Charged With Blind Pigging.

AS. result of a raid made on the
premises occupied by Fritz Kunkle in
north Princeton, Sunday, a charge of
blind-pigging has been preferred
against him. Sheriff Shockley, his
deputy, Henry L. Shockley, and acting
Marshal Fox made the raid. Just
what evidence was secured has not
been disclosed, aside from the fact
that four beer cases and bottles were
taken. Only one Of the bottles, how
ever, was filled with the amber fluid
that made Milwaukee famous.
Kunkle was arraigned before JUS
tice Dickey on Monday. afternoon, but
no plea was entered, and the case was
continued to next Monday.
If action is brought under the pro-
visions Of the Minnesota county option
law, the case will not be triable in
justice court, but County Attorney

Village Council Meets.

The village council met in regular
session last evening with all members
present, and Mayor Newbert presid-
ing.
On motion duly made, seconded and
carried it was decided to have the side
walk adjoining the residence of Mrs.
Mary Rines, torn up by order of the
council last year, replaced.
The matter of paving Main street
came up for consideration, and was
discussed, but no action was taken. It
was decided to have a committee
named to investigate the paving prop
osition thoroughly, and submit re-
port, and the business men who own
abutting property will also be con-
suited in the matter. The probabili-
ties are that concrete or creosote will
be used.
Kaliher & King put in a claim for
$3.50 for injuries sustained by one of
their horses, which plunged into pit
in the street near the Riverside gar
age few weeks ago. The claim was
laid over until next meeting.
Corey Bros Shows applied for
license to operate merry go-round
and shows here May Is to 20, inclu-
sive, and the fee was fixed in the sum
Of $35.
It was decided to use the large
whistle in sounding the alarm of fire,
the department having requested this.
The fire department was granted
permission to take the chemical en-
CINE to the cemetery for protection
while cleanup work and burning is
being done.
On motion $50 was voted to the fire
department to defray the cost of send
ing three delegates to the state con-
vention at Chisholm next summer.
After acting on the usual grist Of
bills the council adjourned.

The Dublin Riot.

Poor old Ireland's latest rebellion is
a thing of the past. It lasted just
seven days, and was confined to the
city of Dublin. But during those seven
days property valued at $10,000,0O0
was destroyed, and it is estimated that
five or six hundred of the misguided
rebels were killed and over one thous-
and wounded. A number of policemen
and soldiers and a few civilians were
also killed. Several hundred of the
rebels have been shipped to England
where they may be tried for treason.
The "outbreak" must have been
planned-if there was any plan to it
by irresponsible madcaps. Any sane
person must have known that there
was not the remotest possibility of the
movement succeeding.
What the poor, deluded, unorganized
rioters hoped to accomplish is not ap-
parent. Blind hatred of England
seemed to be the only motive that
actuated them.
-Four of the leaders Patrick H..
Pearce, James Connolly, Thomas J..
Clark and Thomas MasDonagh-were
tried by court martial, found guilty
and shot in London yesterday morn
ing.
Sir Roger Easement is still pris-
oner in the Tower of London.
Augustine Birrell, chief secretary
for Ireland, has resigned.

1.-THE HOLY CITY"
A Sacred Cantata, to be Rendered at
the Princeton ArmOry Mon
day Evening, May Is.
Cambridge Choral Union Will Present
Production With Which it Has
Delighted Many.

A real treat awaits the music lovers
of Princeton and vicinity. The Cam
bridge Choral Union will present
1.-THE Holy City," sacred cantata, at
the Armory on Monday evening, May
Is.
This is the third consecutive season
that the Cambridge Choral Union has
been in operation, and it has delighted
Isanti county audiences time and time
again. At it's last appearance before
a Cambridge audience, this spring, the
commodious court house hall of our
neighboring village did not begin
to hold the immense throng that turned
out, and a second rendition was given.
The chorus contains over go we'll
trained voices, and is directed by Mr..
c. H. Switzerland. An out-of-town
tenor soloist, Mr.. Paul Bloom, who
has been identified with various cho-
ruses, quartets, etc., Of the Gustavus
Adolphus college, accompanies them. A
five-piece orchestra will also add to the
enjoyableness of the program.
In "The Holy City" the songsters of
our neighboring village are at their
best, and we have it on good authority
that it is the most pleasing production
they have ever presented. Besides
choral numbers, there will be vocal
solos, DUETS, quartets and orchestra
selections.
This will be the first appearance in
Princeton of this organization, and
the Union bespeaks for our neighbors
cordial reception. We have no hest
fancy in stating that those who attend
will enjoy every minute of it.

Rochester and the adjacent coun-
try, early in the states history, was
settled by sturdy type of men and
women, intelligent, industrious, moral
and intensely religious, religious in the
old-fashioned way, each sternly parti-

ediTces were required to accommodate
the different denominations that the
town became known as the "City of
Churches"
! Naturally this character of popula-
ton begot strong, virile, ambitious

mark in the history of the state and

county has produced more men and

The Two Extremes.


The Minneapolis Journal takes the
extreme view on road building and
favors vesting the state highway
commission with the powers now ex-
ercised by county boards. The other
extremists favor a return to the old
township system. We favor the pres
ent law with the county as the road
building unit to either of these. There
may be some slight changes neces-
sary, but in the main the law suits
us up this way. We are getting good
roads, and doubt if we could get them
better or more of them for the same
money under more centralized sup
ervision.--Roseau Region.
