The Village Council.

The village council met in ad-
journed session on Monday evening
and there was but little business
which came up for consideration.
The application of H. T.. Cowles
Geo. Newton, J. G. Herdliska ct al.
to have certain alleys vacated was
laid on the table for further con-

and it was found that the election
expenses of the village of Princeton

The Great Football Came

In one of the best football games
ever seen on historic Northrop field
the Wisconsin crimson triumphed
over the Minneso ia maroon and gold
and won the western championship
last Saturday by the decisive score
of Ia to O. The score, however, does
not really show the relative playing
strength and ability of the two op-
posing teams, as Minnesota played a
better game than the score indicates,
and in the last few minutes of play
gave the stands an exhibition of
game, uphill football playing and
sent scare deep into the hearts of
the Wisconsin rooters. ~>..... s-
With the score IA to 0 against them,
and but few minutes left to play,
Minnesota secured the ball on their
own 20-yard line after Wisconsin had
failed at an attempted field goal.
Using the famous Minnesota Shift
with deadly effect the Minnesota
team rushed the ball down the field,
making short but consistent gains
and retaining possession of the ball.
Nearer and nearer, the coveted Wis
consin goal line the maroon and gold
cohorts pushed the attack and the
Wisconsin defense seemed ready to
go to pieces before the whitening
assault of the Minnesota team. But
here the hand of fate reached out
and grabbed the fruits of this won
derful playing from the Minnesotans,
for with the ball on Wisconsin IS g.
yard line and touchdown almost
inevitable, time was called and the
game was over.
Wisconsin brought veteran team
to Minneapolis to humble their
greener and less experienced foemen
and met an efense that at tiIhes
they were unable to solve, and such
a stubborn defense that their hard
plunging backs were Outlines
stopped when their gains could easi-.

The November term of the dis
trict court convened on Monday
evening with Judge Carroll A. Nye
on the bench. With his stenogra-
pher, Philip M. Woodward, and At
torney Sullivan. the judge arrived
here in Ira G. Stanley's automobile
from Elk River, where Mr.. Stanley
happened to run onto them while
they were waiting for train. Dep
uty Sheriff Tom Kaliher, in a stem
torian voice, opened court in the
regulation manner and the Judge
called the calendar and charged the
grand jury, selecting F. A. Lowell as
foreman. That body organized by
electing Grant Weatherly of Page
secretary. The evening session was
largely taken up in arguing motions
in the 500 railway cases.
On the calendar for this term there
are 30 500 railway and 25 other civil
cases.
The grand jury yesterday morning
returned an Indictment against s..
W. Williams of assault in the third
degree. Mr.. Williams appeared be-
fore the court yesterday afternoon in
person and by his attorney, Charles
Keith, waived the reading of the
indictment. The court imposed a.
fine of $4,000 this afternoon, which
was promptly paid.
This is a case in which defendant
was bound over to the grand Jury
from justice court upon the COM
plant of Chas. Plummer for an
alleged assault, the particulars of
which the public is familiar with.
The cases disposed of are as fol-
lows:

Girls of Sixties Celebrate.

One OF the most enjoyable gather
ings of the "Girls of the '6O's" was
celebrated at the home of Mrs. Eva
Keith on the evening Of November
16. Four of the members have birth
days this month, and these were
duly remembered with pretty gifts
and with booklets containing original
verses commemorative of the several
anniversaries. For the first time in
the history of the organization a man
was present as an invited guest, the
reason for the very special ''fayor"
being the fact that his (Mr. Frank
Campbell's) birthday happened to
fall upon the same date as that of
the party. Mrs. Campbell was also
present as were Mrs. Carleton and
Mrs. Sinclair, friends in the immedi-
ate neighborhood.
The colors selected for decoration
were lavender and yellow, and the
hostess had provided a beautiful
bouquet Of chrysanthemums in these
tints, together with candles, one at
each plate, and these were lighted
during the meal-time. The repast
was most delicious and all did ample
justice to it's "toothsomeness,' but
the best fun of the occasion conferred
in the victim of truly 'tpractical''
joke, sister who had previously
"ordered'' her birthday gift by re-
marking that nothing would please
her so much as "society" apron.
And the ''apron" was there, multi
piled as many times as there are
members, so that the recipient was
literally ,deluged by an apron
'shower.' She has since been
"moved,' by the way, to pen the
following as sort of an apology of
her seeming ingratitude:
Aprons to right Of her,
Aprons to left of her,
Aprons behind her,
Aprons before.
Aprons from north of her,
Aprons from south of her,
Aprons from east, and
Aprons from west of her
Still there were more!
Aprons excited her,
Aprons delighted her,
Aprons she'd wished for,
Yet now did deplore.
Aprons surrounded her,
Aprons astounded her, r..
Aprons she'd asked for, g..
And yet she was ''sore."
Seeming ungrateful, - -.
Even most hateful,
Yet, truly, so thankful
For these aprons galore!
Two Of these dainty gifts came
from mem bers who are now in the
far west and there was also lovely
birthday card for each, and a dear
friendly letter inscribed to the soci-
ETY.. At the close of the festivities
the guests departed with the usual
remembrance of a most happily spent
evening.

.RESENTS ATTACK
ON LAND COMPANY
Wealthy South Orange Pub
Usher Makes Reply to
Kraus Nor.

Resenting an attack made by Kraus
Nor on the Meadow Land Society, of
which he is president and which is
composed principally of wealthy New
York business men who reside in
South Orange. William F. Allen, the
New York publisher and former MEM
Der of the Village Board of Trustees,
at meeting last night succeeded in
having the Village Board place on its
minutes facts" as presented by him,
concerning the society. which Mr..
Nor had alleged was composed of
high financiers, who had Cameron
Field. the public playground, estab-
lished in order to enrich themselves.
Though Mr. Allen did not mention
the name of the accuser. he said in
a communication to President Francis
Speir that misstatements had been
made regarding the action of the
Meadow Land Society concerning the
land recently acquired by the village
as public playground.
Mr.. Nor had declraed that the
owned by the Meadow Land Society,
was gotten rid of in order to benefit
the stockholders financially and, in
cidentally, take white elephant
off their hands. He declared the land
was a swamp.
Mr.. Allen last night showed as proof
that the members of the Meadow
Land Society were not seeking money
by disposing of the land for a play
ground; that $1,000 of the $500 con-
tributed in subscriptions for it's pur-
chase was given by members of the
society.
After reviewing the history of the
purchase of the tract Mr.. Allen said:
The proposition for making a pub"
lie playground of this land originated
with the Rev. Lewis Cameron, an
examination of the tract having been
made at his instance by an expert,
who had laid out and arranged other
Fairgrounds and who pronounced 1t
an ideal place for the purpose Mr..
Cameron suggested that 1t be called
Lincoln park, but after his lamenta-
BILE death the name Cameron Field"
was adopted.
The land conveyed by the Meadow
Land Society to the Cameron Field
Association embraced all of the
Tompkins tract, except a small tri-
angular strip at the northeast corner
adjoining the Lackawanna railroad,
and 1t also included some other land
which the society had purchased from
e. II. Mead in 1889.
I'M III
this land to the Cameron Field As
sociation for $1,000, and it's members
contributed nearly $1,000 of the total
$500 raised for this public play
ground and it's improvement. The
subsequent presentation of the prop
erty to the village, free of cost, by
the trustees of Cameron field is shown
upon the village records"
