sleeping rooms for students. The annex
will also include an assembly hail. with a
seating capacity of 600, and a drill hall
A few years ago the college farm was
far from being model one, but now the
fields show a velvety grass the envy of all
visitors. and the greenhouses, propagating
gardens and other sources for experimental
ton are models to excite admiration. There
are dairy and butter-making facilities
where practical training Is given.
There are 900 students In the college,
some from South America, who are indus
trfous. enthusiastic, eager for instruction
and laborious in perfecting themselves.
Surely this should spur. our boys to do
their best.
Mr. ]. r. Hall has gone to New Mexico
has completed arrangements and ground
has been broken for his new home in the
Hyatt subdivision here.
Charlie Weeks, who fell from his wheel
several days ago, hurting himself internal
ly, was taken to the Emergency Hospital
Thursday where he was operated upon
immediately. His mother was sent for.
but all danger was over before she could
get there. He is mending rapidly and
there are bright prospects of his recovery.

Professor LangIey's Flying Machine
 Breaks Down.
 WIDEWATER, Va, Sept. 4.-Profes- sor Langley's $7O,OOO air ship was pre- pared to be launched. Mir. c. M. Manly, inventor of the motor engine, donned a heavy life preserver and mounted the seat in the air ship. Every wing, pro- peller aid adjustment was in place and the machine ready to fly.
 Before putting on the life preserver MT. Manly shook hands with his assist ants, climbed into the air ship car and applied the power. The propellers gave a spasmodic clutch and stopped with a jerk Repeatedly the civil engineer en- deavored to get his motor under con trol without success. After many fail- ures the electric spark ignited the gas- oline and the screws began to go, until they made 600 revolutions a minute. Then the propellers stopped. A broken valve, up to that time unobserved, had caused the trouble. No permanent re- pairs could be made so Professor Lang ley called the event off. Mir. Manly crawled down from his perch and shook hands again, and everybody admitted he had had narrow escape.

AN INTERESTING RACE.
That for Second Lieutenant in Com
 pany A, 0. N. G.

pany A, o. N. c.
 An interesting race is going on among several non-commissioned off, cers of Company A for the office of sec ond lieutenant, made vacant by the resignation of Lieutenant Walter Sack etta who has removed to Bridgeport, where he Is head salesman at E. H. Dillon & Co.'S millinery establishment Among those who would like to suc- ceed Lieutenant Sackett are mentioned Sergeants Wilcox and Bangs. Some os the friends of Sergeant Major Morrison would like to have him enter the race, but he doesn't want the position, so he says. He is manager of the local bas- ket ball team and this position will oc- cupy his time at least four nights dur ing the week. He, consequently, would not have the time to devote to the mili- tary duties required of the second lieu tenant. As sergeant-major he has to participate in only one drill a month, the battalion drill, while as second lieutenant he would have to. attend drills weekly. The only objection made to Sergeant Wilcox is that he hasn't been in the service long enough. He has been member of Company about a year. When he was jumped from corporal to first sergeant over the heads of a half dozen officers about two months ago. by Captain Garter, the affair produced quite a sensation in military circles. He is an efficient off, cer. and so is Sergeant Bangs. Either would prove a worthy successor to Lieutenant Sackett. who was a capable officer and was well liked by the mem bers of the company.

 This is the season of the year when repairs should be made to doors and windows of houses. If there are any broken panes of glass have them re- moved and new ones put in their places. If any windows are minus pane of glass or two put in new ones at once. All these things should be done now before the cold weather sets in. Fine glass and the best of putty can be secured at A. c.

Real Estate and Rents
0'NEILL'S BULLETIN.

Making money is question that stares every man in the face all his life. Vanderbilt makes money by sending his valet de chambre down to the safety deposit vaults to bring home a roll of bills that would choke a horse. Most of Us are not as fortunate as that, but at the same time if you know how to make money you can make a comparatively smaller amount with just as little trouble as Wander bilt takes
 I have block on Burton street that you can get by paying $3,000 down. The block pays 10 per cent on $18,OOO. Now the question is, if you borrow 5000 from the bank to buy this block, paying for it SIT, ,OoO, you will have to pay 5 per cent on $17,O00, which amounts in one year to $85O. You are getting from the block 10 per cent on S1S,OOO. which amounts to $1 800 a year. Out of that 1,800 you pay $S5O for interest money. This leaves you practically an income of $o50 a year. This amounts to about $3 a day. Did you ever make money easier than that?
 There is d three-family house on Fairview street. paying 10 per cent on the purchase price $500, that can be bought for less money. Why don't you buy this place, live in one part yourself and rent the other parts? The rents will more than cover expenses.
 Open every night except Monday.
