The crowd of passers by on Main
street last night about Z O'Clock were
surprised to see a slight and agile fig
ure rapidly climbing the electric light
pole 10 front Of Campbeil's store. Real
izing that the deadly current wss
puisating over the wires, an awe
stricken crowd quickly gathered at
the foot Of the pole to ascertain who
the daring acrobrzt ives and why heso
mAdly risked his life. On close in
spection the climber turned out to be
no less "A parsonage than DR.. Whit
ney. and the reason for his suicidal
attempt was learned TO be the pursuit
of the almighty dollar, Charles Juneby
smith having thoughtlesSly wagered
that amount that the Doctor could not
scale the dizzy height, and pose at the
top with M Of his delicately turned
limbs on each side of the cross-bar.
With q celebrity and grace that struck
envy to the hearts Of the onlookers,
the doctor rose steadily upward; and
though the strides from one foOthold
20 the next we're Of such q nature as to
tax to the utmost the elasticity Of bis
manly frame, he was soon near the
top and was about TO enteI the maze
Of wires when a warning voice from
below advised him Of the danger Of
any further advance and though burn
ing with ambition and surppressea
preparation he desisted and began the
descent which YVES easily accomplished
In exactly four minutes and twenty
eight seconds. As the wager ives un-
decided. II was agreed that a second
attempt will be made At noon today.

market, and that, If there was a good
road from SherIdt al 10 Miles City, the
farmers Of that l~acality would be glad
10 load t. this bpint with their grain
and flour for the reason that they
could purchase their supplies here
much cheaper than in their local mar

Almost Fatal

On Sunday forenoon our citizens
were shocked TO hear that the young
est o of Chas. E. Brown had been
kicked by a horse, and, the frss
reports had il, killed. Later it wal
learned that the little fellow was still
alive though il was feared that he was
fatally injured. II seems that the boy,
who was a mere toddler 3 years old,
has been in the habit Of going with his
father TO the stable while the latter
took care Of the horses. On Sunday
morning he accompanied his father as
usual, and approachingto too near one Of

The Highest Navigabis Luke In the
World.

World.
Education is not all, says u New York
Sun correspondent, that Chautauqnans
brag about when they speak of their
summer school. They are sure to tell
you that the lake, on the banks of which
they gather. is the highest navigable
and navigated body Of water ON the
globe. and that it is swept by winds
pure and fresh as those of the more
northerly .Adirondacks. Chautauqua
Lake is in the extreme western corner Of
New York State. 1t is l. 300 feet above
sea level. 1t is only eight miles from
Lake Erie, but 728 feet above it. An
interesting geographical point you are
sure TO hear is that Lake Chauiauqua,
although so near Lake Erie, sends its
waters southwark through Conewnngo
Creek, and eventually reaches tide
water in the Gulf of Mexico through
the Mississippi River.
AS n fact, Lake Chautaugua is not
particularly pretty as lake. lt' slopes
are fiat and unromantic and the coun-
try round has been largely stripped of
trees Nevertheless, it is getting every
season more of resort. There are half
q dozen growing summering places
around it. The black bass and muska-
longe fishing is remarkable, and the
country is full of vineyards, and nctted
with fine roads for driving. jamestown
is the nearest city of size 1t is on the
outlet, three miles below the lake,
and two lines of steamers have numer-
Gus boats plying daily between these
places, stopping at intermediate resorts
