Sunday morning about half-past
three o'clock, as Will Lax and
Arthur Williams, two colored boys,
were passing up the street, they
discovered flames in the interior of
the Greater Bonanza. They inn
mediately gave the alarm, an
entrance was forced in the front
door, and after considerable hard
work the flames were finally sub
dued. The fire originated in a box
of sawdust used as a cuspidor, and
probably started from some one
throwing a lighted cigar in the box.
The box was about the middle Of
the building and the fire had
burned out the flooring to the sides
of the building, thence up to the
roof, and the flames were just
breaking through the building
when the colored boys made the
discovery. The work of extinguish-
ing the flames was most unpleas-
ant, for as soon as water was
thrown on the fire the'building be-
came full of smoke and steam and
the air was sitting. Numbers had
responded to the first alarm, how
ever, and the fire was finally put
under subsection. It was a very
narrow escape, though, and had
the discovery been fifteen minutes
later the building sure, and prob
ably the entire block, would have
been doomed. Capt. Byers esti-
mates his loss on stock by water
and smoke at something over $50,
while the loss on the building is
about the same. The stock and
building were insured.

BOARD OF CONTROL TROUBLE
Faribault and Owatonna Want the Whole
System Abolished

If the Legislature carries out the recon-
mendation of Governor Van SAINTS mes.
sage. it wall abolish two state boards, the
one in charge of the state schools for the
deaf and blind. at Faribault. and the trus-
tees of the state public school at OWa-
tonna.
These Institutions. like the normal
schools. ara now under the financial super
vision Of the board of control. Experience
shows that Two boards cannot satisfactor
lily manage the same institution. SO the
governor advises a change all around. He
would divorce the university and the nor
NAL schools from the board of control en-
t;rely, but would give the semi charitable
educational Institutions entirely into the
hands Of the BOARD.
This move will meet with opposition
from the towns where the institutions are
located, and these towns are likely to be
the : centers for a concerted movement
against the board Of control system. The
legislative members from those counties
are opposed to the board. and figure that
about the only way: 10 get out from under
it is tos abolish it altogether. Beyond
question bill of this kind will be intro
duced and will provoke, one of the great
fights Of the session. with all the power
Of the state administration opposed to the
change. 1t is not believed that there is
| any chance for the anti-board people to
win on the merits Of the case Their only
hope is in some trading proposition.
Friends of the university and the nor
| NAL schools will haYe, admhlistra ton sup
port in taking these institutions out from
under the board, and einireturn will prob
ably stand by the law on every other

Minneapolis and the tributary north
west is a market almost entirely for east

fields are in a large part engaged in sup

Consequently the Iowa and the Illinois
coal does not come fast enough to help out
the eastern coal mines In supplying the
furnaces Of Minneapolis manufacturing
establishments.
"The scarcity is further aggravated as
often stated, by the fact that Minneapolis
has to divide with the northwest. AL
though sufficient coal comes to supply the
demand Of thercity alone. much Of this
must go elsewhere.
