India Depopu,ated by Famine.

London (By Cable).-The depopula-
ton of India through famine and chol-
era is assuming alarming proportions.
The latest advices from Simla say the
census returns OF the central provinces
show decrease OF over million since
1901 when, under normal conditions,
an increase OF a million and a half
might have been expected. 1t is esti-
mated that five millions have died in
India since 1886 from causes directly
due to the famine. In Western India
things are even worse. The Oodeypoor
State returns show decrease OF 84o,-
600, or As per cent. Of the population.

SERMON ON IDEALS,
REV MISS DOWNEY DELIVERS AN
ELOQUENT ADDRESS.

At the Clinton Avenue M. e. church
last evening gospel services were con-
Quoted by Rev Miss Anna Downey, of
Chicago, national evangelist for the w.
c. Il. u, the exercises closing with a love
feast, in which a large number of the
congregation participated and professed
religion.
Miss Downey. who is a fluent talker
and endowed with a personality that is
most winning, devoted her remarks to
impressing upon her hearers the neces-
sity of making themselves as near
Christlike as possible. To the rising
generation, Miss Downey held we pose as
ideals, and from US is drawn the inspira-
tion for their future lives.
1.-The highest ideals" said Miss Downey,
"are what our children see in you and
me. The daughter loves her mother, and
after the mother her very fife is pat
termed. The son also loves his mother,
but his ideal is his father and any traits,
good. or bad, that he may have are quick
ly absorbed by the SON.
The liquor traffic, which Miss Downey
and her organization is most valiantly
battling, was touched upon but little by
the speaker She spoke in a general way,
taking the ground that if all would purge
themselves of the vices so general in
mankind, use Christ as an ideal. their
following would be better for the example
shown them.

RIVER LOWERS RAPIDLY
BIG BOATS ON THE MISSISSIPPI
MAY SOON EXPERIENCE
DIFFICULTY
ALREADY SOME ARE AFFECTED
Logging Operations Have Been Sus-
pended at West Newton by
Reason of the Heavy
Decline.
ALREADY SOME ARE AFFECTED

If the present rapid decline in the river
continues, the big boats will shortly have
to seek the bank. From st. Paul to Lake
Pepin the drop so far has not been felt
to any great extent, but below that pcint
much difficulty is being experienced by
the rafters in floating their tows TO the
mills.
AT West Newton, which is the principal
logging point on the upper river, opera
tions have been suspended for some days
owing to the scarcity of water, and this
may have the effect, if it continues
of shutting down the mills that depend
on the works for their supply Of legs.
The first Of the big boats to feel the
effects of a low stage of water are those
of the Diamond 10 company, but so far
their operations have not been interfered
with. Another week of the decline, how
ever, will render their progress difficult
At the ST. Paul boom logs are still being
RATED, but with difficulty.
To the Butler-Ryan company, who are
making the fill for the enlargement of the
union depot yards the falling waters are
quite acceptable, as 1t enables the work
to be done without interference. Several
hundred yards of the fill are now COM
pleted, where otherwise high water would
make work impossible.

OMAHA 5 FIRE 1T HUDSON
SEVEN CARS WE'RE TOTALLY
DESTROYED YESTERDAY
MANAGER SCOTT ON THE SCENE
Hard Work of Fire Departments Pre-
vented Costly COnfiagratiOn
Loss of 100000 Covered
by Insurance.

The Chicago. st. Paul & Omaha Rail
way company'S shops at Hudson, Wis,
were partially destroyed by fire yester-
day. The total amount of damage, ac-
cording to General Manager w. A. Scott,
who reached the scene of the disaster
before the fire was over, is about $4,000.
Fortunately there Is a blanket policy
which covers this sum.
Mr.. Scott left st. Paul as soon as word
of the fire reached him and returned late
yesterday afternoon. He took with rim
engine No. Z, Of the st. Paul fire de-
partment, which did heroic work in
helping to save the entire system Of
shops from absolute destruction For
this valuable service Mr.. Scott is deep
ly grateful to the local department.
The origin of the fire, Mr.. Scott stated
was spontaneous combustion which took
place at about $50 in the morning inside
the freight shops. There was no one
upon the scene but the watchman and
ne was unable to do anything but sound
the alarm. With remarkable speed the
Hudson fire department fastened to the
shops and began q. campaign of desper-
ate work to extinsuish the flames and
protect the other buildings. By the time
the St Paul engine arrived the Hudson
department had the fire under control
and all efforts were then directed toward
saving adjoining buildings and the vast
dBlOuLL VI SlOCk HeaF DJs 4 Ills
was accomplished only by the greatest
effort.
The Omaha owns about $1,000, go worth
of property all told, at this place. and
nad it not been for the most strenuous
effort on the part Of the fire fighters,
Manager Scott thinks that all of this
property might have gone up in the
flames. AS it was the only structure
destroyed was the freight repair shops,
in which the fire originated. This was a
large building, 262xSC feet in dimensions
and contained twenty-sever cars, which
were also burned. Adjoining the freight
shop was the passenger coach shop. the
machine and other shops. 1t was almost
miraculous that the fire was restrained
from catching these buildings. Near the
burning structure stood a number Of
cars or the tracks. By the work of the
employees of the road and ether local
people. all this equipment was gotten out
of reach of the flames in time to escape
injury.
Manager Scott feels that a far more
serious disaster was fortunately everted
by the combined efforts of the Hudson
and st. Paul 1iremen. He says the DAM
aged property will be repaired and work
will be commenced at once.

The new cars are modelled after the

The latter part of the week the COM

the shops undergoing a drying process.
The cars on the Seventh street line will,
in all probability, sec the scrap pile.
though some Of them may be placed in
service on the State and Mississippi
dimes. Here most any old thing goes and
as some of the cars on these lines are
of ancient lineage, they will be supplant-

will go to make up the lack that the
