For the purpose of recalling these
scenes. and of making the present
generation understand the way the peo-

feelings of patriotism. a few extracts
are taken from the Weekly kennepec

Why They Advertise.


There are advertisers and advertis-
ers. Some may advertise as a matter
of charity-to help the editor get his
bread. Others advertise to make the
paper show up we'll for the town; that's
a good motive. Some advertise be-
cause the paper is a home enterprise,
a benefit to the town. Then there's
the wide awake, hustling business man
who is out after the dollars and gener-
ally gets them. He advertises because
it pays him; he makes it a part of his
business; be takes a certain space in
his home paper, fills it up with some
thing that will catch trade. If times
are dull he gives more attention to ad-
vertlsing. He gets up something new
surprising, always however, combining
himself strictly to the truth, and never
misleading his customers. The people
read that mans advertisements as~well
as the. local columns Of. the paper.
They have confidence in what he says;
they go to the store to trade, and, by
courteous treatment, he holds their
trade. Advertising in any OF the
above ways is commendable in mer-
chant, but it is a necessary branch of
his business in some way, and if
neglected can only result in loss

organization somewhat after the pat

commanded by Gen. Ballington Booth
who seeded from the original army d
short time ago, but their methods of

longer. Fully so conversions have
been made since work was begun in

For Princeton Now.

I. and ND Work Will Be Begun as
Soon as Season Permits. :

r. Inc much-wished for telephone con-
nectlon will be made this spring At
least the people of Princeton have
every reason to expect it from what
has been given out by J. A. Colehour,
the right Of way agent of the North
western Telephone Exchange company.
He has been in the village several days
looking up the matter and found that
there was an excellent field for such an
undertaking. The company may ex-
pect to do a profitable business from
the very day of the connection, for
there is no town in Minnesota, of it's
size, that has a larger telegraph bust
ness than Princeton. The system
which will be put in will be what is
known as the long distance" tele-
phone, enabling the patrons to con-
verse with parties as distant as Chi
cago, New York or St. Louis.
Mr.. Colehour said that he thought
it possible that two pay stations would
be put in, one at the depot to accommo-
date the potato shippers and one down
town to accommodate the merchants.
: The line will be put in as far as
Princeton this year and then extended
beyond next year. It will be great

Are They Pigcers?

F,g- & -
Great credit should be given tc the
village board of review for it's acute
ness in unmasking fraud which has
long been perpetrated on our COM
munity in the matter of evading taxa
ton.
Under the mask of extreme respect
ability, one of our most wealthy and
heightened citizens and the wife of
another prominent business man have
for some time past been the owners of
certain saloon fixtures and properties
which have been SO concealed from the
view of the public and the assessor that
no one suspected their existence, still
less who the owners were. But now
through the shrewdness of the village
board these blind pigs have been
brought to light and the owners re-
vealed and taxes levied on the same.
which these same immaculate citizens
are now called on to pay. We take it
that the board will now see to it that
these prominent citizens will hereafter
pay the customary license or shut uI
shop. For proof of the above state.
ment we refer to the current tax files
in the auditors Office, and to Judge

Changes of Business.

The season of changes appears to
have opened in. Princeton in earnest.
The UNION has already noted the in
corporation of the Princeton Brick
company, the dissolu tion of the firm of
Chapman & Kaliher and the formation
of the Anderson & Chapman copart-
nership. This week it announces two
additional changes: The purchase of
half interest in Jesmer's department
store by Bert Jesmer and the dissolu-
ton of the firm of Evens & Herdliska.
II. B. Jesmer, the new member of
the firm, is a native of Princeton and,
although young man, has had a good
business training and will undoubtedly
succeed. N. E. Jesmer is one of our
pioneer merchants, and the people of
Princeton know of what stuff he is
made, having watched his business
grow from small beginning to its
present size.
Frank Lucas, who has been associ-
ated with A. H. Stoves in the meat
business, has withdrawn and his place
will be taken by Mr.. Schwartz, a Min
neapolis butcher.
The firm of Evens & Herdliska is
succeeded by the Princeton Hardware
company, a corporation. The fist
stockholders are G. A.. Eaton, S. s.
Peterson and E. K. Evens. The arti-
cles are published in another column.
