NO NEWS OF THE BRICK
Gold Slug That Is Worth $sa,5Oo Has Got
Away from an Express
Company.

Detroit, March 20.--No arrests have
been made as yet in connection with
the mysterious disappearance Thurs
day night from the Union station office
of the Pacific and Dominion Express
company Of a bar of gold in transit
from Salt Lake City to the east, when
is valued mt SE3,500. The whereabouts
OF the precious ingot is as much of II
mystery now as it was yesterday when
the police began work on the case.
Captain Mcdonnell, chief of detec-
tives, says he has nothing to give out
on the matter: that no one is under
arrest, and that until something more
definite could be told the police would
not talk about the case.
No one else will talk. The missing
ingot was one Of four, weighing
about eighty pounds each, that were
in transit from the west. They all
reached here safely, We're put away
in the safe and taken out when their
train was due. But that train was
an hour and a half late and the bars
were not put back in the safe mean
time. Consequently somebody "swiped''

Abraham VanGlone of Speedsville,
N. Y, and Jennie Stedman of Sioux
City, a., were married at Oswego, I'M
der romantic circumstances. Mr.. Van
Clone is retired business man and q
wealthy land owner. Seven years ago
his wife died and he decided to wed
again, but would not do SO unless he
could assure himself in advance of GER
tain qualifications of his prospective
bride. he accordingly advertised in q
western paper and opened a matrimo-
NAL competition, the winner to be the
one who could most satisfactorily fulfill
the specifications as to housework, tenn
permanent and economy to win his heart
and hand. There were IS entries in the
race from all parts of the west. Mr. Van
CLONE carefully sifted these down to 8
competitors who seemed nearly equal.
So close was the margin between
them that it required the toss of a cent
to decide. The lot fell to Mrs Stead
man and she was notified to come east.
She brought with her little child and
with VsnGlome it proved case of love
at first sight He at once took her to a
minister, where the ceremony was per
formed and they are now spending their
honeymoon in Speedville.-Register-

Away in that land Of the blessed;
And rejoice that no sorrow nor trouble can

Where thou art now taking thy rest.
No sickness Is there: nor any moro pain,
That was thine In this valley of tears;
No doubts or temptations assall thee again
No gloomy foreboding or fears.

The things that are laid up in store
In those mansions the Saviour hath gone to

That his children may suffer no more.

To bask in the sunshine of love,

Where all are made perfect above.

In singing the song of free grace
And range those bright gardens with loving

Where paintings shall never take place,

Ice Jam Turns the Water from the Amcrl-
can Side, Causing Most I'M
usual Sight.
Niagara Falls, N. Y, March 23.-
owing to immense fields of ice gath
cred on the rocks above Goat Island
the American falls of Niagara have
been practically dry, and for the first
time in fifty-0ve years residents and
visitors have witnessed this wonder
full spectacle. Within a few days the
wind drove the Lake Erie ice field
into Buffalo harbor and the entrance
to the Niagara, and great foes came
down the stream to the falls. The
river is SO wide at the upper rapids
that it has many shallow places, and
here the ice lodged, causing jam
that shut off the water from the Amer
lean channel.
Throughout the day thousands Of
persons hunted for relicsand souvenirs
about reefs that human feet never be-
fore touched. The American falls
could have been crossed at the brink
by men with high boots and great
rocks never before seen We're visible.
The Horseshoe Falls was not af-
fected so much rs the American, the
river bed near the Three Sisters ISL
ands was dry and the center falls
between Goat and Luna Islands was
a skeleton of itself. The condition is
likely to exist for several days. A
similar spectacle was witnessed on
March 90, 1913, at which time both
the Horseshoe and American falls
were practically out of business for
the entire day. This also was caused
by ice, which had accumulated at the
entrance to the river at Black Rock.

The Marshalltown Republican says:
"Postmasters and carriers of rural mail
are waiting somewhat anxiously for the
coming of the special inspectors who
are now touring Iowa rural free de
livery routes. About the only person
who is showing apathy over the matter
is the farmer whose interest in free
rural delivery should be greatest of any
The general impression seems to be
that as the route has once been started
itcsn never be discontinued. This,
however, is dangerous view for the
farmer to take. There is small doubt
that bad roads and q paucity of mail
will in many instances, result in loss
of the service"

A Des Moines despatch says: Let
tiers by the score and even by the
hundred have been pouring into the
Office of Governor Cummins ever since
the address before the Polk county con-
vention, in which the governor made it
plain he would take no backward step
on reciprocity and tariff revision.
These letters are from all parts of Iowa,
and likewise from many other states
Not few of them are from the east,
and include frank statements of ap-
proval from numerous politicians of
national prominence, whose views if
given publicity would not fail to cause
sensation. Governor Cummins has
persistently refused to make any of
these letters public.

Rush Of Settlers
Nearly 5000 People POUR
ed into the Northwest
in Two Days.
THEY COME FROM EAST

st. Paul, March Is, O3:-It was
necessary today for the Great
Northern to run a special train out
of st. Paul to the coast, to care for
the homeseekers, which have been
brought to st. Paulby the Chicago
lines from points in Illinois, Ohio,
Indiana and other Central South
ern states.
The Great Northern train this
morning carried a party of over 100
homeseekers to Devils Lake, wLile
it was necessary to add two coaches
to the Northern Pacific coast train.
This evening the Northern Pacific
coast train will go out in two sec
tions. Extra coaches will be added
to the Great Northern train also.
THOUSANDS EN- ROUTE.
More than $500 homeseekers
have passed through St. Paul today
and Tuesday.
Despite the fact that the season
is early and the weather has not
been favorable the rush of home
seekers is SO far coming up to the
mark of last season, which was the
banner year in the history of the
Northwest. The passenger officials
believe that the business will be
even heavier this years,
MANY GO TO CANADA.
The 500 line is carrying hun
dreds to Canadian points and taken
altogether more homeseekers will
pass through st. Paul this year
than ever before, if the present
movement keeps up. For the past
two days the platform at the Union
depot has resembled a big storage
house. Trucks of trunks crowd
each other for space, the personal
belongings of the settlers take up
large portion of the platform.
