Freeze and Flood.

The cold wave which reached us last
Sunday spread over the the greater part
of the continent. Even III southern
Texas three inches Of snow fell, to the
great surprise Of the natives. In the
great Northwest the cold snap followed
heavy rains and a previous freeze, aud
the floating ice in the streams was caught
and massed in gorgcs, which packed up
the water and flooded farms and towns,
and suspended railroad traffic.
The town Il Chippewa Fails in Wis
consin was flooded III this manner and
on Tuesday the situation was serious.
The mamoth ice gorge which formed
six miles down the river had backed into
the city, inundating large portions OF the
town. Every merchant III the city was
moving to place Of safety. The water
filled the easements Of business blocks
almost the entire length Of Bridge street
and before evening it was expected the
water would have reached the court
house eight books from the river. About
fifty families on the south side, who were
forced To move from their homes were
reported in want SOM Of these fami-
lies had taken refuge in empty houses
and were without food or warmth.
Bridge Supt. Callaghan Of the Central
road was instructed TO blast out the gorge
at the east, but he would not undertake
the task. lie said that all the dynamite
manufactured could not bulge IL, and IL
seemed Tint all that could be done was To
sit hands down and watch the approach
Of the food. The water was rising al
the rate Of a foot an hour, and it looked
az though the entire town would be in
undated. II was a ciitical condition oi
affairs, but there seemed 10 be no remedy
At Flambcau farm the river ran over
its banks destroying 800 head Of live
stock and running a dozen farms ant
building. II was feared that the conrst
Of the river would b. changed throwing
it directly on the town and completely
inundating it. In that event heavy los
Of property and life was expected.

John Wanamaker may or may not go
To the United States senate from Penn
sylvania, but he has gone into business
in New York in a business-like-way.
He has reopcned the old A. T. Stewart
retail establishment in which Hilton,
Hughes Il Co. failed to make a success.
Everything, apparently, but the walls
and the roof is new, especially the at
mosphere.
Did John Wanamalxcr take down tie
old sign and put up new one and wrap
himself up in tie comforting assurance
that everybody would in time find Out
he was there and business would make
itself No, John Wanamaker, being a
great business man, begins business IN
New York on business principles which
he has proved to be good in Phi adclphia.
He has lots Of John Wanamaker in .he
newspapers. lie knows that il the news
papers print readable things about his
business the people will come in to see
and will buy. Printers ink costs money
in New York. but John Wanamaker
knows what printers ink has done for
him in Philadelphia, and he knows that
he could not get along without it in New
York.
lie might wait to grow up" with the
town, but he prefers to be well III the
lead while the growth is going on. Mr..
Wanamakcr IN perfect y welcome to this
free advertisement, because his plan ~
worthy Of careful attention Of every re

SENATOR John Sherman says that the
Dingley revenue bill will pass the present
Congress and that it will not be opposed
very strenuously by the Democrats and
free silver people. This will be good
news for some Of the manufacturers, for
what the country wants is tariff on

start wheels to running that must wait
