SO.--Mrs. Calvin Barlow, wife of a prominent citizen, died Tuesday, and was to bare been buried on Wednes day afternoon. ' Shortly before the funeral was to take place a woman who had as -sisted in dressing the deceased for the grave stated that the body was warm when she and the others were at work, and that she thought it would be Dettcr to postpone the funeral for a day.. After it had been hinted that there might be a faint possibility of life the relatives-concluded that there was no need of habte in the matter, and the funeral was post poned. It was done more to guard against talk: by outsiders than through any belief that there was any indications of life, as the deceased had been ill more than two months aud had become much reduced and wasted, before death. Hhu did not bare strength enough left just before death to have rallied. suicide of a bank cashier. Sacbamento, Jan. 30. William F. Huntoon, son of the present county treas ure aud cashier of the People's Savings bank, shot himself through the heart in a grocery yesterday, and died soon after. Huntoon bad been indulgiug in liquor for several days, and when he appeared at the bank was advised by Assastant Cashier Laurence to return home. Huntoon left the bank, but instead of proceeding home, visited a number of saloons. He visited a saloon where a barkeeper refused him liquor. He remaioed in a grocery for about an hour without speaking to any one, then walked to the door and saying. "Well, good-bye, boys," drew a pistol and fired the fatal shot. - He was aged about 36. ' The accounts of the bank are straight. THE MONTANA SENATORS. . . Washington, Jan. 30. Would-be Sen ators Clarke and Maginnis ot Montana hare taken quarters together at Welker'a and are in constant consultation with the Democratic senators, presenting their case before its actual presentation to the com mittee and the (senate. It is generally -understood that they are loading the orators ot the Democratic side with . facts and points about Tunnel- precinct which will be fired off when the Montana case comes up for discussion. Both Clarke and Alcginms have been somewhat uneasy since the recent supreme court decision in Montana, and they are trying to convince their Democratic frienos that it cuts no figure in settling the contest The Republicans are anxious to see the text of the decision, as Repre sentative Carter claims that it will clear up and help settle the problem.

Tw -Racers, la dvin1 1" ' It was near the .close of a bright summer's day ; the golden sun . bang j ust above the horrizoo, and our long wagon train crept wearily forward, winding like . . .. .A .tnnK l.t. The faint winds, setting eastward with the perfume of the prairies, were balm to our tired souls. We were thinking dreamily of our evening's camp when the grim words, echoed from, wagon to wagon, awoke us to a realization of the dread truth. "Joe Rogers is dyin' 1" Joe Rogers dying? Surely there must be some mistake, we asked of our com panions more with our eyes than words. Why, he was only hurt a day or so ago, aud we - none of us had thought him seriously injured but there was no mistaking the decisive sentence Joe Rogers was near his end ! We all loved Joe for his brave, honest heart, and his whole sou led simplicity ; He lived as God had made him, and no art of society had covered up the manhood of his rugged heart. He was a stranger alike to metropolitan refluerutut and cul tuied hypocrisy, and as he floated down the wild channel of bis ate, be had not left an enemy on either hand. When the announcement bad reached the first wagon it halted, the other wagons circled around it and we came to camp. As we gathered around old Morrison's wagon, there was no face so hardened but it bore the im press of sorrow ; there was no voice so ruae but it sank into the saddest of undertones. Daddy Morrison was holding the sufferer's head upon bis knee, and the marvel was how his great, rough bands could smooth the hot forehead so gently. - "Don't worry, ole chap," said Daddy Morrison in a shaking voice as Joe gasped and struggled tor breath. -'Can't I raise ye up a little higher?" ii The sick man shook his head. Some one thrust a flask of liquor through the side of the wagon where the canvas had been tied up to enhance thesiiDpiy of fresh air. Old Momsson put it to Joe's lips, but be turned away.. "Not now, not now, Daddy ; I've got ter go an' that stuff can't keep me." He closed his eyes and remained still a short time so still that Daddy Morrisson looked up at the boys with tearful eyes and they asked him quickly: "Is he dead?" "Not yet,"' said Joe himself.opening his eyes and smiling 'a little. "I huin't gone yet. I smell the'flow'rs, an' grasses, an' tho perfume of the perary, an' I hear the wild rice a rustlin this is the place fur to bury me. This is the' place fur to bury Joe." He relapsed into silence once more, and again started softly to words. ' They 'a a big marsh near here, an' tbey's some buttes off north of us, bsin'tthey V' ' . 'Yes, Joe." - , ' 1 ; "An' the sun's jest dro'ppin' down be hind the perary swell, hain't it. Daddy I" "Yes, Joe." " . ' "Then take me ou ten the 'wagon.boys. I want ter be where I kin see 'em fur the last time. It'll git dark purty soon yes.awful dark fur me, an' I love the buttes. an sky an' birds the birds is gone now, I s'pose. Hain't none of 'em singing 'round here is they, boys?" . : "leu see tuein Diras to-morrow, oie feller." '.''" "Yes, I'll see them birds to-morrow; I'll see, em . an' they'll sing fer Joe. . Take me out, boys." .., ; Many and willing bands lifted the poor fellow from the wagon to a pile of buffalo robes and blankets nu the ground, and Joe, resting on his friend's Knee, looked off toward the dark coteaux, then across the moor, rustling and sighing with its rank crass. 'Dou t mind me, boys." said be: "turn Anf var satrl, on rrtt on iinii.o Tiu Kugers is goin ter live till purty -nigh inornin'. . He's goin' tet spend the night here on the perary an1 then he's goin' ter sleep here till Gabriel's trninpet wakes im." . - - ': . The men went about their preparations fir the evening meal in a half-hearted manner and Daddy Morrisson still attend ed the sufferer. "What d'ye know .'bout religion. Daddy T' asked Joe when the two were lft alone. "I'm jest 'bout where a feller thinks of it et he ever does." "I do' know what ter think, Joe, only ) jest live right au' die right an yer. all right. Tout s what I've alius argued. 'That's what I've alius thought, Daddy, but mebbe they's sometbin'. else. .Kin you read, ole man ?" -.

'Never singed in my life, Joe, but Dick Petersl Ye jest ought to' hear 'ini sing Lizzie, Ole Gar an' I Stood rat an' them d'ye want.'iin Joe?" "No. Open that lwok. Daddy.'.' Daddy Morrisson opened the book aim lessly and it parted just at the place a lock of yellow hair whs pressed between the' leaves. "What's that, Joe?" ' "' "It was the kid's. Daddy 'Joe's kid' everybody called ber. ' Ye know I told ye the story. There, let mo take it in my hand.'

He fell bank on his rude bed and seemed to doze off into a . soft sleep, and Daddy after coveneg him with a blanket to ward off the night dews, drew a little to one side where be could watch and be at band when needed. . '. ; After supper one or two of the boys ap proached noiselessly and lifted the blanket, but Joe appeared to be: resting so com fortably they did not . arouse him. i "The night passed "The gray dawn was tilling the east when Daddy. Morrisson went to joe's side and raised the covering. Ah, the early morning showed him what the night had tailed to disclose joe Rogers was dead I His face was peaceful, nay, almost smiling, and his cold 'hands pressed the yellow curl to bis silent breast. .

Friday the atmosphere assumed a gloomy hue, and the rain poured down in Wcbfoot style. At first itwss thought to be only a light shower, but hour passed after hour, and still the heavens were opened, and seemed to pour of their abundance upon the well saturated earth. Streets became flooded, and crossings were almost 8m passable for pedestrians. The rain continued Saturday in unabated fury, and Mr. Sam'l L. Brooks, our meteorologist, informed us that 2 :53 inches fell in thirty hours, the heaviest fall experienced here for fifteen years. Mill creek gathered all its factors of ven geance, end was a raging torrent. Gar dens, which bad been sale for jesrs from overflow, were several feet under water, and the maddened waters rushed on to the Columbia. To cross the street in places ono had to wade through a loot of water, and in some instances cellars were drowned out, and residents were forced to wade in in gumboots to save vegetables and other articles stored. The anger Of the heavens f till continued during Sunday, and old resideuts stood aghast and- exclaimed, are we to experi ence our highest water in February, in stead of June. In the afternoon Mill creek bridge leading to the shops began to show signs of weakening, and it be came necessary to cut the dam, erected for skating purposes, to give the flood of water which had accumulated a chance to escape. Already the raging torrent had washed through a place about six feet wide, and this acting on a . bent of the bridge bad lowered it about two feet. Fears were entertained that the other bents would eliure the same fate. At this uncturc, Mr. C.J. Crandall who erected the dam and Mr. Eastwood, one of his employes, went to work to cut tbo crib bing loose. They woraed laitmuuy lor some time, but could not destroy the planking which stopped the flow of water. Mr. N. 5. Wires, one of tho3e fearless en gineers who- takes bis life in his hands by reason of bis yocation, climbed out on the dam and attached a large cable to-it. Everyone watched him with breathless anxiety, for if it broke away- be would be swept almost . to speedy -death. The switch engine drew the cable tight and tore off the post, wttnout any further liberation of the imprisoned waters. Again Wires climbed Out on the dam, to where the break bad been first made, with axe in hand, and commenced to cut away the obstructions. ' He was soon joined by another fearless man, who helped him in cutting away boards. Tbo two men worked for fully a half hour on this dam, with nothing but an inch plank between them and the frightful torrent below and the seething fotimihg waters' above, ap parently oblivious to their own danger and the hundreds who watched them from the other railroad bridge: The cable was attached, and this lime a large portion of the dam was hauled away. Again these men worked on the remaining part of the break water, until the pent-up fury of the maddened flood found vent, and no further - damage was apprehended to the bridge. By reason of the detached .bent, no en gines were allowed to. cross the bridge, and will not until this damage is repaired. The turn-table connot be used by reason of it .being unsafe, and engines cannot be turned until the bridge is repaired. This ss a serious inconvenience; but tbo com pany 'must suffer it with other' injuries more serious. Last night red or danger lights were placed on the bridge, and no trains were permitted to cross. ' ' To-day the rain is very light, and it may be considered the storm is over, which will be WclcomV news to all concerned. , Whore J)td "Y'on ict That llatf 1 Now York Tress, . ; ; . ' ' , . In an uptown resort the other night was William Cooper, the owner of the big onyx quarries near Espernanza, Mexico, who had dropped in to meet a friend. At the bar were a party of men imbibing liquid refreshments.' Mr.-' Cooper wears here the same broad-brimmed brown plush sombrero as when he is riding over the mountains to his quarries. It attract ed the notic j of the party at the bar,-and one of them, io an insulting tone, proposed to drink to the health of the author of 'Where Did Yon Get That Hat!" His voice caused Mr. Cooper to look quickly around, while the insult caused a flush to run over his rugged, bewhiskered face. He found that he knew the' voice, and, stepping up to the man, be said quietly but firmly: "The hat is all -right, but. be fore yon insult the wearer of it hadn't you better remember that four years ago I loaned you $50, which, you told me, would keep you out of Ludlow street jail and save yonr family from starving.' My name is Cooper, sir, but I bad-no whiskers then." The gentleman who told me this incident' relates that the man at the bar turned white then red by turns, gasped, half strangled, but filially did the manly thing by saying, ?My God, are you Coop er? Well its all so, gentlemen, just as be says, and I beg his pardon and your." Helieved front jurj ity. Evening Wisconsin.

One man bad a sick child.and another a sick cow. Presently, after considerable rumination, an Irishman arose.

' The greatest wheel of this kind ia the world, a very wonder in mechanism, stands in the main shop of the Dickson Manufacturing Company inScranton, Pa. It was ouilt for the Calumet and Heel a Mining company of Lake Superior, Mich, for the purpose of-lifting and discharging the "tailings" waste from the copper mines, into tbe lake, and its diameter is 54 feet, while its weight in active opera tion will be 200 tons.. It is called a fifty foot sand- wheel, but Its extreme dimen sions are fifty-four feet in diameter. Some idea of its enormous capacity can b formed from the fact that it will re cievnd elevate sufficient sand every twenty-four hours - to cover aa acre of ground a loot deep. . It is armed oo its outer edge with 433 teeth, 4.71 inches pitch and 18 inches face. The gear segments, eighteen in number, are made of gun iron, and tbe teeth are machine ' cut, epicycloidal in form. It took two of the most perfect machines in tbe world 100 days and nights to cut the teeth alone, and the finish is as smooth as glass. Tbe wheel is to be driven by a pinion of gun iron containing 33 teeth of equal pitch and face and will run at a speed of 600 feet per minute at tbe inner edge, where it will be equipped with 488 steel bucket! that will lift the "tailings" ts tbe machine revolves and discharge them into the lake. Tbe shaft of the wheel is of gnn iron, and its journals are 23 inches ia diameter by 8 feet 4 inches long. Tbe shaft it made in three'' sections and is 30 'inches in di ameter in the outer center. -- At first glsnce tie great wheel looks like an exaggerated bycicle wheel; and it is constructed much on tbe same principle, with straining rod that rnn to centers cast on tbe outer sections of the shaft. . Tue steel buckets on either tide of tbe gear are each 4 feef S 1-3 incbet long and 21 inches deep, and the combined lifting ca pacity of tbe 448, running at a speed of 600 feet per minute, will be 300,000,000 gallons of water and 8,000 tone of tand every twenty-four hours.- The mammoth wheel is supported oa two massive pedes tals of cast iron weighing twelve tons each. and it is estimated that its cost at ihe cop per mines before making a single revolu tion will not be less thaof 100.000.
