WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.--The needs
of the Monongahela and the Al
legheny rivers were discussed to-
day by Captain w. l.. Sibert, the
engineer officer in charge at Pitts
burg. He presented his views about
the Monongahela TO the Committee
on Rivers and Harbors, particular
| ly with reference to locks and dams
Nos. and B, which are in bad con-
condition. The main point in his
discussion was that the enormous
development of The Monongahela
valley has raised the question
whether the plans made five years
ago will give what is needed
Secretary Root sent to the House
an estimate made by Captain Sibert
OF the cost of completing locks and
dams Nos ] and 3. aud constructing
lock and dam No 2 on the Allegh-
eny river. The construction Of these
loe ks was authorized in 1896 alta
limit of cost of 81, $4,000, The
Captain thinks that it will cost
Sl7S.732 more than originally esti
mated TO complete the three struc-
lures, provided Congress authorizes
n change of the location of dam No.
2 to site where II is possible to get
the necessary land
The reason for the increased cost
OF lock No. 3 is found in the fact
that it was placed 30 feet further
out in the river than originally IN
tended. The increased cost amounts
TO S2I ,063 Extra filing, extra ex-
cavation, extra masonry and ping
caused total increase OF S57 ,5b0.
The remainder of the extra cost,
$50, 9d5. is the amount estimated for
lock No 3. 1t is due chiefly to the
rise Of the prices of labor and ma
tefials since 1897.
Another factor which tends TO
send contract prices upward. the
Captain says, is the fact that nearly
all the contractors nndefestimated
the conditions under which they
had to operate and as result either
lost money heavily Or failed entirely
in competing their works. There
fore, every man had increased his
estimate of cost from 80 30 40 per
cent on the subject OF Lock No. 2
above the head Of Six Mile Island.
The Monongahela is still closed
and it does not give any promise of
breaking up for some time to come.
The boats are tied to the bank and
there is nothing doing in the way of
ma :igation
The strike on the part Of pilots
and masters against the River Com
bine has been declared of after six
months of battling.
Baker a. Judson are building
boat at Point Marion under direc-
ton Of Captain Mccormick. The
boat is 10 feet in beam and As feet
in length She will be used for tow:
ing and work around the new locks
and dams. She will draw but ten
inches.

Special Constable Thomas West Of

was necessary for him TO spend the
night at ClarksDurg They put up at
a local hotel, and after supper the
Constable left the boy with the in

out TO survey the sights OF the city.
The sights were too much for him and
later he was arrested for being drunk.
In the meantime the lad Charles Con-

joyed himself hauling an old truck
over the frozen ground. When In
formed that his guard was In the lock

hotel, however, until bis guard had
sobered up, and accompanied him To

Durham Dry Goods Company will
Slaughter Prices.

While on the rounds today IN
search of the ever elusive news
item the reporter visited the big
store of the Durham Dry Goods
Company on the southeast corner
of the square and found the doors
closed to customers. On the inside
of the store Mr.. Durham and a
large force of clerks were busy
marking down prices on goods for Il
green tag slaughter sale which will
begin tomorrow. Green tags were
greatly in evidence, being attached
to every article in the house. Prices
have been greatly reduced and big
treat in bargains is in store for the
people of WaXahachie tomorrow
when the store will be reopened.
The readers of this paper who at
tended Mr.. Durham's green tag sale
last July can bear testimony to the
fact that he il man who Away
does just what he says he Will do.
Nothing is misrepr ira this
store and all tags Win marked in
plain figures. The July sale was a
success from every point of view
and there is reason 10 believe that
the one TO be putson tomorrow will
prove equally AS successful.

STOCK SHOW, A FEATURE
Railroad viii Bring Train Of

AS the days go by the men at the back
of the great Wichita exposition and car
nival which is to be held here the last
fun week in September. get more ideas
and form more plans that win make this
affair the greatest OF its kind ever held
in the west Many plans have been pro-
posed, and the officers and committees
have been working out the most feasible
ones, until now the different features of
the fair begin TO assume some sort of
shape. OF course every scheme is not
fully worked out and viii not be for
weeks to come so far as the details go,
but the general outline Of the principal
features are in definite shape and the
details will be added each day until, from
the present incomplete shape, the great
est exposition of the products and re-
sources of southern Kansas and Okla
homa will be arranged.
This will be an exposition in the true
sense of the word. Every product of the
great southwest. even of the most trivial
nature, but yet showing what this coun-
try Is doing, viii be on display Every
department viii be complete in the most
minute detail. Agriculture. horticulture
stock raising and all kindred Industries
will be exhibited.
The county commissioners viii be asked
TO make county displays of everything
produced IN their counties, whether prod
ucts of the soil or of the hand A hand
some prize will be offered the county
making the best display This exposition
win not be limited to Kansas; 1t is for
Kansas, Oklahoma and the Indian Terri
tory, and everything possible to further
the interests of this section of the coun-
try win be done.
The main objects Of the exposition viii
be to place before the people Of the east
in composite form all the products and
resources of the southwest. The rail-
roads have given notice that they viii
help in every possible way, and one has
offered to bring a train load of eastern
people here to see the fair If an exposition
of the kind mentioned is given. The mer-
chants have been quick to realize the
bnefits of such fair and show and they
are responding literally to aid in the
of the project.
The stock show and sales viii be one
Of the most important features of the
exposition. Last winter number Of
breeders came to this city with their
stock and sold them at auction and they

received that since that time the stock

Shooting Cannon Broke Windows in

The business men on West Douglas ave

next Monday night with a petition ask
ing that honorable body TO take some
action that VIII forever put a stop to
firing the cannon in that section Of the
city. They declare it 70 be an intolerabIe
nuisance.
On Decoration day the cannon were
taken down near the Douglas avenue
bridge to be fred and the conclusions
broke three of the big plate glass win
dows in the new Missouri Pacific depot
and the firing yesterday broke another
one of the windows.
Superintendent Webb said yesterday
that the Missouri Pacific people were in
tensely loyal but they objected to having
all the windows broken out of their de-
pot just for a little fun. and beside the
loud noise was not particularly edifying
to the man who was in the middle of a
column of figures. He thought the petit
ton ought to be gotten UP, and he was
ready to sign it right now
J. E. Howard of the Union mills also
thinks some other location more suitable
could be found for discharging the can
non than right in front of his office.
There are a number Of feed and livery
barns in that section of the city, and
the owners say that the horses do not
enjoy the terrible serenade to any con-
siderable extent
