FLOOD AND BLIZZARD.


Western States Experience Raging Rivers
Huge Snow Drifts and an Arctic Tenn
prrature.
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
q 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 As 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 up,and 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 Nicllerson.
SIOUX CITY, Ia, Jan. 5.-The worst
blizzard known for years has been rag
ing here for 80 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, H., 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 a houseboat
that contained family of seven was
found upside down and the late occu.
pants are supposed to be lost
ST. Louis, Jan. Sat noon Sunday
the official measurement of the rivers
depth was given as feet and inches
AT 8 o'clock last evening it was "a feet,
being a rise Of 15j5 feet in SO hours.
This phenomenal rise is accounted for
by dispatches from every quarter re-
cording heavy and continuous rains,
beginning Saturday room. The danger
line for high water is SO feet. The
worst is believed 30 be over, as freez-
ing blizzard which began with sunrise
Monday cut off the volume of water
from small streams. The most serious
reports come from western Missouri,
Kansas and Indian Territory. All the
streams in western Missouri were
swelling the Missouri up to midnight
Sunday night. When the cold wave
set in at st. Joseph the thermometer
dropped from 6S above to Is above. At
Great Bend and vicinity in Kansas the
blizzard followed numerous washouts.

IN A DUCK POND.

Bank Cashier browns Himself After O De-
ficiency of 100000 In His Accounts is
Discovered.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 5.-Richard D. Cor
nelius, one of the oldest bank cashiers
of this city, committed suicide Monday.
His body was found in the duck pond
in Druid Hill park, few hours after
shortage of $4,000 had been discovered
in his accounts at the National Far
mers and Planters bank.
Last Saturday Bank Examiner Win
chester drew the attention of the Off
GERS of the bank to some irregularities
in the account of an out of town insti-
tuition. Yesterday morning Mr.. Corne-
lius was asked to explain the irregu-
larities. He did not attempt to do so,
but abruptly walked off. A closer ex-
animation of his accounts disclosed
shortage of 100000 The officers of the
bank telephoned detective agency to
hunt him up and the defaulter was
traced to Druid Hill park and thence to
the duck pond. There they found his
body floating in three feet of water.
Mr.. Cornelius was about IS years of age
and had been connected with the bank
for over AZ years.
The news caused more excitement in
the banking district than any other
event in years. For many years Mr.
Cornelius had been very prominent in
Methodism and at the time of his death
was local preacher of the Baltimore
conference, president of the City Mis-
sionary and Church Extension society;
president of the Emory Grove associa-
ton, one of the trustees of the Balti-
more annual conference and a member
of the official board of Madison Avenue
church. He attended divine worship
twice Sunday.
PLAN TO CONTROL PRICES.
A scheme to Close Small Steel Mills in the
Interest Of the Billet Pool.
PITTsBUBG, Jan. 2.-The special COM
mittee appointed at the last meeting
of the American Bessemer association
to figure out plan by which the de-
funct pool may be again placed on its
feet as the great dictator Of prices in
the Iron and steel world. has completed
its report, which is to be presented at
meeting of the members to be held
on Monday next, probably in Pittsburg,
but possibly in New York. The iden-
tity of the committee is not known.
The report will, however, astonish the
iron and steel world beyond doubt.
The plan is that the larger concerns
will buy up the allotment of the other
and smaller mills and pay the owners
to turn the keys in the doors and prac-
tically retire from the billet manufac-
turing business, with the exception of
pocketing the dividends they will re-
ceive from the concerns that will then
make the billets for the whole country.
In this respect the billet pool will emu
late the methods of the nail pool, but
with more hopes of success. The con-
summation of the project means that
the trade in billets and finished prod
ucts would be confined to the large
producers, who will then control pro-
duction, set the price and share with
the idle mill owners.

The Woman's Journal says: Mayor
Harrison of Chicago has intrusted the
promised revolution in down town
street cleaning to the management of
woman. To Mrs A. E. Paul has been
given the task of redeeming Chicago's
main thoroughfares. When Mrs. Paul
marshaled troop of 25 men in mill
tary order, with brooms perched upon
their shoulders, down Washington
street, the work Of keeping down town
streets and crossings free from refuse
was begun. Henceforth business men
and citizens will see discipline in the
street cleaning force. Mayor Harrison
is determined to have clean streets and
sanitary conditions in the alleys I'm
less all signs fail, Mrs. Paul will be
Chicago's Colonel Waring. She will
have complete charge of all the street
cleaning and garbage forces in the bust
ness district.
The Atlanta journal says: She is the
only woman in the world at the head
of a street cleaning force, and if she
succeeds in her ambition to make Chi
cago a clean city she will deserve a
monument. A woman who does work
like that is greater than she who shines
at german or wins first prize at BIZ

The BIRD ON Your Hat.

TIE craze for birds on women's hath
Is decidedly on the increase The feath-
cred kingdom is ransacked for tributes
to headgear They are Of all kinds and
sizes, from the owl to the humming
bird. The only ones remaining that
have not been utilized in this way are
the bird of freedom, Americas symbol,
the eagle, and birds of prey, the vul-
ture the carrion crow, ETC., and doubt
less these will soon be the mode in the
mad quest for novelty by brainless wom-
en- and for money by greedy milliners.
1t would be such decided sensation to
perch big crow or vulture on the head
as hat, skewered on with dagger pins.
Can nothing be done to abate this
shame on our civilization, this blot on
the character of women? Is there no
one who can WELD the singing lash of
the satirist against this savage fashion?
Is there none who can use the silver
tongued pleading of the orator for mercy
to Gods winged creatures? Must the
fashion go on till it dies for want of
material? When the kingdom of birds
is wholly exterminated or specimens SO
! rare they are worth their weight in
gold will there only then be surcease!
The late illustrations show owls heads
! as the latest garniture. They surmount
the hat. They trim the coat. They are
perched on the muff The owl has been
known from early times as the bird Of
wisdom, and now it is chosen to adorr
the head of the fool. Verify the satire

| emn visages glaring about the costume

WORSE THAN PRIZE FIGHTING.
fs What Corbett Says About Playing
Football,

Football.
Extract from letter in New York World.
In football, man has to face not
one, but dozen opponents. When
he goes down, he is likely to find
fifteen men on top of him. He can't
cry enough" and get to his feet.
There is no referee to stand over him
and protect him. Noone knows how
badly he is hurt until the fifteen men
get of him and he tries to rise to his
ieet- Nothing of that kind in the
prize-ring.
l have stood in the grand stand at
the polo grounds and seen men and
women who hold up their hands in
horror at the mere mention of a
prize fight applaud vigorously when
a player of the side antagonistic to
their sympathies was carried off the
field crippled They thought that
his loss would enable their favorite
to win the game. The better the
man and the more serious his injuries
the louder they cheered. l
never yet saw a man who had been
in two Or three hotly contested
games of football who did not come
out with some scar or other that he
would carry all his life. On the other
hand, have been in a good many
boxing bouts, and defy any one to
find mark anywhere on my body
