FARMER wooDwARD,s AIRst4Ip.
He Will Attempt to Sail Across the
Country in TIlree DAYS

Country in Three Days.
Robert ]. Woodward, farmer of
| Ventura county, IS preparing to sail
from San Diego to New York in a bal
! LOOM He had expected to get away be-
| fore this, but had trouble with the gas
company about the gas to fill his air
| ship, and he may be detained several
days.
Mr.. Woodward is an enthusiast on the
subject of aerial navigation, and for ten
years has given the question the most
exhaustive study. In the theory of the
navigation of the atmosphere he is per-
| haps as we'll posted as any man living.
but i'll practice he is novice. never hav-
ing made an ascension.
On account of the mountains being
lower here than in the north, and also
! of there being nearly always westerly
breeze in this part Of the country, Mr..
Woodward decided to honor San Diego
with his presence, and make it his point
of departure, with what degree of sue
cess, however, remains to be seen.
He arrived in this city about two
weeks ago, and while awaiting the ar
rival of his balloon has busted himself
studying the air currents and preparing
a peculiar apparatus, which he proposes
10 attach to his inflated globe.
He proposes by adding two huge white
wings to the balloon to sail whittier he
will, ascending and descending at pleas
ure The wings are about by 6 feet,
and are spread upon bamboo pole
about twelve feet long, having two
branches from the main pole, one on
either side, and four crosspieces. The
wings were of strong though light weight
canvas, sewed to each piece of the frame.
By working the wings as one would a
pair of oars in rowing, the inventor
claims to be able to control his move
ments. At any rate, he has such conf
dence in his ability to do so that he has
not only spent much money on the in
ventiOn, but proposes to risk his life
on it.
The balloon is 36 by 26 feet, is capa-
bic of lifting 400 pounds and cost $500.
1t requires il 900 feet of gas and about
fifteen hours is the time necessary to in
fate it. Mr.. Woodward caused to be
erected a canvas screen about forty feet
in height on vacant lot, where he made
an attempt to fill it. Being afraid of
WoIC1 1liCO l14O Oft11OOi1 tSIlCl iCb-
ting in 200 feet, he decided not to take
any risk, but obtain the gas from the
gas works. Accordingly the valve was
opened and the gas released.
Although having no idea of the height
he will have to reach, Mr.. Woodward
expects to obtain an altitude of 10000
feet easily.
If successful in striking the current
he expects to, he says it is not impossi-
BILE to reach the Atlantic coast in thirty
six hours. He, however, does not ex-
pect to travel SO quickly, and will take
sufficient provisions for a three days
trip, which, he said, IN case of necessi-
~, would last him six days.-San Fran
cisco Examiner.

Cold Water Killed Him.

In small house of the Rue Ste Mar
guerite, Paris, there has lived for a long
time past a crippled old beggar known
in the quarter as 1.-The Terrible Savoy
ard" One morning recently he left his
lodgings as usual to offer pencils to the
charitably inclined, and when he ar
rived at the wineshop of the Rue Bas-
troy, where he was known, he began to
tease the housemaid, Clemence Provost.
The girl, not relishing his attentions, re-
torted, eff you had watered your wine
this morning you would be less trouble
some" and threw glass OF water in his
face. The old man sprang forward with
an insult on his lips, but Suddenly stag
gered back and fell down dead. The
doctor Summoned in haste to the spot
declared the cause Of death to have been

Major Who Would Train Sea GulIs.
Major Allatt, who is himself q prac-
teal pigeon flyer, states that the Italians
employ pigeons very considerably in the
Mediterranean in connection with their
ships Of war. The French also use them
regularly and Systematically in the
Mediterranean during their naval ma
neuvers. This officer, however, is Of the
opinion that if we are going to use birds
to fly over water for naval purposes,
ducks would be better than pigeons, be-
cause when duck gets tired he drops
and sits on the water until he is rested
and then goes on again. Ducks, more
over, can fly by night, while pigeons
cannot. Major Allott thinks that sea
gulls might be trained also for message
bearing purposes.-London News.

Very calmly and quietly men reply,
when we speak OF prohibitory law,
sIt cannot be enforced" What does
that mean? Anarchy. If a majority
of voters say that liquor shall be out
IIawed, and we can not outlaw it, the
meaning is that there is a power
greater than the peoples will-that
there is a monopolist greater than
Vanderbilt or Gould - one that muz-
zles the press and boycott the home.
1t means that the greatest capitalist
in this country is the liquor capitalist,
and that we are willing to stand by
and let it have control. Shall we then
rivet the chains by the apathetic citi-
zens' confession, so strong already
that they can not be cast off; shall we
'rivet these chains still more tightly
by high license decree, which brings
more money than before into the cof-
fers of our masters? Woe unto them
that call evil good and good evil, who
put darkness for light and light for
darkness.

The Twilight Club of New York
City has recently discussed Sunday
and the Saloon" We quote some of
the points: 'The saloon is not an
American institution; ninety per cent
of the saloon keepers are foreigners;
there is a growing prejudice to en-
ploying sober men even to attend the
bars. 1t is absurd that man can not
draw up legal contract on Sundays
while the saloon keeper is permitted
to open and pursue his business. The
saloon is born of the devil, and is
menace to society. The alleged right
to sell liquor and create drunkards
who commit crimes is preposterous.
The saloon is called the poor mans
parlor, but the fact is, that except
for the demoralizing influence of the
saloon the poor man might have a
parlor of his own" We are very sor-
ry to say that a majority of the speak
ers seemed, in spite of all points made
against it, to favor continental rath
er than an American Sabbath. One
of the worst results of foreign travel
is the Misunderstanding of our people.

What do you know about the In
dams now? [ do not mean what they
did when the first settlers were steal
ing their lands and they were murder
ing white men, in return, but what
they are doing and what we are doing
in 1892. Here is one part of the story.
The Utes, numbering about $50, live
in Colorado. In 1880 our government
promised them lands, horses, tools,
schools and money. These promises
have been broken, like so many 9TH
ers that have been made to our red
skinned brothers. And now because
white men want the land where these
Indians are living, there is talk of tax
ing them away from their homes, and
moving them into the mountains of
Utah, where the only way they could
live would be by their old savage hab
its of hunting. 1t is a shame! You
boys and girls cannot yet vote, but
you can talk, and I hope you will.
Will you ask older people to be fair
and honest to the Indians? And you
can pray. VIII you pray that our
government may treat the Indians
Justly?

A DELIGHTFUL RECEPTION.

The following from the Fergus
Falls Journal will be read with pleas
ure by Mankato people who hold DR..
and Mrs. Pollock in high esteem.
Monday, the 18th, was the 18th an
niversary of the wedding of DR.. and
Mrs. Geo. G. Pollock, who were mar
ried at Lyons Farms, n. j., in 1867,
and the ladies of the parish, in honor
of the occasion, rendered them re-
age on Whitford street. Rev. and
Mrs. Pollock received the cOngratula-
tiOnS of constant stream OF guests
for an hour or more during the early
part of the evening and later refresh
ments were served, and there was
music and a great deal of informal
gaiety and conversation. The bride
and bridegroom of quarter century
ago were assured on every side that
they looked and evidently felt as
young as the youngest guests, and
that their married life, in spite of %
years of happiness just behind them,
was now only in it's first quarter.
Whether strictly true or not, that
was the hearty wish of all. One in
volun tarily recalled some of Holmes
rollicking and tender lines as he look
ed at the smiling faces of the host
and hostess:
Hang the almanac's cheat and the catalogues
spite;
Old time is liar; we're twenty tonight.
We're twenty We're twenty! Who says we
are more?
He's tipsyl Young Jackanapes! Show him the
Gray temples at twenty? Yes, white if you
please.
Where the snowfakes fall thickest there moth
ing can freeze.

But the angels laugh too at the good he has
done.

est of all.
A pleasant incident of the evening
was the presentation to Mrs. Pollock
of a handsome purse of silver dollars
in appropriate reference to the sill
very nature of the anniversary 1t
was after IL when the guests de-
parted, leaving behind them all sorts
of good wishes. The Journal may be
permitted to join in these, and to
hope that DR.. and Mrs. Pollock may
be spared to celebrate their golden
wedding among their friends in Fer
gus Falls with as little to alloy the
pleasure of the occasion as there was
at their silver anniversary.

A JUST VERDICT.

The trial of w. d. Christman, sta
tion agent at Minneopa Falls. occu-
pied Tuesday forenoon the municipal
court. He was charged with assault
and battery upon Mrs. Margaret Har-
ris, who lives just across the railroad
track. County Attorney Hughes ap-
peared for the state and Messrs. Cray
& Young for the defendant. The fol-
lowing jury was drawn: O.. L. Barnes,
Henry E. Holman, z. Chapman,
Philip Hodapp, f. G. Panenburg,
August Malchow, Frank Kreuzer,
j. B. Richards, Henry Schwarble and
S. G. Pond.
Mrs. Harris and her daughter, Jane,
were the only witnesses for the prose
cution. They testified that when
the girl went to water the horses in
Minneopa creek, Christman threw a
stone at the horses. Mrs. Harris
went to the depot to see about it,
when Christman irritated her and
finally struck her in the face and
knocked her down, and then pushed
her from the platform.
The defense told an entirely differ
ent story. Mr.. Christman and family
have for months had trouble with the
Harris family, who have been very an
noying. Last Thursday the girl
watered the horses and then started
to stake out the horses in the park,
which Mr.. Christman has leased for a
year and is preserving for the use of
visitors and does not desire to have
Uttered up. He threw no stone, but
ordered the girl to take the horses
away, which she did, but staked
them on another part of the prop
erty. Mrs. Harris was insulting and
obscene to Mrs. Christman, and
threatened to brain her with club.
Then Mr.. Christman appeared and
ordered her to go away. Mrs. Harris
refused to do this, but claimed she
would stay as long as she pleased.
Mr.. Christman then pushed her gently
from the platform, but did not strike
her. The witnesses for the defense
were Mr.. and Mrs. Christman and
David Pugh. All testified to Mrs.
Harris obscene and indecent talk and
conduct, and her vulgarity. While
they were giving their evidence, Mrs.
Harris kept up a pantomimic display
from her seat, and afterwards rebutted
her testimony. 1t did not take the
jury long to find the defendant not
guilty
