A New Summer Resort.
JUDGE RHoNE's PLAN TO CONVERT THE
HUNTINGTON VALLEY INTO A SUM
NfER CITY.

Judge Rhone, ever alert to advance
the material interests of Huntington
Valley, has project on foot to build
a dam at high bridge, along the turn
pike, and make an immense lake
covering the land lying between that
point and Town Line. This was orr
ginally vast lake, the outlet furnish
ing the motive power for a grist mill
in Hopkins glen which ground the
whole product Of the early Huntington
settlers. The area that would be
flooded is between two and three hun
dred acres, and is full of crystal
springs, one having a discharge that
would fill two-inch pipe.
Judge Rhone's plan is to stock the
lake with fish and sell the lots along
the banks to people from the neigh
boring towns and cities who are in
search of wholesome air and pure
water. The proposed lake would be
within three miles Of Shickshipny and
on the line Of the projected electric
railway to Harveyville. The land that
will be flooded is too wet to be valua-
bic for farming purposes and the farm
ers are ready to dispose of it at its act
ual value. The farm of Mr.. ]. D.
Woodwork will be largely covered
and parts Of those adjoining.
County Surveyor Crockett made a
survey Of the property on Monday and
Will make an accurate estimate of the
number of acres flooded and the size
of the dam required
Huntington Valley is an inviting
spot for a summer resort and if Judge
Rhone succeeds in his scheme it will
make boom in surrounding real es-
tate. A summer population such as a
lake of this kind would draw, would
make home market that would set
the farmer on his high horse. -Shich-

From the Moon to Iowa.

believe it is now pretty generally
admitted that aerolites or meteorites
come from volcanoes on the moon.
One of the most remarkable of these
falls Of stones from the upper region
of the air occurred in May, 1879, the
stones falling upon the farm of Mrs.
c. H. Perry, of Emmett County,
Iowa. Efforts were made to have the
stone removed to the museum of the
Davenport, Ia, Academy of Science,
but as auch proceeding would en-
tail an expense of something like $500
the mossbacks OF that institution let
the scheme fall through, the attempt
to raise the money having resulted in
flat failure. Finally Mr. Berge, Of
Keokuk, made a trip to Emmett
County for the porpose of inspecting
the curiosity.
After giving it thorough chemical
examination he came to the conclus-
ion that it was unlike anything in the
aerolite line that had ever been
attracted to our globe. BY a fine
system of chemical test he found that
it was composed of earth, triolite, iron
nickle, cobalt, gold, silica, magnesia,
alumina, soda, lithia, and potassium.
Berge bought the oddity off Mrs
Perry for $r6o and gave the tenant
of the farm $50 more for his fright"
and his help. 1t was removed to
Keokuk and exhibited there for some
time. AT last the curators of the
British Museum, who had learned of
the odd combination of minerals
in the stones makeup, sent an agent
to purchase it. After much pickering
the royal institution gave Mr.. Berge
$1,000 for his "moonstone. 1t
weighed 43I pounds.

BERGMAN SENTENCED.
TwENTY-ONE YEARS IN PRISON.

PfTrsBURc, Sept. 49, Alexander Berg
man, the Anarchist, who tried to kill
II. {. Frick, was placed on trial this
morning in the criminal court, Judge
McClung presiding. Bergman was
cool and looked well. He pleaded
not guilty to the six charges of feloni-
Gus assault and battery, entering a
building with felonious intent and car
rying concealed weapons. He had no
counsel. and preferred to conduct his
own case. A jury was obtained with
trouble and the case was opened.
II. G. Frick was the first witness.
He told of Bergman's visit to his Office
previous to the shooting, and recited
the story of the attempted assassina-
tlon. The clothing worn by him on
the day of the assault was exhibited.
The coat and trousers were blood
stained and filled with holes. When
they were shown Bergman coolly leaned
forward, but did not seem to take any
interest in the exhibit
Ae was asked if he wanted to ask
any questions, and replied 81 want to
ask him if l said l wanted to shoot
Mr.. Leishman for I did not"
The witness said he did not know
whether he did or not"
THAT is all, said the defendant. ~
have no more questions"
DR.. Litchfcld described the nature
of Mr.. Frick's wounds. Vice Chair
man Leishmans testimony in the main
was confederation of the evidence
given by Mr.. Frick.
When Judge McClung asked Berg
man if he had anything to say he pro
duced a phamphlet, from which he
started to read. Judge McClunS tried
to hold him to discussion of facts,
but Bergman continued in wild sort
Of harangue until Judge McClung fin
ally stopped him. In giving his mo.
tive for the crime Bergman said: 'My
reason for my act was to free the earth
of the oppressors of the workingmen.
I wanted to punish him, not murder
him. l did not assault Mr.. Frick but
the person who had oppressed organ
lied labor. / recognize no man by a
name, but the cause of the trouble,
and wanted to remove the cause"
Here the court interrupted him. "You
have had your time," said the court.
"and you must stop. We have been
too indulgent,'
The case was then given to the jury,
and without leaving the box verdict
of guilty was found The defendant
was at once called for and Sentenced
and said: 81 did not expect justice
and l did not get it,"
He was then sentenced to twenty
one years imprisonment in the peni-
Tertiary on the five charges of felonl-
Gus assault and entering building
with felonious intent, and one year to
the workhouse for carrying concealed
weapons. Bergman looked sullen and
throwing back his head put his hat on
and started to leave the room. He
was at once taken in charge and re-
moved to Jail.
On his arrival at the penitentiary
Bergman was carefully searched. 1t
is believed that if opportunity offers
he will carry out his threat of suicide,
and for that reason he will be closely
watched and kept in close confinement
for six months.

They gave him welcome that was
fairly unbounded in = its kindly en-
thusiasm, and before the curtain had
gone down on the first act they were
convinced that he lost none of his
former power, and had gained some.
He was the same Frank Mayo they
had seen before. But there were
other improvements. The remark
able little drama "Davy Crockett,
which displays the simplest and
purest affections in chastely, heroic
style of art, was given a superior
production. The scenery was especially
good, the costumes were attractive
and the company, as whole, was
able and had been we'll trained to do
the best that was in them. The general
effect, for such a production, was
strikingly impressive. The play is
superior in some respects to anything
of its kind offered from the stage

WHEAT INVESTIGATION.

Probability That the Minnesota Com
mittee Will Drop Its Inquiries.
ST. PAUL, Jan. 5.-When the wheat
investigation committee appointed by
the last legislature adjourned last sum-
mer 1t was to meet again on the first
Tuesday in January. 1892. c. A. Sew
erance, one of the attorneys represent
ing the elevator interests, was seen at
his residence on Summit avenue, and
asked what he knew about the resump-
ton of the inquiry
mot a thine" Y, was his replv. ssThe
adjournment was until Jan. 5, and I
presume the committee will meet at the
capitol, but I have not seen a meTiper
of the committee in long time, and
know nothing of what is proposed to be
DONE"
W. w. Erwin, counsel for the Grain
Growers Association, was also seen and
stated that he knew absolutely nothing
az TO the intention of the grain growers.
81 have not seen or talked with men,
Der of the association since the adjourn
ment, said he, land do not even know
whether OF not it is their intention to
pursue the matter any further"
The fact that Mr.. Erwin has not been
advised by the Grain Growers associa-
ton of its future plans, naturally leads
to the inference that possibly the inves.
tigation will not be pushed and that the
making up of report would constitute
their sole business at this time.
