FORMS GREAT DRIFTS. Northwestern States in the Grasp f ; of a Snowsgtorm. Railway Trains Are Blocked and Street Cars Tied Up--Wind Causes Much Damage — Fears That a . ' Flood May Follovw. Chicago, Jan. 24.—Tue storm of Saturday .and Saturday night culminated in a heéavy fall of snow with high winds all over northern and central Illinois. Indiana, lowa, lower Michigan, southern Wisconsin and mach of Kansas, Nebraska and wnorthern Missouri. All kinds of outdoor business'suffered. The snow was wet and heavy. Much of it melted as it fell.' The remainder clung wherever, it touched. Throughout the lower Mississippi and Ohio valleys it was a h’eavy rain. In the north and far west the winds were gentle and the sun shone. : ? :

~The fear pow is that the snow will disappear rapidly and swell the rivers through the great central basin, which are already unusually high for the season and dangerously near the flood point. A little more rain or snow with continuing warm weather would probably repeat the history of last March in the lower Ohio and Mississippi regions. ey '

The storm’s [effect thus far has been inconyvenience rather than actual damage. In the smaller cities all through the storm territory street railway traffic was partially blocked and railroad traffic was impeded. | = \ Sheboygan, Wis., Jan. 24.—The fleet of vessels in winter quarters in this city experienced a severe shaking up Sunday, occasioned by a . tidal wave, the third of the' season. The wave was caused by the| northeast gale and the water swept up the river in such great volumes that the harbor was turned into a veritable whirlpool. Ice from 12 to 16 inches thick was ground into chunks as small as hen’s eggs and vessels were torn from their moorings acd driven in all directions. The mishap was due to the unprotected condition of the harbor. ‘ > :

Evansville, Ind.,«Jan. 2,4.—'River men say Saturday night’s storm was the worst on the river in 20 years, yet no serious loss is reported to steam craft. A houseboat occupied by George Atkins and his two young daughters just above the city was swamped during the night and the occupants took refuge in a large skiff. The boat was anchored to a tree near the bank, but the land around it was overflowed for a half mile in all directions. When the unfortunates took refuge in the skiff the darkness and the storm evidently bewildered them, for they never reached the shore. ‘Sunday their skiff was found floating near their swamped home half filled with water and the three occupants dead in the bottom of the little craft. They died from exposure. ‘ ' .

Detroit, Mich., Jan. 24.—A blizzazrd has been raging throughout Michigan. Saturday night and Sunday morning the heavy gale was accompanied by fine snow. Saginaw street cars were completely tied up Sunday morning. Trains were stalled on the Mackinaw. division of the| Michigan Central and on the Flint & Pere Marquette road. The- gale -was | equally fierce on: the east and west sides of the state. At Benton Harbor considerable ‘damage was done by the blowing down of smoke stacks, store fronts, etc., and nearly the entire sheet iron roofing of the courthouse was blown off. The steamer Frank Woods broke from her moorings and several smaller boats drifted into Lake Michigan and were jammed in the floating ice. The Graham & Morton steamers were ordered to remain in port at Chicago and Milwaukee. At Muskegon, Petoskey and all northern points the storm was violent, but none of the winter steamers are known to. have been out on Lake Michigan during the storm. ' : :

iCincinnati, Jan. 24.—A hundred thousand bushels of coal were sunk at Fleming’s landing in the Ohio'in the western part of the city by waves rolled up by the wind. All losses here thus far are insignificant. All business men whose cellars would be inundated at 55 feet of water or at a lower stage are busy removing their wares out of danger. The Ohio river here at seven o’clock p. m. reached 49 9-10 feet, a rise of 54-10 feet since six o’clock Saturday night. It became statiomary at that stage. News from Portsmouth, 0., is that for 12 hours up to six p. m. Sunday the river rose seven feet and was still rising at the same rate. This flood has about 120 miles to travel to Cincinnati, At all West Virginia points rising floods are reported. The same story comes from tributaries in Pennsylvania and Ohio. This makes it sure that the maximum here will not be less than 53 feet and at the same time gives ground for apprehension of a great flood of 55, with a possibility of 58 feet. »Either of the latter two stages would render the Grand Central depot inaccessible for trains and would prevent all large boats from passing under the bridges. The streams below Cincinnati are all pouring in their floods, which will hold the water here at very near the present stage till the rise from Portsmouth reaches here and swells it to 55 feet. Cairo, 111, Jan. 24.—The Mississippi river from this point to New Orleans is rapidly rising, and there is enough water in sight to send it.above the danger line from Cairo to Vicksburg, Miss, ‘ e e ettt ettty .

MIJ[“JERS GAIN A POINT.

C-spnferejlce at Chicagq Decides on the ! | Eight-Hour Day. ' Chicago,' Jan. 24.—LEight hours will constitu?e a day’s work in all the bituminous coal fields of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia on and after June 1, 1898. This important provision was made Saturday afternoon at the joint convention, of coal miners and mine owners. The action aﬁect‘s the welfare of 400,000 organized ]éfqal miners, the reduced hours of labor giving opportunity for work to 8,000 mdre men, estimated on the reduced output of 1896 and 1897, and to a much greater numbef, with the anticipated output in 1898. The resolution which was presented is as follows: “Resolved, That 'the acknowledged day’s work in the five states of .the .competitive field be eight hours after June 1, 1898, provided theT same is established and in operation satisfactory to miners and operators after the Ist day of May, 1898.” w After it was explained that the provisionar;} clause of the resolution was for the purpose of giving the United Mine‘Wq’)rkers an opportunity to organize the men at work in the fields of West Virginia the resolution was adopted and a system of work among union coal miners which their representatives have battle for for many years became a reality. Then the question of an advance in the pay of thé miners was taken up and Operatorl Chapman, of Ohio, offered the following resolution: )

“Besolv?d. That an advance in pay of ten cents|per ton be paid to miners of the competitive districts of the five states after June 16, 1898, the same conditions of operation exist;ing throughout the competitive field.” |

_ Three |substitutes and amendments were oiﬂered to this resolution, all questioné of great moment to the convention being tacked on in one way or another.| Discussion for two hours followed and through a series of votes the propositions were snowed under.

WHERE HARD TIMES ARE NOT Laa KNOWN. 3 ‘ Described by a St. Paul Paper as the New Star of Liberty. . ° A corres p o ndent, ; in a: ctqme A gl — "> | munication rv"‘;\’:‘ﬁ;:':' 2, '4.: 38 |to this paﬂw'i & 4| per, says TR se b W | during the e -r‘(i":,"’m ~2% |past few g~ . | months ‘s o - E much h as been said and written of Western Canada, and the new provinces forming it, he has been led. to give the subject some inquiry, and he has ’ieen shown letters written to the Canadian government from delegates sent out by friends to insEect the country. One of t{le delegates who was sent to Western Canada says: “In undertaking to give a description I fear I shall not be able to give it justice, for I hardly know where to begin or when to end! Fora Yle‘a for my judgment, I will assume, for an illustration, the experience of a man who went from place to place in search of a wife, and finding s¢ many of good qualities and attractions, was unable to determine which to choose, so in looking for a home in Western Canada I like the country well, and two of ‘my boys are going this fall (they have since gone, and each has a homestead), where I 'am-satis-fied they will do well. The lands which I have seen are far superior in every respect and beyond my expectations. , Lakes and streams to be found in all districts abound with innumerable kinds of water-fowl, while fish are very abundant. On all sides we see innumerable stacks of grain, proving.. beyond doubt the fertility of the soil.” On either side of the track can be seen in addition to the %rain herds of cattle, horses and flocks of s eeg. I have traveled over a’ .}g]reat portion of the Western states and I ave seen nothing to compare with thiscoun‘try.

Fora great many yvears doctors pronounced it a local disease, and preseribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and. therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. .J. Cheney & C€o., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on-the market. It is taken internally,in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It‘aets directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address F. J.

No class of people is so liable to throat trouble as the great clags who make up the Gospel ministry. The strain put upon the vocal organs biy constant exercise; the sudden change from a heated building to the cool air when the vocal organs are in a -state of comp{}ete relaxation; the fact that a minister feels impelled to use his voice when actors and lecturers would take the needed rest; these are among the reasons why “Clergymen’s - sore throat” is known as a gecmlvdiseuc. The Rew. E. M. Brawley, D. D., District Secretary of the American Baptist Publication Society, writes from Petersburg, Va., the account of an experience of his own which is profitable reading to those afflicted with gronchial or other throat troubles.

L A BIT OF ADVICE. - An Old Friend Jolts the Rising Young . Orator. . / The “young man had been introduced to the political club as a rising orator who would make a few brief remarks. He had evidently become impressed with the belief that the mantle of Cicero had fallen upon ‘his shoulders, and was not going to let it slip” .off if he could help it. \When he had ‘at last brought his talk to a conclusion, he went to a group- of friends to receive congratulations. .
