Sheet and Pillow
 Slip Social Dance

Saturday being Halloween night the ladies of the city arranged for a sheet and pillow slip dance, which was huge success.
 Nearly all the ladies and 8 great many gentlemen were present in cos tune, and the ghostly raiment seemed to add to the enjoyment of those who were impersonating the shades. At 12 o'clock 8 lunch was served in the hall, which was enjoyed by all, after which the thoroughly satisfied people wended their way homeward.

America surpass them all in wonder
full measure. Naturally the accumula-
ton of ice during the glacial period
began at the north, and early clogged
up the great lines of drainage which
lead in that direction, while, after the
ice had reached its farthest limit and
began to melt back, the northerly di-
rection of the drainage could not be
resumed until the ice had all melted
away. Thus for long periods the drain
age of the great lakes, which now
passes down the st. Lawrence river,
was turned over to swell the volume
of the Susquehanna and the Ohio
rivers, while all the drainage that now
enters Hudson bay was turned over
into the valley of the Missouri and the
Mississippi. This, anyone can see
from slight study of the map, must
have been the case. 1t has been a
most interesting work to geologists to
find these actual outlets of glacial
drainage, and to trace the effects of
this great addition of volume to the
south-fowing streams of the north.
In general the effects of this great
increase of the volume of the water
poured into the valleys OF the con-
necticut, Hudson, Susquehanna, Allie
gheny, Ohio. Mississippi and Missouri
rivers are evident in the extensive
gravel terraces which line the. banks
of all these streams and of their
northern tributaries.
The terraces of the Connecticut
river have long been famous, consist
ing of deposits of gravel and sand ris-
ing upon either bank of the river from
30 to 100 feet or more above present
high water mark. In the Hudson val
ley they exist as brick clays, extensive
ly worked in various places above
New York city, but spreading out into
extensive gravel deposits where the
Hudson river comes out from the
Adirondack mountains The sandy
plains of Saratoga were spread out
during that stage of the glacial period.

ing there an opening from the Maui
NEE into the Wabash river about a
mile wide, revealing an abandoned
river channel, which is still almost as
distinct as when the mighty current
of Niagara, made its exit to the sea-
A similar abandoned channel exists
southwest of Chicago, leading from
Lake Michigan into the Illinois river.
This too is about mile in width, with
level bottom and sharply outlined
sides, through which the glacial drain
age poured in even greater torrents
than at Fort Wayne. For a while,
however, it was merely the outlet of
limited lake at the south end of Lake
Michigan. But as the ice retreated
from the lower peninsula of Michigan
it uncovered a channel from Saginaw
bay into Lake Michigan 100 feet lower
than that at Fort Wayne. Whereupon
the water was diverted from that
channel and all carried away by the
Saginaw bay. Lake Michigan and Chi
cago river outlet. The shore line of
the glacial lake formed at this stage
of glacial recession can be traced as
distinctly as a railroad embankment

of Buffalo around the south and west
shores of Lake Erie to the head wa
ters of Saginaw bay, where it opens by
perfectly distinct channel into Grand
river. Euclid avenue, in the city of
Cleveland, is built upon this shore
line. The great drainage canal from
Chicago into the Illinois has availed

Ice is rock At any rate, so long
as it lasts it performs all the functions
of rock. AS one steams up the Yukon
river he will often see ahead of him a
forest growing upon a high bank with
precipitous face which at first sight
would seem to be the enduring rock
of the region. But upon near ap.
proach it will turn out to be an ice
cliff covered with few feet of soil
which has been washed out upon it in
sufficient quantity to support vegeta-
ton. Large forests are growing upon
the Malaspina glacier in Alaska, sew
eral miles back from it's front. and
where the ice is 1000 feet thick under
it. In numerous places in the vicinity
water may be found running both upon
the surface of the ice and along a
high elevation between the ice and
the adjoining highland or mountain
chain which hens 1t in. Large lakes
of water are also found at high eleva-
tions where they are held in by ice
barriers. Where these barriers sud
denly burst through, as they some
times do, tremendous floods of water
devastate the valley below. The Matt

bodies of water held up behind alpine

less than 80 feet.
Before the ice had melted from
the Mohawk valley there was an enor-
nous amount of glacial drainage car
ried off through the Finger lakes and
over the higher passes leading into
the Susquehanna valley. The stream
passing through Seneca lake over the
site of Watkins and entering the sus-
quehanna at Horseheads was specially
noteworthy; while the marks of the
glacial floods in the Susquehanna val
ley are clearly seen at Harrisburg and
other places farther down.

Before the ice had melted from CEN
trail New York the drainage of the
great lakes was held up to the level of
the passes from Lake Erie and Lake
Michigan leading over into the valley
of the Mississippi. At first, before the
ice had melted off from northern Mich
igan, where the lakes are united, there
were several independent outlets.
These can be easily traced from Lake
Chautauqua down Conewango creek
into the valley of the Allegheny, and
down French creek to similar desti-
nation, and from Grand river in Ohio
into the Mahoning at Warm, reaching
the Ohio, through Beaver creek, 25
miles below Pittsburg. The Ohio river
all the way down is lined with gravel
terraces, frequently rising more than
100 feet above the river, which furnish
building sites for the most of the cities
along its course. Fourth street in Gin
cinnati is on one of these terraces, 120
feet above the river.
AS the ice was slowly retreating
over the area occupied by Lake Erie
back to the Niagara escarpment, the
main outlet for the ever-increasing
glacial lake was through an opening
at Fort Wayne, Ind, leading into the
Wabash river and thence into the
Ohio. This outlet is 200 feet above
the present level of the lake. Conse-
quently the water submerged all the
land on the south and west sides OF
the lake below that level. The shore

Clearly Esslngton could make out no case. The
ground had been cut from under his feet by his own
initiative but he made his struggle like trout that
with the hook in his mouth still fights for liberty.

She smiled discreetly. He had said almost the

with Governor Campbell relative to
the state executive drawing the re-
mainder of the 100000 allowed the
state of Texas by the federal govern

claim of Texas and finally had it al
lowed by both branches of congress.
The state paid for service between the
years mentioned and saw to it that
peace was maintained along the wild
border. The 100000 returned to Tex
as is to reimburse this state for that
service, it having been the duty Of

THE THEATRE SEASON
Starts In New York, Despite the In
tense Heat.

New York, Aug. 16.-Although it is
still straw hat time and the crowds are
sweltering along the Great White
Way, the theatrical world is begin
ming to whirl again in preparation for
the autumn business. In fact the
first of the productions intended for
fall attractions at the Broadway thea
res have made their appearance and
the melo-drama houses along Third
and Eighth avenues have begun to
open. To be sure, these hot nights
the roof gardens are extremely popu-
lar, but there is always theatre
hungry crowd in New York that will
endure the heat in a stuffy theatre if
the show is attractive. Several of the
vaudeville houses are offering new
"Salome' dances and each one is at
tempting to create just a bit more of
a sensation than the other. Just how
long the Salome craze will last is
matter of great speculation, but it is
probable that as the days get cooler
the vice squad under the strenuous
leadership of Anthony Comstock will
become more vigilant and many of the
more sensational dancers will either
have to modify their performances or
abandon the dance altogether.

Are Expected.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 1T.-Retribu-
tory measures are now being planned
against the leaders of the mobs and
riots in this city. Prosecutor Hatch
has asked for a special session of the
grand jury, and it is expected that at
least two hundred indictments will be
returned. Many mob leaders have
been arrested, and several are said to
have turned states evidence, impli-
eating others. The grand jury will
convene tomorrow, and will first con-
slider the case of the negro Richards
son, and then will take up the case of
the rioters. Five thousand soldiers
are now in complete control of the
city, and no outbreaks are expected
unless they are of minor Importance.
1t is not known what may happen
when the troops are withdrawn later.
