block, says Charlie Riggs, the we'll
known business manager. His at
traction will be here Tuesday evening,
May 22nd, and if advance reports are

prove to be the best attraction that
has visited Princeton this year.
Among the members of the company
are a number of the people seen here
two seasons ago with the popular
Ed Andrews company. Chief among
them is Ralph Riggs: one of the most
artistic dancing and singing comedi-
ans in America. He is known from
New York to Frisco and has been
featured in ''Florodora, " ''The Belle
of New York." The Telephone
Girl" and other big musical sue
cesses. In the ':Red Domino, he has
ample opportunity to display his ex-
ceptionally clever dancing and sing
ing and will be seen at his best as
high class comedian.
The Red Domino" is full of catchy
songs, dainty dances, up-to-date
comedy and pretty costumes worn by
prettier girls. Prices are Is, IS and
so cents. Seats on sale Saturday.

Child Labor Must Ston.

Stringent prohibitions against child
labor have been discovered in the new
code and now no child under Il years
of age can be employed in a factory
or workshop at any time and no child
under 16 shall be employed at any
time in any place or any occupation
dangerous to life, health or morals.
Under the old laws the same provis-
ions were included but they we're
nullified by the section permitting
such employments if permits were first
obtained from the board of education.
No board of education will now be
permitted to issue permit which will
tend to nullify these provisions.
Steps will be taken to see that the
provisions are carried out, and it is
expected that there will be material
decrease in child labor within very
short time.

easier than I could" Riley admitted
to the court that he alone was respon-
sible and that the Jew was innocent.
Abras stated that he left Minneapo-
lis on Monday night at 1875 and that
he was on the road two nights before
arriving in Nickerson. Upon hearing
this remark Riley turned around, and,
with a broad smile, said ~ guess the
sheeny must have come from ST..
Peter.'
Justice Chadbourne then remanded
the prisoners to the village lookup,
and upon the following morning
Saturday additional evidence, in
the form of afidavits, was presented
to his honor by three citizens setting
forth that each Of them had seen
Abras in Princeton upon the preceding
Saturday, the date upon which the
burglary is supposed to have been
committed.
The prisoners were held over to the
next term of the district court and
were taken to the Hennepin county
jail by Sheriff Shockley on Saturday.
The sheriff tells us that upon a care
full examination Of the Evens yard
near the window which was broken
open he discovered footprints which
leads him to believe that only one
man entered the store. He says that
imprints of two persons shoes were
discernible, but that only one track
was near the window. The other was
some distance away and suggested
that a watcher had been stationed
there accomplice. He measured
these footprints and took particular
notice of the formation of the heel
marks. On one pair of shoes the heel
impression was heavier on the outside
and on the other the inside. Upon
comparing the measurements with the
shoes of the prisoners he found that
they correspondent.
While questioning Riley the sheriff
says that the prisoner remarked: IT
didn't care a d. for the revolvers
and stuff, twas the safe combination
[ wanted to master.''
The capture of these burglars is a
most important one and largely to
Sheriff Shockley's promptness must
be accredited their round up. There
is every reason to believe that they
are dyed-in-the-wool criminals, and it
is expected that between now and the
next term of court their full records
will be secured.

FIRE DESTROYS RESIDENCE.

sumed Sunday Night.
At about $50 on Sunday night the
fire department responded to call
from the residence of Fred Holmes,
located on Water street. The ladies
responded readily and fought the
flames with a determination to con-
quer them, but the hard wind blowing
at the time prevented possible saw
ing of the residence. However, had it
not been for the efforts of the depart
ment the barn, situated in close prox-
unity to the dwelling house, would
also have been destroyed.
Mr.. Holmes succeeded in rescuing
a portion of his furniture from the
flames, but the loss entailed, in excess
of a small insurance carried, is esti-
mated at not less than $3.50.
Delos N. Hunt, owner of the resi-
dence, valued the building destroyed
at 5000, upon which there is an insur-
ance of less than half this amount.
Both the house and furniture were
insured in companies represented by
Guy Ewing.
