For u city Of its population, Wheeling
is now we'll supplied with street railway
facilities. A Martins Ferry man can
take car at the ferry landing in North

OMAHA, NEE, March l6.-The Mis-,
souri, river is Just now full OF floating ice
the result OF the recent cold snap, and an
immense ice gorge has formed in the big
bend, in north easterly direction from
the Smelling works, causing the stream to
rise at that point, and overflow the bot.
tom on the Iowa side for over n quarter
OF mile. The water pours down over
the Iowa banks into the main channels
forming series of falls from four to six
leetin height and over two hundred in
number, At one place the falls are from
forty to eighty feet wide and about six
feet high. This cut of is what has been
expected for several years; its having
been mn undisputed fact that it must
come sooner or later. 1t has long been
thought that the Missouri would make
this cut of and thus form new channel
where this great body Of water is now
rushing. 1t may be that the gorge will
make permanent cut and thus allow
the water to resume its old course. The
hard frozen ground may also, prevent n
new channel from being made.
