American Energy. Ability and Pow.
er ia Constructing the Atbara
Bridge ExtO1ed.

Cairo, Aug. 2S.-In the course of his
speech, h,Saturday,a the opening of the
Atbara bridge, which was construct
ed by Il Philadelphia firm, after COM
petition with British firms for the
contract, the sidar, Lord Kitchener
of khartoum, said:
The construction of this magnifi-
cent bridge, l think, may fairly be
considered a record achievement. So
faf as the failure of the efforts to
place the construction order in En-
gland is concerned, l think it demon
strates that the relations between la
bor and capital there are not sufficient
to give confidence to the capitalist and
to induce him to take the risk of es-
tablishing up-to-date workshops that
would enable Great Britain to main
tain her position as the first construct
ing nation in the world.
But as Englishmen failed, l am de-
lighted that our cousins across the
Atlantic stepped in. This bridge is due
to their energy, ability and power to
turn out works of magnitude in less
time than anybody else. [ congratu-
late the Americans on their success in
the erection of a bridge in the heart
of Africa. They have shown real grit
far from home, in the hottest month
of the year, not depending upon the
labor of foreigners"

Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug. 2S.-A spe.

says:
''One iron mining company of the
lake region, the Oliver, is employing at
this time 1000 men, which is more
than any mining concern in the world
except the Calumet and Hecla. The
Oliver company is mining at 10 Ioines
and is exploring at nearly as many
more which it has either under option
to buy or has already bought. Its
output this year will be very close to
4,OOO,O tons, and may exceed that
figure little. Its daily payroll is
about $1,000. All it's output except a
sixth that is sold at current prices t.
the National Steel Co, goes at cost
of mining to the Carnegie Steel Co., as
go the profits on what ore it sells to
the National. It's tonnage this year
will be greater than was ever put out
by any company in the history of min
ing. 1t pays the highest-going wages,
has.no trouble with its men and is in
every sense n remarkable concern. As
the result of its ownership of the Oil
yer company's stock, the Carnegie
Steel Co. has been able to undersell

A Blind Mans Fury.

Andrew Cornelius. blind man, as
saulted and fatally wounded William
ROok, the proprietor of a wagon yard
in Springfield. Cornelius is a wander
ing hand organ grinder, who travels
about the country with woman who
is also blind. He has been allowed to
frequent Rocks wagon yard.
He went to the wagon yard and as
sailed Rook with vile language because
of some fancied grievance. Rooi1 paid
but little attention to Cornelius, hav-
ing no thought of attack from Great
ure apparently so much of an imbeclle.
His indifference fired the blind man
with rage, and before Rook could COM
prehend what was happening, Corne-
Illus was upon him, plunging coarse
bladed pocket-knife into him with tell
ing effect. Rook tried to snake off the
blind man, but he was unequal To the
emergency. Faster and more furious
came the knife thrusts. Bystan;iers
who might have stayed the murderous
hand were too disconcerted for prompt
and effective action. The doctors say
Rock can not live.

DESTRUCTIVE FOREST FIRLs.
laramie County, Wyoming, Visit Il
Much Valuable Timber
Destroyed.

Omaha, Neb., Aug. 2s.-A Bee spe-
,ial from Cheyenne, Wyo.. says:
Immense forest fires are raging
about Laramie peak, in the northern
part of Laramie county. The fires, have
been burning for the past ten days
and have destroyed a large quantity
of valuable timber. The fires have
been reported to Special Agent Abbott,
who will at once make an effort to
have them extinguished, although it
is feared they have obtained such n
headway that this will be impossible
unless the region is visited oy rain.
The Laramie Peak district suffered
greatly last year from forest fires,
much valuable timber being de-
stroyed.'
