Measurements Taken.

Measurements have been taken for
the new base ball uniforms in which
the Princeton ball team will be attired,
and the order will be sent in as soon
as Harold Caley's measurements ar
rive from Cambridge, Mass, where he
is attending Harvard university.
The uniforms will be white, and
trimmed with blue, neat combination
The word princeton will adorn the
front, and the merchants who donated
the money to purchase them, volun-
tarily decided to not have individual
advertising matter thereon. The socks
will be blue with white stripes around
the center, and white feet. White caps
with a blue vizor,, and a blue 'sP' or
the front will be provided, and the
boys will indeed look spick and span
when they don the outfit.

The hay in question was of trifling

should lead to such tragic results. : >
Last fall and winter Kalen was en-
ployed in Princeton as waiter in the
restaurant adjoining Payette's photo
studio, and last sping he operated a
lunch room in the Kaliher building adj
joining the First National Bank, for
a couple of weeks. Since that time he
has been on the Lind farm in Blue
Hill. To some in Princeton he was
known as. "Dago Frank" having been
given the nickname Of one Of the New
York gunner executed for the muir
der Of Herman Rosenthal, the gam
bier. He was not actually considered
to be a desperate character, however.
He is young man, probably about ~
years Of. age, and the victim of the
shooting was about IS years DID,.

may be he is bound by law to follow this
statutory provision. This law makes
the cities and villages pay more taxes
in proportion to the true and full value
Of their property than unplatted or
farm lands.
Mr.. Hale told the assessors that the
greatest difficulty they would have
would be in finding property now
classed as money and credits" which
consists Of promissory notes, bonds,
book accounts, money on deposit in
banks, etc., because of it's not being
possible for the assessor to see the
same, but they were expected to fol-
low the law strictly and if any citizen
refused to make sworn statement as
to money and credits" to levy an as
sessment against him. The tax on
money and credits" has been fixed by
law at three mills on the dollar of
value and being so much lower than
the rate on all other classes Of prop
erty the tax commission expects ev-
cry person to report the same and if
he makes no sworn report stating that
he either has or has not any money
and credits, the assessors are to make
an arbitrary assessment against him
and add fifty per cent thereto as a
penalty for not making sworn report

Moses E. Jesmer.

Moses E. Jesmer succumbed to
Bright's disease at his home in this
village on Monday afternoon at
o'clock. His health had not been the

weeks ago he was able to attend to his
affairs, being actively engaged in the
barber business.
The last sad rites were conducted
yesterday morning from St. Edwards
church. Rev. FIR. Willenbrink oficiat-
ed, and the Catholic choir sang. In
terment was in the Catholic cemetery.
Moses E. Jesmer was born in Green
bush, this county, on August 80, 1864
and, aside from couple of years pass
ed in Mora, lived in this vicinity all OF
his life. On January 10, 1904, he was

A SLIGHTLY SITE
If a New School Building is Necessary
Locate It Where It Can
Be Seen.
Build for the Future as Well as the
Present-TempOrary Make
shifts Undesirable.

The Union was in hopes that we
could get along without a new school
building in Princeton for a year or
two yet, or at least until our two main
streets were permanently improved.
But it seems in the near future, if not
now, more school facilities must be
provided.
A new school building cannot be
erected in month or in a year. Means
must be provided for the erection of
the same. It would require bond is
sue. If the bonds were voted, and
loan was sought from the state it
would probably be year before the
same could be granted, as there are
applications for loans from the per-
manent funds now pending aggregat-
ing over million dollars. Of course
the bonds of the district might be sold
to private parties, but it would be at
a higher rate of interest than the
state would exact. A loan could be
obtained from the state at 4@o. Pri-
vate parties would demand five or six
per cent. It would not be ad-
visable to negotiate loan at higher
rate than 40.
If a new school building is to be
erected it should not be little dinky
makeshift; it should be a structure
that would meet the requirements Of
the district for years to come, and one
that would be credit to the village
and district, and it should be centrally
located on slightly SITE
It is claimed by some that if the out
siders- pupils outside the district
were to be excluded from our schools
we would have room enough and to
spare. This cannot be done. One Of
the requisites. of high school as pro-
vided by the statutes is that, cit shall
admit, free of tuition charge, students
of either sex resident in the state" The
great majority, probably 95 per cent,
of the high school pupils Of Princeton
are residents Of the district or with
in few miles of it's boundaries Any
how, Chinese wall cannot be built
around the Princeton high school.
There is probably not high school in
the state that has not pupils from out
side districts, and the Princeton school
is no exception to the rule.
i Anent site: The Union is not pre-
JUDGED in favor Of any particular site
for a new school building, but we do
believe that no more slightly one, no
one more centrally located than block
| 34-bounded on the east by E street,
on the north by Sixth street, on the
west by F. street, and on the south by
Fifth street-could be selected.

Graduated from the Farm.

Will two former Rochester farm
boys control one forty fifth of the
votes Of the next United States SEN
ate? There is such possibility. Por-
ter J. McCumber, United States sena-
tor from North Dakota, was reared on
a farm south of Rochester. Frank B.
Kellogg came to Olmsted county with
his parents when small boy and lived
on farm near Viola. But then, it is
expected that Olmsted county farm
boys will go high. They all have the
right stuff in them if they will only
make use Of it, and take advantage Of
their opportunities Rochester Bulle-
tin.

Civil War Veteran Passes Away.

Another esteemed Princeton pio-
neer, and a veteran of the Civil war,
joined the great majority when Charles
Anderson departed this life at the
home of his daughter, Mrs. Oswald
King, in this village on Wednesday ev-
ening of last week. General break
down due to old age was the cause of
DEATH
Brief and simple funeral services
were conducted from the King resi-
dence Saturday afternoon at 2:3O
o'clock, and were largely attended.
Rev. E. B. Service delivered the SER
mon, and the Methodist quartet sang
several beautiful selections. Inter-
1nent was in Oak Knoll cemetery.
Charles Anderson was born in Bruns-
wick, Maine, August 9, 1884, so at the
the time of his demise was 81 years,
six months and Fl days old. He was
united in marriage in 1854 to Miss Ly-
dia Cole, and came to Princeton the
same year. Eight children blessed
this union, six of whom are living, viz:
Mrs. V. D. Crandal, Robbinsdale; Robt
Anderson, Phoenix, Arizona; John An
derson, Mrs. Oswald King, Mrs. Alice
Townsend and Mrs. A. Howard of
Princeton. Mrs. Anderson answered
the final summons 81 years ago.
Deceased was a good and patriotic
citizen and served three years in the
war of the Rebellion with honor and
credit, being a member Of Co. D Of the
immortal First Minnesota. Each year
the grim reaper exacts his toll in the
ranks of the survivors of those who
battled to preserve the unity Of GU,
country, and it is ever an unpleasant
task to chronicle the passing Of one Of
the old boys in blue.

the questions. Has the United States
q right to object to this warfare along
its coast and 5000 miles from the seat
OF war? Does the warning of ship
and the transfer Of its passengers and
crew to open boats on the high seas
onform to the requirements OF inter.
national law? Is it the purpose Of this
U-boat activity to establish what
amounts to a blockade Of American
ports? Is 1t possible that German sub.
marines have a base OF supplies on
tho Atlantic coast? Was the visit
OF the U-5S to Newport legitimate call.
or was it conducted for military pur.
poses and, therefore. a violation Of
American neutrality?
