LORD R0SEBERY IS
CONSIDERED AS. ut"

London. Dec. 1.-THE most talked OF
man IN England today is Lord Rose
Dery. In anticipation Of his speech on
MONDAY, Chesterfield IS filing I'D with
special correspondents. who send long
dispatches describing the ferment and
local excitement. So great has been
the demand for admission 10 the han

thousands of applications for seats
nave been refused. Such intense inter
est could scarcely be awakened by anv
other figure in England's recent poIItf-
cal history
No one seems to have the faiptest
idea of what Lord Rosebery is likely
to say. His cryptic forecast OF his in
tentions has gradually raised public
curiosity to fever pitch, and If he only
intends to crafty this by middIe-of-
the-road announcements. he stands in
great danger of forever shatterine what
reputation he has for serious puTposes
Yet, as the Standard points out. his
declaration of willingness to lead the
lmperialist liberals would not bring
him more supporters than could fill the
offices. Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-
man, liberal leader Of the house of
commons, controls the rank and file
and the party organization
All kinds Of rumors are rife, the like
Hest of which may be mentioned. It
Is that Lord Rosebery intends at least
laying the foundations of a new party.

STORIES OF NIAGARA.
Some Of the Foolhardy Feats Per-
formed In It's Waters.


The, recent remarkable feat Of Mrs.
Anna E. Taylor in going over the
Horseshoe falls of Niagara in a barrel
recalls other thrilling experiences and
performances at Niagara. The Indian
legend connected with Niagara asserts
that the Indians who dweIt in that vi
entity worshiped the Great Spirit Of the
falls, their worship eliminating annu-
ally in the sacrifice Of the fairest mai
den Of the tribe to the Great Spirit Of
Niagara, laden with fruit and flowers.
Since then many lives have been saeri-
feed, voluntarily or invOluntarily. in
the mighty current, and many deeds of
daring attempted and performed there
for the sake Of notoriety or money. The
following instances of this kind are
taken from The Niagara Book" by w.
D. Howells, Mark Twain, Professor Ma
thaniel S. Shaler and others. collected
in chapter entitled Dramatic Incl
dents" written by Orrin h. Dunlop:
During the final twenty years of the
last century, says Mr.. Dunlop, the ef-
forts to attain nOtOriety through some
Niagara feat were perhaps more fire.
quent than ever before. but as far back
as 1927 Niagara was recognized as an

About the first feature Of this charac-
ter was the sending Of the pirate Mich
igan over the falls on the afternoon Of
Sept. s, 1927. This vessel was at the
time one of the largest Of her class but
had bsen condemned by her owners as
unfit TO longer sail the lakes. Dressed
as a pirate she was loaded with wild
and tame animals, and with a crew in
effigy was towed to the foot of Navy
island and set adrift. She was caught
by the current and hurled through the
upper rapids and over the Horseshoe
falls It was never recorded that any
OF the animals were recaptured to be
sent to the museums in New York
Montreal and London, as was the in-
tentiOn. Coaches left Buffalo on the
afternoon Of the 7th of September to
accommodate the crowds, and all the
Niagara hotels were full Of guests.
Among the crowd drawn TO the falls
by this incident was Sam Patch, a man
who had won fame at Pawtucket falls

SEVERE IN OKLAHOMA.
Cattle Perishing in Large Numbers
Indians Freeze.

Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 1.-THE blizzard
which has been raging over Oklahoma
and Indian Territory since Thursday
at midnight has done great damage TO
stock in western Oklahom- where the
ranges are unprotected a1C cattlemen
had not anticipated the sudden
chcange. The same is true in all por-
tons of the two territories. The pro
longed drOUth of the summer injured
all stock and their condition was not
good enough to withstand the fierce
nOTtheT.
From the Creek and Cherokee ma
tons of Indian Territory are reports
of intense suffering among the full
blood Indians, whose crops were ruined
by the drOuth. Unverifed rumors from
isolated districts report several deaths
among the younger full bloods.
The blizzard is proving a great
hardship to the settlers in the new
countr who are living in tents and
shacks.
