the next thirty days.
Lamb was arrested week ago on
a charge of overindulgence, and it was
this same thirst that caused his
capers which resulted in his being ar
rested again Saturday. AT the time
of his first appearance in court,
Judge Mcnamara was lenient with
him, and after imposing sentence Of
thirty days, suspended the sentence
and permitted him to go. He was

Tribute to John W. Noble.
To the Editol of The Gate City:
General John w. Noble will be
placed at rest today in st. Louis, Mo.
He had reached and passed the age of
eighty years.
General Noble was noble in name,
noble in look, thought and action he
was a truly great American, one
whose deeds remain to his lasting
honor; he did not belong to clan,
he was cosmopolitic. He always took
first place by common assent; in war
he became a general; in law he was
one of the most learned; as secretary
of the interior he became famous; as
a member OF, and as its nonored presi-
dent, he did heroic service to the
Trans-Mississippi Commercial con-
gress and the western half of the
American republic. In 1905 at the
close of the congress held at Portland,
Oregon, I had a talk with him on the
eve of his departure for home. spoke
of word sent to him by two of his
SClQleT boys OF Cfle ulTu iowa CaVdlrN,
Aus followed and Ed. V. Holland
The general said: Meal, you tell Aus
and I'D. and the boys that the old gen
eral is almost rs and he is about
through with work and tell them that
when my time comes it will not BIZ
necessary for the boys to pass the hat
to lay the old general away. God
bless them all.
Tears started to flow and he could
say no more With silent hand shake
bid him good bye. The next year
met him in Kansas City at the annual
meeting OF the congress. He looked
and moved with the dignity of king

Sprinkle a little Gold Dust
in the water, and let the Gold
Dust Twins do all the hard
part of the task. Gold Dust
starts to dissolve and lather
the moment it strikes the
water; it starts to cleanse the
moment it comes in contact
with the garment. 1t instantly
softens the hardest water,
saves rubbing, saves wear and

Of the work without your

Use Gold Dust next wash day,

Telephone Towers 40 Down

Illinois shore at the end of the rail-
road bridge and there struck COM
paratively insignificant foe surround
ing the bases of the towers carrying
the telephone wires across the river.
The floating masses Of ice struck
the floe, the floe was forced down
stream and the bases of the towers
went with it.
The steel tower had it's feet knock
ed out from under it and fell north
ward, buckling into twisted up mass
of steel. The wood tower kept it's
feet and moved down stream, still
standing, until its base struck the
bank of the dyke and then it toppled
over to the southwark still intact. 1t

The Vasaries Of the Water.
The key to the water conditions was
the big ice gorge below Warsaw until
late in the afternoon, when the cen
ter of interest was moved down to
Gregory.
The Warsaw ice dam backed. up the
water to a stage almost to the fifteen
foot mark which is the flood stage of
the weather bureau. Then, about
o'clock the Warsaw gorge burst and
the water fell fast until within an
hour it had gone down to the thirteen
feet, 2 tenths mark. Then a new gorge
formed at Gregory which again backed
up the water, which rose half foot
in about half hour.
There was no real danger of the big
cofferdam containing the water power

will have to top nineteen feet before

The Wyoming, 22.O45 Knots
The Greatest and Fastest AflOat.

Rockland, Me, July 19.-All speed
records for big gun battleships We're
broken, today, by the new United
States battleship Wyoming, sister
ship of the r-Dreadnought Arkan
sas, during her standardization trials.
Her speed of 22,O45 knots is declared
by naval experts, who were aboard, to
be the fastest time ever made by any
battlesnip in the world carrying r.
inch guns. The Arkansas. during her
trials II months ago, placed the record
at 21.493 knots.
A strike in .he fireroom during the
full speed runs interfered somewhat
with the operation of the vessel and
even better speed might have been
made, according to the officials, but
for this trouble. The firemen struck
for more pay and before the differ
ences were adjusted the steam fell off
considerably and the speed likewise.
In spite of the, trouble the Wyom-
ing not only broke the full speed rec
ord, but also bettered the Arkansas
average for the five top speed runs.
The Wyoming's average was 2l.329

knots and the Arkansas, considered a
worlds record until today 21.153 knots.
The Wyoming made the customary
% Standardization runs over the
measured mile course, making three
runs each at 10. IL. 10, 17.5, 10 and 2O.5
knots and five at top speed. Her best
time was made on the 21st run.
The Wyoming is $4,000 tons displaee-
ment.
During the trials, today. the build
ers, William Cramp & Sons, Philadel-
phia, were represented by President
Henry s. Grove and Vice President
II. w. Hand. The naval trial board
was headed by Capt. A. f. Fechleter,
with Commander T. j. Sem as record
er. Commander Carl 7. Vogelesang,
who is to be active officer of the wy
oming when she is turned over to the
government, was also aboard. The
vessel is 80 per cent. completed and IL
is expected will be put in commission
about the middle of August.
fhe Wyoming will leave Rockland,
at daybrcak, tomorrow. for a series OF
trial runs down the coast, winding ur
