FELL NEARLY HALF A MILE.
Michigan Aeronaut Instantly Killed by
Falling from q Trapeze Bar.

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 31.-"Jack'
Hogan, brother of Aeronaut Ed Hogan,
of Jackson, Mich, who lost his life
two years ago in experimenting with
an airship on Long Island, fell $500
feet from balloon Saturday afternoon
at the Detroit exposition grounds and
was instantly killed
Hogan started the ascent just after
o'clock in the presence of 10000 people,
intending to descend by means of the
parachute attached to the balloon. In
leaving the ground, however, he
chung from the trapeze bar instead
of seating himself on it, and when
he had gone up 500 or 400 feet
he tried in vain to raise himself to a
sitting position and to draw the bar
attached to the parachute to him. The
great throng below him breathlessly
watched the mans endeavors to raise
himself and shuddered as he rose
higher and higher and was still I'M
able to get the parachute bar within
reach. Finally, at a height of $500
feet, Hogan became exhausted and re-
leased his hold from the bar Down
ward he shot with frightful velocity,
while cries. of horror arose from the
great throng beneath. Women tainted
by the score, and the faces of strong
men blanched Half way to the
earth Hogan's limbs began to work
convulsivcly. and his body, descending
faster every minute, turned several
somersaults He struck a sidewalk
quarter from where he went up,
and two two-inch planks and the
sleepers beneath them were broken
and splintered. Blood spurted
SO feet from the corpse, every
bone in his body was broken,
and his head was mashed beyond
recognition. Physicians who examined
the body say that the man was un-
doubtedly dead before he struck the
earth. His wife witnessed the fall and
tainted dead away. Hogan also leaves
a young child. He was new at the
business

In His Accounts.

A Louisville Cashier Leaves for Canada
on the Discovery of 8 Heavy Shortage
In His Accounts.
LOUISVILLE, Ky, Aug. 29-Maj.
William Tillman, late cashier Of the bro
ken City Falls bank, sinking fund com
missioner and one of the most promi-
nent men in the city socially, has fled
TO Canada, and nearly 500, 600 of the
banks money is missing, When the
Falls City bank failed, nearly two
months ago. il was announced that the
assignment was merely to wind up the
banks affairs and that all obligations
would be paid in full. The assignee
began his Investigations and the
deeper he went the more mystified he
became. Loans had been made on al
most no security. The Enterprise To-
bacco Warehouse Company had Sc
cured something over S1O0, coo with
no property to show for it
Early last week Maj. Tillman resigned
from the sinking fund board and
went home sick. Friday the assignee
of the bank found discrepancies that
showed criIninality. Maj. Tillman was
told of this. He packed his grip at
once and told his family he was
going away for a few days. De-
velopments indicate that he has
gone for good. 1t was discovered
that the Louisville Electric Com
pany, which has been soil to the gas
company for two years, had overdrawn
its account about $1,000. and that other
firms that had gone out of business
were overdrawn. No settlements
seemed to have been made at all, and
the total amount so carried on the books
was over $4,000. Maj. Iillman's
account is said to have been overdrawn
almost $4,000 and some of his over
drafts ran back for many years. As
far as discovered there is a shortage on
the banks books of S37, 000 made up
by overdrafts on accounts that really
had no existence. In addition to these
discrepancies in the bank it is said that
Tillman has made way with a trust
fund left in his care. Mrs. r. Il. Alex
ander and Miss Lettie Alexander, wife
and daughter of r. b. Alexander, for
merly cashier of the Fall City bank,
and Tillman's predecessor, had fortune
of $4,000 which was in the keeping of
Mai Tillman. 1t now transpires that
he has made away with SIS, 900 of this
trust fund and diverted it to his own
use.
1t is not known defnitelv how much
the shortage will be, but it is estimated
at from S75, 600 to 500, 600.

Various Kinds of Them.
Bulletin twenty-eight of the Wis
consin experiment station is devoted to
silos their location, construction and
arrangement; methods of preserving
silage from decay, filling, etc. Obser-
walton of various materials used and
methods employed in building, pre-
serving, filing and covering, through
out the state go to show: /. That a
round sil las longest and preserves
the eusIlage best, as it has the least
possible surface, fewest cracks and
corners, costs least and is strongest be-
cause the siding. lining, etc, acting as
hoops give additional strength; so
light material may be used. >. That
the deeper the silo and the smoother
the sides the better, as the increased
weight of ensilage secures firmer pack
ing, and excludes the air better than in
a shallow one. Also there is less sur
face exposed at the top
3. The ensilage should be fed from
the top, as this exposes less to the air
than when taken from the side.
4. That for the same reason large
silos should be divided into compart-
ments and one compartment fed out at
a time.
5. That unless feeding is begun soon
after the silo is filled, a close cover
should be provided. Such protection
may consist of coarse hay, chat, straw,
earth, boards, etc, the necessary con-
dition being that the air be excluded.
6. That the bottom of the silo should
be so constructed as to exclude rats, by
a layer of small stones or grout laid be-
fore the cement is applied.
In constructing silo only sound and
well-seasoned timber should be used.
Unsound or sappy wood will rot out in
a short time. If any difference exists,
the best lumber should be reserved for
the inside lining and should be placed
at the bottom. Perfect ventilation on
both sides of the lining, beams, stills,
etc, should be provided to prevent
rotting. The best Innings consist of
two layers of narrow boards'with tarred
paper between them. 1t is not essen
tial that the Innings should be matched
but the boards should be of uniform
width. The Innings may be made more
effective by painting the sides next the
paper with hot coal tar. The stills
should likewise be tarred and should
rest on good stone wall.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Aug. 31.-By the

be $50, mostly japanese and Chinese
sailors. The meteorological report
says the typhoon was the most violent
that has visited oriental seas for years.

THE SUMMER GIRL.

She's coming with the flowers that will bloom
for us once more,
She's coming with the breezes that will blow
along the shore.
The sun will kiss her ringlets and will tinge her
cheeks with brown,
While he who loves her madly grapples fate
and tolls in town,
And Cupid, with the arrows that he's given her
to twirl,
VIII guard anew the footsteps of the sprightly
summer girl.
When the robin redbreast hops around while
yet tits early dawn,
And tennis players dot the green OF grassy
field and lawn,
Wen see her dressed in percale, with a walk
ing-stick in hand,
And in her brothers necktie will she stroll
along the sand.
And where the crowd is sthickest in the summer
hotel whrl
VIII bloom once more the beauty of the charm
ing summer girl.
With glossy collar shining in the light of sum-
mer days.
With vest and sash and blazer we will learn
anew her ways,
thin disguise
OF masculine attire that hides the maiden
heart we prize,
And when once more we claim her as the sum-
mer's priceless pearl,
Wen hail the smiling features of the jolly
summer girl.
