The Iron Mountain road continues to
run its passenger trains from the Union
Depot clear to the. other end of the line.

present rise in the rivers will not interrupt

Farmers in the "cycl9ne' states of the
west are building themselves "cyclone
pits" large enough to accommodate whole
family. The pit is made about twenty feet
deep, with all opening about ten feet
square. Heavy timbers are placed over
tue top, about four feet below the surface,
and it is then covered over with earth,
which is so0mthei down even with the
rest. An opening three feet square is left
in the southwestern section.

Of another similar olfense, in which be
used tie name Of Mr.. n. yesterday with
like purpose. Lawrence Is pensjoner OF

draw for han. But few days ago he
made out an order for S6j, signed it with
Mr. L s'erdsy's name and presented It to
Mr. r. Jones for payment. Mr. Jones ad-
