Airship Makes Successful
Trip over New York.

New York. August 23- For
fifty minutes to-day hundreds OF
thousands Of New Yorkers witnessed
the most wonderful and thrilling
sight that century has afforded to
the Western world.
A. Roy Knabenshue, the intrepid
Joung Western aeronant, made the
first official successful ascent and
flight over the city in his alrship,
following his preliminary test on
Sunday.
The ascent wac made at exactly
2:lO o'clock. The airship rose to a
maximum height about 5000 feet.
II scared with the lightness Of bird
and the steadiness Of canoe on the
placid waters OF an inland lake. Il
sailed with and against a strong
wind. responding perfectly to every
movement Of its big, rectangular
rudder.
Across town and down town the
fearless young pilot sent it, while
seemingly every able bodied man,
woman and child in New York
watched his every movement. He
went as far south as twenty third
street, where finding the wind too
strong TO encircle the Flatifon
building he turned and sailed back,
landing on the South6eld in Central
Park, amidst the cheers Of $4,000
people. Scores caught him there
and carried him on their shoulders
IN triumph, while hundreds fought
for the privilege Of bearing aloft the
machine to the tented enclosure at
Sixty-second street and Central
Park West, where the start was
made. The landing was effected
at exactly 3 o'clock.
After the voyage Knabensbue
said Everything went as smooth
" as il I were making q voyage on
. quiet ocean. The ship was at all
times under perfect control, and L
had . most delightful trip 5000 feet
above New York.

The legislature has really adjourned
and dispersed, and the unassigned gov
ernor is out of the state earning" money
at the rate of 5000 day "to support his
family" as he says. Now that we can
stand endwise with the session and look
at it from start to finish, the truth of the
Registers statement two weeks ago that
the best possible thing which could be
done by the legislature would be to re-
peal every enactment Of the session and
then go home, is more apparent than
ever. In fact. If every measure which
mas become a law the last three sessions
could be wiped out the state would be
far better off and the chance that Wis
consin could maintain its position as the
most prosperous and substantial bust
ness state in the west would be restored.
Too much monkeying with existing con-
ditions is worse than poison. What the
people want is an untrammeled chance
deal with each other on a rational bust
ness basis, without the obstruction of
meddlesome laws. "Poor Kansas" had
to learn the truth by bitter experience
and poor Wisconsin will have to learn it
in the same Whitewater Register.

Hicks july Weather.

The weather bill for July as outlined
by Rev. Irl Hicks has US enter the month
in a regular storm PERIOD central on the
End and extending to the 9th. A wave
of extreme summer warmth will reach u
crisis and pass entirely across the coun-
try. In general way, sections which
were having an excess of rains and
storms the latter part of June, may ex-
pect much the same state of things at
the July storm periods; while sections
which were experiencing dry, hot wealth
er may reasonably count on a marked
degree of hot and drouthy weather. At
the reactionary storm period central on
the 7th, 9Th and 9th, there is great prob
ability that we will enter upon period
of prolonged disturbance. This is indi-
Gated by the extended Vulcan brace,
blended with those of Mercury and
Mars in the storm diagram. After the
storms on the 7th, 9Th and 9th, change
to cooler, fair weather may result, but
the chances are good that continued
cloudy and threatening conditions will
prevail until we enter upon the regular
Vulcan storm period which is central
on the 14th. On and touching the Goth,
21st and 22d reactionary storm forces
very high temperature, falling barome-
ter and return Of threatening weather
and storms. The Vulcan storm period,
central on the 25th, covers the 23d to the
9th. The temperature will rise to an
other climax of warmth during the first
days of this period, the barometer will
fall at the same time, all eliminating in
threatening storms and gusts on and
touching the 25th, 26th and 9th. Many
of these July periods will bring violent,
local hail storms to many sections in the
middle to northwestern states. July
will come to it's close with excessively
high temperature, or marked warm
wave spreading from western to eastern
parts of the country. The second new
moon for the month falls on the 31st,
being within few days only of the GEN.
ter of the Venus disturbance. The per-
iods in July in which seismic and earth.
quake disturbances are more likely to
transpire are from the 1st to the 4th
from the 10th to the 18th, and on and
touching the 31st.

THE state dairy and food commission,
under the direction of Commissioner
Emery and Assistant Commissioner
Moore. is doing some effective work.
Out of nineteen prosecutions brought
during the past few weeks for violations
of the pure food laws, just nineteen con-
victions have been secured. This is the
sort of record that strikes terror to the
hearts of the purveyors of impure foods
and has tendency to point out the
virtue of the square deal as a business
proposition. The list of violations in
cluded the delivery of adulterated milk
to factories; selling adulterated milk to
cities; use of personalities, selling adul-
terated lemon extract and adulterated
cream of tartar. There is fertile field
of operation for the commissioners in
many sections of tie state.

on his run Feb. 16, and has since been
tack was heart trouble, and it was fol-
lowed by inflammation of the lungs and
general breakdown. His first work
was as brakeman in September, 1852, the
road at that time running only to Wau

tor in 1854, and year later became pas

Prairie du CHEN division, until his last
Illness. Mr. Prescott was a native of
New Hampshire and was born at Nashua

member of the Knights Templars. He
is survived by his widow and two sisters.
Their only child, son, Charles Prescott,

"clear record placed after Conductor
Prescott's name, the company means
that he never had a serious accident;
never had trouble with passengers
amounting to natter of investigation
or discipline, and lat he was never in
default or sericU error in his dealings
with the company, covering many thous-
ands of dollars, particularly during the
early years of railroading, when many
people boarded train and paid their
fares to conductors instead of purchas-
ing tickets. "Mr. Prescott was a man
who was never known to speak harshly
of any one" declared an official of the
road. eff he was unable to speak kind
ly of a man or fellow employe, he said
nothing. He was always just in his
treatment of the public and in his action
toward the company, and his "clear rec
ord" means remarkable record of serv-
ice. because of his long years on the road
without reprimand or investigation or
real trouble of any kind. It is doubtful
if there is another such record on the
system, considering the service of fifty
three years."

FAIR TREATMENT FOR KELLY.

Notwithstanding the inference that
might be drawn from Mr.. Stubbs' state
ment that eff Kelly will give him fair
treatment Kelly will get fair treatment
in the treasury investigation the state
of Kansas desires that Kelly be given
fair treatment no matter how he treats
Mr.. Stubs. It can hardly be expected
that a man like Kelly will treat any
one fairly who opposes his stealings,
but nevertheless the people of Kansas
will give Kelly a fair deal-no more
and no less.
Heretofore Kansas has been far
more than fair with Kelly. 1t has
given him every advantage possible.
1t elected him state treasurer in the
face of his stealings in Miami county
and the fact that he was compelled to
pay back over $1,000 while he was
running for the state office. 1t was
far more than fair with him when it
reelected him treasurer in the face
of the thousands of dollars of short
ages in the treasury and in the face
of Kelly's action in loaning the state
money to finance the notorious Co
manche county bond deal. The state
has been more than fair with him all
along.
In view of the facts in the case
Kelly could not complain of unfair
treatment were he arrested for his
thefts. Any other thief would have
been arrested and punished long ago.
but Kelly has been treated so much
more than fairly that he has not only
escaped punishment, but he has been
left in the state treasury where he
could continue his populations and
cover up his tracks wherever possible
From Mr.. Stubs statement one
would naturally infer that if Kelly
treated Stubs unfairly. Kelly would
be treated unfairly in the investiga-
ton. The state would not stand for
that-neither will it stand for a white
wash. What it desires from Account
ant Morris is the facts. The relations
between Kelly and Stubs do not enter
into the matter at all, so far as the
people of the state are concerned.
