Leonard D. the Is year old son of
Sylvester Russell, died of diphtheria
last Friday, after sickness of but
three days. Several of the family have
been sick with the dread disease for
some time. The rest are doing we'll
and are on a fair road to recovery.
Jacob Larson, of Foreston, the man
who was injured last Thursday, by a
log rolling on him, died Saturday
night from his injuries. DR.. Tarbox,
who attended him, did all that human
aid could for the unfortunate man, but
no human agency could save his life.
Why not make the legal rate of in
terest Is per cent. and the contract
price 25 per cent. and upwards? That
would suit Mr.. Stivers' Brainerd con-
stituents. Mr.. Price misrepresented
nine-tenths of his Mile Laos county
constituency by voting against the six
and eight per cent. interest bill.
Depot Agent Chadbourne has gone
on his annual vacation. He will spend
few days at Elk River and then make
tour of some of the southern states,
being gone about six weeks. w. E.
Widger, who has until lately been in
the employ of the Omaha road in Ne
braska, will act as agent during his
absence.
We notice by the last Minneapolis
Sunday papers, that J. L. Brady of this
place, sold his property in the Nicollet
House block for $4,000 and that Mr..
3. Doyle Esq, was the agent who
transacted the business. Mr. Doyle
visited Princeton last summer and like
all others, was favorably impressed
with our village.
The editor is laid up this week with
a severe cold. The ''devils'' don't like
to have anything to do with writing
items for the paper for fear that the ST..
Cloud Times, or some other sheet, will
comment on the improved appearance
Of the paper when the editor gets
around again. AS he is. very modest
we don't wish to spoil him in that way.
A merry party of about thirty of the
young people of this village went up to
Soule's Crossing last Friday evening on
the accommodation train. A social hop
was INDUCED in and a nice lunch was
served at midnight. Dancing was kept
up with spirit until the arrival of the
down train, Saturday morning. One
and all of the participants vowed they
had had a jolly time.
The town supervisors were in session
all day Tuesday at the town clerks Of
flee, it being town settlement day and
the last meeting of the board before
the annual town election, which comes
off next Tuesday at the village hall,
when the township officers for the en-
suing year will be elected. Trot out
your candidates, boys, and call at the
UNION office and order your tickets.
G. H. Chadbourne, @. H. Chute, B.
D. Grant and VIM. Bouclk departed for
Minneapolis, Tuesday morning, to
serve as jurors at the term of the U. S.
court which convened in that city on
the same day. It is safe to say that
each will return greatly enriched in
this worlds goods, as they receive $500
per day for their services, and will
have to pay $3.50 per day for board and
lodging.
Sol PARROTS Hotel, at the mouth of
Bradbury Brook, caught fire Monday
evening, and came very near being re-
duced to ashes. Mr.. Parrott and the
hostler were alone at the time, and it
was with difficulty that they succeeded
in squelching the fiery monster, but
not until it had burned a ten foot hole
