in Manzanola Colorado, and La Crosse,
Kansas After finishing school at
these places she sought for more
knowledge. tllled with the same vim
and vigOr which she now as well as
then possessed. She took IA course in

tied with this, she took business
course in The Modern Schools of
business iu Denver to more fully pre-

Correspondence School, she came back
to her home near Ordway. Soon after

Union Paciac Extension.

NORTH PLATTE, Neb.. Sept. S.-Cspe-
cial)-At the time work was resumed on
the North River branch of the Union Pa
cific it was intended that the road be
completed only to Oshkosh. Orders have
been received since TO continue the con-
struction twenty miles beyond Oshkosh.
1t is thought that this road will also be
completed to N%orthport this year. North
port is located forty-five miles west of
Oshkosh. On September % an excursion
will be had TO Oshkosh, and a special
train will be secured and probably several
hundred citizens from North Platte and
vicinity will go to Oshkosh to help partici-
pate in the celebration which will be held
there on that day in commemoratlon Of
the building OF the Union Pacific railroad
into Oshkosh. 1t is expected that Oshkosh
will be thronged with people on that day.
Oshkosh Is situated in the North river
valley In Deuel. county and is surrounded
by the most productive farm land in west
ern Nebraska, and since the railroad has
been built into the town, no doubt that
neighborhood will become well settled and
a prosperous community. Already there is
considerable talk of dividing Deuel. county
and making Oshkosh the countyseat OF the
north portion.

AERoNAUT KILLED BY FALL
DIrtgible Balloon of Charles oliver
Jones Takes Fire While In
the Air.

wATERvILBE. Me-. Sept, s.-In fun
kiew OF $500 Mortified spectators assem-
bled on the Central Maine fair gJounds
here today. Charles oliver Jones, the well
known aeronAut of Hammondsport, N. Y,
fell a distance Of 500 feet to his death.
Among the witnesses of the frightful
plunge were Mrs. Jones and child and
they were the first to reach the dying
man. The aeronaut died an hour and a
half after the accident.
Jones had been at the fair grounds
with his d~irigible balloon. Boomerang,
since Monday. He arranged to make a
flight between 3 and 4 o'clock. but the
strong wind prevented. However, at 4:3O
he gave the word to have the machine
released. When the aeronaut reached a
height OF more than 500 feet the specta-
tors were amazed TO see small; tongues of
flames issuing from under the gas bag
In front OF the motor. Many persons en-
deavored to spprise Jones of his danger,
but sew vi minutes elapsed. before he
noticed the fire. Then he grasped the rip
cord. and by letting out gas endeavored
TO reach the earth The machine had de-
scended but a short distance when a sud-
den burst of flame enveloped the gas bag
and Jones fell from the framework of
his motor. The physicians found that
Jones had no chance TO survive, as he
was injured internally and his spine was
broken.
Jones had trouble with his balloon
yesterday on account of cold weather
Monday night, which caused a number Of
leaks, through the contraction of the gas
bag~lt Is thought the bag leaked again
today and a spark from the motor caused
the disaster. Jones wsssI0 years old and
leaves a wife and child.

sessions. The late Lord Salisbury pointed
out clearly at the time Of the Armenian
massacre, that the eventuality Of the dis
memberment Of the ottoman empire was
war on a tremendous scale, involving all
Europe. Your American newspaper edi-
torial writer's have practically united in the
view that the long dominion Of the Turk
in Europe is about to close. And European
journals are pronounced in expressing a
similar view. Twenty-Five hundred years
ago Daniel. the prophet, pointed out that
over this very question and the ultimate
settlement, there was to be a time of
trouble such as never was in the history
Of nations. Novo Vremya Of ST. Peters
burg, insists that the present revolution
and such 1t is, potential and far-reaching-
may bring disaster upon Christians
throughout Turkey; and Rome Tribuna
sees a tempest ahead in which the strong
est winds are yet to blow.
our denomination will redouble its ef-
forts to reach both press and the people
with the good news that Jesus Of Nazareth
is coming again, The fall OF the empire Of
the u~nspeakable Turk will be a guarantee

return of Christ will be speedily met with
the reality Of that event. We are neither

The Twenty-third annual conference of
the Seventh Day Adventists of Nebraska,
is i'm session here. Nearly a thousand Ad-
v~entists from all parts Of the state, and
other states, are camped at Heartwell
camp. John S. Wightman, press repre-
sentative OF the Adventists for the district
of the Mississippi valley. states that the
member of the denomination are now
much concerned in events taking place in
the Turkish empire. The Adventists for
half a century have believed the Ottoman
empire to be the king of the north of the
eleventh chapter Of Daniel and the ''apol-
lyon" of the ninth chapter of Revelation.
According to these prophecies. the sultan
must be driven from his European pos
sessions. This will be the signal for a
worldwide war in a scramble for his
territory. in the midst OF which Christ
will appear. the righteous dead be resur-
rected, and the end Of the age take place.
