7. M. C. A. BUILDING
is FLOODED BY RAIN
Water Seeps Through Crevices, En-
tering DorInitory, Office Rooms
and Gymnasium.

That the old Y. NJ c. A building az
Nineteenth street and Third avenue is
sadly in need of repairs can be seen
by any one who visits the antiquated
building after a rain storm. This
morning some of the dormitory rooms
were flooded with water, which had
seeped through crevices The water
leaked out into the ONCE rooms also.
There is a small stream of water in
the gymnasium after each rain, and
this morning large pools covered parts
of the floor. It is difficult for the Off
GERS of the association to contend with
such conditions and properly carry on
the association work Before the gym
nasium can be used 1t will be necessary
to mop up the water, and if the rain
should continue long enough class work
will have to be confined to a very small
part OF the floor space.

ICE MOVEMENT FROM
NORTH FILLS RIVER
Section OF Government Shear Boom
Carried Down Stream-No
Trace of 1t.

From noon till about O'Clock to-
day. the Mississippi at this point was
filed with floating ice, which indicates
that there is a movement further
north. The river is now clear as far
north as Clinton
The old section Of shear boom, own
ed by the government, which was
grounded last spring on the sand bar
below Rock Island arsenal, was car
ried down the river by the ice, and so
far no trace Of it has been found. The
other two sections, which were left in
position at the government bridge, be-
cause of the impossibility of floating
them to a harbor on account Of the low
stage Of water were upset by the ice,
and somewhat damaged The loss is
small.
The stage of water at the govern
ment bridge at noon today was 7:70.
This was not caused by back water,
for as far as can be learned there are
no ice dams formed in the lower NV
er. Recent heavy rains in the north,
are directly responsible for the pres
ent stage. The rains have been
heavy. and as the frost is still in the
ground, but little of the rain is alb
sorbed by the ground, and so finds
its way to the river Without these
rains the water would have been very
low, and some trouble might have re-
suited. The stage will continue to
rise. or will remain at about the same
level, as long as the rain continues. 1t
will be a matter of only a few days
till the river will be practically clear
of large fields of Ice, unless a freezing
cold spell Of any length should inter
vene.

fire calls into the stations. Each
separate box has it's own number and
1t designates a certain territory so

a block of where the fire is before
they leave their stations. In num-

in. the general public will be bet

the ward is designated and this does
not aid very much in determining
where the hre is at. The blowing
will be done as follows: A call comes

Miss Newman ElOCutiOniSt

The recital given Tuesday evening at
the First Methodist church by Miss
SWOrth Newman of the Lawrence School
Of Expression was certainly an enter
ment of rare merit, in which she demon
strated uncommon powers as an eIOcu-
zionist. Her first resitation, was "Jean
Viljean" from Victor Hugo, in which she
showed wonderful grasp Of her subject
in expression and gesticulation, chang
ing her voice and manner with each of
the several characters portrayed. Her
several recitations were equally good
and enjoyed by the audience. Miss
Newman has good presence, is modest
in bearing and has bright future be-
fore her as an elOcutiOnist. She should
have been greeted by large audience
and no doubt would have been, had those
of our people who appreciate entertain
ments of real worth, known Of Miss New
man as an entertainer.

built of wood and narrow; electric lights,
