TEE spooner Advocate note

THE spooner Advocate notes
the fact that two Of fne popular
ladies of Shell Lake walked up
to Spooner one evening recently,
and after having "tea" walked
back home again, a distance Of
fourteen miles. That certainly
is very good exercise, and bor
ders on what President Roose-
welt would be pleased to term
strenuous.

published by Mrs. Goss, and the
rapid strides it has been making,

A. NJ. ANDERSON, of Grants
burg, a member of the state cen
trail committee from this district,
has announced his candidacy for
the position Of railroad commits
sioner, subject to the action of
the republican state convention.
Mr.. Anderson has a broad &C.
quaintace throughout the state
add has held many positions of
trust. He is a good man, and in
case he should be nominated
would make a popular official.
However, The TINES believes
the Eleventh district is entitled
to something a little better than
the Office of railroad commission
er, and the state treasurshsp is
about our size. Washburn has
an ideal candidate, and he should
have the nomination. Mr.. Clau-
sen is receiving all kinds of en-
couragement throughout the
state, and unless present signs
fail will likely be the nominee.
MELVIN L. YoUNGs, for many
years grand lecturer Of the

Wisconsin, having visited every

The Barron Republican IN
speaking of the assembly matter
in that county expresses the
opinion that the county wants a
man Of back bone to represent it
in the legislature, and that a

fications even though his knees

chances for them TO be all right,

Some are "week" while others
are simply weak. Z

KING Edward, the British
sovereign, seems to be improving
and his condition is entirely
satisfactory. The world rejoices
that the representative of a great
people is not to be cut down by
death, but it might be suggested
that the next time King Edward
has to be sick that it should be at
a more opportune time. People
chased from all over the world
to see the big show Of which he
was to have been the center, and
for him to fall down at the last
moment was certainly very dis
appointing.

APPREHENSION OF A FLoOD.--As was
stated yesterday, the condition OF the
Strand ct noon yesterday was OF q ma
ture to warrant apprehension that tne
next high tide about midnight would
spread over q larger area and cause
both Inconvenience and damage. The
water, however, did not reach the
point gained during the day, and to the
Joy of sll began to recede at time when
1t was being watched with anxiety.
The tide, however. Is said to haAs food
ed q larger area than at any time since
the Johnstown food. There was q
high southeast wind all night, and
the river rosred and surged as
white caps chased each other from the
Maryland to the Virginia shores. Ice
In front ofthis city has become extreme
ly scarce, and evidences OF the late
freeze are nearly extinct.
Considerable inc ,Dvenience Was expe-
rienced 10 different PAL of WashiDgt ID

Tally along wbarves, most OF which
were almost covered. At Harvey's

water gsiued entrance to the basement
through flooded sewers At the Marble
Pool Parlors the water began to rise
In the basement early 10 the morning,
aud It was not long before the floor OF
the poolroom was two feet under water,
but as the billiard and pool tables had
been put upon stills 10 the form OF box
es. little damsge was done. Water 10
vaded cellars 10 the vicinity OF Louis
ianna avenue and B street northwest
and caused merchants much annoyance.
Water also gained an entrance into low
parts OF the basement OF the postoffice
building. AS was stated yesterday,
water flooded the conduits under the
electric railway tracks in Washington
and seriously intsrferred with the run
ming OF cars. Passengers to and from
this city were transferred la vehicles
from the station to the Long Bridge.
As had bsen anticipated, the south
east wind and the heavy rains caused
the tide to rise higher than yesterday,
the water almost cutting oil the Strand
from the other parts OF the city, and,
as is occasionally the case, boats had to
be used by persons whose occupations
compelled them to be on the river front.
The water, Of course, invaded many
stores and storehouses, but goods had
been placed on upper floors In ant'ci-
patton of such contingency.
The water at the Long Bridge WAS
about one foot lower than yesterday,
but an increase was noted at Four
Mile Run. Tue conditions are more
favorable In Washington than yester-
day.
The steamer Norfolk arrived about
an hour late this morning on account Of
the heavy wind and current. ID was
necessary at times to use caution 10 or
der 20 avoid logs which had been
brought down from above and which
were likely to run afoul Of the propel.

THE PRINCE AT MOUNT VERNON -
The trip of Prince Henry through Alex.
andria to Mount Vernon was described
In the Gazette. A large crowd bad
gathered within the grounds before the
arrival OF the Prince, all the trains
which had preceded that bearing the
Prince aud his party having been crowd
ed. Numbers we're armed with cameras
with the intention of taking snap shots.
The scenes at the tomb of Washington
were very impressive. When the tomb
was unlocked the Prince entered with
q mien apparently as solemn as he would
have manifested at the mansoleum OF
Frederick the Great. For moment
after placing the magnificent floral offer
inRs 10 position the Prince remained In
the tomb. He stood beside the oasket
with hands folded and head bowed.

emnity of the moment, maintaining 81

siye scene was ended that the specta-
tors replaced their hats and moved
away. The Prince departed from
the tomb aud the iron door was locked
bshind him by Superintendent Dodge.
At the foot OF the little hill which leads
TO the tomb from the gravel drive the
prince was asked by Mr.. Dodge II he
would not consent 10 assist 10 the plant
ing OF q little German linden tree. VI
will be delighted to plant the tree" re-
piled the Prince, whereupon the party
stepped to one side, where the roots OF

planted 10 the coil. The tree stood
directly opposite tree which was plant

visit 10 this country. 1t wac expt ed the
ceremony would he largely formality,
so far as Prince Henry was concerned,
as he was asked to simply apply one
shoveliul of earth. Mr.. Dodge handed
him a shovel we'll heaped with dirt.
The Prince lifted the shovel and de-
posted the earth on the root OF the
tree. Not content with this, he STEP
ped down into the hollow made by the
excavation for the roots and soooped
ND another shoveful, which was de-
posted on top OF the fret. He contin'
