PIERCE GATES GO OUT ,
Give Norfolk a Ten Foot Raise in Two
Nights. Going Down.
Between Wednesday night and this
morning at 8 o'clock , the water in the
Northfork river raised all but an inch of
ten feet at the Sugar City Cereal Mills.
The rapid rise was due to the going out
of the gates at Pierce Wednesday night.
The mills in this city have boon unable
to run since yesterday noon on account
of it.
It is a singular thing that the high
water marks always como on the same
days. Through a series of six high
water years the marks have been exact
ly the same on the same dates. In 181)7 )
and 1898 , together with other years ,

ly the height reached today.

Monday. At 8 o'clock this morning the
water began to fall and has been drop
ping ever since. There will be no
danger from it.

Minutes Yesterday.
Matt Shaffer , jr. , who yostoulay was
bodfiiHt with u very Hevero attack of ucutn
rheumatism , was cured in twenty min
utes aud is today at work , us usual. If
the brakonmn who did it had ( tome
along a day Hoomr , Mutt , sr , , and Matt ,
jr. , might have celebrated their own
and each other's birthdays yesterday as
they had planned.
Yesterday morning Young Matt could
hardly move a musolo. Today ho has
been handling barrels and driving
horses. The rapid transformation from
a sick boy to a well umn was due entirely
o the cll'ortti of a great big hrukoman
who happened to drop In. When the
fellow waH told that Matt was Buttering
from rheumatism , ho declared tlint he
could cure it. Ho was given a trial.
Ho warmed his hands near a stove and
hen began to rub the muscles of the
rheumatic patiunt. For twenty minutes
10 soothingly massaged the body of the
boy and at the end of that time Matt
felt better. Hu got up aud dressed. Ho
lould hardly believe it , but it wasj ; > o ai.d
that was all there was about it. Being
well , ho spent the rest of the day being
glad that ho was IB years old and this
morning woiit to woik.
