Deep Water From Lakes to Gulf.

DeeD w attF I<dhtS W WILL
The grounding of the United States
monitor Arkansas In the Mississippi
river on its return from st. Louis,
where it was sent to participate in the
Louisiana Purchase exposition dedica-
ton, has reawakened talk of the ad-
visibility Of constructing a deep wa
tcrway from the great lakes to the
gulf The Arkansas ran aground
short distance below st. Louis and
seemed for a long time to be stranded
beyond hope of rescue. Then there
came freshet in the upper Mississip-
pi which foated the vessel, and 1t
found fourteen foot channel to Cairo.
Below Cairo the channel was even
deeper
The experience of the Arkansas has
brought out some comment regarding
the proposed waterway from Lyman
B. Cooley, published in the late issue
of Commercial Expansion, in which
he estimates that the lower Mississippi
below Cairo carries twelve feet of wa
ter for about 240 days of the average
year.
The full capacity of the Chicago ca
nal, Mr.. Cooley estimates, must add
about eighteen inches to the low water
stage below st. Louis and half as
much below Cairo. With this addition
the stages of water on the middle Mis-
sissippi must give fourteen feet of wa
ter for about 100 days of the average
year. 80
The ultimate purpose of congress,
when the recent survey was ordered,
was fourteen foot channel from the
southern terminus of the drainage ca
nal to ST. Louis. With the contem-
plated improvements on the Missis-
sippi, Mr.. Cooley assumes, a depth Of
not less than eight feet can be main
tanned with the natural water supply.
When fourteen foot channel has been
Soulplctcu lTOlu tue euu VI Tie chicago
drainage canal to the Mississippi, Mr..
Cooley contends, a depth of fourteen
feet will be secured below st. Louis
for 255 days in the average year.
Mr.. Cooley in urging the practicable
ity of this fourteen foot channel says
that it will be closed by ice only sew
enty days at the northern end, and he
believes that the great lake fleet can
be taken out by way of the drainage
canal for winter work on the high
seas and that shipyards of the lake
can deliver their output to any market
under conditions that will enable them
to compete with the world.
Such a deep waterway from the foot
of Lake Michigan to the gulf of Mex.
leo would cost the government a mint
OF money, but it would unquestionably
be of inestimable value to the middle

Tricomia. The archdiocese of st. Louis at
that time was the largest I'm the world. He
was consecrated bishop April IA. 1872.
In June. 1884, official Information was re-
ceived that. he had been by
the Propaganda and approved by the Pope
as Archbishop of Philadelphia.
He was the preacher selected by Cardi-
nal McCloskey on the occasion of the dedi-
cation Of the Cathedral in New York; was
the preacher when the first of the Ameri-
can cardinals was laid to rest; also when
the pallium was bestowed upon Archbishop
Corrigan. The opening sermon of the Third
Plenary Council of Baltimore was preached
by him, as was also the centennial sermon
in Baltimore in 1889 of the establishment or
the Catholic hierarchy Of the United States.
He was the orator chosen by Cardinal Glib
bons when. that prelate received the cardi-
nails hat.
One of Archbishop Ryan's greatest works
was the establishment of the Catholis Pro-
tectory for Wayward Boys in Philadelphia.

received so much substantial aid that the
work proceeded Immediately and was COM
pleted, affording accommodations for 900.

PUBLIC LIBRARY CLOSED.
Lafayette Fakes Additional steps to
Prevent Spread of Smallpox.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Nov. las a precau-
ton against the further spread of smallpox
in this city the public library has ceased
giving out books and will be virtually
closed to the public for a week or ten days.
This action was deemed expedient by the
School Board in view of the large number
of alleged smallpox cases in the city, which,
although none of them is serious, are caus-
ing much anxiety on the part of health Off
cials.
There are a dozen patients at the deten-
ton hospital and many more q~uarantined in
their homes. NJ. ii. Kennedy, a prominent
business man and former postmaster, is
suffering with the disease at his home on
North street. Within the past few weeks
the health authorities have been very vigil
liant in their efforts to stamp out the mall
ady and there is a decrease in the number
of new cases. Every school in the city has
been fumigated, the institutions being
closed for a day for the purpose. All stu
dents have been vaccinated and every other
precaution has been taken by the authori-
ties.
In West Lafayette a number of cases
have been reported and two of the patients
dismissed from the detention hospital to-
day were West Side residents. Three of
the pesthouse patients have been Purdue
students, but there has been no epidemic
among the university men.

POLICE HAVE The IRON
ROBBERS SMASHED A JEwELRY
STORE WINDOW FOR vALUABLEs.
Escaped with About $3.50 Worth of
Goods, Leaving Lafayette officers
the Fool They Worked With.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Nov. 7.-Shattering a
huge plate-glass window in the Eisenbach
jewelry store this morning. bold thieves
seized a number Of gold watches and other
articles valued at $3.50. boarded a passing
Monon freight train and escaped, although
the police are close on their trail. The
daring deed was probably committed by
Chicago crooks who came to the city on
a Monon freight. The window was broken
with a heavy piece of railroad iron, now in
the possession ef the police. The work
must have consumed no more than a few
seconds time.
The police AVE a theory, which is ac-
cepted as correct and which is substan-
tiated by later developments. They believe
that the thieves came through the city on
the southbound Monon freight train due
at Ais a. m. The police think the robbers
jumped off the front end Of the train, ran
over to the jewelry store, only 100 feet
away. committed the robbery and then
caught the rear end of the train. The en-
tire police force is at work on the robbery,
which is one OF the boldest that has come
10 the attention of the local authorities IN
years.
The watches taken were in the show
window, and a large tray of valuable rings
was overlooked. The damage to the win
dow is estimated at SIPS. A clew to the
robbers was furnished this morning by a
message from Romney. At 6 o'clock two
strangers were seen to leave the south
bound train which passed here earlier and
walk to Linden. One had a bundle under
his arm and the other had a satchel. An
other message from GreencaStle says there
were no tramps on the train when 1t
reached there, SO the Romney clew is con-
sidered valuable. a detective has gone to
Romney.

TREATMENT FOR ELECTRIC SHOCK
After Victim Is Apparently Dead for
Four Hours Life Can BE Restored.

Providence Journal.
That some persons apparently killed by
contact with high-tension electric wires can
be restored to consciousness and health by
proper treatment was proved here a few
days ago. Four hours after an accident sup
posed to be fatal a physician who was IA
miliar with the effects of electricity on the
human system was rewarded by the recov-
cry of a man who had received a full dis
charge from an electric lighting wire Ac-
cording TO the popular idea, one who does
not recover at once has been killed. This is
a mistaken view; and the physician who
pronounces a man 10 be dead fifteen minutes
after shock may be open to the charge OF
not having done all that Is necessary 10 save
life. One who has received a strong electric
current may Gle OF suffocation and should
be subjected to the treatment resorted TO In
cases of drowning. Suffocation caused by IL
Illuminating or acetylene gas is generally
fatal by reason of the destructive effect Of
the gas upon the animal economy. Sufroca-
ton by gas may be said to be accompanied
by intoxication. Asphyxiation without in
toxication, as il is described by physicians,
very frequently can be overcome by judi
cious and persistent treatment. and electric
shocks are included in the second class

A good story is told OF Captain Ross of
the Alexandra ferry line. When Captain
Ross was plotting the ferry he had a negro
fireman working on the boat, who at times
was affected with kleptomania. He was
a good-natured fellow, but he would con-
fscate everything he could lay his hands
upon, and consequently the pilot and engi-
neer OF the boat had TO be careful about how
they left their property lying around. One
morning Captain Ross missed a pair of new
shoes which he had left in the pilothouse
the evening before. He asked the negro if
he had seen the shoes. mo, sah,' said the
negro. II hain't seen yo' shoes" Notwith-
standing his denial, Captain Ross was con-
fdent that the fireman had the footwear.
He called the engineer and they laid a trap
for the negro. The next morning, when
Sam showed up, he was addressed by the
engineer, who said:
"Well, Sam. the cap'ns goin' to bring his
rooster down here
"Am dat 500" answered the darkey. "an'
TO- de Lawd's sake. what's he gwine to
bring his rooster hyah fog"
why, Sam. haven't you heard about the
mo, sah,' nswered the earkey, st hain't

well. this rooster continued the engi-
cap'n's missed anything about the house
he calls verybody in the house into one
room, then he points TO them one after
another. When he points at the right one
the rooster crows, and then he knows who
stole the missing article"
This seemed TO worry Sam a great deal.
That evening just before knocking off time.
he went Go the captain and said:
"Marse Joe. yo' amt got no rooster de-
tective, is yo'?"
Yes. Sam. 1 have" replied the captain.
well, yo' amt gwine to bring that roos-
ter down here, is yo'. cap'n?'

The captain then told Sam If the shoes
were returned he would not bring the roos-
ter down. The darkey agreed 10 this. The
next morning the captain received a small
