RURAL SUSPENSION BRIDGE
Unique Affair for Pedestrians at Fen
tonville N Y Built by Popu
lar Subscription
Fentonville N Y The suspension
foot bridge pictured here runs east
and west across the Conenango river
at Fentonville It was built about two
years ago by popular subscription
among the cottagers and residents of
Fentonville Since the Warren and
Wjpmk plijT
Bridge at Fentonville
Jamestown trolley passed through the
village it is quite well known as an
excellent place on the banks of the
river for picnic and outing parties In
the distance from the bridge may be
seen part of the buildings on what
was the 1000 acre farm owned by the
late W H H Fenton a brother of
Gov Reuben C Feoton
The river at this point is about 150
feet in width and 50 years ago all
traffic between Dunkirk N Y and
points south crossed the river about
where the foot bridge now is it being
a state road with a road bridge But
through some misunderstanding be
tween the two townships the town of
Carroll being on the east side of the
river and the town of Kiantone on the
other the road bridge was abandoned
and traffic was forced to take what Is
known as the Jamestown and Warren
highway on the east side of the river
The state road is still open on either
side of the river and residents have
repeatedly petitioned for a road
bridge to be built But as eight feet
of the west approach would be in the
state of Pennsylvania the question
arose whether only one state ought to
build it About six feet souht of this
point near the wire fence in the pic
ture is a mile stone on the state line
between the states of New York and
Pennsylvania

that 130 a day were killed A monu

AN HISTORIC INN OF LONDON
House Which Witnessed Many Tragio
Scenes In the Stormy History of
Britains Metropolis
London The oldest Inn in London
is to be torn down to make room for
public improvements It is known as
Ye Olde Whyte Harte and has been
so called since the days of Richard
II who often stopped at the inn while
hunting in the neighborhood and
whose badge was a white heart The
tavern was established in 1272 at the
northern end of Drury Lane and only
another building a blacksmiths forge
was in the near vicinity The inn
was far beyond the limits of London
as then constituted and bordering on
it was a wilderness which was noted
for its game Hunting parties from
the city made it their headquarters
and both forge and barroom were lib
erally patronized
The White Hart inn profited by the
fact that it was on the route over
which criminals were taken from
Newgate to Tyburn to be executed
Immense throngs sometimes followed
the condemned person and fancy
prices were paid to mine host of the
White Hart Inn for the privilege of
viewing from Its windows the dead
march Executions were more nu
merous in England then than now
infinitely more so During the 38 years
of the reign of Henry VIII the aver
age number of executions in the coun
try was 2000 a year When Jack Shep
pard the notorious highwayman was
conveyed from Newgate to Tyburn to
be executed 200000 persons followed
the desperado to see him dispatched
Almost as great crowds attended other
executions and wooden galleries were
greeted at Tyburn for the accommoda
tion of the spectators There Jona
than Wild the thief trainer was exe
cuted in 1725 after having been drawn
to Tyburn on a curdle followed by a
yelling hooting crowd of many thou
sands But his name endures in Lon
don having been given to a little alley
off Drury Lane where long ago he
conducted his school for training
highwaymen housebreakers and pick
pockets In 1783 Tyburn ceased to be
a place of execution
The White Hart inn was occupied
for a brief time by Jack Cade who
White Hart Inn
headed the KenLrebellion in 1450 and
whose head a little later minus the
body iwas affixed to London tower
How many buildings have occupied
the site of the present Inn it is im
possible to say In 1669 the Inn in
which Jack Cade made his quarters
was partially destroyed In 1676 it
was burned to the ground The build
ing that succeeded it was constructed
after the fashion of the earlier ones
with wide open courts
WORLDS HIGHEST CHIMNEY
it
Is 506 Feet in Height and Con
tains 16000 Tons of
Brick
Great Falls Mont The highest
chimney in the world Is that of the
Boston and Montana smelter here It
Is 506 feet high and 16000 tens of
brick were used in its construction It
weighs 34000000 pounds and is built
to withstand a wind of 120 miles an
hour One of those who love to jug
gle with figures has estimated that
267000000 eggs could be placed with
in the chimney at one time but as a
hen producing an egg with regularity
every morning for 730000 years would
The Highest Chimney
be required to supply the eggs the
chimney Is not likely to be utilized in
this manner The Washington mon
ument which is 50 fee square at the
bottom and 20 feet square at the top
could be set inside this chimney with
out touching any wall and there
would still be room between the walls
of the chimney and the monument to
drive a span of horses from top to
bottom If railroadtracks of standard
gauge were laid vertically on the in
side of the stack about 14 feet cen
ters there would be room for 14
trains each 600 feet loos
FARMERS PLANNING
FOR LAND EXHIBIT
Interested Agriculturists Coming
to the Land Show
When the last word has been said
concerning the magnitude and mag
nificence of the Omaha Land Show to
be held Oct 16 to 28 and after all
arrangements have been made to
swing wide the portals on the great
land products exhibit there still re
mains the question What about the
attendance There is this to be said
about it there will be more interested
guests more persons who are actually
interested in the great scheme of de
velopment of the resources of the
west more persons who actually ap
preciate the mammoth displays from
every quarter of the great inland em
pire beyond the Missouri river attend
ing this show than at any similar ex
position ever held in the United
States
At the first land show held last
January there was a large attendance
but it will be doubled in October not
only because the show is now an es
tablished institution but for the addi
tional reason that many new and at
tractive features have been provided
by the management The amusement
features will all be fine ones
From Many States
Speaking of the attendance General
Manager W O Paisley of the land show
management says Omaha is located
right In Iowa Missouri Kansas Min
nesota Nebraska and other states the
ambitious farmer has learned that
Omaha is the center of information
They look upon this city as the key
city to the vast west They feel that
those who go through this gateway
are going into the west and that
those who move there are closer to
them than if in Canada or in the Gulr
coast country and that they do not
lose their home attachments
The success of the Janunry show
indicates that the attendance in Oc
tober wiU b large from all of these
Mates Additional visitors will be at
tracted by the fact that this year we
have added the Machinery hall in
which all tho agricultural implements
needed in the cultivation of the tol
in the wost will be on exhibition anl
further there will be a practical dem
nnstration of every mechanical device
hown
The attendance will be materially
increased this year by the thousand
of homespekers who pass through
Omaha to and from the South Dakota
land openings At least sixty thou
sand of these persons will pass
through this city and a large percent
age of them will take advantage of the
land show
SHOW WILL
have big program
Entertainments Will Be Given in Con
ncction With Exhibit at Omaha
The program at the Second Omaha
Land Show will be a big one and one
which has been planned to suit every
visitor A show of this character is
often one where the educational feat
ures and the exhibits occupy the
buildings in such a way that amuse
ment features cannot be given to ad
vantage but this is not true at the
Omaha Coliseum where the big dis
play of the products of the west will
be shown from Oct 16th to 28th In
addition to the main exposition build
ing which has over fifty thousand
square feet of floor space there
wiil he a machinery hall annex
and four annexes for program and en
tertainment leatures The machinery
exhibits will all be live ones Ei
engines pulling mammoth gang plorj
will stand side by side with silos and
Ilectric light plants and pumping
plants All will be in motion an J
there will Ij things in this pavilion to
attract all visiters A field has been
