A birds unsa while it is flying per-
foYm two frnctiona They sustain its
weight and they propcl it. Human be-
inGs in trying to initiate the bird have
been mare successful in the former ti-
rcction than in the latter. Such ma
nipnlations of wings as will drive Il
person forward, either by muscle or
power from apparatus strapped to the
body, may be learned eventually, or
the future Daedalus may rely upon
some entirely separate device for pro-
pulsion and retain the wings merely
for support and balancing. In either
case. all attempts to find out what can
really be accomplished with these lat
ter appliances possesses interest for
scientists and the public: Herr o.
Lilienthal, of Stcglitz (ncar Berlin),
Germany, has been experimenting in
this direction with contrivances that
resemble great wings. In the brief de-
scription at hand no information is i'm
parted concerning the materials en-
ploycd. But the wings had an expanse
of fifteen square meters, or one hun
drcd and siXty-five square feet. Herr
Lilienthal's plan, according to the
New York Tribune. was to find broad
roof, hilltop or other convenient ele-
walton, run a few steps against the
wind and then leap into the air. Hori-
zontal impetus was thus acquired be-
fore he left terra firma. He was then
able to slide downward at an angle of
only ten or fifteen degrees from hor-
izontal, although it was in his
power, by shifting the center of grav-
ity relatively to the center of exist
cnce, to change the inclination of the
wings and descend more rapidly. No
mention is made of his success in steer
ing himself laterally. AS the greater
part of his weight was suspended be-
low the wings, of course he kept right
side up without difficulty. To lessen
the atmospheric resistance, however,
he drew his legs up somewhat While
he was about it, one could wish that
Herr Lilicnthal had made kite of
himself and tried to see how long the
wind would sustain him at one end of a
long light wire, the other end of which
was in the hands OF three or four stout
mon, or securely anchored.

A BAND of thieves, led by an Ameri-

cattle in the different ranches in the

driven the stolen ANIMALS acrcss the

THERE were 237 business failures in

were being severely felt by the business
community.
THE San Francisco mint began the
coinage of standard silver dollars on the

sentatives and denouncing certain dem
ocratic senators as traitors. He severe
ly denounced Senator PETER for not
voting with the tariff reformers.
In touching upon the silver issue he
said that in twenty years the demo
cratic party had been the only party
that had sought by persistent effort to
restore silver to its proper standing.
He denounced the aggregation of COM
mercial power and said that this status
was due to unwholesome republican
legislation, and declared that the pres
ent generation had to meet this issue
at the ballot box, peacefully, but forci-
bly,, or that all of liberty would be lost.
Much of Mr.. Overmyer's speech was
devoted to prohibition in Kansas, and
he pointedly demanded a resubmission
of the prohibitory amendment to the
constitution, to the end that that
measure should be wiped out, declar-
ing that it had been fastened upon
Kansas by outside missionaries and
urging that no constitution should
prevent the manufacture and sale of
any commodity that was universally
merchantable in every part of the
world.
He referred to the many obnoxious
laws that had been passed to bolster
up and carry into effect the provisions
of the prohibitory law, and eloquently
referred to the love Americans cher
ished for personal liberty, of which
they were robbed by the prohibition
law.
In closing, Mr.. Overmyer devoted
some time to the discussion of woman's
suffrage and predicted dire disaster to
the state should the amendment be
carried at next November's election.
He declared it strange that this coun-
try should prosper for over 100 years,
when all at once some wiseacreS in the
east should make the discovery that
women had been all these years denied
any rights under the constitution: that
she should instanter be clothed with
the franchise.
Mr.. Overmyer was repeatedly inter
rupted by applause during his talk.
His speech is considered of great i'm
portance, as foreshadowing the course
of the democracy in the campaign
which is now on. 1t is evident that
national issues will be left alone and
the battle fought on local state ques-
tions.
Joseph Lowe, candidate for congress-
man-at-large, followed in brief speech
on national issues. Other candidates
on the state ticket responded briefly to

HostilitIes Have Commenced Between
China and Japan.
LONDON, July 2S.-A dispatch re-
ceived here at 1920 a. m. to-day from
Lloyds agent at Shanghai, China, con-
firms the announcement exclusively
cab1ed to the Associated press on Sat-
urday last that war between China
and Japan has been declared and fight
ing is said to have already begun.
Matthieson & Co., Lloyds' agents in
England, have received cable mes
sage which confirms the announcement
that war has been declared between
Japan and China.
The cause of the declaration of war
is said to be the fact, as previously
announced by the Associated press,
that the japanese attacked the Chinese
transports conveying troops to Corea.
In this engagement at least one Chinese
transport was sunk by a japanese
cruiser.
But it would now seem that the
fighting between the Chinese and Jap
anese warships was much more serious
than at first announced for it is ru-
nored in anti-Chinese circles that the
Chinese have already suffered very
heavy losses, and it is believed that a
number of Chinese ships have been
sunk by the Japanese cruisers.

Destruction and Destitutfon Caused by
Them in Wisconsin.
ASHLAND, Wis, July 2s.-Forest fires
are producing great suffering and loss
throughout this vicinity, and railroad
companies have never before exc
perienced such damage from fires. On
the Wisconsin Central railroad it is inn
possible &c move trains. Phillips, the
headquarters of the John r. Davis
Lumber Co., a manufacturing town of
2,50O, is destroyed by fire and only
few buildings remain standing. A dis
patch just received from Fifeld,
small station a few miles this side of
Phillips, says that 500 women and chill
dren from Phillias are in the woods
there without shelter They sent re-
quest for food and supplies as the sup
ply at Fifeld is very short. The train
that started from here last evening was
obliged to return as the bridges are
totally destroyed a few miles south.
Along the Omaha line fires are rag
ing with terrible fereeness. Shores
Crossing, little village 8 miles west
of Ashland, was destroyed yesterday
afternoon, not building remaining
standing, and the homeless families
were brought to Ashland. The rail-
road bridges near there were destroyed,
and in the afternoon fast Omaha
freight and sixteen loaded cars were
entirely burned. Both the engineer
and fireman were injured, and the
brakemen are missing. Loss to cars
and freight many thousand dollars.
Mason, a small town south of the
Omaha line caught fire in the after
moon. The White River Lumber Co.
mill, with 40, 900 feet of lumber in
the yards, was destroyed, and at 6
o'clock, the latest report received here,
says the entire town was threatened.
The Omaha bridge across the White
river at Mason is burned. Railroad of

STATE OF TRADE.

Wheat Still Travelling Downward-Revival
of Railroad Traffic.
NEW YORK, July 2S.-R. G. Dun &5
Co. s Weekly Review of Trade says:
The heavy outgo of gold, the fall of the treas
ury reserve and of the price of wheat to the
lowest point on record and the increasing un-
certainty about the tariff have entirely over
shadowed other industries. Business delayed
for months by two great strikes now crowds the
railroads and swells returns, and gives the inn
preston of revival in business. BUTT is notyet
clear how far there is an increase in new traffic
distinguished from that which has been merely
bloclxaded or deferred. In some branches there
has been more activity, but in others less, be-
cause events carly this week led many to infer
that no change of tariff would be made. The
internal revenue receipts on whisky suddenly
dropped more than half, and sales OF wool
greatly increased. But the uncertainty is not
removed, and much OF the business done seems
to. be in the Ea.-re OF insurance against possi-
bilities.
Wheat has found it's way in the lowest
depths, and has sold below 50 cents, making the
monthly average at New York the lowest ever
known. Western receipts have been 5,455.S74,
against 3,129, ,295 bushels last year, in part be-
cause of delayed shipments, but the movement
from the farms has been heavy, while Atlantic
exports have been only 1,5fi,604 bushels,
against 2,O57,O5O last year. Corn was stronger,
with accounts of injury TO part of the crop, and
the exports are trif1ing.
While scarcity of coke delays resumption OF
work in many central and western iron mills,
the light inquiry for finished products at Chi
cago and the disappointing demand for most OF
Pittsburgh raises doubt whether material in
crease can be expected until the tariff question
is out of the way. The demand for sheets Is
better at Chicago. and there are numerous
small orders for structural work at Pittsburgh
with rather better demand for bars, but moth
ing like the expected rush.
