The river Desperes, which flows
thru the Worlds Fair site, in st.
Louis, will be covered up to get it
out of the way. This little stream,
which has been quite a problem in
the work of preparing the ground
for the coming exposition, will be
led underground for distance of
two miles. Specifications for the
work, to be done within the next
few months. call for sluiceway
forty-seyen feet wide, fifteen feet
deep and two miles long. Over
this sluiceway exposition visitors
will walk, buildings will rest,
fountains will play and the cas-
cades will flow. Thus it is expect
ed to confne the little stream that
usually overhows its banks at ev-
cry freshet.

The BLIZZARD.
Drop in Temperature from
40 to SO Degrees.
Storm Unprecedented i'm Sc
verify For This Season.

"A cold wave of almost unprece-
dented severity for this season of
the year swooped down upon the
country last Saturday night. 1t
came with rush in the wake of a
heavy rainstorm in some sections,
and the warning of its approach
was so short that the people were,
in many instances, caught in a
state of unpreparcdness. The
blizzard, for it amounted to that,
extended from the upper lake re-
giOn on the north, almost to the
gulf on the south, and Indiana on
the east to Wyoming on the west.
Many deaths are reported. AT
Marshall, Mo-, while the mercury
was eight degrees below zero, Jo-
seph Walker, IA negro, froze to
death on the street
AT Leavenworth, Kansas, Ma
thias Garthoeffcr, Il veteran of the
Soldiers Home, while walking
from the city to the home, fell off
a culvert and was frozen stiff and
died. In the same city Mrs. Jo-
seph Duke got up during the
night and fell to the floor in her
house and died, from the effects of
the cold, before she could be re-
lieved.
a farmers sleigh overturned
near st. Paul, Mimi, and he fell
senseless on the prairie and was
picked p.dead.
a teamstar in Chicago fell to
the ground between his horses and
was dead before Undiscovered. \
man in the same city went into Il
saloon for shelter and later was
found dead in his chair.
AT Cheyenne, Wyo., five sheep
herders are reported as having
perished in the blizzard.
AT Lincoln, Neb., 24S head of
sheep froze to death in Il ear.
In ARKANSAS, Tennessee, Texas,
Kentucky and Mississippi the blast
is reported the coolest ever eXpe-
rienced in that section at this sea-
son of the year.

The Devil Smiled.

What does the editor of the
Vandala Leader mean in the ref
erencc below to Mexico church
people:
thanksgiving day was a great
day in Mexico. Union religious
services were held. The light fell
brilliantly thru many stained glass
windows. The music rolled grand
ly forth. Special solos, adapted
to the culture of the audience, as
cended as far as. the carved cell
ing. There was an address in
faultless English. The well-bred
assembly rustled their silks softly.
Society, fashion, culture effervesc-
ed like an aroma. The benedic-
tion was given and the fashion pa
rade filed out. Upon the table in
front of Gods altar, left as a
thank offering to be used for the
poor, were less than S.. Angels
wept and Mephisto smiled.
In little white church, Pleas
ant Plains, in Audrain, the coun-
try people came together to praise
God for His goodness and to rem
der thanks. There are less than
thirty members, but they repre-
sent the backbone of our popula-
ton, they exemplify business and
Christian integrity, and the beauty
of living near to Nature. There
was here the cheer of human sym
pathies, and good will pervaded
like an incense. The cCngrega-
ton sang with a will. The plain
sermon appealed to all. After
the benediction they shook hands
and asked friends to dinner. Up
on the table in front of Gods al.
tar, this congregation of less than
thirty members left $33 to express
their faith and thanks. Angels

~ uoeS looh ike tne negro QueS-
ton will never be permanently set
tied. He has been a "bone of
contention between the North
and the South for quite century.
He was brought here by Northern
ships, owned and worked in the
North until his owners found that
it didn't pay to keep him, and
then they sold him to the Southern
people. After converting him in
to cash these same Yankees began
to see and say how wicked it was
to own a negro and enjoy the
fruits of his labor.
And now comes the Chicago
rd-Herald, speaking of the
Booker Washington Teddy Roose-
welt dinner incident, and SAYS that
"the spirit of race animosity in the
South almost passes comprchcn-
sion" a Southern man can see
i'll this remark a falschood that is
astonishing. The Northern pco.
pie do not know the negro as the
Southern people know him, and
yet they know him well enough
no; to want his company in their
section. The Southern people
know him all along the line and
they know the place he should oc-
cupy. As long as he is in that
place, the negro has no better
friend than the Southern white
man.
The fact is there is more race
animosity at the North than at the
South. Not long ago, during II
coal strike i'll Illinois, the whites
drove the negroes ont of the mines
and the authorities winkcd at the
act. The law of the land was thus
tramplcd under foot, and not one
white man raised his voice in be-
half OF the negro, Within the past
year or two in the national me-

and stoned by the whites, simply

They do not believe that the negro

The negro knows this fact and is
perfectly willing to keep his place.
He has no wish or hope for social

IN OLD MEXICO.
Miss Anne Hinde, of This
City, Tells of Scenes.

- ilaNc lOfmCu the acquaintance
here of Il very interesting family
by the name of Mcdonald. Mr..
Mcdonald is an lrishman, but left
the old country twenty-five years
ago, and has thoroly explored the
western part of the United States.
He married i'll Butte City, Monta-
ma. They have lived here in Qua
najuato for number of years,
and own an elegant home, the old
homestead of one of the wealthiest
Mexican families. They have ad-
dcd to it all the modern improve
ments, and it is now one of the
most elegant and desirable in the
city.
Yesterday p. m. Mr.. aud Mrs.
Mcdonald called for me for pro-
missed horseback ride in the coun-
try. We rode for several hours,
away out in the mining district.
The scenery was pcrfcct--somc of
the quaintCSt, most dcsOlatc look
ing old shrineS aud tombS of pco-
pie who had been murdered out
there. Often Just Il little old lone
ly cross up on the side of the
mountain is all there is To mark
the last resting place of the muir
dcrcd man. People are supposed
to take off their hats at each of
these shrincs, bend the knee, bow
the head and pray for his soul,
casting Il stone upon the lonely
grave.
After this ride ! was invited
home with the McDonaldS To Il :

leans had been invited TO meet me

and Japan, and found him very

men left, Mr.. and Mrs. Mcdonald
