The water is rising quite rap
idly around Loveland, due to the
ice gorges. At 3 O'Clock this
morning number of the neigh
bors moved the household goods
of Mrs. Joe Moss and Mrs. Ida
Bachman to other quarters as the
water was about three feed deep

is reported to have lost a COW,
some hogs and chickens by
drowning. His horse has also
disappeared and it is feared ii

The bridge on the Sixth street

to be safe, but the road has been
SO badly cut up that it is impos-

"Move Up There"

Sandy boarded a somewhat crowded
tramcar and had to stand. The car
started on its way once again, and a
little later pulled up to permit an
other passenger to get on. The con-
ductor told Sandy to move up a bit,
which Sandy, always eager to oblige,
did. Some few minutes later there
was grinding Of brakes, and cnce
more the car stopped. This time an
old lady Of seventy stepped On. Sandy
was again required to move up.
Sandy thereupon moved up.
At the next stopping place there was
another halt. Two children boarded
the car. and the request for Sandy to
move up was repeated.
A little farther on Sandy reached his
destination. and prepared to leave the
car. He got as far as the step. when
the conductor gripped him by the arm
and pulled him back.
Fare please." he cried.
Fare be blowed!" exclaimed Sandy.

the Melanesian islands.
In the Melanesian islands the natives
carry on feuds with a more relentless
hatred even than the vendettistes Of
Corsica. In these islands Christianity
has been made. at least in outward
aspect the religion Of the people.
That 1t really does mean something
to the Melanesian Is evidenced by the
reply l received from an intelligent old
chief when asked him why he did not
become Christian.
I'm to be-" he said. when ] kill the
devil who kill my boy five years ago"
So relentlessly are these feuds car
ried on that it is the custom for ma.
tive Of wealth with a grievance against
another. but who finds it impossible or
inexpedient to kill his enemy and &C.
cure his head himself. to hire profes-
sional murderer and pay him upon the
delivery Of the headA
Often in the years that are Just gone
andiscriminate killing went on with
such savage persistence that even dur
ing church service pot shots" were
taken at marked worshipers through
the doors and windows.
The sftuation became 80 acute in one
village that the government was petit.
toned, and the response was the loan
to the missionary Of a rife.
The missionary took the hint and
armed one Of his natives who stood
guard outside the church during serv.
ices.
And so it became the fashion on many
Of the islands to add sentry to the
church rolls.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Not Smoke. but Snow.

F. D. Young of the United States

theories to account for the Smoke"
reported from time to time as having
been seen rising from Mt. Hood, in
Oregon. One is that the smoke" is
STOW. blown by strong wind from a
certain direction from the cliffs inside
the crater rim and thrown high in the
air. Another is that clouds drifting
into the open side Of the crater rim
are transformed into column of va.

currents. The third is that snow
thrown by slides On hot patches of
rock inside, the crater is converted
into steam which. being carried up

CHILD.
LITTLE ADEE FLEMING, SON OF
n A. FLEMING, REPORTED TO
HAVE SERIOUSLY INJURED.

Little two-year old Alden Fleming,
son of Mr.. ara Mrs. e. A. Fleming,
was reported to have been seriously
injured yesterday when a horse, be-
longing to his father. suddenly at
tackled the litele fellow at the home
Of his parents, on East Lloyd street,
and had 1t not have been for the
presence OF mind of a neighbor. it
Is possible that the enraged animal
may have inflicted fatal injuries on
the child.
The child went into a lot where the
horse was grazing, and, without
warning, the animal suddenly sprang
toward the little boy. planting his
feet, it is said, on the child's chest
and was said TO have been in the act
OF further injilring little Alden when
interference was offered by a colored
nurse girl. When the latter sought
to drive the horse away the latter
turned on the negro, and this is
when the neighbor ran into the lot,
grabbed the child up from the ground
and carried the unconscious little
sufferer to safety. A physician was
then hurriedly summoned.
