exhibition of oranges and other fruits Of
like nature) held at Chicago early in May.
When the exhibition closed he was almost
worn out, and announced his intention Of
going to the Pacific coast by way of the
Northern Pacific railway, visiting the yell
lowstone region en- route. 1t is known that
he claimed his baggage and went to the de-
pot, and that is the last attainable infOrma-
ton. He may be lying sick in some out of
the way place and he may be in the wilds of
Yellowstone, but weeks of search and eX-
tended telegraphing have secured no It'd
ings of him.
The lost man is son Of Captain II. S.
Hanchette, OF the Sixteenth Illinois cav
airy, who was a prisoner III Alabama when
the war closed, and could never be found
or accounted for. The son was born at
Sullivan, Ind, and was, or is, a man Of
good character and active business habits.
No reason is known why he should alb
scolld, and his friends think he "has wan
dered from the lines of travel in temporary
alteration of mind" There is some evil
dence that he was acting rather queerly dur
ing MS last days in Chicago.
Equally mysterious and much more COM
plicated is the case of Charles G. Davis, an
active business man of Somerville, Mass.
Twice in recent years he was compelled to
give up business by reason of brain trouble
Soon after his disappearance letter to his
wife, directed in his writing, reached Som
erville. The postmark was Kansas City.
1t was at once forwarded with special de
livery stamp to Mrs Davis, who was at
South birmingham, Mass, yet it was never
received by her, nor have the postal authori-
ties been able to discover it in the mails.
The name of Mr.. Davis does not appear on
any hotel register in Kansas City. About
the same time a Sioux City paper an
nounced that "Charles +. Davis, of Boston,
is in the city," but before inquiry could be
made that Davis was gone, and so the mat
ter rests. The missing man is about forty
years old, and descriptions of him have been
widely circulated.
Emma Carlson is described as ga pretty
Swedish servant girl, who left her employ

she had and would soon return as Mrs.
Andrew Oelson. But several days passed,

says her employer; 'she had been with me
three months and her character is above
reproach" Nevertheless she has disap-
peared, and at the present writing not a
trace of her can be found.
Another recent case was that of Miss
Annie Tretter, who left her home in a viii
lage near St. Louis on March 50 to visit her
brother in that city. She did not reach his
house, nor was any trace of her discovered,
though her father, a wealthy cattle dealer,
spent the entire time hunting for her. She
is nineteen years old and quite attractive
in appearance, but had recently been very
sick; so her friends think she wandered
away in temporary insanity. That is the
theory advanced since her return home the
other day without giving any plausible &C
count of her whereabouts,

WANTED FOR THE WORLDS FAIR.
The Sensational Project Proposed by
Chicago Capitalists.

Jackson park and make it an immense
feature of the Worlds fair. As might
be expected, this astounding project has
set the tongues of ruin worshipers wag-
ging vigorously Some antiquarians de-
clare that it would be an artistic, moral
and political outrage TO disturb this
glorious relic of ancient Rome. Signor
Barsotti, editor of The Pregresso Italo-
Americana, is opposed to the enterprise
on patriotic and sentimental grounds.
To indicate that the idea is prepostereus
he cites Byron's lines:
stand,
When falls the Colosseum, Rome shall fall.
And when Rome falls-the world
But the Chicago men seem very much
in earnest. They have estimated the
cost of procuring the Colosseum and re-
erectingit on the shores of Lake Michigan
at SAC, 000, 900, a large portion of which
would go 10 the Italian government for
the building. 1t is also proposed to con-
struct section of the Appian Way, if a
sufficient strip of land can be obtained
for the purpose.
''Just think" said DR.. john Aitken,
the originator of the scheme, ''of the ad-
vantage TO every one who visits the fair
of seeing those two peerless monuments
of antiquity, the Appian Way and the
Colosseum-storiedr relics of the past, the
contemplation Of which is liberal edu-
cation. So greatly, indeed, have the edu-
cational possibilities of our plan i'm
pressed themselves ON some well known
philanthropists that they have taken
stock in our company for that cause
alone-Colonel Shepard and the Rev.
DR.. Mallory, of New York, and the Rev.
DR.. Tslmage. They understand what a
power for good the Colosseum will DO in
Chicago"
Should the enterprise be carried out
and there are no engineering difficulties in
the way of its censummation--races and
festivals, modelled after those of ancient
Rome, will be held in the building. and
Buffalo Bill will be invited to hold his
Wild West show therein.

GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY
Lecture on the "Life History of
the Sierra Nevada"

A special meeting of the Geographical
Society was held last evening at the hall of
the Young Mems Christian Association for
the purpose of listening to lecture by
James Z. Mills on the Life History of the
Sierra Nevada" Professor George David
son introduced the speaker as a student of
reputation in more than one continent, and
whose merits were kept in subsection by his
exceeding modesty.
After a brief Introductory statement of
the growth of mountain, showing its mar
Vicious changes in strict accordance with
laws not yet understood fully and the result
OF forces still to be appreciated, Mr.. Mills
said the growth of mountain as well as of
a whole chain like the Sierra Nevada was
as truly proof of evolution as that of a
rose or vine or species Of plants. The
lecturer had the assistance of some maps.
which were drawn on large scale, to Illus
trate the geological formations of the par
ticular group of mountains, and abandoning
his notes he devoted the rest of his lecture
to a Tree and easy talk on some of the par
tcnlar facts he has gained after thorough
study OF the Sierra Neyadas.
They properly begin at a point on the
North Fork of the Feather River, not far
from Lassen's Peak, and end at the lower
portion OF the San joaquin Valley, not far
from the base Of Mount Whitney, distance
oil 4O0 miles. Between their rugged slope
IN the west and the Coast Range once
flowed the ocean. This latter chain of
mountains not many geologic ages ago was
nothing but low islands. which, like the
greater SierraS, alternately rose and fell I'M
der the influence of those hidden forces
that even now are so little understood.
Mr.. Mills also described briefly the various
periods and demonstrated by the labors of
SUCH scientists as Agassiz, Whitney, Blake
and Professor Davidson how, by various
upheayals and depressions OF enormous eX-
tent OF territory, glaciers did their mighty
work, and how the whole of what is now
the Paeihc Slope rose from enormous depths
to be tie abode OF late form of civiliza-
ton. Not small portion of his lecture was
devoted to the phenomena of the formation
of gold-bearing quartz lodges and of the
equally strange deposits OF gold in ancient
river channels. This part of Mr.. Mills
lecture proved very Interesting and in
structive.
He showed how futile it is to spend time
and money in looking for gold deposits of
permanent value in formations that Scien-
tihc men are able to prove could give no
proper returns. The whole of the Sierra
Nevada Range is dotted with examples of
wasted energies and capital squandered in
looking for gold where il never was. In
closing MIR. Mills made an eloquent appeal
to his hearers In showing that the closer
one studies the truths of science he is bound
to acknow ledge in everything the wisdom,
power and goodness of an eYer-preSent
Divinity.

CITY HALL CONCRETE.

Inferior Material.

Gray Brothers Found to BE Using
Inferior Material.
More complaint has been made against the
concrete work being done in the City Hall
basementunder Bateman Brothers contract.
This firm, it appears, sub-let a portion of
its contract for laying the concrete floor in
the basement to Gray Brothers. and it has
been discovered that the work is of an in
ferior quality and not up to the specifca-
tions.
Mayor Sanderson and Auditor Smiley
happened to make this discovery while
about the building noting the progress of
the several departments of work and keep
ing an eve on things in general. The gravel
and other material hauled on to the premises
by Gray Brothers appeared rather peculiar
and it led to an examination Sure enough
it was found below the grade in the specii-
cations and unfit for the use Intended.
The contractors were notified of the short
age and ordered to haul the stuff away at
once, which was done. Meanwhile work on
the contract was ordered suspended by the
Mayor pending an investigation of the part
already completed, and ii it is found to be
short of the requirements payment will be
refused. In all probability, also, it will be
ordered torn up and relaid.
