plant and started an Investigation. The
machinery was gone over, and it was
only after considerable time had been
spent in inspecting the engines, that
the trouble was discovered. The
switch had been turned by a stranger,
J. H. Moran, who had strayed into
the building. Foote turned the switch
on again. but in a few minutes, or
just after the dynamo was running full
speed, the fuses burned out 1t took
considerable time 10 repair the dam

was intoxicated. again attempted 10
turn the switch. He was arrested. Moran
stated he was an electrician and had
worked in electric light plants. He
went to Aledo from one Of the Rock
Island Southern camps east of the
town. His fine was $25 and costs, and
as he was unable TO furnish the
amount, he went to Jail.

oIutions Against the Proposed
Agreement With America.

Montreal, Feb. by a vote of
90 to "A the board of trade in an
nual session yesterday afternoon

I'VE hereby record the unalterable
opposition of this board TO the pro-
posed reciprocity treaty with the
United States, which treaty would in
volve the country in dangers not yet
FULLY realized, and we consider the
government should first ascertain thu
opinion of the whole country on this
question and receive a definite man
date thereon before committing it
to a change so revolutionary as this
reversal of its entire policy, threat
ening not only the trade but also the
more vital interests of Canada as
nation"
A committee was appointed to wait
upon the government and place the
resolution before it.

GREAT DRIFT OF FOAM
Whiteside County Stream Shows Pc
CnIiar Phenomenon.

The Sterling Gazette prints a pic
ture of a most remarkable phenomen-
on that was seen in Rock creek in
Whiteside county last week. A great
quantity of foam formed at the AMMAN
Mill dam and there being no wind to
carry it away it slipped down stream
over the ice for a distance Of 500 feet,
the pile being 40 feet high in places.
Scientists say the foam resulted from
exposure to the air and the churning
action of the water passing over falls,
which released quantities of gases
These gases. which were formed from
the decomposition of vegetable mat
ter. had been kept in the water by the
ice, which covered the stream for
many miles above the dam.
