Ancient Legend Of the Lost Dutch
Town Of stavorsn.

Ancient Legend OF the Lost Dutch
Town Of stavorsn.
Along the shores Of the German
ocean, as In other parts Of the world,
there are legends Of great and popu.
lous cities swallowed up BY the sea
Sometimes these legends are based
upon facts. and occasionally not. a
writer In the Scientific American says
THE most striking OF all the legends
is that dealing with the lost Dutch
town of Stavoren. at the entrance OF
the Zuyder Zee. Here there lived q
rich and powerful lady, whose pride,
cruelty and %selfishness aroused the
anger OF heaven and caused the wicked
and misguided city to sink beneath the
waves. a small portion OF the city
(where the good people lived was
saved, and It's name still cleayes tc
the small town Of Stavoren. It is an
fndisputable fact that in the thirteenth
century Stavoren was a wealthy and
powerful commercial city. However.
due partly to the ports becoming
choked with sand and partly to the
Eruption Of the Zuyder Zee in 1877,
it rapidly lost its Importance, and at
the present time what is left or 1t at
fords shelter to only about 800 souls.
The roofs and spires of the now sub.
marine buildings can, it is said, be

is clear, while silent listeners on
Christmas eve will hear the distant
and mufled tone of church bells aris.
ing from the depths, only to break in
bubbles and ripples on the surface Of
the Zuyder Zee.
Disaster befell the small hamlet OF
Tiefengruben about thirty years ago.
This was a pretty little village situated
near Kranichfeld, in Thuringia, Ger
many. In the center there was al
small innocent looking pond, upon
which the good people used to keep
their ducks and other water loving
fowl. One stormy day. why and where.
fore heaven only knows, the village
went down, and it's place was taken by
y ldISe lake, WHICH sui marKS the
site of the i'll fated village. The be-
nighted peasant returning home after
q hard days work Telling timber in
the forest surrounding Kranichfeld
often sees uncanny looking lights fit
ting about over the marshy ground
and mutters' a prayer for the rest OF
the troubled spirits who. he thinks,
are hunting for their lost home. These
lights are merely ignited marsh gases,

Many other towns have disappear.
ed. due to landslides. avalanches and
the like. which have hurled them into

say that huge devilfish live in these
lakes, and 1t is their movements which
cause the towns to slip down and hurl

HOW ABOUT THE STANDS?

To the editor of The Republican, Sir Is there an ordinance on the city books prohibiting the placing of boot black stands on the city sidewalks, also fruiI stands for the purpose of selling fruits? l was informed by the city authorities a few days ago, that there was such an ordinance, and on these grounds was refused permission to construct a fruit stand for my use. Either I was misinformed, or the ordi- nance is now being violated. I refer to the fruit stand on Center street in front of the Hotel Adams and also one on 1st Ave. and Washington St. in front Of the o. T. saloon: also to a number of boot black stands on the sidewalks of the city. Is it all right for a chosen few to have the privelege of drawing revenue from the city side walks while others have no right to do so?
 Respectfully
 CHAS. J. SANICHAS.
