Boze- man last Saturday evening, was well known in Whitehall! having lived here for several years, being employed in running an engine between here and Butte.

Southern writer tells this story of a negro preacher’s version of the parable of the Good Samaritan: There was a traveler on a lonely road, said the preacher, who was set upon by thieves, robbed, and left wounded and helpless by the wayside. As he lay there various persons passed him, but none offered to assist him.—Pres- ently, however, a poor Samariten came by, and-taking pity on thé’ wounded man’s plight, helped him on his mule and took him to an inn, where he ordered food and drink and raiment for the man, directing the innkeeper to-send.thé@ bill to him. “And dis am a true-story, breth’ren,” concluded the preacher; “for de inn am standing’ dere yet, and in de do’- way am standing’ de skel-ton ob de innkeeper,waitin’ for de Good Samar- itan to come back an’ pay de bill.” — Harper's Weekly. At last accounts the Brooklyn man engaged io rounding up the John C. Fremont old guard of 1856 has gsuc- ceeded in getting three responses. He wants them for campaign purposes. If there are more of them alive it isn’t to be wondered at that they are re- luctant to make the fact known. + Modern Flora Cigar, End of Bitter Fight, “Two physicians had a long and stubborn fight with an abcess on my right lung” writes J.

Paris again held a great in 1900 but failed to 1904, planved and produc greatest Exposition the world has g ever seen. Scores of attempts to invent something more — and mére attractive than the Ferris Wheel, but as Paris failed to outdo ber own Eiffel Tower, so did St, Louis fail to equal ths far-famea Farris Wheel of the World’s Columbian £x- position of 1893. Arrangements were accordingly made to bring the Ferris Wheel to the Louisiana Purcl-ase Ex- position, and it was.given a location near the geographical center pt the grounds. The problem of moving the Ferris Wheel from Chicago to St. Louis was stupendous—4,200 tons of material, including the 70-ton axle, besides en- gines, boilers and derricks and false work, hed to be transported, One hundred and seventy-five freight cars were required to move this material. A brief resume of the dimensions and description of the Ferris Wheel may be interesting. The Wheel is built upon the bicycle principle; with immence tension spokes, 215/16 in. diam. The wheel. is 250 ft, in diam- eter'and stands 264 ft. high. In reality.it.is tweswheels. together. ‘Between the outer rims of these wheels the eleven-ton- cars are suspended on 64 in. pins, 6 ft. long. These cars are 13 ft. wide, 26 ft. long 9 ft. high and will carry 60 persons each. There are'36 of them, so the total capacity of the. wheel is 2,160 persons. At several times in its his- tory the wheel has been filled to its capacity.- The'axel of the wheel is a solid steel. forging, 32 in. in — and 46 ft. long. The solid bronze bearings fapon which it rests are each 6 ft.Jong and contain nearly two tons of! metal. The weight of the Wheel is carried upon two four-post towers, 6 ft, square on top and 40x50 ft. at the base. These in turn rest upon solid concrete and steele beam pillars, which are carried down to. solid rock, 26 ft. below the surface of the ground. tem of this mess of concrete by 2x6 in. eye-bars, so that the Wheel 1s-per- feotly ars ev in the most violent storms, eum . a The side vibration of the Wheel in ap 80 mile an hour wind is less thao }inch. ‘The Wheel is‘tun by a double reversing engine with cylinders 30x48 in., capable of developing 2,000 horse power. The power isapplied through a seriee of cogs to a sprocket chain which engages wide cogs on the out- side of each rim. passenger, and the time required is from 20 to 30 minutes. The ‘view during this half-hour ride is most interesting and instructive. | Grad- ually, as the majestic and mighty wheel roils one up higher and higher, a grand panorama unfolds itself to view. “A fifty million-dollar Exposi- tion in all its grandeur is before you. The location of the wheel in the cen- ter of the Fair Grounds gives one an opportunity to thoroughly familiar- ize.themselves with the lay of the grounds and get a better general idea of the Fair than they could by days of tramping. all-the big buildings, the Pike, Fes- tival Hall, the Art Building, Foreign Buildings; Philippine . _ Reservation, Ahe Air Ship Boclosure, ju fact, every point of interest in the grounds can be seen from the big,\ Wheel. In ad-}} dition, one gets a view of St. Louis the Mississippi River, and the bea ful forests, hills and dales for the illumination of the buildings and grounds is simply magnificent.
