Land of Lorna Doone.

There are many who deny that there is
any historical basis for the story of the
Doones of Badgeworthy, and that there
was ever a giant John Rid, of Dare. But
so powerful is the romantic influence OF
Blackmore' Exmoor story that thousands
of tourists go every year to see the little.
church at Dare, and to walk or ride OH
Exmoor ponies along the valley to the
water slide. and no matter if the slide
be disappointingly small and there be
doubts about the DooneS. the fascination
of the romance will, it is safe to say pre-
vail for many generations.
Rid or Red has been a local name IT
the district for a long time and there Is
a Nicholas Snow still living at Dare, a
hale old gentleman, loved and respected
by all who know him, who has a proud
memory of a visit paid to him by the late
King Edward, when. Prince of Wales.

j. NJ. Miller Says Politics De-
ponds on Liquor Ideas.
Judge SIOnecker of Topeka Is in
Washington.

Washington, Dec. 21.-James NJ. Mil
Ter, former congressman from the
Fourth district, is in Washington at
tending the national temper
ance conference, and incidentally
going about at the capitol greeting
some of his old colleagues. 1t has been
three years since Mr.. Miller was a
member of the house. Since his de-
feat for reelection he discovers that
there are but a very few Republicans
left in the lower branch of congress
and to find a few old friends is now
q difficult matter.
Mr.. Miller was one of the leading
speakers at the temperance confer
ence. He declared that no man can
be a success in politics in the state
of Kansas unless he advocates prohi-
bition, and he pledged the vote of the
entire Kansas congressional delegation
to the support of the Kenyon Sheppard,
Webb McCumber, and Lea-Sims bills.
The Kansan said that, unquestion-
ably, the people of the middle west are
in favor of the enactment of legisla-
ton along the lines proposed by these
three bills.
Both Senators Curtis and Bristow
have received many petitions from
Kansas people endorsing the Kenyon
Sheppard interstate liquor bill. These
petitions came from Arkansas City,
Monument, Holton, Winona, Lebanon,
Norton, Scott City, Sylvia, Ransom,
Graham county. Wichita, Agra, Ho-
gle, Muscotah, Hill City, Potwin,

town a large quantity of refreshme IS
were distributed to keep the audience in
good humor The first speaker rose after
the noise had ceased to some extent and
began his speech by saying:

his voice was drowned by the confusion.
When it had subsidized he began again by
saying:

thick voice in the back of the hall said,
slowly and deliberately:

eldents.
THE VALLEY Is FLOODED

The Mississippi and Des Moines
rivers are on the rampage just now,
readjusting matters for the river
traffic season. The Mississippi river
climbed away up the piers of the
bridge here last night and the mark
ing at I o'clock this morning showed
a rise of feet and 4 tenths, caused
by water backed by the tremendous
ice gorge below.
The ice in the Des Moines river
which had been slowly going out broke
up at 3 o'clock this morning, backing
up the Mississippi river and flooding
the Des Moines bottoms. A gorge be-
tween Warsaw piled up to height
that appeared alarming, forming a
bank of ice so high that from the
Warsaw levee Alexandria could not
be seen. Further down the river be-
tween Alexandria and Gregory there
was even a more mountainous pile OF
ice damming up the free passage of
water in the Mississippi river
Just below the bridge here there
was another break this morning on
the Illinois side when another large
section of ice went down, leaving a
clear river from the Iowa to the Hi
nois shore for a considerable space
below the bridge.
The storm is expected to continue
today and possibly tomorrow with a
low temperature. The thermometer
tonight is likely to go to tempera-
ture between IA or 20 degrees above.
This low temperature will have a
tendency to hold the ice In place In
the gorges, but the very weight OF
them and the power Of the running
stream is likely to break them up in
spite of the lack of warm weather
and sunshine.
Reports coming in after the early
morning reports say that the gorge
had broken between Alexandria and
WARSAW and is rapidly going out
which will help in hurrying on that
formed down in the vicinity Of Greg
DRY.
| The water backed up here in the
Mississippi river is likely to go out
as rapidly as 1t rose, all depending on
the breaking of the ice dams below
how many, there is no means of de
| termining as they form rapidly al
| various points and may disappear
just as rapidly.
1t is not likely, however. that these
river conditions can continue many
hours. The ice grows weaker every
hour, if not from warm temperature
/ from becoming rotten from water
soaking.
