ICE in LAKE MICHIGAN.

to Ferry bo,ts.

MIw; ul1ee, Wis. Feb 15.-For the first time
this winter the ice in Lake Michigan is giving
the ross-the-lake boats considerable trouble.
advices from the east shore say that four or
five steamers are fast in the ice pack which
lines the east shore of the lake. At MuskeRon
the ferry boat Shenango No. is in the ice out
SIDE. The Shenango left Milwaukee late sat
urdsy night and became firmly lodged in the
ice three miles off Muskegon harbor She is
slowly moving northward with the ice, and
this has given rise to a belief in some quarters
that she has become disabled.
Captain James Reid has received telegram
from Ludinton urging him TO hurry the tug
Protector back as speedily as possible no mat
ter what her condition may be, ms all Of the
Flint and Psre Marquette steamers over
there, the huge car ferry included, were inn
prisoned in the ice.

Body Recovered.

The work train from Cambridge on
the c. & M. railroad early Saturday
morning with crew of men to do some
repair work at the tunnel south of
Glenwood, and when about two miles
north of Pleasant City the engineer saw
a man walking on the track near
bridge which spans Wills Creek at that
point, The fog was very heavy at the
time, it being about six o'clock, and
the man was not seen until the train
was close upon him. The engine struck
the man and knocked him clear off the
track and he alighted fur out into the
high waters of the creek and at once
disappeared from sight. The train was
stopped aud bacned to where the un-
fortunate man was last seen, but being
unable to make search for the body,
the train pulled into Pleasant City, and
the news of the sad accident WAS tele-
graphed to railroad headquarters. The
man killed-or drowned-is said to be
a Hungarian and was employed in the
mines at Trail Run. The body has
been recovered.

AFTER OHIO CENTENNIAL.
Company Formed in Toledo to Secure 1t.
Incorporated at S5OO,OOO.

Company Formed in Toledo to Secure It,
Incorporated at 100000.
COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 19.-This evening
the Ohio Centennial Company, of To-
ledo, was Incorporated, with a capital
stock of $500, 900. This is the first step
taken by any city to secure the CEN
tennial OF 1908, The city which puts
up the best guarantees in all probabi
ity will secure the exposition. The in
corporation today was made by City
Solicitor Horace Merrill and City Clerk
7. P. Harris, of Toledo. The incorpor-
ators are 1875 citizens of Toledo. The
two Toledo officials called on the Gov
ernor and requested an early meeting
of the Centennial Commission. That
the commission. however, will as
sumo to decide the question of location
is not considered probable. The COM
mission. whose powers are somewhat
indefinite, is expected to report to the
Legislature advising the holding of
large exposition, and not mere cele-
bratlon Of the hundredth anniversary
Of the States admission into the Unicn.
The members Of the commission do not
favor asking the Legislature to assume
the financial responsibility of holding
an exposition, and there is no likeli-
hood of the Legislatures doing SO.
1t is generally supposed the Legisla-
ture will either decide the location as
Congress did that of the Worlds Fair,
on the strength of the guarantees of
competing cities, or will authorize the
Governor to reappoint the Commission
ers and leave the decision to them.

EXCUSE Me-"
Says c. *. O'Hara, Who Started for the
Elondile Three Weeks Ago.


During the Holidays Mr.. c. X.
O'Hara, of this city, left for Alaska,
with his dog and gun. He arrived at
Seattle, Wash all right, but when he
reached that point began to gather in
formation that he had not dreamed of
before.
In letter he says he did not go to
Skaguay, but has rented an Office and
will occupy himself in selling ''thaw-
ers," For the benefit of the tender
foot it may be stated that a "thawer"
is down-draft oven, used to thaw
out the earth, which freezes to a
depth of twenty-five feet in Alaska,
and cannot be manipulated until the
frost is taken out. Mr.. O'Hara ought
to have good thing.
Further in his letter he says: "The
gold at Cooks Inlet don't amount to
very much--two or three rich claims
are all so far. 1t is hot stuff at She
nook Creek, Circle City, Forty-mile
Creek and Sixty-mile Creek. There
are any number of men who have
brought out fifty thousand and sixty
thousand dollars each, but when they
come out they are sights never to be
forgotten. 1t is no uncommon thing
for man to lose an ear, a toe or a
| foot. Excuse mel"
Mr.. O'Hara's brother George, of this
city, had contemplated leaving for
Alaska next week, but c. KS express
sive Excuse me" has dampened his
ardor for the pursuit of the yellow
metal in it's original state.

Heating the Vatican.

The recurring indisposition of the
Pope has again raised the question OF
heating the Vatican, a problem, which
SO far, has never been satisfactorily
solved. There are no fewer than II, OO9
rooms in the papal palace, and many of
them never receive ray Of sunlight
Professor Laponi, the ply to his
Holiness, has tried by all the means in
his power to maintain normal temper
ature in the private apartments, but
without effect, and they remain much
too cold for the daily diminishing vital
ity of the Pope. An architect recently
submitted plau for distributing hot
air all through the Vatican, bat when
the cost was mentioned-$1sO, OOO-the
Pope dismissed the subject with a wave
of the hand.

SAFETY OF STEAMBOAT TRAVEL.

Four Million Passengers Carried in Gin
cinnati District without Loss of Life
Unprecedented in History.
Supervising Inspector e. P. Chancel-
lor, of the Cincinnati District, will
leave today for Washington, accompan-
led by the Supervising Inspectors Of
the ST. Louis and Memphis District, to
make his annual report to the Secre-
tary of the Treasury. Captain Chan
cellor's report is remarkable collect
ion of facts Regarding passenger tray
ell by river in his district, he makes the
almost incon nceivable statement that
during the past two years the steam
boats have carried over 1000, 600 pas
sengers without losing the life Of one
of them. There were absolutely no ac-
cidents of any kind to the passengers
carried; and not single passenger was
even hurt This is unprecedented in
history, and shows that travelling by
steam boats is immeasurably safer than
any other mode of travel, and is even
safer tina staying at home. There are
$50 steamboats, in Captain Chancellor's
district, and during the year just pass
ed there were accidental deaths, all
of which were among the crews of the
vessels, and affected the passengers in
no way. The report is certainly most
forcible recommendation of the present t
United States Steamboat Inspection
service, and compliment to the own
ers of the vessels of Ohio River and its
navigable tributaries. There are per-
sons who belittle the river and it's slow
accommodation for travel in these days
of rapid transit by steam and electric
railroads, but they do not know what
they are talking about Cincinnati

Ole Olson is Swedish comedy drama

1t is said to be devoid of cheap sensa-
tionalism and rowdyism, but rcplete
with bright dialogue. interesting stu
ations and clever acting. 1t will be
welcome here because it represents a
distinct character that has not been

the Swede as favorable character
were discovered by Gas Hege, of Cleye-
land. He met with great success as
"Yon Yonson." But that piece gave
the playwright an opportunity to i'm
prove upon the Swedish subject and
the result is "Ole Olson" which is
claimed to be superior in every way to
Hege's origination.

LARGEST AMOUNT OF FREIGHT
Ever Moved in One Body In the History
of the World.

of the World
A correspondent asks for some fig
ures on the size of coal tows trans
ported on the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers, and wants to know how they
compare with the capacity of ocean
freight steamers. The transporting
power of the river towboats has no
equal in the world. Last winter the
Joseph b. Williams took from Louis
vile to New Orleans tow containing
1,l00, 600 bushels of coal. 1t covered a
a space of 1900 feet long by 26O feet
wide to depth Of from to Q feet. 1t
was composed OF 81 coal boats and sey-
eral smaller craft. 1t amounted to
ALBA tons, or enough TO load 1.o3S of
the largest size freight ears. This is
said to be the largest tow of coal ever
taken down the Mississippi, and If so it
is the largest amount of freight ever
moved in one body in the history of
the world.-Waterways Journal
