A ROYAL FAMILY QUARREL.
Cause of the Prince of Saxe-Meiningens
Resignation as Commander.

Berlin, May 15.-The controversy regarding the
resignation of the hereditary Prince of Saxe-Mein-
ingen, brother-in-law of Emperor William. from
the command of the Sixth Army Corps. which mas
been the subject of lively interest in army circles
for about two weeks, seems to have been settled
by a statement in the semi-oficial "Angemeine
Zeitung' to-day the effect that the princes re-
tirement was due to the receipt OF an autograph
letter from Emperor William. commanding him TO
revoke his army order against the maltreatmene
of soldiers. The Emperor held that the order was
subversve of discipline. because It encouraged SOL
diers to complain to the officers of high rank OF
their treatment by officers of lower rank.
The princes relations with his brother-in-law
had long been strained. when he received the
Emperor's letter April 90 he Immediately re-
signed, and his majesty telegraphed his acceptance
Of the resignation from Rome on May 8.

Gov. A. E. Rice returned to his home
from his Southern trip last Saturday.
Mrs. Rice remained in Cuba for a

will arise complications that will re-

Presidential Train Through Willmar.

Presidential Train Through WilImar.
The fact that the special train of
President Roosevelt will be handled
through Willmar on the presidents
western trip naturally causes ques-
tion to arise whether the schedule of
the trip is so arranged that Willmar-
ties will be enabled to sec either the
head of the nation or the train that
will bear him. The itinerary of the
trip is such that the president will
reach St. Paul at 2:30 on the AFTER
noon of April 4, spending few hours
in that city, and then going to Min.
neapolis, where the evening will be
spent. The Twin cities are arranging
an elaborate program for the occa-
sion, and it is probable that q num-
Der from this city will 60 down. At
II o 'c1ock the train is scheduled to
leave for Sioux Falls, over the Great
Northern, which would take it through
Willmar early in the morning of the
5th, Easter Sunday. The president is
to spend that day in Sioux Falls. AS

Gave . Pleasing Entertainment.

The stormy weather on Monday
evening prevented as large an audi
ence from attending the entertainment
at the Seminary as there would have
been had the evening been q more
pleasant one. Those who were pres
ent we're treated to An excellent pro-
gram and showed their appreciation
with frequent applause. The Semi
nary band was ably assisted in the
several numbers on the program by
other home talent. Among the num-
bers receiving encores was q song by
little Florence Neuberger, who re-
sponded with another solo; q vocal
duet by Marion Minton and Helen
Sather, who also favored the audi
enoe with a second number. The cor
net solo, "The holy City," by J. T.
Otos, with orchestra accompaniment,
was one of the best numbers on the
program and was most heartily ap-
plauded. The farce, "The Mouse
Trap" was ably rendered by MEM
bers OF the Osseo society. The selec-
tions by the band were OF high ord
or and the entertainment throughout
was deserving of credit.

Land Seekers Are nany.

A. G. Johnson returned Monday
morning from his trip, which inclnded
. visit to Toronto and also Winnipeg.
Mr.. johnson also visited the Black
Bay mining property and found the
Willmar men busy at work. At Win
nipeg he noticed the same condition OF
things that confronts all visitors to
that city during the big immigration
to Canada, the lack of proper lodging
accommodations on account of the
immense number of land seekers who
throng that city. Mr.. johnson did
not have occasion to stop there over
night, so was not obliged to put up
with some Of the inconveniences suf-
fered by others. He reports that graft
ers are quite numerous and altogether
things are very lively in the Canadian

ACTIVE In PARK MATTERS
Tho Proper Bodies Having Charge Of
Public improvements in tho City
lnaugurate Movements.

With good active work ON the part
of two organizations in the city, the
Commercial Club and the Woman's
Improvement League, many improve
| ments which are now under consider
alton will be made the coming sum-
mer. The latter organization has
been assured that the project of con-
| verting the Great Northern right of
way between Third and Fourth streets
into public park will be carried out
by the railway company. An engineer
was here recently looking the grounds
oyer and the matter is now being taken
hold of in earnest by the proper de-
partment. The plans as prepared in
| clude graveled drives to the freight
and passenger depots, arrangements
for waterworks, etc. The ladies are
to seed the park to grass, and all the
plans for beautifying it are to be car
ried out as originally planned. The
funds which we're collected by the la
dies when themovement was frstin inaug-
urated will be used in addition to the
expense 70 be borne by the company.
At q meeting held in the CONNER
cial Club rooms last Friday evening,
which was jointly attended by the
Committee on Parks and Public I'm
provements and the county commits
sioners, the matter of making needed
improvements on the court house
grounds was laid before the latter
body. It was recommended that the
grounds be properly graded and put
in such shape that the place would be
q credit not only to the county but al
so to the city. The expense would be
comparatively small to the county,
and it was suggested that the Won.
an g Improvement League would take
it upon themselves to attend to the
beautifying of the grounds after the
preliminary work had been done by
the county.
Now that the Carnegie library build
ing is to be erected on the Rodlun site
directly opposite the court house prop
erty, 1t Is the general opinion that the
above plan would be very favorable
one. The commissioners have taken
the matter under consideration and
will probably report at their next
meeting, to be held April 13.

WOULD GO A-CUNNjNc
albert Larson is Wanted to Answer to
Charge Of Stealing a Gun From
His Rooms msmate.

Albert Larson is much wanted
man, and if all the charges that are
made against him can be proven he
will stand convicted of several misde-
meanors, Larson is an Individual
who has made his headquarters for
some time, aud of late has been one
OF the guests at the Glarum hotel.
Last Saturday q warrant was sworn
out against him before Judge Otter
ness by his roommate, Willie Sand
gren, charging him with the theft of a
gun valued at SIS, but the fellow had
skipped out before the warrant could
be served upon him. Sheriff Lund-
quist left for the cities Monday morn
ing, expecting to find his man, but
after a diligent search returned Ia st
evening without him. Larson had
taken the train, for Minneapolis as
soon as he had found that things we're
decidedly unfavorable for him here.
The search for him is still on and the
sheriff expects to land his man yet.
Sandgren, who has been in Ameri.
ca but q short time, had been taken
advantage of by his roommate or
several occasions. At one time it is
| claimed that he had loaned Larson
$3.50, which the latter had forgotten
to return. When confronted with
the charge that the gun was found
missing from the room. Larson
claimed that he had pawned it at the
Downs livery barn as payment for 8
livery rig. When the owner made &
search for it, it was found that Lar
sons story did not hold good.
Larson's departure from the cit,
was so sudden that he forgot to pay {
board bill at the Glarum hote
amounting to something like Sc. 90
Several stunts that he did about tn,
city are not to his credit, ACCORDING
to those who knew him. Larson i.

HEAVY DAMAGE SUITS
Sixty Thousand Dollars Is Demanded
Of the Great Northern for In
juries Sustained by Accidents.


Two heavy damage suits have been
brought against the Great Northern
Railway company by former engi-
neer and fireman, injured, as they
complain, in collision which oc-
cured at Barnesville last January.
The engineer is Walter G. Hudson,
who demands damages of $35, 900 and
the fireman is George Weppler, who
sues for damages of $4,000.
Hudson complains of the bre aking
and crushing of his right leg, and the
crushing and mangling of his left leg,
and the amputat:on of the left leg
near the knee. He is, he says, 26
years old, and was at the time earn
ing $120 month.
The fireman complains of the break
ing and crushing OF his right foot and
ankle, so that they were amputated.
He is 21 years old and earned $50 q,
month.
Each tells the same story of the &C.
cident. They had coupled their en-
gines to newly arrived freight train
and were backing the train upon =
siding when q passenger train came
running into the yard at a high speed
and was in collision with them head
on.
They allege carelessness in the run
ming OF the passenger train and say
that it's speed through the yard was
thirty-ive miles an hour, when il
should not have been above four
an hour.I
