PRINCETON: LEADS.

Our New Postoffice is the Best in the
State Outside the Cities.
The patrons of the Princeton post
office We're very agreeably surprised
this week when they called upon POST
master Cordiner in his new quarters.
The new case, which is now in posi-
tion, is very nicely designed piece of
furniture. It is of hardwood, antique
finish, and a product Of the skill Of E.
Paulle, of Minneapolis, who is we'll
known here. The case is IA . shaped,
being very convenient shape for dis
tributing, allowing the distribution of
mail with very little walking, thus adj
ding materially to the speed with
which the mails can be taken care Of.
On one side is the entrance to the mail
room, while on the other is the money
order window, the general delivery
window being the apex: Mr.. Cordiner
has a nicely arranged room behind the
case for transacting the business of the
government, being first class in every
appointment. Princetonites will not
be exaggerating when they. say this
village has the best country postofflce

Z
D. w Bruckart's cases will come on
for trial Friday and Saturday.
Charles Anderson, of Minneapolis,
an old resident of the county, was a
witness Monday.
Fiske & Young were the attorneys
in the Young damage suits against the
Great Northern.
Cy Wellington, of ST. Paul, appeared
for the company in the railroad fire
cases, assisted by Charles Keith.
Those who have notye tsecured their
final or citizens, papers will be given
another opportunity Friday and Satur-
day as court will still be in session.
This is the last opportunity before the
spring elections.
County Attorney Giddings was in
Princeton yesterday to attend to the
taxation of cost in a case tried two
years. ago. He feels proud of the rec
ord made by the Republicans in Anoka
county this month when they gave
Morris double the majority Towne re-
ceived two years ago.
1t is quite evident that another adj
journed term of court will be necessary
before the calendar will be entirely
cleared. The accumulation is great
and entails an immense amount of UNI
necessary labor and expense in carrying
it from one term to another and it
should be disposed Of before the next
annual term. AS the cases on trial
this week will be all that can be tried
without another venire of jurymen it
will be just as cheap for the county to
hold the next adjourned term some
time next spring and it will probably
be done. The judges are anxious to
keep at the Mile Laos calendar until
it is cleared.

By the Albert which arrived
a few days ago we received 12S
Quincy Cleanable Refrigerators,
ranging in size from the small
household ice box to that used
in a grocery store. 1t was a
large invoice-not consigned,
but bought outright. These re-
frigerators and ice boxes have
nine points of excellence, to wit:
Cleanliness, free circulation;
economy in the use of ice; con-
densation and dry air; low aver
age temperature; freedom from
condensation on the inner walls;
freedom from damage by the
use of ice picks; proper location
of drip pipe and long life. These
points are found only in the
Quincy cleanable.
Now for the reason for the
large purchase. There are 1913
persons in Honolulu who need
refrigerators, many Of them
have old ones. We propose leas-
ing these refrigerators on the
following term: The selling
prices of the article is divided
by six: when the refrigerator is
delivered one-siXth of the price
is paid in cash and monthly
thereafter in equal payments
until the entire amount is paid.
If before the expiration of the
six months, the lessee wishes to
pay off the balance he will be
entitled to discount of five
percent on the amount unpaid.
If a customer wants to buy out
right for cash, he gets five per.
cent discount on the entire
amount.
The Quincy cleanable can be
had only of us.
