1t is said that bicycle Authorizations are

Some are unable to ride ON street where
cars pass. They have wild desire to fall
against them. Others when awheel i'm
agine that scorohers are always just be-
hind them. One man consulted ply
sician for trouble with his eyes-the
whole landscape seemed to curl up in

to watch his front wheel; to sit up
straighter. He soon was cured. Many
and strange are the symptoms that de-
velop in some nervous riders.
There has been much discussion con-
corning the size of bullets to be used in
battle, some contending that humanita-
rian feeling dictates that d small bullet be
used which would disable an enemy
without subjecting him to death or an
extreme injury. But recently DR.. Carl
Beck, professor of surgery in the New
York School of Clinical Surgery, made ex
periments at Gorenson's Island which
prove conclusively that a thirty-calibre
bullet fred from a Krag- Jorgensen riff }
produces a ragged wound and badly
results from such wound that the bony
points would pierce surrounding blood
vessels. So some other umeans must be
resorted to if an enemy isto be rendered

1t has often been wondered that Yankee
ingenuity has not long since discovered q

gree of cold. The stove can be cooled so
that if hand be placed upon it the skin

In 1896, when the level of the lakes was
so low, much apprehension was felt lest
permanent change had taken place.
This condition was, however, easily attri-
ubtable to the fact that a smaller quaint
area than the average. The larger area of
land now under cultivation absorbs more
rainfall and less runs into the streams
which help feed the lakes than formerly.
Forests are being cut down and large
surface is exposed to evaporation. Among
artificial causes which would seem likely
in future to lower the level are the Chi
cago drainage canal, which, when fin
ished, will take 800, 900 cubic feet of water
per minute from Lake Michigan; the pro-
Jet for cutting a ship canal between
Lakes Erie and ST. Clair, and the plan for
cutting 14-foot channel throughout the
St. Lawrence river. Other lesser schemes
have the same tendency 1t is said to be
an entirely feasible plan to erect dams at
the outlets of the great lakes and keep the
levels at the desired height. The lake
route of commerce can thus be preserved.
The traffic in 1895 was about 45 900, coo
tons, valued at 500, 900, COO A bushel of
wheat can now be carried from Chicago
to the Atlantic seaboa1d for eight cents;
formerly it cost twenty-six cents This
shows that the preservation of the water
route is question of material import
ance. Notwithstanding all the causes
which tend to lower their level, reports
show that the great fresh water lakes are
higher than last year at this season.
Fishermen on Ontario claim that the
water of that lake is is inches higher
tt an in May, 1896, and three feet above
the level of last summer This increased
volume is probably due to the melting of
the great body of snow which fell last
winter in the drainage area of these ba-
sins and to the abundant rains of this
spring.

Young Man Almost Kicked to Death
at Santa Clara.

Santa Clara, Utah, Nov. 23.-Thomas
II. Adams, resident of Bunkervilie,
Ney., and son Of S. L. Adams Of St.
George, was almost kicked TO death
by a vicious horse. It seems that in
making the trip up from Bunkerville,
be had a partly broke horse, which he
led behind his wagon. About 10 miles
from Santa Clara, something seeming
to be wrong with the horse he was
leading, ne got out to investigate. and
the animal, becoming frightened,
turned on him and kicked him in the
region of the back, breaking his ribs
from the backbone and bruising him
in q frightful manner.
Fortunately, Fritz Reber, jr., of
Santa Clara was along, and was able,
with some difficulty, to bring him in
and take him to his mothers home in
Santa Clara. His agony was excruci-
ating; strong men We're moved to tears
by his sufferings. It is thought that
he will recover.
The Santa Clara people are preparing
to build a large meeting house. The
foundation is already in, and they have
just started to burn 100000 bricks
which they intend to put into the walls
of the structure. The size of the build
ing is about 4Gx65

IFrom The Heraid's Correspondence
Provo, Nov. 26.-William Lewis was
taken from the state asylum today and
brought before Judge Dusenberry to
be examined as to his sanity, in pursu-
ance of the orders or resolutions passed
by the board of directors at their last
session. Mr.. Lewis was put upon the
stand. He bore every evidence of be-
ing sound OF nli,d. He stated that he
was first committed TO the asylum in
September. 1892, il being thought that
he was subject to some hailucinations
of the mind. which caused him TO
take the life Of man living at Sandy.
Witness testified that he actually
thought the victim of this murder was
attempting to take his life, and that a
conspiracy had been formed against
him. AT present he does not entertain
thoughts that any one is in pursuit Of
his life. He sleeps well. eats heartily
and enjoys the best of health.
DR.. Taylor conducted the eXamina-
ton, asking many questions with a
view to discover the weak spot in his
mind, but discovered nothing except
that at the time of the homicide he
was Influenced by these imaginations
that people were conspiring against
him.

such as nervousness, loss of strength,
thin and pale blood, loss Of weight and
lowness of spirits, Paines celery COM
pound is the legitimate and logical cure.
1t overcoInes loss Of nervous power and
lessened power to digest food, by gen
erously feeding the nerves and regu-
lating their action. 1t banishes that
continual tired feeling by cleansing the
blood and clOgging impurities, and by
stirring the kidneys and other purify
ing organs to healthful activity.
Paines celery compound has cured
many and many cases Of dyspepsia,
sleeplessness, disordered liver and
stomach trouble that had puzzled ply
sicians, and the outcome of which
seemd hopeless.
Many obstinately dyspeptic persons
have gotten rid of every distressing
symptom by it's invigorating help
Grave general defects of nutrition that
have shown themselves in a wasted
condition, weakness and loss OF
! strength have repeatedly yielded to this
remarkable remedy.
The worn face that attests loss OF
sleep, soon loses its haggard appear

ished by Paine's celery compound; the

The jury in the case of the Saltair
Beach company against Moses Hallett ct
al. the trial of which was concluded on
Wednesday, came into court yesterday
morning and presented a sealed verdict,
finding that for the condemnation of the
land the defendant was entitled to re
cover s1,25S.20. divided as follows: Value
of the property, S967.50; damages which
will accrue to the portion not sought to
be condemned by the construction OF said
railway, $3.50; cost of good and sufficient
fences along the line of railway adjoining
the defendants land, $140.70.
The suit was brought for the condem-
nation of 81 acres of land for a right OF
way for the defendant company's rail-
way to Saltair beach, and for the assess
ment of the amount to be paid the de-
PENDANTS for the same. The testimony in
troduced by the defendants touching the
valve of the property tended TO show
that in 1892 when the property was APP
proDriated, that it was worth $4,000, anC
the defendants property on each side OF
the track was damaged to the extent OF
$4,000 which. with interest since, would
amount to over $4,000.
Messrs. Richards & Richards represent
ed the Saltair Railway company, anc
Messrs. Marshall & Royle and D. B
Hampstead the defendants.

TOWN OF SANTA CLARA.
Thrifty and Prosperous Community
in Southwestern Utah.

in Southwestern Utah.
st. George, Utah, Nov. 22.-The COM
munity of Santa Clara is composed of
a careful, thrifty hardy race of Teu-
tonic origin, who emigrated here from
the mountains of Switzerland, bringing
with them the courage and hardihood
acquired through years OF toll and dan
ger, endured in their native land.
These, coupled with that plodding
steadiness for which these people are
SO noted, form the prime essentials OF
success in the establishment of q set
tlement in the arid regions of the west.
These people have built up one of
the most progressive. Self-supporting.
independent towns in southern Utah.
They have practically no poor among
them. Their grain and fruit crops far
exceed their own needs, and a large
revenue is obtained by trading these
and q great variety of other products
at Phoebe, De Lamar and other mining
camps.
They usually have from four to six
missionaries out in the field, and these
young men, returning with the expert
ence gained abroad, keep the progress
sive spirit constantly alive. They main
tain good schools. All are out of debt
and possess their own homes.
| About their only drawback is that
the land is all taken up and the i'm
mense number of young people grow
! ing up will have to push out and seek
/ homes elsewhere. This has already
commenced, some now being located in
| St. George and Washington.
! They are a most orderly people. and
! it is a rare thing for case at law tC
arise among them. In fact, SO seldom
is it that the legal mill grinds, that the
| justice and constable are the least
known among them, and though q
Wine-making community, very little
! drinking prevails and the use of to-
bacco is the exception rather than the
