ice had been BIC

the ice had been broken
for several feet square. On
account of darkness nothing more could
be found, but this morning a large
stick which the boy had carried was
found near the open place, and around
it were numerous tracks of the dog,
who, it is supposed, ran back and forth
in frantic attempt to assist his young
master. A boat was launched this
morning and the ice is being broken
down the stream in search for the body
of the unfortunate boy, which up TO
the present has not been found.
The boys older brother crossed the
river below the scene of the drowning
in the afternoon and noticed the break
in the ice, but supposing it to be an
air hole paid no more attention to the
matter.
Below this point in the river is a
somewhat shallow place and it is ex
pected by those in search that the body
viii be found there lodged between the
ice and the river bottom.

found this forenoon about fifteen fee
from the place of falling in. He hat
broken the ice to within eight feet o
the shore and then became exhauste'
and chilled and was compelled to sue

The funeral services will be held to
morrow forenoon at the residence an
the remains will be inferred in tn

THE New York Tribune forcibly re-
marks that the controversy between
protection and free trade is mainly OF
wages. 1t is strictly true. Free trade
means low wages for working men:
protection means good wages and pros
perity for them. Free trade is the
British, protection the American sys.
tenn. The retired rich generally, and
plantation owners in the solid south
want low wages and will vote for free
trade. Vigorous and prosperous men
who know that poorly paid labor can
not help trade, will vote with working
men for protection and good wages.

CONGRESSMAN RYAN has introduced
bill of the greatest Importance to
Kansas and one to which every citizen
of this state should lend his moral sup
port. Mr.. Ryan's bill is to amend the
interstate commerce law so as to pro-
hibit the bringing into state of any
article of commerce, the manufacture
or sale of which is prohibited within
the state. The manner in which liq-
our is shipped into Kansas by express
companies calls loudly for some meas
ure of prevention. During the recent
holidays thousands of packages of
whisky and beer were brought into
Kansas by the express companies. and
so much drunkenness has not been seen
on the streets of Kansas towns and
cities for years. The express compa-
MES have become very bold in carrying
on the liquor traffic because they have
not been punished. They had better
take warning in time. The prohibition
sentiment in Kansas is more powerful
than it ever was, and it will grind the
last vestage of the liquor traffic to pow
der. Congressman Ryan's bill ought
to pass.-State Journal.

IT appears that some of the absurd
limitations and paralyZing professional
etiquette that have so long hampered
the practice of medicine are to be torn
away by the ruthless hand of the law.
A certain doctor having built up large
practice in Chicago by dint of extensive
advertising in the newspapers sudden
~ found himself debarred from prac-
tice on account of the revocation of his
license by the state board of health.
No charge of incompetence or "quack-
cry was brought against him. His
method of attracting public at
tention was the sole charge
brought against him. The
physician naturally sought and
secured redress in the courts. The
Judge yesterday, in deciding upon the
case, affirmed the right of the prac-
titioner to advertise in the newspapers
and denounced the effort of the Off
cious board as a star chamber proceed
ing intolerable in free country and
unconstitutional. The enterprising
physician will, therefore, resume his
advertising and his practice will thrive
while his antediluvian brother prac
titioners may possibly awake from
their lethargy long enough to discover
that the world does move.-k. G. News

CARNIVAL SUPREME.
The SANITY City Surrendered to
the Ice King and a Reign Of
Gaiety Inaugurated.
Enthusiastic Welcome to His Frosty
Acknowledgements Parades and
Brilliant Nominations.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 25.-The ice carnival
season was inaugurated Wednesday by
the arrival of His Most Gracious Majesty
Durant Borealis Rex. His majesty was
attended by all his court in the most gor-
geous of ice chariots drawn by white
horses comparisoned in snow white har-
nesses. He was met by his
loyal subjects and escorted with great
pomp to his frosty palace in Central
park. A squad of light mounted police,
under command of Sergeant Budy, made
a gallant vanguard for his majesty. Fol-
lowing closely after, and at the head Of
his picturesque army, Commander Bean
rode in solitary state. The st. Georges,
followed, escorting visiting organiza-
items. The second division was composed
of carnival clubs of the city. The third
division comprised King Borealis, his
retinus and escort,ss the Seven Corners
Snowshoe club acting as guard of honor.
The fourth, fifth aud sixth divisions fol-
lowing were composed of city clubs.
All along the line of march the streets
were densely packed with spectators
many thousands being present from every
part or the country. Every window COM
handing q view of the parade was taken
advantage of, and many pretty figure
in toboggan cloak and toque could be
seen peering eagerly at the novel pro-
cession. "
The procession marched to the grounds.
AS the entrance was reached King Bore
ais dismounted, and ascending the stand
there built reviewed his forces as they
filed past him.
Speeches of welcome were made and re-
sponded to and the pleasure-seekers then
dispersed themselves over the grounds
and explored the ice palace.
In the evening Third, Jackson, Sew
enth and other streets were handsomely
illuminated with colored lights. The
walks were filed to late hour with prom
enaders in every variety of costume,
making a merry and enjoyable scene.

THE GRANDEST DAY.

Brilliant Scenes at the Storming of the
Ice Palace by the Fire King.
ST. PAUL, Jan. 27.-This is the third
day of the carnival, and it was marked
by several important events. The inter-
national snowshoe races occurred in the
afternoon, and there was lively compe-
tition. But the grandest and most
attractive event was the storm
ing of the Ice Palace by
the Fire King and his forces.
His fiery majesty joined his forces at
Seven corners and marched over the
usual route to the palace. Each mar
carried blazing torch, and when the
word was given the Fire King, clad in
his robes of fame mounted his fiery char
lot drawn by four equally fiery steeds
and escorted by an army of little red
devils and his glittering followers, set
forth to give the Ice King roasting.
The parade was by far the largest that
has SO far been held. On reaching the
palace the forces were placed in strategic
position and the storming began, For
over half an hour the 1000 or more
spectators were treated to probably the
finest display of pyrotechnics they ever
witnessed. The crush at the depot of
people from outside towns anxious to get
home after the storming was something
fearful. Extra trains We're running till
well into the morning.

Two Hundred Miners Imprisoned by
an Explosion and Ninety Of
Them Sufocated

VICTORIA, B. c., Jan. va. The first in.
telligenee received here of the terrible
accidental the Nanimo coal mines was a
brief telegram yesterday morning to the
manager of the mines, who is living here,
to the effect that an explosion had oc-
Cured pit No. 8, near Wellington.
Several people have arrived from the
mine and give the particulars. The first
explosion sounded like distant thunder to
those near the pit. Instantly mass Of
dust and inky black smoke shot into the
air from, the mouth of the pit, and peo-
pie in the vicinity knew instantly what
had happened, and rush was made for
the mouth of the pit, as it was known a
large number of men were working in
the mine. To their horror it was found
that the cage would not work, the explo-
sion having injured the ma chinery.
Ropes were procured and the work Of
:aising the men singly began. 1Jz- ,:f.i
Carpenters set to work, and in the
course of an hour or so temporary cage
was lowered, and ninety seven men were
and sent to the top. Meantime the cage
was SO fixed as to reach the bottom,
and the work of rescue went on.
Twenty of those still in the mine
were found, several being dead and 9TH
ers in such bad condition it is feared
they viii not survive. Some of the young
wives, with children, are frantic with
grief; standing or sitting, worn out by
watching around the mouth of the fatal
shaft. Occasionally, when body is
brought up and recognized q heartrend-
ing scene is enacted. Others, dazed with
watching and fountains Of tears, are ST.
lently watching the cage ascend from the
depths below, where their dear ones are
entombed. A large gang of men are now
down the shaft trying to rescue the min
ers or recover their bodies. -.-,...-:. -:
1t is now believed that nearly ninety
lives were lost in the explosion. The
bodies of twenty white miners have been
taken from the mine, and there are
about seventy more men still in the mine,
and there is no reason for believing that
any of them are alive.

Regulations Contemplated.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The sub-com-
mittee of the house committee on public
lands held another meeting to consider
the subject of general land bill to
take the place of the existing laws.
The classification has been slightly
changed. The desert land law will
be modified, but allowed to remain
on the statute books.
The classification as it now stands will
be timber, mineral, desert, reserve
and agricultural lands. 1t is quite
likely that the timber culture and pre-
emption privileges will be done away
with, and the homestead law modified so
as to allow shorter residence with a
cash period, but without longer period
than the present six months communication

a rapid method of soldering telegraph
wires has recently been introduced and Is
now to be generally adopted in Russia.
Its principal advantage consists in the
saving of time required for the work and
in the avoidance of any s'scraping,"
which would to some extent reduce the
strength Of the wire. The two ends Of
the wire, already embraced By binding

The interesting fact Is stated that 50 IN
destructible by wear or decay Is the Afri-
can teakweod that vessels built Of It have
lasted 100 years, to be then only broken
up because Of their poor sailing qualities
from faulty models. The wood, in fact, is
one Of the most remarkable known, on
account of its very great weight, hardness
and durability, its weight varying from
forty-two to f1fty-two pounds per cubic
foot; it works easily, but on account Of
the large quantity of slick contained IN II
the tools employed are quickly worn away.
It also contains an oil which prevents
spikes and other iron work with which 1t
