The BELLS Of the wisconsin.

We copy the following from the Sank
County Standard, Baraboo:
About three miles north Of Norristown,
we came to the s.Dells, on the Wisconsin
river. Here the river runs for s miles
between perpendicular cliffs of rocks, a.
bout 800 feet high and 40 across. The
scenery here is grand and picturesque,
resembling the gorge between the Falls
of Niagara, and probably produced from
the same cause. The steamer Enterprise
passed through the Dells on Thursday
last, without experiencing any difficulty,
and is the first boat of large size that has
yet attempted to navigate the Wisconsin,
above this place. 1t was near the Dells
that Black Hawk and the Prophet were
after their defeat at the battle
of Bad Axe, in 1885.
A bridge is being constructed across
the river at this place, which is about
30 feet in length, and so or 100 feet "a
bove the the level of the stream.

The three chief competitors of Genin for

but the cunning halter would not sell al

THE LOUISVILLE TRAGEDy.-It has
been stated by telegraph, that young
girl, " Lizzy Sinkhorne, was shot in a
brothel at Louisville, KY, on the 2Sth
ult., by John Figg, who afterwards killed
himself" The Louisville papers say
that she died of her wounds on the fol-
lowing day, at the home of her parents,
whom she had deserted. The Democrat
gives the following particulars
There were some affecting incidents
connected with this affair. The girl,
whose real name we learn is Spikewell,
had formed strong attachment for the
man Figg, who sought TO murder her.
He had persuaded her to forsake her
companions and live entirely with him,
and in spite of the most brutal treatment
on his part, she remained with him, and
shared her ill-gotten gains with him. On
the day previous to the attempted MUIR
der, he had beaten and bruised her in a
manner that she was compelled to fly
from him and seek shelter in the house
Of Mrs. Renfro, where she had formerly
resided. He watched the house from the
back yard until he saw her enter a room
in the basement-he followed her into
the room, and without saying word
sought TO place the muzzle of pistol
against her breast in the region of the
heart. She sought to avoid his aim by
shrinking behind the furniture of the
room, and begging him not to shoot her.
He persisted in his hellish purpose how
ever, and Immediately afterwards shot
himself. She did not utter one word of
complaint against him while in the house,
and when they spoke of removing her,
she requested that she might be permit
ted 10 see the body. After embracing
the inanimate form, and gazing fondly on
the features for few minutes, she SIM

away, far "more in sorrow than in an

fiction was conveyed in those simple
words, "poor john"

The n. Y. STATE FAIR.-A heavy
shower at Albany, on Thursday night,
did serious damage to the property on
exhibition at the Fair. The Knicker-
booker takes advantage of the circum-
stance to urge that the Fair should be
made ga fixture" at some particular
point. 1t says:
There is no more reason why our
Fairs should be constantly perambuIa-
ting the State, than that our Legislature
should. We care not what placs the
Society may choose, whether it's Albany,
Syracuse, Buffalo or New York. All
we ask is, that the thing may become a
fixture somewhere.
According TO estimates made on We'd
nesday, there are upwards of two hun
bred thousand dollars worth of property
at the present Fair. Ii is also estimated
that the rain of Thursday night damaged
this property ten per cent. In other
words, the cost Of one shower is nearly
half what it would cost 10 erect a struc-
ture that would render every department
damage-proof.''
OF course, if the wishes and conven-
fence of the people of the Western State:
were consulted, Buffalo would be pre-
'ferred for these exhibitions, which have
begun to assume really National inter.
est and importance. At the exhibition
at Buffalo in 1913, the finest cattle and
some Of the most valuable invention,
came from the West, particularly Gin.
clnnati, and the finest horticultural dis
plays Were from Cleveland and Detroit

may be derived from the sale of an in

Scooffy & Kelsey recently disposed of an

the sum of $8,400. The cost in New

$4,000. A new keg of printers ink
