THE VILLAGE SOL0NS|
Regular nonthly Meeting Held rlon-
day Evening, Dec sd, With
All Members Present.
License Granted James F. Sullivan to
Sell Spirituous and Malt Liq=
uOrs at Riverside Hotel.

The regular monthly meeting of the
village council was held on Monday
evening with all members, Messrs.
Cooney, Galley, Chapman, Craig and
Borden, present.
A motion to increase to the extent of
ST, 900 the insurance on village power
house equipment was carried unani-
mously. This was made necessary by
the additional machinery in the shape
of new engine, dynamo, etc., recently
acquired.
A license was granted to James F.
Sullivan to sell intoxicating liquors
at the Riverside hotel in the village of
Princeton.
In relation to this matter the fol-
lowing is of interest: A document ex-
lists, and is on record in the Office of
the register of deeds of Mile Lacs
county, wherein Emmett Mark and wife
and John F.. Peterson and wife, par
ties of the first part, entered into an
agreement, for consideration of
$500, with the Theodore Hamm Brew
ing company and Sjoblom Bros, par
ties of the second part, that no intoxi-
eating liquors be sold on the site of
the Riverside hotel for period of ten
years from April 5, 1905. The docu-
ment concludes with the following
words: "This agreement shall extend
to and be obligatory upon the parties
hereto and their respective heirs, ex-
ecutors, administrators and assigns" :"
Since that time, however, the River
side hotel has come into the posses
sion of Frank Smith, and from said
Smith Jas. F. Sullivan holds a five
year lease. This lease contains no
clause prohibiting the sale of liquor
on the premises specified, and there
fore Mr.. Sullivan does not believe
that he can be affected by the agree
ment entered into by parties with
whom he had no dealings.l
A letter was read from the Pioneer
Electric company of st. Paul Offering
to give S525 in electrical supplies for
the engine and dynamo recently dis
carded by the village. The council,
deeming the offer insufficient, refused
it.
". II. Ferrell and F.. G. Dunn called
the attention of the village council to
the deplorable condition of the village
streets, and q long controversy ensued
upon the subject. No formal action
was taken in the matter, but the dis
cussion was, fguratively speaking,
the planting of seed which will bring
forth fruit in the springtime.
A number of bills were passed upon
and the council adjourned.
Al. NUM- Loops Toboggan Slide.
Our fellow townsman, AL. NUM-,
while attempting to loop the double
toboggan slide near Charles Rines'
residence, stubbed his toes against an
embryo glacier and proceeded to chop
up the atmosphere with his heels. Be-
ing gymnastic in his make-up,-supple
in his bones, as it were,- Al. sus-
tanned no material damage to his
physical structure, but the contents of
small coverless can which he was
carrying at the time mixed themselves
up with the hair of his head and
clogged up the fur of his overcoat. In
this can AL. was conveying to his
HONEYWELL, never mind it's name. It
was a rich, creamy, saffron-colored
compound with very pleasant
fragrance. Al. says that he did not
care so much for the loss of the mix
ture and the clogging up of his exterior
as he did.for the fact that three ladies
who knew him were passing at the
time and gave him the horse laugh.
Next Thanksgiving AL. proposes to
put cover on his medicine can and
avoid the toboggan slides about town.
VIM. Harter Occupies New House.
William Harter has moved into his
new house in Princeton, but expects
to occupy it only temporarily and re-
turn to his farm in the spring. Thus
he will continue to retain his legal
residence in Princeton township. His
reason for moving into the village is
to attend to the marketing of his sons
potato crop. The house which Mr..
Harter now occupies is built on the
most modern principles it's appurte-
nances are complete. The building is
for sale.
MIR. and Mrs. Ewing Surprised.
