THE WORLDS WONDER.

For the following remarkable story, we are
indebted 10 the Milwaukee Advertiser, Of the
10Th.
Mrs Phelps, wife Of Col A. p, Phelps, Of
Oak Grove, died in August Of lsi7, aud was
buried in the yard of her son, at Oak Grove,
Dodge county subsequently, Col. Phelps
having taken up his residence at Berlin, on
the Fox river, desired 10 remove the body of
his wife Ia that place, and accordingly, the
body was disnterred for that purpose Tlr
grave had been dug uncomuonly wide, and
a plank laid across the same, just above the
coffin, to prevent the dirt from pressing upon
H. The body had been buried three years
sGvUU months Uut -UtUvuu dfTys, NJ tho tIuT1
Of the disintcrmont. On reaching the,gr~sssq
the collin, which WINS made of pine, and en-
closed in an oak box, was found very heavy,
so much so as to require tie strength Of five
men, with some difficulty, 10 raise il On
bringing IL 10 the surface, It was opened by
Col. Phelps, and the body discovered to be
in a perfect state of petrilaetion. a large
chisel, used in opening, was tried upon the
body with no more effect than il applied 10
brick or stone. The coffin was perfectly fiji
ed, and the body as hard and solid as a rock.
The face and arms wGrc-as when first laid
out, with the head slightly turned TO one side,
and one arm little fallen from its original
position, probably occasioncd by the convey
sRee. So perfect was the eountensneo, that
the husband could recognize her easily among
a thousand corrse-. lie designs Immediate
ly erecting an ample brick structure around
the grave, and as this striking evidence ofthe
wonder workings Of nature, may be thought
worthy Of scientific examination and inquiry,
he is disposed 10 let those of the curious who
may desire it, take such view of corpse as
it appears in the coffin, as they may prefer"

A WILD MAN or THE WOODS.


The Memphis Enquirer gives an account
ola Wild man recently discovered In Arkan-
sas. It appears that during March last Mr.
Hamilton, Of Greene county, Ark, while out
hunting with an acquaintance, obsorVed
drove Of cattle in state Of apparent alarm
evidently pursued by some dreaded enemy
Hating for the purpose OF finding out the
cause, they discovered, as the animals fled
by them, that they wcro followed by an an
imal bearing the unmistakeablc likeness Of
humanity. ..n"r.l.
lie was Of gigantic stature, the body being
covered with hair and the head with long
locks that fairly enyelopod bis neck and
shoulders. The wild man" after looking at
them deliberately for short time, turned and
ran away with great speed, leAping from
twelve TO fourteen feet At a time. His foot
prints measured thirteen inches each.
This singular creature, the Enquirer says
has long been known Evolutionary in St'Frou-
els, Greene, and Poinsett counties, Arkansas
sporumcn and huntps described him seven
teen year. since a planter indeed saw him
very recently, hut withheld this information
lest he should not Doc credited, until the nc-
count of Mr. Hamilton and his friend placed
the existence of the animal beyond ravil.
A great deal of interest is felt in the mat
ter by the inhabitants Of that region, and va
rious coniocturcs have been ycnturcd in re-
gard to him. The most generally entertain
cd idea appears to be that he was a survivor
orthc earthquake which desolatod that region
in 1911. Thrown helpless upon the wilder
ness by that disaster, il is probable that he
grew up in his savage state, until he now
bears only the outward resemblance Of hu-
manity
So we'll authenticated have now become
the accounts Of this creature, that an cxpcdi-
-rirrJ y7TEi7iUF ", AAiirrTTIririiE7
yid c. Cross and DR. Sullivan, 60 scout for
him.

Summary Of the Latest Intelli0ence

We are informed by telegraph, that there are
shree treaties before the Senate all of which have
been favorably reported upon by the committee to
when they were referred. They are, treaty with
Switzerland, a treaty with Portugal, and a treaty
with Mexico giving US the privilege Of forming
connection between the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans, across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, all of
which We hope will be ratified.
We regret 10 learn that report of the proceed
ines OF the last day and night of Congress as in
correct, as far as the extra appropriation to the
Collins line of steamships is concerned. We are
much Disappointed az this; but we have grounds
for hoping, il not believing, that the application
will be successtu at the next session. This line
must be sustained.
Another effort was made in the Senate, yester-
day, for the relief Of Father Richie. The reso.
luton introduced 10 that effect was laid over for
the present but it will no doubt be favorably
acted upon.
very interesting question is engrcssng the
attention OF our Legislature at this time. Mr..
Schoonmsker, one of the members, was elected
20 Congress last fall It is insisted that he could
not hold his seat in the Legislature after the ad-
jourpment of the last Congress, and therefore that
he is incompetent TO vote. This is denied, on the
other baud, by parties who say that he can retain
his seat until bis acceptance as member of Con-
gress is sisnfed. The Senate took this view Of
the matter, and decided that he is a member Of
the Legislature until he makes such acceptance
known.
In the year ls36, Silas Wright, of this State was
elected 10 Congress under the same circumstances
On the fourth Of March, 1927, he resigned his seat
in The State Senate, having doubts whether he
could consistently retain il after beng made a
Congressman.

The Rev. Mr.. Adam, Of Bermuda has received q
liberal diary offer to accept the psstrate OF
the Rev. DR. Lawrie's church, la Washington city but
the B,rHudian thinks Mr. Adams will decline the Of
