River Men Counting the
Days Till the Ice Goes Out.

These are the days when the river
man saunters down to the river bank
and gazes longingly out over the fro
zen surface of the great waterway.
The prospect is bleak and barren
enough at present, but the time is
close at hand when the balmy breez-
es from the south and the warm rays
of the sun, which is now far on it's
northward journey, will make short
work of crystal armor, and great ISL
ands of ice will rush southwark. 1t
is for this metamorphosis that the
river man yearns, and he is counting
the days that must elapse before the
river is freed from the grip of the ice
king, and navigation is opened. Csu-
ally the middle of March marks the
opening of the river season in this To-
cality. but it is two weeks later. as
general thing, before the black ice
which clothes the surface of Lake
Pepin. floats into the channel of the
river. to be born southwark until it
dissolves in the rays of the sun.
The breakup of the ice is.an annual
event of some little Importance in the
average upper Mississippi river town.
For days before the action of the rap
id current undermines the congealed
surface of the river and sends it whirl-
ing and grinding southwark the people
look riverward for the first perceptible
movement in the frozen stream. Usu-
ally the ice remains stationary until it
is completely honeycombed, the piers
and bridges holding it firmly in place.
This no doubt will be the case this
spring. as the extreme cold weather of
the river has frozen the ice to a depth
of over two feet. As the weather
grows warmer the ice changes in col
or. 1t grows darker and darker. and
its surface is covered with pools of
water Long before this stage is
reached, however, the teams and foot
passengers have ceased to use il as a
thoroughfare. and these take to the
structures intended for that purpose.
The ice bridge is no longer safe.
Then, some fine day in March the
news goes about that the ice is NOV
ing. At first there is scarcely a per-
ceptible movement of the vast body
of frozen water. but the people hurry
down TO the river to assure themselves
that the ice has really started. After
a little great rents or assures appear,
sometimes extending entirely across
the river. and soon low rumbling
sound proceeds from the river as the
moving ice grinds together, upheaving
in places to the height Of several feet.
and greater pieces falling into the
water. The ice has Eow fairly started.
and were it not for the fact that the
bridges intervene, il soon would be
tumbling, rolling and turning on its
Journey to the southward Great
blocks, however. are caught by the
piers of the bridges. and the ice IS
gorged, sometimes to the very bottom
cf the river.
As the inhabitant of the upper river
town well knows, it is a great sight to

winning of the championship.
On motion Of Delegate Brocglehank.

decided upon for juniors, to be called

thousands of tons of it. and the won
der is that the stone piers can with.
stand the great weight which is thrust
violently against them by the swift
current. The exit of the ice is ac-
companied by grinding, roaring
noise.
The duration of time before the great
bulk has passed depends of course
on local conditions. Usually. however,
few struggling bergs are all that are
left of the ice within three or four
days of the breakup. In week these

true that he may only have an oppor-

often; but he loves the river and the

NEW IOWA LINES
Rock Island Road Plans Con.
struction of Two important
Connecting Links.
END AT KEoKUK AND OMAHA
Storehouse at New Shops Largest in
the World, Says the Rail-
way Age.

An air line from WatertOwn, 5. D.,
to st. Louis is the latest scheme of the
Rock Island Railroad company, ac-
cording to information that seems re-
liable. This project will be completed
when the proposed line is built from
Keokuk to St. Louis, following the
left bank of the river for the entire
distance. As is known, the part of
the line from Watertown to Burling-
ton already exists, and as the old IL
line has been secured from that city
to Keokuk, the building of the road
from Keokuk to st. Louis will COM
plete the entire distance. The stretch
is about 200 miles. but it is said Will
be easy of construction. the general
topography and contour of the coun-
try being such that rapid progress can
he made.
Recently 40 bunk cars passed
through this city for Burlington,
where they are now awaiting the
opening of the building season, when
these. as well as hundreds Of others,
win be the home of countless dagoes

BIBLE
TRAINING
SCHOOL
Is tn. Object of Movement Now on
Foot-Mr. Stout Explains
the Object.

We think the most profitable ana
practical Of all books IS the Bible. The
great poets shnl sspaare and NiiItnn--
ware trained in IL from childhood. ia
eTcatest Of statesmen, such as Wash.
ington. Adams, Webster and Giadstone
were daily dilig,nt students Of it. Sir
Isnac Newton was an ardent believer IN
and student Of it. OF course. the Bool;
which the Eternal God mas written for
The cducation and development of man
is the very best in the world for tac
purpose. And hence nations arc civiiiz
ed. enligntcnei and refined in the exact
proposition. in which this Holy Book j.
read, Believed and followed by their
citizens = OF the Bible students who
have bsan mentioned by name in tai=
paragraph one is conceded to be tn
greatest Of MI uninspired writers; an.
other as the nutaor of poems; another
rs "Thc Father Of His Conntry,;' nm.
other was nthe congress rs tine oil
Man Eloquent; another as perhaps TN
greatest statesman since tine days Of
Solomon; another was known tarouyl
out tnr world as 'gThe Grand Old Man; "
and the last mentioned laid one of tt,
chief foundation stones. on which All
the vast structures of the modern ma
terialistic sciences rest And not one Of
tnesa men could have been what ne was.
had it not been for the study of this
grandcst and most wonderful of all
the Bible. No other study is 50
fitted TO develop a man in body, soul
and spirit. and to what better use can
some of the surplus money in this state
he put than to erect Bible Training
School, for the snke of the many boys
and girls that are idle in West virginia'
BY proper training they may grow up
TO be useful men and women.
We think the scnool should be built
in the neighborlood, where the people
are tine most interested in it. and. in
order to find ous who are interested.
we nave decided to let each ono that
pays as much rs one dollar to have a
vote as to where the school should he
located. Tickets have been struck for
that purpose. and those who take sub.
scriptions for the school. win nave tick
sts with them, and The party can fill ont
a ticket pay his money, or fill ont n
note on 3. G. . Of IL months for as muca
as he wishes to pay. and tho note can
be put in the bank. and he can 60 to
the bank AMI pay the money any time
he wishes to. This way viii save TIM
in hunting up taose who signed AMI
save lots of bother.
Those who take subscriptions will NJ
