A FiRsT-cLAss ONE.
A Wood River Times Reporter Gets His
Work In.

HALEY, Idaho, August Considerable
excitement exists in this city over the report
which appeared in last evenings Wood River
Times that party Of cowboys had started
for Yellowstone Park to kidnap President
Arthur. Sheriff Furey has detailed two
Trustworthy deputies to look the matter up,
with instructions to summon strong posse
and arrest the kidnappers, If the facts are .
stated. The Times says: "During the past
two weeks number of strangers, all provid.
ed with good riding animals and firearms,
and resembling party of regulators or
Texas cowboys. have been camped on Will
low Creek. and considerable curiosity has
been expressed as to the intentions of the
patty, some accounting for their outfit as a
party organized % 90 up IN the Indian
country, on prospecting trip, while Others
believed 1t TO be band of Arizona rustlers.
During several days past some of the party
have ridden through town In defiant man
ner and mysserlously disappeared. From a
man who came In to-day It Is learned that
the party who induced him to join them and
take certain pledges of secrecy, were organ
lied to proceed to the Yellowstone Park.
They left last night, going on the stage road,
and he escaped during the night. The OBJ
ject Of the expedition is to corral and capture
President Arthur and party and to spirit them
away into the mountain Businesses to caves,
where they will be fed but kept prisoners,
while the members of the party act as pick
cts to prevent being surprised and captured
while negotiations for ransom are being con-
Quoted.
The captain or leader of the party has an
idea that heavy ransom will be offered by
the United States and personal friends of
the President, after a search for the Presi-
dents party shall be given up, and that half
a million dollars or more can thus be extort-
ed from the secret service fund, and di i6ed
among the party on the principle adopted by
the Italian banditti. The escaped member
Of the party says there are 65 men in the out,
fit, and some of them were guerrillas in the
late war. Five wild Shoshone aud Bannack
Indians 90 along as guides and scouts, who
are armed with repeating rifles and scaping
knives. The leader Is a Texas desperate,
one on whose head price has been set, and,
with the exception of two Italians, who left
the railroad grade, the others Of the party are
cowboys. A grand council was held night
before last on the prairie where every man
swore by his dagger in the lire light to do
his duty.

CHICAGO, August 10, 1888.
Nv DEAR FRIENDs-I have just received
telegram, and have no further information
as yet, but the one telegram, saying that my
daughter was killed and Mr.. Lewis suspected
as her murderer. However, / have no such
suspicion, for he has been a loving, kind
father to her, and to her last letter, only o
week ago, she added in "p. s." that Mr.. Lewis
was father to her. But what have made
up my mind to is that she has taken her own
dear life, as she has threatened to do several
times previously, owing TO the cruel and In
human treatment of her father. THE iphu-
man treatment here referred to is, as learned
from the Chicago Herald, that according to
the decree o. divorce Mrs. Clark was to re-
tain the custody of her children until they
were fourteen; that when Eva was fourteen
her mother sent her TO her father, at Pent-
water, Michigaa; aud he becoming tired of
her sent her back to Chicago by one of his
boats and in charge of the three or four sail
ors who ran 1t; they brutality outraged her
and she arrived at her mothers home in a
state Of nervous prostration, from which she
never fully recovered) Her father placed
his curse upon her even before she was born,
and she being very impulsive and of late re-
ceiving news of some of his evil doings, and
his not allowing her brother to travel with
her az she NO much desired together with
her disappointment and remembrance of
him, believe she committed the fatal act,
and not for one moment has my faith and
confidence In your son been shaken. We
have telegraphed for particulars, but as yet
have received nothing and will telegraph
you the same when we do. You have my
heartfelt sympathy, as need yours, in this
most trying hour. L shall do all in my
power to release him from all blame. May
Heaven bless you and your son for all he has
done for my darling child.
Respectfully and truly,

OLD EGYPTIAN SKILL,

The ancient Egyptians excelled in
nice mechanical work, and it might
puzzle some of our masons and stone
workers to equal them at the present
day. Mr.. Kenrick, in speaking of
the casing of the great Pyramids,
says: 1.-The joints are scarcely per-
ceptible, and not wider than the
thickness of silver-paper; and the
cement so tenacious that fragments
of the casing-stones still remain in
their original position, notwithstand-
ing the lapse of so many centuries,
and the violence by which they were
detached. All the fine work of the
interior passages where granite is not
expressly mentioned, is of the same
stone, and finished with the same
beautiful exactness. But the skill in
quarrying was displayed more III the
extracting of the huge blocks out of
which obelisks and colossal statues
were hewn. Obelisks ninety and
statues forty feet high, each fashion
ed out of one stone, were not uncom-
mon things; and the blocks selected
for these monuments were not chance
splinters from barbarous efforts of
splitting and smashing, but clean
slices separated secund1tn drtem from
the native rock, after being selected
and accurately defined. And how
was this done-by driving in huge
iron wages? No, indeed that would
probably have split the stone. By
infinite labor, then, in chiseling and
saving: Pooh! The old Egyptians
knew a trick somewhat cleverer than
that; they cut small groove along
the whole length of say, one hundred
feet, and in this inserted a number of
dry wooden wages; then they poured
water into the groove, and the wedges
expanded simultaneously and with
great force, broke away the large
fragment as neatly as strip of glass
is taken off by diamond.''
