in it disclosed the fact that Princeton
had 16 playing errors charged up to
them. That's enough to lose dozen
ball games. Things just seemed to
go wrong everywhere and Anoka has
a bunch who know how to take adj
vantage of any misplays the oppon-
Ients make. Properly speaking, the
Anoka team that played here Sunday
is too fast an aggregation for Mana
ger Hoff's athletes to struggle with.
We kind of surmised that much after
the first Anoka-P Princeton game.
Their only chance with this bunch
would be to have alright pitching
and an errorless defense. Hoff did his
share by digging up a pitcher who
more than held up his end of the
struggle, but he couldn't do it all.
Beckett for Princeton outpitched
Spencer for Anoka, but, while the
Princeton team was booting the ball
around for a regular field day, the
hired help Of Manager Coleman Of
Anoka was putting up the classiest
article of defensive ball seen in this
league for some time. Their infield
and outfield work was perfect and the
Princetonians tried in vain to make
a breach somewhere and get a start,
but what feeble starts they were able
to make were prematurely nipped in
the bud by some fast snappy work by
the Anoka infield or a circus catch by
one Of the outfelders. It was no use
and the final score, Z to 0, really shows
the relative playing strength of the
two outfits.
Sunday, July 13, Manager Hoff will
take his misused athletes to st. Cloud
to do battle with the Blumer-G uthman
team. Princeton beat this bunch in
the start Of the season, to 2, but, as
we recall the game now, it was close
up affair in everything except one
round, when the locals tore into the
Granite City team and piled up total
of seven runs. Since then the GIGS
have strengthened their lineup and
they will be out to give the Prince.
tonians the drubbing Of their lives
All we hope is that the Princeton
team will get out and play up to their
normal standard. If they can do that
and if Bill Beckett is in the box fol
them, they can make the Stearns
county lads step right out in front il
they want the long end of the score.

rival bills for making unused lands
available to soldiers The Lane bill
deals principally with reclamation of
waste lands by soldiers, while the Will
son bill provides an elaborate System
for diverting unemployed labor to such
projects.
Thousands of kilograms and letters
are being received by western and
middle western senator's and congress-
men from stockraisers appealing for
government aid to save them from
financial disaster caused by the sud
den drop of cattle prices. Senator
Charles Curtis attributes the condition
of the market to the sale of $1,0OO,-
100000 worth Of surplus meats, canned
and dried, in Europe, eliminating the
demand for fresh meat.
AS result of the passage of the
army bill restricting appropriations to
an average army Of 325,O00 officers
and enlisted men, the war department
has sent out orders to discharge all
reserve officers not later than Sep
TENDER 30. This means many re-
serve officers who had expected to-
remain in the army permanently will
have difficulty doing so. All regular
army officers go back to their former
grades by September 80.
Representative Osborne of Califor-
MIA has introduced in the house bill
providing for department of federal
highways and improvements in rural
post roads. The bill contemplates the
construction Of trunk line highways
crossing the United States from east,
to west and north and south and con-
Meeting with similar roads in each
state. One of the purposes of Repre-
sentative Osborne is to provide en-
! ployment for returned soldiers. - y
Senator Jones Of Washington has in
PRODUCED in the senate a bill which
provides for the construction in the
District Of Columbia of sanitary dwell
lings to be leased at moderate rentals
TO persons who now dwell in the alleys
but who will be compelled by law to
give up their present homes within a.
year after the conclusion of peace.
Senator Jones is member Of the Dis
trict of Columbia committee. He has
for years taken keen interest in pro-
noting the welfare Of the poor people

War Savings Certificates.

! United States war savings certifi-
Gates are to be issued in denominations
of $1,000 and 500, according to
information received by Theodore
Void, governor of the Minneapolis
Federal Reserve bank. In principle
the new issues will be identical with
the SIS maturity value war savings
stamps. The new denominations will
be known as United States treasury
savings certificates. First shipments
are expected to reach Minnesota
soon. The cost of the $1,000 treasury
certificates will be 1886 in July and
will increase by 81 each month. They
will mature in five years.

Rev. w. E. Vogel Installed.
(Contributed.)

NContrlDuteu.) ia
Last Sunday the installation Of
Rev. w. E. Vogel, newly called minis
ter Of Immanuel's Lutheran congrega-
ton, took place and Rev. Salzwedel,
missionary Of the Ohio synod, per-
formed the ceremony. In a remarka-
bic sermon he admonished the young
clergyman to go forth and work dill
gently in the vineyard Of the Lord in
spite Of an Indifferent ungodly world,
only trusting to the promises Of God,
while on the other hand he spoke earn
est words Of love to the congregation
showing them their duties towards
their minister.
May God bless the minister and con-
that both may be salt to
all with whom they come in contact.

BuckshOt for Bandits.

When every community in Minneso-
ia has it's armed guard of business
men, as planned by the Minnesota
Bankers association, there should be
q quick rise in the mortality rates for
bank robbers.
The plan approved by the associa-
ton at it's recent meeting is to supply
each town with sawed-off shotguns
made for use by the American army.
Every business man in each small town
or suburban center is to have one of
these riot guns and a buzzer connected
with the banks robbery alarm.
A few rehearsals would make the
riot gun squad proficient in putting on
the following SHOW for the visiting
bandits:
Cashier throws up his hands at the
robbers command, and with his foot
gently pushes a button on the floor.
Buzzer sounds in every business house
in town. Men seize their trusty shot
guns, make for the bank, and as the
bandit appears hem him in with a
buckshot barrage, peppering him if
necessary until he surrenders.
The "buckshot for bandits" policy
should make the name of Minnesota a
terror to bank robbers, as it was for
decades after tho famous No,+h Ill
episode.

18th A SEMI-FIZZLE
Farmers, Who Drove Long Distances
to Celebrate, Greatly Disap-
,i.>~ pointed in Program.
Ball Game and Dance Virtually the
Only Attractions Which We're
Really Worth While.

While the Fourth of July celebra-
ton in Princeton, given by the newly
organized band association, failed to
approach expectations, there were un-
foreseen circumstances which prevent
ed some of the features advertised from
being introduced. For instance, we
are told by one Of the band officials,
that the merchants of the village were
too busy to prepare floats for an in
dustrial parade, hence there was none.
Then, again, it was impossible to Sc
cure fireworks, four wholesale houses
in the twin cities and one in Chicago
having turned down the order for the
reason that the pyrotechnic material
was unobtainable. AS to the bowery
dance it was decided that the PROPOSE
ton, under prevailing conditions, was
not feasible.
These features had been advertised
as part of the program and their fall
ure to materialize of course caused
disappointment, especially among the
farmers who had driven miles to see
them.
The Unions part in the program
amounted to nothing more than adj
vertising the features of the celebra-
ton in accord with instructions from
the arrangements committee, but it is
sorry that the event proved somewhat
of a fizzle.
Hundreds of farmers with their
families came in from the surround
ing country and many. of them re-
manned for the ball game, but there
were numerous others who in the
morning drove to the fair grounds en-
trance and turned about, refusing to
pay IS cents per head admission, and
proceeded to Green lake and other
places to spend the day. By the way,
the price of admission did not appear
on the posters.
The program in Princeton on the
"Victory" Fourth turned out to be
somewhat as follows: Band played
three pieces and marched to the fair
grounds at II o'clock, picnic lunch
eaten by a few on the greensward,
foot races and other contests, selec-
tions by Princeton band we'll rendered.
Then came the ball game which at
tracted many peop1e-the gate receipts
showing that something like 1900
were in attendance. A write-up of this
game by the wide-awake sporting edi-
tor of the Union appears in another
column.
As wind-up of the days ce'ebra-
ton really enjoyable dance was
given at the armory and the celebrated
jazzarino band of Minneapolis dis
coursed such enchanting music that
pumps which had never strayed from
feet before were observed floating
through the atmosphere.
That's all with one exception; that
is, the Union comedies with the many
farmers who protested against the
nonfulfllment of the advertised pro-
gram.

LOCALS WIN |, LOSE |
In Rafting Good Game on July
Fourth Home Team Defeats
Foley by Score of to o.
Anoka on Sunday Wins Second Sue
cessive Game Over Princeton
in One-Sided Contest.

as the Oldest Oldtlmers can remember.
For ten full innings the two teams
battled to scoreless tie and it looked
as if the game might go on indefinite
ly or until darkness automatically put
an end to it. However, after blanking
the Foley bunch in their half of the
18th frame the locals came in and
pushed over the winning run and
wound the game up to 0 in favor of
Princeton. In this frame Leander was
first man up for the locals and he
brought the big crowd to it's feet with
a clean smash to left center that car
ried him to second. Nutshell dumped
a ground ball into the Foley infeld
and they proceeded to get mixed up
on the play, so that Leander went to
third and Nutshell was evidently safe
at second. Two on and nobody out
and the Princeton contingent yelling
wildly for a hit to score Leander with
the winning run. "Moose" Anderson
was up, and, witha look of wild desper-
alton, faced the Foley pitcher and
gripped his trusty war club until his
fingers sank into the very fiber Of
the wood. Tice, the hired man from
Minneapolis, was hurting them over
for ben Mushel's gang and he was
surely getting something on the ball,
because up to this time the, Prince
tonians hadn't hurt his offerings in the
least, and the inning before he had
struck out the first three batters just
to show the crowd that he could go
extra innings and get stronger instead
of weaker. Inadvertently he slipped
enc into the groove for Moose and
bang! Away went the ball for hard
hit grounder right through between
thsrd and short, and so fast that the
birds looking after this part of the
Foley defense only saw the spurts of
dust where the ball hit the hand-mani-
cured inield that Don Evans has
erected at the fair grounds. It was a
safe hit for fair and Lcander galloped
home with the only run, and the game
was over.
1t was pitchers battle right from
the start of the fracas and Tice for
Foley and Beckett for Princeton
fought it gamely out to the finish.
Both got into bad holes at times and
then got out of them again without
damage. It was just nice question
of which one was going to break first.
In the first Of the tenth Tice struck
out three batters just as fast as they
could get up. This seemed to peeve
the long Beckett bog and he slipped
it to Manager Hoff that he could do
the same thing. He walked into the
box in the 18th and proceeded to do
just as he said he would, struck out
the first three Foley men to face him.
Tees extra efforts in the 10th seemed
to have weaked him little, and then
the house wrecking outfit of Leander,
Nutshell and Anderson got to the little
fellow and spilled the beans all over
the lot to the great satisfaction of the
biggest crowd that has watched a
baseball game in the local yard for
many suns.

Settlers Ask Removal of Indians.


Petitions are being circulated ask
ing the government to remove the re-
mainder of the Mile Laos band of
Chippewa Indians from their stamping
grounds around the lake and compel
them to remain away from here. The
petitions recite number of excellent
reasons for their removal, and they
are being freely signed by those who
are interested in the development of
the Mile Laos district. These Indians
have never attempted to comply with
the provisions of the treaty by which
the old Mile Laos reservation was
coded to the government and opened
to settlement. Within the past few
years several hundred acres have been
purchased by the government and held
in trust for these Indians to live upon.
There are about a thousand acres Of
this land in Kathio. Such land SO held
in trust pays no taxes, and in conse-
quence the privately owned lands must
bear the additional tax burden be-
cause of such withdrawal from the
tax rolls. The government certainly
should grant the prayer of the petit
tioners.-Wahkon Enterprise.

way to obtain information as to the
whereabouts of other gambling places
when such information is common
knowledge and when such places are
located not more than short distance
from the Court House itself and moth

do not intend to bring such evidence

Your Town

TWELVE cents a frontal foot is the
Il daily rental charged by the city
for the privilege of keeping oyster
boats off the South Street bulwark.
According to j. Phelan. auditor for
the Department of Docks. this yields
the city an annual revenue of $500.
In addition to this the local dock mas
ter collects % cents from each boat
that lands to dispose of its catch.
More than a million oysters a day
pass through the eight boats tied up at
the foot of Pike Slip. Up to fort
night ago these boats were anchored
off the south side of Pier SO. but the
dock authorities decided that it would
be better for the pier and the river
traffic if the boats were run in closer
to the shore and away from the wooden
docks. The oyster shells used to ac-
cumulate on the surface of the docks
and decay. The new move brought in
an additional $4,000 into the Golfers of
the city, for the New York New Jersey
Steamship Company is now paying that
sum for the rental Of the pier frontage
formerly used by the oyster boats.
