A committee appointed by the Naviga-
ton Conference last April has adopted
a resolution advocating the adoption of
rule providing that the length of tow
in harbors and rivers shall not exceed
1900 feet from the bow of the tug to the
stern Of the last barge in tow; that the
distance between any two adjacent YES
sells towed shall not exceed twenty
five fathoms, aud the distance from the
tug to the first tow shall not exceed
City fathoms. A regulation of this kind
is necessary where towing is common,
as many accidents have occurred through
attempts to cross through strings of
barges and scows. The drowning Of a
launch full Of young naval officers in
Hampton roads was an incident in point.
Happily the business of towing barges
is declining toward extinction on the
Great Lakes.

A dispatch from London states that
great disappointment is expressed be-
cause the army airship could not return to
Aldershot through the air, and the opin-
ion is now quite general, after the expe
riences of a week, that dirigible gasbags
are useful only when the weather is es-
pecially favorable The fact that a Ger
man balloon Of which great flights were
expected was forced to the earth by a
heavy precipitation of dew is evidence
from another source as to the uncertainty
Of flight with balloons. This latter in-
eident ought to be of particular interest
to Walter Wellman, as one of the fears
Of acronauts concerning his ability to
make a prolonged fight over the Arctic
sea was based upon the well-known in
nuence of preciptations of moisture upon
the envelope of a gas bag. If heavy
dew could lower an airship to the earth
in Germany, a heavy coating of sleet
would be apt to cut short the flight Of
an airship that attempts to make an
aerial voyage over the icy Arctic sea.

only the best and most modern
features that money and labor can

variety as to satiate every arenic
taste and fancy. Lack of space

Wednesday night last one of her
little twin boys, George Arnold
Ulrich, sickened and died before
daylight next morning. Mrs. Ill
rich had been with relatives in the
Lincoln school district for the past
few weeks, with her lovely little
twin boys, two years old. The
children had both been we'll up to
last Wednesday night, when little
George was taken i'll with cholera
infantum and died next morning
at 4o'clock. DR.. Miller was called
but arrived only a few minutes be-
fore the end came. The father
was telephoned for and arrived on
Thursday on his sad mission,
nearly distracted at the loss of his
precious child. The funeral took
place from the home of Charles
Steel. where the death occurred
and the remains were brought here
and buried in our beautiful ceme-
terry, after exercises conducted by
Rev. Lovelace and DR.. Riggs. Mr..
Ulrich grew to manhood in this
community, and has many friends
here who sympathize with him
and his wife in their sad misfor-
tune.-Chips.
