Always to the Front.

The announcement recently made by
the Minneapolis Times that it had Sc
cured for exclusive use in the north
west, the New York Herald's special
and unrivalled cable news service lat a
price which would stagger less en-
terprising newspaper), is but another
proof that it is at all times the leader
of the northwestern dailies and is de-
termined to furnish to its readers the
very best reliable news obtainable, and
to publish it first at whatever the cost.
r. This new cable and domestic service,
together with the Associated Press
service and the Times own corps OF
special correspondents, places that
enterprising newspaper easily in first
place among the Twin City dailies.
| The Times readers can now be as
sured of just as complete and reliable
service as if they lived in New Yorl
or London. We congratulate the
Times on it's enterprise. r.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE.

A Happy Time for the Little Folks satur-
day Night.
There was a happy crowd atJesmer's
opera house last Saturday night when
the people of Princeton gathered to
enjoy the annual festival which this
season always brings. The pupils Of
the public school appeared in the
beautiful little cantata, "Snow White" :"
and gave an entertainment which was
pleasing to every one present. Many
Of the pupils displayed talent which
would have been considered creditable
by adults and the little ones took their
parts so utterly unconscious OF the
large audience as to make them favor
ties before the footlights. The teach
ers, too, deserve great credit for the
manner in which the entertainment
Ewas handled and the UNION hopes. each

succeeding Christmas will witness
these non-sectarian gatherings. I
4 After the little folks had finished
their part Of the program mill Of an
eighteenth, century pattern was
erected on the stage and while the
wings of the old-fashioned windmill
whirled in the Christmas breeze the
dusty miller ground out grist Of
presents for@the expectant children Z
The whole affair was a success and
reflected credit on all concerned. = Let
us have more of these gatherings
where all the residents of this little
village meet on common footing.
There is nothing which can bring
about such results and promote neigh
borly interest in each others welfare.

The infant daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Arnhold was badly scalded last week
but will probably recover. Mrs. Arm
hold had just poured out a. painful OF
hot dishwater when she was called to
another part OF the room for mo-
ment, leaving the baby sitting in her
carriage near the table. The little
one managed in some way to reach the
pan and tipped it into her lap. Her
abdomen and limbs were badly burned
and though her injuries are very pain
full she is apparently recovering and
aside from several bad scars will soon
be all right.

The merchants of Princeton had an
excellent object lesson in profitable |
advertising last week when N. E.
Jesmer e. Son announced their gift |
sale for Friday and Saturday. The
first intimation that the public bad of
it was when the UNION came out
Thursday noon, but the result of the
publicity was plainly apparent soon
after the store was opened for business
the next morning. All day long there
was a steady stream of buyers passing
through the aisles of the store and the
rush continued the next day. OF course
the UNION does not claim that all of
this rush was occasioned by the ad it
published, but it has the satisfaction
of knowing that it was instrumental in
bringing large number of visitors to
that store who would not have attended
the sale otherwise. The ad was the
idea of Mr.. II. b. Jesmer and the
UNION was one of the instruments he
chose to use. Those of US who are
observant and have watched methods
of the different merchants in this viii
lage have seen the Jesmers steadily
increasing the volume of their busi-
ness from year to year. They have
advertised liberally in the UNION each
week and supplemented this with
liberal dealings. For. more than four
years no issue of this paper has ap-
peared with less than column to call
attention to the store and quite fire.
]quently it requires page to hold their
! announcement. If the Messrs. esmer

(which by the way runs into the hun.
dreds every year) was not profitably

General Superintendent @. II. Plat said to-
day that the lack OF water was really

makeshiits had to be used to get along.
Many OF the engines had to go on half or three

supply were forced TO divide II with lesa for
tunate neighbors. In this way the system was
kept working.
