DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 5. = Reports
from different sections of Michigan
show that much damage has been done
by heavy rains. Ashley is nearly un-
der water. Never before in the history
of that place has the water been so
high as now. Sidewalks are all afloat
and the railroad track is in some places
foot under water. Great damage is
being done to crops and property.
A special from Sault Ste Marie says
1t has rained heavily in that locality
the past 4s hours, something unprece-
dented at this time of the year. The
snow has all gone and there is little or
no ice in the river at that point. The
easements of several stores were
flooded with sewage, the sewers being
blocked land the damage will be con-
siderable.
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 5.-The railroads
of Kansas are suffering badly from the
snow storm. All trains are late and in
some places traffic is entirely block
AIDED. In some places the drifts are six
and ten feet high. At Larned the snow
is four feet deep on the level. Four
Santa Fe passenger trains were stalled
Sunday over ten hours between Dodge
City and Nickerson.
Sioux CITY, Ia, Jan. 5.-The worst
blizzard known for years has been rag
ing here for 30 hours. In this town the
street railway traffic is practically
blocked. Many trains have been aban-
doned and all are late The conditions
are steadily growing worse and a gen.
eral blockade is feared. Deaths are re-
ported from the outlying districts, but
until after the storm nothing definite
can be learned.
ALTON, ILL.,, Jan. 5.-The combined
outpour of water from the Illinois, Mis-
souri, and Mississippi has made rise OF
10 feet in the latter river here in SO
hours and the waters are still advanc-
ing. Great damage has been done and
much suffering caused to poor dwellers
on the bank. Yesterday houseboat
that contained family of seven was
found upside down and the late occu-
pants are supposed to be lost.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 5.-At noon Sunday
the official measurement of the rivers

At 8 o'clock last evening it was "a feet,
being rise of 1516 feet in SO hours.
This phenomenal rise is accounted for
by dispatches from every quarter re-

with his gold chain in his mouth,
while the watch vac humping each

of the cat. Quickly seizing his

for its famous depth. A professor
happened to be in that part of Ire
land last summer, and started out
one day for a ramble among the

these words kept running through
his brain:

But month after month went by,

swallow her up half an hour later.
IL was only few weeks ago that
Joe had been taken from the books

A typewriter was necessary, so he
advertised for one. There were q
host of applicants, but many of
them had not the necessary knowl-
edge for his kind of work, SO they
were rejected.
When the door opened to admit
still another applicant, and Joe
looked mp, he almost shouted in his
glee, for the newcomer was the
young woman Of the river episode.
The recognition was mutual, but
each strove to ignore the fact, and
Joe plunged at once into an exami-
nation of her qualifications.
