The Boys Were Handling a Revolver

The Old Old Story, Which Has Often
Been Told, But Will Never be
Learned by Boys.

Walter Armstrong was shot and in
stantly killed by his cousin, NANNY
Colburn, last Friday evening. The
boys were at Colburn's home making
arrangements for a hunting trip the
next day and had just finished loading
supply of shells. Colburn then pro-
cured a revolver and while examining
1t 1t was accidentally discharged, the
ball striking young Armstrong in the
left temple. The missile passed en-
tlrely through his head and Armstrong
fell at his cousins feet corpse. Col
burn had looked at the chambers and
thought :he weapon was not loaded.
but there was one cartridge left and
the result is stated above Colburn is
loyears old and is son of Gardner Col
burn, who resides near Green lake.
Walter Armstrong was IA years of
age' and son of Mrs. Lucy Burton.
The funeral was held Sunday. the in

WHY WE FAVOR BONDS.

The Publisher Has No Axe to Grind as
Has Been Charged. II" r.:
The short-sighted individuals who
are opposed to the improvement of the
roads of the county are not at all back
ward in accusing the publisher of the
UNION of favoring the issue of bonds
for the improvement of the roads be-
cause he has a political ak to grind.''
Some of these individuals were never
known to favor anything unless there
was money in it for themselves, and
they always want the farmers to turn
the grindstone. We say to those in
dlVlduals that we favor the issue of
bonds y because we believe it to be
just and right and for the best inter-
ests OF the entire county. The puerile
lnsinuation that we are influenced bv
political motives is too contemplate to
notice. Such reasoning is asinine in
the superlative degree. The writer is
not candidate for any political Office
this year, and if he were it's hardly
probable that a few hundred votes in
Mile NJ Lacs county would cut much Of a
figure in 9 total Of 100000. We would
favor the good roads proposition If we
knew every man, woman and child in
Princeton Fri opposed it. Why? Because
we believe tits for the best interests
OF the entire county that the roads
should be improved. How would the

for the year 1899 was 1888, 773. This
year the valuation will be increased to

nosa large influx of new settlers and
theesresources of the county are not de-
veioped the valuation will decrease
instead OF increase. The north end of
the county is being fast denuded of
ITS pine, and when the pine is gone the

movedsto some other location, and that
means ne ms a great deal less property to

sources we must provide them with

5000 s1Troads to get to market. The
markets 1tt we already have, hut the
roads--ln the south end of the county

daries of the county at once is impos-
slble, but it is possible to have at least
one good highway running north and
south the entire length of the county.
and such road would certainly con-
tribute largely to the settlement and
Development of the whole county.
Hence the UNION favors the PROPOSE
tlon for tissue of bonds'' to be voted
upon next Tuesday. = =: .-:>
Il the: bonds are voted they can run
fori twenty years and will bear three
pei cent. interest Under the law
Efchapter 297, laws Of 1885 bonds. can
be issued to the amount of two per per
cent. OF the taxable property valuation
OF the county as shown by the last pre-
cedlng tax list, and the bonds must be
made payable in such sums and at
such times as NOT TO REQUIRE MORE
THAN A TAX LEVY OF ONE MILL UPON
THE DOLLAR of taxable property in
any one year, to meet the payment of
principal and interest when the same
comes due. A tax of one mill would
not be very heavy burden, and one
mill is all the law permits to be levied.
We have quoted the exact language of
the statute, A levy of one mill each
year will meet the interest and pro.
vide sinking fund for the payment of
the principal.
AS was said in last weeks issue of
the UNION the north end of the county
has been taxed for years for the bene-
tit OF the south end of the county, and
certainly the voters of the southern.
towns can afford to be just if not gen.
erous to their northern neighbors in
this matter, more especially when
the people of the south, end of the
county will share equally in the bene-
tits that will be conferred. We appeal
to the voters of Princeton village to
take broad and liberal view of this
matter, to be fair, to be manly, TO BE
JUST, and place an X mark opposite
the words tissue of bonds-Yes.

Inc Section of Law Governing the Tax
Levy for Road Bonds.
Some of the opponents of bonding
the county for improvement of the
roads are making wild statements as tc
the tax levy that will be necessary to
meet the principal and interest on the
oonds II they are voted. There cannot
De levied more than ONE MILL in each
year to meet the principal and inter-
est. One mill on valuation of $500
means tax of so cents. on valuation
of 81 900 it means a tax of one dollar.
on valua ton Of $4,000 it means a tax
OF $500. How many merchants in
Prlnceton are paying taxes on valu-~
alton OF $4,000 We are not attempt
ing to deceive or mislead anyone, and
IN order to remove all doubt we quote
section 3, chapter 297, laws of 1895.
Section 8. Bonds shall MOI he issned
by the authority of this act, which in
the aggregate shall exceed two ~ per
cent. OF the taxable property valuation
OF the county as shown by the last pre-
cedlng tax list, and such bonds shall
not bear interest at rate higher than
live (5) per cent. per annum, nor shall
bonds be made payable in such sums
and at such times, as to require a tax
levy OF more than one u mill upon the
dollar OF taxable property in any one
year, to meet the payment of principal
and interest when the same comes due.
Page Morris owes a debt of graft
tude to Mr.. L. S. Briggs, the member
OF his committee for this county, not
only Tor services rendered in the pres
ent campaign but in the campaigns of
1886 and 1898 as we'll. Mr. Briggs has
been untiring in his efforts to promote
Mr.. Morris interests. In this connec-
tion it must be source of great salts
faction to Mr.. Briggs that, notwith-
standing his activity and zeal in behalf
of the Republican party, for the second
time there is no opposition to his can
didacy for the important Office of clerk
OF the district court. Mr.. Briggs is an
efficient and accommodating official
and is held in such high esteem by
men of all parties that it would be USE
less for anyone to oppose him.
We are aware of the fact that it is
4 great deal easier to persuade people
to vote against the bond proposition
than to vote in favor of it. When YOU
appeal to man S pocket-book you touch
him in his tenderest part. But, in
al candor, we ask the fair-minded
people of Princeton, is not the north
End of the county entitled to a
title consideration, are not the
settlers between Milaca and Princeton
to a little consideration? Let
is be fair in this matter, let US do as
We would be done by. A one mill tax y
will not impose a grievous burden on i.
my taxpayer, and one mill is all that
IAN be levied in any year-it is the
init fixed by law. .., -. ~

CITY CONVENTION Of 1900.
MEETS ON THE WEST SIDE MONDAY
EVENING.
The First Political Gathering IN the United
Cities is Non-partsan-A Lot of Good
Men Nominated for the First Officers of
the City.

Monday evening, pursuant 20 pub
liShed call, the delegates to the
citizens convention Of the combined
cities met at the Business Mems room
on the West Side.
Prior to the formation Of a perman-
ent organization, the meeting was in
the smaller room of the hall with the
doors closed on the few anxious
spectators who had assembled to
witness he distribution of the first
political plumS of the new city. There
seems to have been no particular
reason for this eXclusiyeness other
than to facilitate the preliminary
work of tie convention and prevent
the numerous body of delegates from
being joStled and crowded too much
while they were getting acquainted
With each other and sizing up their
new surroundings. However, when
Judge GaynOr as permanent chairman
took his seat he suggested probably
with a view Of avoiding even an
appearance Of evil that the doors be
opened and the serious business of the
convention commenced. This satisfied
the crowd to T., who had come
determined to be pleased with almost
ahy ling that might occur, but whose
chinS had fallen perceptibly when
they found their visions of the inner
sanctuary ObScured, SO to Speak.
Save the fact of some witleSS joker
turning off the lights when the con-
ventiOn was half over, no other
noteworthy event was observed to
mar the harmony or stir the rlSibility
OF this honeymoon gathering in the
united cities. The following proceed
ingS took place:
Moved and carried that a permanent
city committee be elected. The
election resulted as follows:
David kammerOn, First Ward;
Geo. Minnehan, Second ward; Geo. w.
Davis, Third ward; 7. A. Taylor,

Frank Kern. Sixth ward: l.. M. Nash,
Seventh ward: F. p. DAILY, Eighth
ward. W. e. Wheelan, permanent
chairman; A. n. Palmer, permanent
secretary.
Moved and carried to proceed TO

yention for mayor, the nomination
being made by acclamatiOn.

More Good Words on The MARRIAGE

The opposite cities of Grand Rapids
and Centralia have united their 5000
people under the name of Grand
Rapids and the JOY over the municipal
alliance found expression in much
ringing of bells and in fireworks. The
city is in the southern end of Wood
county, quite remote from MarShtield
on the northern borderand the rivalry
has so dissipated county pride as to
have made the question of county
division a spirited issue for a legisla-
ture to consider. 1t was refused.
however.-MadisOn Journal.
Last Tuesday, by a vote of the
people, the cities of Grand Rapids and
Centralia were consolidated. and the
new municipality contains 5000
inhabitants. The number of votes
against consolidation was very small.
There was a great jubilee on Tuesday
evening when the result was known:
every whistle and bell in the two cities
were blown and rung. and a wealth of
fire works set off. This will mark the
era of good feeling and great advance
ment in the newly constructed CITY of
Grand Rapids.-Wausau Pilot.

An Error Corrected.

Misled by the name, and by the fact
that it is Southern play, an impress
sion prevails that "A Romance Of Coon
Hollow" is a negro show. This is a
great mistake, as the entire cast is
com posed of we'll known white artists
of standing, and the colored buck
dancers and jubilee singers are simply
introduced in their plantation scenes
to illustrate negro life in the South,
but have no relation to the story of the
drama. The latter is pretty Southern
love story, natural and pastoral in its
treatment, and what the New York
Herald styled "a Southern Old Home
stead"
Splendid scenic environments, novel
electrical effects, laughable incidents,
and specialtieS appropriate to the
comedy, embelliSh as sincere heart
story as is tobe seen on the stage
today. - -
r "a Romance Of Coon Hollow" with
the same scenery, effects and company
used in the original production in New
York, will be given at the Grand
Opera House, Friday, March 80.

GOOD WORD FOR MINOR.
His Work Highly Commended BY Speaker
Henderson,

IleIueISUti,
The Sentinel Bureau. 142l F. Street.
\. W., Washington, D. c., March 25.-
Information concerning the contest
that is being waged in the Eighth
Wisconsin congressional district
against the return of Edward S. Minor
has reached here and created consider
able interest among the members of
the delegation and Wisconsin people
here generally. Whatever may be the
contention of the people in the district
who are asking for change in the
representation from the district there
is no doubt of the popularity and
Stength of Mr.. Minor among the men,
berS of the house and among the
colleagues from the state. Speaker
Henderson himself is taking an active
interest in the cause of Minors return
to the house, and has done what it is
rare to find the speaker of the house
OF representatives willing to do, speak
a good word for member who is
meeting with opposition in his home
district. In this case, however,
Speaker Henderson takes occasion to
speak good word for Representative
Minor, and he speaks it in the frank,
vigorous manner that is character
istic of the Iowa man. Speaker Hen
derSOn said:
II regard Capt. Minor as one of the
most energetic, faithful and useful
members of the house, and | do not
object to your saying so as coming
from me. Mr.. Minor is painstaking
member and he is especially energetic
in his care for the interests of the
Northwest in legislation pending be-
fore the committees of which he is
member. | appointed him to place
on the Merchant Marine committee
and in that position he has been dill
gent in the discharge of his duties,
and he has contributed in a material
way to the improvement of shipping
legislation pending before the
committee, and his labOrS in that
direction have been of excellent and
important service to the country. He
is a friend of labor and it's interests
and in respect to legislation for the
Great Lakes region he is a most
valuable member of the house. He is
not only qualified to attend to the
duties of his place, but he is always in
his place and does not sneak away
when important legislation is pending
demanding the attendance of the
majority members in order that legis-
lation may have the careful consider
alton which it deserves. [ cannot
speak too strongly my convictions of
the merits of Mr.. Minor as member
Of the house."

eyes. While chopping down a tree,
two weeks ago, piece of chip or bark

possible to save the sight. Not being
