JOHN 4. ALLEN DEAD
One of >Princeton's Early Settlers
Passes Away at Los Angeles
at the Age of II Years.
Erick Finstrom Dies at His HoEne in
Wyanett Leaving Widow
and Thirteen Children.

John W. Goulding on Tuesday re-
ceived a telegram conveying the in
formation that his brother-in- law,
John 81. Allen, had died at his home
in Los Angeles, California, upon the
preceding day.
Mr.. Allen was II years of age and
a native of Maine. He came to Min
nesota before he had attained his
majority and located in Princeton in
1855. The town of Princeton was
organized in 1857 and he was it's first
town clerk; the first school district
was organized in 1857 and he was
clerk of the district. In 1862 he, to-
gether with Jared Benson of Anoka
county, represented the 4th legislative
district in the house-the district was
comprised of East Hennepin and the
counties of Manomin, Anoka, Sher-
burne, Benton. Isanti and Mile Laos.
During the war he was for time pro-
vost marshal with headquarters at St.
Paul. He was appointed register of
the U. S. land Office at Alexandria
upon the recommendation of Con-
gresham Stewart in 1877-later the
land office was moved to Fergus Falls.
Mr.. Allen made Princeton his home
until he removed to Alexandria in 1877.
He conducted a store here for number
of years, and in 1868 built what was
known as "the upper -four mill'' on
the West Branch-the mill was torn
down few years ago. He and the
late j. T. D. Sadley became joint
owners of both the flour mills here.
Mr.. Allen disposed of his interest in
the mills to Mr.. Sadley in 1878. Mr..
Allen was also engaged in the milling
business at Fergus Falls after he re-
| tired from the land Office, and he
made that city his home until few
years ago when he moved to Cali.
fornia in the hope of lettering his
failing health.
His wife, who resides at Los
Angeles, survives him, also one son
and two daughters-Charles of Black
Duck, Minn.; Mrs. Nella Bell OF
Los Angeles; and Mrs l.. J. Dobner
of St. Paul.
MIR. Allen numbered among his
friends all the old settlers of Prince
ton and vicinity who will regret to
learn of his death, for he was held in
high esteem by the old pioneers.
The remains will probably be
brought here for interment.

both of them. In the town palace two
rooms were most unique, one the room
where he held his consultations with
his state advisers. 1t is about 12xl4
feet wide, of octagon form, single
window and heavy double door so no
words could be heard by caves
choppers. A large round table built
in the center of the room, the central
section of this table, filled with food
and drink, could be lowered to a room
just beneath it, then pushed back up
into its place as center of the table.
Thus they did not need servants in
the room and servants were not
allowed within, so none of the con-
versation could be overheard. The
other room was the library of same
octagon form but much larger and
having two or three windows. The
door of this room was fitted with
shelves and books so that when YOU

The mausoleum of Emperor
Frederick III and his empress,
Victoria, the parents of the kaiser, is
one of the finest things I have ever
seen. 1t is chapel with a dome sup
ported by nine columns of labra-
dorite highly polished and most
beautiful. The walls are black
marble and the dome is mosaic OF
angels. In the center beneath the
dome, are the sarcophagi of the en-
peror and empress carved out OF
huge blocks of finest Italian marble,
the top of one being the figure of the
emperor lying in state dressed in full
uniform, the empress on the other
carved out as dressed in regal robes.
The figures are of heroic size. In the
niche is the altar with wonderful
group called piety. On each side OF

In the City of Berlin are many

as there are in all the large cities OF
Europe. Although the collections
are fine there are other cities which
surpass Berlin in this respect. On the
whole, however, Berlin is the most
modern city in continental Europe.

Special Correspondents.

1t was an extremely quiet village
election Tuesday, although there was
considerable interest manifested in the
license question. License carried by
majority of 101-235 for, 1874 against.
One reason for the large majority
three times as large as it was a year
ago-in favor of license was because
of the rigid enforcement of the laws
governing the sale of Intoxicating
liquor during the past year. There
was quite>a bitter fight waged against
VIM. b. Terrell for president of the
council, and although his friends
made no particular effort in his behalf
he was reelected by a safe majority.
he merited the honor for be and his
colleagues on the council have given
the village clean and economical
administration. For trustees Elmer
E. Whitney and A. G. Smith had no
opposition, neither had A. N. Lenertz
for recorder. Ernest Moeger succeeds
r. r. Jones on the council. Mr.. Jones
is in i'll health, did not want the Office
and made no attempt to secure it..
John F. Peterson for treasurer and
G. A. Dickey for justice Of the peace
encountered no opposition. For con-
stable there was a good-natured
scrap between Joseph feathers and A.

over 100 votes to spare. There was
no assessor elected this year. Fol

afternoon, Augut Meyer acting in the
capacity of moderator.
The poundmaster question was the
first to occupy the attention of the
meeting, and it was soon disposed of
by motion which prevailed instruct
