The Farmers Institute.

There no doubt will be a large at
tendance of farmers at the institute
advertised to be held in Mankato Thea
tire, March Is and 10. These Institutes
are not only the source from which a
GREAT deal of needful information can
be obtained, but they are productive
of much entertainment and pleasure for
those who attend as well. The state
paws the expense of these Institutes and
Mankato furnishes the meeting place.
The instructors are all well versed IN
their subjects and those who listen to
the addresses certainly cannot help but
receive a great deal of help in the
science of agriculture.

ALLEGHENY RIVER is
IN DANGEROUS SHAPE

PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 6.-Not in
the history Of the present generation
have the conditions in the Allegheny
river been so alarming The ice is
gorged at intervals for nearly fifty
miles Almost continuously from
Tarantum to Templeton, distance of
about ffty-thre miles, the river bed
is dotted with gorges ranging from
five to fifteen feet in height From
Kitanning to Templeton the center of
the river is a great ridge of ice five
feet high, while from the ridge to
bank the river Is frozen soliGly with
thirteen inches of ice.
The oldest river men in this section
say they have never seen the river in as
dangerous a condition. A sudden thaw
or rain Will break the ice above the
large goIRes at Rosston and Spring
dale and with the mass above strain
ing against those gorges all property
in the vicinity will be threatened.
Below these points the river men
are in state Of anxiety, fearing that
the greatest flood in the history of the
river will follow a general break up.
