TAINTED IN COURT.
Mrs. Hamilton Collapsed and Arraignment
Had to lie Postponed.

Salt Lake City, May 24.-Mrs. Lou
Hamilton, who is charged with the
murder of her husband, is very sick
woman. Ever since her preliminary
examination, which occurred four
weeks since she has been physical
wreck, almost, and in spite of the tes-
timony of five physicians that she is
sick, and would remain so until
needed surgical operation should be
performed, there has been a suspicion
held by certain officials and shared in
a measure by the public, that she was
only shamming. This, too, in spite of
the fact that she has been too weak to
sit up most of the time, and has had
any number of fainting spells, remain
ing unconscious for hours at time,
This feeling has beenso strong as to
prevent her removal to hospital
where she might have proper
treatment. 70 relieve this opinion it
required an effort to arraign the pris-
oncr. DIR. Belle Gemmell, the deputy
county physician in charge, having
expressed an opinion that the prisoner
might without danger be arraigned,
she was ordered into court. Mrs.
Hamilton stood the trip TO the City
md county building fairly well, but
swooned while being almost carried
up the first fight of stairs She was
placed on the elevator and taken into
the court room. Her attorney object
ed to the arraignment, basing his OBJ
lection upon the apparent condition
of the prisoner. DR.. Gemmell, upon
Inquiry from the court, said the at
tack was only temporary, and court
was adjourned till l2 for the prisoner
to recuperate. At IL She was still un-
conscious and court was adjourned
until 3. Before the latter hour the
prisoner was returned to Jail still un-
conscious, the combined efforts of six
physicians having failed to arouse her.

The Pioneer Power Plant is Tested and
Works Satisfactorily.


Ogden, May 24.-Saturday the water
passed over the wheels in the power
house of the Pioneer Electric Power
company and for few hours a part of
the great system was in operation, al
though the wheels We're turned but
lowly in order to allow them to wear
heir bearings smooth before makinga a
speed test. The water was first al
lowed to run over one of the big wheels
which ran smoothly, and then num-
Der of the exciters were run and tested
and the fact demonstrated that cleo
tricity can be generated at any and all
times by the fall of Ogden river. The
test was in every respect successful and
satisfactory and it has been demon
strated that every thing will be in
readiness to generate the fluid as soon
as the transmission lines are ready to
carry it away,
| Five wheels are now in and five
more will be put in right away, the
ten wheels giving a working force
equal to 10000 horsepower, although
the volume of water would run twen-
ty such wheels having a motive force
equalling 10000 horsepower. Wires
are being strung from different manu-
factories that will use the power ant
it will also be used to operate an elec
tric car line between Salt Lake City

Noted swimmer Asphy1lat ed.

Stockton, Cal, May 2+.-The death
of Charles Cavill. the noted Australian
swimmer, here is ascribed to peculiar
cause. He was asphyxiated by gas in
stead of being drowned. The Stock
ton baths, where the fatal exhibition
was given, are filed with water from
natural wells, and gas arises in the
water in the tank.
Cavill's exhibition of staying under
water for several minutes is said TO be
trick to fool the people, for the swim
mer used and inverted tub containing
air, in which to breathe while he was
under water. The tub used last night
was placed in the water during the day
and left, with sufficient air for the eX-
hibitor to breathe for several minutes.
Cavill went down and went under the
tub, as he had planned, and there died.
Drs. Manley and HinlIle, who were
called in, say there was no water in
the lungs and that Cavill was asphyXi-
ated by gas.

Washington, May 22.-The idea of

il is possible an amendment, creating

Globe Democrat. So fascinating Is the
home of this lodge that some members
OF the order in nearby towns have
transferred their membership to 1t.
Gap Creek lodge has been holding its
meetings in this cave for more than
year, having rented the subterranean
chamber from its owner, DIR. Nathaniel
Hyder. The lodge has a membership
Of seventy-five, which includes many of
the best men In Carter county. This
strange lodge room is located in an
elevated strip Of woodland The en-
trance to 1t faces the east, and on ap-

OIlinr the Harness.

Harness will last much longer and |
look much better If kept well oiled, and
will not get so stiff after being exposed
to a days rain, says Journal Of Agri-
culture. During the spring 1t is diff
ficult to keep harness from getting wet,
and it will pay well before the seasons
work begins to see that 1t is thoroughly
oiled In doing the work, the harness
should be taken apart. washed clean,
using warm water and CASTLE soap, and
then wiped dry, when the oil should be
applied. If so clean that washing is not
needed, it will be better to wipe off with
a wet rag as the oiling can be done bet
ter. 1t is best to take harness all
apart, in order to get at all of the parts
and oil thoroughly. Good harness oil
can be purchased all ready for use, or
neatsfoot oil, with a little lamp black,
will be found good. IL the harness has
not been oiled for some time and Is
hard and dry, 1t will be begt u go over
them twice; finishing all up, and then
commencing with the first piece and
going over again. After every part has
been thoroughly oiled, 1t should all be
and allowed to dry. 1t should not be
hung in the sun or where the wind
strikes, as it will dry too rapidly. The
oil should have plenty of, time to soak
in. Like most other work on the farm,
if undertaken it will pay to do well.

THE. HUM AN CHAIN.

On the 9th OF last January Leon
Watson, Lyman Warren and several
other boys were skating on Leconey's
pond, near Pensauken, N. J. Most OF
them were staying near shore as they
considered the ice dangerous at the.
middle OF the pond, where also the
water was fifteen feet deep. But Ly-
man Warren, not so wise as his COM
panions, struck out suddenly for the
middle of the pond.
As suddenly the ice gave way, and In
moment Lyman was struggling in
the icy water. He clung to the edge Of
the broken ice, but 1t was too thin to
hold him, and broke off as fast as he
caught hold He struggled hard to
keep his head above water, but II he
could swim at all, his skates and the
coldness of the water prevented him
from doing so now.
The other boys skated as near as the
yielding ice would let them, and then
for few moments looked on in horror
at Lyman's struggles. The ice would
not bear a skater on his legs up to
within a dozen feet OF where the boy
was drowning. There was no pole nor
tree, and of course not rope within
reach. But the boys could not let their
companion drown! One Of them. Leon
Watson, had heard OF the human
chain,' for such rescues, and resolved
to put it into operation.
LEON lay down on the ice near the
hole, his head and hands toward Ly-
man. Then another boy lay down.

lay down and held his ankles, and SO

along to the very edge Of the hole. Il
the ice broke through with him. 30 that
/ he should presently find himself In the
water, he did not much care. for he
felt sure that the other boys would
cling to him and fish both hirrl and and ls !;
man out.
But the Ice did not break. Thin ice
