The city and county delinquent tax
lists are found today on our sixth page.
Like most OF the counties in the state
they are quite small this year, good
Index OF the general prosperity which
affords plenty of money and paid up
bills. It's good thingi for the people
and bad thing for the printer, as the
smaller the list the smaller the fee. It
affords US some consolation though to
see list like that of Bru;e county.
The Kimball Graphic contains over
three fages, a little over nineteen
columns OF tax list descriptions. The
Graphic explains that this does not
mean that Brule county is on the
verge OF bankruptcy, but that they
are clearing up the out lying lots oil
Chamberlain that were exploited iu
boom days. We have an idea that the
| Graphic will make more money out OF
this matter than will Brule county.

VANDERBILT'S NEW AUTO.
II is Planned to Make so Miles an
Hour.


Mr.. Alfred c. Vanderbilt is having
constructed secretly an automobile
which he hopes will be the fastest ma
chine I'm the world He is an automO-
bile enthusiast and is determined with
the cid OF the wealth at his command 20
break the present record The ma
chine which he is having built is esti-
mated to be capable Of developing l5@
miles an hour with $50 horsepower.
Such speed is the equivalent Of 21S feet
for every clock tick; IL means a mile
in % 2-5 seconds The present mile
record is 80 As seconds made by II. l..
Bowden. at Ormond Beach, Fla, last
February
Should Mr. Vanderbilt be able TO at
tain such extraordinary speed with this
automobile It will mean that Il will go
faster than anything in the world
heretofore. The best time ever made
on a railroad was a mile i'm 30 seconds;
this was on the Plant System on a run
from Fleming to Jacksonville. Florida,
when five miles were covered at the
rate OF 120 miles per hour. Not only
will It go faster than the speed ma
chimes OF to-day but the new automo-
bile flyer promises to carry its driver
faster than man has ever Travelled be-
fore in the world In fact It is stated
that even few birds could fly at such q
pace.

A HOLLAND 4IRSHIP.
Inventor of Sub-Mariue Boat -
Working on One that Will FLY.

The report comes from New York
that John p. Holland, the inventor of
the submarine boat, is about to give
to the public an invention of n flying
machine said to be of as perfect n
construction as the submarine bearing
his name. Mr.. Holland has been work
ing on flying machines for nearly
twelve years, during which time four
models have been constructed and de-
stroyed on account of their imperfec-
tions. He is now working on the fifth
model. which he believes will be made
to fly. This latter model weighs only
thirty pounds. 1t is arranged to be
| strapped to the back Of the person de-
| string to soar in the air. There will
be two vertical arms crossing at right
angles with the axis and two pairs OF
| wings; these are to vibrate in oppo-
site directions. One pair of wings will
be placed at the back of the head and
the other pair near the waist. They
are of light steel construction, weigh
ing about pound each. In speaking
OF his invention. Mr.. Holland said:
Any man who walks three miles an
hour can easily fly the same distance
in ten minutes with my invention and
| do not consider that statement an
| exaggeration.
Il have taken birds as my pattern.
| With this machine men will be able
to fly on the same principle as a bird
hys. II a cog breaks or something
else goes wrong, or If he becomes ex-
hausted and the propelling ceases,
there will be no danger, for he will be
able to descend gently TO the earth and
| land easily upon his feet"
Mr.. Holland discounts the course
taken by n number of flying machine
experts who use n combination of bal
loon and aeroplane. This form, he be-
lieves, will never become practical for
aerial navigation because he considers
the gas bag offers too much resistance
to the air, and, On the other hand, be-
lieves that flying machines and the
aeroplane idea-the latter of the Lang
| ley class-will be the real means OF
navigation OF the air in the future. He
| expressed his belief that with the new
Holland airship he will be able to fly
from New York TO Washington to at
tend the next presidential inaugural
| tion and get back home the same
night. Ii is his intention TO make eX-
periments with his machine next
spring.

Mrs. Henderson's vegetarian dinners
have always been a feature OF her
social program during the winter. The
only plea against them is that diners
seriously object to being defrauded,
even il ever so skilfully, into believing
they are eating meat. patties and GRO
quotes. when, in fact, they are eating
lust vegetables"
This particular dinner in honor of
delegates to the food congress was
voted a distinct success. Those who
were included in Mrs. Henderson's in
vitations declared that had they not
known the exact character of
the dinner TO which they sat down they
would have been convinced that vari-
Gus dishes were the result of the study
and ingenuity of Mrs. Henderson $
famous chef who had utilized meat in
a strange but most alluring manner.
Mrs. Henderson was formerly Miss
Mary n. Foote. of New York, and is
one of the most democratic and popu-
ar hoStesses in Washington.

Facts AbOut Henry Hudson.

Why should an Englishman vro re
ceived by baptism the name OF Henry
be dubbed Hendrix? For more than
half a century Americans have been
writing and saying Hendrix Hudson"
This habit, without legitimate foun-
dation, has been emphasized afresh re-
Gently in the Hendrix Hudson Me-
mortal Bridge" and the Hendrix Hud-
son INTERMEDIARY Committee" The
only excuse that can be offered for US
ing the Dutch equivalent is that Henry
Hudson sailed under Dutch auspices on
one of his four voyages of discovery.
The Netherlands themselves knew him
only as Henry" Hudson.
In 1859 Henry G. Murphy, while at
The Hague examining the old Dutch
records for data referring to Hudson,
found in the royal archives a Dutch
copy of Hudson's contract with the di-
rectoTs of the East India Company. The
document was appended TO a manu-
script history of the company, pre-
pared at its request by p. van Dam,
the counsel Of the company from 1862
