1T WAS ONLY A WEATHER KITE

Object of Much Curious and Some
Apprehensive Speculation.
Hundreds OF Omaha residents sighted a
big white speck out In the northwest heavens
yesterday morning and puzzled their brains
to establish Its identity. Some declared 1t
to be last years air ship; others Insisted that
1t was planet and opined that planet seen
| IN the daytime Is a sure sign Of war. Not
one in a thousand hit upon the right solu-
tion-that 1t was kite sent up at the re-
Gently established kite station.
The station is located on the top Of knoll
near Fiftieth and Cunning streets, where
plenty Of room Is given for the experiments.
Aerial Observer G. X. R0btason holsted the
big kite for the first time late Tuesday aft
ernoon, but few people noticed 1t. As 1t
hung in the heavens at the second ascension
yesterday morning and its white canvas
sides CLEANED IN the bright sunlight, 1t at
tracted universal attention. Both flights were
very successful. On Tuesday evening the
kite went up a little over 5000 feet at the
end OF $500 feet Of line. Yesterday morning
OF wire. 1T was intended to try another
flight yesterday afternoon. but the wind was
not strong enough. A ten-mile an hour
breeze Is required to raise the big kite.
The kite is about seven feet long ABOUT
as high and nearly three feet bo width and
its instrument attached. 1t is what Is known
| as box kite and Is composed OF two 'cells
or compartments. These are simply formed
by strips OF canvas fastened about the frame
work. The string consists Of fine steel wire,
$4,000 feet OF which is wound upon a reel.
To hoist the kite, 1t Is carried about 1000
feet from the reel. The man at the latter
rapidly winds 1t UP and the kite goes up
as an ordinary paper kite does when a boy
runs to raise 1t. The reel Is arranged upol
a pivot SO that 1t veers whenever an upper
current OF air chnges the course OF the
kite. -..
Both flights so far made have been only
trials. since the instrument with which data
OF the upper currents Is to be secured has
not arrived. This is a combination barograph,
which registers the pressure OF the air; a
thermograph which records the tempera-
ture; a hygrometer, which registers the hui
midity, and an anemometer, which takes
the wind velocity. The Instrument Is self
registering. The only other instrument
used is what is termed a methoscope, which
shows the height OF the kite. Attached to
the reel Is an Indicator to show the amount
OF wire that is out and its angle.
The aerial observer has quite bit OF
work to do during a flight. AS the kite goes
up its instrument registers clntinually the
condition Of the currents OF air through
whiCd 1t passes. During all this time the
observer Is taking account Of the surface
conditions. For example he notes the pres
sure, temperature, humidity and wind We
locity on earth when the kite rs up 1000,
1000 feet and so on In making up his report
the surface data and those registered by the
instrument are compared.

possible War Measures.
CHICAGO. April 20.-Passenger officials OF
the roads centering In Chicago are divided
on the question as to whether the railroad
or the purchaser OF tickets, should pay the
tax to be imposed by the government In case
of war. Some are of the opinion that the
maximum rate law effective in some states
will prevent them from adding anything tc
the present price of tickets and others sa,
tha. the increase will not be an increase IL
the price OF the tickets but will be a tax
and that the government and the passengers
can se.:le the matter between them and o.

rates Is concerned the law from the govern.
ment will take precedence over any enact

A CRITICAL time

of Santiago.
SICK OR WELL. A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.

The Packers ut the Battle Of Santiago de
Cuba were all Heroes. Their Heroic Ef-
forts I'm Getting Ammunition and Rations
tn the Front Saved the Day.
p. E. Butler, Of pack-train No. 3, writ
ing from Santiago de Cuba, on July 23d,
says: 1--WE all bad diarrhoea in more or
less violent form, and when we landed We
had no time to see doctor, for it was a
case of rush and rush night and day to
keep the troops supplied with ammuni-
ton and rations, but thanks to Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem
edy, we were able to keep at work and
keep our health; in fact, sincerely be:
lieve that at one critical time this medi-
cine was the indirect saviour OF our army,
for if the packers had been unable to
work there would have been no way of
getting supplies to the front. There
were no roads that wagon train could
use. My comrade and myself had the
good fortune to lay in supply of this
medicine for our pack-train before we
left Tampa, and know in four cases it
absolutely saved life."

The much-talked-of and long-ex-
pecced tobacco famine Ii here. Before
the war with Spain began the air was
filed with prophecies of such famine.
The Cuban rebellion was on, but still
there was genuine Cuban tobacco to
be had. Al the rebellion dragged
along stories were heard about the
price Of tobacco going up and the
quality going down. But Havana to-
bacco was still to be had for price.
A New York correspondent Of the
Warrington Star says the importers
knew al about this some time ago, but
It fell upon the smokers unaw6res. It
has even reached the clubs which were
supposed to be pientifully supplied
With the fragrant weed. 1t has devel-

More Horse Thieves Arrested.

On Thursday Messrs. BIN. Flowery
and John Curry, OF Pollock, arrived
in Colfax with Joe Hudson, arrested
under the charge OF horse stealing
and house breaking. Two parties
were arrested by the same posse on
the same charge, but as one OF the
accused, Tom Barnett, had gun
and attempted to use it, he was fired
upon and seriously wounded. Bar
nett was left at Pollock to have his
wounds attended to by the doctors
of that place.
The shooting and arrest occurred
on Fish Creek, and was assisted in by
Dan Williamson, Will Clark, B. M.
Flowery and John Curry, who track
ed the thieves and recovered the stol-
en- property, consisting OF a horse,
gun and some other articles. From
reports Hudson and Barnett are
pretty tough customers, bat as they
were caught dead to rights in this
case, it is probable the State will take
charge of them, and for several years
at least they will not trouble any
body.
