There he takes his good Mis-

Or. he tries Colorado and
slushes around in the mud, irri-
eating a strip Of mud bottom so
narrow that cow can't jump
in because she jumps over.
Then he hears Of Texas and
goes to hunt the bag OF gold a
the end of the rainbow.
In the daytime he scratches
the sand burrs out of his flesh
and at night the tarantula nib
bles his toes and the centipede
crawls over his face.
When his money is all gone
he begins to feel like he did the
first night he ever stayed away
from home.

this second Ohio river auod this
season. The January food was
a. feet inches. Thus are all rec

century-and there are none back
of that-do not tell of two such
foods. To be sure, we have had

remarkable.
All can say truly that the winter
of 1905 4 had many surprises In
store for the oldest resident. II

did for a low death rate. and high
prices for meats, poultry and her

Wall of Water

Along the river front Yesterday
a happening that attracted not
little attention was the trains on
the Ohio River blowing through a
stretch of water that covered the
track from the Windsor 70 the
Stamm house, to a depth of about
a foot. The engines would make a
start at full speed below Four,
teenth street and when they struck
the water they threw a wall of the
muddy fluid three and four feet
into the air, while the wheels OF
every ear that followed shot out
streams to a great distance on
either side of the track. No: 884o
engine with her freight was the
first to make the run, but was fol-
lowed later by several others and
transferring was not interrupted on
this branch of the road.-Wheeling

LandsIidss a Source
of Fear,

So far the Ohio River Dlvlsiou
OF the B. & o. Railroad has escaped
with but little trouble this season
In the way of landslides. but the
company Is expecting to eHcounter
slips at many points along the line
of the road at most any hour now
Extensive preparations have been
made to meet the distractions so as
they will cause as little delay as
possible to traffic.
There has been some small slips
on the Ohio River division, but
they nave as yet caused bat little
trouble. The officials of the road
are confident that they are about to
enter the greatest siege with the
land slides that they have ever had,
as 1t Is well known fact that the
ground Is frozen deeper now than
1t has been In years, and the sud-
den thaw that has followed canHot
help but loosen up great amount
of earth and allow 1t to slide down
the hillsides.

REPLIES TO Mr.. LODGE.
Senator Morgan Discusses the Panama
Question.

Washington, Jan. 8.-When the SEN
ate convened Mr.. Morgan took the
floor to answer the speechs of Mr.
Lodge On Mr.. Morgan's resolution de-
claring that neither the president, nor
the president and the senate as the
treaty making power of the United
States, has the lawful power to wage
or declare war against any foreign
power Without~the consent of congress,
when such power is at peace with the
United States"
Mr. Morgan remarked in opening
that he proposed 70 have the ayes and
noes on various propositions advanced
in his resolution; that the debate on
the resolution had not controverted
any of these propositions, nor had the
debate been directed to any question
touching upon the merits of the reso-
luton.
Mr.. Morgan described de facto,- de
jure and Independent governments
and, speaking of Panama, said indie
pendence was a lawful case for the
future and not dependent upon the
recognition by the United States of a
de facto government on the isthmus.
He said the president was not justi
fed in making facts to give him the
right to recognize government best
suited to his purpose.

CANAL TREATY IN COMMITTEE
Democratic Members Suggest Several
Amendments.

AIHCIOInCHISs
Washington, Jan. 8.-The senate
committee on foreign relations during
the day continued consideration of
the Panama canal treaty. The docu-
ment was taken up for consideration
section by section and when the com.
mittee adjourned at noon eight sec!
tions had been read and discussed.
The Democratic members suggested a
number of amendments intended to
strengthen and make more absolute
the control of the United States over
the canal. None of these changes was
definitely acted on, but they were all
noted and the Republican members
indicated willingness to give them
careful consideration
There was some discussion of the
general policy of amending the treaty
and the Republican members assured
their Democratic colleagues that the
majority had no intention of standing
out against alterations where they
might seem desirable. On the other
hand they expressed their willingness
to make changes which would i'm.
prove the treaty and it was generally
agreed that under the present circum.
stances this government would be able
to secure any terms which might be
considered requisite to secure ratifica.
tiOn of the treaty
