Big Airship Breaks in Two.

The most disastrous airship acct
dent in history occurred over the city
of Hull, England, yesterday when the
mammoth dirigible ZR-2, built for the
United States government parted
amidships and is now wreck in the
river Humber. The ship was pro-
crossing splendidly when suddenly it
was seen to break in two. This was
followed by terrific explosions and the
dirigible burst into flames and COM
menced to descend.
The ship carried a crew of 40 men
and there were a number of passen-
gers on board. According to late re-
ports a total of At persons lost their
lives. Four men escaped in para
chutes.
Among those on board was Captain
Maxwell of the United States navy,
st. Paul man, who had been assigned
to command the monster ship on her
trip across the Atlantic to America.
The ship was on it's final trial trip
before being turned over to the Ameri-
can crew.

A Strenuous Experience.

Jimmie Killoran, roadmaster on
this division, experienced strenuous
ride for few miles on Monday morn
ing. AS the train was leaving the
depot he jumped onto the steps lead
ing to the side door on. the last coach.
He then discovered that the door was
locked and was compelled to hang on
to the bars for several. miles until
someone from within saw him and
Colonel Mike Allen, brakeman, went
to his assistance.
Mike says that when he pulled Jim
into the car he reminded him of
stories he had read of the behemoth,
which ancient history says sweats
great drops of blood.
Jim is heavy man and we question
whether he could have chung to those
bars and withstood the tension on his
muscles until he reached Zimmerman.
Joe Mossman, Clair Smith, the other
depot boys and the writer felt particu-
larly anxious for Jim's safety as the
train left the yards and we all
watched him hanging to the side rails
rn:il he could be no longer seen.
Waiting until the time for the trains
arrival in Zimmerman, Clair Smith
phoned Harry Pratt and the BOYS
were much relieved when told that
Jimmie had arrived safely.

be one of the leading exhibits this
fall. BY the way, Bob Clark will be
in from Greenbush with a collection,
and everybody knows that this wiry
old Scotchman's exhibit is we'll worth
looking upon.
In small grains there will be- a
fairly good display, but corn will be
king. This territory never produced
a better stand of big yellow ears than
this season, and the crop is prolific.
Every farmer should put forth his
best efforts to place on exhibition
specimens Of all his agricultural prod
ucts and display as much livestock as
possible. He should take more inter-
est in his home fair than in the big
state exposition. This is not saying
that he should not exhibit at the state
fair, but have his home county first at
heart.

the requirements, and it is only fair
to those who have paid their just
share of the taxes that all should be

Give Demonstration at Fair; Farm
Bureau to Have Booth.
The north end of the county is
planning several interesting features
for our county fair. Besides the ex-
hibits of the farmers clubs there will
be three demonstration teams. Two
canning teams from ~Opstead, each
consisting of three members, will give
a demonstration on September 2.
These young ladies are experts and
know how to preserve the vegetables
and fruits according to real scientific
principles. The county champion
bread makers from Onamia are also
to give demonstration on the after
noon Of September /. y
During the last few weeks the in
terest in the Farm Bureau associa-
ton has increased greatly in this
county. Mr.. Hammargren is receiv-
ing many calls for membership blanks.
It has been decided to have a farm
bureau booth at the fair, which will
be in charge of the members of the
association. Any farmers who are
contemplating joining the organiza-
ton should not fail to visit the booth,
where all information can be fur
nished them concerning the farm bu-
feau.

BishOp-We isenburg.

A quiet but very pretty wedding &C.
Cured at St. Margaret's Episcopal
church in Chicago last Sunday after
noon when Gladys Grey Weisenburg,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Weisenburg, became the bride of
Craig L. Bishop, former Princeton
boy. The ceremony included the i'm
pressive ring service. They were &C.
companied to the altar by Miss Wini-
fred Bishop, sister of the groom, and
Joseph Weisenburg.
The groom helds a responsible posi-
ton with Armour & Co., and the bride
is talented young lady.
After short tour, including visit
to the groom's parents in Princeton,
the young people will be at home at
6542 Blackstone avenue, Chicago.
Their many friends extend congratu-
lations to Mr.. and Mrs. Bishop and
wish them a happy life.

FRUIT AND FLOWERS
Indications of an Excellent Display
of Eachsat County Fair, Aug
ust 81 to September 3.
Women's Department Also Promises
to Have Larger Number Of Elk; :
s-nhibits THAR Heretofore. j :.

From present indications there is
every reason to believe that the fruit
and flower displays at the Mile Laos
County fair will surpass, both as to
the number and quality of exhibits,
those Of any previous year. Mrs. H.
G. Cooney, superintendent Of the fruit
department takes especial interest in
bringing together a number of ex-
hibits of which visitors to the fair can
say, Nothing that has. every been
presented can compare with this COL
lection" For many years she has pre-
sided over the fruit department and
she knows just how the displays
should be classified.
This season has been especially
favorable to apples, and consequently
there is sure to be a magnificent dis
play. Minnesota apples are admitted
by the best experts Of the country to
excel in flavor and keeping qualities
those of any other state. The apples
raised on irrigated lands in the west
and south are inferior in every way to
those of the North Star state. There
is no getting away from the fact that
the best quality apples ever produced
in this county are grown in the Mile
Laos lake territory, and the berries
from that section are also of the fin
est. The soil around the big lake is
especially adapted to the raising of
fruit of every variety which can be
grown in this latitude. In addition to
large display of apples there prom
ises to be excellent exhibits of Com
pass cherries, plums and Strawberries.
While some of the plum trees in the
lowlands were slightly nipped by early
frosts, no material damage seems to
have resulted. It is safe to say that
a good display of fruits is assured.
For flowers of various kinds this
season could scarcely have been bet
ter-therehas been a luxuriant growth
of beautiful blossoms, and consequent
ly the department under the superin-
te1fdence of Mrs. N. A. Stacey cannot
be otherwise than center of attrac-
ton. Mrs. Stacey is an expert fori-
culturist and she knows exactly how
to arrange the exhibits in her depart
ment so that they will produce the
prettiest color scheme.
In the canned food department, su-
perintended by Mrs. A. E. Allen, there
is promise of large display of fruits
and vegetables put up in jars, while
Mrs. J. C. Herdliska, superintendent
Of the bread, cake and pie department,
will doubtless have all the exhibits she
can handle. Mrs. C. H.. Nelson will
superintend the needlework section.
In vegetables an exceptionally large
display is expected, as growers tell us
that a sufficient number of excellent
specimens have been raised to make a
magnificent display. While potatoes
do not reach the usual high standard,
there will doubtless be a good show
ing. Melons classified as vegetables
are of superior quality this year, as
also. are tomatoes. Vegetables will

Rounding Up the M0onshiners.

NOuuuing Up TIE MOOnSn1nerS.
This week Sheriff Shockley and his
deputies rounded up four violators of
the prohibition law in the north coun-
try and they were arraigned before
Justice Van Rhee at Milaca on Tues
day and penalized. The offenders
were as follows:
Frank and William Britton, Kathio,
Chas. Hierholzer of Onamia village
and Lambertus Scheepers of Bradbury.
They were all charged with conduct
ing unlicensed drinking places and
each pleaded guilty.
The Brittons were each fined SIS
and costs, making $125 apiece for
them to pay. Other charges pending
against them were held in allegiance
upon their promise to discontinue the
illegal traffic. Hierholzer was fined
500 and costs, totaling SITS, and
Scheepers the same amount.

Of statistical data which was atten-
lively listened to by members of the

Mrs. John Bishop Sustains Fracture
of Wrist When Machine Top
pies Into Ditch.
While Mr.. and Mrs. John Bishop
and son were motoring to St. Cloud on
Friday night, and when about eight
miles from that city, Mr.. Bishop
drove his car too near the edge of the
road in rounding curve and the ma
chine toppled into the ditch, landing
wrong end up with the four wheels
in the air. In the accident Mrs. Bish-
op sustained a fracture of her right
wrist but Mr.. Bishop and the boy -es-
capped with slight bruises. The top
of the car was badly smashed up.
AS the accident occurred near St.
Patrick's church, young Bishop went
to the parsonage for assistance, and
Rev. Father Welp Immediately re-
sponded. This good man brought
forth his car and conveyed the party
to a St. Cloud hospital, where the
fracture of Mrs. Bishops wrist was
reduced. Rev. Welp waited at the
hospital for the Bishops and drove
them back toward the place where the
accident occurred, but when within
three miles Of that spot one of the
wheels of the car came off. The SER
vices of farmer were, however, Sc
cured, and the machine was hauled to
St. Patrick's.
Odegard's garage had been called
up shortly after the accident, and
when the party returned to the point
where the wreck occurred Mr.. Bishops
machine had been righted and was
used for the run to Princeton.
"Father Welp is surely good Sa-
marian" said Mr.. Bishop, and my
wife, my son and myself cannot find
words to adequately express our
thanks to him for his kindly Christian
spirit" a.. = ii. ,..a;.
Mrs. Bishop is progressing as well
as could be expected considering that
the bone of the wrist was splintered.
