Minneapolis Man Says Sorcerer
Has Wrecked His Home


D. H. Miller reported to the police
yesterday that his wife, Mrs. Hilda
Miller, of 425 Seventh avenue south,
had wandered away from home. He
had traced her to Duluth, where she
had registered as Mrs. Hanson, of
Nowhere and from the head of the
lakes she started on a zigzag trip
across the state.
Mr.. Miller attributes his troubles to
a fortune teller and asserts that the
mind Of his wife has been unbalanced
by the stories of the soothsayer, who
told her that she had lost the love of
her husband.
This threw her into state of melan-
cholia and she left home on Sept. 15,
drawing 5000 of her savings from the
bank and it is believed that the greater
portion was paid to certain Nicollet
avenue sorcerer She still has a large
bank account, but her husband fears
she will soon run out of money and
may take her life.

ToNro RESERVOIR SITE.

transportation OF the immense amount
of cement and other materials over the
mountain roads was serious and ex-
pensive proposition. The temptation
was strong for the building Of a dam
of the rock-till type, instead of a ma
sorry dam, as it would be much cheaper
and much easier OF construction. 1t was
estimated that 1t would take 100, 900 bar
rels OF cement for the masonry dam, and
the haul of 40 miles would make 1t cost
nine dollars barrel. This made it's use
practically prohibitiye. But the en-
gineers were 10th to give up the plan of a
masonry dam, and began investigations
to see If there were not materials at hand
for the making of cement. There eff
forts proved successful and a cement
plant with a capacity of 800 barrels day
has been established near the dam site
The cost OF the plant was $4,000. Water
power Is to be obtained by diverting
water from the Salt river above the res
ervoir site through canal above the
proposed lake and dropping it through
penstock just below the dam. Work
on the canal is being pushed, and with
the power thus obtained the plant will
be run. Charcoal will be used for burn
ing the cement briuuettes. and the cost
of producing the cement will be about
two dollars per barrel.

voir was determined by plane-tabl sur

In the midst OF the business of his
court, Judge r. s. Grosscup, United
States circuit court of appeals, Chica-
go, famed almost as widely for his pro-
pressive ideas as for his just and dig
nified rulings, paused long enough to
hand down an opinion which will be
OF great interest to all who are taking
note OF the progress being made in the
acceleration of pace. In touching upon
the subject Judge Grosscup pays high
tribute to the bicycle in these words:
THE bicycle is the first effort OF the
human race to fly. It keeps us as yet
close to the grounu, but higher flight
will come in time. The one who rides
the bicycle is out OF his nest only n lit
tie earlier than the one who does not. .
T.as is a decision as wise and as sug-
gestive as the more pretentious edicts
of the bench he so nobly honors, and it
is as well worth his while. One does
fly when on his wheel, and it is flight
swift enough for all practical purposes,

Whatever the outcome of the Smoot
hearing in Washington, it is likely to
have potent political effect in Utah.
There, thinks the New York World, it
will apparently result in n new party
alignment or in the resumption of one
long discarded. The direct struggle In
Utah between Mormons and non-Mor-
mons was in 1889. The non Mormons
Were classed as liberals, although the
opposition knew them as Gentiles. In
the effort to defeat the church demo-
Gratis and republicans united, their
usual differences being waived. The
election was a partial triumph for the
Gentiles, for they had, and IL they
were again united they still would
have, majority in Salt Lake City and
Ogden. The one triumph was mis-
leading, however, as it made the tenn
porarily fused elements believe that
maintenance of an ant-Mormon party
was no longer necessary. From that
time Utahs political veal has been
wholly governed by the church, which
is neither democratic or republican, but
goes IN mass to the side favored by
the twelve apostles"
