Horses Sick With Menigitis.

Laurence Clough Of Spencer Brook
lost a horse last Thursday. Cerebro-
spinal meningitis caused death. DR..
Neumann was called, and he reports
that a valuable team of Mr.. Clough's
also show symptoms Of being sick with
the same disease. At last reports the
horses were doing as we'll as could be
expected.
Cerebro-spinal meningitis is com
paratively new disease, and it may
be said to be confined to the American
continent. rs
Recent observations seem to point to
a micro organism as the actual cause.
Among the exciting causes may be
mentioned food and water containing
vegetable or animal matter in a de-
caying or putrid state. s.
DR.. Neumann advises that horses
and cows be housed in separate barns,
and that care be exercised in feeding
animals as prevcntives.
The etiology of the disease is yet an
open question. Investigators at var
ious times have thought that they
have uncovered the causative agent
says the Journal Of the An,ericansNet.

Chautauoua for Princeton


Princeton citizens are not easily dis
heartened, and we are. to have another
chautauqua, the highland system hav-
ing been secured. This is considered
one Of the very best. 8 - f. IS
It's a sure go as forty signers have
been secured to guarantee the. finan-
cial end of it. The liability Of each
signer is only SIS at the most, and
those signers who sell ten or more
season tickets at $3.50 each will have
discharged all their obligations and
will not be held for: cash in case both
ends refuse to come together.
The tickets are transferable in the
family; and each one calls for 10 en-
tertainments. This makes it very
reasonable-only 15c for each number.
The promoters would like to have at
least 20 farmers cooperate with the
villagers to make this chautauqua d
real success. If each one pushes just
little it's sea will be smooth. !:

Fatal Shooting ARRAY at Becker.

rdtdl OnOOC1ng Array at Becker.
About year ago Henry Woods of
Zimmerman was killed by Frank Kalen
of Blue Hill after a quarrel over a
stack Of hay. Sherburne county re-
Gently had another fatal shooting 'af-
fray following controversy between
the principals as to who owned a
stack Of straw. a =.
All the hay and straw cut on the
fertile sand of Sherburne county since
the first white man settled there would
not be worth a human life, and it is
sad, to say the least, that two deaths
should occur there in year as re-
suit Of disputes over commodities Of
such trifling value.
+ 0. D. Hamilton, farmer living be-
tween Becker and Clear Lake, was the
victim of the latest tragedy. He was
shot and killed by James Murphy, a
railroad man Of Becker, following a
quarrel over the ownership Of stack
Of straw on Sunday afternoon, March
4. Mrs. Hamilton and two of Muir
phys sons saw the killing.
Murphy admits that he killed Ham,
ilton, but pleads self defense. He says
that he did not use the revolver until
Hamilton attacked him with pitch
fork. Mrs. Hamilton says that her
husband had a pitchfork in his hands,
but denies that he used it as a weapon.
She insists that Murphy shot without
provocation.
Coroner Page and County Attorney
Tyler Of Elk River went to the scene
of the tragedy the next day, and made
an investigation Of the case. A cor
oner's inquest was deemed unneces-
sary.
Murphy was arraigned before Judge
Giddings Tuesday of last week, and
the bonds necessary for his release
we're fixed in the sum Of $4,000. Up
to the time the Union went to press
this morning the bonds had not been
furnished.
The defendant is we'll known in
Sherburne county, having lived there
all Of his life. ...s -.

The Omaha World Herald concludes
an inspiring editorial as follows: "In
the final analysis it depends upon the
people themselves rather than on their
government whether they are to rise
or fall. The test of the American peo-
pie is at hand" True, every word of
it. The present is no time for parti-
sanship or racial prejudice. We must
trust our leaders, and stand united be-
hind them. Any other action only
tends to increase the perils that sur
round US.

A meeting Of the School and Home
association was held at the high school
assembly room last evening. There
was good attendance and gratifying
interest was manifested in the pro-
ceedings.
Papers were read by Messrs. E. l..
Mcmillan and Clifton Cravens, and
Miss Ella Stearns.
Superintendent Hollands spoke of
the value Of manual training and do
nestle science, especially in keeping
boys in schools and in helping them
make good in other school work. Also
in interesting parents in the schools
and in ethe work of their children.
A pleasing musical program was
also carried out. A quartet made up

P. Ross, and Misses Ella Stearns and
Ida Mae Schmidt sang two songs that
were we'll received. Mrs. L. F. Wilkes
gave a piano solo, and a vocal solo
by Miss Mary Shockley won the

by Mesdames E. L. Mcmillan and Geo.

A violent earthquake was felt here
yesterday afternoon shortly before 8

was so heavy that it was believed that
one of the plants in South Cape had

shock was also distinctly felt around
the Normal, according to the students
and several professors of the school
No damage was reported, however, in
the Cape.
The seismographical apparatus of
the st. Louis University in St. Louis
registered three distinct shocks, be-
ginning minutes to three and follow
ing at intervals of about ten seconds.
According to the reports from St.
Louis, several buildings were damaged
by the earthquake. Chimneys were
thrown from several houses and a
number of window panes were shatter-
ed. The CONSERVATION was the great
