BLACK RIVER FALLS, Wis, March =.
Black river was cleared from ice from
the Dells dam to the mouth, and as the
great mass or ice. logs, whole trees and
flood wood came down the scene was
wild in the extreme. With a is feet
rise OF water the force was almost ire
sistible, and booms were broken like
cotton strings. There was a fair run of
logs, but the main cut is above the Dells
dam, where the ice is gorged and no in
dication of breaking. The break up is
three weeks earlier than last year.

GLADSTONE Is ILL.,

III" fr n,i"''s Condition Reported as
S-ri" ls-Hc Had a Chin.
LONDON. Mlrch S.-Nr. Gil 4dstone is
seriously i'll as the result of-a chill. Ac-
cording to the statements made in con-
nection with the sickness of the ex-
premier, the latter walked home from
Brooks club. so st. James, after dining
there with his late secretaries, and
walked home through st. James park,
though the night was a chilly one for
even a young and robust man to venture
out into, after dining at n heated club.
AS a result he contracted a chill.
and upon reaching his home had
to be hurried Off to bed. In spite Of
Mr.. Gladstone's desire that a physician
should not be summoned. claiming that
his indlsposition was only a slight mat
ter, a doctor was called and Mr.. Glad
stone was put under the treatment.
His Illness Serious.
In the morning his condition was such
that another physician was summoned
to attend him. and in the afternoon one
OF the physicians in attendance upon
the distinguished patient CAV" a state
ment to the newspapers which indicates
that Mr.. Gladstone's illness is undoubt-
edly serious.
The physician said, however, that the
absence of a high fever indicated that
there was no great danger at present.
Mr.. Gladstone is suffering considerably
from hoarseness and is kept in
bed in spite Of his remonstrances.
He insists that he is only
suffering from a temporary indisposi-
ton, and that he will be all right in a
day or 80. His physicians do not take
this view Of the case, and while they
say that the great English statesman is
in no danger at present they will not
allow him to leave his bed until a con.
siderable improvement has taken place
in his condition.
Naturally the report of Mr.. Glad
stones illness has spread with remark
able rapidity, and from many quarters
inquiries are already coming in asking
for particulars concerning the dis
tinguished sufferers health and express
ing the hope t. at he will soon be on the
high road to recovery.
Mr.. Gladstone, late in the afternoon,
was reported to have somewhat i'm
proved.
