WAGON GOES DOWN
In SEWER DITCH
teenth Street Cuts Away Filling
and Causes Accident.

A wagon load of corn was sunk to
it's hubs in mud and water in the very
heart of town today as the result of
the breaking Of a water main. The
wagon belonged to r. G. Benson, the
grain dealer, and it was being driven
into his feed barn on Seventeenth
street when the accident occurred.
Just as the front wheels of the wagon
struck the place where the excavation
for the sewer on Seventeenth street
was made, the pavement seemed TO
sink away from under the wagon, and
in an instant the hubs of the wheels
were just visible above the paving. 1t
was found that water main had bro
ken and washed the loosely packed
earth away from under the filled-in
portion of the street. Some time had
TO be spent before the wagon was re-
moved and the filling in with Sshes
was completed

RIVER FROZEN

Old Mississippi lndulges in Stunts
That Break the Record Since
1851.
DUE TO LOW STAGE OF WATER
Gorges Below Check Flow When There
Is Slight Lowering of Tempera-

While the fact appears to have been

has set new record this winter in the
matter of freezing itself over-another
evidence of the unstableness of things
in these later days.
No less than four times has the
river frozen up since the first of the
heretofore having been three freeze
ups, according to records in the office
of f. F.. Robbins. superintendent of the
Rock Island bridge, which go back to
1851. Frequently the river has closed
twice in winter, but only once before
has it closed three times. That was in
1891, when it performed all sorts of
evolutions within months time
Then it closed first Feb. 1, opened Feb
10, closed Feb. %. opened Feb. "a, clos
ed Feb. 25, and finally opened March IL

Even this has been outdone the pres

apart with great regularity. Judging
by other seasons, it would not be sur
prising if there should be one or two
more breakups and freezes.
Is a Renson for 1t.
OF course there is a reason for the
apparent lack of consistency of the
big stream, and it is to be found in
the low stage of water and the soft"
weather that has prevailed. With the
water too low for ordinary steamboat
navigation, the ice drags on the bot
tom and finally gorges in the shallow
channels, thus becoming anchor" ice.
In this way great gorges were formed
at different points below the city which
no ordinary thaw could remove. With
these conditions prevailing each cold
snap which fills,.the river with floating
ice results in another jam. Then the
stage of water rises and the current
is slowed to such an extent that the
river quickly closes.

The gorge which accompanied the
present freeze has again raised the
water to a stage near the point it
reached couple of weeks ago. The
result is that the power plant at Rock
Island arsenal is again handicapped
and it has been necessary to pay off
part of the force i'll the armory shops

Victory Is Permanent

Following so closely the defeat of
the Parker-Times alliance in the re-
cent charter amendment election, when
the citizens adopted the direct pri-
mary, abolished ward lines and
voted other measures that assure clean
government. the victory over the ma
chine today is hailed as permanent,
and is believed to mean the elimina-
tion of the corrupt organiza ton as
the controlling force in municipal af-
fairs.
, Finding itself unable to put candi-
date in the field against Alexander for
the election of March 26, the machine's
only hope now is to obtain an injunc-
tion restraining the city authorities
from holding an election.
Even if they succeed in this they
have gained but slight advantage, for
Stephens, who is just as acceptable to
the recall forces as is Alexander. would
continue in office until the courts have
decided the issue.
Indications are, however, that the
defeat of the machine will be accom-
plished, that the recall election will
be held. Alexander chosen and the tri-
umph of the clean government forces
will be complete.
