Balloons Liable to Many Accidents

ITO adventurous souls the great charm of ballooning
is its uncertainty. No one ever knows exactly
what is going to happen, for the gamu of casualties
that may occur is practically unlimited. Sometimes
a balloon loses its buoyancy just such extent
that it is whirled along little above the ground.
with the car and the unfortunate aeronauts banging
against stone walls, trees, houses and other Obsta
Cles Sometimes the escape valve fails to work
properly. The balloon mounts higher and higher.
and cannot be made to descend This situation
arises occasionally, and is always a serious one.
Sometimes the wind, which near the earth in
land from the sea, is only few hundred feet high,
and above this there is found another setting
in opposite direction toward the sea. Occasion
ally the balloon meets with some lofty obstruction,
such a tall chimney, tree, building, or some
thing of the kind. Again there is danger of
explosion.
The acronaut must be prepared to cope with all
these and many other casualties. Often error
of judgment, a moments hesitation, a lack of
grit may mean grave danger if not loss of life.
So the balloOnist is, perhaps, more than any other
sportsman, sure of some sort of adventure.
Some years ago Lieutenant Harris OF the British
navy made an ascension in a balloon fitted with
contrivance of his invention. The ascension
made under favorable circumstances, but after

portion of the balloon usually becomes caught i'll

parachute that the descent of the ripped or burst

of the real dangers of their work.
In fact, every balloon is provided with what IS

A yopng man who viii some day in

career cut out for me. II I were to lose

and study some phases Of it that inter-

Probably II the young nan were
actually thrown on his own resources
he would resort to something less en-
tirely elegant" and more useful. But,
that aside. what Is this career" that
he fancies he has "cut out" for him?
To take care of his property-that Is, to
spend his life at an occupation similar
to that of a Waterman o a policeman,
but far more mechanical and less ex-
citing. What a miserable, what a
melancholy conception of a career! To
spend ones life at Just making money
is poor enough use Of the one chance
to live; to spend it at watching a heap
of ~money-what dullness, what dreari-
ness! And In a world teeming with op-
portunities to live intensely, wildly, in

~Churchyard Novelty.

NA0ES~6~
In the ~churchyard of the little Mid
dlesex village Of Primer, England, there
stands a monument quite distinct from
all those which surround it. It consists
Of a tall. square pyramid overgrown
with ivy, through the middle Of which
projects a coffin made Of stone. This
monument was raised by a o to his
parents, William and Agnes Loudon,
as the inscriptions tell. They do not,
however. tell why he chose to have his
parents remains poised in mid air in
the stone shell instead of being buried
in the usual manner. This curious act
Is accounted for in a strange way.
It appears that his parents came into
some money which was to be theirs 80
long as their bodies were above the
ground" When they died, therefore, in
order that the money should not pass
into other hands their son buried"
them in this curious manner, and, de-
spite the apparent injustice, his object
was attained.

MAY BE
Homesteaders May Ac-
cept County, State or
Federal Office.

A homesteader will be excused from
residing upon the land covered by his
entry, if, after making his entry in good
faith and establishing his actual resi-
dence thereon to the exclusion Of a home
elsewhere, he is elected or appointed to
either a county, state or federal office
which requires him to reside away from
the land in order to discharge the bona
fde duties of such office, but he must
continue the necessary cultivation and
Improvements.
The foregoing is the substance Of a
circular letter just sent out by the COM
missioner of the general land office, and
is in answer to numerous queries which
have been received recently by the Off
Gals of local land offices in all parts of
the country.
The forthcoming elections have had
something to do with the anxiety of
homesteaders regarding the homestead
laws Especially is this true in this
state, where a number of homesteaders
have been mentioned for state and
county Offices.
According to the ruling of the COM
missioner, persons who may make entry
after they have been elected OF appoint
ed to office will be required to maintain
a residence, cultivation and improve
ments, as in other cases. The rules set
forth apply as we'll to contractors for
carrying the United States mails.

FRANK poNNELLY
Died In Sumner, WASH
Inston, April 10. Flu
neral Held In Bismarck
Tuesday.

Old timers in Dickinson and through.
out the state grieve to know of the death
of Frank Donnelly in Sumner. Wash.
last Friday.
Mr.. Donnelly came to Bismarck from
Ontario, Canada, in 1872, being one Of
the first settlers, Since that time he has
been prominent in its business, political
and social circles. He was several times
the efficient sheriff of Burleigh county
and held the position of deputy u. S.
marshal and was associated for some
time with Joseph Hare in the implement
business. He was a charter member of
the Odd Fellows lodge and a Mason of
high degree, having been eminent COM
mander of Tancred Commandery
Knights Templar.
Failing health led Mr.. Donnelly to
remove last fall to Sumner, Wash, car
rying with him the universal good will
and respect of all who knew him.
Mrs. Dan Manning, sister of the de-
ceased, has been with him several weeks
and, with Mrs. Donnelly, passed through
the city Monday, taking the body to
Bismarck, where Mayor Manning
awaited them. Gervaise Manning
joined his mother here.
The funeral was conducted in Bis
marck Tuesday under Masonic auspices
and was largely attended by Odd Eel
lows, Masons and friends.

The First Mu1s.


The early muffs were small and
made Of satin or velvet, lined with
fur. The leopard skin came in with
Queen Anne. There is a print Of an
Elizabethan lady with a small muff
hanging from her girdle. Before this
date it was probably looked upon as
an eccentric novelty, at least in Eng
land. A full century before a Venetian
grand dame had carried her lapdog in
her muf1, a fashion that continued for
a long cas- and found its way into
France. In Paris NUTS for this ex-
press purpose, chiens manchons, as
they were styled, could be bought in
1922 at the establishment Of the De-
moisellss Guerin, de Bac. French
sumptuary laws coudescended to mo-
tics such minor details AZ the color

to restrict himself to somber black.

windmills a. Newspapers.

In Holland births, marriages and
deaths, instead Of being recorded in
newspapers. are indicated by windmills.
When a miller gets married he stops
his mill with the arms Of the wheel in
a slanting position and with the sails
unfurled. His friends and guests fire.
quently do likewise with their mills, in
token Of the ceremony. To indicate a
birth the wheel is stopped with the
arms in a slanting position, but at a
more acute angle than for a marriage
and with the two upper sails unfurled.
Should a miller die the sails of his mill
are all furled, and the wheel is turned
round until the arms form an upright
cross, in which position they are left
until after the funeral has taken place.

Wild Flowers.

Yellowstone is truly one of the "seven
wonders" AS a place of grandeur and
scenery it is unsurpassed by the famous
Alps. Wild flowers abound there in
great profusion.
In order to furnish the public with a
souvenir within reach of all, the North
ern Pacific railway has prepared a
dainty publication, containing twelve
specimens of some of the most beauti-
full wild flowers within the Park, which
have been pressed and nicely mounted
in portfolio form.
This magnificent souvenir, which also
contains six full-page half-tone ~illustra-
tons, will be mailed prepaid upon re-

The Mole Has Eyes.

The majority Of people believe that
the mole is even cylinder than the
proverbial bat, but the naturalists
know that such is not the case. Sir
John Lubbock and Carl Hess, the latter
a noted German naturalist, by careful
investigation proved that the mole has
eyes which are as perfect as those Of a
horse or an elephant. They are very
small optics, to be sure (only MILL
meter in diameter), but in the matter
of reflection and r%efraction do not diff
fer from the normal eyes in larger ami
mails.

April IA. 1900.
The commissioners convened pursu-
ant to adjournment; present Walton and
Lee. IS
On motion a recess was taken to give
the commissioners an opportunity to
view location of proposed bridge at Bel
field, a petition having been duly filed
in the Office of the county auditor, signed
by J. w. Sellman ct al, requesting that
a bridge be built across the Heart river
on the section line between sections 4
and 5 in twp. 139 north range 90 west.
The commissioner of the I'd district,
Mr.. Geo. Lee, furnished the use of his
new automobile to convey the party to
Belfeld, where they arrived at 1890 a.
M, consisting of Commissioners Walton
and Lee, Surveyor ]. G. Saunders and
County Auditor J. S. White.
The commissioners, in company with
Messrs. O'Connor, Ramsland, Davis
Bros, King Bros, J. w. Sellman and
other interested in the proposed bridge,
viewed the crossing at the point men
toned and at ether points in the vicinity,
and it was the opinion Of all those pres
n that a better crossing and a less ex-
pensive bridge could be built at a point
inside the town site of Bel6eld.
Thereupon Mr.. Saunders cast his
eagle eye through the transit and figured
that it would require a 4o-foot bridge to
span the river at the point selected, to
be supported by 15-foot steel legs.
On the return of the commissioners to
the court house, the meeting was re-
sumed and on motion of Geo. w. Lee,
seconded by w. H. Walton, the auditor
was instructed to advertise for bids for
the construction of a steel bridge at Bel
field over the Heart river at the point
designated.
On motion Bait Connell was appointed
road overseer in road district No. II,
vice Ed. Koran resigned.
Moved by Geo. w. Lee and seconded
by w. H. Walton that the right of way
and over any public highway in the
county of Stark, running in a westerly
direction from the west boundary line
of the city of Dickinson to the western
boundary line of Stark county be and
the same is hereby granted to the Mis-
souri, Valley Telephone company to
place and erect poles and string wire
thereon for telephone purposes. Such
telephone poles to be placed on and
along such public highway not closer
than 80 feet from the center of such
highway. !.
Provided further, that such poles shall
be of sufficient strength and be so placed
in the earth as to be able with the
wires supported thereon to resist the
force of all ordinary storms; and that the
wire strung on said poles shall at no
place be at. a less distance from the
ground below than "a feet.
Provided further, that at all cross
roads or intersections by other roads of
the said road upon which said telephone
line shall be placed, the wire or wires
shall be so high or SO arranged that if
necessary an ordinary two-story farm
building may pass said line upon any
such cross road.
1t is further provided, that such line
shall be on only mi side of any road SO
used.
Motion prevailed.
On motion the board adjourned until
May IS, 1906, at which time bids for the
construction of Belield bridge will be
opened.
