A golden wedding anniversary is something that does not always come to every married couple, and to those who travel the matrimonial highway for fifty long years together, raise a family and live long in a community and have the esteem and respect of neighbors and citizens generally is indeed a great honor. Mr. and Mrs. John Hatch will have been married fifty years Saturday, the twenty-fifth of June, and while there will be no special event to mark the passing of this golden milestone in their married life, the occasion will be none the less a memorable one. They are among the oldest settlers now living in Princeton, having settled here in 1858, moving from Maine in 1856 and first settling in Estes Brook where they lived two years and then took up their residence in Princeton where they resided until 1874 when they removed to Anoka and lived four years after which, they re turned to Princeton where they have made their home ever since. They were married at Damarris seota, Maine, July 25, 1854. Mrs. Hatch's maiden name was Martha A. Hilton and her home vas at Jefferson, Maine, while her husband resided at Newcastle, Maine. Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Hatch, three of whom are living. They are William L., Mrs. Emma Cordmer, and Mrs. Mary Lynch of Monticello. The daughter, Myra E., died several years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Hatch have four grandchildren. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hatch are quite well preserved in years and Time has not dealt harshly with them. Mrs. Hatch besides raising a family has kept boarders for forty long years and there are many Princeton people to day who when they started out in life boarded with Mrs. Hatch. A real old Mainite and New Englander of the old type, motherly, and with an air of comfort and ease about her, Mrs. Hatch has always made her home a most welcome one to all who have ever had the pleasure of stopping with her and eating her old-fashioned cooking. Her cookies and her pies and her brown bread and baked beans, they are fit for the gods. There are many of her old boarders of years ago who never fail to look her up when they are in Princeton and enjoy a meal at her generous table. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Hatch congratulate them on their golden anniversary and hope that they will enjoy many more years of wedded life. SPECIAL TRAIN TO ST. PAUL. All Arrangements Made And a Bis: Crowd Will Go to Capital City. The arrangements for the running of the special train from Mora to St. Paul on the afternoon of Wednesday, June 29th have been made and the friends of R. C. Dunn have issued posters announcing the running time of the train between Mora and St. Paul. A special rate'of one fare for the round trip has been made with tickets good returning on July 2nd. The people of Princeton held a meet ing last Friday night and guaranteed the cost of the special train, but there are so many who desire to go that enough tickets will be sold to make good the cost of the train. The run ning time of the train will be as fol lows: Leave Mora 2:00 p. m: Ogilvie 2:10, Milaca 2:50, Brickton 3:15, Princeton 3:25, Zimmerman 3:35, Elk River 4:00 Anoka 4:20. The train will arrive at St. Paul be fore supper time and the Dunn dele gates from the various towns in this section will keep busy talking for the Princeton candidate for governor and they will be pretty apt to leave their foot prints where they go, for they propose to see that the- uninformed are duly and properly informed until the hour of calling the convention to order. The special train will afford all who desire to go to the cities a good op portunity and at half rates. i^'if^Wf^^^^ KVC. DUNN, Publisher. Terms $1.00 per Year.

Miss Ida Schimming and Miss Sadie Guild Are Given Their Diplomas as Trained Nurses. The graduating exercises of the Northwestern hospital at the M. E. church Tuesday night was an event of importance in this community, in that it marks a step forward in the growth of an institution of which Princeton can well be proud. The graduating of trained nurses from a Princeton hospital is deserving of more than passing notice. No calling in life brings the human heart and soul in closer touch with humanity than does that of professional nursing. The chapters that might be written of this noble work here in our own community would reveal that side of life where faithful doctors and faithful nurses have battled against disease and the results of accidents which so often im peril life. It was with more than common inter est tfrat the people of Princeton wit nessed the passing of Miss Ida Schim ming and Miss Sadie Guild from their hospital work to the world's work where with their training they will take up those duties for which they have been fitted by their two years' course in the Northwestern hospital. The church was prettily decorated with potted plants and flowers which were placed about the platform, and the class motto "Non Nobis Solum" in green and white hung over the platform. Seated on the platform were Revs. W. E. J. Gratz and F. A. Shore, Drs. H. C. Cooney and G. Ross Caley. Miss Augusta Peterson, superintend ent of the hospital, and Miss Winifred VanLoon, former superintendent, and also the members of the graduating class. The orchestra which furnished the musical selections was composed of J. S. Anderson of Milaca, S. S. Pet terson. B. O Brown, Henry, Avjary Fred Johnson, John Moegfcr, Herbert Anderson and Mrs. Ben Soule. They did well and contributed largely to the success of the exercises. They plajed as the opening selection, the popular two-step, "The Northern Coon" written by Jack Stromwell of Foreston, and which has just been orchestrated. At the conclusion of the selection Rev. F. A. Shore offered prayer. Miss Ida Schimming chose as her graduating topic, "Who is the Trained Nurse." If her essay is any criterion she ought to be very successful as a trained nurse for she seemed to pos sess a knowledge of what constitutes a well-trained nurse. She said: "In every station in life in which God places woman she should be kind, patient and sweet tempered, a wise counsellor and a true friend. An in telligent woman can fill any position capable of being filled by a woman, and to v/hat more enobling and ex alted sphere can she aspire than that of a trained nurse." Besides hospital training a nurse should possess love of God and fellow creature, strength of body and mind, cheerfulness, belief that cleanliness is next to Godliness, refinement of char acter, knowledge of human nature, quickness of comprehension, and ac tivity with unlimited patience, and of course perseverance. She must have all her senses under perfect control and must possess in an eminent degree that calm dignity so becoming to woman in every sphere of life, and es sentially so when she holds the im portant position of nurse. The nurse must ever remember that she is the connecting link between the doctor and the patient, the doctor's truthful and untiring friend, never forgetful of the maxim. "A well disciplined nurse will never diagnose or prescribe." "Like our divine Lord she goes about doing good to suffering human ity, and as a cup of cold water given in God's name is not to go unre warded, what a glorious testimony will her life labor call forth on the day of eternal retribution, if she is true to her calling." Reference was made to the hard, earnest work that must be accom plished by the nurse before she can receive the smiles and gratitude of the convalescing jpatient or friends. It is well to remember that trained nurses are only human and if they are to benefit humanity their own health is one of the first considerations. Pas sing over the years of toil, discipline, and homesickness, bright and dark days which come to every nurse dur ing her training school days Miss Schimming "referred to the eve of gra&V "J^'*$m/!$f, IK^ilfSg^^PFPR^S THE PRINCETON UNIONPSOOIETV.!i^^WflSJ^^^^^JSW^^?! uatio with its wealth of pleasan and enjoyable festivities, congratulations, and lovely and fragrant flowers. Ad dressing her companion she referred to the dainty uniform, and she said "Let us honor it as a sacred shield, even as a Sister of Charity loves her habits so should we our simple garb which will be our only protection in future life when we leave our loved Alma" Mater, the Northwestern." J. S. Anderson of Milaca played "Massa in the Cold, Cold Ground" as a violin solo, with piano accom paniment by Mrs. Ben Soule. Mr. Anderson rendered the selection in a way $iat called for an encore which he responded to. With the class motto "Non Nobis Solum," (not merely for ourselves) as her topic Miss Guild spoke in a re trospective and prospective way of the work of the trained nurse. She said: "For two years we have looked for ward to this occasion as the crowning reward of our labors and the com mencement of independent nursing. Thus as winter changed into beautiful spring^we changed and laid away our probationer's gowns and reverently donned the nurse's uniform of blue and white. With increasing interest we passed from serving trays and dusting, making beds and doing the minor treatments to night duty when throughout the long hours we watched and toiled but hailed the first gleam ings of the new day which so often brings rest to the weary sufferer. "As the botanist pinches off a with ered petal from a pure white rose so we would go from our Alma Mater en tering into homes where disease and illness are eating up the very roots of life and help restore them to health and usefulness. Our training here among the sick and dying has taught us how and why to live, not for our selves alone but for humanity to live with all our might and give out life by our inspiration and cheerfulness. We are brought face to face with death and suffering in their worst form.. We are often taken into friendly confidence with our patient's family, but woe to that nurse who for one mo ment forgets the sublimity of her vo cation. 7 In going from the training school Mjs^Gutld said that they stood on .the grank paltform of human, allevia tion, and in entering the larger fields of useful service she said: "Let our united prayer be this little one com posed by Adeline E. Arnold: 'Oh, Father, make me brave and strong I pray to live this life as thou would have me live. Oh. make me worthy, Lord, to live this life in work ing for loved humanity help us to aid the mortal in this strife and lead him through the darkness onto thee.'' "To our superintendent words fail me in expressing our appreciation and gratitude for the infinite interest you have manifested in your unselfish les son of real life. How often when we stand alone we will miss your kindly counsel. How difficult it will be to work sometimes without your directing hand and supervision. We can only do it by remembering the precepts and principles instilled into us while under your care and instruction." Miss Guild addressed kind words of appreciation to the doctors, and the members of the hospital staff, the training school committee, the nurses with whom they have associated, and to her classmate she said: "To my classmate with whom I have labored for the past two years and who has watched each other's interests and ad vancements with a feeling of common sharing, who has appreciated the un failing sympathies, and whose paths are now so widely diverging, I bid farewell, trusting that we may live up to the precepts instilled in our hearts and thereby intelligently fulfill our duty and motto, "Non Nobis Solum." Miss Lulu Neumann played "The Shepherd Boy's Evening Song" as a piano solo, and returned in answer to an encore. The graduation address was de livered by Rev. W. E. J. Gratz who spoke on the evolution of the modern hospital and the trained nurse. He said that the graduation event was a mile stone in the history of Princeton and he referred to the rapid growth that has been made during the last three years in which time over a quarter of a million dollars in new buildings and improvements had been made. Princeton had great cause to be thankful for the establishment of the Northwesern nospital which is do ing such a good work here. The his tory of hospitals was more modern than ancient, though the birth of Christ and his teachings had estab lished in the hearts of men the idea from which started the work of minis tering to the sick and distressed. "The devil take the hindermost" and "the survival of the fittest" were not the ideal standards of mankind when Christ's teachings awakened the wnrlH,. fnr TTia world for Hi work was to take the weak and the fallen, the lame and the blind and make them strong and words of wisdom, as well as congratu lations and well wishes. Dr. Cooney congratulated the young ladies on the fact that they were graduating at a time when Nature was in its happiest mood and bursting bud and air and bloom made the world so pleasant and promising. He referred to the work by the graduates during the past two years and pointed out to them the re quirements for their newer and broader sphere. It was their duty to do what they ought and not what they wish. He said it was one thing to be led and another to bear the burden. He pointed out the evils of gossip, and admonished them to be discrete and cautious. They should have such home life and surroundings as would best fit them for their work. Health was a great essential and the grad uates were given many valuable sug gestions along this line. When Dr. Cooney was about ready to hand" over the diplomas he referred to their final work in the hospital, where they had seen their last con valescent and been at the last death bed. They had completed their course of training and study, heard their last lectures and were about to continue their work under different conditions. They^received parting words of praise and congratulation and were handed their diplomas. Mrs. H. C. c6oneftfo-~ffi$tCa$fe Nachbar sang "Till We Meet Again" with piano accompaniment by Mrs. Soule and violin obligato by J. S. Anderson. They wece encored but as the hoar was late did not return. Miss Augusta Peterson, superin tendent of the hospital, presented the class pins to the graduates and bade them God speed. This concluded the graduation exercises, after which many friends of the graduates went forward to congratulate them. WILL MIRICK INJURED. Team Frightened at Auto and Turns Bug gy Over, Dragging Occupant Some Dis tance. Last Sunday night about eight o'clock a livery team driven by Will Mirick took fright at a passing auto and became unmanagable. tipping over the buggy and dragging Mr. Mirick who was caught under the buggy some distance before he could extricate himself. The team was standing in front of the Keith resi dence as the auto passed and did not seem to get scared at the machine un til it had gone by when all of a sud den the team turned sharply and started to run when Mr. Mirick pulled heavily on the lines and brought them about in the opposite direction suddenly which turned the buggy completely over. A young lady who was in the buggy at the time fell so that she was not caught in the rig but Mr. Mirick fell under the buggy when the team started to run. The horses ran a short ways and soon broke lose from the buggy and were caught near Solberg's blacksmith shop. When Mr. Mirick was picked up he was in an unconscious condition and was taken at once to the North western hospital where Dr. Armitage examined him but could find no bones broken, though it could not be ascer tained at the time whether he was in jured internally or not, symptoms showed that he was suffer ing from brain concussion. He mained unconscious and in a delirious condition at times but early yesterday morning his mind cleared up and he became rational, and it is expected that he is now out of danger.

Rev. Gratz spoke of the noble work of Florence Nightingale in the Cri mean war and of the the work of those who have in more modern times taken up the great calling with an inspira tion from the English heroine. He closed by a few personal remarks to the graduating class, and said "Give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you." After a selection by the orchestra Dr. H.

Encouraging Reports by Immigration Convention DelegatesA Very Dunnish Tinge. The Republicans of Minnesota are moving so rapidly toward the nomi nation of Robert C. Dunn for gover nor that the opposition is demoral ized. Collins is beaten to a standstill. If not., why all this cry, exclusively from Collins men, "Let's have a new of the Northwestern candidate?" Why this talk of a corn diplomas to Miss Guild, presentation counsel and bination between Collins and Eddy? If the State machine campaign against Dunn has not broken down, why this revival of the Van Sant third term talk among the governor's official creatures? If Dunn did not have the opposition stampeded in Hennepin, why should that opposition be striv ing to use the broken ambitions of Eustis? The fact is that Collins has been im possible ever since the yawning gap between his corporation record and his merger-busting pretensions was exposed to public view. Eddy's candidacy never was to be taken seriously. What are we to think of a man who gravely attempts to make the tariff issue the basis of a campaign for the governorship of Minnesota? This is not merely jocose it's a roaring farce. Then, there is Van Sant. For months he has lent all the influence, prestige and patronage of the State government of Minnesota to an un scrupulous campaign against R. C. Dunn. Failing by underhanded, un fair methods to achieve his object, seeing Collins fall deeper and deeper into the slough of despond, the gover nor is conspiring against the unwrit ten constitution of Minnesota, the anti-third term principal. But the people will have none of it. Gov. Van Sant should so conduct himself that he may retire from office next January with a fair measure of dig nity.

As for this Eustis talk, it is not likely that the name of the only Re publican nominee for governor that was ever beaten in Minnesota will ever be mentioned in the convention of June 30. At this writing it is difficult to see anything that can prevent the nomina tion of R. C. Dunn for governor by the coming State Republican conven tion.Duluth News-Tribune. THEY ALL TALKED DUNN. Immigration Convention Delegates Tell of Dunn Sentiment Over the State. The immigration convention brought many Republicans to St. Paul last week, and if the opinions of a major ity of these Republicans is a true in dication of the gubernatorial situa tion, R. C. Dunn of Princeton will be nominated on the first ballot. These Republicans came from all sections of the State, representing the nine con gressional districts, and the prevail ing sentiment among them is that Dunn, instead of losing ground as Judge Collins' friends claimed, has gone ahead rapidly. One of the leading Rupublicans, who knows as many Minnesota politicians as any man in the State., sized up the gubernatorial situation as follows: "Dunn will go into the convention with three districts solid, the Third the Fourth and the Eighth. He will get a majority of the delegates of the First, the Second, the Sixth and the Ninth, and he has a good fighting show in the Fifth and the Seventh. Should he lose Hennepin county and not get one of the 113 delegates, he though the will be nominated just the same. I have heard so much talk that re- Collins is strong in the southern part of the State. That is not the case at all. Collins' stronghold is in the western part of the State. In my opin ion there is only one county in the First congressional district, Mower, that Judge Collins will get. Houston, Winona,' Olmstead and Waseca are for. Dunn, and Freeborn, Fillmore and Dodge have local candidates. Steele 's Count_ is one of the counties in which. Miss Lillian Willson of Blue Hill who is teaching in district 15 will have a school picnic July 1st in Bailey grove where Santiago celebrated the Eustis sentiment is quite predominent Fourth of July last year.
