CROSSED THE LAKE.
hut ID Cost Nissen His Life to Make
the Trial.


the Trial.
Peter Nissen. the Norwegian who
went over Niagara Falls in boat, and
who expected to be able to roll over
the ice of the Arctic regions To the
north pole, is dead, victim to his
foolhardy trip across Lake Michigan
during a gale.
Nissen's body was discovered on the
beach by Mrs. Sophia Kohlcr. the wife
of n farmer who lives on the beach,
Thursday morning. His balloon
shaped craft, the "Foolkiller No. 8,
was 200 feet farther down the beach.
total wreck.
The doctor who examined the body
as il lay on the beach declared that
he had died from Suffocation, and his
opinion was borne out by the note
which was found pinned 10 Nissen's
body. ii read: 'ln the chair, cannot
use the hose" An examination OF
the balloon showed that the air tube
had been torn in two and the supply
thereby shut of. Had it not been for
the breaking OF the air tube he would
unquestionably have made the trip in
safety.
As the body lay on the beach there
was the semblance of smile on the
features. which came perhaps as he
felt the queer machine strike the
beach and roll along in the surf. lie
felt that he had been victorious. But
the storm was too severe for him TO
attempt 10 get out on first striking
the beach and he perhaps rolled about
for several hours until. the air be-
corning exhausted, he suffocated.
Later on the balloon evidently rolled
against some Jagged rock and was
torn asunder. allowing the body OF
the intrepid NorSeman to roll out on
the beach. where it was found by the
farmers wife.
Capt. Nissen was born on the island
of Seilk. in the North sea, and had
devoted his entire life to the acquir-
ing of nautical knowledge. and it Is
believed that had he solved the prob
lem of furnishing his machine with
fresh air. even this last and most fool
ISL Of all his experiments would have
resulted in "A successful ending. That
the cold did not affect him was shown
by the fact that his limbs were not
stiff and the oyercoat that he took
with him had not been uscd, but was
folded up on the seat Of the big cam
vas bag.

SAG HARB0R.

There was only small house last
night to witness James A. Herne's
great plav of Sag Harbor. perhaps one
of the cleanest comedy dramas pro.
duced in years. 1t is on the order of
all of the late James A. Helne's
plays. in that its wisdom and Language
there is a homeliness that is most at
tractive to the public.
The play is love story timed to
the rough social life of one of the old
American whaling ports on Long Is
land.
In the cast the character of Captain
Marble is made much of. He is the
oracle of the village of Sag Harbor
and in his attemots to assist y compan-
ion in his love affairs terribly tangles
things. He is ready however to un-
tangle the net of unfortunate situa-
tions in which he has gotten his
friends in his honest efforts and
throughout this unfolding of the web
of unfortunate circumstances he is seen
at his best The character was assum
ed py Charles G. Brandt and his act
ing and his mannerisms were the
cause of much pleasure to his audi
ence.
Martha Reese, an orphan. raised
in the village and who had been saved
from the poorhouse through the efforts
of Ben Turner, is one of the pretty
characters and indeed the foremost one
of Sag Harbor. Miss Amy Hamlin
in this role did not overdue it at all
and was at all times we'll portrayed
and highly interesting character.
/ Miss Hamlin is not pretty, neither
was she gushing. but she attained the
acme of dramatic work. by her simpli-
city throughout the play.
In the character of Ben Turner Mr..
Robert Kelly showed that he was
"A most finished actor. Whatever the
conception the author had of this
character, it would seem that Mr..
Kelly had studied it we'll, as he could
not have been more nearly lifelike il
the character than he was.
Freeman Whitamarsh divided hon
ors with all. His is a particularly
strong part and he fulfilled its exac
tions we'll, both in his physical make
up and his attitude in speaking hi
lines.
Altogether Sag Harbor was among
the very best shows of the season.

proposed by the government, or rather
submitted to the government as one
of the schemes that had merit, would
never have consideration because of
its availability. 1t said then and it
repeats it now that such things are
usually decided i'll governmental cir
cles by favoritism and political pulls
The words of the Sentinel at that
time have proven true. There has
been devilishly keen laid plans to
filoh money from corporations by gov
ernment agents to make reports upon
propositions where the government
agents could successfully work gratis.
The recent Investigations by the gov.
ernment will undoubtedly discover
that government agents have been re-
ceiving double salaries to make reports
favorable to the schemes of large

President Smith says that there

the attraction of the polygamous rela

The proposition to begin the construc-
tion of a driveway between Palisades
and Fruita ought to interest the own
er of every driving horse in Mesa
county. Equally should it interest
those who conduct their business
affairs in this city or in either of the
two towns mentioned above. AS high
ways of travel. whether for farm pro-
ducts or for driving purposes they
would be invaluable arteries OF trade.
Sooner or later such road will be
built. just as soon as we can forgo for
two years piling adobe dirt in the
