1 11- I 11 i i I i l\ _ PRINCETON UNION. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY. TE^Z^S, $1.50 IFex "STear. A A CASWELL, EDITOR G. I. STAPLES, BUSINESS MANAGER. Office: First St, East of Court House. PRINCETON, MINN., OCT. 24,1895. WHAT'S the matter A\ith reading a few Cleveland gold-bugs out of tho Re publican party THE Pionur Pnst* ih &till endeavor ing to stir up a eeiihus light. Dead ib hueia seem to be its hobby. MINNESO TA no\ er had a more seru puluou^lv honest and conscientious State tieasuior than Hon. A. T. Koer ner. Now that tho great pugilistic mill has been declared oft the big dailies inaj tuin their attention tothefurnish ing ol new to their subscribers. DULUTH'S absconding cashier was recemng onlj per month. The dnectors should make good the loss without calling on tho bondsmen. Doc*' FISH has again blossomed out as a journalist. The Great West is now the llu*t and West and is published at Penn Van. N. Y. Carrj the news to Ii SHERMAN 'S new book has stirred up a hoi net's nest. Garlield was nomi nated and elected president, served as sue until assassinated and the general public don't care a clam what part the senator plaj ed in the affair. THE announcement that the Corbett Fit/simmons light "will not take place leads one to belie\e that the dawn of a new ei a is at hand. Public senti ment has undeigone great changes in the last quaiterof a century. F. STEVE NS is frequently men tioned as a good man to succeed Con gressman Kieler. While the UNION is not in the distuct which will elect Mr. Stevens, it cordially endorses all the good things that have been said of him THE man who fills an elective office makes a guue mistake when he imag ines that his popularity is so great that he can afford to outrage common decency and defy public sentiment. Sooner or later he will hear from the people. THE Anoka outh who wanted the people who issued bO-day due-bills fdf potatoes ciucified can now buby him self erecting ciObbes in his own town. Starch factories are not getting rich and time purchases are not altogether uncalled for. THE Union League of Minneapolis is not solid for Davis for president. All the prominent candidates have sup porters in that body and it is quite evident that the favorite son racket won't work. There will not be a repetition of the "Windom 10" episode in 1S%. Ei BRASSED by the Clarke failure, D. XL lough and the firm of Clough Bros were f01 ced to make an assign ment Tuesday. This serious state of affairs is deeply legretted by every resident ol this section and the gov ernor's old neighbors hope the affair is not really so bad as the first reports sent out. THE "new woman" is in trouble again. Belva Lockwood, the noted di ess-reformer, is defendant in a crim inal libel. She is accused of posting libelous notices on a neighbor's door and was held to the grand jury. There must be something entirely wrong with the new woman when she can't get enough action on her tongue to squelch any living man. GENTLEMEN of the committee to lo cate the Fourth Insane Hospital, re member that southern Minnesota has had more than its share of State insti tutions, remember that Anoka and Delano each ofter an eligible site, and disremember the special pleadings of the Twin City press in behalf of Chaska. The hospital should be lo cated north of the Twin Cities. PRINCET ON was highly honored last week when so many Pythian notables visited the village. Besides the grand officers of this State Maj.-Gen. Carna han, of Indianapolis, was present, a courtesy shown no other village in Min nesota. Each visitor went away with an excellent impression of Princeton and this alone will repay the citizens who entertained them ten fold. Princeton is a live Minnesota town and will soon be known as such all over the United States. There is every indication that Princeton will soon be in the throes of a waran oil war. The Standard Oil company established a station here and gave the merchants to understand that they would save the freight on all oil shipments by reason of this ar rangement. Since that time the mer chants have been paying 13 cents for oil which is retailed in Minneapolis for nine cents so when an independent company undertook to extend its trade to Princeton it found it a compara tively easy task. The Standard then immediately began a cut offering to give merchants a rebate so that its oil could be sold at one or two cents less per gallon than the new company. If the merchants work their cards prop erly oil will be a cent a gallon in Princeton the same as has been the case in other cities. As one merchant expressed himself "The Standard has been skinning us all summer and now I'll be if I'll handle their oil." Best kerosene is 11 cents here now while in most places 10 cents is the limit. Dog Lost. Monday, Oct. 14th, a brown water spaniel puppy, about four months old, answers to name of Jerry, any one re turning him to Win. Ross, opposite Post Office, will be rewarded.
