The Wonderful Bridge That Spans .
Canyon In Utah.
Writing about the colossal bridges of
Utah, w. W. Dyar says in the Century:
Across q canyon measuring 1886 feet Z
inches from wall to wall nature has
thrown a splendid arch Of solid sand
stone sixty feet thick in the central
part and forty feet wide, leaving I'M
derneath it a clear opening 357 feet In
perpendicular height. The lateral walls
Of the arch rise perpendicularly nearly
to the top Of the bridge, when they
fare suddenly outward, giving the ef-
feet Of an immense coping or cornice
overhanging the main structure fifteen
Of twenty feet on each side and ex-
tending with the greatest regularity
and symmetry the whole length Of the
bridge. The majestic proportions Of
this bridge may be partly realized by a
few comparisons. Thus its height 10
more than twice and its span mor
than three times as great as those of
the famous natural bridge Of Virginia.
Its buttresses are 118 feet farther
apart than those Of the celebrated ma
sonry arch In the District Of Columbia
known as Cabin John bridge, a few
miles from Washington city, which
has the greatest span of any masonry
bridge ON this continent. This bridge
would overspan the capitol at Wash
ington and clear the top Of the dome
By ffty-one feet. And II the Hottest
]roo IN tho Ca1avoraa grove Of giant
seuuoias In California stood in the bot
tom Of the canyon it's topmost bough
would lack thirty-two feet Of reaching
the underside Of the arch.
This bridge is Of white or very light
sandstone, and, as in the case Of the
Caroline, flaments Of green and orange
tinted lichens run here and there over
the mighty b%uttresses and along the
sheltered ~crevices under the lofty cor
nice, giving warmth and color to the
Wonderful picture.

The value of Formaldehyde as a
preventative of smut in wheat and

demonstrated, that it would be an
unwise thing for any farmer to
plant his grain without first giving
it a treatment with the above sub.

McGregor's Body Is Found.

The body of Duncan McGregor, the
missing Peshtigo lumberman, was found
in a log jam in the river by Adolph
Gouley, a laborer, who gets the $1,000
reward offered. McGregor disappeared
last Fourth of July. Since that time
not trace of him was secured until
this time. The only theory ever given
was that told Mrs. McGregor by a Mil
waukee clairvoyant, who said that he
had been murdered for valuable papers
on his person and his body thrown in the
river. He leaves an estate of over
100000. The body was so badly decom-
posed that nothing can be told as to the
primary cause of his death. The body
went over the paper mill dam.

HAPPENINGS.
Indian Girl Fatally Beaten on Reser-
vation-Mother Carries Dead Babe in
Arms from Pittsburg to Kenosha-
Corpse of McGregor Found in River.

Unconscious, bereft of clothing and
badly beaten, Miss Katy John, an Oneida
Indian girl, was found on the reserya
ton. Elias Cornelius, another Indian,
was arrested and brought to Appleton.
He will be held pending the condition
OF the injured woman, for whose recov-
cry the physicians hold out no encour-
agement The authorities are also look
ing for Wilson Skyler and Gerritt John
son, two more Indians said to have been
implicated in the case. Both are said to
have been students at Carlyle two years
ago. Cornelius recently returned from
the government educational home at
Philadelphia. The Indians attended a
dance on the reserva ton the other night,
according to the story told by the man
in the Appleton Jail, and all were more
or less intoxicated. A number of fights
occurred and he declares that the John
woman left the dance hall shortly after
midnight and was in company of Thomas
Danford. In case the woman dies Cor
nelius will be charged with murder and
the other two men will when located be
accused as accessories.
Mother Refuses to Leave Dead Baby.
One of the most remarkable exhibit
lions of a woman's live for her children
was found out in Kenosha when the
county coroner was called to hold an in
quest over the remains of the 4-months-
old child of Mr.. and Mrs. Adolph Bauer.
The child died at Pittsburg ON a train,
and rather than allow it to be buried in
some eastern cemetery the mother had
carried it all the rest of the long journey
to Kenosha. The members of the Bauer
family were bound from New York to
Kenosha, and they had just money
enough to pay the travelling expenses.
just after the train pulled out of Pitts
burg the child was seized with convul-
sions and died in it's mothers arms.

throughout the city. The revolutionists,
and active agitators generally, de-
clared loudly that the governments
promises would no longer suffice, and
that the strike must be continued.
In fact, an hour after the news be-
came known the revolutionists took oc-
casion to throw the first bomb in ST.
