Them in Princeton, and Good Reason for It.

Many Princeton readers will profit by the following: Mrs. S. Farrington, Princeton, Minn., says: "About two years ago mv kidneys became sluggish. My back pained me almost constantly and my head never ceased to ache. I did not rest well, had a poor ap petite and was nervous. My mother finally got a box of Doan's Kidney Pills for me and after using them a short time, I was entirely relieved. I can still endorse Doan's Kidney Pills in the highest terms. My ad vice to anyone afflicted with kidney complaint is to give this remedy a trial." For sale by all dealers or upon re ceipt of price, 50 cents, Foster-Mil burn Co., Buffalo.

A runaway in which a wagon box was stove in and a pole and neck voke bioken attracted a number ot people to the scene of the mixup on Friday at noon. A team belonging to Herbert Hedin of Dalbo. while standing near the depot, became frightened by a hand car, bioke from the hitching post and ran toward town. Hedin, who was near at hand, followed in hot pursuit and managed to climb into the wagon to which the horses were attached. He succeeded in securing the end of one of the lines but could not leach the othei. Being unable tc guide the noises with a single rein, they collided, when opposite T. Caley's residence, with the rear of a wagon being drawn a team ot horses belonging to John Peterson of Dalbo, and at the same time came in contact with a tree. The force of the impact threw the wagon box from the trucks and Mr. Peterson and his son, Edwaid, who were in the conveyance, were hulled into the street. Fortunately they sustained no injur}, but the tail end ot the wagon box was smashed and the pole of the Hedin wagon and the neck yoke weie broken. Immediately upon coming into con tact wit)i the Peteison wagon the Hedin horses stopped and were easily controlled, but the Peterson horses were badly frightened and for a time reared and cut up all sorts of capers. Men, however, took hold of the bridles and quieted the animals be fore they had an opportunity of get ting awaj. It was fortunate that there were but few teams on the street at the time of the runaway, otherwise it might have proved dis astrous. Death of Alfred A. Dare. Mr. Alfred A. Dare, brother of Hon. A. N.

She was 88 years ot ago. Her husband, who died in 1895, was one of the original townsite proprietors of Princeton, and this village was named after him. Anarchists Under Another Name. Judging fiom newspaper accounts the name "Industrial Workers of the World" must be the self-chosen polite title of anarchists. From the pub lished accounts of their doings there is no other inference to be drawn. Red Wing Daily Eagle. THE PRIKCETOK UKIOK THURSDAY, AUGUST 28, 1913. WILL TAKE THE STOMP SHORTLY Eberhart to Urge State Control ot Utilities at County Fairs. SENATE COMMITTEE MEETS Hearing at St. Paul Attended by Many Persons Hostile to the Gov- ernor's Plans. St. Paul(Special)Governor Eb erhart's campaign for statewide con trol of public utilities is now on and by Sept. 10 at the latest the issue will be the subject of addresses which his excellency has arranged to deliver at a score or more of county fairs throughout the state. The proposi tion was launched at St. Paul in a speech delivered by the governor be fore the Office Men's association and the whole thing In "plate" matter is now running serially in half the coun try papers of the state. For your benefit, Mr. Publisher, the address can be had for the asking. There is no charge. Following the governor's ad dress the subject was aired by the senate committee named to inquire into state control and it will hold an other meeting next month when the proposition will be further gone into. While the address of the governor, which gave his reasons why the utili ties operating in the state should be changed from local to state control, was tavorably received and brought to him much editorial backing and let ters of a congratulatory kind from all over the state, it was a hostile gathering that confronted the senate committee which met two days later to hear from the public on the sub ject Frank N. Stacy, who though he disclaimed any such connection, really represented his excellency, was the only one to offer support in behalf ot the issue. Frank was there with fig ures and arguments and he left no stone unturned in an effort to get into the record the beauties and advantages of the new order of things as advocat ed by Governor Eberhart. The other side was there too with figures and its slogan was home rule from start to finish. And so the day was taken up. It looked to me as a day pretty much wasted. The next day I asked a promi nent "cit" what he thought of state control of public utilities and he asked me to explain. This would indicate that Governor Eberhart has some job before him in interesting the people before the special session of the legis lature which he has promised to call is convened. 4* In the opinion of yours truly the passage of a statew ide control act and the necessary commission, whether it be an addition to the present state railway board or a separate depart ment, is almost certain. As Dooles says, to be a real reformer you must be a pest, all of which probably does not appeal to the leaders of the sev eral Twin City civic uplift organiza tions who are now bucking his excel lency and endeavoring to show that in backing the state control issue he is playing* in with the utilities and the moneyed side of the question who want to be divorced from local con trol. This is the stand they are tak ing and to any one who has followed the governor and his way of getting by with anything he tackles the knowl edge is apparent that they are only helping the proposition along. I watched the bunch at the meeting of the senate committee and while its leaders offered excellent arguments in behalf of the retention of the present system of utility control the knock was ever to the front and it wearied. What good the crowd did was lost in insinuations. 4* &- Knowing how Governor Eberhart stands with the voters of the state, who have elected him twice and are preparing for a third elevation, if those who are honestly opposed to state control of utilities would devote their efforts to a modification instead they would probably succeed. The people cannot be made to see that his excellency is not on the square in this matter, for they have trusted him be fore and found him right. They will insist on the principle of the thing as he advocates it, though they may dif fer with him as to details, and it is these details that the other side, if they want to make any showing what ever, will have to concern themselves with. I doubt if the municipalities will stand for the relinquishment of entire control, but there is a half way to everything, and, as they say, a half loaf is better than none at all. Get wise, you chumps get wise. Speaker Rines of the house, while in St. Paul the other day announced that if a special session of the leg islature was held it would be the last time he would preside or even sit as a member of the body. He is go ing to retire with the close of his term. This is taken by many of his friends to mean that Mr. Rines has decided to try for the state auditor I ship, but Mr. Rines was too foxy to admit the fact. He does not know whether S. G. Iverson, the present incumbent, who is being talked of as #w-4 a gubernatorial possibility, intends to retire or not. b & As to State Auditor Iverson, what the Fillmore county man will do be fore the next primaries roll around is something that is unknown to any body except Mr. Iverson. He makes no confidants and Mr. Rines did not go far out of the way when he said his future as far as the auditorship was concerned was a question. Sam has been making a noise like the governorship. He sent out circulars stating that he had no connections with the "organization," and then he followed it with a little dinner to a bunch, who, he said, were members of his law class, but at no time did he give an inkling of what might happen. Wisconsin, which is the father of state control, is now facing a test of that feature of control relating to public utilities and the outcome will be watched with interest in Minne sota. The law there makes the com mission the sole judge of whether a city should have one or more utility plants of a particular kind and it has just turned down a company which would serve the city of Milwaukee with electricity. The commission re fused to allow the company to oper ate. The concern holds that such powers are in violation of the laws of commerce and trade and has ap pealed. $- 4* 4* That the popular sale of state cer tificates, which was inaugurated two weeks ago when $200,000 worth were quickly gobbled up, is catching on was shown last week when State Treasurer Smith was flooded with in quiries as to when the next sale will be held. The inquiries came from all over the state and Mr. Smith said he believed that he could sell the entire issue of $700,000 if it was thrown on the counter. However, there is not likely to be another sale. Taxes will be coming in shortly and, according to Mr. Smith, they will be ample to take care of further de mands upon the treasury. a| Though Minnesota is now supposed to be enjoying a 2-cent passenger rate the old figure of 3 cents still pre vails when the trip in contemplation takes in a point outside the state. It then becomes interstate. In order to get by this condition of affairs many travelers purchase tickets to the state border at 2 cents per mile and then purchase the balance of the transportation beyond the line. The state legal department, however, says this is evasion and may bring of fenders in conflict with the federal laws governing interstate commerce. Governor Eberhart suggests that if the legislature does not want to create a utilities control commission that it increase the number of rail way commissioners and make them appointive instead of elective. The commission was on the appointive list at one time, but when John Lind was made governor an unfriendly leg islature, fearful that the department would fall into the hands of the Dem ocrats, passed a bill making the com mission elective. Governor Eberhart's promised call of the legislature in special session, which was scheduled for some time in October, may not materialize. Decem ber is mentioned as a possible month for the call, but it will be more likely next January. Governor Eberhart said the other day that he had not fully made up his mind when he will issue the call. The members of the two houses, almost to a man, are op posed to the October date. 4* 4 4* Senator Victor L. Johnson of Chisa go county, who is generally expected to make the race for congress in the new Tenth district, is telling friends that he has not fully decided upon the step. In order, however, that there may be nothing in the way if he does decide to take the plunge Senator Johnson is filing monthly expense lists with Secretary of State Schmahl. This is done in order to comply with the corrupt practices act, which de mands such filing of those who have officeseeking intentions, even though they may not be. carried out to the ex tent of filing for the desired job. 4* The recognition of John Lind by President Wilson, at whose command Mr. Lind proceeded to Mexico on a diplomatic mission, has started the kingmakers to working out his politi cal future. They profess to see in it all a call to the United States senate from Minnesota, with Governor Eber fcart as his rival. There was a time when Mr. Lind hankered for a Wash ington residence and it is said his family shared in his ambitions, but close friends say that desire has long since passed. They point out the fact that if he wanted it he could have any thing desired at the hands of the Wil son administration. James A. Larson, assistant secretary of state, may conclude to make th race for congress. His home is Wa nut Grove, Redwood county. Jim ha just returned from a two weeks' visit to his old stamping grounds, where he saw the leaders and a few of the voters. 4 4 4* St. Paul is to have another mayor alty struggle this coming sprin*. It has been practically decided that Ot to Bremer, the head of the Schmidt Brewing company, will again make the race on the Democratic ticket He failed by a narrow margin at the last city election.
