DREDGING WILL BE CONTINUED
At that Part Of River Near Where the Fishing
Rod Was Found.

There are more men than boats, by
many, for the search after the three
bodies of the lost young men, and the
work was carried on, Friday, in much
the same way as on the days previous,
near the place where the rod was found
on Thursday. The current is swift
there, made doubly so by the swol en-
condition of the river. The diver tried
to reach bottom. Friday, but was TN
successful, in spite of the $50 pounds
of metal on his person. The dredging
will be pursued with vigor and all the
boats available will be out, Saturday
in search for the missing bodies.
A reward has been offered for the
recovery of the bodies.

CHICAGO, January 20.-The Will

by fire that originated in the base
ment and spread with uncomfortable
rapidity. The loss is estimated at
nearly 100000. Fireman jeremiah

and will probably die. Fireman John
Workman was precipitated into the
hannes by the collapse Of the roof, and
Is not likely TO i've long. One OF
Fireman Patrick Patterson's legs was
broken by falling bricks. Both OF
Fireman jeremiah Redcroft's ankles
were broken in the same way. Cap

ing from the structure. Fireman 8.

THE LEDGER is opposed to the pas
sage of bill to appropriate $3.50, 200
for the cyclone sufferers of st. Louis.
1t seems that it has been decided that
such an appropriation would be con-
stitutional and that there has been
precedent in that an appropriation
was made in 1880 to pay for the re-
building of public works at Marshfield,
Mo-, which were destroyed by cyclone.
Appropriations were also made for the
relief of food sufferers in Southeast
Missouri about ten years ago. In the
latter case the relief was for the bene-
fit of individual sufferers. The metro
politan papers claim that there will be
but little opposition to this bill, but
this is surely mistake. Immediately
after the cyclone the people of st.
Louis gave notice that they did not
need any outside assistance and thous-
ands of dollars were raised at home to
temporarily care for the sufferers.
Audrain County, on two occasions,
has suffered severely from cyclones,
some Of our people having been finan-
cially ruined. No aid was asked from
the State. 1t it becoming too popular
to make a raid on the State treasury,
and if this matter is allowed to grow
there is no telling where it will stop
There are companies which insure
against cyclones as we'll as against
fire. IL mans house is blown away
or his cattle and hogs die or any other
misfortune Details him, it is not ex-
pected that the State should make
good his loss. The LEDGER is of the
opinion that the bill should and will
be defeated.

HOUSE rs INVADED By SPIRITS

Sons Demand.

L1aoN1ER, IND, Jan. N.-Weird
scenes are being enacted in the vii
lage of Marcellus, Mich, where the
family of William Belts processes to
believe that the house it occupies ia
haunted by spirits. The claim is made
that spirits visit the place in response
to the demand of a supernatural
power welded by Irving Belts, a son,
aged IS, who, it is alleged, has de-
veloped the power of materializing
them. The family is unable to sleep
at night by reason of the strange man
ifestatlons, which take the form ol
wrappings and moving of furniture
and the house is regarded with awe by
the villagers. The parents OF young
Belts are devout church members.
