dramatic one was that of Donald Monroe

gaumee, only year ago. driving" on
these small, rocky streams is a terribly
dangerous business when the t1ood-gates
are let loose IN the spring. At that sea-
son the river becomes a roaring torrent,
on these small streams there are terrible
jams that the men have to break which
make the ordinary man gray-Leaded on
the first night he had to pick ont the key
logs, knowing the whole weight of the
river lay damned up above the jam,
which the floating bark and driftwood
had made into thoroughly impervlous
barrier. 1t was jam after jam from the
headwaters down, and by the middle of
May there wasn't man in the
crew but said he'd never go on the
river again. Halfway down the river
and within twelve miles of Pembina
was fall OF something like sixty-five
feet at a straight drop. The logs be-
came lodged in the rocks on the
crest of the fall and an ugly Jam
piles up behind. Our boss ordered all
the married men ashore, and led us
youngsters out on the crest Of the fall to
break the jam. While he was up in front
the logs began to move and, with a sud
den shock, both he and the crew were
swamped beneath the falls. Five of us
got out all right but Monroe was picked
up dead on the rocks below, his head torn
completely from his shoulders by the
rushing logs. a young woman to whom
he was engaged came up from Marinette.
About the first thing she saw was Mon
roe's head where it had stranded among
the stones. She threw herself down up
on 1t and was instantly killed. The crew
carried both her body and that of her
lover down IN the batteau, and to this
day you will hear the story sung around
the campfire at night to one of those
weird tunes of which the lumbermen are
so fond

BILL SPRiNGER'S DROP.

A Washington special says: The
Illinoisans here say that Springer's
deposition in the Ways and Means
Craftsmanship is serious matter for
him, and may end his public life. 1t
will naturally lessen his Influence at
home. More than this, President
Cleveland'S resentment against
Springer is bound to be shown in
the patronage So far Springer has
got nothing from the administration,
while other Democratic members
from the State have received dozens
of appointments. Then his Topping
on silver has not strengthened him
with his constituents, whom he had
educated up to the point of believ-
ing in cheap money as one of the car
dinal principles of Democracy. Ben
Caldwell, who has been waiting for
years for just such chan ;e, is now
expected to come forward and cap
ture the nomination.
When asked for a statement as to
the reasons which impelled the
Speaker to depose him from the
Craftsmanship of the Ways and Means
Committee, Mr.. Springer said: ITO
say that am surprised at my de-
position from the Craftsmanship of
the Ways and Means Committee and
appointment as Chairman OF the
Committee on Banking and Currency

truth. l have had no intimation

CARTER HARRISON FOR PRESI-
DENT.

The nomination of Hon. Carter III.
Harrison for President in last week )
EAGLE met with enthusiastic indorse-
ment.
Mr.. Harrison is Western man.
He is in touch with the people upon
every great issue of the day.
Physically and mentally he is in
his prime, and no amount of hard
work can rattle" or fatigue him. He
can spend fourteen hours in his office
attending to public business, or four
teen hours on the saddle of Ken
lucky thoroughbred with equal ease.
No President who has been elected
since Lincoln enjoys such robust
health. This means much TO the
people.
He will get the fourteen district
delegates from Chicago beyond a
doubt and enough from the rest Of
the State to give him Illinois in the
convention under the unit rule.

Bobbing about in every direction

decayed fruit and samples of almost
everything which can be heaved into

And it isnot all on the surface.
AS tug goes struggling by with
big boat in tow, and in it's struggle
rolling big waves to the side, varied
assortment of buried treasures boil

again. Kegs and boxes, buckets and
tubs, containing no one knows what,

aggregation is relieved by an occa-
sional dead dog or cat or a bunch of
old clothes.
This matter, with the refuse mat
ter thrown into the lake at the city
dumping grounds at the foot Of
9th street, all tends to pollute the
lake water and make it unfit for even
dogs to drink.
We need an ineXhaustble supply
Of pure drinking water in the inter
est of public health and common hu.
manity. Why not pass the Hygeia
ordinance? By its passage we can
have piped to Chicago homes for one
or two cents per gallon one of the
purest spring waters in the world d
healthful water of certain curative
properties. The Council should pass
the Hygeia as soon as it reconvenes.
Mr.. James f. McElroy, the man
ager of the Waukesha Hygeia Min
eral Springs Company, has scheme
to relieve the present pressure in the
labor market, and TO open an avenue
of work to small army of men. Mr.
McElroy is just and humane man
and his scheme is a commendable
one, Mr.. McElroy's plan is this: He
said yesterday: Il am authorized TO
say that, if the ordinance now before
the council is passed at once, the Com
pany will spend 81 ,00O,O 900 a month
for four months In the work of lay
ing the pipes, and we will agree to
employ Chicago labor only. This
offer is made in good faith. We are
ready to go right ahead with the
work, and this will give employment
to many men who have nothing 10
do. The Hygeia ordinance should
he passed.
