AIRSHIP IN LIMBO"
Employe of A. J. Bodkins Carnival
Troupe, Which Has Been Showing at
Clinton, Files Claim for Wages Due
Him, While Aeronaut Was Making
Ascension in Balloon.

Special to Times Republican.
Clinton, July 9.-"Columbia, the Gem
of the Skies" as a huge airship that
has been used here by the A. j. Bod
kins carnival troupe, is fancifully call
ed, was placed in limbo" by con-
stable of this city, who attached the
air-boat after Robert Burns had filed
a claim for $50 alleged to be due him
for wages from the troupe. The air
ship was operated by man who claims
to have been an associate of Santos
Dumont 1t is SO feet in length, and Is
operated by small gasoline engine,
used to run the propeller and rudder.
1t was claimed by the troupe that the
ship was a success, and could be guild
ed thru the blue ether at the will of
the navigator. But the crowds were
disappointed, for the aeronaut an
nounced that the machinery was de-
fectiye, and he would be obliged to
make the ascension without the en-
CINE. Accordingly the engine was tax
en- out, and the huge balloon assembled
high in the air before it was caught by
westerly current and carried to Low
Moor, about ten miles distant, where
the aeronaut, Captain Matterly, landed
in safety. While the balloon was in
the air, Burns, who declares he found
it impossible to collect his wages,
sought out the office of a local justice
of the peace, and set the wheels of JUS
tice going. The air-ship was seized by
Constable Parker and stored in va
cant building, where it remained I'M
til Attorney Sterling of Chicago, came
out and arranged for the immediate
settlement of Burns claim. The COM
pany left the city Sunday with their
airship.

A Queens Views of Life.

One is never really weary of life;
one is only tired of oneself.
The longer one lives the more one
breads lest heaven Itself should prove
in the end to be but the last and worst
OF our receptions.
A maiden's heart is like green corn
field that lies hidden away under snow
forgiveness is almost Indifference;
love never forgives.
The jealousy of lover is homage;
that of husband is an insult.
When hope abandons us she sets
forth to dig our grave.
Joy is life seen thru a sunbeam.
It Is always easy to others to discov-
er reasons for contentment with our lot
which we had not found out for our
selves.
Happiness is like the echo; it an
swers, but never draws nigh
Cleverness is the thought of an in
dividual; wisdom is the collective
thought of humanity.
Great thinkers and lofty mountains
raise those who contemplate them in
their own esteem.

words what the council desires to do
is to eat the sweet part of the apple
and leave the sour.
Penalty by Ordinance Lighter.
Again the penalty for violating the
mulct law Is greater than that could
be imposed by that of city ordinance
and the supreme court on this feature
of cases said: 1--WE cannot presume
that the state is not fully competent
to enforce its criminal laws If so, il
does not need the aid of municipal or
dinances. On the other hand. the
attempt of the city to take jurisdiction
of criminal offenses and punish by
different penalties from those adopted
by the state, might easily have the eff
feet to impair the administration of
Justice"

month for Boston, where the twenty
second annual convention of the Assoc
citation of Officers of Bureaus of Labor
of States will be held. Commissioner
Brigham, as vice president. presided at
the convention at San Francisco last
year a considerable part of the time.
The sessions this year will be held in
the senate chamber of the state house
at Boston. One of the most Important
matters to come up will be the report
of the committee on a uniform system
of reports, so that the reports of the
various states can be compared.
The electric light plant at the state
house is shut down for repairs, and the
gas fixtures, where they remain in the
building, are being put to good service.
The fact that electric light plants
fail is impressing on the
executive council the necessity for
keeping both systems of light in the
building.

OUR strenuous President perhaps
thinks suggestions from the COM
mon people are out of place, If
not a sort of lese majestic, when ad-
dressed to him. He said recently
to a delegation OF workingmen
calling at the White House:
"You hamper me in the effort to
get for you what I think you ought
to have in connection with the
eight hour law when you make a
request that is indefensible."
That has the right ring! 1t re-
minds me of the well-established
and time-endorsed way OF the
rulers of the old world. How car
the people know what is best fol
themselves? They must let the
king or emperor think for them
Judge for them, and provide fol
them the things necessary to thei1
welfare and happiness. There
must be no hampering of thu
divine will-no butting in by thu
crude and unskilled, whose re-
quests, by every rule of estab
lished government, are too Otter
ssindefensible" from the birds-eye
viewpoint of their superiors.
