THEICE DAM AT NIAGARA,
Water in the Gorge Nearly 80 Feet
Above the Normal Mark.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Jan. Blowing
to the extreme high wind of last night
and this morning the water in the gorge
goes nearly 80 feet above it's normal
mark. Great quantities of ice were
swept down the upper river from Lake
Erie, and the combination of high wa
ter and an increase of ice caused a ter
rife jam to take place in the gorge.
The waiting room at the foot of the
inclined railway was flooded to a depth
of three feet and the building was dam
aged.
The reservation force was called out
at 2 o'clock this morning to protect the
property. All last night men were kept
busy blasting away the ice from about
the abutments of the upper steel arch
bridge in order to relieve them from the
intense pressure. There has never been
such an ice jam in the Niagara gorge.
Many fear the ice will solidify between
the surface and the wreck of the old
upper suspension bridge, blown down
in 1889, thus partly stopping the channel
and causing a setback of the water
pouring over the falls.

UNITED ON QUARLES.
He Will Be the Successor of Senator
John l. Mitchell.

Milwaukee, Jan. 30.-The Milwaukee
journal today says it can be positively
stated that Joseph v. Quarles will be
the next United States senator from
Wisconsin succeeding John L. Mitchell
whose term expires on March f. The
nomination will probably be made by
reclamation this evening at Madison
soon after the Republican caucus con-
venes. This development is the result
of a. conference of party leaders which
has been held in Milwaukee and the
announcement that Quarles will be the
next senator from Wisconsin is made
authoritatively.
1t was the most important conference
of leaders of the party held in the state
for a long time and the decision to NOM
mate Quarles was the logical outcome
of the inability of the other candidates
to agree among themselves. At the con-
ference were representatives of all the
candidates besides some leading Re
publicans of the state including Henry
c. Payne, national Republican commit
teelnan.

PREACHED HIS FUNERAL.
Paola Minister Gave Directions For
Burial and Then Died.

Paola, Kan, Jan 30.-Rev. August
Stewart, an aged minister, died We'd
nesday under most peculiar circum-
stances, and was buried Saturday. On
Wednesday Rev. Mr.. Stewart preached
his own funeral sermon, and at his own
request there were no services over his
remains today beyond a short prayer.
Wednesday morning Rev. Mr.. Stewart,
who was in robust health for a man of
his age, announced to his wife that he
had done his last days work, and that
he would not live the week out.
His wife tried to persuade him out
of the notion, but he chung to it and
prepared for the end, disposing of all of
his personal property and making his
will. Wednesday afternoon he called in
his neighbors and made the same an
nouncement that he had to his wife.
Then he announced a hymn, which was
sung, and following it Mr.. Stewart
preached his own funeral sermon, clos
ing with a prayer for the repose of his
soul. Immediately afterward he went
to bed, and when a doctor was called
he sent him away, saying that he had
been called by death and that medicine
would do no good. He requested that
his body be taken directly to the ceme-
terry, and that funeral sermon be
preached, as he had attended to that.
In the evening he died, and his wishes
were observed. Physicians say that he
had no physical ailment, and that his
death was due entirely to his PRESENT.

Tells How He Was Married.

Johnny World, the tall member of the
World, Garnella & Mack combination, who
was seen at the Crawford theater Satur-
day, recei <ed word before leaving this
city this morning that he was the father
of a promising young comedian. The in
formation came from New York city,
where Mrs. World is at present located.
The telegram announcing the birth OF a
son had the effect of making Mr.. World
reminiscent, and he told a few acquaint-
ances this morning how he happened to
enter into a matrimonial contract with
Mrs. World. They were married year
ago in San Francisco, just ID hours after
they met. She was then Beatrice Hast
ings, premier danseuse of the .'1492'' COM
pany, and she was introduced to World

O'Clock. 1t was one of the shortest court
ships in the history of modern matrimony-
Il started to Josh her about getting
married soon after we met said World
land she came back at me with Is good
as L gave her. So when the little party
we were in broke up that night told her
that if she would come by my room and
call me at 10 o'clock in the morning, L

knocked at my door. / was rather taken
off my feet, because had only been josh
ing you know, but I decided to be game
and got up. We had breakfast together
and then L got Mack and his wife and we
went out and found minister and were
married. The ceremony was performed
al noon, our acquaintance having then ex-
tended over a period of just Is hours"

"CANNON BALL" IN STRAITS
A Kansan, Once a Millionaire, Pleads
in the Wichita Court to Save
a Single Cow.

Wichita, Kan, Jan 3O.-"Cannon
Balr' Greene, once a multi-millionaire
but now almost a beggar, was before
Judge McAtee's court Saturday plead
ing for the saving of his COW from the
hands of cruel mortgage holders. In
rags, his face covered with wrinkles
there stood before the court a man who
once could plaster himself with his own
diamonds and have some left.
Cannon BALI Greene once owned
1900 miles of stage line, 75 coaches and
1,00C horses. He controlled the travel
in the western states before the railroad
came.
They never held up his stages. He paid
them per cent to leave him alone
and deal with his competitors. In this
way he won the greater patronage. His
headquarters were at Kingman and
once he was sent to the Kansas 1egis-
lature by the vote of his hired hands,
alone. They were numerous. But then
the railroads hindered his business and
the outlaws turned traitors, and one
morning in 1889 he awOke and found
his business shattered, his fortune near
ly all gone and everything against him.
Greene then abandoned his stage bust
ness except a line between Wichita and
Fort Sill, Okla.
When the Cheyenne and Arapahoe
country opened in 1891 the Rock Island
did not have its line completed through
Oklahoma To keep up with their COM
pet1tors, however, they engaged Can
non BALI to transfer their passengers
He agreed to do so, but when the time
came Cannon Balr' was not there He
had sought revenge because the road
had forced him out of business. The
Rock Island company entered suit for
DANA ges and it cost. Greene his remain
and pay his debts. For the last year he
has been almost a beggar.

RAINY DAY COSTUME.

(F'rom the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.)
The Rainy Day club hasn't done a great
deal toward reforming the skirts worn by
women on rainy days, but it has done a
good turn to the shoemakerS. Women s
clubs that are worthy of the name usually
accomplish some good, even if in round
about way, but just why they accomp-
lish the things furthest removed from the
fundamental purpose of the club, before
they correct the errors that they organ
ize for the express purpose of rectifylng.
is one of those things which lend a CLEAN
of fun to the otherwise solemn meetings
of theSe-conScient organizations
The rainy day skirt is not popular fea>
ture of woman'S attire, except on the golf
links on a bicycle; and on a rainy day
the links and the bicycle share the skirts
unpopularity. Notwithstanding this AYERS
ion to wear a skirt-for the sake of which
dues are paid, officers elected and speeches
made-every rainy day advocate feels in
duty bound to buy stout shoes or high
boots. She might find it in her heart to
go forth in the rain dragging her long
clause in the code of vanity that would
permit her to wear a short skirt with I'M
slightly boots. So she lays in a stock of
becoming wet weather footgear, whether
she intends to wear a short skirt on every
rainy day only on club meeting days,
and the shoemakerS rejoice. The rainy
day boot is usually stout, cork-solcd. felt
lined affair." laced up the front and reach
ing three inches higher than the ordinary
walking boot. 1t has a fiat heel and a
bulldog toe. 1t is a second cousin to the
golf boot, but no relation to the bicycle
boot.

OPPOSED TO EXPANSION.
General Harrison Expresses Opposi-
ton to McKinIey's Policy.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 30.-It has
been an open secret here for many
weeks that ex-President Harrison and
his intimate friends are very much OPP
posed to the expansion policy of Presi-
dent Mckinley and the Republican
party.
TIL ex-president has repeatedly, In a
private manner, expressed himself de-
c1dedly IN opposition to the scheme. 1t
is stated that on one occasion not very
remote. Cen Harrison expressed him
self freely and with considera bic
warmth to the effect that ''Mr. McKin-
ley's policy of expansion will not only
defeat him, but also his party"
On the authority of a prominent per-
son, on another occasion the former
president remarked in the presence of
quite a large company:
Mr.. Mckinley had a bear by the tail
and could not let it co. OF course,
these quotations may not be exact, but
they convey the essential facts as to the
ex-president's opinion. 1t is difficult to
find among those Republicans who are
intimate with the ex-president any of
them who are supporting the admins
trat1on's expansion policy. They will
not allow themselves to be quoted for
publication or that they know what the
ex-president thinks on the Philippine
question, but privately they hint that
he is opposed to it.

LETTER OUT WHEAT
Says He Is Giving His Attention to
Combines.

Cleveland, Jan. 30.-Joseph Letter, the
Chicago speculator, in an interview
here concerning the recent rise in wheat
is quoted as saying: 81 am not paying
any attention to wheat now. I have
dropped that and am giving my whole
attention to the business of forming
combinations. However, it is no trouble
to account for the rise in wheat. The
demand is simply greater than the
supply
Speaking of his work in forming var
ious combinations, etc, Mr.. Letter
said: MY last completed work was
the organization of the International
Air Power company. That is a COM
pany which makes apparatus by which
compressed air is a motive power. The
company is a large one and is already
doing business in New York" Letter
declared that the trusts do not raise
prices but keep them down. when one
of these very large companies gets pos
session of the field it is good business
policy to keep prices down to a point
where no competitor can reach" said
MIR. Letter.
