Destruction caused by the present floods
recalls times when high water was not
confined to districts below the city. but
when the Levee here was flooded and when
the boats found no difficulty in landing
their careoes at the foot of the various
streets. Memorable are the great floods of
1874 and 1858. in which the river reached the
highest stages here ever known.
The high water of 1S5s is especially well
remembered here and probably the sole
photo which exists of the Levee at that
period is now in the possession of Emil
Cherie. the barber at No. l2S Olive street,
who has occupied that site, or one imme-
diateiy opposite. for more than forty-five
years: In the course of the great food in
o.. Mr. Cherie took one of the few photos
of the Levee. which is now published.
AT that time the water in the local chan
mel measured 36 feet inches, the highest,
with but one exception, ever recorded here.
Boats came directly to the streets to land
their cargo, and some were able to swing

when he killed King Claudius. This wa, the
verdict returned by the jury in the uni
day afternoon.
Hamlet was not insane when he killed his
uncle, said the jury. nor did he xiii him in
self-defense The Danish Prince was melted
to sudden passion by King Claudius and
Laertes. and in this burst of fury killed the
King.
Henceforth. instead Of being king Of the
stage and hero OF literature. Hamlet m,,st
occupy a prison cell at Fort Madison. and
a goodly portion OF his princely fortune
may. be taken from him by fire to the use
of the State of Iowa. His only hope of es-
cape from this degradation is that his at
torneys may convince Justice H. E. Deemer
of the Supreme bench of Iowa that error
was committed in the trial. which was con-
Quoted under his direction, with careful at
tention to the correctness of procedure. as
directed by the Iowa Criminal Code.
The verdict that Hamlet was not insane

Joy to literary critics. who are weli-night
unanimous In pronouncing his actions to be

EDISON HOLDS PATENT RECORD
Wizard Has Secured Protection on
791 Inventions.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Washington, March 1.-THE fertile brain
OF Thomas A. Ellison continues to be the
source of the greatest amazement to the
clerks and officials of the Patent Office. who
have In charge the work OF looking after
the applications placed on file by this in
ventor.
On the 3lst Of this month Mr.. Edison will
have obtained 791 patents from the Patent
Office on as many inventions. a larger num-
Der by several hundreds than any other
Individual has received in the history of the
Office.
This remarkable record was ascertained
by j. w. Babson. chief of the division Of
Issue and Gazette of the Patent Office, who
has made a tabulated statement of the In
ventions OF Mr.. Edison. From this state
ment 1t would appear that, prior to 1895 the
inventor had obtained Ill patents. and that
since that time. he has received the fol-
Lowing numbers: In 1896, three patents; in
1881. two patents; in 1888. eight patents: in

One boat was actually able to proceed
few feet up Olive street, her gang plank
extending half way up to what is now Main

along the river front were flooded, the
water standing three feet deep in most OF
them
There was no trestle in those days. and
the high water enabled the boats to come
close up TO the foot Of the streets as shown
in the accompanying photo. The wharf.
boats could be dispensed with altogether, II

charge their freight on the wharfboats. the
goods being thence carried across on tenn
porary bridges.

Cherie was probably the only follower Of

AS an illustration of the difficulties under
which the picture taker of those days la

that instead of the abstinence from

comfort be practiced, the sovereign

Fiftieth Anniversary Of Ma

Be Observed.

The semi centennial anniversary Of
the organization of the grand lodge of
MaSons of Minnesota will be held in
conjunction with the regular annual
meeting of the grand lodge in the Ma
sonic hall, near the Windsor hotel, Feb.
"a, when 228 lodges throughout the
state will be represented by at least
three representatives making a total
of fully 1000 persons in all.
The past year has been an exceed
ingly prosperous one in Masonic cir
cles. In Minnesota eleven lodges have
been organized within the past six
months, and a growth Of 1000 has
marked the year.
The present membership of the state
is 1850, and the receipts for the past
fiscal year were 81, 200.
One of the most important matters
to be preached at the grand lodge
meeting will be that of a Minnesota
Masonic home. 1t has long been agi-
tated in the fraternity, and it is hoped
that at this meeting something definite
will be done.

GALVIN-LANE PEACE
LASTS JUST. ONE HOUR
Brothers in-Law Forget Their Armis-
tice and Beat Each Other Up.

Just one hour after Mathew Calvin
and Mike Lane, brothers-in-law, had
signed peace bonds in the municipal
court last Wednesday, in which they
pledged themselves to refrain from
any further conduct which could be
considered a breach of the peace, they
were engaged in an encounter, in which
each one was endeavoring to put the
other out CT business with short-arm
Jabs, uppercuts and solar plexus blows.
AS result of the encounter, both men
were before Judge Hine again yester-
day.
When the case was called for trial,
Mrs. Mathew Calvin was introduced as
sister of Mike Lane. and was asked
to testify against Calvin.
We'll, he is my husband" said Mrs.
Calvin, but he doesn't support me, and
he won't behave as a husband should.
Because Of the manner in which he
treats me, he and my brother have
many fights" The GaIvins live at 452
East Seventh street, and Lane has
been stopping there. Judge Hine dis
missed both of the men, but advised
Lane to keep away from the Calvin
home hereafter.

CLAIMS HE WAS BURNED
BY X-RAY TREATMENT
William HensIin Will Have to Show
Extent of His Injuries.

Before William Henslin can prose-
cute his personal injury damage suit
for $22,500 against Wheaton, Rogers &
Dennis, physicians, he will have to
submit to an examination and show
whether or not he was injured by the
use of an X-ray machine, which was
used by the defendants for the pur-
pose Of locating a gold crown which
Henslin had swallowed.
Henslin claimed that the treatment
he had received at the hands of the
defendants who submitted him to the
X-ray treatment resulted in burns on
his body and permanent injuries, for
which he brought suit for damages.
At special term Of the district
court yesterday application was made
to Judge Lewis to appoint some re-
putable physician to examine Henslin
that the defense might learn the extent
and nature of his injuries and be pre-
pared to properly prepare a defense.
Henslin, it is understood, has refused
to submit to such an examination. and
now he will be compelled to upon or
der of the court. The defendants say
that Henslin was not injured by their
treatment at all.

will be observed, If at all possible, in
all the churches and chapels on the
Friday evenings throughout Lent.
During Lent pastors will hold spe-
cial exercises Of devotion In their sew
eral churches at appointed times. In
structions of a practical character
upon the Christian duties, the nature
Of the sacraments, and the prepara-
ton for their reception, should be given
on those occasions.
The observance Of the fasts and alb
stinences prescribed by the church is
taken as a public and fearless profess
sion Of Catholic faith. He who, with
out sufficient or obvious reasons, eats
meat or takes his usual meals, when
abstinence or fasting is enjoined, be-
comes an occasion Of scandal, and is
not accepted as practical Catholic.
Let Catholics, therefore, have the
courage Of self-denial for the sake of
Christ and of their own souls, and be
on their guard lest by their acts scam
dial be given, and the fair name of their
religion be dishonored.
