FROM Black River Falls we learn
that Charles n. Ketchum of Mcmillan
was arrested by Sheriff Ormsby on the
31st ult and brought before Justice
barrow of Black River Falls, charged
with having committed rape, the vic
tim being Myrtle Patterson, fourteen
year-old girl whom Ketchum had
adopted three years ago. From the
girls story it appears that the crime
was committed about three months
ago, but the facts were not made
known until Wednesday when the girl
confessed everything to her brother.
Sheriff Ormsby called on her at
Ketchum's house and found her suf-
fering from the effects of an abortion
The Sheriff ordered the girl to be con-
veyed to the Blair house and placed
her in care of DR. j. w Hamilton,
who made an examination, the result
of which is not known though from
what Dr. Hamilton says, it is not
improbable that the physician who
had charge of the victim before the
matter was placed in the hands of the
authorities may have to answer to a
charge of abortion, Ketchum waived
examination and bail was fixed at
1000. Ketchum is said to be a
hard citizen, and this is not the first
time he has met similar charge.
He is the same man who broke up a
Republican meeting at Mcmillan last
fall, particulars of which disturbance
appeared in the REPORTER at that
time.

A MURDER ACQUITTED. Bennett,
the Wausau murderer, was let loose
on the insanity dodge by a Lacrosse
jury, Monday. The case was given to
the jury at $50 P. NJ, Judge New
man giving a fair and impartial chrrge.
He pointed out the true meaning Of
reaSonal doubt as meant in the law
passed last winter, showing the jury
that there must be a preponderance
of doubt The general belief was
there would be disagreement, but in
two hours the jury returned into court
with a verdict of insanity. There
was crowd Of roughs in the court
room who appIauded the verdict
Nearly. all respectable people look
upon it as disgraeeful, as it clearly
was in ever respect. Lynch-law ap-
pears to be about the only recourse
left, since the law will not hang MUIR
derers, and juries will not even convict
them.

WITH THE TENNEssEEANs--A
NATIVE OF WEST AFRIcA-Miss
Franks Lynn, the contralto with the
Tennesseeans, has quite a history.
She is the grand daughter of the ruler
Of the people near Gabbon in West
Africa. She was brought to America
by returning missionaries in 1870,
because they were convinced she poss-
essed remarkable talent. That talent
has developed into something cxtraordi-
nary, and she is now one Of the
principal attractions with the Tenn
esseeans. She will appear with the
Tennesseeans this season under special
engagement. The Company will
appear at Writer'S Hall June %,

he was not taken in worse. He was
on his way west, but returned home

REMENY1.-The peoples favorite
vioIinist is the best in the world. We
are informed by Miss Dougherty and
also by Rev. L. F. Cole who have
heard him several times. that his play
ing is simply grand. He carries his
audience with him completely. 1t is
needless to dwell upon the marvellous
playing of Remenyi, It can fascinate
and electrify an audience as no other
music can do, and its effects are the
same both upon the musicians and
those musically uncultured.

knowledge of the merits of this circus,
and leave our readers to their own

appoint them. Mr.. Moore their
gentlemanly agent furnished US the
following brief notice
"The Great Grecian Show, of
which J. W. Parson is manager, gave
their second performance for this
season in this city on Wednesday.
Everyone who attended was agreeably
surprised The show was first class
in every particular. McCafferty, the
homeless man, is certainly a wonder.
Ringling's juggling was immense.
The trapeze performance was superb,
introducing some new, novel and
dangerous feats. On the horizontal
bar, some feats were introduced that are
equaled by few and surpassed by none.
Their tumbling and brother acts were
first-class and the entire performance
A No. l. The show is worthy of
public patronage and we wish the
management abundant success"

A DESCRIPTION OF THE BROOK
LYN BRIDGE.-The bridge may be
said to begin at Chatham Square, in
New York, and end at the corner of
Sands and Washington streets in
Brooklyn, but the bridge proper, the
single span which constitutes the
engineering skill stretches 1895 IL
feet from tower to tower, and 3460
from anchorage to anchorage. At
the towers the bridge isis feet above
high water mark, and in the center
135 feet. Clearly the first thing to
be done before stretching single wire
across was the establishment of an
anchorage on each side Of the river.
These anchorages hold the wires, and
are located $50 feet inland from the
towers on each side. There they
stand, vast aggregations of stone, 1l9
feet above high water mark, and
weighing 5000 tons each. There is
nothing peculiar in the outline or plan
of these vast structures except that at
the bottom are four huge cast-iron
plates, one for each cable, 16 IL feet
by II ID feet in size, 2 IL feet thick,
and weighing 10000 pounds each.
