FERRIS WHEEL AGAIN.
1t Is to Be Set Up at the st. Louis
Worlds Fair.

Chicago, Oct. THE Inter-Ocean to-
da-r saws:
That the famous Ferris wheel has
been rescued from the junk pile and
will be taken to the st. Louis exoosi-
ton is now believed to be an assured
fact. Men are at work on the North
side dismantling the wheel for a local
house Wrecking company.
1t is said that the company will be
allowed to retain the first 100000 of
the receipts at the fair grounds.
The cost of removal and setting UP
the wheel is estimated approximately
at 100000. After the amount named in
the concession has been received. it is
said one-third of the profits will go to
the owners of the wheel and the re-
naming two-thirds to the treasury of
the exposition.
The value of the wheel as junk is
estimated at $4,000 but because of the
expense attending its removal the pres
ent owners are said to have obtained
the wheel for IS. 100.
The history of the wheel abounds
with legal complications Time and
again there have been reports of sale
and of projects for its removal After
the worlds fair the wheel was taken
to its present situation on the North
side. The patronage there was too
small to make the running of the wheel

WIRES WERE DAMAGED.
Santa Fe Telegraph Service Suffered
from High Wind.

The weather reports which were re-
ceived at the Santa Fe general offices
this morning state that last nights
heavy rainfall was a local affair. The
heaviest storm was confined TO the
eastern division, between Kansas City
and Emooria, but light rains are re-
ported on several other divisions.
The Santa Fe reports hail storms on
the lines between Florence and McPner-
son and Strong City and Lost Springs.
Another report states that wind
storms were prevalent last night on that
part of the road lying east of Kansas
City. Most of these occurred in the vi
cinity of Chillicothe. good many
poles were blown down and today the
telegraph wires east of Kansas City are
not working satisfactorily. Aside from
the damage to the telegraph wires no
damage was done by either the rain,
hail or wind No washouts have been
reported so far.
The Rock Island reports heavy rains
to have fallen last night in the Vicinity
of Caldwell. The reports indicate that
at all other points except those between
here and Kansas City. the rains were
slight. Like the Santa Fe, the Rock
