Wisconsin furnishes quite a good deal of the flood water of the Mississippi. Therefore, in building flood water reservoirs to rivers of this state would have to be considered. It would be necessary to build Mich reservoirs on the Wisconsin.

Black, Chippewa, Flambeau and oilier streams and- possibly several on each stream. They, would catch the ilwd water and hold it back, their gales letting dywn enough to maintain regular heads. Every such reservoir would not only prevent floods on those, streams, -but would be the source of water powers which could be used to generate electricity for general commercial uses. Such works owned' and regulated by government could sell that' current for lighting and power purposes, to be used near by or as far away as it could bo economically transmitted. That would mean 'that a great part of the industries of the state could be.

Jan. 24. Thirty persons were kjlled, and twenty more are missing, as the result of the collapse of the three-story building of the Mississippi.

Dry Goods company, and. the two-story building of the Tingle Implement company. Fire, which broke out immediately after the collapse, is. believed to have burned to death a number of persons, who woudl have been reseued. Eighteen bodies have been taken from the debris, and more have been located.

Walls Cave in Without Warning. At least fifty persons were shopping in the department store when the walls caved in without a moment's warning. The crowd of shoppers in the store and the weakened condition of the building Is assigned as the A special sale taking place at the time, and the victims are chiefly women and children, The upper floor of the department store building was occupied by the local Odd Fellows' lodge.

A mother and year-qld infant were found dead with their arms around each other. Other women were found covering the bodies of their children.

They had expended their dying strength in an effort to save the lives of their children. The few clerks who escaped from the department store say that, the sale was at height, and women were crowding around the counters." Suddenly the east wall creaked, and clerks and patrons gave it but momentary attention. Fifteen seconds later, however, both walls caved in upon them with a terrific crash. Screams that arosjr from throats of women were stilled by the crashing avalanche. A half-smother od groan, a rising pall of "smoke and dust, and it was all over.

One of the clerks, Burney Graves, escaped by leaping through the rear window near where he was 'working. Miss Mary Kirk, another clerk, was rescued 'alive. She had been standing near the doorway, saw the walls fall. M. A.

For the first offense he was drawn on a hurdle through the principal-streets, which would be thronged with people and foul with. traffic, with the offending loaf suspended froni his neck.

From a pen and ink sketch of this ceremony- it appears that the unhappy tradesman wore neither shoes nor Stockings and had-bis arms'Strappcd to. his sides. It seems also that two horses drew the which suggests that it rattled along at a pretty lively pace.
