WILL EXHIBIT HERE State Board of Health Will Give an Anti-Tuberculosis Exhibition at the Opera House. The Object is to Enlighten Public in Means of Preventing and Erad- icating White Plague. The anti-tuberculosis exhibition which is coming to Brands' opera house next Thursday and Friday under the auspices of the Minnesota state board of health is the plan being adopted all over the country for the purpose of enlightening the general public as to how to eradicate tuber culosisto present the best known means of prevention and cure in a manner which can be easily under stood by all. Much valuable in formation may be gained from look ing over the exhibition carefully. The exhibit consists of numerous photographs, statistical charts, mottoes, etc., which are displayed on the walls also window tents, model rooms, etc. No specimens of diseased organs are shown. Local and outside speakers will address the meetingsof which there will be four in all, two afternoon and two eveningand hundreds of stereopticon slides will be used. The opening meeting is planned especially for the pupils from the schools. Each program will be different from the preceding one, so everyone should endeavor to attend as many as pos sible. This crusade against tuber culosis should prove a great benefit to the public. Two Famous Coaches Fooled Those two celebrated coaches, Billy Doane of the Terriers and Frank Goulding of the Alumni, scooted down to the twin cities in Frank's road cart on Saturday to witness the struggle between the Minnesota and Chicago elevens. And they saw it. They were in their seats ahead of time, and as the Minnesota team en tered the field Billy nudged Frank and remarked, "That's the Chicago fel lows, and they look as if they would lose." "Rah for Chicago!" roared Frank, and Billy roared too. "Here are the boys," said Billy, as the Chicago team came marching in, and there was another cheer, louder than the first. "Want to bet, gentlemen?" asked a man who passed along with a big roll of bills. "We'll take a shanc on Minnesota," said Frank, and he and Billy bet an even dollar or two. Pretty soon the game was on and the Minnesota boys proceeded to put it all over the Windy city chaps. Thinking that Chicago was scoring, Billy and Frank looked glum, but when the rooters set up a deafening cheer, they cheered also, in order, as Frank said, "to show that there was no malice aforethought." The game went on apace, the Minnesotas forg ing ahead and scoring at every point, but Billy and Frank were still under the impression that Chicago was in the lead. At the close of the game, wihch terminated in a victory of 30 to 0 in favor of the home team, Frank remarked to Billy, "We've lost our bets, but I wouldn't mind that if those Chicago blokes had not done up the Minnesotas so badly. Let's go down town. And they went. Outside of the Journal office a big crowd had gathered and Frank stopped his machine to scan the bulle tin board. Staring him in the face were the figures: "Minnesota, 30 Chicago, 0." Can't make me believe that," said Frank, "the blasted re porter must have been drunk." "Can't make me believe it either," said Billy. Shortly after they bought a Tribune "extra" and in big figures on the front page found: "Minne sota, 30 Chicago, 0." Not satisfied, they visited several hotels and made inquiries they also asked the police man on the beat. All told the same story- Minnesota, 30 Chicago, 0. "What sort of a job is this you have been putting up on me, Billy?" asked Frank. "You used to be one of the star guys on the Minnesota team, but you don't seem to know the bunch when you see them. Or did you tell me wrong for purposes best known to yourself? I thought Minne sota was losing all the time but in stead the boys were winning right along." "Frank," replied Billy, I believe 1 have untangled this puzzle. You see the Chicago fellows' uniforms are similar to the ones the Minnesota -eleven wore last yearhence the mis- take." "Well, I'll be dodgasted," replied Frank, and the two of them stepped into a drug store to take a Mmiiumti Historical Society soda and incidentally to indulge in a good laugh. They both declared they would keep the story a secret, but Oscar Wikeen and Vernon Dickey, who came up with them from Minneapolis, let the cat out of the bag. On the way up the machine ran into a ditch five miles this side of Elk River and the services of a farmer and his team had to be obtained to drag the car out. This caused a delay of two hours. The party reached .home at 1:15 Sunday morning still laughing over the foot ball mixup. Shot With 33-Caliber Rifle. Roe, the 8-year-old son of Judge W. V. Sanford, while at play in R. E. Sanford's yard on Saturday after noon, was shot in the right \eg. The bulletfrom a 22-caliber rifleentered the leg above the knee and emerged about six inches above the point of penetration. The boy's father has the bullet, one side of which was flat tened, probably from contact with a bone, in his possession. It was found inside Roe's trousers. Roe and other children who were playing with him heard a succession of shots, but it was not until the little fellow saw blood trickling down his leg that he realized he had been injured. With the blood came the pain and the boy commenced to cry. Clarence Sanford, the judge's cousin, who was not far away,went to the boy's assistance and, discovering he had been shot, started across a clearing to a place where he heard voices. There he found three boys Sjoblom, Engebretson and Devlinone of whom, Sjoblom, had a 22-rifle in his hands. The boys said they had been shooting birds. While the injury was in all proba bility inflicted accidentally, this is no excuse for boys being permitted to handle firearms. The law governing the matter is specific and should be more strictly enforced. Swept the Wrong: Chimney. A drunken chimney-sweeper at tracted considerable attention in Isanti on Tuesday. It appears that men engaged in that kind of work fre quently indulge in doses of "voice tonic," and after making a deal to sweep a chimney at the News office he procured a ladder and got busy on top of the next building. *A few minutes later he appeared down stairs and called on Dentist Anderson in an effort to extract money without pain. Unsuccessful in this, he went to the back yard and was soon engaged in a fist fight with Nils Carlson, owner of the building, who happened to be in town that day. The News building had been entirely forgotten, and after making a nuisance of himself around town the chimney-sweeper was driven out of the village by Marshal Schoen rock.Isanti News. Two Children Barned to Death Two children, aged 4 years and 18 months respectively, son and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cox, were burned to death at Becker on Friday afternoon last. The fire started in the second story of the Dyson build ing and the two children were playing alone in the sitting room above the store. Smoke was noticed issuing from the building, and when a rescue was attempted the flames poured out of the door so fiercely that the men were driven down the stairs and forced to leave the children to their fate. The fire spread rapidly and totally destroyed the store and its stock of merchandise, the town hall, and damaged many other buildings. The loss is estimated at over $13,000, partially covered by insurance. Princeton Potato Market. Potatoes have been coming in steadily during the week and prices have ruled a trifle higher on some varieties. Eighty-three cars have left here since the last issue of the Union, most of them going to the southern states. This makes a total of 845 cars shipped from this point since the season opened, and hundreds more will leave before it closes. The majority of the farmers have taken their potatoes out of the ground, but the quantity marketed is said to be small compared with that stored in cellars and warehouses and placed in pits. The Chappie With a Gun. This is the time of the year when we occasionally see a city chappie, fully equipped for the pursuit of deer, alight at the depot and proceed toward the Rum river bottoms, where he has been told big game abounds in great number. As a general thing the chappie is attired in a natty hunt ing coat of scarlet broadcloth with brass buttons, a red cap decorated with peacock feathers, buckskin breeches and a pair of high patent leather boots with fancy military tops, while he wears gauntlets similar to those worn by Governor Eberhart's cavaliers. He also carries a fancy B. C. DUNN, Publisher. Terms $1.00 Per Year. PRINCETON, 31ILLE LACS COUMTT, MINNESOTA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1911, gun borrowed for the occasion. As we said before, he goeth forth into the Rum river bottoms and sneaketh around in the brush. Soon he espieth a dairy herd in the distance and crawleth toward it on hands and knees. He gets within shooting distance and a cow with crumpled horns pricks up its ears and starts toward him to investigate. He raises his gun, his hands tremble and he be comes so scared that he cannot pull the trigger. He drops the gun, but picks it up again and decamps from the Rum river bottoms as fast as his legs will carry him. He goes back to the city and tells his friends that deer are plentiful in the vicinity of Prince ton but it is not safe to go into the woods after themthat bears, wolves and panthers lie in wait for the hunter and that many men have been killed. '__ Underrated His Ambition A distinguished apostle of road building was addressing a meeting of farmers in the state of Washington several years ago, just when there was a contest going on for a United States senatorsoip. The speaker was not in the senatorial race, but his speech so pleased one farmer that he interrupted him: "You're the man I want for senator." The speaker paid no attention to him. But presently the farmer again called out: "You're the man for senator." "My friend," said the speaker, "you are kinder than you are wise. Let me ask you a question. Do you know the name of either senator from Massachusetts?" "No, sir." "Of either senator from Ohio?" "No, sir." "Of either senator from Virignia?" "No, sir." "Well, do you know who Julius Caesar was?" "Yes, I've heard of him." "Well, now, a mere senator, even from any one of the most famous states, is not well enough known for his name to have reached your ears. But the Roman emperors were road builders and, though Julius Caesar has been dead more than two thousand years, you know who he was. We are here not to consider such a small, transitory subject as a senatorship, but such a lasting and noble subject as road building and you have un dervalued the importance of this meet ing and underrated my ambition. Do not interrupt me again unless you have something to say worthy of the occasion.World's Work. The Old State Still Dry. Maine retains constitutional prohi bition. Of course everybody is in terested in the way Maine went. Un til Monday night the "wets" claimed the state by a very small majority. Then it was that Governor Plaisted and his council decided to accept the corrections in the vote of four towns cast in the September special elec tion, and reversed the "wet" decision to that of '"dry." Returns on elec tion day indicated a majority of 300 against the repeal of the prohibitory amendment, but later the official can vas showed a majority of 26 for re peal. It was found by comparison, however, that in four cases the figures of the town clerks were reversed from their early returns and in each case the clerks said the error was in the official figures. After hearings on the subject the governor and council took the matter under consideration, and the result was the announcement last night that Maine retained constitu tional prohibition by 758 votes. Chicago Thrown Down Hard. Minnesota's football team over whelmed Chicago on Saturday at Northrup field by a score of 30 to 0. Chicago was outplayed in every de pratment of the game and made first down only twice. Chicago never was in striking distance of the Minnesota goal. Minnesota made three touch downs, Morrell made a place* kick and Smith dropped two field goals. Minnesota tore the Chicago line, skirted her ends and worked the for ward pass successfully almost at will. Scruby, the Chicago kicker, did not get a chance for a drop kick during the game. Terriers Versus Alumni. Frank Goulding's Has-Beens will line up on Thanksgiving day against Billy Doane's Terriers at the fair grounds, and at this time both sides are confident of winning. The Has Beens (alumni) are training hard for the fray and the Terriers, who have fully recovered from their recent shock, are also putting in consider able time in practice. Frank Gould ing says, "You may make fun of my 'crockery-legged' eleven, as Doane calls them, but they'll show those mis named Terriers a trick or two on Thanksgiving day." THE BLIND OPTIMIST Frederick S. Attwood, Grand Chan- cellor of Knights of Pythias, Addresses Local Lodge. Noted Orator Will Deliver His Famous Lecture on -'Happiness" in Princeton December 12. Fred S. Attwood of Minneapolis, grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, and known as "The Blind Optimist," delivered an address on Tuesday evening before the members of Princeton lodge No. 93, and a large number of the boys turned out to listen to him. His subject was "Fraternalism," and he handled it in a manner of which few men are capa bleevery man in the hall was spell bound by his masterful discourse. Mr. Attwood is both a logician and an orator, and in many respects he is a remarkable man. Apparently with out effort he gives out those precious gems of thought that are so helpful to every mind. The Knights of Pythias are fortunate in having so noble a character for their grand chancellor. On February 17, 1905, Frederick S. Attwood, then 29 years of age, while pinning an emblem on a newly-in itiated member of the Pythians, sud denly lost the sight of one eye and in six weeks from that time he became totally blind. "This," says he, "was the greatest blessing that ever came into my life." Mr. Attwood was formerly a Con gregational minister and later went on the lecture platform, where he gained much prestige. His lecture on "Happiness" has brought forth many deserving eucomiums from the press of the country. This lecture will be delivered in the K. P. hall on Decem ber 12 and the members of the lodge will ^ssue invitations to their friends to hear this eloquent speaker. The Pioneer Press says of Mr. Att wood: "His lecture, which was heard by an audience that packed the build ing, was a careful consideration of the sources of unhappiness with a vifw of determining by elimination wherein lies the secret of happiness. Theaddress was replete with stories &nd word pictures of true artistic merit. His philosophy is that of self help and happiness of others, and it comes with added force from one who has turned his blindness into a bless ing to himself and others. Mr. Att wood has a fine presence and an elo quent and forceful address." Minnesota Bred Horses They are herea couple of carloads of the best horseflesh ever placed on the market in this or any other town, including mares with colts by their sides and some of the very finest farm and general purpose horses obtain able. These horses were selected by my representative, who covered hundreds of miles of country in order to secure just the kind of stock that the farmers in this territory are look ing for. Every animal is Minnesota bred, is young, and as sound as a dollarthe sort that is bound to sell rapidly. So if you are in need of a team or a single horse for any pur pose whatsoeverhorses that will prove satisfactorycall at my barn in Princeton and make your selection. 41-tfc Aulger Rines. The American Goose. The adoption of the eagle for the national emblem may be all right but it might have been better to have adopted the goose. One walked into a church in an Illinois town last month during the service and drove half the congregation out of doors be fore flying through the wnidow. The old gander was mad all over. It was a case of nerves with the people who fled from the church, showing that they did not have the benefit of the tonic effect of golden grain belt beers, the greatest digesters and nerve helps. Secure your supply of Sjoblom Bros., Princeton. Even the Indians Want Roads. Clarence B. Miller of Duluth, con gressman from the eighth district, visited Cloquet on Sunday and made a tour of inspection over the Fond du Lac reservation in his capacity as a member of the Indian committee. Mr. Miller found that the principal need on the Fond du Lac is roads, as many of the allotments have been aban doned and many sold owing to their inaccessibility. Postal Savings Bonds.

One of the live real estate hustlers in this vicinity is Wellington King of Spencer Brook hardly a week passes but what he makes several sales and the men he sells to are a very desira ble-class of pebpleprogressive Ger man farmers from Iowa and Illinois. Wellington is only a plain farmer, but he can give the city and village real estate men pointers on selling farm lands. Ireland Deserving: of Cardlnalate. It is gratifying to all Americans, irrespective of church affiliations, to learn that this country is to have three more cardinals. The numbers, activity, loyalty, generosity and zeal of the American church deserve this recognition. But we believe the Catholics of this MINNESOTA 1 HISTORICAL I 3SQ.B7Y, VOIUME XXXY. NO. 46 country will be sadly disappointed, as certainly every citizen of Minnesota is, that Archbishop John Ireland is not of this honored trio. In ability, in accomplishment, in churchly digni ty, in devotion, he is the peer of any of those chosen, and none can be held in higher regard by non-Catholics. John Ireland has done for his church in the vast western country a service which has been of inestimable value. He has held it virile, vigor ous, vigilant, without the slightest friction with other denominations and with a constantly increasing mutual kindly feeling. Appreciating the added dignity ac corded by his holiness is mingled, therefore, the regret that this great man and zealous prelate has not been chosen for this recognition.Duluth News Tribune. Inherited From the Kitchen Cabinet. Tom Noswal must be as innocent as a sucking dove, which is not at all probable, if he doesn't know that when Eberhart took the reins of government, the state, under the management of the kitchen cabinet, was completely dominated by the brewery and all other interests. Gov. Eberhart may not be anxious to shake off that dominance, but if he were he could not so easily do it as may be imagined. It is a condition, not a theory, that confronts us, and that condition was brought about by the kitchen cabinet's delusive slogan: "Let the people rule." Tom Noswal should let the people know the real truth, for with the truth they will be in a better condition to free them selves from the heavy hand of the shyster politicians that turn the busi ness affairs of the state to the inter ests.Slay ton Gazette. Creamery in Sound Condition The farmers' creamery of Foreston is evidently standing firmly on its legs. It is a young establishment but its last quarterly report shows that it is on the road to prosperity. Over $7,000 was paid out for butterfat dur ing the three months ending October 31 and more than $8,000 was received for butter. The report shows a net profit of $214.97 and $146.97 in the treasury. Not so bad for an- infant industry. Postofflc to Change Location The postoffice will be transferred on or about December 1 from its present location to the building formerly oc cupied by Clarence Hill and owned by Henry Newbert. Mr. Newbert has been notified by the postoffice depart ment that his bid has been accepted. The contract, among other things, calls for lighting, heating, furnishing and janitor work, and the lease will extend for a period of ten years. Institution Flourishing. F. H. Bartelt, buttermaker at the farmers' creamery at Pease, was in town on business Thursday. Asked how the creamery is prospering, Mr. Bartelt said that much more butter has been made this year than last and that the patrons are gradually increasing. The creamery has a fine dairying country surrounding it and there is no apparent reason why it should not prosper. St Cloud Normal Overcrowded Owing to the pressure of numbers only those will be admitted into the state normal school at St. Cloud at the beginning of the next term, who have previously been enrolled in the institution, or whose applications have already been accepted.
