The Wriqht Brothers.

Having already exhausted all their
Wright's earlier exploits in the air, it
is difficult to imagine what they are
saying IN France when they speak of
his latest achievement in which he so
completely beat the records of his
brother brville III this country. The
repeated successes of this remarkable
pair ot young Americans. one in this
country and the other in France have
amazed the world and all the foreign
experts yield to them the primary of
the air 70 lie sure the French have the
honor IF having been the first to foster
alton, but the energetic and ingenious
Yankees have now distanced them. No
doubt when Orville Wright arises from,
his bed of suffering where he is now
confined he will promptly proceed to
beat the latest record which his brother
has established beyond the sea.
That was great illustration of
rerve when Wilbur Wright within Il
week after the terrible accident at
Washington which brought his brother
TO the brink Of the grave and killed
his companion, slid up into the air over
Il French parade ground and set new
worlds record He remained aloft in
his aerorlnne 90 minutes, covering over
60 miles. and would have stayed up
longer had it not teen for the advent of
darkness. Nerve like that, combined
with bulldog perseverance and plenty
of science, will beat gravity and air
resistance and squally winds il any
thing can beat them.

been fed daily on milk without disease
germs, and 1880 glasses of milk have

recreation piers. chiefly to children.
This work of Mr.. Straus is regarded as
an important item in the prevention OF
tuberculosis and Of other diseases.

The Kind BRYAN Likes.

The complete exposure of Governor
Haskell Of Oklahoma, who was Bryans
chief engineer at the Denver conven-
ton and Is now his campaign treasurer
is giving the people of the country
some interesting details regarding the
earlier biography of this remarkable
western statesman. Before becoming
governor OF Oklahoma and the bosom
cEum OF Mr.. Bryan, he had an extreme
ly active and variegated career in va
rious parts of the West, jumping from
one state to another as each locality
became in turn too warm for him. His
business was that of an all-r,u nd
trouble on divers occasions. Once. a
cruel and unfeeling judge made him
surrender d large amount of railway
stock to which he had no legal right
For time he was telephone promo
ter in Texas until his company went
into the hands of q receiver md he
hurricd to move on to pastures new.
In another state he became president
of contracting company with rec-iv
crship proceedings again begun. The
investigation into his past career shows
also such minor matters as suits Cor
board bills, suits for drawing salaries
700 large from his companies, and so
on
In himself Mr. Haskell IS very
small potato, and if Oklahoma wants
that kind Of 4 man IN the governors
chair it is its own affair but Just now
the disclosures regarding his career and
his character, wholly aside from his
unsavOry connections with the Stand
ard Oil company, are valuable as show
with what kind of men Mr. Bryan IS
willing to surround himself Then
there are "Fingy" Corners, Roger Sud
livan, Tom Taggart, Pat McCarren and
Murphy!

The only mystery about that ST

epidemic has been so slow in over
Whelming the city. The sewers of the

infection, disease and infection is run

With the characteristic lateness of
most Russian precautionary arrange
ments, Prime Minister Stolypin has
now prevailed upon The mayor of st.
Petersburg to appoint commission to

from the town, and after two or three
reports, and the pencilled approval OF
the Car, this Indispensable change
may be made. When Peter the Great
founded ST. Petersburg. in 1903, the land
upon which the city stands was little
better than marsh. The NeVa sui
overaows the town from time to time,
and a good many of the cellars are
used as dwellings. Given start,
cholera is as much at home in the
Russian capital as fever is in an Afri-
can jungle. A goodly number of the

under this epidemic-several hundreds
have already died; but not one Of these
deaths can be intelligntly charged to

pidity are the causes of it all.
