SHOOTS WHIRLPOOL RAPIDS.
Peter Nissen and His Craft Make Success
full Xenture at Ninrar;i

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, July TO-
Peter Nissen Of Chicago. OF Mr.. Bow
ser, as he styles himself, Went through
the whirlpool rapids of the Niagara
river yesterday i'll the presence of about
10000 persons in his craft, the Pool
killer. The boat was towed to a rock
about a mile above the rapids and Sc
cured. Shortly after 3 o'clock Bowser
was seen on his boat. \ little later
James Labland pulled Up in i, row boat
and towed the ''Foolkiller" with Bow
ser aboard into the current. Passing
under the cantilever bridge the boat
took on the speed of an express train.
Bowser threw his oar far from him and
waved his cap. The crowd saw the
craft rise on the crest of Il smooth wave
and then dive into the leaping spray
and disappear. The strange craft
turned over and over ike top, rolling
and plunging until it passed Il bend in
the river and the most perilous part of
the journey had been passed. The
buoyant craft kept on the crest of tho
wares until submerged again Oh the
verge of the whirlpool. Shooting into
the whirlpool the "Foolliller" swung
around and went down like q fishing
bob, but rose again quickly. For tho
next 55 minutes Bowser and his boat
circled around the whirlpool. Shortly
before 6 O'Clock the "Foolkiller" was
carried out to the edge of the rapids
and line was thrown by Bowser to
men on shore, who hauled him in.
The "Foolliller" is 30 feet long and
four feet deep and is made of twoinch
pine with four air-tight compartments.
Bowser appeared to be little the
worse for his mad ride

working Of the campaign and will work
for fusion on state and congressional
tickets wherever possible. The press

one or two exceptions be the same as

campaign. Mr.. Towne may not an
