Mr.. Parker, democratic nominee for president, has
never jouneyed west of Buffalo, N. Y What does
he know Of the great west its people, their achieve
ments, their possibilities, their needs? How can he
reconcile the demands Of the different sections, and
decide great questions properly and for the good of
the whole country! Of limited experience, mar

much entitled to the place, as any

ing business for over fifty years, hav-
ing been employed by such firms as
VIM. Peters, N. Il. Bradley and the

OF the most prominent lumbermen

naturally has made him more or less
familiar with every acre Of public
land in the state. lie is an old vet

distinction having enlisted In 1851 as
a private in the Sd Mich. Cavalry at
the age of Is. He was promoted to a
major and commanded the regiment
at the age Of 2l, and that, too without
family influence or political push

New Flying Machine.

Papers throughout the state are
devoting considerable space to the
new hting machine invented by w.
G. Freeman Of Kalkaska. Mr.. Free
man is quite well known here, being
the father OF Mrs. S. E. Landrum.
The Kalkaskian Of recent date has
the following concerning the inven-
tion:
One of the busiest men in Kakaska
is w. G. Freeman who Is wOl king
hard TO complete the flying machine,
Of which he is the inventor. As this
machine has been entered for the
Worlds Fair exhibit, the time for its
completion is limited. At the present
rate Of progress the public are assured
that il will be on hand at the speci-
fed time.
The inventor has pondered long
upon the problem of air navigation.
The present machine is the result
of nearly fifty years of thoughtful in
vestigatiOn. A mechanic by natural
gifts, supplemented by close applica-
tion TO practice and theory, Mr..
Freeman is wei qualified to solve the
difficult problem he has attempted,
While it would be premature to de-
ccribe fully the invention, the owner
confidently expresses himself that it
will be a success, and hopes to capture
the prize offered by the promoters Of
the Worlds Fair; prize, by the way,
larger than others offered for the
products of skill and ingenuity. 1t is
TO be hoped that our respected tow ns-
man may have the honor to carry
home the reward. 1t would not only
make famous an industrious man but
would give the little town among the
Jack Pines world wide name.
In attempting TO solve the problem
of navigation in the air, Mr.. Freeman
has discarded the balloon idea and
seeks in aviation the success Of his
venture. To do this the inventor Of
the Kalkaska machine has followed

guiding principle. The chief difficult
ties Of weight and continuous motive
power have been overcome by unique
methods Of construction and machin-
cry entirely new. Along these lines
It'll expected that the new machine
will take precedence OF others.
The flying machine is but yet in the
experimental stage of construction.
Some Of the difficulties which have
been thought unSurmountable arc
now disappearing under the progress
Of scientific research.
Many minds are constantly at work
upon the problem and it would not be
surprising that some one should sue

DYNAMITE WRECKS CHURCH
Fwenty-three Persons Hurt in Panic
at Blackburn, Ind.
CONGREGATION TRAMPLED UPON

Explosive Placed Under Front Part of
Church of Evening Light Lifts Edifce
From Its Foundation - Crowd Inside
surges About Door, Which Cannot BE
Opened, and Dashes Through Windows
Indianapolis, Ind.-Twenty-three per-
SON. were hurt in a panic in the Church
of the Evening Light at Blackburn, d
small mining town in Pike County.
The panic resulted from an attempt to
blow up the church while a religious
meeting was going on and it was we'll
filled with worshipers, many of them
being women and children.
Shortly after the services began there
was a loud explosion under the build
ing and the stove and several seats
were turned over and the windows
were shattered. The building rocked
on its foundation, and the front end
was partly torn out. There was a
mad rush for the door. The noise of
the explosion was heard for q long
distance.
There was fire in the stove. and when
it turned over the building was threat
ened with destruction. The explosion
had caused the front end of the build
ing to settle and the door could not be
opened. Men tugged at it and the
crowd in the rear pressed harder and
harder. Finding that the door would
not yield the people dashed through the
windows.
People We're pushed down and
trampled upon in the rush, and two
little girls were nearly killed, but were
rescued by n of the men, who stood
over them and knocked right and left
with his fists and thus divided the
crowd in its rush to the windows.
When the excitement had subsidized
it was found that many of the congre-
cation had received injuries, ranging
from broken limbs to serious cuts from
glass by jumping through the win
dOWS.
Al investigation showed that the eX-
plosive was placed under the front of
the church by removing a part of the
brick foundation. The charge was
heavy and tore a hole in the ground
under the church and lifted the front
end of the structure from it's founda-
ton.
The Evening Lights are a denomina-
ton that believe in living obscure lives.
They eat only the coarsest food and
shun jewelry and all luxuries of life,
believing that to indulge in them is a
sin. They take the Bible in it's literal
meaning and have no ritual in their
church. They came to Pike County
several years ago from Kentucky. Two
young men started a church at Orwell
and built up a large congregation. Ev-
cry man in the church is a leader and
both men and women are supposed to
take an active part in all services.

Pears are more tasty than apples,

Prunes have medicinal qualities which
cannot be denied, says the Chicago

RICH MAN MURDERS WIFE
Mad From Drink He Shoots Her and
Then Defies Sheriff.
Tragedy in a Prominent Family of Clarke
County, Va.-Mu rderer Threatens
to Commit Suicide.

Winchester, Va.-Raving in the Jail
in Berryville, but keenly conscious Of
the fact he had murdered his wife
without the slightest provocation,
Joseph H. COpenhaver is being closely
watched in the fear he may attempt
suicide. After shooting her in the back
in a drunken rage he had barricaded
himself in his home and, armed with
rifles and revolvers, defied a sheriff and
posse for hours.
MI. Copenhaver is wealthy, and one
of the most prominent citizens of
Clarke County, and always has been
considered kindly disposed. He gave
to charity and was first in any little
public movement where his services
were needed in a good cause.
The tragedy took place at the hand
some Copenhaver home, five miles
from here, and followed a prolonged
debauch.
Several weeks ago the man began to
drink heavily and, despite his wife's
protests, kept it up day and night, stop
ping only to sleep. His sister Mary,

to dissuade him from excuses that
amazed and shocked his neighbors.
One morning he awoke late and
swore at his wife for not having break
fast ready, when it had been waiting
for an hour. After eating and drink
ing and getting uglier every minute. he
became so dangerous his wife went
into the yard, believing he would be
all right soon. Picking up one of the
handsome revolvers he kept for bur-
glars, he followed stealthily, and shot
her in the back. Miss Copenhaver and
a hired nan saw the deed. The hired
man fled, but she tenderly carried her
sister-in-law into the house and did
what she could, but death followed in
a few minutes.
Copenhaver, who had assisted in try
ing to restore his wife. then went to
his room, taking revolvers and repeat
ing rifles with him. He barricaded the
door and threatened to kill any one
who approached it except his sister.
He refused to fire at his sister. Sheriff
Smallwood and Sergeant Taylor sur
rounded the house with their men, but
dared not approach it. Miss Copen-
haver pleaded with her brother to come
out, but he refused. He would stay
there, he said, as long as the whisky
and ammunition lasted. Finally, after
six or eight hours of this, the man was
overcome by drink and fell asleep,
when he was easily taken.
When taken to Jail the nan seemed
to grow mad with remorse, and said
he would kill himself, as his wife had
always been good to him and he did
not know why he killed her.
