IS The Annual Summer Training School tWill Soon Be Finished for Mille Lacs and Isanti Counties. The Attendance This Week Shows An- other Increase and the Good Work ContinuesEight Days More. The third week of the summer train ing school is more than half gone and only eight days of the whole session remain, but the interest in the work does not wane. The enrollment con tinues to grow, haying now reached 104, and the board of education have discovered that the building is too small to accommodate the seekers after knowledge and if the summer school is to be given to Princeton an other year a larger assembly room must be provided. They realize that the school is a good thing for Mille Lacs county and the teachers may rest assured that they will be acceptably accommodated when they come again. This week the following new names have been added to the enrollment. Em ma Everett, Big Lake Agnes Forslund, Spring Vale: Lulu Aldridge and Delia Campbell, Milaca Nora Bloomquist and Mattie Tompkins, Spencer Brook Lizzie Clancy and Charles Freer, Princeton Julia and Rose Lafontisee, Foreston Mina Brayton, Livonia. Prof. Frank A. Weld, of the Still water public school, delivered a very interesting and instructive lecture Wednesday afternoon of last week, which was highly appreciated by the school. Nest week will occur the annual picnic and the public is invited to par ticipate and assist the teachers in en joying the only real respite they will har-e from their work while with us. The citizens manifest an interest in the school many of whom ha\ been visitors during the week. All are oerdially invited to attend the'sessions and the instructors will endeavor to make the visit enjoyable. GET YOUR HOOP POIiE. The Tramps Getting Fresh and Need a Lit- rf ,6 tie Attention. ^#8* #wday four tramps .called at Int residence of W. Baldwin, near the brickyards, and asked for some water. Mr. Baldwin was gone and Mrs. Baldwin attempted to serve them with the beverage oa the porch but it didn't come fast enough to suit them and they pushed thear way into the house and helped tbemselves. The water was near the onboard and the intruders discovered a cake and asked for a piece of it. Mrs. Baldwin dared not refuse and helped each to a gener ous slice but their cultivated tastes de manded something more and they be gan to set the table, ordering the now thoroughly frightened woman to bring out a pie and some coiffiee. Mrs. Bald win saw a chance to escape and taking her child fled and remained hidden un til her husband returned. When they entered the house they found that the tramps, with their usual storage ca pacities had made away with all the food in the house. Princeton has not been greatly bothered with hobos eance the hoop pole incident referred to and it might be a good plan to re peat the treatment on the next Weary Waggles that puts in an appearance. Tramps are sensitive to such treat meat and will give the town a wide berth. The C. E Convention Mrs. Barker returned from her trip to California last week and in writing from Mora where she is engaged in summer school work, says: "My west jam trip was a success in every way, only it was brief. The Californians, all we Endeavorers think, are the most generous and hospitable people on the globe. They sent reception com mittees to Sacremento (lOmiles)tomeet every train they gave us songs of wel come, fruit and flowers carried our traveling bags and escorted us to our boarding places. The convention was an immense success from first"'to last and all agreed it was no mistake to take it across the continent, when it had a following of from 15,000 to 20,000 people. There was not an accident on the western roads and we are all glad we went." Nitchies in Washington. The Mille Lacs Indian delegation called upon the secretary of the in terior Wednesday and requested that an inspector be sent to their reserva tion to examine and report upon the encroachment of white settlers. They also asked that one of three townships embraced in their present reservation be set aside for their use until some permanent arrangement can be made by congressional action. The secre tary promised to consider the matter Minneapolis Journal.1 FRANKLIN LIBBY. The Death of a Prominent Mille Lacs County Pioneer. Last Monday morning at 6:30 the earthly life of Franklin LJbby came to an end after five years of suffering. Five years ago Mr. Libby had been to Mille Lacs Lake to visit a homestead claim ho had made there and was ap parently in the best of health. On his way home, however, he was taken with a stroke of paralysis and since that time has been helpless. During these years he suffered several repeti tions of these shocks but his strong constitution refused to break until this week when the end came. Franklin Libby was born in Maine, Sept. 30, 1826, and was therefore in his seventy-first year. From 1852 to 1854 he was a miner in the California gold fields. He returned to Pittsfield, Me., and engaged in farming until 1859 when he came to Minnesota and located at Princeton where he has since resided. He enjoyed the confi dence of his fellow citizens and served them ten years as one of the board of county commissioners and also for the same length of time as a member of the village council, besides filling several minor offices. He had six children by his first wife, four of whom survive him, Lew S., Frank and Fred, of Princeton, and Walte^r, of Minneapolis, who with the widow mourn his death. The funeral occurred Tuesday after noon at 2 o'clock and was largely at tended. M'CLELLAJf. Wm. McClellan, of Foreston, Died Here Monday Morning. Wm. McClellan, who was brought to Princeton several weeks ago, gave up his struggle for life at his mother's residence last Monday morning. Mr. McClellan had been in poor health for about two years but until last winter was not obliged to take his bed. For the past three months he failed rapidly and his death was not unlooked for. William McClellan was born in Maine -44 years ago last June and came to*Minnesota with his father's family 31 years ago. The family first set tled at Elk River where they resided for several years before coming to Mille Lacs county. Mr. McClellan lived in this section ever since heam& to Minnesota, with exception of five or six years which he spent at Hancock, where he was engaged in farming. On his return to this county he became interested in hardwood lumbering and followed this occupation until forced to abandon it by failing health. He leaves a wife and four children, the eldest a girl of 16, to mourn his un timely death. The funeral occurred yesterday af ternoon from his mother's residence, the interment being made in Oak Knoll cemetery. DBOPPED DEAD. A G. Plummer Died of Heart Failure Last Tuesd ay Evening. Another of Princeton's old settlers has gone to his reward. A. G. Plum mer has not been in good health for several years and consequently when pneumonia attacked him two weeks ago he was not in condition to make a hard fight against the ravages of the disease. With careful treatment, however, he had begun to snow signs of recovery this week and when his rheumatism began to trouble him Tuesday evening he sought to relieve it, by walking about the room. He had been on his feet but a few moments when he felt his strength leaving him and started for his bed but just as he reached it he fell and immediately ex pired, death being caused by heait failure brought on by the exercise. Addison G. Plummer was born in 1830 in Montgomery county, Virginia, and was therefore 67 years of age. In 1862 he removed to Illinois and shortly after enlisted in the Nineteenth Illin ois Infantry and served his country till the close of the war. In 1868 he came to Princeton where he resided until mustered into the ranks of his departed comrades. He leaves a wife and three grown children to mourn his sudden death. The funeral services will be conducted by Wallace T. Rines Post, G. A. R., of which he was a member and will probably occur this afternoon. GOOD ROADS. How the Farmers Lose Money by Not Hav ing Them. According to a Northfield paper not long ago a farmer in Rice county lost $800 one season on 5,000 bushels of wheat which he was unable to haul to market in time to take advantage of the flood tide of the market. Facts like these come home to the conscious ness of the farmer through his pocket. The conditions which shut one farmer in Rice county out of the market at the right time, shut out a hundred farmers. And the same conditions ^^3f^/v^-N^ffl^ 4 "MINNESOTA .1 &AKIN< POWDER Absolutely Pure.

The lost sustained in this wa\ by them in one yeai would build a good many miles of first class permanent road, one that would be easy on wheels and horse flesh and that could be kept in perfect repair at a small annual outlay. Of course the original cost of such a road will vaiy widely with the topo graphy of the country it traverses, the facilities for drainage, proximity of stone, gravel, etc., for Roadbed and* surfacing but when once the route has been properly graded and drained and the road solidly built, the cost of keep ing it in repair is comparatively small, and the saving to the community in dividually and collectively so great as to easily overbalance the first cost. Bed Wvng Republican. Reed Knows It. Some time ago Congressman Page Morris went to speaker Reed and en deavored to induce that gentleman to allow him to call up and pass a bill giv ing aid to the sufferers from the flood near Aitkin, Minn Reed refused, and Morris got one of his fellow members to try if he could soften the speaker's heart. The request was made. "No," said Reed, testily, "I won't consent. Don't ask me again.'* "But, Mr. Speaker,'* protested Mor ris' friend, "this may have a serious result for Morris. ^His people will want to know who is to blame for the failure to pass this bill." "Tell them I am the man," said Reed instantly. "Lay the blame on me. The gates of glory have closed on me, and all hell can't hurt me now.""Van," in the Minneapolis Jow nal A Good Start Made. The friends of the new church enter~ prise in Greenbush attacked the pile of lumber on the site Tuesday morning of last week and at 4 30 Saturday after noon had succeeded in erecting a building 24x40x18. The building is enclosed and shingled and the cornice all in place. The labor was almost all donated, several carpenters from this village being among the laborers. The work will now be abandoned until after the farmers fiuish haying and harvesting, when the building will be completed. There is nearly enough labor donated to finisn the interior, except the plastering and other mason work. The projectors are succeeding beyond their fondest hopes. Nineteen Dollars Per Head. Farmers, did you read this top line? It means big figures for you if the heads are numerous enough. It doesn't mean price, either. It's all profit. Nineteen dollars per head is the amount of profit made at the Crookston sub-experiment station on a carload of range cattle which were shipped in and fed here last fall The idea was to determine the facto and if there was money in it to let the farmers know about it.Crookston Times. There will be a concert at the Con gregational church next Thursday evening, Aug. 5, at 8 o'clock. The concert will be conducted by Prof. J. A. Hultman, of North Park^ College, Chicago, who has an unusual gift as a singer, and is generally called the "Swedish Sankey." As a pianist Prof. Hultman holds a high record. He has held concerts in most every important city in the United States and is re markably well received wherever he goes. Don't miss the opportunity of hearing him. Part of the program will be rendered in English. Admis sion, 25 cents. Anyone who has not been over Mille Lacs county during the growing season will be surprised now at the luxuriant growth of the crops. Corn of course is backward, but every other crop prom ises a bountiful yield. Potatoes show a very vigorous growth and nothing but a Very early freeze will ptevent the harvest of a large crop ofithe tubers. n~nrrf
