HOT SAUERKRAUT,
Car Of Potatoes and Cabbage Burns on
Track Last Night. $3.50.

Car OF Potatoes and Cabbage Burns on
Track Last Night. e
A Burlington refrigerator car which
was about loaded with potatoes and
cabbages caught fire about 11:3O last
night, and was Quilted by the flames.
The, fire was not discovered until mid
night but about all the potatoes were
saved. Two tons of cabbage were
burned and destroyed by being water
soaked and frozen.
+: An alarm was turned in but no hose
or fire apparatus reached the grounds
until twenty minutes after the whistle
blew, and then when the boys came
down from the hydrant at the Rines
corner, they were few feet short of
reaching the burning car with the
water. In the meantime the boys kept
the flames in check with the small hose
from the depot and the car was saved
from being total loss.
The car was being loaded by Gus
Lind for Minneapolis. AS the hose
cart was being pulled to the fire it
tipped over at the Citizens bank cor
ner and was badly smashed up, so
that in it's present condition it will not
cut much figure in the, list of village
assets.

THE GREAT WEST.
walter Wellman Tells of His Impressions
of the Great Fmniro

Walter Wellman Tells of His Impressions
of the Great Empire.
Walter Wellman, the famous cor
respondent of the Chicago Record
Herald, has written his paper some
impressions he received while on re-
cent trip through the west. He says:
1.-The most noticeable of all condi-
tions at the present time in the great
west is the almost undiminished con-
tinuance of the high tide of prosperity.
Broadly speaking, there has been no
falling off in the volume of business.
The farmers have more money than
ever before. The employed people are
all at work for good wages, and rail-
road earnings throughout the west
average higher than year ago at
this time by from five to twelve per
cent, though many good judges
thought last years volume of traffic
up to the highest possible mark.
1.-The amount of money which the
people of the west have on hand rep
resenting their surplus, their savings,
their accumulations through these re-
cent years of unexampled prosperity
are simply amazing. In purely agri-
cultural counties the bankers tell me
they do not know what to do with the
money that is offered them for deposit
In many instances they have been COM
PEELED to refuse further deposits be-
cause of the difficulty of using the
money proftably
1t is surprising to be told that in
an average western county of perhaps
$4,000 population, embracing prob
ably $500 farms, the aggregate sums
on deposit in the local banks reach as
high as $1,000: 900 or $4,000, 900, or an
average of approximately $1,000 a
farm.
Gas no one individual has very
large deposits, it follows that the ac-
cumulations are we'll distributed.
''What is true of the agricultural
counties is true also of the cities and
towns in which there are manufacture
ing and commercial interests. In
fact, money is abundant everywhere
and all classes of people have shared
IN the prosperity. Millions of dollars
OF money representing the savings OF
western farmers and mechanics have
been sent to New York for use in rail
way and industrial enterprises. The
west is lending to the east.''

COMMISSIONERS MEET.
County Commissioners Hold First Meet
Ing of the New Year.

The board of county commissioners
met an annual session at the court
house Monday and proceeded to bust
ness by the election of Commissioner
Norton as chairman, and Commits
sioner Peterson as vice chairman.
The petition for school at Page
was granted and the board took up
the matter of the division of the
school smonies in the district at Law
renee that has been divided.
Much of the time of the board was
taken Up yesterday in looking over the
plats2 and profile of the Greenbush
ditch which was made by Dick Chap
mans and the character of the work
done by him was frst-class and worthy
of praise. His plat shows the Little
Rice4lake and the land by forties ad-
joining. and between the lake and the
river. There are two bitches, one to
drain the Battle Brook marsh west of
the lake into a small lake just north
VI GAtS AdI 90 1dhS, Willie t16 Quiet UlGCll
runs from the smaller lake to the West
Branch of Rum river. The profile
shows the deepest cut to be nine and
thirty seventh one. hundredths feet
which is on the oak ridge near the
starting point of the main ditch. Ac-
cofding. to Mr.. Chapman's estimate
there will be 10, 1623.3S cubic yards
Of eaHth to move at a cost of ten to
fiftee5i cents per yard. The total cost
|of the. ditch is estimated at So, Oil. 10 70.
The cost of making the surveys and
plats and profile amounts to S1O5.O4.
The board appointed Albert More
house Of Foreston, r. A. Shaw of
Greenbush and C.. II. ChadbOurne of
Princeton as a board of review.
The petition of Mamie Satterlee to
be set off from school district II to
district rs was granted. The hoard
has not designated the county ply
stefan as yet but will do so to-day.

Oil In GlendOrad0.

1t is rumored that there are indica-
tions of natural oil in the northeast
ern part of Glendorado township in
Benton county, and there is an expert
Oil man from Indiana on the ground
at the present time looking over the
prospects. If paying Oil wells should
be developed in that section of country
something might be doing just west of
Princeton.

Moved the Town Hall.

The town hall of Baldwin that for
some time has stood on a low piece
OF ground and all last summer was
surrounded by water, has been moved
to higher ground about forty rods
further west. The members of the
town board and those who had bust
ness before the board were obliged to
take the ferry several times in Or
der to reach the town hall. 1t was
deemed advisable to move the build
ing to high place as it was feared
that some time some member of the

American magazine in which he gave
an interesting account of Boyn's
StranOe history

American magazine IN which ne gave
an interesting account of Boyn's
strange history.
The man whom the St. James Ca
zette writer says is one of the most
interesting pretenders, lives short
distance north of Princeton and is
we'll known to all the old settlers here.
John Boyn, Notwithstanding his veins
contain royal Servian blood, is not
worrying over the blood-stained
throne of Servia where according to
all accounts his grandfather, when a
mere child was saved during an in
vasion by the Turks, by being carried
by his nurse into field and hidden,
he being the only member of the
family to escape. The little child was
taken to Saxony where it was brought
up and in time married and raised a
family. August (John's father) being
the only son. It appears that the
Turks wiped out the royal family that
the Boyn's descended from and Johns
grandfather. preferred to remain in
peace in Saxony, rather than try sit
ting on the popping throne of his ma
tive country.
The nurse that rescued the grand
father also carried with her the family
bible and records and when the child
grew up he received the family record
which in time went to August who kept
it inviolate and when he returned to
Servia he took the bible with him, but
the book and all records were lost, as
they disappeared when Boyn died in
Belgrade. The family received an old
leather book and few worthless per-
sonal effects of Boyn's after he died,
but all records which proved his royal
parentage, mysteriously disappeared.
John BOyn says his father talked
considerably about his crown rights
and property in Servia and states that
his father guided by the records went
to the site of the castle where his
father lived when child and he found
a lot of valuable treasures. In the
fall he went to his old birth place in
Saxony and returned in the spring to
further search for family treasure, but
he was taken i'll and died suddenly.
A picture was taken of him after the
body was prepared for burial and is
now in possession of the family.
Hon. .Cheddo Mijatovich, a repre-
sentative of the Servian government
who resides in London, and who is
perhaps the party who furnished the
St. James Gazette with the item about
John Boyn, says he was present at the
deathbed Of August -Boyn and that
the papers Boyn had with him when
he went to Servia contained evidence
that he was a descendant from the old
reigning house in Servia which was
overthrow by the Turks in 1850. All
the treasure and wealth of Car Lazar
who was ruler at that time disappeared
and has never been found. Mijato-
vich considers John Boyn the rightful
heir to the property, as according to
Servian law it would fall to Mr.. Boyn,
who however says from what he has
heard of things in high and royal
places in that country, he will still
continue to raise potatoes and kill
wolves in Minnesota. He thinks there
is better chance of becoming po-
tato king than: a Seryian king.
