STARTING A SUMMER BREEZE.

had just sat down to dinner when one
of the hired men came running into the
house to tell me about an immense fun
nel-shaped cloud that was looming up
in the distance. 1t was coming our way.
I stood in fascination and listened to
the whirring sound it made. Every
body else had made for the cyclone cell
lar, but 1 was so discouraged at the
thought of losing the results of my
years of labor in cultivating the farm
that 1 didn't bulge. braced myself
for the shock, feeling convinced that
there was only minute between me
and mix-up that would land me in
eternity"
"Of course" said the first speaker,
with sneer which fully recognized the
slim man as rival. 81 know the rest
of the story. The cyclone picked you
up as tenderly as if you were babe and
gently deposited you in the next coun-
ty. The only thing it did to you was to
move the part of your hair from the
middle to the side. That may not be
the exact story, but it's something very
like it,"
NO." was the quietly confident re-
joinder, "the cyclone never touched me.
A series of the most remarkable Incl
dents occurred, each in the nick of
time. When it got to the town it struck
row of starch factories. 1t was full
of rain, and / could see that the i'm
mense cloud of starch it absorbed stag
gered it. On the instant the sun blazed
out from behind cloud and stiffened
the whole mass so that it fell to the
ground with crash. Ididn't dare leave
it there for fear a shower would come
up and loosen it so as to let the wind
out, and had the hired men take axes
and break it into small chunks, which
1 packed away in the barn. 1t was
great luxury in the summer. When
ever one of those hot August days came,
all we had to do was TO take piece of
cyclone about as big as your arm and
pour little water on it now and then,
in order to get a cool, steady breeze all
day. The only trouble we ever had oc-
CURED when mother thoughtlessly
soaked an unusually large piece with
a teakettle full of boiling water and
blew the roof off the summer kitchen"

whisky Kills n Baby,

The 15-months-old son of Hedwig
Paupert, of Chicago. while his parents
were asleep one night recently secured
from a closet bottle containing half
pint of whisky and drank part of it.
Paupert and his wife were awakened
DIV the chiid's cries and found him in
commissions. DR.. S. C. Hennin was
sent for, but before he arrived the child
had died from the effects of the liquor.
The doctor made out death certificate
and presented it to the health depart
ment with the application for burial
permit. Because of the circumstances,
however, the department refused to is
sue a permit and the coroner was noti-
fed. The officials have no suspicion that
the parents were in any way, aside from
carelessness, responsible for the child's
death.

WHO IS G1LPATR1cKg
st. Lous inquiries About the Bronchos'
Warm Pitcher.

St. Lous inquiries About the Bronchos'
Warm Pitcher.
st Louis baseball circles are aroused
to a state of wonderment by the news
that George fitzpatrick, one of the
Broncho twirlers, has been drafted by
the st. Louis club. The Post-Dispatch
handles the matter thusly:
who is S. A fitzpatrick? That is
the question the st. Louis baseball
fraternity were asking each other this
morning. A four line telegram an
nounced that Van der Abe had pur-
chased the release of Fitzpatrick from
the San Antonio club for 5000. The
dispatch bringing the news came from
San Antonio, Texas. fitzpatrick pitch
ed for the San Antonio club of the Tex
as league last summer and Van der
Abe has signed him as one of the twirl-
ers of next Years Browns. Not much
is known of fitzpatrick by st. Louis
Players, but according to the official
averages of the Texas league, Gilpat-
rick came far from cutting a pigeon
wing down there. Out of eighty bats
men in the Texas league, fitzpatrick
could finish no better than forty fourth
with an average of 269, a mighty poor
record for one aspiring to major league
honors. AS pitcher he stood eighth
among the eighteen twirlers. He
pitched only eighteen games during
the whole season, and while GIG of his
opponents faced him at bat, 1863 of them
scored hits off his delivery, an aver
age of 267. But perhaps Gilpatrick is
conner and will really make a good
player for the Browns. With the new
man added the Browns pitchingdepart-
ment now includes Taylor, Sudhoff,
Hart, Esper, Coleman and .Gilpatrick' -
fitzpatrick is spending the winter in
San Antonio. He says he has not vet
signed with the st. Louis, although a
contract was sent him for his sigma
ture. Before / sign / want a piece
of that draft money" said he. 81
don't see how the San Antonio people
| can have a claim on me when the club
disbanded long before the season was
over If the players would have re-
ceived their salaries to the end of the
season San Antonio could hold them
But the way it is think it's impossi-
BILE. 1 don't have to sign with ST.
Louis, and before I'll let them draft me
without coming in on the deal; I'll not
play ball. I've got something else in
sight, anyway. 1 don't have to play
ball for 500 or SIPS"
For the information of st. Louis
baseball cranks it may be added that
fitzpatrick can easily show up some OF
the pitchers Van der Abe has had on
his staff lately. He has good speed
and curves, and is at the best when
runners are on the bases. He is fair
batsman and base-runner, and as a
| fielding pitcher was in a class by him
self. Gilpatrick's many friends have
not the least fear that st. Louis com
pany is bit too fast for him.

NOT FOR SEVEN YEARS
Had There Been a Wedding in Eft.
Gaines-Au the Stores Close.

Macon, Ga, Nov. 1.-Although the
town of Fit. Gaines, Ga, has a popula-
ton of 2 500, the first marriage to occur
in that municipality within the past
seven years, has just been celebrated.
To show their appreciation of the
great event, every business house in
the town closed its doors for the entire
day, all of the church bells rang mer-
rily, and the whole town and suburbs
took on a holiday aspect. After the
ceremony a mass meeting was held, and
the groom, Mr.. Joseph Culpepper, a
highly respected and popular young
man of Fit. Gaines, was nominated for
mayor of the town, and he will have no
opposition at the coming election.
The bride was Miss Pearl Brown, one
of the most attractive young ladies of
Fit. Gaines.
When it became known that the
young people were engaged and intend
ed to marry, the whole town was agOg,
as it had been so long since a marriage
ceremony had been performed in the
place that nearly everybody had for
gotten all about it.
OF course everybody in town was in
vited, and every body who could crowd
into the church where the ceremony
was performed, was there. Nearly ev-
eryOne gave a present of some kind.
and, as the community is a. very wealthy
one, many of the presents were hand
some and costly.
So many and varied were the presents
that Mr.. and Mrs. Culpepper will have
to buy very few articles on which to
start to housekeeping.

propelled by foot power. I figure that
it would not cost more than S75.
1.-THE machine will be built the plan
of a bird. The spread of it's wings will
be so feet and it will be 10 feet wide. The
framework will be made of stout timber,
and the braces which here are cords will
be steel wire. Instead of muslin shall
use a stout cloth. probably silk, because
it is air tight. Everything will be made
as light and strong as possible and I
figure that a machine this size will not
weigh more than 70 pounds. The propel-
ling power will be very much like a BIZ
cycle. There will be two propellers, one
on either side. They will be about three
feet in diameter and one foot wide. These
propellers will be worked by pedals like
a bicycle by the operator. The machine
will be guided by a fan-like tail, which
will also regulate the height in the air.
1.-The machine will rest upon two pneu-
matte Wheels which will be used in start
ing and will also be brought into service
when alighting. 1t will require very lit
tie power to operate the machine because
there is little resisting surface and it will
be carried by the air. I figure that the
practical speed at first will be about 30
miles an hour, though I believe that the
time will come when when it will be pos
sible to attain a speed of over 100 miles
the less it will take to propel the ma
chine"
Mr.. Haas then went into a scinetific
demonstration to show how his machine
Is sustained in the air and why it win
require less power to propel it under a
high rate of speed than under a low
rate. He also proved by scientific dem
onstration that the machine viii life two
pounds of weight for every square foot
of surface. According to his figures the
machine he proposes to build with 90
feet spread will carry easily LOCO pounds,
but he does not intend to put that much
weight upon it in it's trial trip.
The machine has not yet been patented,
because the inventor says he has not the
money to do it, but he proposes to or
ganize a company in Topeka and build
the first machine here. He also proposes
to have the trial trip made in Topeka,
and he is confident that it will prove all
he claims for it.

Santa Ana, Nov. 1.-Searchlght IS
king of pacing 3-year-olds. His time
made on the track in an exhibition mile
and an eighth ecipses all previous rec
ords, and puts him at the head of
PAGERS for his age.
With running mate he was driven
by Tom Heating and established as his
record, 2:O5A. His time at the quarter
was O:32, at the half 1:021z and at the
three-quarter 1:341k. He went the
whole mile without a flip or break, his
driver discarding the whip and coaxing
him on with his voice. When the grand
stand was passed the crowd saluted
with great cheering, which broke out
again when the time, 2:O5A, was an
nounced. Searchlight is by Darknight
and is owned by Lou Kreling, of Pleas
anton. At the Los Angeles meet he
went a mile and an eighth in order that
he might still remain in the 2:10 class.

TOPEKA THE STRONGER.
Won From the AtchisoD Eleven by a
Score of 10 to 6.

The Topeka High School football
team won from the AtchisOn High
School football team Saturday after
noon at Athletic park. In the first half
True for Topeka was carried over the
AtchisOn line for a touchdown. Cart
ndge failed to make an easy goal and
the score was to 0. In the second
half True was again sent through Atch-
ison's center for a touchdown. Cart
lidge kicked the goal and the score was
10 to in favor of Topeka. The ball
was taken to the center and play re-
sumed. Atchison had the ball but lost
it to Topeka on downs when they had
carried it within 10 yards of Topeka s
goal line. Topeka worked the ball ten
yards nearer the center of the field.
1t was growing near the time for the
time keeper to call the game and he
warned the players that they had but
a few minutes to play. Topeka fun
bled the ball. Ham of AtchiSon picked
it out of the bunch and was through
the backs before anyone knew who had
the ball. He had but little opposition
and scored Atchison's only touchdown
Time keeper E. w. Graham said that
he called time before the ball was
snapped back and that the play did
not count. Referee Snider said that
the play would be allowed and accord
ing to the decision the try for goal was
allowed. Score 10 to 6.

STOWAWAYS IN PIANO BOX
Man and Wife Ship Themselves as
Freight From Seattle.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. while an up
right piano box addressed to the Ives
Pond Piano company, Boston, was be-
ing put in a freight car here today,
Check Clerk Meckstroth noticed that
water was running out of the bottom.
The box was opened and a man and wo-
man, scantily attired, were found in
side.
They gave their names as Mr.. and
Mrs. A. F. Tyler and said they had no
money and wanted to get out of Seat
tie at the expense of the railroad COM
panies.
They were well provided with pro-
visions and a big can of water. Tyler
said that in 1896 he and his wife made
a trip across the continent from Exeter,
N. H, in a wagon. 1t was the intention
of the stowaways to stop in Chicago,
the box being routed over the Northern
Pacific and the Northwestern roads.

Fitzsimmons was initiated into the

for a dispensatiOn in his case from
Deputy Armstrong, which that official
refused by wire. The lodge, however
admitted the pugilist, and as soon as
Deputy Armstrong heard how his rul-
ings had been ignored, he at once or
dered the pugilist's expulsion
In all probability the lodge will drop
Fitzsimmons from it's membership in
