ture success. While I have not per-
sonally seen It. yet can readily see
how such rudders may be worked
adyantageously in controlling the
machine.
Flying machines are simply com-
Ing into vogue now as they did many
years ago. II is the same old story
OF evolution. only we OF this age are
making greater progress. Years and
years ago people were experimenting
with all sorts OF devices. but many
of them sacrificed their lives in at
tempting to fly. so II died out. This
present age, however. is one that
does not admit defeat and the people
are struggling along accomplishing
something all the time. They have
the advantage OF more knowledge
CLEANED from scientists and this they
can turn to great advantage.
The outlook for aerial navigation
Is growing brighter every day. Just
what IL will eventually amount TO IL
problematical now However. the
hardest part OF the difficulty has been
overcome. that of really dying. and
proving to the world that II Is a
reality. The next stage is the study
Ing out OF the problem OF weight that
can be carried. III the Wright broth
ers are able TO navigate the air. with
their structure bearing nearly ton.
II seems that a greater weight can
be carried
The carrying OF fuel and supplies
will have to be solved. Tlmidity on
the part OF people might mllitiate
against universal use OF flying ma
chimes. OF course. II will have TO be
proven conclusively that they are
safe and practicable before people
will risk their lives In them. This
will taken n lot of time. do not
look for the establishment of an
aerial navigation line across the
country, or from here to Europe, In
year or two. But then again
neither did the people half a CEN
tury ago look for many of the things
we now have in common use. For
all that. would not be surprised to
see machines flying through space
propelled by engines and steered at
the will OF the driver and going at
a good clip too, all within a few years
What Prof. Langley accomplished In
1895 and what the Wright brothers
and santos-Dumont have succeeded
In doing this year can be improved
upon next year and the year after
until the aerial motor car viii be In
as general use as the ordinary auto
mobile is at present.

tBy Alexander Graham Beu.)

(By Alexander Graham Bell.)
Ten years ago | was given per-
feet realization of tho feasibility OF
the flying machine. At that time
Prof. Langley has constructed his
first aeroplane and | was allowed to
see II In operation. He had steam
engine in It and II few about from
one place to another, and | manged
to get a photograph OF II. On two
different occasions he was success
full with It. That demonstrated that
he was on the right track, having
steam propelled airshlp,
Later on he continued his studies.
and the public through the newspa-
pers may be blamed for what hap
pened. The writer's camped on his
trail, and he was unable TO make a
move without II being known. He
was sensitive man. and all this
Jared upon him. Because his ma
chine did not do wonders. when in
fact slight mishap disabled II. he
was held up to ridicule. and there Is
no doubt In my mind that II fastened
his end He died broken hearted
when he might have been successful
had he been left alone to perfect his
machine.
The incentive seems to be greater
on the other side of the water, They
take to II more over there. and big
rewards for successful flying ma
chine. over here the country Is
more matter of fact. and after the
machine is perfected It Will be given
approval. IL Is this sort of thing
that sometimes retards the develop
ment OF scientific inventions. All
inventors are not wealthy, and their
experiments are sometimes carried
on ct a cost OF lots OF time and what
little money they have. and some
times the needful things are not
available because of lack OF funds.
No doubt Santos-Dumont could
have done better had there been no
great crowds present when he made
his ascent. The people are not edu-
Gated to the fact that a flylng ma
chine is something heavy and sub
stantial, and were one 10 hit you II
would kill or seriously inJure you.
But the people regard them In the
light OF balloons. and so jeopardize
their liver by crowding about, pre-
venting a man from picking out a suit
able landing place. OF course Santos
Dumont Is a victim of his own cir
cumstances, for had he not iet It be
generally known what he was goine
to do would have been much differ
ent, and his success would have been
more pronounced.
The fact that the Wright brothers
have been able to fly with machine
that weighs 1895 pounds proves con-
cluslvely that the first stage has
been passed. Their engines alone
weighs more than 200 pounds and
their car embodies q great many
principles which are in the line OF
progress. The fiexibiIity Of the rud'
ders in front and rear Is something
that seems TO augur well for ths fp'

Serious Runaway Accident.

A runaway which almost proved
fatal to Mrs. Geo. Fox and Mrs. H.
o. Johnson occurred last Friday night
about 80 on their way home from
attendance at the Chautauqua. They
were riding in two-seated rig and
just after passing over the race bridge
leading TO the West side, tug be-
came unhitched, the whitfletIee slip
ped back into the wheel, breaking
several spokes, and the noise fright
ened the team causing them to break
into run. The ladies seeing their
danger became frightened and both
jumped before the horses reached the
big bridge. Witnesses of the accident
Immediately went to their assistance,
summoned physicians and carried the
ladies into nearby residence where
it was discovered that both had re-
ceived a broken leg, and that Mrs.
Johnson was seriously injured other
wise having also sustained fracture
of the skull and blood was flowing
from her ears and mouth. She re-
NAMED in an unconscious condition
uutil the next morning. Mrs. Fox
was found not to have received any
injuries other than above stated and
was taken to the home of her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Updahl
about mile north of town at two
O'Clock the next morning.
The latest report from Mrs. Fox and
Mrs Johnson are that they are get
ting along nicely, which their many
friends will be glad to know.

Dan Patch Air Line.

Public Opinion is in receipt of a
letter from Minneapolis saying that
work on the Dan Patch Air Line will
be pushed harder than ever was evil.
denced Saturday morning by long
procession of machinery which was
taken from the railroad yards out to
the operating camp of the company
on Lyndale Avenue, south of the city
The machinery consisted of new
traction engine, grading machine,
eight dump wagons of the most inn
proved type, one tank. ten dump carts
and thirty.four head of horses. The
paraphernalia were put on the work
Monday morning and will greatly
facilitate the grading operations
which have been already extended
across the township of Richfeld and
will be pushed on and across Mime

which, the company can proceed

after furnishing bond to cover pos
sible damages.

rington- Skiles, as fiscal agents. has
been Cancelled, and President NJ. W. Saw
age has taken personal charge of the
sale of stock and is now making plans
to carry on vigorous and extensive
advertising campaign. This fact to-
gether with some other changes made
in the company's management has
great weight with those acquainted
with the Minneapolis mllionaire's pro-
gressive methods, and the prospects
for the operation of cars in the Lear
future on the Dan Patch Air Line
were never brighter.

Touching the report that the rail
road commissioners have ordered the
Rock Island and Milwaukee roads to
arrange their schedules so as to make
passenger train connections at Don
nan Junction in the afternoon, the
Fayette postal Gard has the following
"We have not allowed ourself to
place any great confidence in reports
and rumors concerning the fiexibility
of the railroad corporation conscience.
We concluded long ago that neirher OF
the railway companies were anxious
to accommodate the public or they
would have made that connection long
ago of their own free will.
Are the commissioners invested
with any real authority by the state,
or are they subsidized and paralyzed
by the influences surrounding their
position? The fact of their being trans
ported all over the state in the pri-
vate cars of the superintendent with
all refreshments furnished, has sus-
picious appearance, whether they are
working for the railroads or the
state.'
Whatever investment the railroad
commissioners may have was confer.
