Hiph Water Puts Town in Darkness

Standardization ice which fllled
the Grand river all day Wednesday
and is still running in large quanti-
ties today, has seriously effected the
power facilities at the municipal dam
and probabilities are that the resid-
ence sections of the village will be
without lights until the advent of
warm weather. Downtown business
blocks are being lighted today by cur
rent generated at the Ramsey-Alton
Co.'s plant, and the arrangement Will
undoubtedly continue until power con-
ditions improve.
The present high water is due to
the tanning in Of anchor ice in a
compact mass against the Common
wealth pond which failed to move out
during the warm spell last week. The
water has been backed up to such an
extent that it was impossible to see
the crest of the municipal dam this
morning. Lighting service was tenn
porarily suspended at 300 o'clock this
morning.

UNEASY
Are Some of the Reform News
papers in China over Yuan
Rolling Now.

HANKOW, Aug. 8-Reform news
papers are displaying some uneasl-
ness about the possible movements
of Yuan Ko-ting, the eldest son OF
the late Yuan Shi-kai. Yuan Ko-
ting returned to Changtehful, his
fathers ancestral home, together
with all the wives and children of the
late president. While he has remain
ed constantly at Changtehfu, engaged
in mourning for his father, it is re-
ported that he is in secret communi-
cation with many of the old military
officers who enjoyed the confidence OF
Yuan Shi-kai, and is preparing to as
sert his rights as heir to the lost en-
pire. ,
Many of the monarchists contend
that Yuan Shi-kai and his family ac-
tually re-established the empire, and
believed they created a new dynasty
although Yuan Shi-kai never was ac-
tualy e~nthroned in a public way.
Yuan Ko-ting is reported to be a
deep student of Napoleonic literature,
and his ambitions to figure promi-
nently in Chinese history became
known through his presidency in urg-
ing Yuan Shi-kai to re-establish a
monarchy in China.
