Wallace and Heidrick VIII Honor
Contracts.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov 7-Manager
Donovan, Of the st. Louis National
league club, has departed for his home
in Lawrence, Mass, feeling greatly dis
appointed over his failure to induce
Rhody Wallace and Emmett Heidrick to
remain with i'm. After his talk with
them they promised to meet him again
today and give him final answer,
Donovan said.
At noon today Donovan was greatly
surprised to learn that Wallace and
Heidrick were in Youngstown and had
given out a statement that they would
be with the American league next sea-
son. Youngstown is sixty-eight miles
from here and the players were in that
city and had a talk with Jimmy Nc
Aleer before Donovan knew they had
left Pittsburg. Then the ST. Louis man
ager journeyed on East. The report
from Youngstown stated that Wallace
and HeidNck went there to tell Manager.

league club, that they would be with
him. Wallace is quoted as saying: I'VE

WINTER WILL BE Open
so SAY THE RIvERnIEN WHO
WATCH THE OAIENS.

The coming winter will be an open one
and the next month will be a continuous
series of warm, pleasant days, if all the
omens known to riyermen do not defy
all precedent in their naturalization.
When the leaves fall from the trees
early in the year it is the best sign that
the winter will be an open oEe. And,
according to rivermen who have followed
natures own predictions for years, that
the first few days in November were
cold and that a mantle of snow covered
the earth, is enough to insure warm,
pleasant weather until Christmas.
w. A. Sutor, of the Mississippi River
Towing company, said yesterday that it
depended almost entirely upon circum-
stances whether or not the boats would
lay up early in the season. Some of
them may run until the river freezes,
and then again they may lay up within
week 1t depends almost entirely upon
the amount of business which they have
to transact before the river closes. 1
believe there are now between six and
ten boats in service, and it Is quite prob
able that they will work for at least two
or three weeks"
The passenger and freight business, ac-
cording to Mr.. Sutor, has been one of
the best ever known. There were but
few dull weeks in either of these
branches.
1t is not probable, however, that the
logging business will ever again be as
profitable on the Mississippi as hereto
fore. While there are still logs and
plenty of them. the supply has materially
decreased within the past few years.
The present supply is so situated that
it is difficult to ship them, as well as ex-
penSive.

DEAD MAN WALKED OFF
SURPRISING ACTION OF SUPPOSED
CORPSE.

Coroner A. w. Miller was called to in
vestigate case of man supposed to
be dead in the Bowlby block, at Sixth
and Robert streets, shortly after
o'clock last night, but when the coroner
arrived the supposed dead man was gone,
and was nowhere to be found.
According to the story told by the
elevator man in the building. he dscov-
cred a stranger lying on the steps in
the hall on the first floor, who appeared
to be dead. He called friend and
shook the man, but, as he received no
response, he thought the man was dead
and notified the coroner. The two men
then made a second attempt to rouse the
supposed dead man. and to their ut
ter amazement, he suddenly got up and
walked away without giving his name or
address. He appeared to talk very ra-
tionally, and it Is thought he had fit
on the stairs.
