The Rest and Reading Room.

The rest and reading room was
thrown open to the public last Satur-
day, and is in charge of Mrs. Abbie
Pratt. =. The opening exercises that
were announced last week for Saturday
night were postponed until Monday
night, and were held at the Odd Eel
lows hall. The program consisted of
vocal and instrumental music, and re-
marks by Mayor Armitage, Prof
Whites and c. A. Dickey. About
thirty were present and the rest and
reading room was dedicated in very
appropriate manner. The reading
room was opened for the first time last
Monday night and will be kept open
every evening from I to 10 O'Clock.
The room has been fitted up in most
cheerful and homelike manner for the
use of farmers wives who will find all
the comforts of home, and it is to be
hoped that they will feel perfectly free
to make use of the room at all times
when in the city. The room is in the
rear of the Eaton bank. Those who
have been instrumental in securing
and equipping the room are deserving
of much credit and praise and the mer-
chants, realizing the value of the room
to their patrons, have subscribed in a
liberal manner for it's support.

The Holiday Number of the Union Sur
prised Many Who Did Not Recognize
an Old Friend. .-- ~ =. =,
The holiday number Of the UNION
met with hearty and fattering re-
ception. 1t was put in the postoffice
Thursday evening in time for local dis
tribution and most of the city subscrib-
ers got their copies the same evening.
Evidently there were some who did not
expect to see the UNION dressed up in
such gay holiday attire for they did not
recognize the paper when they had it
in their hands. There were several
cases where old subscribers received
the paper and passed it up as stranger.
One old time subscriber who has taken
the paper ever since it was started got
his mail from the Office. and with the
holiday number in his hands he re-
marked that it was strange he did not
get his copy of the UNION. Another
old subscriber actually went to the
office the next day and got his mail,
and not recognizing the UNION came
down to the Office to find out why he
had not received his copy. AS he came
in the office he had the holiday number
in his hands, and was informed that he
had his local paper with him at that
time. After he was introduced to his
old friend he set up the cigars. An
other case of passing by an old friend
was; that of business man in Prince
ton. A relative stopping at the house
brought the mail to his office. He took
the UNION and placed it on the table,
and after looking over the rest of his
mail he remarked to his relative that
she might take that sample copy of
the Ladies' Home Journal" along with
her when she went home.
This was the best compliment of all.
Everybody was delighted with the num-
Der, and the UNION has been in great
demand as a holiday greeting to dis
tant friends. There is good supply of
extra copies on hand and all who de-
sire to send a few away can have their
orders filed by calling at this office.
The papers are sold at ten cents copy.

old COUNTY BALANCE,
.connty Treasurer BurreII Gets an Old
County Balance from First Ma
~ tional Bank, st. Paul.
50. S. Bank Examiner Discovers
#S5S5.o5 to the Credit Of Mile
q Laos County.

Astoout ten days ago County Treasurer.
Burrell received a letter from Lyman
C.sBaird, United States NATIONAL bank
examiner at Austin, Mimi, stating
that the books of the First National
bank Of St. Paul showed ian old and
unclaimed balance" of S5S5.O5 to the
credit of Mile Laos county. :. The bank
examiner said he merely volunteered
the information for what it was worth.
Onreceipt Of this startling announce
ment the county treasurer was very
much surprised and thought at first
blush that he was picked out as the
victim of some film fam game,, but he
learned that the informant was a bona
fideSemploye of the federal government.
Mr.. Burrell at once made draft
against the bank for the amount and
thesdraft was Immediately honored and
a check was received for the amount.
The bank officials were no doubt glad
to learn that Mile Laos county was
still doing business at the same old
stand and presumed that the county
treasurer would consider the old bal
ance a nice Christmas present for the
taxpayers of the county.
II istnot known just how long this
amount has been in the St. Paul bank,
butthe balance has been there for pro-
baby twenty years or more as near as
canbefgured. Many years ago before
| r. M.*Neely was county treasurer the
First National bank was used as a de-
pository for county funds, and the bal
anee was probably overlooked during
thestime Of County Treasurer Staples
who was a defaulter, or it may have es-
capped the notice of the county's watch
full seye at the time when Martin ".
3. Cater died in Office. Years ago the
county funds were in very mixed up
and bad way for a time and there was

county accounts that there is at present

fall and asked what disposition to make
of the money. Mr.. Burrell was ad-
fvised to place it with the taxes and
penalties fund, but it is thought that
the proper place to put it would be in
the general revenue fund. The county
treasurer has written the bank for a
| history of the unclaimed balance" if
possible and may get some light on how
it came to be left there these many
years. : Anyone would naturally sup
pose that the bank would have notified
the county of the balance to it's credit,
but probably the bank thought that if
the. county could't keep track of it's
money it might just as well remain in

A CHARTER MEETING.'
Business Men Meet and Discuss the Pro.
posed Charter.

The meeting of business men and tax
payers which was held at the village
hall last Friday night to consider the
matter of incorporating as city, was
attended by about twenty-five. The
meeting was purely an informal one,
and was a sort of heart to heart talk.
Many of the business men expressed
their opinions regarding the change
from village to a city government
and the concensus of opinion seemed to
be against recognizing under the act
as designated by the village council in
the ordinance it adopted some time
since and which was published in the
UNION. ~-.- ~'-
The one great obstacle, and what by
many was considered a very serious one
at the present time, was the cutting off
of about one-half of the taxable valua-
tion of the present school district. The
valuation of the district at the. present
time amounts to over half million
dollars, and of this amount about one
half lies outside the village limits of
Princeton, being located in the unor-
ganized towns and in a portion of ter
ritory between Princeton and Brickton.
To surrender this school revenue at the
present time would be in the estima-
tion of many of the citizens and bust
ness men of Princeton very unwise
thing to do. "a.
Another objection to the adoption of
the new charter was the fact that UNI
der it the powers and authority of the
city government would be too great for
a place the size of Princeton.
Not a person was present to defend
the action of the village council nor to
speak in favor of the new charter, but
in justice to the present. council it must
be said that they were urged by some
OF the business men to go ahead and
take the necessary steps toward organ
izing as city. 1t was not until after.
