The missing boats cannot be sighted to- day, and it is feared they have foundered in the gale. Each boat carried a crew of about men. CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 10.—Probably the thickest weather of the-season ‘prevailed on Lake Erie to-day. A dense fog was ac- companied by a heavy downpour of rain. Enquiry at the offices of leading vessel owners and ship brokers developed that while they had received word of a heavy gale prevailing on the upper lakes, no dis- asters had been reported. The local fore- caster states that a heavy northwest gale will prevai! over the lower lakes within a few hours. CHICAGO, Nov. 1f{—Lake Michigan. be- ing swept by a northeast gale, is tearing great holes in the sea wall and the paved beach along the lake front. The Lincoln Park commiss‘oners had just gotten well under way répairing the serious damage. done by the storm of Oe, 25, but the heavy breakers have now put the whole ‘shore line in a worse condition than ever. The action of the waves has undermined the outer driveway in Lincoln Park. Along the north snore dr.ve from Byron street south the water ran across the roadway and made it impassable. The surf played havoc with the sea wall on the lake shore drive and ate its way into the dirt em- bankment. Several vessels are overdue in Chicago and some apprehension is felt for their safety. The lifeboat was nearly swamped several times, but after a long, hard struggle the crew succeeded in getting her under the lee of the Iron Cliff, which by this time six was nearly waterlogged and evidently s.nk- ing. One by one by the séven men com- posing the crew of the Iron Cliff jumped snto the waves and were dragged into the lifeboat. Some of the men were unconscious when rescued.

In St. Louis the Mercury Will Drop to 25 Degrees by 7 o’Clock Friday Morning or the Indications Are All Wrong. THE FIRST SNOW, O Marguerite! It was a sight ‘o see the flakes of snow That came with morning's murky light, To wrap the earth below: I watched them through the window pane And said: “By jeminently!"’ And wondered if they'd turn to rain, They feil so very gently. The sharp wind blew around the eaves And through the trees went soughing, And though it burled the wet brown leaves, I thought ‘twas only bluffing. For one can never tell, you know, How weather coups will fizzle, For what starts out to be a snow May only be a drizzle. And when you take your mackintosh, * Expecting rain till nightfall, It turns off dry and cool, b'gosh, _ Or else there’s but a light fall. It’s strange. this weather.

I’m Not looking for a puddin’, But I'll indulge in no more rhyme Until we have a good un. J. GETCHER GUNN, A cold wave, the coldest of the season, to date, in St. Louis Is predicted by Local Weather Forecaster Hyatt for Friday. The temperature will drop to 25 degrees by 7 o'clock Friday morning and it may go lower. Dr. Hyatt felt that he had fallen from grace and he was in an apologetic mood when he was seen Thursday. He called at- tention to the first-class quality of weather he had furnished for the fair and for the Horse Show. He didn’t mean to discriml. nate against the flower show, he said. “TI thought they needed water and I gave it to them for two days. I thought water was good for flowers. But the florists raised a storm of protests and I had to alter the programme. ‘We are done with that rain now. The low barometer that gave us all the rain is over the East, and it is raining all east of the Alleghenies and up in the Lake Re- gions. It will be clear and fair now for two or three days. “This cold wave is following on the heels of the low. It had its origin up in the Northwest, and it bearing directly down upon us. It is cold all over the West and Southwest now. The colcest spot on the map is North Platte, Neb. At 7 o’clock this morning the thermometer registered 6 de- grees there. It was below freezing away down in Abilene, Tex., this morning. “The cold weather. will last but a day or two. Then the temperature wil! pegin to rise. There is another jlow forming up in the Northwest, but i{t cannot reach St. Louls befure Saturday. We will have clear weather until] then. Perhaps this low will be dissipated before it reaches here and we may have another beautiful Sunday.” —_— STORIES FROM YOUR NEXT.

The field of the present banner Is already so crowd- | ed. owing to the acmission of so many States in recent years, ani the acquisition of Hawail and Porto Rico, that there is room for no more stars.

Now, that is one of the crying needs of this generation. “‘Thia is the thing we long have sought and mourned because we found it not.’ ‘Tt is a Swiss invention.

A club of bachelor girls, who have queer ideas about matrimony, are being bothered till they can’t rest by importu@ite swains, who want to get married. Now, what these girls want to get married for? They wouldn't be bachelors if they did, would they? Why, soit'nly not. They have enough troubles now. See their story in the next Sunday Post- Dispatch, some do | NIAGARA’S NEW BRIDGE.

It grew dark and time for the ceremony, and still the wage ons did not come. Out at the house they as- sured each other that the way was long and that the goods would surely get there.

In December, 1895, two freight trains col- lided on the M., K. & T. road near Texas Junction, Mo. Among the trainmen injured was Albert O’Haver, conductor of one of the fre'ghts. His body was crusaed, and his injuries were so eerious that .e Was prema, $0 St. Lou's and placed in the City ospital, When he left the tnstitution he went to the boarding house of Mrs. E. F. Hudson at 2526 North Ninth street. Some of the railroad men he knew were hoarding there and he went to be with them. When he was ab:e to return to work he secured another position as a freight con- ductor, this time on the K. Line. He ran a freight train between St. Louis and Hannil- bal and continued his residence at Mrs. Hudeon's. Mrs. Hudson was an attractive, womanly widow of a year or two and thirty. She is a blond with a sincere and trusting nature, and the people who boarded there thought much of her because of her good heart. pany abandoned the idea of having the wedding that night. They were to go to the parsonage of the Firat Baptist Church and be married by Dr. W. W. Boyd, but when the trousseau of the bride-elect had not come by #8 o'clock they knew it to be too late for the ceremony that night and postponed it until morning. O’Haver rose late the next morning. He was off duty on the railroad for his wed- ding, and did not gc his breakfast until 9 o’clhick. Mrs. Hudson ate with him, and in discussing the disappointment of the even- ing O’Haver expressed himself provoked with the dry goods house and declared his intention of going to a telephone and stirring them up Mra. Hudson asked him to get her some headache powders while he was out, and about $:30 o'clock he le the house on his Gouble errand. CHAPTLR III. The Disappearance. Mrs. Hudson stood at the door of her home and looked after O’Haver as he left. She saw him go north upon Ninth at from Warren and disappear as he turn the corner and went east upon Montgom- ery street. He would be back In @ Ma O’ Haver. a nice-looking man of 30, slight and tall, with dark eyes and halr and do- mestic ‘habits, was especially appreciative f his landlady, and his constellation which Ulumined her skies. the months passed the landlady anil the conductor grew to know each other better, and when O’Haver came in from his run in the evening for his dinner he sat at the left hand of Mrs. Hudson and ex- changed advice and gossip anent the run- ning of boarding houses and freiirht trains. of the As j } | | And Cupld rested his long bow on the win- dow-s'll and plerced the pretty landlady and | the handsome conductor so full and fair! in the heart that when O’Haver received a | che for $3000 from the ra'‘lroad as an | adinission of their culpability tn that Texaa'!

And when the landlady accepted him, and it got out among the boarders, there was not among them one who expressed the least surpr.se or begrudged either of the lovers their happiness and good luck. —— ed CHAPTER II.
