A TREE ON A TOWER.
1t Is the Last of Grove of Four on the
Same Perch.

Same Perch.
A tree growing on the top of the no.
foot tower of the courthouse at Green's
burg, Ind, is curiosity which is said by
writer in st. Nicholas to have no du-
pllcate in the world.
There were formerly four trees, but
when the courthouse was remodeled Ill
1887 the largest tree, then about fifteen
feet high, was removed, as its size was
thought to render the tower unsafe.
Two others on the south side persisted
from the intense heat. The tree left is
found at the northwest corner of the
tower, where the reflection of the heat of
the tower is not so intense as at the
point where the two others died.
AS there is a grove of soft NAPLES
growing in the courthouse yard, the grove
started by the wind blowing the winged
catching root in the sediments of dust
The trees We're first noticed sprouting
more than thirty years ago.
A recent examination of the tower
shows no damage done by the spreading
and growth of the roots. This tree is
about fifteen feet in height and three
inches in diameter. 1t was found that
the trees We're nourished " layer of
growth few feet below where the roots
emerge.
A large crack ON the south side of the
tower where one of the trees was re-
moved is noticeable from the ground.
Because of the lone tree, Greensburg is
sometimes known as the Lone Tree

BRYAN WANTS TO
BRING PROSPERITY
SAYS DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS
MEANS RESTORATION OF
GOOD TIMES.
ANSWERS REPUBLICAN CHARGE
THAT He is WITHOUT
EXPERIENCE.

Lincoln, Neb, Oct 3.--Speaking
last night before the German Bryan
club of Lincoln, Mr.. Bryan answered
criticisms which have been made OF
him by Governor Hughes and other
republican leaders, that his expert
ence in public life was not sufficient
to qualify him for the presidency.
Bryan asked his audience, why this
new born zeal for experience lie
cited Lincoln, Grant, Blaine, Harri-
son and Mckinley as having mad no
particular public experience previous
Iy to their nominations, and as for
Hughes, whom he said had laid spe-
cial emphasis upon Tafts experience
and qualification, he declared he mad
but two years experience as gov
ermor of New York and vet he
thought three monthse ago that he
himself was as well qualified for the
presidency as Taft,
The democratic candidate main
tanned that if he measured up to
Hughes in experience in public life
the governor ought not to urge my
inexperience as an objection to me.
Taking up the charge that he may
make unwise appointments II elected
to the presidency, Bryan insisted that
the argument should not be made py
a republican because he said that Tor
the next two years at least, the sen
ate would be republican and would
mass upon all important appointments,
thus sharing in the responsibility OF
any Objectionable men becoming OF
ficials. Il am satisfied" ne SAID,
that can find such excellent men
that even a republican senate VIII
not dare to reject them"
"A republican argument that we
hear much of now is that democratic
success will disturb business. Our
contention Is that democratic success
will restore prosperity. How can
thew threaten us with panic when
manic came under the present presi-
dent and is still upon u.s. In solie
respects. it is the most acute panic
we have ever had, and there was less
in natural conditions to justify II.

stand that cordial relations between
them could no longer exist. Fol
lowing is the text of the Carter will
in part: Il leave nothing to my son,
Leslie Dudley Carter, for the, reason
that he has left the home which /
maintained for him without cause or
justification. This believe can re-
suit only to his permanent injury, If
not his ruin. So long as he remains
under his mothers influence do not
desire, either directly or indirectly. to
aid him. If he comes to understand
the serious nature of his error and
separates himself from his mother
do not object to my said brother and
sister, or either of them, acting freely
on his or her own Judgment, treating
him as would have gladly done if he
had been loyal and dutiful toward me.
In considering this matter | desire
that all feeling of resentment for any
ingratitude toward me shall be for
gotten and disregarded, but | leave
both my said brother and my said
sister, each for themselves, free to
act in the event aforesaid of my said
son separating himself entirely from
the influence and association of his
said mother, as they or either of them
may think best Before Mr.. Carriers
illness, which necessitated the ap-
pointrnent of a conservator, his for
tune was estimated at several mil
lions The revelation that he was
worth less than 100000 came as a
surprise to many of his friends and
business associates. It was also
shown that the remaining estate is
in somewhat of tangle. The fact
that Mrs. Latting is not mentioned in
her brothers will is accounted for by
the fact that she is the wife OF a
wealthy man and that Mr.. Carter
knew that the money would be of no
particular benefit to her for this rea-
son.

SLAIN BURGLAR
Led DOUBLE LIFE
MAN KILLED BY DOCTOR
BELIEVED TO HAVE COMMIT
TED SEVERAL RoRBERiE

Chicago. Oct 3.-That Louis Lauter
bach, the former convict, shot dead By
DR.. Adolph Gehrmann while in the act
OF robbing the latter's home, was j
criminal Jelyll and Hyde is a theory
evolved by police officials who are
working to clear up a score of myster
ious burglaries committed in the
|neighborhood Oh the dead mans home
Following Lauterbach's identified
ton by his widow, it was learned that
the dead man had served a term in
the penitentiary for burglary and that
he had absented himself from home
lat different times in mysterious man
ner.
Lamterbach, never explained these
absences to his wife, and she always
believed he had gone to another city
On business. He seemed plentifully
supplied with money.
Most of the robberies investigated,
it is said, We're committed by a lone
burglar who used a dark lantern ana
heavy revolver, and who gained en-
trance to the houses with the aid of
skeleton keys.
A few of, the burglaries Lauterbach
is suspected of having committed are:
Sept. 12-B H. Dahlbim, 1856 Cot
tage Grove avenue; SO and other pro
perty.
Sept. 19.-H. E. Detwiler, 1912 Cot
tage Grove avenue; several hundred
dollars worth of goods taken.
Sept. 22-Morrison Cafe, 279 Forty
third street; $35 in cash and S45
worth Of dishes taken
Sept. PA. L. Coverdale, dry goods
store, 4240 Cottage Grove avenue;
$500 in currency
Sept 25-J Walsh, grocer, 1920
Cottage Grove avenue: $35 in cash.
Sept IS Clough & Stone, 302
Forty-third street; ESQ live chickens.
Sept. 27-D. Cohn, residence, 1927
Evans avenue; $500 in cash.
Sept. %, F. T. Porter, 23es Cottage
Grove avenue, merchant; 5000 worth
of revolvers and cartridges.
Il can not believe that my husband
vas professional burglar said Mrs
when the police suggested
that the dead man might have led
double life. He was always 50 good
and kind to us all and he seemed to
work hard whenever he had any work
to do
Capt. O'Brien, chief of detectives,
has detailed a number of men on the
case and every effort will be made to
discover whether Lauterbach com
mitted the southside robheries which
are worrying the police,

TRUST LUCK TO PAY BILLS.
Persons Suffering From Vanity Take
Long Chances, Says Hotel Manager.


Hotels are often the victims of
designing persons" said the assistant
manager of the St Regis to a New
York Herald man. Il cannot mention
names, but the persons referred to
are not malicious. in many cases, but
simply overcome by vanity. They
crave the experience of spending a
few days at a fashionable hotel and
trust to Providence that they may be
able to pay their bills or escape in
some other way without serious con-
sequences.
Il had telephone message one
evening this week, a woman asking
IF she might have room here for the
night. She also ordered a taxlcab. |.
asked where she was and she gave
me the name of a WellknoWn hospital
which led me to think that she was
patient there. /, of course, complied
with the request. She was shown in
to a room costing SIS day The next
day she asked for a suite costing $50
. day and sent for her trunks. When
we asked for a deposit she confessed
that she had no money and we were
obliged to take her rings as security
She has not returned. She was

Of wind, and again let's himself glide
downward, when. the moment has
come. His output of force is prac-
tically nil; he merely balances him
selfs We already know that the
wind travels in eddies or spirals,
which are conelike in form, and on
which all manner of objects are car
ried upward. These currents of air
are just che things which disturb us
when we fly under present conditions,
because we have to pass through
them and counterfeit their influence
by mechanical means. When the art
is developed they will aid us rather
than annoy us.
1T is when there is almost an alb
sence of wind that these spirals be-
come more pronounced. When the
wind is very strong they do not take
the same form, and consequently are
not of the same value for lifting pur-
poses. The buzzard does not go out
in high winds When we study the
question we find that most birds re
main under shelter when the wind at
tains anything like a considerable
force, and that is why we claim
that, with one of our present ma
chimes and with reasonable practice,
we can remain out flying as long as
the birds.
