Council Meeting.

The regular meeting of the village
council was held last Monday night.
But little business was done, other
than the matter of making arrange.
ments to take up and cancel all out
standing village orders by issuing two
blanket orders due in one and two
years in amounts sufficient to cancel
all unpaid orders. The new law COM
polling the payment of orders in nu-
merical order makes it impossible to
meet current expenses by issuing over
draft orders, and the council will at it's
next meeting Friday night of this
week issue the blanket orders.
The matter of filing in the site of
the old bridge east of town and putting
in culvert will be taken up, and gen
eral street work under the supervision
of Street Commissioner Soule will be
considered.
There are several extensions of the
water mains desired by property own
ers which will probably be made this
season.

The dramatic entertainment given at

the home-talenU company from Arloka
was a real treat and the people of
Princeton have nothing but congratu-
lations for the young people who have
made such success of the production
Of THE Liars. - The house was crowded,
and when Aft Molander and Miss Edna
Craig appeared in the curtain raiser,
entitled ''Drifted Apart" they easily
got ''neNt' to the very appreciative
audience. The scene was clever pre-
Sentation Of an estrangement between
a husband and wife. There was the
gay. dashing independent spirit when
love is blasted by the many social func-
tions full Of snares and temptations.
The scene reached climax of hate
bordering on separation, only to change
to loving reconciliation Mr.. Nolan
der and Miss Craig enacted the scene
like true artists.
THE Liars" was three-act farce in
which married man gets into an awful
predicament by writing note to his
wife to Just let her know that he knew
she went to vaudeville show instead
of attending concert. Those in the
cast were the Misses Isabella Howatt,
Etha Bland, Florence Allen, and Messrs.
Roe G.. Chase, ALI Molander, Walter
Murfin and Harry Clarey. All did ex-
ceptionally we'll for amateurs, and are
deserving of great deal of credit.
The Nachbar orchestra furnished the
music during the evening. After the
play there was a social dance which
was attended by about forty couple and
Nachbar's orchestra played for the
merry dancers. The total receipts for
the entertainment amounted to SlO9.25.
Out of this was deducted the hall rent
amounting to $40, hotel expenses, $3.50,
including supper after the entertain
ment, printing 81, and car fare, livery,
etc., amounting to $3.50, the whole
amounting to S46. 10, leaving balance
