The Wright Brothers Of Dayton,
whose partially successful expert.
ments with aeroplanes have been
chronicled from time to time, made a
statement to the Aero Club OF this
city, which seems to indicate that the
problem of flying" has been at last
solved, says the New York World.
The public has known that Orville
and Wilbur Wright sold the rights of
what appeared to be a practicable air
ship TO the French government, but
the practice flights have been held In
private and no full statement OF the
success of the machine has been made
until now. The communication says
that in 1905 the Wright aeroplane,
propelled by a gasolene engine and
carrying man, made a half dozen
successful flights, varying in length
from ten TO twenty-five miles. In their
statement the inventors say:
Though America. through the la.
bors of Prof. Langley, Mr.. Chanute
and others. had acquired not less than
ten years ago the recognized leader.

great pleasure, therefore. that we now
find ourselves able to make report
of such society.
Previous to the year 1905, we had

the years 1900, 1901, 1902 and 1903;
and with n man-carrying motor flyer,
which, on the 18th day OF December,
1903, sustained itself in the air for
SO seconds advancing against a

circle made for the first time Of three
miles, each made on the 9th of No.
vember and the 1st of December, re-
spectively, were the more notable per.
formances.
THE object Of the 1905 experiments
was to determine the cause and dis.
cover remedies for several obscure
and somewhat rare difficulties which
had been encountered In some of the
1904 flights and which 1t was neces.

WHAT big thing the small hand of boy can

to Columbus Christmas Eve, 1892. Most historians
are merely say that 'whle coasting along
north shore of the island that is known today
Santo Domingo the admirals flagship, the Santa Maria,

into DETAIL however, show that the wreck with the found

garrison between that time and the of Columbus
his second voyage all the result Of responsibilities
thrust into chlds hand utterly incapable of grasping
them.
Admrals have to sleep, of course but when Columbus
his cabin that Hateful Christmas Eve he left
the wheel in charge of who deserted his post
the admiral's back turned, and gave the
wheel into the charge of small boy-a sample of the
kind of actions which make clear why after once dis
covering the world, Columbus continually pur

1t was an uncharted sea, and the most skilful
mariners continually bewildered by variations of
their primitive that the greatest should
have been taken in navigating the tub Of boat, with
only the most competent and resourceful men at the
Wheel So it is hardly to be wondered at that boy,
probably nothing than cabinboy failed to under
stand the danger he running upon tho he kept
the marked out for him. Before the startled
could do anything, the ship hopelessy fast upon
sandbar and all they could do to much Of
the stores possible.
No today knows this boys History makes
other mention of him. But how do you suppose he
felt? What do you suppose done to him?

Supplies of cattle last week were

satisfactory, and the market on de-

vanced fully quarter for the week.
However, the run has been some
heavier this week, and the quality
as rule rather common, trading has
been slow and values 10 to 15c lower
for the two days this week. Tops

The good to choice steers, such as are
coming now, are selling at $500 to

butcher stock market has also fol-

While the run of stockers and feed

inquiry and prices showed an advance
of 10 to 15c for the week. Condi-

quarter over one week ago. There
is very strong feeling at present, be-
