him but to respect him. He en-,
joyed the confidence and esteem OF
those who formed his acquaintance tc
a marked degree, and the fact that he
served several terms as member of the
town board of Princeton is an evidence
of the high regard in which he was
held by his neighbors.
That Mr.. Dalchow premeditated thu
rash act that robbed him of life i:
unthinkable. He was undoubtedly
temporarily deprived of his reason
when he placed the muzzle of the riff,
to his temple and fired the fatal shot

A DAY OF TRIBUTE
Appropriate Memorial Day Exercises
Will Be Carried Out at the
Co. G Armory, Tuesday.
Musical Program Will Be Rendered
and Attorney E. L. Mcmillan Will
Deliver Address of the Day.

Next Tuesday, May 80, is Memorial
day-the one day in the year devoted
exclusively by grateful people to
honoring the survivors and departed
heroes Of that memorable conflict that
determined the oneness of this nation.
In all sections of our fair land people
will congregate, and pay deserved
tribute to our honored soldiers-dead
and living.
Princeton will, as usual, observe the
day with appropriate exercises, and a
committee has completed arrange
ments for an observance fitting the
solemn occasion. The citizens of this
vicinity will assemble at the Armory
where musical program prepared by
Mrs. H. c. Cooney, will be carried out.
The Memorial day address will be
delivered by Attorney E. L. Mcmillan,
and Princeton is indeed fortunate in
having citizen so capable Of doing
justice to the subject.
| At the present time when the United
States is enjoying peace and plenty,
while all of Europe is engulfed in
war, it is especially meet and proper
that our citizens should honor those
brave men who responded to duty's
call, and endured untold hardships that
the Union of states might continue
one and inseparable.
1t is only a matter of few years
when the last survivor of the war of
the Rebellion will have responded to
the Masters summons, and those who
are still in the land of the living are
entitled to the most considerate treat
ment at all times. So while we honor
the dead, let us also remember the
living.
Three of the old boys in blue, who
a year ago were on earth to pay a
reverent tribute of respect to depart
ed comrades, now sleep beneath the
sod themselves, and their names. have
been added to the list of soldier dead,
viz: Ed LaPorte, J. F. Quinlan and
John Hastings.
