mnL INHERIT FORTUNE
From Kitchen Girl to Heiress
is Romantic Rise of Sophia
Flick, German Girl of
Eagle River.

The departure of Miss Sophia
rIeck for Oshkosh last week
brought to light the good for
time which has recently bcfallen
her in a manner that is generally
accorded to be fictitious and
found only in the modern novel.
Rnt the romantic rise of Sophia
FIeck from common kitchen girl
n heiress with an estate and
money awaiting her in Germany
< as IDEAL as was ever the hero
ines path in the story.
When Miss Fleck left Germany
not very many years ago little
did she dream that her return to
tbe Fatherland would be to
claim a fortune of proportions
such as to give her social promin-
ence in her native land. Yet in a
few months Sophie, the kitchen
girI at the Hotel Commercial in
Eagle River, will. be Fraulien
Fleck of Mecklenburg, Germany,
an heiress who cancommand the
distinction attendant upon such
wealth. The estate includes a
stretch of farming land i'll the
richest agricultural section of
Germany and some valuable
CITY property, all bringing in a
handsome income.
No more will Sophie cater to
the tastes of the patronage of
the Hotel Commercial. Instead
she will be enjoying the life Of a
lady of means; with fond memo
ries of America and her friends in
Eagle River and the intention of
returning in a few years.

cup1es the chief attention of the
county board, FIVE members of
which constitute the county
highway committee. At the fire.
quent meetings of the board
other current business is ofcourse
transacted but the highway and
bridge construction for which
the county bonded itself to the
amount of 100000, takes the
most time and hundreds of pages
OF typewriter descriptions, ap-
pllcatlons and contracts in the
county records show the extent
OF the endeavors of the highway
committee. At every meeting,
and there have been MANY the
last year, voluminous reports
have been entered into the rec
ords and to the man unfamiliar
with the description of property
the chances are his knowledge of
Villas county's highway system
would not be improved by per-
usal. of the board proceedings.
But it accomplishes it's purpose
and the road work still goes on.
Work has commenced on the
Conover-State Line road this
week. For few weeks prior to
this time the Hennepin Bridge
Co. has been building a bridge
across the Wisconsin river about
two miles above Rummeles on
this route. This bridge will cost
about $4,000.

BEAN CROP VERY FAIR
The New Experiment of
Cultivation of the Boston
ian Delicacy Turns Out in
Good Yield.

Last wear this sheet promised
its readers a full account OF the
bean venture of certain tIllers OF
soil in this locality and now with
the harvesting season over, the
results of the bean crop show up
in fair Weld. The season. was.
very poor consequently the crop
did not come up to the expecta-
tations of the growers but it
was only an experimental issue
and the results attained satisfy
them.
About a dozen acres in all
were planted to beans by Eaton,
Morgan and Radcliffe. Eaton
planted the Indian variety but
Morgan and Radcliffe put their
acreage to the common navy
bean of the hairless Boston bak-
ed variety. The yield, IN
such an adverse season, is one
that proves that the bean crop
can be pro6tably grown in this
part of the state, and when IN
future years it is one of the chief
crops men. will. look back with
pride on Eaton. Morgan and
Radcliffe, the pioneers in the ven
ture to make this section famous
through the merits of the little
bean. Bang!

AWAIT T. RS SPEECH.
At Ohio Constitutional Convention
Colonel Will Sound Keynote.

New York, Feb. 15.-The platform
upon which Theodore Roosevelt will
stand for reelection, if he is the preSi-
dental choice of the Republican ma
donal convention at Chicago. was out.
lined at a conference in which Colonel
Roosevelt, Governor Hiram w. John
son of California. ex-senator Finn of
Pittsburgh, William Il. Nelson of the
Kansas City Star and f. A. Van Val
kenburg of the Philadelphia North
American took part.
The conferees edited the speech
which Colonel Roosevelt will make be-
fore the Ohio constitutional convention
on Feb. 21, and in which he will make
n declaration of his progressive policies.
IT is just possible that Colonel Roose-
welt may fire the opening gun of the
"progressives according to Roosevelt"
campaign in the letter in which he will
reply to the demand of the conference
of progressive governors held last Sat
urday in Chicago for more light to
guide them upon their way, but from
what those who talked with Colonel
Roosevelt said it seems probable that
the letter to the governors will not be
made public until after the Columbus
