Worl Beyond. Oiaf B. Weide, of Big Lake, Minn., died Friday at the city hospital from the effects of a dose of morphine taken Thui-sday night in the Scandia hotel, Third and Sibley streets. When re ceived at the hospital the poison had nearly done its work and every effort to save the man's life proved futile. Weide was out with several friends Thursday night drinking and went to the hotel, where he had been stopping for three weeks, and retired to his room late. Shortly afterwards he called for a bottle of soda water and nothing more was heard of him. About 6 o'clock Friday morning a noise was heard in his room and the door was forced open. Weide lay on the bed in an unconscious condition, evidently almost dead. Dr. Lundholm was called to attend him, and finding the man in an almost hopeless condi tion, ordered him removed to the hos pital. The physicians used every means of bringing him back to con sciousness, but without effect, and he died in a few hours. On a table in te room which the man occupied at the Scandia hotel was found a glass containing enough of the poison to indicate the cause of his death. He had evidently swallowed the drug and then laid down, grad ually becoming unconscious. The room was searched for the customary letter, but nothing was found to indi cate that he had purposely ended his life. Letters in hisl pocket told of his residence. The body was sent to the morgue and the man's wife notified. No inquest was held, the coroner be ing of the opinion that the cause of death wa3 apparent.St. Paul Globe. ELECTED OFFICERS. The Princeton Gun Club Made Good Prog ress in Its Organization. The sportsmen who set the club idea a-rolling last week met again at the UNION office Monday evening. The committee appointed last week to draw up constitution and by-laws reported that it had not completed the work and asked that it be given until next Monday evening to report, and the re quest was granted^ Vv The club then prbbeeded to' elect of ficers and.those chosen were as follows: President. Wm. Cordiiier Vice President.'.. .V .C. A. Jack Secretary.. A. A. Caswell Treasurer F*. L. Small Field Captains..A. J. Bullis, M. Kaliher The club adopted a pledge for its members which gives an intimation of what it proposes to do in the matter of the protection of game and every one present signed the document. The members pledge themselves not to hunt or fish out of season, to aid the association in every practicable way inth protection of game and fish and also to report any violation of the game and fish laws. The membership fee was fixed at $1.00 and the funds derived from this source will be used to defray the costs of prosecution of offenders and a re ward will probably be offered for the arrest and conviction of unlawful hunt ers. Weekly shoots at clay pigeons will also be held. TO FIGHT FILIPINOS. The Old Fourteenth Has Been Offered to the Government. Major Cole returned from Duluth Sunday morning, where he went to at tend a review of a number of compan ies, of the Fourteenth regiment, held before Secretary of War Alger, who was on a visit to thai city. "An effort is being made to. reorganize the Four teenth and to have it go into, the regular army as a provisional regi ment for two years' service in the Philippines. A number of regiments are anxious to return home, and others will be required to take their places. The men of the Fourteenth are well drilled, and Col. Van Duzee informed Secretary Alger that he would guar antee to place a first-class regiment at the disposal of the government in two weeks time in case it were wanted. The secretary has taken the matter under advisement and it is possible that Company F. may yet have an op portunity to take part in active ser vice. Col. Van Duzee came over from Duluth with Major Cole and spent the day at the lakes in this vicinityFer gus Falls Journal. ANOTHER VICTORY. Miss Annie Warren Wins Again in the Of fice of the Secretary of the Interior. The local officers of the 'United States land office Friday received word from the secretary of the interior that his office had denied the motion for a review of the contested land case of the Northern Pacific Railway com pany vs. Miss Annie M. Warren. The young woman filed on the land, which is in the Mille Lacs lake region, and the company made a contest, claiming it as railroad land. The local office, the general office and finally the secre- ^r^gaVe-the- aafia-to^isfc^roeh^ "A motion for a review was made by the company almost two years ago and pending a decision on this question, no patent has ever been issued to Miss Warren. Now it is probable that such a patent will issue. She has a valu able claim, having sold the pine on it to the Foley-Bean company of Milaca for $3,000 some time since.St. Cloud Journal-Press. 'HELLO, CENTRAL.' The Promised Telephone Line Has Put in an Appearance. The line of the Northeastern Min nesota Telephone company reached Princeton last Saturday and by night all the connections were made and the line was in use. At' present there is but one phone in town and that is at the Commercial hotel's pay station Soon after the Fourth, however, the switch board will be in place and the instruments for the local exchange will be put in place. The company secured thirty-seven subscribers in a canvass of only a few hours and the number will probably be increased 75 per cent, by the time the exchange is completed. The Commercial will be the central and Col. Newbert will act as the central girl so you will be obliged to be careful what you say to hershe wont flirt. Board of Review. The village board of review met Monday and went over the books of the assessor. There were but few changes to be made, the assessment being very well made. Two merchants put in too large a valuation and the board reduced their assessments. They were F. S. Walker and P. R. Mark. The assessments of the UNION, C. A. Jack, Peterson & Nelson, William Kaliher, M. C. Sausser and H. E. Thomas & Co., were found to be too small and were raised. There was a vigorous kick registered by the St. Anthony & Dakota Elevator company on its assessment. The company placed its property at $1,500 but the assessor discovered' about 7,00abushels of wheat not returned and raised, the assess ment to $6,000. The oompany claims the wheat was not its property and will-fight.' v1 "^jjWork Progressing. i? The work on the waterworks is pro gressing'nicely and the start made is very gratifying to Mr. Patterson, who has charge for the contractors. The trench for the foundation of the water tower has been dug and the concrete base is being pfct in. The stone for the foundation^ of tfie building has VOLUME XXIII. NO. 29. been hauled and now awaits tbe ma sons, who will soon be at work. The hydrants are being distributed along the line of the mains and it will not be many days before the street ex cavation will be begun. There will be plenty,of work for the laborer in Princeton this season without going out of town, and the whole village will be benefitted by the money expended for labor. SUMMER SCHOOL. For the Counties of Stearns, Benton, Sher burne and Mille Lacs. The summer school for the counties of Stearns, Benton, Mille Lacs, and Sherburne, will be held at the St. Cloud Ndrmal school, beginning July 10th and continuing four weeks, clos ing August 4th. Public examinations will be held August 7th and 8th. As ail first and second grade certificates are issued by the State superintendent, it would be well for all teachers to attend this school as the standing received at the summer school will be of great benefit in getting these certificates. A fee of fifty cents will be charged for the use of all books needed from the general library and the text-book library of the Normal school. It is hoped that the railroads will make a round trip rate of one and one iihird fare. Those attending should get a receipt from the agent of whom they buy their railroad ticket. For further information apply to Dr. W. A. Shoemaker, State Normal school, or to C. M. Weber, County Superintendent, St. Cloud, Minnesota. St. Cloud Times. Saturday's Sale. The regular monthly sale of the E. Mark Live Stock company will occur in this village next Saturday, July 1. For this sale the company has secured 200 western horses and colts which ar rived last Friday and anyone wishing to secure a serviceable team cheap will find this a rare opportunity. As here tofore the terms will be cash or time, just as you choose and no one will be obliged to get along without a team on account of a lack of ready money. Re member that these sales always take place on the day set, no matter what the weather may be, and be sure to come in Saturday and secure your choice of the horses offered. ~=r?i,B^ E. MARK, Auctioneer. Won Their Game. The High School base ball club drove to Becker Tuesday and played a game with the local club in a drizzling rain. It was a comedy of errors from start to finish but the Princeton boys came out ahead by a score of 16 to 8, each side being charged with thirteen errors. The teams lined up as follows: P. H. S. BecW.

O'Brien, both of Wyanette, Isanti county, were married at the M. E. parsonage yesterday afternoon by Rev. F. H. Roberts. Last evening at the residence of Mrs. Mary Newton Rev. F. H. Roberts performed the ceremony which joined the lives and fortunes of John E. New ton and Harriet Kately. Both the contracting parties are well known in Princeton, having grown to maturity in the village and a host of friends ex tend congratulations on the happy cul mination of their youthful hopes. Bills announcing the celebration of the Fourth at Anoka are conspicuously posted around the village. The af fair is under the supervision of the Anoka fire department and Chief Wil berg sends a cordial invitation to his Princeton friends to come and see how they do it. Two games of ball have been arranged for that day, between Anoka, Princeton, Champlin and Elk Riv.er clubs. The farmers of Dawson have been victimized by the "steel range ped- dlers'.' and a very vigorous howl is go ing up. The peddlers got the farmers and their wives to sign what purported to be a receipt for the I'ange but later proved to be an ironclad note for $69, the purchase price. It is always safe to refuse to sign any document until you know exactly what it con tains. ___!_ Princeton will not celebrate the Fourth but most of her patriots will'at tend either the celebration at Milaca, Morat Anoka or Sandy Lake. Good programs are promised at each place. 1 *V3 3.
