UNIQUE WEDDING OF .MuTEs.
Languages In Finger Talk and Ars Acquainted Four Days.

A wedding with unusual features was held the other morning at the residence of Justice N. A. Ladd, at Madison, Wis, when Michael Wolf, of Arcadia, Wis, and Miss Bessie Ander- son, pretty Madison girl, both deaf mutes, were married. The couple met for the first time only four days ago and spent the intervening time in courting, get ting acquainted and devising a com mon language, for the groom, being a German, cannot understand writ ten English nor the reading of the lips, by which his more accomplished bride receives communication from friends. He uses finger talk" entire- ly. None of the parents of either of the principals is a deaf mute. Mr. Wolf is stone cutter, the son of well-to-do parents, while his bride lived at Madison with her mother and stepfather. Owing to the language difficulty, the questions and answers of the wedding ceremony were re- duced to writing, a long, amusing and pantomimic performance. They were attended by MT. and Mrs. Robert Pedder, of Arcadia, also deaf mutes, but who have a bright, talkative lit- tie son with them. It was through Mrs. Pedder that their union was brought about. She was the girl chum of the bride at deaf mute school Recently she proposed mar riage to her two friends. They found the idea agreeable and she came on and assisted in the details The bride and groom left for Arcadia, where they will live.

BODIES PETRIFY IN GRAVES.
Cemetery Located at Ely, Minn., Turns All Remains Inferred
 Into stone.

The old cemetery at Ely, Minn., is bed of petrifactions, many of the bodies buried there having turned 70 stone The discovery was made the other day when the work of trans ferring the bodies to the new ceme- tery was begun. The first graves opened were those of Henry Polking- horn and Adam Penglase who died ten years ago, and when the work men undertook to lift the collins out of the graves they were unable to move them.
 When the lids were raised it was found that the bodies had turned to stone. The flesh tints still remained and the clothing looked as bright and fresh as it did the day of the funeral until exposed to the air, when it crumbled to pieces. So heavy were the bodies that it took the com bined strength of five men to remove them.

SPEND A NIGHT OF TERROR.
Thrilling Experience of Two Farnne rs in Trying to Cross Mis-
 souri River.

J. U. Floerschinger and Nick Nell son, two Cedar county (Neb.) farm CTS, who had spent the day in Tank ton, S. D., left for home in light slSiR the other evening. The night was dark, and the Missouri river full of floating ice. But they anticipated no particular danger as they left the shore and struck out for their homes. Suddenly they struck current of water running at mill-race speed. Somewhat alarmed, they pulled more vigorously, and were soon across the open current, but found their path blocked by heavy gorge of ice, pounding and grinding it's immense blocks against each other, and tower- ing far above their heads one minute, to fall with a tremendous crash back into the river the next. Now thor oughly scared, the voyagers hastily searched in the icy barrier for a channel to the shore, and then des- perately pulled back to return to the South Dakota side A few strong strokes carried them across the roar ing current, only to find that the quantities of ice they had met on that side had also closed in and formed into another wall, as formid- able as the first. During the rest of the night they were forced to battle for their lives against the ice and the angry river which was forced into torrent between the walls on either side and filed with drift chunks that threatened each moment tc wreck their little craft. A hundred times they were ready to give up the un- equal struggle, but again took cour- age to fight little longer. Just at daylight they succeeded in forcing a way through the gorge on the Dakota side, and, more dead than alive, reached the land.

thunder sounded like the roar OF dis

Early yesterday morning residents of
the northwest part of the county, while
coming to Ogden. encountered an army
of small toads in Taylor's precinct
There were millions of them. and the
wagon wheels crushed them by thous-
ands all along the road They were from
en- inch to an inch and a half long. and
one peculiar thing about them was that
they were all moving southwark. AS the
teams approached thousands of them
could be seen jumping out of the way

This is remarkable thing in Utah In

IN FREE TRADE FIGHT
Must Soon Decide Concerning Tax
alton of Imports.

LONDON, Sept. 23.-Arthur r. D. Ell
liot, who has just resigned the financial
secretaryship of the treasury, because of
his disagreement with the views of the
premier. Mr. Balfour, writing to one of
his constituents in Durham City, says
he is in complete agreement with the
free trade views of the former chancel-
lor of the exchequer Mr.. Richie. who
found IL impossible TO hold Office any
longer in a government which is tending
steadily toward a policy of protection.
He could not retain Office without an
entire loss OF self-respect.
The time has arrived, he continues,
when the electors must decide for or
against the policy of taxing imports Of
food, which, though deferred for the mo-
ment, will be the ultimate issue.
Regarding retaliation and fiscal free
dom. Mr. Elliot agrees with Mr.. Ball

should be free to consider cases as they
arise on their merits and take such ac-
tiop as 1t considers right, subject to the
approval OF parliament.
In conclusion, the writer says that he
hopes to retain the confidence of his
constituents at the general election.

RAYNER ENTERS RACE
FOR THE U.S. SENATE
Maryland's Attorney General Would
Wear Toga.

BALTIMORE. Sept. 23.-Isidor Rayner,
attorney general of Maryland. and known
from one end OF the country TO the
other for his efforts in behalf OF Rear
Admiral Schley at that officers recent
trial. announces himself in all the local
newspapers today as a candidate for
United States Senator before the Demo-
cratic party.
Mr. Raynor's decision to enter the
canvass became known in political cir
cles today, and IL came as a bomb into
the camps of Senator German and Gov
ernor Smith. The latter holds the prom
'se of the Senator. il is said. that he
shall wear the McComas toga.
Smith is far from popular in Balti-
more. and his friends admit that il Ray
ner can go 10 the Legislature with the
twenty -eight votes in the city delegation
he can very nearly control the caucus
and stand an excellent show of cleo
ticn.
No man is more popular in Maryland
than Mr.. Rayner. He served three terms
in the lower house OF Congress.
