scribers Added to the Unions
List Since April Ist Last. -
By January Ist, 1904, the Union List
of Subscribers Will Exceed
1000 Without Exchanges.

The people of Princeton, Mile Laos
county and the adjoining counties of
Sherburne and Isanti appreciate live,
progressive, up-to.date newspaper
New names are being added to the
UNIONS subscription list daily. Since
the first Of April this year 237 names
have been added to our subscription
list and every one Of them is cash-in-
advance subscriber. Before Jan. lst
1904, the UNION will have passed the
1000 mark. The UNION carries no
dead-heads. The low subscription
price of S1.00 per year, less than two
cents per week, places the paper with
in the reach of all. In Princeton alone
the UNION has a list of 1853 subscribers,
In other words 1853 UNIONS are distrib-
uted to local subscribers weekly
through the Princeton postoffice.
Newspapers without one-third of the
UNIONS circulation charge more for
advertising space than the UNION does.
The UNIONS advertising rates are
reasonable and advertisers get full
value for their money.
The employees of the UNION are paid
their wages in cash every week and
the monthly pay roll Of the UNION for
the past year has averaged 1855 per
month.
The UNION believes in the principles
Of the Republican party, but it has
ever been the policy of it's publisher to
treat the candidates and measures of
all parties fairly.
For more than twenty-seven years
the UNION has labored INCREASINGLY to
promote the interest of Princeton,
Mile Laos county and the Rum River
valley. The publisher Of the UNION
has contributed of his own personal
means as much as any other individuals
to the upbuilding Of Princeton and
Mile Laos county, and has been per-
sonally identified and financially inter-
ested in almost every public and semi,
public enterprise undertaken in Prince
ton during the past twenty-five years..
Had it not been for the generous sup
port accorded the UNION of course we
would not have been able to do this.
Our motto has ever been: "Stand by
your home people and home interests
at all times and under all circumstan-
ces."
The publisher of the UNION appreci-
ates the more than generous sympathy
and substantial support he has re-
ceived from the people of Mile Laos
and adjoining counties in the years
that have flown, and it will be his aim
to merit a continuance of the same in
the future.

THE floods in Kansas, Nebraska, NJ

The floods in Kansas, Nebraska, Mis-
souri, and Iowa, and other parts of the
country are the worst in the history of
the country. The destruction to prop
erty and the loss of life at Kansas City,
Topeka, and other points where the
floods we're the worst, is appalling.
The loss of life has probably been ex-
aggerated, but it will be bad enough as
it is. The property loss in and about
Topeka will amount to over $4,000, 900
while at Kansas City and vicinity it
will foot up over s75, 100000. The num-
Der of dead is estimated at 800, and the
homeless at over $4,000. The war de-
partment has been obliged to render
assistance to the sufferers. -

F amous Land Case
Gets Final Ouietus

The famous David L. Brown case
has probably made its last appearance
before the Oklahoma public Cover
nor Ferguson today received a letter
from John Hay, secretary of state, in
which Mr. Hay said he had been ad-
vised by the secretary of the interior
on Sep 22 last, chat a land patent
had been issued to Mr. Brown upon
the filing by him of the necessary
proofs, together with a certificate Of
his naturalization. His patent is still
outstanding and his naturalization de-
prlvei him of the right to call upon
the British government, or its officers,
to intervene in mis- behalf"
This case has attracted consider
able attention in recent years because
of the demands Of Brown that the
United States reimburse him for the
loss he incurred at the time his house
was burned and his family and himself
driven from his homestead in King
fisher county in 1895 by a mob that in
sisted upon Brown ahsentlng himself
and family from that part Of Oklaho-
ma He has appealed to the British
government a number Of times. the ap-
peal being referred back to the de-
partments at Washington.
The finding by the secretary Of the
interior that naturalization papers had
been issued him before he was driven
from his home. and that land patent
has been issued him, will settle what
promised to be at one time important
litigation

Some of the richest mines in the republic of Mexico are in this district and the road became. with the increasing development of the properties, absolutely necessary. as the only means of transportion was by pack animals and at very great expense, digging into the pro- fits resulting from the sale of the ore.
 Mexican Herald: A concession has been granted to Sehor Amalio Ocampo to utilize for motive power 5000 liters of water per second from the San Pedro river, in the county of Monte-Cristo, state of Tabasco, at the fall known as Ran dal. The surveys and the project of the hydraulic works must be commenced within six months from the publication of the con- cession, October 20; the plans, etc. must be presented to the Fomento department within twelve months; construction must begin within "A months, and the whole of the works must be finished and in operation within seven years. The u.ual stipulations in water conces- sions are made, and are guaranteed by the deposit of the sum of 5000 in the three per cent bonds of the consolidated silver debts.

 Torreon Enterprise: The stock of the Compafia Jabonera de La guna has paid S30 dividends per share so far this year. There are 25,000 shares in the company, of a value of $l00 each, and the selling price is $500. This company is located at Gomez Palacio, a few miles from Torreon. and is known to be one of the most substantial and best paying institutions in this part of Mexico.
 l.. A. Times: w. Derby Johnson, bishop of the Mormon colony in Chihuahua, arrived in the City of Mexico last Monday to look into matters relating to the establish ment of new colonies in Topic and Sinaloa. Including the colonies in Sonora, the Mormons now have in the country about 5000 colonists, and, as in Utah, they are succeed ing in making the Mexican deserts to blossom as the rose.
 L. A. Times: Mexican coffee stands first in the New York mar kets, as to quality and price, while the Brazilian berry stands first as to quantity. At the end of Sept ember last, the stock of Mexican coffee in New York was only 3200 sacks, consisting of Cordoba, Coate- pee, and Oaxaca, held at prices varying from eight to twelve cents, gold, per pound. Brazilian coffee at the same time was quoted at ' to { cents pound.
 Mexican Herald: The proposi- tion to build line from Browns vile to Tampico, along the coast, has now taken definite shape. The plan, as reported to parties in Mexico, is to build from Corpus Christi to Brownsville, thence from Brownsville to Tampico, there to make connection with the Mexican Central, and so have d direct line to the City of Mexico when the Honey line is finished by the Cen tral. This route, say the projec- tors, gives a line 300 miles shorter than any other line between the United States and the City of Mexico, and will suit the Central Railway very well.
 Torreon Enterprise; The Santo Domingo mine, located about eight miles south of Etzatlan, in the state of Jalisco, andwhich is owned and operated by the Amparo Min ing company, is making some large shipments of high grade ore to the Torreon smelter. A recent shipment of seven twenty-seven ton car loads of ore netted the com pany s8S.30 per ton, or little over $2,3S4 per car load. The ore runs about 2 2,446 kilos of silver and 22.9 grammes of gold to the ton. The company has at present 300 men employed and PIP animals are at work transporting the ore from the mines to the railroad.

The city received not a cent for all
the streets given away. The promoter
obtained his franchise from the Mu-
nicipal Assembly, and also got five
years in the p%snltentiary from a jury

on the floor of the House of Delegates

railroad and the other by the agent of

Schedules Of bride prices were estab-

dollars for a switch bill to thousands
of dollars for a franchise. They tried
to sell or give away the water works,
the court house and the union market
for their own enrichment. Nothing
was safe from their avarice, not even
the sewer pipes in the ground. Now,
these men were not a band of robbers
who captured the city by force, but
they were elected by the people to be
the makers of laws for them. Most
of them were Republicans, and the
majority of those who gave them the
brides were Democrats, but that is of
no consequence now-they were all
public plunderers. On one occasion
a member of the combine was in
the meeting when they passed around
$500 each brlbe money, The new
member asked If they were not afraid
they would get in trouble. They all
heartily and reminded him of
their political power; how each OF the
nineteen controlled his own ward, and
