GEN. STA MA RD'S STATUE.
Karl Gerhardt, the Hartford sculp-
tor who will make the statue of Gen.
Stannard that will surmount the
Gettysburg monument, which is be
ing rapidly completed at the Car
ricks shops in this place, has just
completed a full-sized clay model of
the statue. The figure is grand in its
proportions and outline. The face,
which is a portrait, is shaded by a
broad felt hat, the empty sleeve (the
right arm was lost at the capture of
Fort Hudson) is pinned across his
breast; the left leg, encased in heavy
cavalry boots, is slightly advanced,
and the left hand rests on the sword
hilt The whole attitude is one of
watchful alertness and strength in
perfect repose. The bronze statue
will be finished by August.

Made Him TirA,

It had rained all the long, dreary day, and
little Lord Fauntleroy's golden curls were
bedraggled and wet, and his nice collar hung
limp adown his slender shoulders when he
came home at 4:S0 o'clock and tossed his
school books at the cat which lay by the
hearth.

where the old man was quietly sitting, srnok-
ing, and thinking, 81 thought all brides were

you make such an odd remarkP'
Because, grandpa, in looking over my
geography lesson came upon the Hebrides
Are they females, tool And il 50, why are
they called 'he'P And the little lord peered
into his grandsire's face with an anxious, eager
look in his gobelin blue eyes, which showed
how great was his desire to be informed cor
rectly.
''Go away, child; you weary me" said the
old man And little Lord Famtleroy crept
sadly away, and did not Kmile again even

ELECTRIC DEATH.
Dangers and Horrors Of the New
Method Of Lighting.
THERE Is A SURE PREVENTIVE.
to Ensure Alb QUITE Safety of
Life and Property.


An SC6ue IS IL UObs
But what is itl Merely the corpse of a poor
laboring man, hanging in network of wires
where he has been roasted to death And
this at the corner Of Center and Chambers
streets, New York city, at noon of a bright
October day, and 10000 people looking on.
From his hand, face and foot issue light
puffs Of smoke, his neck is almost severed, his
lips are burned away down to the teeth, and
long after life has fed the corpse qnivers
from time to time with the intensity of the
current. And there it hangs for one hour,
for his fellow worllmen dare not 90 near it
till they have cleared away the surrounding
wires and one can approach it with hands
gloved in rubber.
Within eighteen months seven men in New
York have been thus suddenly shocked and
burnt into eternity, seventeen more have
sustained injuries barely short of fatal and
several others have been seriously, but not
permanently, injured; yet expert electricians
say there is no necessity for such risk. They
understand the application Of great electric
force Just as well as the comparatively trifling
force employed in telegraphing, and could as
easily control it with proper appliances; but
such has been the rapid development OF cleo
trio lighting that the companies have EN-
ptOyed machines ana wires OF Bne nl5neSU
pressure Ito borrow term from common en-
gineerinsl simply as a matter Of economy,
and insulation has been neglected.
An explanation is necessarily very techni-
cal, for the electric light has not been in use
long enough for the unscientific public to
hammer out by usage 4 set of plain terms in
the vernacular; but at present three RENE
dies are suggested, though but one is certain.
First, of course insulation is recommended,
but it may be dismissed with few words
1t could not lin the opinion Of experts be
made perfect against high tension by any
system now known TO man; and, were the in
sulatiOn perfect, the material producing it
would soon lose its power Of insulation.
Much is said of subways that the main
wires shall be conducted through tunnels
but many of the best electricians declare
against the suggestion. Some assert that
the deaths would outnumber thOs. already
noted as ten TO enc. They add that if the
tunnels were made so large that 4 man might
walk upright in them, with perfect veutila-
ton and system by which local faults or
breaks could be detected, the danger might
be avoided. Otherwise they suggest awful
possibilities of death i'll cellars, gas fixtures,

1000 REWARD! 1000.

A suitable reward will be paid for the
return Of the Russell Cyclone Separator
and the Celebrated Mitchell Wagon which
were lost to us on the Fair Grounds at
Salt Lake City, Saturday, October 5. 1t is
not presumptious on our part to say that
had we not been so busy operating the
New Era Road Grader, The Reversible
Township Grader, Russell Traction Engine,
and the Austin Well Drilling Machinery,
we should have watched our personal in
terests more closely and perhaps secured
a PRIZE. We are, however, compelled to
be content with the display we made,
which responsible parties claim to be THE

praise bestowed upon our goods. They
are worth THOUSANDS of DOLLARS.

If you wake up in the
morning with a bitter or
bad taste in your mouth,
Languor, Dull Headache,
Dependency, Constipa-
ton, take Simmons Liver
Regulator. It corrects
the bilious stomach,
sweetens the breath and
cleanses thefurred tongue.
Children as well as adults
sometimes eat something
that does not digest well,
producing Sour Stomach,
Heartburn, Restlessness,
OF Sleeplessness-a good
dose of Regulator will
give relief. So perfectly
harmless is this remedy
that it can be taken by
the youngest infant or
the most delicate person
without injury, no matter
what the condition of the
system may be. 1t can
do no harm if it does no
good, but its reputation
for 40 years proves it
never fails in doing good.

It il estimated that less than 70 PEI
cent. Of the good tillable soil of Dakota
is as yet under cultivation. This csti.
mate includes both North Dakota and
South Dakota. Ana a considerable por.
ton Of the land under cultivation is not
adequately titled on account of lack OF
capital or for other causes which operate
in a new country. When this fact is
given due consideration there may be
some appreciation Of the enormous pro
ductive capacity ofthe greatregion in the
northwest included within the boundary
lines of Dakota. Especially is this
true OF South Dakota, whose river valley
and rich uplands are adapted to such n
great variety Of crops. Already South
Dakota, with no more than 10 Der cent
Of its good soil under cultivation and a
good deal of that not well cultivated,
SURPRISES in aggregate production nan
Of the old states. Already it is a great
country for corn and Ill grain and root
crops, q great country for cattle and
hogs, supporting many populous and
thriving cities and towns. This is what
less than half a million people have
done by the actual use Of one acre in
ten within their commonwealth. Tho
possibilities of such q realm would
almost stagger credulity if there were
anything savoring of guesswork about
them. But the facts are perfectly plain
and indisputable. The facts demon
strate that South Dakota with 10000 0
inhabitants would still be no more
thickly settled than II is to-day in some
distsicts, and that there is still rich land
for the use of such a population. The
productive power OF such a population,
when ample capital and the best meth
DDS are applied and when all the capaci-
ties Of the soil are understood and
utilized, is almost beyond computation.
What South Dakota Q wants beyond
all other things is farmers to come in
and develop these rich acres which yet
lie absolutely in a state of nature. 1t
has room for 100000 new inhabitants,
and can give them rs good Il chance as
those had who already have found pros
porous homes there. And if the oppor-
t~unities which South Dakota has 10 offer
should be properly advertised to the
world it is easily within the bounds OF

immigration of at least 100000. At this
comparatively low rate. which is not So
great as Kansas by systematic adyer-
Using was able to attract, it would re-
