WHEN NIAGARA RAN DRY.


A Remarkable Scene During the Early
Spring Of 1s4s.
II seems almost incredible that at ono
time in its history the greatest and most
wonderful waterfall in the world actually
ran dry. Nevertheless, it is an established
fact that this occurred on March 20, 1S4S.
and for q few hours scarcely any water
passed over Niagara Falls. The
winter of that year had been an
exceptionally severe one, and Ice
Of unusual thickness had formed on Lake
Erie. The warm spring rains loosened
this CONCEALED mass, and on the day In
Question q brisk east wind drove the ice
far ND into the lakes. About sunset the
wind suddenly veered round and blew q
heavy gale from the west. This naturally
turned the ice in its course, and, bringing
IL down to the mouth Of the Niagara
river. piled it up in solid, impenetrabls
mass. So closely was it packed and 81
great was its force that In short time
the outlet to the lake was completely
choked up, and little or no water coult
possibly escape. In very shor
space of time the water below
this frozen barrier passed over tn
falls, and the next morning the PEG
ple residing in the neighborhood wer
treated to q most extraordinary spectacle
The roaring, tumbling rapids above tn
falls were almost obliterated, and nothing
/ but the cold black rocks were visible Il
all directions. The news quickly spread
and crowds Of spectators nocked to vie'
the scene, the banks on each side Of th
river being lined with people during tn
whole day. At last there came brea
in the ice; 1t was released from its r.
straint; the pent-up water rushed dow
ward. and Niagara was itself again

The laws of health are taught in
our schools; but not in a way to be of
much practical benefit and are never
illustrated by living examples, which
in many cases could be done. If some
scholar who had just contracted a
cold was brought before the school,,
so that all could hear the dry. loud
cough and know it's significance: see
the thin white coating on the tongue
and later, as the cold developes, see
the profuse watery expectoration and
thin watery discharge from the nose,
not one of them would eyer forget
what the first symptoms of cold
we're. The scholar should then be
given Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
freely, that all might see that even a
a severe cold could be cured in one
or two days, or at least greatly miti-
gated, when properly treated as soon
as the first symptoms appear. For

From our Washington correspond
ent: The Presidents message was re-
ceived on 9th inst. with the usual at
tention in both branches of congress.
The senators, perhaps, gave more
heed to the reading by the clerk than
did the house. That part of the doc
ument which characterized the meth
cd of selecting presidential electors
inaugurated by the legislature of
Michigan as an unfortunate and even
threatening episode; the sugges-
tions that the mode of choosing elect
ors should be made more uniform by
constitutional amendment, and that
means should be taken to eliminate
gerrymandering, and the Presidents
views on free coinage received the
closest attention..
The election of Chas. F. Crisp to
the speakership of the house of rep
resentatives is significant in at least
two particulars. First, in showing
the change which has come over the
country within the last few years.
Let some one of the earnest Republi-
cans aimagine what their feelings
would have been twenty years ago
that the day would come when an ex-
Confederate soldier would sit in the
chair occupied by Schuyler Colfax.
Yet that day has come and they are
here to see it and the fact that the
successful Crisp so served in the Con-
federate army does not excite even
ripple on the quiet surface of their
most excited, intense feelings. Truly
the times have changed and we have
changed with them. But this is a
forward movement in the right di-
rection. No one is so foolish as to
deprecate it. The country is getting
together and even Confederate sold
iers can be good American citizens.
The second significant feature found
n.his election is this, that Mills, his
principal opponent, the possessor of

Duluth Correspondence.

DULUTH, Dec. 1.-THE business sit
uation of the whole country is said to
be constantly improving. Itcertalnly
is so in the Northwest if the rest of
this section is is be judged by the sit
uation of Duluth: There never vas a
more healthy tone here. The big
wheat crop of Minnesota and tho two
Dakotas gave the first big boom to
level business. That was felt mainly
by members of the Board of Trade
and elevator companies. The trans
portation companies also came in for
their share. Large amounts Of the
money received for wheat was dis
bursed among the laborers employed
by them, and much of it at once came
into circulation. Then came the good
demand from the west for coal, lum-
Der and merchandise and Duluth mer-
chants and manufacturers wee given
about all they could do. The steady
gain in BUSINESS extended to nearly
all lines. With enough street work
and building to employ all the labor
here the city has been fortunate.
Lately the supply of money from the
East, and West too for that matter,
grew easy and no better situation of
affairs have been known here. For
the winter the outlook is peculiarly
good. With the extension of the lum-
Der trade with the East and the COM
petition of the several new mills there
is greater activity among loggers
and mill men than at any other prev
ious time. This winters log cut for
Duluth mills and those near by will
run up to 35O,OOO,OOO feet, or so per
cent more than last year. The open
ing of the new blast furnace and the
big business of the Duluth Manufac-
turing Company has added not lit
tie to the business activity here. All
manufacturers are busy and prosper
GUS. Another important fact is the
large amount of work in the develop
ments in Duluth's iron territory. This
is employing great numbers of men
and great amount of capital. Du-
luth business men look forward to the
best year they have ever known in
1892 and the rest of the Northwest
will be in the same situation.
The Duluth & Winnipeg has begun
it's preliminary work for the building
of the branch to the Mesaba mines
near LaPrairie. This branch will be
about ten miles long.
Wheat receipts here last week we're
1,315,738 bu. against 613,151 bu. for
the corresponding week last year, or
a gain of lis per cent. Shipments
were 1,182,874 bu. against 1900 bu.
for last year. There are now here
3,380,OOO bu. Duluth -four mills last
week turned out 1858 bbls. of -four.

We have received a circular from
Gov. Merriam, calling the attention OF
the people of Minnesota to the pitiful
condition of the sick and dying Rus
sian peasantry and appealing to the
generosity of our people to contribute
for their relief. Surely We should not
be backward in contributing to so
worthy a cause. The governor says:
Il have designated as committee
to receive contributions of flour, rye,
wheat and other breadstuffs, Msesrs.
VIC. Edgar and Charles Mace. Reeve
of Minneapolis, and George B. Evans
of St. Pnul. The metropolitan news
papers will doubtless be glad to ac-
cept cash donations"
Il therefore call upon the people of

for this purpose as the means of each
will permit. Let a generous response
be made, for we, as a people, are
abundantly able, and the blessings of
Divine Providence vii be our reward .
