Wfnona, Mimi, Dec. 6.-News reach
es here to-day Of two immense gorges
which have formed but short dist
ance below this city. The smallest
one is at Trempealeau, while the large
one is situated nearly in q line with
Dresbach. Several days ago q num-
Der Of million. feet Of logs floated down
the channel past this city, having come
from broken boom in the Chippewa
river, when 10000, 600 feet of logs got
loose. These logs, with large fields
OF floating Ice cakes, are what have
formed the two gorges in question,
The river at Dresbach is about q mile
wide, with n.island in the center. The
gorge extends from the island to the
shore on either side. The ice and logs
are piled up in inner sc rough masses
and frozen solidly. No attempt is be-
ing made to break the gorge, as no
damage of much Importance has re-
suited or is threatened. The gorge is
said to be a very pretty sight. At
Trempealeau the gorge is but a small
one, though there are large number
of logs, perhaps amounting to mil
lion feet. Reports say the gorge ut
Drcsbach contains nearly 5000, 600
feet of logs. This estimate, however, is
probably exaggerated, the true amount
being about 8, 900, 600 feet.

Net Returned.
Cedar Rapids, Dec. 5.-Much anxiety
is felt at Frenchford, a small town
sixty miles north Of here, because of
the long-continued absence of two of
it's best known citizens. At the time of
the Grand Army reunion at st. Paul
Fred Rice and w. J. Cassidy took adj
vantage of the low rates to make q
hunting trip in Northern Minnesota.
Mrs. Rice's mother accompanied them
as far as ST. Paul, where she was to
visit until their return. When they left
st. Paul they were equipped for a six
weeks expedition. Since that time
nothing has been heard concerning the
hunters. Inquiries have been made of
returning hunters but no one seems to
have seen them.

IOrty-elgnc hours Dy exactly the same
conditions. Last night the water re-
coded eight inches, but after that It
came up rapidly, until 1t had gone two
feet above high water mark. TO-day's
bright prospects may be but repeti-
ton Of those Of last night and the night
before, and many expect the water
will still be creeping up Bridge street
into the residence portion Of the city.
The gorge in the channel of the river
has been added to all day and 1t seems
q veritable mountain, which tons of
dynamite cannot AFFECT. IL the water
is succeeding in cutting a passage
through this mass Of frozen snow and
ice further rise may not be expert
enced, but 1t is doubtful IL sufficient
volume can find its way under It to
save the city from further destruction.
An immense amount Of anchor ice is
piled up in the river at the foot yof
Bridge street, indicating that the gorge
has anchored on the bottom and that
the water Is no longer finding its way
beneath It. The fact that the river has
fallen fifteen inches at Eau Claire
seemed to warrant this belief. but,

Church this morning with Mrs. McKin-
ley and they dined this afternoon with
his mother
Mrs. H. Estby and daughter, who are
walking from Spokane, Wash, to New
York to advertise a Denver publication,
were received by Major Mckinley to-
night on their route East.
Cabinet gossip is becoming more ami
mated and copious as the days wear on.
There is a renewal of the talk about
General r. A. Alger for Secretary of
War Some of his friends have been
here within the last week and it is
known that Major Mckinley thinks very
highly of him. The name of Senator
Allison connected with the Postoffice
and Secretary of State will be a good
deal talked about in the next ten days.
Andrew d. White of New York is still
discussed for the same place. A New
York Republican who passed through
here to-day is authority for the state
ment that Thomas C. Platt of New York
thinks of going to Canton within few
weeks to have talk with Major Nc
Kinley and enter his protest against
the recognition of certain men in his own
State whom he thinks unfriendly to him.

RAILROAD TRAINMEN.
They Consider the Matter of a Gen.
eraI Union.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 29-A mass meeting
of railroad trainmen was held here this
afternoon and evening at Druid's Hall.
The meeting was called by the five local
lodges of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Iralnmen. w. {. Pierce, Secretary of
the Trainmen's Union, presided and ex-
planned that the purpose of the meeting
was to discuss the feasibility of uniting
all organized bodies of railroad work.
men. Second Vice-Grand Master r. r.
Dodge of Chicago was the first speaker.
lie advocated general union, not for
strikes and boycotts, but to secure COM
pulsory arbitration and the enactment
of laws tending to better the workers.
t. NJ Worther, State Labor Commits
sloner of Missouri, made a stirring ten
minute speech that aroused the 500 aud
itors. Others made short addresses and
recess was taken.
Upon assembling at 7:4J D. m.
Chairman Pierce dispensed with cere-
mony and called for short experience
talks. A committee of one member from
each lodge was appointed to meet any
organized body Of railroad men to work
upon plan Of union
The plan most favored for union is for
each branch of railroad service to MAIN
tam It's separate organization, but to
send delegates to a general congress of
all labor unions. This congress should
only assume to deal with questions that
interest all the workers, such as the Sc
curing of arbitration laws and laws
Furnishing blacklisting, etc, and should
have no power to order strikes or boy
colts

JUDGE VAN CLIEF'S DEATH.
THE COMMISSIONER PASSES
AWAY AT A RIPE OLD AGE.
SpeculatiOnS as to Whether the Su.
preme Court Will Appoint
His Successor.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29-Judge
Peter Van Clief, Commissioner of the
Supreme Court, died this afternoon at
the residence of his son-in-law w. F.
Herrin, the well known attorney, at the
ripe age of 7S years.
Judge Van Clief was one of the most
eminent jurists and pioneers Of the
State. He came to California from
Ohio in 40 settling first in Nevada
County, and afterward moving into
Plumas and Sierra, where he began
practicing law at Downieville in the
early fifties. In 1858 he was appointed
Judge of the old Seventeenth District
by Governor Weller. He continued his
law practice in Downieville until 1889.
when he was appointed one of the Su-
preme Court Commissioners, holding
the office until the day of his death.
The Judge leaves a widow and sew
eral children, among them Mrs. Hiram
l.. Gar of San Francisco, Mrs. Cowdep
Of Phoenix and Mrs w. F. Herrin.
The question of Judge Van Clief's
successor has already arisen in those
circles which realize the Importance of
the position. The salary of Supreme
Court Commissioner is $4,000 a year.
as much as the Justices of the Supreme
Court. The Legislative Act creating
the Supreme Court Commissioners will
expire next May, and the question has
arisen as to whether the Legislature
this winter will continue the commits
sion.
There has been a feeling among the
attorneys of California for several
years that an appellate court which
shall have final jurisdiction and power
in cases of a criminal class should be
created, and if such action be taken
this winter by the Legislature
the Supreme Court Commissions
ers will be abolished. This feel
ing is said to be widespread and, un-
der the circumstances. it is considered
doubtful that the Supreme Court will
make an appointment to the vacancy
or that any competent lawyer would
accept an appointment for SO uncer-
tain a term.

ABLE TO SEE.
Edison Treats a Blind Girl With the
X Raw.

NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-With the aid
of the X rays Thomas Edison has en-
abled nineyear old Katie Schoellewer
of Newark, y. j., to see, after having
been totally blind for two and a half
years. as the result of fall from the
piazza Of her fathers house, which
crushed one of the bones Of the skull.
and 1t is thought caused a pressure on
the optic nerve, paralyzing it. The
child was taken by her father to the
laboratory on Tuesday and Mr.. Edi-
son consented to see If the x rays
would enable her to see He saws:
When the little girl arrived I asked
her II she could see anything. She said
No l placed her in front of the lamp
and she told me she saw light / then
ran my hands in between the light and
her eyes. She said: There Is something
in front and then said it was a hand.
One of the boys at the laboratory. Ned
Daily, then placed a piece of brass. cut
circular, in front of her eyes. and she
said 1t was plate. Later she said 1t
was yellow plate.
then took the lamp and moved it
about from side to side. Her eyes fol-
lowed 1t and she told just where it was.
Then we attempted to discover the To-
cation OF the bone pressing down upon
her optic nerve. The doctor said he
was not able to see 1t. although we
expect to be able to take a photograph
showing the bone.
The remarkable thing to me was her
ability to distinguish color I believe
this is new feature. This experiment
was not made with the Horoscope. 1t
was made with the child looking di-
rectly at the lamp. The reports that
the Horoscope will aid the blind to
distinguish articles Is all wrong. No
