Canada's Low Record.


Canada has three per million Of
people; Germany less than five; Eng
land Scotland and Wales about g.;
France about II; Belgium, highest Of
all, about 16; the United States, 1879.
"The United States can boast Of
about 43 times as many as Canada,
which is just on the other side of the
line and eight times as many as that
Of Belgium, which has the worst rec
ord in Europe.
"In this country the record Is in the
southern states and next is the CEN
tral states.
THE situation makes plain two IL
Illuminating facts. First, that Belgium,
which is the highest, has no death
penalty. In Canada, which is the low
est, seven-eighths Of the men tried
for murder were punished, generally
with death. In London, there were
13 homicides in one year, II Of the
offenders were hanged. In this coun-
try about one murder out Of IA gets
the death penalty. The average life
sentence is reduced to seven years.

The Band Boys Benefit Dance.

A more enjoyable event than the
band boys benefit dance at Brand IS
opera house on November % could
scarcely be conjectured-it was one
continual round of pleasure from the
time the grand march commenced until
the end of the last number. There
we're many dancers on the foor-the
ball was literally patronized-and
the music, by the bands full compile
ment with Professor Heinemann as
director, was excellent. A frst-class
supper was served to those who so de-
sired at the Ideal restaurant. Sixty
seven dollars was the amount realized
from the dance and the boys certainly
gave full value for the money.

A Bunch of Mighty Hunters.

Thos. Girling and IL other mighty
hunters, all from Minneapolis, passed
through Princeton on Friday in two
touring cars en- route to the Mile
Laos lake country, where they ex.
pected to kill at least % deer and II
moose-the legal limit. The party
consisted of Tom Girling, chief:
Frank Hoy, j. L. Priesman, DR.. A.
r. D. Owre, Michael McNamra, j.
A. Falconer, j. S. WOODBURY., Samuel
V. Morris, jr., A. W. Skog, Thos.
Lally, Henry johnson and T. J.
Noonan. They reached Princeton on
the return trip Monday and had in
their possession three deer and 19
white rabbits, but only the Lord, the
Indians and themselves know how
they obtained them. 1t was their in
tention when they started from the
Radisson hotel, Minneapolis, to pro-
coed to the Guyana range, but upon
reaching Vineland they found that the
annual medicine dance of the Indians
was in progress and they remained
there day to witness the weird cere-
monies. For a couple of bottles of
tobasco sauce and sack or two of
smoking tobacco they received per-
mission from Chief Neekanebi to par
ticipate in the dance, and greatly en-
joyed the sport. They say that had it
not been for the time spent dancing
and feasting on dog they would
doubtless have secured more deer.
This is probably true; for no Indian
can be hired to shoot game while the
medicine dance is on.

LIQUOR LICENSE REFUSED.

LIQUOR LICENSE REFUSED.
License to Sell Intoxicants Raised From
$500 to 1000 Per Annum.
A special meeting of the village
council was held on Friday evening
to consider, among other things, the
granting of liquor license to George
Smith. The application was for a
license to conduct saloon in the
room formerly occupied by Frank
Peterson in the opera house block.
Two petitions were presented to the
council-one signed by IS people
prassag that no license be granted
and the other, bearing p signatures,
asking that Smith be furnished with
the permit. The council balloted on
the question and the result was three
votes against issuing the license and
two in favor of granting it. Hence
the license was refused.
The council then passed resolu-
ton increasing the license fee to
$1,000, to 60 into effect as the licenses
now running expire and renewals are
made.
Councilman Whitney and Electrician
Randall were appointed committee
to select a new boiler for the power
