BREAKS THROUGH ICE.
Lee TannehiH Takes a Bath in the
Ohio River.


Cincinnati. Feb. S.-Threatened
with pneumonia following his narrow
escape from drowning in the Ohio
river while skating, Lee Tannehill,
third baseman of the Chicago Ameri-
can league club. is confined to his
shanty boat home near here. 1t was
said last night that he was dying, but
those who have visited him since his
icy bath and his physician declare
there is no immediate danger.
TannehilPs escape from death was
miraculous. In company with a num-
Der of friends he attempted to cross
the Ohio river on the ice and broke
through when Just about half way
over and at point where the under
current is so strong as to mean almost
certain death to any one caught in it.
Cakes of ice were battering his
head, but Tannehill made a plucky
fight for life and at last succeeded in
getting hold of solid ice. to which his
glove froze fast. When he reached
the Kentucky shore he was almost
exhausted and had to be carried to
his shanty boat, which is moored near
his home in Dayton, KY. All night he
was half delirious. but later reports
from Dayton are to the effect that the
popular third baseman shows a little
Improvement. His brother is con-
stantly at his bedside.

There were $50 wells drilled in the
Kansas-Territory fields in January and
the new production was estimated at
$3.50 barrels. The Oil City Derrick's
report says there were 151 competitions
and 6.933 barrels new production If
the Derrick had gotten all the wells ac-
counted for, at the same rate the new

been nearly $4,000 barrels. The Re

Popular Bryan Young Lady
for Ills Bride.

"The first day OF a finished ere.
alton was n bridal day. Then the
Lord God took the woman and led
her 10 the man and she became his
wife. Marriage therefore comes to
US from the purity of paradise with
the smile of God upon IL. IL re-
ceived also the sanction of our
Savior when upon earth both in His
attendance upon marriage festivities
and the words He speaks concerning
the sacredness of the marriage life
The first bridal chamber was
paradise where the dainty hands OF
nature had decorated the walls with
garIands OF flowers. IL was by the
side of a brook which ran rythuic To
two hearts, sending convoy of love
TO their souls. The light upon the
marriage altar was sunshine from
IA shadowless world, the wedding
march was played by the silent
voice of nature and the minstrelsy
Of paradise burst forth in sweet
encore; even the birds sang the do
nestle symphony OF the new-made
home, but God Himself was the
sponsor who gave the bride away.
You come seeking in this union
your higher happiness. Let me
charge you that happiness in this
can only be- attained as you
