FROM WESTERN PRUSSIA.

Carl Tolitz of Flatau, Western Prus-
STA, was at Hotel Francois over Tues
day night. He came in on the North
western Thursday afternoon. He
came direct from Western Prussia,
the time absorbed being II days, IA
of which we're spent in crossing the
ocean. He was bound for Morton,
near which town he has relatives re-
siding and where he will reside in the
future. He left for Morton on the St.
Louis bound Friday.
Mr.. Tolitz is a young man. He is
single, and only a few months ago he
finished his service in the Prussian
army. By the laws of that country all
boys, arriving at certain age, are
subject to military duty for a certain
number Of years-two for the infantry
and three for the cavalry. Mr.. To-
litz graduated from the infantry and
his carriage shows that he passed the
strict military discipline of the Ger
man army.
It is remarkable what little know
ledge private soldiers in foreign arm
les possess of international politics or
troubles. For instance, a representa-
tive of The GAZETTE asked Mr.. Tolitz
what his opinion was regarding the
action of the Prussian government in
connection with the Cretan trouble, in
which the Prussian government APP
pears to be one of the chief stumbling
blocks. Mr. Tolitz stated that he had
no knowledge of any such trouble.
1--WE do not pay much attention to
these Matters" he said, ia German as
he could only speak German, because
Emperor William II runs things to
suit himself, and we soldiers are al
ways supposed to be ready to fight
for him and our country"
Mr.. Tolitz was then queried on the
rumor so current recently in the
American press to the effect that En-
peror William was deranged. He
laughed at the rumor, said that he
had heard nothing of the kind in Ger
many, and that some people were
likely to find the young Emperor of
exceedingly sound mind if they tam
pered with the German or Prussian
Empire.
Mr.. Tolitz was asked regarding
Prince Bismarck He regarded the
ex-iron chancellor as man of wonder
full vitality, but said that he had re-
tired from the political arena of Ger
many. His son, Count Herbert Bis
marck, he said, paid very little at
tention to the affairs of the German
Empire.

A NEW GORGE.
o. Sunday there was more or less
dynamiting along the Redwood river
west Of this city. During that day
there was practically no ice gorged
above the power house and around
the rock the water was running fire.
quently. But the dynamiting had one
effect. It evidently drove out the
gorges west and the ice and water
came running down with all the fury
possible. During the night the water
at the power house rose four feet. The
ice was cracked and torn out by the
water and ice from the west and when
morning came the largest gorge on
the Redwood river even larger than
the one formed at North Redwood,
was located in the river from point
20 rods east of the power house to as
far west as the eye could reach, when
standing on hill. It was wonder
full spectacle. Where but a few hours
before there was no sign of gorging or
ice breaking the river was then a
huge mass of broken ice cakes, climb
ing and fighting to get on top of one
another, tearing down huge trees,
bunting against huge rocks, and
eventually forcing more or less of it
out on land. And around and under
these cakes the water was gurgling
and boiling, whirlpooling and foam
ing, in it's effort to go forward in
search of a resting place. It was a
vast stretch of warning ice and fight
ing water, bound to more damage to
property interests than to itself

thought no more about it till one day
as the mail passed the door, carried

told the boys he had some cats for

3. d. Taylor once went on foot with
plowshare across the Minnesota riv-
er to Beaver Falls and got his work
done. When he came back to the riv-
or the skiff was gone and no show only
to wade. This was about daylight in
the morning and late in the fall. He
crossed all the same, and chilled and
wet, called at doctors house. The
DIR. was just getting up. E. E. got
his breakfast and some clothes that he
needed badly, as his had disappeared

and huge cakes of ice, rolling forward
on end, must have cracked the bridge
with terrific blows.
The waters in the Redwood river
have continued to rise since last week.
On Sunday morning the river was
higher than at any previous time, ac-
cording to the gauge at the Redwood
Roller mills. And all this, notwith-
standing that the ice on the mill dam
and above the Delhi mill dam had not
yet gone out. While the ice on the
lower dam was more or less disturbed,
and while it was gorging slightly
around under the brid ge, there was
no sign of its early movement, while
on the Delhi mill dam it was as solid
as it has been during the past month.
Two representatives of this paper
walked up the river to above the pow
or house, and while huge cracks we're
frequently seen there we're no other
indications of break. Above the
power house, or around what is known
as the "big rock" the ice was gorging
to some extent, but not to the extent
of forcing the water into another
channel
Sunday was big day for the crowd.
It is believed that every resident in
Redwood Falls visited the falls and
the bridge, and good many of them
took in the sights around the dam
mills. The day was bright and fairly
warm aud while it was muddy, the lat
ter did not prevent the people from
taking advantage of the first nice day
of the season, and only an extravagant
display of neat ankles was the result.
The falls were booming-nearly up to
1881, while the water going over the

ANOTHER STORM TO COME
But It Is Scheduled To Be Warmer
Tomorrow

Tomorrow is scheduled to be much
warmer than today. That means that
the suns rays will have some effect on
the glass like covering of the pave
mentS and streets. and the fierce north
east wind that is enjoying an inter
rupted frolic today, will have several
degrees ground off its present razor
edge. The weather bureau says it will
be warmer tomorrow. and Mr.. Jennings
says the same thing, but adds that
there will be another storm before the
present week is out.
You See" said the veteran sage of
the weather department, there is a low
gallOping down this way from the di-
rection of the Pacific coast, which, if
not ditched or snow bound, will proba-
bly, strike Kansas early tomorrow. As
a low is always accompanied by war;
mer weather, this means that tomor-
rows temperature will be higher but
out here in the Pacific ocean, and he
removed his pipe from his mouth and
placed index finger of his unoccupied
hand on the weather chart, there sits
a wicked looking high which is only
waiting for the low to get far enough
away to start in operation itself About
Thursday this atmospherical being will
jump across Kansas, and in all proba-
bility another severe storm will be the
result"
At 2 o'clock this afternoon the Their
mometer registered % degrees above
Early this morning the temperature fell
as low as 10 degrees above. The pre-
dictions of the weather bureau also
state that the weather will continue
fair.

Chicago, Jan. 5-A secret meeting of

forces when the assembly meets at AL
bany.
When the report from New York was
recently received giving word that Pot
ter would be a candidate for the presi-
dency, the local delegates pretended
that their calculations to nominate Will
liam A. Connolly were blasted. Inves-
tigation proved that not much labor
was necessary to resurrect those hopes.
Instead of Connellys cause being de-
funct, it is believed that it has more
life than ever
Advices from Ohio, New Jersey, Mis-
souri, and Indiana show that the Dam
vile man is popular in those states.
The delegates from those divisions will
most likely fight under Connelly's
standard New York and MARYLAND will
espouse Potter's candidacy. Pennsyl-
Vania is doubtful. The delegates from
that state are wavering between Elliott
and the New York man. Massachu-
SettS is in the same Quandary. 1t is
expected that a number OF the dele
gates from that division will support
Potter. Wisconsin's delegates are silent
They issued a manifesto for Morrison
some time ago. Since then Morrison
has been seem by the Illinois men and
deep silence has pervaded the ranks
of the Badger state people. 1t is eX-
pected Wisconsin will abide by the man

which will be held by the western del
egates on arriving at Albany. In that
case Wisconsin will support Connolly.
Illinois will lead the west a t the assem-
bly,. Into the hands of the men who
represent this state will be repoSed the
confidence of all the western delegates,
in the hope that this section will be
recognized and awarded many privi-
leges deemed essential for the growth
of the league in the west.

mentioned for the position-Fred Ger

and if competency. fRithfulness and
fearlessness in the discharge of his du-
ties count, the place should be awarded
Gerlach. Batchelder is official handi-
capper of the league OF New York and
New Jersey, and is Potter's protege- In
event of the last named being elected
president it is safe to predict he will
appoint Batchelder to succeed George
D Gideon the present chairman.

BIG FIGHTERS MATCHED.
Corbett and Fitz Now Signed for a
Fight on March II.

New York Jan. 5.-F'itZsimmonS yeSter-
day signed the articles for the big fight,
which is set for March II, but the loca-
ton was not given out by Stuart.
The articles call for a purse of $15,-
OOO to be given to the winner, and each
of the principals to post 81. 500 in the
hands of a stakeholder TO guarantee an
appearance in the ring, the one failing
to forfeit the amount.
Stuart agrees to post $1,000 with a
stakeholder, to be divided equally be-
tween Corbett and Fitz if he (StuarD
fails to carry out the provisions incOr-
porated in the agreement. Stuart fur
Their agrees to post the remainder of the
purse 100000 in the hands of a stake
holder thirty days previous to the date
of the contest and that the said $4,000
be forfeited by him to Corbett and Fitz-
simmons if Stuart fails to bring off the
contest on March II. Five ounce gloves
are to be used.
George Siler of Chicago is agreed up
on as referee and Fitz decided that A
L! Smith of New York was a satisfac-
tory stakeholder as far as he was con-
cerned.
Stuart refused to say where he ex-
pected to bring the mill off, but the
articles called for him to notify the
pugilists one month prior to the date of
the contest.

Thirty depositors with $175, 900 in the
