A MELANGE OF
LIVE TOPICS
Penned for Journal Readers
by a Local Scribe.
An Interesting Sunday.

Rev. Carnot D'Oriole, of France, &C.
cupied the pulpit of the Presbyterian
church in this place last Sunday morn
ing, making forceful address upon re-
ligious conditions in France. Monsieur
D'Oriole is representative of the
oldest Protestant body on the globe,
and one which he has truthfully de-
clared, has sealed their faith with their
blood and their tears. The speaker al
legged that the Reformed Church of
France Tor Huguenots or Presbyterian
after being nearly exterminated or ex-
lied for conscience sake had remained
loyal TO their beliefs; and that their
fidelity and example is now having its
effect in Roman Catholic and atheistic
France, where scores, even hundreds,
of towns which never before heard o
Protestant minister's voice in public
worship, are calling for Presby
ministers. The Reformed church is
partially sustained by the French gov
eminent, but it cannot provide ss many
pastors as the people desire; conse-
quently Monsieur D'Oriole is making
an appeal to American Presby terians
to assist in the work. He is attending,
with this object in view, the General
Assembly of the Southern Presby terrain
church in Atlanta, before which body
he will present the needs of his church
Wednesday evening.
Monsieur d 'Oriole is typical French
man in his appearance and manner;
and though he speaks English with a
strong accent, is perfectly Ineligible.
At the Baptist church in the MORN
ing Rev. w. 7. Raymond, of Holly
Springs, Miss, occupied the pulpit, and

preaching forceful sermons to large
congregations. Doctor Charles Cum

The Water Breaks Through the
Levee and mandates the
BarabOO Valley.

Portage, Wis, Oct. 9.-The city levee
on the west side of the Wisconsin riv-
er, broke at Bardens, this afternoon,
and everything is under several feet
of water. Across he-river residents
must come to town in boats. With the
breaking of the levee the water began
flowing in raging current down the
Baraboo valley, emptying into that
stream and through it back to the
Wisconsin. The river above over
flowed its banks at the northern end
of the city. With the rush of water
residents began to move in vehicles
aHd boats.
The river came to standstill at
p. m.
Capt. Grover Bailey, engaged here
on the government works, states that
it is the highest water ever known
here. The official guage shows 1875
feet this evening, half foot higher
than the highest last spring.
Tonight there is about five inches
of water on the floor of the pumping
station of the waterworks plant. Wa
ter has covered the tracks of the
Madison-Portage branch of the Mil
waukee road, and traffic is abandoned.

Superior.

Duluth, Mimi, Oct. 10.-The steam
er John Owen had terrible expcri-
ence with a cyclonic gale on Lake SUI
perior between Whitefish and Kewee-
nav point, on Sunday. At that point,
where the water is the deepest and
the open area of water is widest, The
seas attain their worst violence, and
the crew of the Owen say that their
experiences never included such seas
before. Their fury was terrific, and
the waves pounded the vessel until
her starboard bow was carried away,
her pilot house shifted four feet and
her smokestacks were blown out of
gear. There were nine inches of wa
ter in her cabin at one time. For ten
hours, with disabled engines, she drift
ed almost at the mercy of the gale,
making only three miles an hour.
Her crew were all sick, and it was
feared for time she would go to the
bottom.
