Owing to an irregularity in the call
issued for a special school meeting in
district No. l, held about month ago,
it was necessary to hold another special
meeting last Saturday evening. On
motion of B. M. VanAlstein, resolu-
ton providing for the issuance of bonds
to the amount of $4,000 was voted
upon. There was only one vote against
the resolution. Inside of six months
Princeton will have a fine new brick
school house. The probabilities are
that it will not be necessary to expend
the entire amount voted.

fact that he is not in the legislature. It
was an outrage to unseat Mr.. Dunn, for
there was little doubt but what he was

ward has been east of the Mississippi in ten
years, though he was born n reared to

bound out to a farmer for 800 and a free
don suit" of clothes. About 1s40 he
went to Minnesota, married there
settled down, when the discovery of gold
at Suffers Fort unsettled him and every
one else.
Mr.. Hayward left his wife and started
west with all he had saved. After some ups
and downs he found himself digging away
ut q rather unpromising claim, with every
cent gone. In this extremity Bonanza
Flood, then the keeper of a small grocery,
came to his assistance. Hayward had just
spent all of Floods none as we'll as his
own when he struck it rich. His first move
was to write to his wife for the first time in
months. his second to invite Flood to join
him in working what proved to be the very
richest of all the California mines. 1t was
gratitude worth while, for it made a many
millionaire of Flood as we'll as Hayward.
Then there were other mines and more
millions and wonderful houses and stables
and acts of %princely generosity. Then fam
ily troubles and a gradual retirement from
affairs. Now Mr.. Hayward is a feeble old
man, not much like the rosy country boy
who used to throw a base ball left handed
| farther than any of his schoolmates could
do with either hand, when not one of the
lot had ever seen $40. Probably any one OF
