PARKER.

Parker, Idaho, Feb. 17.-On the
9th and 10th inst Our Dramatic
Company played " Rio Grande'.
The first night was for the benefit
of the Sunday school The next
was for the company. There was
very poor turnout and they
scarcely made expenses. This IS
poor encouragement for local talent.
Mr. A. d. Miller is home from
La Grande, Ore, and expects to
remain here for awhile.
Mr.. Mark Austin, superintend-
ent of the Sugar Factory, was here
last week, receiving and paying for
the material that is on the ground
for the sugar plant.
On the 18th of this month the
stockholders of the Egin Canal Co.
meet to take action on the PROPOSE
ton to allow the Sugar Company
to run water through their canal
after the irrigation season. 1t
takes two-t thirds ma jority to do
this, and it developed at the meet
ing that there were some who are
opposed to this and through mis-
representation, they had gained
votes enough to defeat the object of
the meeting, but there are arrange
ments on foot that will thwart the
designs of the opposition. The real
cause of opposition i'll some of
them is they don't like the Nor
mons. and in others, they don t
like Parker because they would not
go on strike against the Bell Tele-
phone company, and they would
destroy one of the greatest indus
tries that was ever brought into the
country because of their hatred and
petty spite, but the Sugar plant
will be erected and they will ge'
the water out of the Egin Canal

Special to Times-Republican.
Clinton, Dec. S1.-The construction
company that built the cutoff between
Burlington and Thompson, and mad so
much trouble in making roadbed over
two or three big peat beds, will have
to do a large amount of the work over
again, as the Burlington company,
which ran a train over the new line,
has notified the construction company
that it will not accept the track. The
rails sagged to such an extent that the
couplings were wrenched off num-
Der of cars, and the train was brok-
en- UP. The railway company had
moved its East Clinton telegraph office
to Fenton and had abandoned the old
line thru Fulton. However, it moved
the office back to Clinton and will not
attempt to use the new line again until
spring.

TO CLEAN up wHlTEcHAPEL.

Officials Of Burlington Railway Would
Redeem That Part OF City.
Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Dec. 31.-Officials Of the
darlington railway, who, thru the en-
ergies of '.Bill' Richards, once cleaned
out Whitechapel are now unalterapiy
onnosed to that section Of the city be-
ing again used for the purpose OF
which it was formerly put. 1t is claim
ed that James Harrison, the Burlington
detective, who has been In the city LOT
several days running down coal thlev-
es has also secured considerable lnIor-
nation relative to the Whitechapel dis
trict, and this information Will be lalo
before officials If an effort is MADE TO
re-establish the old redlight street
south of the Burlington tracks. A part
of the information was secured by local
detectives who have laid out nights
watching colored people go to and from
the houses now in South Fourth street.
This leaked out yesterday afternoon
when an exciting incident was told.
Detectives Sims and Brothers were
hiding under the shadow of a car one
night recently awaiting the return OF
Whitechapel negroes. Suddenly from
the car there came a bombardment.
Great lumbs Of black coal were thrown
out upon the officers severely and sew
eral bruises were the result. Before
the officers could get their equilibrium
the men who had done the work es-
capped. Several shots were fired and
there has been no more robbing Of cars
in that section Of the city since.
The officers of the Burlington hold
that the establishment Of White
chapel along old lines, would necessi-
tate the placing Of special detectives to
watch their cars. Even then they
say, much stealing would occur which
they would be unable to prevent.

FELL INTO KETTLE

Special tc Times Republican.
Dubuque, Dec. 31.-While playing
about a big kettle of boiling water In
the home of her widowed mother. at
Rock Cut Thursday afternoon the j.
year-old Mcmahon girl baby fell into
the pot and was horribly scalded.
The hot water was being prepared
to scald hogs. 1t is customary to scala
the animals before cutting them up
to remove the hair, etc. The water had
been over fire for couple of hours
and was at q high temperature. The
little one wandered about the house
and with childish curiosity sought to
investigate the steam. Her desire to
learn was saddened by the awful &C
cident.
She slipped into the receptacle and
the screams that followed awakened
the bystanders. The child had hardly
fallen into the liquid than strong AMI
loving arms lifted her, scalded and
suffering, out of impending death and
carried her into the house.
A physician was Immediately sum-
moned and the burned baby was hut
ried to Mercy hospital.
One remarkable and fortunate fact
of the injury is her face was not dis
figured. The scalding water touched
and burned the tender skin of her body
but it did not mar the childish beauty
of her face.
DR.. Becker, who is the physician in
attendance, is hopeful for the injured
girls recovery.

Sudden Break Up of the Ice on
the Mississippi Brings Peril
to Many
OUT WITHOUT WARNING
River soIidIy Frozen One Day and
Mass of Floating Ice Cakes the Next
Terrible Struggle of One Man
Caught in Mid stream-News of
Iowa.

Davenport, Dec. 81. = Old rivermen
say they never knew the ice to be fro
zen as solidly as 1t was wednesday and
then to move out next day. The pres
ent heavy rise probably accounts for 1t.
Thursdays movement came SO unex-
pectedly that the efforts Of men caught
out on the ice foes to reach terra firma
formed one of the exciting events OF
the day.
A Davenport young man was
caught in midstream when the Ice
broke and went out He had started
from the Davenport shore, near the
west end, and was just little over
half way across when the break oc-
Cured.
He was in the swiftest current, and
his position seemed to promise moth
ing but death. Realizing his danger,
he started on a run for the Rock ISL
and shore, but soon discovered that
to go in that direction was to be car
ried into the channel at the draw OF
the Crescent bridge.
He turned and ran the other way,
and his movements had by this time
attracted the attention of the people
along the banks who had gathered
to watch the movement of the ice.
Tho aware of the mans danger, no one
could give him any help, for the Ice
was running, in great slabs, grinding
together with force that would crush
any boat to splinters.
The man could be seen, running a
cross a cake of ice, to be thrown. to his
face near the edge. He would gather
himself UP, make dash, and land on
the next piece of ice, often falling as
he landed
1t was flight that held GREATNESS
those who watched 1t, and as the
stranger would rise and make dash
across the ice after fall, a sigh oil
relief would be heard from those on
the bank. He finally reached the
shore.

SON. said Hardin to Chief Deneen, as
he pointed out the fellow. He is the
smoothest short change man that you
ever saw"
One of the best jobs Robinson was
ever accused Of putting up, occurred In
a leading botel at Hot Springs, where
he spent winter before last. Quietly
he packed up $4,000 worth of Persian
rugs and had prepared to leave the
city with them when he was held by
the public authorities. In this, as IN
other cases. he. squared it" by agree
ing never again to appear in Hot
Springs. Police are afraid Of man
like Robinson, and there is strong
tendency to let them move on provided
they will give their word never to
come back. 1t Is also true that cases
against men as smooth as Tom Robin
son are hard to make.
