NEW FLYING MACHINE.


w. f. Brinton makes his trial trip in
his new air ship at the fair grounds Of
Washington, Ia, September 20. This
is one of the first ever built in the state
of Iowa. w. +. Brinton has been for
some time experimenting on aerial
navigation and has at last succeeded in
making what he considers Will prove
practical air ship. The weight is
buoyed UP from the ground by huge
balloon that is inflated with hydrogen
gas. This balloon measures fifty-four
feet in length and is between eighteen
and twenty feet in diameter. Over the
balloon is a large net and to this Is at
tached the car in which the aeronaut
| will ride. In this car is one horse
lpower gasoline engine that drives two
screw power propellers and four wings
| that beat the air like that of a bird.
| The screw power propellers are used in
! steering the ship and assisting the bal
| loon in its ascent. Much curious in
terest is INDUCED in by our people as
| to the result of the effort to make the
machine go, and big crowd will be
present.

INCREASED LAND TRANSFERS.
Davenport Democrat.l
This year is making great showing,
compared with last year, in the matter
of documents recorded in this county.
Up to Sept. IS, inclusive, 1885, the num-
Der of instruments of all kinds filed for
record was 127. Up to noon today the
number was TIA, an increase of frac-.
ton over IS per cent. The figures apply
only to the month OF September, 1898
and 1899. BY the time this month is
ended there is fair promise that the per-
centage of increase will be still more re-
markable. 1t has been from 30 to so
per cent all this year, and there Is no
falling off. 1t is to be taken into con-
sideration, also, that last year the fig
ures We're mounting upward at this
time, under the impetus of the growing
revival of activity in all lines; fact
that argues that there must be a pro-
portionate increase this year, or the 1899
figures could not maintain the lead they
have. The showing is one that is high
ly satisfactory. The instruments re-
corded do not run overwhelmingly in
the nature of mortgages. Transfers of
property and other commercial transact
tons are the bulk of the business re-

The only real alignment any German

on the ground of prohibition. The re-
publican party displaced that issue
with the thirteenth plank and the mulct
law. That leaves politics between re-
publicans and democrats on the issue of
Organism and the Chicago platform.

where that favors the one or the other.

A MARVELLOUS WORK

Pipes and ConduIts Changed From Chaos 10
Orderly Arrangement

London, Aug. 2.-That marvellous
piece OF engineering work done under
the roadway at the Mansion House Is
important stage, though the whole
work will certainly not be finished till
November and perhaps not then. Any
body privileged to go down below there
can not fail to be amazed that IL should
have been found possible to do what
has been done while the full tide of
London's traffic has been going on
just overhead. When they began work
here, the whole OF the great expanse of
roadway had a solid earth foundation,
except that the ground was ramified
by an astonishing tangle OF all sorts OF
pipes, ranging from the old wooden wa
ter pipes of past age up to hydraulic
mains and the pneumatic tubes. Now,
the space down below the road is an
other world of gloomy galleries and
impenetrable voids, dimly illumined by
electric glow lamps, and peopled by
whole host of dusky gnomes. who still
seem to be wriggling their way down
