tract of irrigable land. Mr.. Fet-

were now raising the third crop
of alfalfa for the year on new
land, something he did not be-
lieve possible. He said he saw
water melons raised there which
were too large for a man to lift
and saw a pumpkin which weigh
ed 1861 pounas and a stalk of
corn 81 feet high. These show
up pretty well for a new coun-
try.

Big Fire at orOfinO.

A fire which started in the
Noble hotel at Orofno about 8
O'Clock this morning destroyed
the entire town except for two
buildings. The town had no
water system and could not
check the flames. The loss is
estimated at $75,O and many
people are left destitute. The
fire is supposed to have been of
incendiary origin and the pro-
prietor of the hotel is under ar
rest. A quantity of supplies has
been sent from Lewiston to re-
lieve the condition of the fire
sufferers. None of the asylum
buildings were hurt by the
flames.

YOUR FRIENDS.
Business Men Who Took an Interest
in the Union Labor Fair.
Carpenters

Union men, even if they didn't have
enterprise enough to stand by the
labor fair and make it success
should al least recognize the good
will manifested by the enterprising
merchants who made displays and
give their patronage to those mer-
chants. The Lincoln Clothing Co., the
Lincoln Milling Co.. Mayer Bros. the
Lincoln Gas Co. the Lincoln Tele-
phone Co, Speier & Simon, the Ne
braska Telephone Co., the A. d. Ben
way Co., the Armstrong Clothing Co.,
Sandersou and Miller & Paine all took
an interest and performed more than
their share. Let union men and wo-

NO HOPE OF A COMPROMISE
British Education Bill Practical,
Dead


When the house of lords rose De-
cember 4. having concluded the debate
on the report stage of the education
bill, all hopes of a compromise ap-
peared to be lost and the opinion pre-
vailed at least among the members of
the opposition that the government
would drop the present bill and intro
duce another at the next session of
parliament. No important conces-
sions have been made by the opposi-
ton peers, but on the contrary an
amendment TO clause four, which pro-
vides that the local education author
lily may afford extended facilities for
special religious instruction was car
ried by 131 votes to As on motion
made by Lord Lansdowne. This
amendment, in the words of the Mar
quis of Ripon, lord of the privy seal.
introduced a vital and extreme change,
to which it was absolutely impossible
for the government to accede, and the
Bishop of Hereford. the only consist
ent supporter of the government
among the bishops described it as a
wrecking amendment which would not
be looked at by the house of commons
The matter is SO complicated that it
is difficult Of explanation, but the
practical effect of Lord Lansdowne' S
amendment would be to increase the
advantages thai clause four offers to
those who desire UNCONVENTIONAL edu-

Traction Company Raises Wages to
Prevent Men from Organizing.

The Lincoln Traction Co. worked"
a lot OF it's motormen and conductors
Il week or two ago. Finding out that
the men were thinking very seriously
OF organizing, the Traction company
quietly put stop to the agitation by
raising wages from one-half to one
cent an hour, and this so tickled lot
OF the men that they Immediately be-
gan knocking on organization. The
increase in wage for these morgan
lied men brings the rate of the best
paid men almost up to the limit of the
lowest paid man in Omaha, where the
men are organized.
A lot of unionists who know what
unionism means are convinced that
the unionism that is content with a
raise of one-half cent an hour on wages
= that are ridiculously small is hardly
of the kind to last under adverse con-
ditions.

This happened to a young man
whom l had employed to assist me
in making certain experiments with
aeroplanes. His name was Leblanc.
During our experiments. a circus
came to the town in which they
were being carried on; and Leblanc,
who was a clever acrobat, made ar
rangements with the circus people to
give a mid-air trapeze performance.
The trapeze upon which this acrobatic
performance was to be given was at
tached to a small captive balloon. a
captive balloon is one which is at
tached to the earth by a rope, 50 that
it cannot escape, and can be recov-
cred at will by simply hauling in on
the rope. The ascension was made
in fine style, Leblanc sitting calmly
on his slender trapeze, waving his
hand at the shouting crowd below.
The circus tents had been pitched
on the outskirts of the town, and

know his business, which is technically difficult;
he must be man of good physique, strong and
active. He must have a cool head, determined
will, and lots of what is commonly known as nerve

the discovery.
Fortunately the wind was light,
but the balloon with Leblanc clinging
to it was carried rapidly over toward
the town. Its course lay directly for
one Of the large brick chimneys to
which l have referred. AS it drifted
closer and closer to this structure
we watched it with spellbound eyes.
Ny own fear was that, in passing close
above the chimneys, the heat would
cause such expansion that the balloon
would burst and the aerOnaut be
dashed to the ground. And this
would have happened but for one OF
those strange vagaries OF the wind
which so often occur. When within
thirty or forty yards of the structure,
the wind made sudden swoop down

was lower than the top of the CHM

having reached helght OF over tour
thousand feet, Harris's invention,
which was in the form of an extra
large valve, was found to be beyond
control The gas could not be let out
of the balloon, and in the higher and
more raretied air the gas expanded,
until at length the big silk bag, dis
tended beyond its resistance, burst
with a loud explosion. The daring
acronaut and his companion, who
was a woman, were precipitated to
the earth with frightful rapidity. The
wicker basket struck the ground with
a loud crash and, rebounding, threw
Harris to one side, his companion to
the other. The man was killed in

for life.
