Deaths from X-Rays.

The death of pr. Weigel, a surgeon of Rochester, from a disease due to the constant use of the X-rays makes the fourth who has lost his life from this cause, says the Christian Adyo cate.
 The others were an assistant of Thomas Edison, a Boston physician and a woman of San Francisco named F1eischman. In the case of Dr. Wei. gel since 1904, when his right hand and all but the thumb and finger of the left hand were removed, thers had been four operations in trying to save his life. The first removed part of the right shoulder; then | part of the muscles covering the right breast.
 Mystery completely envelops the cause of death, the disease being un. known to medical science, though t is believed to involve some great prin ciple of life. Dr Weigel was resi. dent of the Rochester Academy of Medicine and the American Orthe paedic society.

Frisco Buys Bridge.

The Fort Smith and Van Buren Bridge Company has conveyed to the St Louis and San Francisco Railway Company the bridge across the Arkan- sas river between Fort Smith and Van Buren The consideration named in the deed is $500000. This bridge was built in 1886 and as it's officers were closely identified with the directorate of the Frisco system, it was simply a within a corporation. The Iron Mountain has paid a minimum rental of $l00o per month to run their passenger trains over the bridge between Fort Smith and Van Buren ever since the completion of the struc- ture. and it is believed here that before their lease expires in 1911 they will have a bridge of their own at this point and over which the Cur don branch will connect with the cen traf division Of the system.

Will Be Exposed to Weather.

In the construction of the new State capitol. 10 Der cent of all bills paid the contractors has been withheld to insure the proper construction or the building according to the architectuT- al provisions. About s650,000 has so far been allowed the contractors. and the amount held back, exclusive of the work done since the last meet ing of the commissioners, and which has not been audited, will closely approximate s100,000. If the contrae- tors should undertake to enclose the building. the chief expense would be the installation of the windows, doors and skvlights. All this work would of necessity, be required to be done in a substantial manner, SO that t would not have to be done over again. and 1t is estimated that fully SI5.oe0 would be expended in this work alone. With the other contracts, which they are working on, and future VtE which they may secure. it is not believed that Caldwell (. Drake would undertake to hamper themselves tnan- cially by tieing up nearly S2o0eee of their resources for a term Cf pos sibly two years. This would mean that unless a special session of the legislature was called. the building must remain open and exposed t0 the weather for nearly two years.
