C.. 0. JONES KILLED.,
HIS AIRSH|P BURNED
Aeronaut Dropped 500 Feet at
WaterviIle, Me.
WIFE AND CHILD PRESENT
Bag of DirigibIe Caught Fire and Ma
chinery and Inventor Shot to
Earth Before Crowd-Sparx Of
Motor Caused Disaster.

Waterville, Me. - In full view OF
$4,000 spectators on the Maine fair
grounds Charles Oliver Jones, the
we'll known aeronaut, Of Hammonds-
port, N. Y, fell distance Of 500 feet
to his death. Among the witnesses
Of the frightful plunge were Mrs.
Jones and her child. They were the
first to reach tn" side Of the dying
man. The aeronaut expired about
an hour and a half after the accident.
Jones had been at the fair grounds
with his dirigible balloon, the Boom
orang, known as a Strobsl airship,
since the opening day Of the fair.
When the aeronaut reached a
height of more than 500 feet the
spectators saw small tongues of fire
issuing from under the gas bag in
front of the motor. At this time the
balloon had passed out of the fair
grounds. Many persons in the great
crowd shouted to Jones of his danger,
but several minutes elapsed before he
noticed the fire. Then he grasped
the rip cord and endeavored to reach
the earth. The machine descended
but a short distance when a sudden
burst of fame enveloped the gas bag,
the framework Immediately separat-
ing from it. -.
Jones fell with the frame Of his
motor, and when his wife and child
and the spectators reached him he
was lying dying under the wrecked
machinery a quarter of a mile from
the grounds. The gas bag was COM
pletely destroyed. It is thought that
the bag leaked again and that a spark
from the motor caused the disaster.
Jones was forty years old.
Hammondsport, N. Y. - Charles
Oliver Jones, killed at Waterville,
was numbered among the younger
aeronauts, but his work in the field
had already marked him as n of
the most successful opponents OF
aerial navigation. =,
He came here a year ago from his
home in Cincinnati with some entire
ly new ideas in regard to airsl IS,
and joined Alexander Graham l.
and others in their experiments with
a%eroplanes. 1t was Jones who
evolved the famous June Bug"
which made several record flights for
short distances. The June Bug
won The Scientific American trophy
offered for heavier than air machines,
attaining a speed of about thirty
miles an hour against the wind.

London. - David Lloyd-George,
Chancellor of the Exchequer, has
returned to London. He said, when
it was suggested that he discussed
naval programs in the course of his
stay in Germany, that he had gone
to that country simply to investigate
the German system Of old age pen
sions. Punch, commenting on this,
saws: NOW that his recommended
ton to grant pensions has been
adopted he naturally feels that he
ought to seriously study the Dues
ton"
1t seems, according to Mr.. Lloyd
Georges statements in an interview,
that he did not find the German sys-
tenn to be of such a socialistic char
acter as he and his friends advocate

EXPOSING BAD MEN.

Editor Advertiser: The following ex-
tract from Governor Frear s Aala Park
speech has often been repeated in the
columns of the Advertiser, and it still
appeals to the honest voter:
SIT is said by some party leaders
that loyalty to one IS party requires one
to vote for yellow dog if he is put
on the ticket. Loyalty to party when
it comes into conflict with one duty
to one s country is treason, and should
be thought of as treason"
1t is the duty of every good citizen
to vote for good men. If ones party
ticket does not furnish such men, the
rightminded voter must look elsewhere.
The victory of a party with bad men
is more disgfaceful than defeat. Mis-
takes were made in the convention, and
now we are asked to vote for straight
ticket containing crooked men. Better
vote for a crooked ticket with straight
and honest men, He who votes for
men, unfit to hold Office in any party,
just because their names are on the
Republican ticket, is traitor to good
government.
1t is an unpleasant task to expose
mans bad character, and to tell the
world of his wrong-doing. But when
he is up for public office, the public
should know all about him. And should
know if he is unfit for the office he
seeks to hold. 1t is the duty of those
who know of his unftness to tell it
out fully and fearlessly. 1t should be
called treason to ones country to keep
silence, and let bad man hold the
confidence of the people. Those who
make known public dishonesty, graft
or corruption, should receive the thanks,
and not the blame, of any community.
Yours in appreciation,
INDEPENDENT REPUBLICAN,.

Midway Island, where she had gone
several weeks ago with the usual sup
plies for the cable colony. The weather
was pleasant both ways and Captain
Piltz has no hard luck story to tell
this time. Operator c. E. Beall and
two Chinese servants returned from
the island. From reports received from
Midway the island is growing through
sand being piled up around the edges,
with none being blown off. Besides
the Flaurence Ward every trip takes
a little soil and plants and the colony
is making an effort to grow trees, grass
and vegetables. The health report
from the colony is good. Operator
Cox sent his aloha back to his large
coterie of local friends.
