DEPARTS IN PEACE
Mississippi Ice Moves Away
Without Causing Any
Damage.
STREAM NOW PRACTICALLY CLEAR
Frozen Over Dec. 15-Period of Clos
ing One Of Longest on
Record.

Shortly after ) o'clock last evening
he ice i'm the Mississippi began break
ing up at this point and during the
night it quietly slipped away. leaving
the river this morning clear with the
exception of n small field at the up
per part of the city. held 10y the bars
AT the mouth of the slough. and u
larger one on the Iowa side held by
the Crescent bridge.
There had been considerable appre-
hension ON the part of those who
watch the river that the breaking up
would he attended by disastrous CON
sequences ON this side. for it was
thought. with the thickness To which
the ice blanket had attained. there
would he considerable piling up
along shore.
When the breaking up began, how
ever, il became evident that the warm
weather had done its work so well
that there was no danger. The ice
was not as thick as had been suppos-
ed. and il was very much honey
cOmbed.
Ferry Dock Escapes Too.
There was only a small pile thrown
up at Alit iR'l ~ s'tNfiltffHll Street
and the ferry dock was not even given
q hard rub. The piers of the Crescent
bridge cut through the flnating mass
as though Il were 50 much snow.
The period during which the river
has been closed this winter is one of
the longest on record. The stream
was frozen over Dec. - and the ice
bridge remained solid from shore to
shore till last evening. the only move
ment that took place being a drop of
about a block last Saturday night i'm
which the whole field moved togeth-
or without breaking up.
Good for Duck shooting.
With the clearing Of thu river Of
ice the opening of the duck shooting
season in this vicinity begins. There
have been good many ducks flying
for nearly two weeks. but the pres
cnce of ice prevented them from con
gregating i'm any particular place and
also prevented the shooters getting
after them with any degree of sue
cess. The recent rise in the river
has filled the ponds and sloughs adj
iacent To the Mississippi ana hunters
will now find plenty of places in
which they can exert their wiles in
calling the wary waterfowl down out
of the upper air to their hearts con

What She May Expect.
The Goal of Love is Marriage
and the Goal of Marriage
is Maternity.

When young man and young woman
are very much in love every step of life
they take is timed to the music of the
wedding march. The happy consumma-
ton may be years away, but down the
path of the years the clear eyes OF love
discern the spot which some day they
shall call home. And when the mar
rage is consummated and the home
founded another thought begins to fill
the minds of wife and husband, a
thought that lies too deep for words.

results are truly marvellous.

In a state as young as Nebraska one

sionally pinch themselves to see if they

all that makes for material wealth has
been one of the marvCls of the ace. and
yet is not to be wondered at when soberly
considered in the light Of the wondrous
opportunity afforded the Industrious men
and women who sought to make homes on
the fertile prairies Of the Antelope state.
In less than a generation these plains
have been reclaimed from the wild beasts
and wilder men, and millions Of acres Of
virgin prairie have been turned into fruit
full farms and orchards. And those who
have accomplished this result have come
into their reward, not the least part of

The trustees of the Northwestern uni
versity are said to feel that by the recent
election of Prof. Edmund j. James of the
University of Chicago they secured as a
head for their institution an educator whose
culture is combined with a more than ordi-
nary grasp Of practical affairs and a more
than ordinary executive ability. Now in
his 47th year, and a native of the state in
which his chief labor is to be, he first
equipped himself with the complete course
OF the state normal at Bloomington. and
then, in 1873, entered the Northwestern uni
versity to remain a year. In November.
1874, he matriculated at Harvard, and a
year later went to Europe, where he en-
tered the University of Hale. After four
semesters there and constant attendance
at lectures in Berlin and Leipsic, he re-
ceived, in August, 1877, the degree of NJ.
A. and Ph.D. He Immediately returned to
this country and to Illinois, where he has
been prominent in educational affairs ever
since, climbing by that ladder that has
marked the upward course of nearly all the
sent, in 1892, by the American Bankers as
ISOLATION, to report on the education of
business men in Europe; a year before he

allied with movements for the practical

OF the west is the apple carnival, held

that is a distinction to be envied. Orchard

Middlebury, June -2e.-At the cor

Brainerd made the following import
ant announcement
He said the trustees contemplate
the establishment OF q separate but
affiliated college fer young women;
that the trustees realize, on the one
hand, the great, growing and just de.
mand Of the young women of this
country for a higher education, and
on the other hand, the evils that re-
suit from +feminiZing" college
founded for the education Of men. In
this way the policy Of Middlebury
College in the matter OF CO. education
will be quite like that of Brown, Har-
ward and Columbia Universities. Pres.
ident Brainerd called attention TO the
fact that nearly century ago at Mid
dlebury the claims Of women to a
broad and liberal education were first
recognized. 1t was here that Emma
Willard began her great work for the
higher culture Of women.
