And in time, for certain reasons,
Numbered me as just one more.
On the drive We met at mailtime

And loved her wildly, madiy,
Yet her heart | could not stir,
Though ! felt that would gladly
Call the world well lost for her.
Did she love me? Loves passion
Looked upon as out Of date;
Thus halted in fashion,
Daring not to learn my fate.
While she smiled on me SO kindly,

A TREMENDOUS LANDSLIDE.
Roar Heard for Miles-The Fraser River
Damned Up.

Chicago, Jan. S.-A Tribune special
from Vancouver, B. c., says: News
was received here to-day of a tremen-
dous landslide near Spencer's bridge
on the Canadian Pacific railroad. The
recent thaw had the effect of lOosening
the sides of a small mountain which
oVerhangs the Fraser river at that
point. The mountain has long been an
object of curiosity to travellers on ac-
count of it's peculiar position, it's fiat
summit extending q considerable dis
lance over the river, which is narrow
at that point. Shortly after midnight
last night with roar that could be
heard for over a mile, fully 100 acres
of the hill, anywhere from 20 to 30 feet
in depth, crashed into the Fraser river,
damning it completely and sending the
water in torrents over the fertile Nico-
la valley. The course of the river was
changed completely. Now the Fraser,
owing to the fiat nature Of the country,
has grown into a broad, majestic but
shallow stream and is fully half q
mile out of its course. The district is
sparsely settled, and no lives have been
lost so far as known. Barns and
flood and carried away, and thousands
reclaimed from the muddy waters of
the Fraser in It's new course. At the
point where the masses of earth
damned up the river fiat ice has gath
cred and raised high into the air. form
ing an imposing and picturesque sight.
The collapsed mountain presents a
queer aspect. 1t looks as if dynamite
had been discharged near its ragged
summit

The newspaper business in Montana
has many ups and downs and enjoys
little of the general prosperity of the
country. There have been number
of changes and suspensions of publica-
tons among the country press during
the past few weeks. The last issue of
the Virginia City Madisonian contains
the announcement that w. w. Cheeley

to make number of improvements in
the paper and build up and maintain a

Representative Dingley's bedside are a

poison in the system, resultant effects of
his sickness, are the principal symptoms
which the physicians now have to COM
bat which in man of Mr.. Dingley's age
make the outcome uncertain. The ner-
Vousness and delirium have partially sub
sided and the periods of consciousness are
more frequent. Tonight The patient is
reported to be resting easier, although
one physician is in attendance. The pres
1dent called in person at the hotel to-day
and made inquiries concerning the sick
man. Mr.. Dingley's two sons, from Kala-
mazoo, Mich, have arrived in the city,
but have not yet been permitted to see
