The news thata practical test is being
made of the reservoir system Of the
upper Mississippi is an announcement
Of more than passing interest. This
system has been the subject Of consid-
cradle dispute for years, and approprI-
atoms for the construction Of the sew
eral dams have been secured by
Congress with difficulty, only By per-
sistence and hard ::work. Only por-
ton Of tie dams contemplated are
finished, but in these the waters Of
tee spring and summer rains have been
stored to provide against the season of
low..water. The season is now upon
us. Accordingly the dams at Winnie
bagoshish and OTTER points above
Grand Rapids were open early Tues
day morning. The almost immediate
result was rise of five feet in the
Mississippi at Grand Rapids and later
Of two feet at Brainerd. The rise
came down stream with the velocity
of the rivers current.-Brainerd Trib-

A Curious Electric Freak.

Chicago Journal. q. .....
Quite curious freak of an elec.
trio character occurred in the tele-
graph department of this Office the
other dag. A package of lead
pencils bonnd with q paper band,
were lying between the telegraph
keys. All at once the telegrapher
noticed Il small spark coming from
this paper band. The sight was
a novel one to him and he called
i'll another member OF the staff to
it. They watched it for a minute
or two and satisfied themselves
that if left as was it would soon
cause a blaze, and the package
was removed. This goes to show
how 4 fire might possibly occur
and it's origin never he explained.

How to Put Baby to Sleep.


A woman with a wakefnl babe
writes: fused all my arts Of sooth-
ing and persuading, but there he
sat and laughed and cooed, and
watched the lights and the shadows
until IL o'clock came and went
and II was just at hand. Some.
thing must be done, and I coul'l
think of nothing unless, possibly.
a wet cloth on the head might
have q soothing effect; at least, it
would do no harm to try. l took
a piece of Canton flannel large
enough when doubled to cover the
whole head, and wrung it rather
dry out Of warm water, then: put
it closely over the baby's head 50
as to cover both ears and eyes.
The effect was wonderful. There
was brief struggle, then perfect
quiet. and in less than five miputex
the little fellow was sound asleep,
Since then 1 have tried it again
and again, and always with the
same quick result. 1t is simple
for sleep!essDess and we'll
worth knowing and trying.

the children only too faithfully
reproduced in their lives the models

or ridicule; the neighbors were
subjected to every species Of crit.

TRUTH OR FICTION /!

About three weeks ago some one told
US what we considered at the time to be
a Geek and bull story about an Indian
having mysteriously appeared west Of
the river, and having taken one of the
citizens of the neighborhood to a GER
tain point near the river, on Mrs.
Briggs farm. and there eXcavated a
pot of gold. Being little pushed fol
locals We wrote the thing up under the
title of "Truth or Fiction ?" adding
a lot of fanciful details and having no
idea at the time that the story had
even a grain of truth in it. 1t now APP.
pears, however, that our account was
substantially correct. 1t seems that
Mr.. WI .Lootz, "a resident of that neigh
borhood and well known as an en-.
tirely reliable man, was the white man
concerned. and it was from his own
lips that we this week heard the story
substantially as We at first gave it.

ago a Cherokee Indian came into his
neighbOrhood and camped near his
house. After he had been there two
or three days he came to the house
to buy some hay. MIR. l.. asked hin
