gage bondholders.
Would Soon Divide tho Property.
Nh. Spooner and Mr.. Turner con.
tended for the recognition of the juris-
diction of the circuit court for the
Eastern district of Wisconsin on the
ground that the proceedings for a re-
ceiver were originally begun in that
court in 1898, and that all the
other courts had recognized this
jurisdiction until August, 1895,
and Mr.. Choate agreed with him on
this point. Mr.. Cardoza's argument
was for the recognition of the Mime.
sofa court, and MI. Pettit's for that OF
the State of Washington.
During his argument, ex-senator
Spooner said that if the present condi.
| ton of aft airs was allowed to continue
the road would 800 be split in two,
and it would be necessary to operate il
as two separate lines, to the great in.
jury of all interests, and he asserted
that it was a matter of bpt a few days
when a separate organization would be

An Early BetrOthal.

In tho early days Of California the
daughters of the Lugos were sought in
marriage by the best families Of the
state. 1t was a boast that they were
even conrted in the cradle, as When the
young officer, Colonel Ignacio Vallejo,
being in San Luis Obispo on the occa-
sion Of the birth of a daughter to the
Lugos, asked her father for the hand of
the day old baby, provided when the
time came to fulfill the contract the Sc
norita should be willing. This seeming
ly absurd betrothal took place. The
child grew up to be an intelligent as
we'll as attractive young woman, mar.
ried her betrothed and became the
mother of many children, among them

Perilous Adventure Of an Acrobat Under
the Niagara Falls.

the Niagara Falls.
II was pretty near heaven for half an
hour" said H. G. Prentice, the acrobat.
Acrobat Prentice's remark just quoted
was the prelude to the story he told the
Buffalo Express reporter of his adven-
lures while viewing Niagara falls for
the first time.
Mr.. Prentice and Thomas Adamson
went to the falls, and they tried to keep
together as they went from point to
point viewing all the famous spots about
the cataract. They spent an hour or so
In viewing the falls from above, and
then they put on rubber suits and start
ed below. They went down the elevator
and then down the stairway to the
rocks. After a time they concluded that
they had seen all that was to be seen
below, and were upon the point of re-
turning when Prentice told Adamson to
60 and ask one Of the guides if there
were anything else to be seen down
there. Mr.. Adamson turned about and
went to hunt for the guide. He was
gone about five minutes, and when he
came back his friend Prentice was
missing. AdamsOn was puzzled at the
disappearance Of Prentice. Adamson
had spent about half an hour looking
for Prentice, when the news reached
him that his companion had been found
down between the rocks up to his neck
in water. In a few minutes after thu
news reached AdansOn he was Joined
by Prentice. who told Of his experiences
after Adam.on had left him to look for
the guide.
Mr.. Prentice said that after Adamsor
turned back he thought he would walk
down into a gully between the rocks.
He noticed that it was comparatively
dry there. He was therefore cOnsidera.
bly, surprised sCCn after he got down
into the gully to have a stream of wa
ter two feet deep and moving with
great violence strike him in the back
Of the legs. The stream was so strong
that it staggered him, and to avoid be
ing swept from his feet and carried on
into the river he crouched down in an
angle of one Of the rocks, with his back
to the torrent and braced himself to re-
sist the power of the stream that had
cut off his line Of retreat. He had hold
Of the edge Of the rock with his hands
and he did not dare to let go for fear
the current would sweep him out from
behind the angle. He yelled for help,
but the noise of the water drowned his
cries. AT one time he looked over the
edge Of the rock and saw the Maid of
the Mist 100 feet away in the river. He
shook his head, hoping that the passen.
gers Oh the little beat would notice the
motion, but no one saw him.
After he crOuched down behind the
rock the water washed over his body VI
to his neck. He was on the point Of Civ
ing up when a stranger who had also
come down to the rocks saw him an(
notified the guides. Prentice was hauled
out with a pole. The stream Of water
that surprised him came from a millrac'
that is closed part of the time.

HARD ROAD IN SAND.
New Jerseys Road Commissioner Tells
 How to Build One.

New Jerseys Road Commissioner Tells
 How to Build One.
 How can hard road be made from one that is all sand, when there is but very little loam to be had7
 No mention is made of any kind of material whatever, as being available. It is, therefore, inferred that perma- nent roadbed is desired. for which purpose I would recommend a mac adam roadbed, ten or twelve feet wide and six, eight or ten inches thick, ac- cording to the probable traffic over the road. A sandy bottom makes the best foundation for telford or macadam road. Wet sand becomes hard, an il lustration of which is to be seen upon the seashore. Wet clay becomes a sticky mass, and will ooze up between stone or brick. Hence, for a sandy road, grade and prepare the roadbed. After the proper excavation is made for the stone construction. should the bed be mass of loose sand for several inches, plank should be set on edge on each side of the space excavated. If water be handy, sprinkle the bottom and, if possible, roll it, then apply the stone for the bottom course all the way across the roadbed from plank to plank. Thoroughly roll, then put on the finishing courses and con- tinue the rolling until the road is compact and solid. A little clay or loam or slight coating of stone dust as binder on the bottom course, might be used to advantage be- fore applying the second course. Hav- ing thoroughly rolled the completed stone work, remove the plank and fill in the space with three or four inch stone and ram or roll them solid. Bank up the sides with earth, using loam or clay. If this is not available, after sloping the sides to conform to the arch of the stone work, clean out the ditches on each side, spread the turf, grass and mud on top of the sand bank ing the stone, and roll it firm. If there is not sufficient of this material to make the basis for a sward, SOW rye or crimson clover, and such grass seed as may be best suited to the locality and encourage a growth that will prevent washing, and also make foundation for the support of vehicles when pass ing each other, as well as make firm shoulder to hold the stone roadbed in position. A road of this character, ii not over ninety miles from the quar- ries, should be built six inches deep (which will answer On many cross county roads, for about forty-five cents per square yard.
