AERoNAUT FALLS TO DEATH.
Maria Townsend Killed at the circu

Maria Townsend Killed at the Circus
Grounds.
Des Moines, Oct. 5.-Prof. Maria
Townsend, the aeronaut who was en-
| gagged to make the ascents and para
chute leaps from the circus grounds
each day this week, fell from his ball
loon Yesterday at $40 O'Clock, struck
| on his head and died instantly. A COM
| bination of circumstances surrounding
! the affair makes it look as though no
one person or condition was responsible
for the death, but that it was purely
accidental. A coroner's jury, composed
| OF b. b. Morris, A. l.. Lawrence and
Charles Ferstin was sworn in last eve
ming and will hear the evidence this af-
| ternoon at 2 O'clock.
Townsend's act was scheduled to fol-
low the circus each day, and Tuesday
1t was performed in a very creditable
and successful manner, but not as adj
vertised. He was down on the pro-
gram to be shot out of a cannon, sail
through the air, and descend with a
parachute. He said the tin cannon was
too heavy for his balloon to carry, SO
went up without it and made the ordi
nary parachute descent Yesterday the

drop. The balloon had began to de-

AWFULNESS OF PRISON LIFE.

The first aspect OF prison life that
strikes one who enters within the doors
IL its cutoffness from the world outside" ="
writes Mrs. Ballington Booth in the
February Ladies' Home Journal "The
man who has friends who still care for
him may receive stated number OF
visits "a year. when for a few minutes
he talks with wife or mother or friend
In the guardroom, and he is allowed TO
write one letter ~ month and TO re-
ceive letters twice week To him
there Is, therefore, still this little
bridge between his cell and the world
from which he has been hanishcd To
many, however, there does not exist
this link-no friends have they TO call
ON them, and the deliverer OF letters
passes their cells every week for years
without stopping 10 hand "A message
through the bars TO them. stern dis
ciplinc, loneliness long hours of work
N narrow little cell with Just room
enough for stool and bed with n
trick barred door through which the
light falls tlanked with shadows as a
constant reminder OF confinement
these in. part, make up prison life
The felon OF wealth and the poor
prisoner from the slums may march
next each other i'm the lockstep and oc
cupy adjacent cells on the gallery. for
To all intents and purposes they are
alike now. The striped dress. close
cropped hair. the utter stripping off Of
all comforts have leveling influence.
The aWfulness OF prison life lies i'm
the memories Of the past: the dismal
contrast between home and prison cell:
the longing for loved ones whose hearts
are aching away out OF reach; the |
knowledge that the wrctched compan-
ionship OF misery must be theirs IN |
the weary round OF prison toll from |
morning tin night for the long wears |
ahead. which seem intcrminable. Above |
aud beyond all this. prisoners have the |
bitter realization OF the brand that has |
fallen upon them never to bc removed |
convicts-that they are degraded before |

BELOW ZERO.


IL was cold last night and Il was
cold this morning. and 1t was a notable
fact that there was "a perfect unanm-
/ ity OF opinion in regard 10 the fact that
IL was cold. The real cold spell began
about o'clock yesterday afternoon.
when the mercury stood at nine above
zero and 1t then began To fall. until
at q clock IL was one above, and peo-
pie began TO hustle.
AT o'clock last evening. the mer-
curry began co slide some more. and
from that time until o'clock this
morning IL sank gradually until il
reached three below, and there IL show
ca an inclination 10 make another
struggle against going lower. IL was
a total drop OF II degrees i'm the II
hours from In the afternoon until . In
the morning. AT about $3.50 O'clock this
morning, the thermometer showed a
still greater drop, for il was Jhen seven
below zero, making the codest record
Of the winter of 9S-'99. up TO date
The forecast for today indicates con-
tinued cold weather. but there is n pos
s.bilty that there will be break this
evening and IL certainly can come none
TOO soon for general comfort.
Last night was the coldest Of the
winter In Newport, thermometers at
daylight registered from four to eight
below zero. 1t IL very rare that New
port experiences such extreme cold.
ana TX is now several years since the
temperature went much below zero.

ers, according TO advance reports OF the
result OF their labors, find no fault
with the now famous army beef, but
Gen. Miles is TO be given a hearing on

qury ordered 10 "examine into tho

Involved in the charges by Gen. Miles
against the administration Of war af-
fairs On the face Of II this looks as IL
the commanding general OF the army
is TO have a clear field FOR his own side.
IL VIII be recalled that upon the ap-
pointment of the war board, Gen. Miles
was not anxious 10 make any case be-
fore IT. He did not look upon it as
tribunal of sufficient standing 10 deal
with the problems with which he had
particularly identified himself as, pracA
tically, in opposition to the powers
that assumed the management and di-
rection OF the war. His own wish was
for an investigation by Congress ac-
cording 10 well established precedent.
Now he gets court OF inquiry, a tri-
bunal Of military men, n jury OF his
peers, so 10 speak. 1t IL reasonable to
expect that the whole matter will have
a thorough overhauling without any
mincing. How it will come out only |
partisans OF one side or another would |
venture 10 guess. TO the country at |
large the complications are at present |
beyond untangling. II the new court |
