AlRsHiP MAKES A GREAT TRIP.
Not Only D%irigibIe, but Can Make
Roadway Against Breeze.

st. Louis, Nov. after circling in
every direction at a height of 1000
feet above the Cascades, in sight of
thousands of cheering, enthusiastic
spectators on the worlds fair grounds.
A. Roy Knabenshu of Toledo, Ohio, in
command Of the Baldwin airship, yes
terday returned to the place from
which he had started over the same
course that he had come, covering the
three miles and a half of the round
trip under his own power, and demon
strating the claims Of the inventor,
Capt. Thomas S. Baldwin of San
Francisco, that the "Califoria Ar
row is not only dirigible, but that it
can make Roadway against a moder-
ate breeze. Knabenshu started from
the aeronautic at 3:37 p. m.
and returned after
His Remarkable Flight
at 4:05 o'clock. In the round trip the
airship sailed back to the exact place
where it had risen and glided about
100 feet further west, where it settled
gracefully to the ground.
The descent of the Arrow was the
signal for a demonstration the equal.
of which has not been seer since the
wheels of the worlds fair started
last April in response to the pressure
on a key by President Roosevelt.
Dozens of eager hands We're up
stretched to grasp the frame of the
airship, and the flying machine, with
it's daring navigator We're carried
around the upon the shout
ders of shouting men.
Hats were thrown in the air, and
when Knabenshu called for three
cheers for his home town, they were
given with a will and another round
followed for Knabenshu and Baldwin.
Although he had just completed the
most remarkable flight in the history
of American ~aeronautics, Knabenshu
had only praise for the flying machine
he had directed.
"There was not a moment" said
Knabenshu, when | did not have
complete control of the airship. 1t
needed but the slightest pressure on
the helm to change the direction of
the vessel and the Arrow responded
to every demand that | made upon it,"
Capt. Baldwin was exceedingly OPP
timistic regarding the future of his air
ship. and now says that he will not be
content to leave ST. Louis until he has
had several trials for the $1,000 Q
prize. He says he feels confident
that the ARROW" can make the re-
quired distance within the time limit.

His Gang Killed Many vigiantes.

record of the other products Of the
state at the st. Louis exposition.

"Doc" Middleton, former king of
Western horse and cattle thieves, the
other day, after an absence Of many
former stamping grounds now en-
braced in Gregory county, s. d. His
visit was for the purpose of acting as
one of the judges of the races given by
the Gregory County Fair association.
Middleton is known the world over
as one Of the most reckless of the
many daredevil outlaws who caused
early settlers of the West endless
trouble and expense by s%wooping down.
on the little settlements and 'homes
of pioneers and running off their cat
tie and horses. Middleton visited
Yankton for the last time in 1877.
He was forced to seek refuge here
by the Nebraska vigilantes, who, TAX
ing the law into their own hands, were
determined to rid the country of Mid
dleton and his brother desperadoes,
and nus bring peace and quiet to he
Dakota-Nebraska frontier. After stay
ing at Yankton for a brief period, Mid
dletOn was forced by the authorities
to leave. and travelled overland to
DeadWOod. from which point he made
raids which left murder and destruc-
ton in their wake.
While in Gregory county Middleton
varied his usual custom and talked
freely Of these early and exciting
days.
Il hated the vigilantes," he said.
"I hated them, and | did what any maA
would have done who was prosecuted
by them. We had to kill them to keep
alive. And we did. We organized
against them. and M gang was called
the 'HOOdoes.'"
"How many of the vigilantes did you
put aWay'?" he was asked.
well. we got rid of between fifty
n sixty. all told, l guess replied the
former outlaw. whenever we saw
one of them we killed him. You can
a that it must be an awful thing to
thing of having killed a man.
But when you kill him by rights it
gives you a feeling of pride"
why was it that you were after
them so hard?" was the next question
asked him.

Mrs. E. Doherty, of No. 115 Coates
street, Moberly, Mo-, is today a picture Of
robust health, and yet five years ago., she
barely escaped death from progressive
emaciation. To a reporter she told the
following story:
"In 1896 I began to have distressing
attacks of indigestion that continued for
two years. My stomach was constantly
sore and burned as if it was on fire. It
became finally SO delicate that it would
not retain even plain water. My inability
to take food reduced my weight to ninety-
eight pounds, and faintness and dizziness
kept me in bed most of the time i was
really starving to death and besides I was
extremely nervous. The doctor was
p~erplexed. He gave me tonics which
did me no good, and prescribed exercise
which I was too weak to attempt.
"One day when I was so faint and
chilled that I could do nothing but crouch
down on the floor by the fire, my father
brought me a box of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. ! found on trial
that they would stay on my stomach un-
like everything else. I really felt better
after three doses and I kept on using
them. Food began to taste we'll and TO
stay down. The pain and the burning
i'll the pit of my stomach lessened and at
last went away altogether. My weight
began to increase until it reached
1865 pounds and my neighbors, who
were convinced that I was wasting to
death before, were astonished at the
change. I resumed my homework aud
have hardly had occasion to call q doctor
since. I have recommended DR.. VIII.

VALUE OF AN EDUCATION.

How many boys and very often parents
realize what scnool days are worth in
dollars an cents, to say nothing of the
other advantages. As shown by ste.
tstlcs, the average educated man re-
ceives a salary Of 81 900 per year. He
works on an average Of 40 years aud re-
ceives total of SAC, 1000. The average
wages OF an uneducated man is 81 90
per day and he works 300 days in the
year. so IN forty years he earns SIS, 900.
The educated man gets $40 600 and the
uneducated $lS 900 and the 1922 900
difference is the true value of the educa-
ton. A good education requires about
IL years of boys life, or 2,l60 school
days, and they bring to the boy who
improves them S22 600, or little more
than $40 per day for each day spent in
school. Every day you miss school
charge yourself up with $40 and resolve
that you cannot afford to miss again.
