NEW DEs MONIES VIADUcT.
Largest Bridge in West to be Built at
r- Once

Fort Dodge, Oct. 3.-Ltcal officials
who have charge of the erection Of
the Des Moines river viaduct, which
will not only be one of the largest
railroad bridges in the west, but a
most important step in the building Of
the Great Westerns extension to
Omaha, say that they expect to begin
TIE erection of steel on the big struc-
ture next week. From that time work
will be rushed with the utmost speed
with the end in view of completing
the viaduct in ninety days. More
than a third of the steel required for
the bridge is already on the ground
and much more is on the way here.
Bridge Engineer H. c. Keith says the
only reason why the work has not al.
ready begun is that some of the mills
have erred in their shipments, send,
ing parts OF the steel not required fol
the beginning of the work and failing
to send the necessary material. This
matter, however. has been remedied
and work is assured Of beginning next
week sla,-

young woman at the home of JOHN

eat of Miss Augustine, the only oc-

and they pointed a gun at her and
compelled her to cook meal. At
ter the tramps had eaten and forced
her to do their bidding, they told the
woman that they would return in
three hours and if she gave the alarm
they would kill her. Upon the return
of Mr.. Shirly the young woman was
found on the floor in a state of col

Stag Steam Geae.aiOI.

AT the Canrnea copper works,
says the RU'er, has just been COM
pleted a series of successful tests
Of II Stag steam generator, and re-
suits have proven it without don t
the most important invention
which has been added to ore re-
duction mechanism in many years.
The principle or which the gen
orator is constructed is II novel and
interesting one and may be des-
cribed as follows: The generator
consists Of two immense boilers,
one set on top Of the other, III d
the two connected by sort of
valve large enough for the Stag to
drop through. The Stag from the
smclter furnace is run through a
large settler, covered to prevent
the escape Of heat.
When desired valve at the top
of The upper boiler is opened and
the molten Stag is run into a Stag
bucket above the water in the
boiler, and fitting so closely that
no steam escapes around it. Then
the valve is closed and by lever
Stag bucket is inverted The Stag
usually breaks into fragments
about the size Of gravel us soon us
il strikes the water. This, how.
ever, is insured by its striking
against iron CRATE. The great
er part Of the heat is taken from it
hete.
Then the valve at the bottom Of
the upper boiler is opened, and
the Stag gravel drops into the
the lower boiler. By the time it
reaches the bottom of the lower
boiler it is pretty well cooled.
Then the valve. between the two
boilers is closed and the water is
pumped from the lower into the
upper boiler, which is opened and
the Stag gravel falls into Il Car and
is rolled away TO the dump.
Tie new generator will be about
thirty five feet high as it is neces-
sary to get the whole apparatus up
high enough to employ gravity in
its. operation. Altogether it is a
ounderful utilizing Of power that
has hitherto gone entirely to waste
and aside from the fuxes it practi-
cally Imcvts tEe fuel question for

MARK SMITHS WORK.

Owing to the diIigent and intel
Iigont work Of Mark Smith, c
statehood bill has passed the pop.
ular branch of Congress, the
branch elected by the people.
What the other fellows will do re
mains to be seen. SO bitter was
the opposition to the bill by the
majority leaders in the House that
Mr.. Smith hardly closed his eyes
from the time the bill was called
up on Thursday until the final vote
was taken, so aiduous was the
work to keep waveriug ones in
line and so great was the nervous
strain that after .Mr. Smith had
finished his speech, which closed
the debate, he fell unconscious to
the floor and the doctors feared
apoplexy, but happily, later dis,
patches state that lie is rapidly re-
covering and is pclhaps 10y this
time al his post pushing the bill
in the Senate.
The sympathy Of the people OF
the who Territory went out to
Mr.. Smith when the news came
that he had been atrickcn and NJ "
every heart is glad that he is rapid
ly 'vcril &.
The passage of the bill in the
House was grand victory, and il
il can be called up IN the senate

by many that the Statehood bill
