PROGRAM WAS GOOD

But Entertainment Did Not Receive
Patronage 1t Deserved.
The musical and literary entertain
ment given at the Methodist church
on Tuesday evening under the aus
pieces of the Bereans did not receive
the patronage of which it was deserv-
ing-the audience was small one.
Much time and work was necessary
in order to prepare so fue a program
as that presented, and the Bereans
were consequently disappointed at the
lack of attendance. Then again.
several who were down on the pro-
gram for numbers failed to put in an
appearance. This of course had the
effect of shortening the program, but
the numbers presented were of the
highest order and we'll executed.
Mrs. Galley, in her usual inimitable
manner, gave several vocal solos;
Misses Aimee Woodcock and Adina
Lundquist, a piano duet; Miss King,
reading; Mr.. Moe, trombone solo;
Miss Grace Kysor, q piano solo: Miss
Emma Taylor, a reading; Miss Alta
Reichard, a recitation, and there was
pretty flower play by eleven little
girls of the primary grade.

AT NORTHWESTERN HOSPITAL.

Joyce, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. S.
S. Peterson, was operated upon for
acute appendicitis on Saturday even
ing. She had suffered from the
trouble for SO hours before taken to
the hospital and was consequently in
critical condition when the opera
ton was performed. For three days
there was but little hope of the
patients recovery owing to the prog
ress the disease had made before the
operation, but she finally rallied and
is now doing as well as could be
expected. DR.. Walsh of st. Paul was
called into consultation by DR..
Cooney on Tuesday.
Clarence Olson of Elk River and
Mrs. Corran of Dayton returned to
their homes on Monday, having fully
recovered from their ailments.
Chas. Pinz, whose right hand was
lacerated by a machine at the brick
yards, had two fingers amputated at
the second joint on Monday.

VOLUME XXXIII. NO. 81
A MONTHLY MARKET
Business Men of Princeton Decide to
Establish One for Benefit of
Farmers and Others.
Saturday, rlay 20, Date Upon Which
the First of the rlonthIy Tar
kets Will Be Held.

. A meeting of business men was held
on Tuesday morning at Henry Avery's
store for the purpose of considering
the advisability of establishing a
monthly market day for Princeton.
The proposition was thoroughly dis
cussed and it was unanimously
agreed that venture of this sort
would be a good thing for the farmers
as we'll as the mercantile establish
ments of Princeton.
A decision was thereupon arrived
at to hold a market day upon the last
Saturday of each month, the first to
occur on May 20, and an organization
was effected with C. A. Jack, presi-
dent; A. E. Allen, secretary; and
Henry Avery, these officers
to act as a committee to make the
necessary arrangements.
It was the sense of the meeting that
these market days be held exclusively
for the farmers they be days
upon which the farmers may bring in
anything which they wish to dispose
of at auction-live stock, agricultural
implements, vehicles, etc.-and that
the same be sold without commission
charges. M. M. Stroeter has kindly
consented to sell such property free
of..charge to the owners.
. A program of sports such as foot
racing, etc., will be arranged by the
committee upon each occasion and a
brass band will be engaged to furnish
music throughout the afternoon The
sports will be conducted on Main
street. The auction will commence
at O'Clock sharp on the vacant lot
opposite Henry Avery's clothing
store, and it is necessary that farmers
have whatsoever they wish to dispose
OF upon the grounds some time dur
ing the morning of the sale.
In addition to the above the bust
ness men will make it point to have
special bargain sales upon these
monthly market articles will be
cut in price for the occasion.
Many towns in the state have for
years set apart one day in each month
for similar purpose to that about to
be tried here, and in almost every in
stance with success. Therefore there
is no apparent reason why it should
not prove winner in Princeton.
The program of sports for the first
market day-May 29-will appear in
next weeks Union.

DR.. Armitage's Machine, Operated by
Hired Man, Smashes Buggy
Between IL and IL o'clock on Sun.
day morning DR.. Armitage's automo-
bile, which was being operated by his
hired man, ran into buggy contain
ing two men who had come down from
Milaca to attend the ball game and
smashed one of the front wheels to
smithereens. The occupants luckily
escaped injury. It was near the First
National bank where the accident
occurred and the horses, breaking
loose from the vehicle, ran up the
street at a terrific speed. When near
Edmund Young's barn one of the
horses plunged into a buggy which
was standing outside and smashed it
to pieces. No injury was sustained
by the horses. A peculiar coincident
of the affair is that both of the buggies
which were smashed belong to Mr..
Thomas, a liveryman of Milaca.
The accident appears to have re-
suited from the horses becoming
scared by the automobile and the
drivers unfamiliarity with the
machine.

HELP THE VETERANS
Citizens Should Assist Old Soldiers in
Making Preparations for rle-
mortal Day Exercises.
Heroes of Civil War Have Arrived at
an Age Where Assistance
Would Be Appreciated.

The members of Wallace T. Rines
Post, Grand Army of the Republic,
have selected Monday, May 81, for
the formal observance of Decoration
day-for the Memorial day exercises.
Upon the preceding day-Memo
day proper-the veterans will attend
service at St. Edwards Catholic
church, where Rev. Father Levings
will deliver sermon in honor of the
heroes who have answered the last
trumpet call-who have joined the
camp on the other shore.
A word is here timely in regard to
assisting the veterans in making prep
arations for Memorial day exercises
in taking the burden of the work from
their shoulders. They have all ar
rived at an age where they are hardly
capable of attending to the details of
the observance-thew work is too much
for them.
Last year the business men of
Princeton organized an association,
with E. B. Anderson treasurer, for
the purpose above stated and the re-
suit was highly gratifying. Citizens
contributed to the fund and the money
was expended in the carrying out of
program for the beftting observance
of the day.
This year we learn, however, from
Officers of the Grand Army Post that
difficulty is being experienced in get
ting the business men to take hold of
the matter-that there is an apparent
reluctance prevalent. Such a feeling
is to be deplored, for it is really a
matter of duty to render every posi-
bic assistance to the handful of heroes
who remain with US upon the one day
in the year set apart for honoring the
dead who fought for their country.
Let US hope that an organization
will yet be effected for cooperating
with Wallace T. Rines Post and as
sisting it in carrying out the Memorial
day observances.

Mr.. Pratt contemplates making
further Improvements to his summer
resort this year-to convert it into
one of the most beautiful trysting

much larger number of visitors this
year than at any former time and will

boating, camping and outdoor enjoy
ment generally there is no place like
Elk Lake park. Notice of the formal
opening of this pretty summer resort

Running No Bluff.

When I advertise sound, young
native work horses for sale those are
the kind which you will find at my
barn. I run no bluff. This you can
easily determine by inspecting the
horses. There are no western horses
in the market or elsewhere that can
compare for good qualities with the
young native mares and geldings
which now have for sale. They are
perfectly sound, and if you are not
satisfied with your purchase I will re-
turn the money. Very reasonable
prices now prevail. Come and look
over the bunch. VIM, Ross.

that Charles Grasty, who recently be-

in St. Paul. 1t also means the con-
clusion of the newspaper war which
has been waged in St. Paul since the
Pioneer started it's evening edition,
which was brought out to buck the

tinued.

Tire High School Game.

Az last the Princeton High School
ball team has bagged scalp. Be-
tween showers at Cambridge on Satur-
day our boys downed the high school
aggregation of that town by score OF
s13 to 5. The weather was by no
means favorable for fast ball. vet a
very fair game was put up by both
sides.
Princeton came to bat first, and
before the side was retired runs had
been jotted down by the scorekeeper.
From that time to the first of the sixth
inning it was anybody's game, but in
that inning Princeton experienced a
batting rally and six men encircled
the diamond. After that the game
was PrincetOn's in a walk.
The Cambridge team played fast
and snappy ball but lacked team
work, while the Princeton boys pro-
duced the goods from start to finish.
