Ark-Like Weather.
"Talking about rainy weather," said
the Westerner, "I remember once out
in Indianapolis meeting a farmer who
took the most cheerful view of damp
ness of anybody I ever saw. I asked
him if they had had muoh rain down
on the Wabash that spring. 'Well, it
has been a little damp,' be answered.
'The day befoie I left home I had to
hang up 24 of my ducks. They had
got so water-soaked that they couldn't
swim any longer. I planted my corn
in two feet of water, and I don't expect
over so bushels to the acre. Why,
wheat is looking pretty well bnt the
sturgeon and cattish have damaged it
considerably.
" 'There was about IS minutes of
sunshine one day, and I thought 1
would plant my potatoes, so I loaded
them on a scow and anchored the scow
In three feet of water, when it began
to rain again. I wanted to go down on
the bottom lands next the Wabash to
see if the grass was growing for my
hay croc, but my wife said that as we
didn't have any 4ivlng-bell she'd
rather 1 wouldn't.
" 'I should feel kind of discouraged
with all 'the rain, bnt I've spent my
odd hours of leisure time and the even
ones, too, on account of staying in out
of the wet building us an ark. If it
will only rain another week or two un
til I get her all ready to sail, I'm going
to take my family out to Missouri by
water for a trip to visit our folks that
' moved off out there because they didn't
know enough to Btay in a place where
they were comfortable.' " St Louis

NICARAGUA CANAL
A Great Thing for tho Pacific Coast
Would Bo a rowerfnl aid In
Western Development.
The Nioaragna canal is a eubjuct very
much discussed just at this time on tho
facifio coast
From statistics carefully gleaned by
the most authentic authorities, it is
shown that from the different nations
of the world and the islands of the sea
there would pass through the canal a
possible annual traffic of 14H10,000
tons, a probable traffic of 10,000,000
tons, or a certain traffio of 8,000.000
tons, on which, ii a toll of 3.60 a ton
was imposed, an annual revenue of
120,000,000. would be obtained, or over
119,000,000 over and above operating
expenses. A saving of (3.50 per ton
on wheat would amount to, say, 7
cents per bushel, and on lumber to (5
pet 1,000 feet A careful examination
made by the Maritime Canal Company
show that a possible one-half of the
8.000,000 tons trafSo, which is claimed
will pass through the canal, is Ameri
can commerce, either coastwise or ex
ports and imports. It seems to be fully
determined that if the canal is built at
all it must be built and operated as the
property of the United States govern
mentbuilt with the people's money.
It should be open and free and without
tonnage charge to all American com
merce, coastwise, exports and imports;
and to compensate ourselves for our
outlay we should lay a toll of at least 3
per ton on all tiafflo passing through
between foielgn nations.
It is estimated that it will require
not to ecxeed $100,000,000 to con
struct the canal, although it is claimed,
in a recent statement made by Lyman
B. Cooley, a celebrated engineer of this
country, that, by reason of certain dis
coveries on the part of the commission,
sent by President McEinley to investi
gate the feasibility of the project, the
cost of the canal will be reduced much
below the figure of $100,000,000, on
account of favorable dredging in the
lower end of Lake Nicaragua, non-existence
of rock, in the San Juan river to
Tore Rapids, good foundation for im
mense dam at Ochoa, favorable condi
tions for embankments at San Fran
cisco basin, and a new site for a dam
at Tambro Granada.
The farmers of California, Washing
ton, Oregon and Idaho, now further
from the world's markets than any
other agriculturists, would not only be
placed as near Lirerpool as their com
petitors in India, Chile and the Argen
tine, but tbey would also have an ad
vantage over their competitors of $3
per ton, or 6 cents a bushel; for the
wheat from India must bear f 3 per ton
toll at the Suez oanal, and we would
have the Paoifio South American states
pay t2 per ton on the Nicaragua canal.
Then, too, our Atlantic 'and Gulf
ports would have this $3 per ton ad
vantage over all their British and
European rivals in the great markets
of Japan, Korea, Australia and the
Pacific islands, as their rivals would be
compelled to pay the $3 per ton toll,
whether they went to market via the
Sues oanal or the Nicaragua canal.

End of the Salmon Season.
The salmon packing season is at an
end, there being no more vessels due to
arrive from the north, and according to
the best authorities, says the San Fran
cisco Call, all the canneries on the
coast are 1,000,000 cases, or about 83
per cent short of the 1897 pack. The
Alaska Packers' Association is some
48,000 cases short, or less than 8 per
oent of last year's pack. About 19,000
barrels of salt salmon were shipped
fiOm Alaska during the season of 1898.

AS EXPLOSION.
promo Court Rood la Kafcoaal Cap
itol Wrecked.
Washington, Nov. 8. An explosion
and fire at 5:13 this afternoon wrecked
the supreme-court room and the rooms
immediately adjoining it on the main
Boor of the capitol. The damage is
enormous. The entire central-eastorn
part of the great marble pile from the
main floor to the subterranean base
ment, practically ia a mass of ruins.
The force of the explosion was so heavy
that the coping stones on the outer
walls, just east of the point where the
explosion occuired, were bulged out
nearly two inches, and locked doors
were forced open from their hinges
quite 150 feet from the scene of it.
Fire followed the explosion so quickly
as to peeui practically simultaneous
with it.
The explosion shook the immense
structure to its foundations, and was
heard several Bquares from the capitol.
It occurred in a small room tightly
inclosed by heavy stone walls in the
subterranean basement, immediately
below the main entranoe to the old
capitol building. In this room was a
500-light gas meter, which was fed by
a foui-inoh main. Very little gas is
used in that part of the building, but
at the time of the explosion the gas had
not been turned off at the moter. The
meter itself was wreoked, and the gas
pouring from the main caught fire.
The flame originating from the explo
sion darted up the shaft of the elevator,
wbioh bad been completely destroyed
by the force of the explosion, and com
municated with tiie record-room of the
supreme court, the office of the mar
shal of the court and the supreme court
library.
Before the flames could be subdued,
the pilceless documents in the record
room had been almost totally destroyed,
and serious damage had been done in
the marshal's office and some minor
rooms in the immediate vicinity.
ihe library of the supreme court, lo
cated immediately beneath the su
preme court room, was badly damaged
by fire, smoke and water, practically
destroying the great collection of law
reference books. The library contained
about 20,000 volumes and was used not
only by the justices of the supreme
court but by -members of congress and
lawyeia practicing before the supreme
court
The most serious damages, in the
opinion of the justices of the supreme
court, is to the records stored in the
sub-basement. These included ail of
the records of cases and opinions ren
dered by the fathers ot the judiciary of
the government Apparently the docu
ments in this room are either totally
destroyed or so badly damaged by flie
and water as to be useless.
UNDER A FALLEN ROOF.
Collapse of a Theatre Building In De

F flS'iMGi) wei
B men were at work in various parts
of the half-finished theater portion of
the structure, the roof fell in without a
second s warniig. Nearly every work
man was carried down into the theater
pit. The top gallery was crushed
down upon the lower gallery, forming a
sort of fatal hillside, down wbioh slid
broken steel girders, planks, timbers,
brick and a great quantity of cement
from the roof, and carrying along a
struggling company of men into the pit
below, very few of whom escaped in
jury. The front wall of the building
remained practically intact, but the
east side wall bulged out and buckled
threateningly.
Notwithstanding the latter danger,
the work of rescuing the injured and
taking out the dead was rushed, and
good progress made until 6:15, when
the upper portion of the east wall fell,
a shower of bricks striking around the
orowd of laborers, offloers and newspa
per men, extinguishing the temporary
eleotria lights and causing a stampede
for the street. Fortunately none of
those who were struck by the second
downfall was seriously injured, al
though several were precipitated into
the basement through the steel hoist,
over which only- a few loose planks
were laid. Mayor Maybury and other
oity officials, who were on the scene,
thereupon dcolded not to further-imperil
life in order to save dead bodies,
and the work was suspended nntil to
morrow. When the orash occurred two bodies
were visible in the debris, but they
were abandoned for the present. The
dead are: j,
August Sallach, George W. White,
Theodore Mertens, Martin Shatter,
CorneliuB McArron, James Megersohke,
August Janusohowski, John Oreselskl.
Two other bodies had been discovered
in the debris at the time of the second
crash.

The disaster is supposed to have been
due to the use of faulty iron beams in
constructing the supports for the very
