The depot at Milan which is joint
ly used by the Rock Island and Peoria
branch of the Rock Island railway and
Rock Island Southern, was com
pletely destroyed by fire yesterday af-
ternoon at $3.50. Damages are esti-
mated at $4,000.
The fire is supposed to have started
from the sparks from an engine, as it
was destroyed shortly after the Sher-
rard train had gone through the town.
The blaze sprung up in the shingles
on the west side of the building and
the high wind soon famed the flames
so fiercely that the volunteer depart
ment which responded at once, could
not cope with it and soon the struc-
ture was burned to the ground.
Hard Fire to Fight.
Important papers including freight
bills, money in the safe and a few
things in the depot were saved. but
the rest of the contents and all of the
freight shipments-Were destroyed. Be
cause of the fierce wind which blew
from the west, sparks were scattered
to nearby homes and several roofs
caught fire but they were extinguished
without any trouble.

reasons for rejoicing here at the en-
trance Of Rumania into the war on the

is now King Ferdinand, Queen Marie
was the beautiful and popular daugh-
ter of the late King Edwards eldest
brother. the late duke of Edinburgh.
She is still regarded as beautiful, and
indeed with her husband and two boys
and four girls is frequently spoken of
as constituting the best looking royal
family in Europe, as well as the most

Queen Marie is beloved throughout
her country for her generosity and
constant efforts in behalf of the poor.
She is the leading spirit of the Society
Of GOddesses of Rumania. each goddess
acting as fairy godmother to at least
one poor child. The queen has an odd
hobby in the collection of scent bottles,
Of which she had more than 5000.
When aboard her fathers flagship at
Malta Rumanias future queen became
a great favOrite with officers and sail
ors. She had great love of helping
the ships cook with his duties. On
one occasion she fried so eggs and
slices of ham and had them distributed
