AxTELL,s FLYING MACHINE.
Portland Preacher who Is Perfecting
Flying Car.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
PORTLAND. Ind, Dec. 1.-THE recent
talk of flying machines and the purchase
of supplies for their construction has
aroused interest in the plans of Rev. j. s.
Axtell, of this city, who for several years
has been working and experimenting with
the view of building a machine for travers-
ing the air. He calls 1t the aerodrome, or
flying car. The Axtell aerodrome as con-
templated will consist Of two aeroplanes,
enc above the other. which act on the prin-
ciple of a kite. These are considerably
longer than wide, and the edges, which turn
down, are movable, so as to be used in bal
arcing the aerial craft. The use of the ball
Icon shape is discarded, because it affords
too much resistance to the air, especially in
rapid motion. The propelling fans are To-
Gated between and near the edges of the
aeroplaneS. The construction and operation
has not been divulged. Mr.. AXtells sys-
tenn for starting and landing and automatic
balancing are also kept secret. The car
and will contain the engine which is to fur
nish the necessary power Axtell began ex-
periments on his hobby in 1885, while prin-
cipal and teacher of physics in a prepara-
tory SCHOOL of the Western Reserve Univer-
sity. Since then he has been actively en-
gagged as a teacher and as pastor but
has occupied his vac ations and recreation
hours in developing his machine He is a
native of Ohio, but has been at the head Of
the Presbyterian Church of this city for
several wears.

FLINT BOTTLE TRUST.
Organization That includes Both
Union and NOnunfOn Factories.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Dec. 10. - The Com
moner and Glass Worker will say to-mor-
row: "One of the closest organizations Of
American flint bottle manufacturers has
been perfected and will assume control of
the flint bottle trades of the country within
a week or two. Fully 95 per cent. of the
flint bottle manufacturers of the country
are in it. The new organization will be
styled the American Flint Bottle Manufac-
turers' Association, with headquarters very
probably at Indianapolis. l.. S. Woodbridge,
of Belaire o., late of the Belaire VIM
dow-glass Company Redkey. Ind, has been
appointed secretary of the association. The
promoters of the new organization are
President Clifton II. Beach, of the Salts
burg Bottle Works Company, limited, who
is president of the association and as it's
executive board are George w. Yost, of
the Belaire Bottle Company, and r. K.
Breed, of the Marion Flint Glass Company,
who were the chief factors in the forma-
ton of the association perfected about
year ago. The new organization is the
outcome of much hard work on the part of
these men. Practically all the flint bottle
concerns in the country, union and nom
union. are in the new organization. In its
plan the new organization is much like the
American Glass Company, the new window
glass combine. AS a direct result of the
formation there has been an advance of 10
per cent. in flint bottles, and it is being well
maintained.

FORCED TO DISGoRGE

Attempt to Smother Anti-EIectiOn

Upton, Ind, Dec. 10.-The suit flied in
the Upton Circuit Court by Mrs. w. l..
Bergman against County Recorder Luther
Welshons was brought to an end last night,
a compromise being effected, and the suit
will be withdrawn. 1t became evident that
certain ante-election contracts brought to
light would dispossess the recorder of his Of
flee under the election bribery law, and that
the Republican candidate would assume
control of the office. An effort was made
to have the recorder resign and have the
commissioners appoint a Democrat to fill
the office to prevent it falling into the hands
of the Republicans but this scheme has
now been frustrated. 1t became known to
the public that Welshons had entered into
a written contract with W. l.. Bergman
that the latter should pay half his CAM
raign expenses in consideration that Mrs.
Rerryman should be appointed deputy re-
corder and receive for her services half the
salary of the office, it being $1,450 a year.
AT the end of the first year Welshons re-
fused to pay half the salary, and offered a
settlement on the basis of $40 a month. Mrs.
Bergman refused to accept and brought
suit to recover S2is, the amount between the
amount paid and half the salary of the of
flee. Last night, in the presence of the
County Commissioners and the attorneys, a
compromise was effected by the recorder
paying Mrs. Bergman $1,000 and she re-
signed her deputyship. A small cash pay
nent was made, another small payment to
be made in March and the remainder in
quarterly payments as the recorder draws
his allowances. Payment is to be made to
Mrs. Bergman by the commissioners out of
the county treasury The settlement is $175
more than a years salary showing conclu-
sively that contract was in existence, and
the recorder became fearful of being ousted
out of office. In lieu of the settlement Ber-
ryman is to destroy all evidences of a con-
tract and the commissioners become spon-
sors for the deferred payments The Re-
publican candidate. who was defeated by a
very small plurality, is investigating the
election bribery law and if sufficient evil
deroe can be procured, will bring suit for
possession of the Office. There is consider
able bitterness among the Democrats.
Many openly declare that had they known
such contract was in existence they would
have voted against the Democratic candi-
cate The suit exposes the methods of the
Democrats in Upton county in securing
elections.

CARING AND GETTING.
Theory that When You Cease to Want
Thing Ii Comes.

Harper's Bazaar.
1T is an occult trusm.'' says recent
writer, that so soon as you cease TO care
for thing. you get it," 1t is strange
commentary on our own short-sighted pol
icy in dealing with our lives that we often
blindly and instinctively recognize these
hidden laws governing human events, and
yet so seldom rise to enough intelligent
comprehension of them to force them to
help us In what we wish to do. instead of
hindering our advance. And then we won
der that we never can control our cjrcum-
stances or our environment and that we
are continually meeting with opposing
forces, which battle us with their insidious
action.
1t would be as sensible in physical life for
us to persist in acting in opposition to the
law of gravitation. When we worry and
fret our hearts out with yearnng for what
we want and marvel that we do not get It,
we are as unreasonable as If we threw a
stone into the air and expected 1t to stay
there. In each case we are acting against
law. Because we understand one law
better than the other makes no difference
in the force of law
We often show that we blndly recognize
these laws by the fact that we use them
in the government of our children, although
we do not have intelligence or reason
enough to apply them TO our own case. For

instance, in regard to the law stated above,
mother will often say to her child, when
you stop fretting or teasing for that (toy
or treaD you shall have It,"
Now why do we say that? 1t is not be-
cause we instinctively know that a fretful
disturbed mind is in no condition to accept
or make the best use of any good or pleas
ure?
We cannot rise to that state where we
may justly claim as ours the good we feel
sure we ought to have until we have passed
out Of the disturbed, anxious, fretful, yearn-
ing conditions which cloud our true COM
prehension of the coveted good. or perhaps
prevent our determined work to get 1t. In
the one case we may find out that, after
all, we do not care for the coveted TREASURES
enough to work for it. Or we may come 20
the conclusion that the good is worth
working for, and that our plan must be TO
make a determined effort to get it.
And so wonderful and sure is this law, in
either case we get what we have ceased
