TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO.

Fred Mcclellan still continues his
good work on the streets.
Ed. Page of Anoka went up river
Saturday to see about repairing the
dams that were washed out last
spring.
1t seems a pity to cut down so many
stately oaks in the streets, but the
improvement of these streets necessi-
tates the removal of the trees.
New potatoes are being shipped in
large quantities from here to the Du-
luth market. Raising and shipping
early potatoes is branch of farming
that will pay big.
Farmers should save samples of
their wheel, oats, rye, etc., in stalk,
for exhibition at the Princeton fair
next month. It is definitely settled
that there will be fair.
The Townsend block on the corner
of First and Main streets will be the
most imposing business structure in
the village. When completed with it's
brick veneering it will present fine
appearance.
In the spring the Union predicted
that the building improvements in
Princeton for 1892 would aggregate
100000, and the resume at the close
of the building season will prove the
correctness of our estimate.
Landlord Newbert is justly proud of
the improvements he has completed on
the Commercial hotel. The Com
mercial is now one of the most COM
modious and best arranged hostelries
that can be found outside of the
larger cities.
The nasty St. Paul Globe carica-
tured the editor Of the Union in fine
shape in last Fridays issue. We have
not threatened that measly democra-
tic sheet with a libel suit but, in
fact, we feel gratifed for the free
advertisement
By the first of next week the brick
layers will have completed their labors
on the state bank building. When
finished it will be a neat and SUBJ
stantiel edifice. The walls are built
to withstand the ravages of fire, and
outwardly the building will be as near
ly fireproof as it can be made.
Farmers are all busy in their rye

RUPTURE EXPERT HERE.
Seely, World Famous in This Special
ty, Called to St. Cloud.

F. H. Seely of Chicago and Phila-
delphia, the noted truss expert, will

average case. This instrument re-
ceived the only award in England and

HIDDEN DANGERS.
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
No Princeton Citizen Can
Afford to Ignore.

Afford to Ignore.
Danger Signal No. 1 comes from
kidney secretions. They will warn you
when the kidneys are weak. Well
kidneys excrete clear, amber fluid.
Weak kidneys send out a thin, pale
and foamy, or thick, red, ill-smelling
urine, full of sediment and irregular
of passage.
Danger Signal No. 2 comes from the
back. Back pains, dull and heavy, or
sharp and acute, suggest weak kid
neys and warn you of danger of
dropsy, gravel and Bright's disease.
In that case Doan's kidney pills have
been. endorsed by thousands. Here is
statement Of a nearby resident:
A. V. Axtell, carpenter, Foley,
Mimi, says: II suffered from a dull
backache and pains through my hips.
1t hurt me to bend, stoop or lift and
my back got lame and sore. The
trouble was worse when 1 caught cold
or did any hard work. Doan's Kidney
Pills fixed me up all right and gave me
freedom from all the pains and aches.''

ply ask for a kidney remedy-get

Their Fortune Made.

Two Irishmen were going into the
trenches for the first time when their
captain offered them five shillings each
for every German they killed.
Mike was watching while Pat lay
resting in the bottom of the trench.
Pat was hardly asleep when Mike
woke him with:
"They're comm! They're commit"
"Who's comin'?" asked the now
fully awakened Pat.
"The Dutch" yells Mike.
Elbow many is there?" cries Pat.
"a hundred thousand anyhow!''
says Mike.
"Begorra, thin," says Pat, grabbing
his gun and jumping up, "our fortunes
made!"

Canada and the United States.

At this particular time the follow
ing article from the Manitoba Free
Press is well worth reproduction:
We Canadians have had during the
last century our little differences with
our kinsmen south of the line. We
have had to settle boundaries and fish,
cries questions, and have had few
small passages on the question of
trade. We have had to repudiate GER
tain platform effusions and partisan
gatherings Of "annexationists."
But for more than one hundred
years Americans and Canadians have
lived side by side on the best of terms.
For a century we have been establish
ing by degrees national proof of the
maxim that "blood is thicker than
water" Our popular ideals, our es-
sential motives, the fundamental
principles of our national philosophers
have been notably similar.
When, after three years of waiting,
the American people joined us in the
struggle for the liberty of the world,
there went thrill to the hearts of
Canadians everywhere at the thought
that peoples of one blood, of one
tongue, of one ancestral tradition, and
of one vision of the future, had at
last come shoulder to shoulder in the
line of resistance to autocratic domi-
nance and barbarous militarism. But
Canadians would prove themselves un-
worthy of their noble lineage if in the
hour that has just struck they received
no larger inspiration than mere thrill
of satisfaction of seeing "Old Glory"
and the "Union Jack" waving together
in the smoke of battle.
Ultimately the Anglo-Saxon peoples
of the world will be one again in the
matters that really count in things of
the spirit. Time alone will reveal the
terms and the exact nature of the
spiritual union. But no accident of
national boundaries, no misfortunes of
diplomacy, no commercial misunder-
standings will stop the drift of the
years. And for us Canadians, who are
the national and, in many ways, psy-
Geological link between America and
Great Britain, the days Immediately to
come are heavy with obligation. 1t
will be for US to capitalize the stand
taken by President Wilson and his
people, to the end that the bonds may
be drawn more tightly about US all as
a race.

KERENSKY IN POOR HEALTH

London, Aug. S.-The health of Alex.

BUSINESS MEN FAVOR
WEBB TRADE MEASURE
United States Chamber of Commerce
Committee Reports Favorably on
Bill Affecting Exporters.

In advocating the passage Of the
Webb bill, affecting foreign trade. a
special committee of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States. in a re-
port which it has just submitted, states
that the position of exporters of the
United States in having to deal singly
with combinations is growing more dis
advantageous, and that at the end of
the European war it may be disastrous.
The committee. and through it the
national chamber, is urging the pas
sage of the bill because it feels that CO.
operation in export trade affords spe-
cial advantages to small concerns
which have not great experience
abroad. Many of these concerns, it is
said, are now unwitting1y doing harm
to American commerce abroad.
Lacking experience and individually
unable to support special staff for
selling abroad. they have 80 conducted
their relations with several parts of
Latin America, for example, as to call
forth organized protests The commit
tee believes that If such concerns could
enter into association among them
selves and, collectively, support COM
mon agency that would make the con-
tracts, arrange the credits, see to COM
pliance with sample and superintend
the shipping, it is believed justifable
complaints on the part of foreign Gus
toners would be automatically obvi-
ated Otherwise, the committee thinks,
there may be national detriment in
trade relations.

"sAMMIES" IN GOOD HEALTH
U. S. Troops In France Are In Pink
of Condition and Rounding Into
Fine Shape.

American Training Camp in France.
The chief medical officer of the
American expeditionary forces made a
round Of the companies in camp near
est headquarters and gave each troop
section brief talk on general health
conditions. He explained the dangers
that confront all armies and urged
the men to take precautions available
for each individual soldier. The troops
responded enthusiastically to his pa
triotic appeal to keep in good phys
ical condition, for the reputation
of the American arms, and promised
faithfully not to drink unfiltered water
and to observe other health precau-
lions.
Medical records thus far make It ap-
pear that the appeal had been antici-
pated by the majority of men in the
American camp.
What little sickness prevails is lin
tied almost exclusively to few cases
Of measles and mumps, contracted be-
fore leaving the United States.
Every soldier already has been vac
cinated against typhoid and, in addi-
ton, each troop section is equipped
for filtering every drop of water drunk
