A Natural M arvol.

The Grand Canyon of the Colorado in Arizona stands out pre-eminently as one of the great natural wonders of the world-one where Mother Nature determined to outdo herself. Like the falls of Niagara, the Grand Canyon is sui generis. It stands in a class of it's own. The natural marvel has hitherto been comparatively little visited be- cause it has been off the beaten line of travel, and nowadays people are so spoiled by modern improvements that they look upon a stage ride of fifty miles or so in about the same light as our fathers did upon wagon journey from St. Joe to Salt Lake. This will soon be changed says the Los Angeles Times. A railroad has been built to within few miles of the canyon, and will soon be at the brink. From now on few tourists will think of visiting the southwest without putting the Grand Canyon in their itinerary.
 In addition to it's scenic beauty the Grand Canyon is known to contain mineral wealth. Many lodges of cop per, gold and silver have been located there. Recently big discovery of platinum was announced, but it proved to be q false alarm. Now it is said that tin deposits of great value have been located in the main gorge. It would be something like dissertation to see stamp mills and hoisting works going up alongside of this marvellous freak of nature, but we may be sure they will be brought in if the stuff is there to justify it.

TO PREVENT HAILSTORMS.
Acetylone is Vsed for This Purpose In
 France.

Additional interest will be centered upon the acetylene gas display at the Pan. American Exposilisn because of the fact that in France an acetylene cannon is used by the wine growers to prevent hailstorms.
 The explosive agent used in the gun is a mixture of acetylene and air, and it is fired by an electric igniter. The use of acetylene in gun is designed to obviate the necessity of keeping sup ply of explosive material on hand for charging the gun.
 The cannon is connected with an acetylene generator, and is thus al- ways ready for use.
 It is stated that 65 pounds of carbide serves for about l l,0OO charges, and will last six months.
 The valve between the explosion chamber and the acetylene generator IS controlled electrically, and the oper- ation of the gun consists in closing the gas-valve circuit for few seconds, then opening it and closing the igniter circuit to fire the charge.
 It is said that battery of guns may be installed, covering a large area. and be fired simultaneously from one station by single operator.
 In sections of the United States where hailstorms do great damage, a similar acetylene gun might be made to do good service.

changed for this evening, in that the meeting will be open to the public, and Mr. Reid will talk about the famed snake dances of the Moqui In- dians, with which he is very familiar. This is a fascinating subject, as the strange rite is practiced only by these people. The entertainment will be free, and an invitation is extended to all to be present. MT. Walbridge will describe the ice caves near Flagstaff, which are such curiosity, and others will probably speak of other points of interest.

Fairnont Evening Times.
1t is not known what effect the pur-
chase of the Ohio River Railroad by
the Baltimore & Ohio will have upon
the business Of the State, but if the B.
& o. takes care of it's local patrons
along that line as well as it has along
its main line the residents of the Ohio
valley may be congratulated upon the
change Of ownership. After a time
new officials will be put in charge Of
the Ohio River road and doubtless its
affairs will be managed according to
business principles and not by moods
caused by bad digestion or a heated
imagination. The present manage
ment, which has controlled hat line
for some years on the principle that
the public be d, will soon retire
and its going will meet with as little
opposition from the public as any
change that has taken place in this
State for many years.

PAID THE PENALTY.
Frank wennerbolm EIectrocDteh for
the Murder of His Sweetheart.

AUBURN, N. Y, July 16.-Tall. pale,
gaunt and extremely boyish-looking
Frank Wennerholm, aged q, was con-
Quoted into the death chamber OF Au-
burn prison at 6:24 this morning and
| two minutes later he was pronounced
dead. Electrician Davis gave him 1900
volts. 7 amperes, as official figures OF
the e~lectrocution.
Wennerholm bore up bravely until
the mask was adjusted, when he
groaned audibly and his hands shook
violently, even though his wrists were
strapped to the chair. This was kept
I'D until the current ended all. Smoke
assembled from the leg electrode, which
the electrician said was the scorchinG
of the sponge. 1t was believed that
death was instantaneous, as the stetho-
! scopes did not reveal a futter OF the
heart, and there was scarcely a muscle
| contraction after the shock. The volt
age was gradually diminished and twice
repeated. An autopsy followed later
| and the remains were delivered to the
| dead mans sister, who accompanied the
body to jamestown.
Frank Wennerholm paid the penalty
for the purder Of Miss Emily Adolph-
| son at Auburn. He was a resident or
jamestown, N. Y. On the evening of
September %, 1899, three men who
were crossing a bridge at Falconer,
near jamestown, heard cries for help.
Rushing to the spot they made out the
outline of a body floating in the stream
and heard some person rushing away
through the underbrusln. They hauled
the body out and discovered the throat
slashed from ear to ear. The victim,
who was still conscious, made futile
attempts to speak, but died before
their eyes.
When the identity of the young wo-
man was established. the police began
to suspect her lover Of having COM
mitted the horrible crime. "A visit
was made to his rooms and Wenner-
holm was found in bed. A search OF
the room brought to view a pair of
wet trousers covered with mud and
blood. a vest in the same condition,
shoes and stockings soaking with water
and in a trunk a bloody handkerchief
and a white shirt with the bosom
heavily spattered with blood. The man
was at once placed under arrest and
was indicted, tried and convicted.
The theory is that Wennerholm be-
came tired of Miss Adolphson and to
prevent the wedding which was to oe.
cur soon, killed her. The case went
to the court of appeals and then to
Governor Odell, the first of the year,
granted a respite until the week OF
July .J6. Wennerholm's attorneys then
claimed they had found new evidence
and also that the prisoner was insane.
Justice White refused a new trial last
week, and Monday Governor Odell re-
fused to interfere further.

but she broke before the first turn and
Eleata took the lead as they turned fos

Neya Simmons took second in this heat
by splendid'trotting on the back stretch
after driver'Price had gotten her on her
feet again. Eleata was in front all Inc
way In the second heat, although Coun-
try J. made a strong bid in the stretch.
Going steady as a clock. the black mare
took the third heat in record time and
was greeted with, enthusiastic cheers as
she came under the wire with Driver
Marsh loking back and, shaking his head
at the others six to ten length in the
rear.

field. He was still a 2 to 1 favorite after
losing the first heat to Braden, h won
the second heat and race from Captain
Potter after a fierce drive in the stretch.
soralma was a prohibitive favorite in
the last event of the day, the POS trot.
The Monk broke badly at the start of
the first heat and just got inside the
flag. but in he second made Boralma go
under his record to win.

One. Fender, an alleged pitcher, step
ped on the rubber, and they swished and
-sratted his curves all over the lot I'M
til Fender hadn't any more heart than a
little yaller dog. When the sphere went
over it was given such a lambasting that
Fender tried another scheme in the sew
enth.
He sent the first two batsmen over on
wide ones, soaked the third batsman ii
the ribs, and then issued passes to two
more, deliberately forcing two runners
across the plate. II was the worst ever.
The N5ilers finally got a surfeit of the
good thing, and refused to pile up any
more runs.
All the home players got safe ones
except Fox. who was prevented from
fattening his batting average by a circus
catch in centre and a hair raising stop
OF a liner by. Flynn. Killen managed
to drive out two triples and a double,
and Kenna was kept busy on the bases,
being retired but once out Of five times
up. He drove two long flies to Hay
worth, and he muffed both. but thsy
were rather difficult chances. Fender
had stage fright when Knoll faced him
and allowed the centre fielder 10 walk
four times to the initial bag.

two batsmen and was touched up In
eight innings for thirteen safe hits with
a total OF twenty-eight bases, There IS

The Muncie players couldn't hit

while he was in the box. Kenna would
probably have been steadier if the score
