SUCCESSFUL FLIGHT Aeronaut Hamilton, Against Strong Wind, Carries Out
 Plans of Trip. LANDS AT STARTING PLACE Dirigible Airship Sails Out Over the Sound and Comes Back Against
 the Gale.

The most successful flight that Aeronaut Hamilton has yet taken at Savln Rock in his big dlrgible bal loon was that which he made early last night in which he travelled sev- eral miles through the air and al- though opposed by strong wind cur rents he succeeded in landing In al- most the very spot he had started from. When everything was ready for the flight the big airship was re- leased at about o'clock in the pres ence of an interested throng of watchers md Hamilton turned his aerial car towards the White City. The first big stunt he performed was the circling of the tower the White City and to show that his car was per- fectly under his control despite the winds which were trying to bafIle tower twice in Imitation of the circllng of the Eiffel tower in Paris by Du- mont
 Then Hamilton set off for a little trip inland and rising to a consider able height he traveled rapidly right into the eye of the wind. t seemed for about q mile in westerly by north direction A change of the rudder and he was on the return trip but by no means near the end of the performance. He next directed the machine out over the water and sail ed for quite a distance over the sound this time with the wind favoring him. Then he turned and made the flight back against the wind IL proved q genuine fight, too, for the wind by this time had increased considerable.
 Three tries Hamilton made to reach his position in the grove to drop be- fore he was able to effect the proper landing. Three times he was com pelled to increase the amount of gas fed to his engine, thus greatly increas- ing the revolutions made by his pro peller blades. Coming in as he near ed the big Colonnade restaurant he dropped almost 10 the surface of the water to obtain the effect of 1t as a buffer against the wind and then as he neared 1t he rose and sailed over it only to be driven back by tho gale as he tried to drop. But over the wa ter he went but undismayed he tried again Once more he came over and was among the tree tops when the wind took him back again. The third time with more gas feeding into the engines than before oven and with the huge rudder of the aIrship flaming to and fro like an oar he swept over and this time, amid the plaudits of the crowd. came down in almost the very spot his ship had risen from some time before, The trip was a very successful one and good demonstra. ton of the dlrigihility of the machine which Mir Hamilton has been using ir his aerial trips here.

TAFT BANNER SUPPRESSED
It Fails to Create Applause in Con.

Convention hall, Chicago, June IS. A Taft banner, displayed in the cen- ter of the body of delegates, with the legend Our Candldate,' sent only a ripple of perfunctory applause through the big hall. The man with the banner marched down the center aisle toward the speakers rostrum, in an evident attempt to set the crowd afire, but nothing happened, and the banner was quickly suppressed until more favorable moment. There was practically no cheering or en- thusiasm or excitement before the convention was called to order.

ARE HUNTING F0R
 QUANTRELL's GOLD
HUNDREDS OF HOLES HAVE BEEN
 DUG TO FIND THE TREASURE
Stories of the Bushwhackers' War Sin ews Have Their Effect in Missouri County-S5,00o Is Supposed to Have Been Buried Near Independence.

INDEPENDENCE, Mo, May l3.-A hundred men in Jackson county have dug for hidden gold. The marauding of Quantrell s bushwhackers and the "Rew Legs" of Kansas and the con centration of southern sympathizers by Order No. II caused many families to bury money, plato and other valuablcs for safety until times of peace. Often the families were extinct when the end of sle war came or those who knew the treasure s location were dead, and the valuables remained in the ground. Tn various parts of the country, especially near Independence, thousands in money, jewels and family papers are buried and forgotten. Hundreds of holes have been dug to find these treasures, and new generation is now trying it's hand at the game. If anyone has found a for tune the fact has been concealed.
 "Matt' Gossett, grocer, is the only man who is known to have found any thing, and his search was rewarded only by pile of guns, revolvers, cloth. ing, shoes and other articles believed to have been taken from Federals by bush whackers and buried for future use.
 "The find was in the Round Grove district," said MT. Gossett, "and dug around the place, but never found any thing else. It was commonly believed during the latter part of the war that Quantrell buried the Lawrence plunder there. 1"
 Horace Shelley, an attorney, tells his experience in treasure hunting.
 "There are two stories about Quan- trell s treasure, One is that the money was buried near Round Grove Creek, where it still remains, and the other is that it was dug up by Charles Higbee, who helped bury it. Higbee was in In dependence after the death of Quan- trell in Kentucky and then disappeared. He went to Texas, where he died. No one knows whether he got any of the money.
 1" Hick' Stovall, a member of Quan- trell's gang, believed the money was still buried. He and I went to Round Grove Creek several years ago and dug in several places that Stovall remem- bered as camping grounds and promis- ing spots, but we didn t get anything except blisters on our hands,"
 Potts's Knowledge . Grain Valley has its Quantrell TO- nance. Either girl or treasure brought brought Martin Potts back to spot northeast of the village after the war. Potts had been confidential adviser of Quantrell and was supposed to know where the places were that the bush whacker had his sinews of war. Grain Valley believed that one of these caches was northeast of the town and that

Yes-wha. Should We Think7

We hear of articles that were brought from Pekin and arc for sale in Ger many and in New York which it is prob. able were never obtained as gifts or by purchase. They were sacred ar ticles or mementos of the royal fam fly which could not properly have been parted with by Chinese officials. They are called "loot" and seem to represent stealing of petty kind, but of the sort which hundred years ago enrich ed many Europeans at the expense of Orientals. What should be think of a Chinaman who should make success ful raid in New York or Boston and carry away to keep, or to sell, silver plate taken from our churches, or relics of historic characters preserved in mu- seumss Is it a wonder that Christians are not always admired in heathen lands, when such things are possiblef r.

Cruise of Our Fleet Teaches This as a Geographical Lesson to Americans --"San' Used as a Prefix in Many Places.

South America is continent of saints. Geography has been one of the lessons taught to us by the cruise of our great fleet from Hampton Roads to San Francisco, and Americans, in following the ships from day to day, in the news and tracing their course on maps, have learned more about South America than they ever knew before.
 Among the lessons taught have been the names of places, and a strong i'm pression has been made by the number of times that "San" is used as pre- fix to places. Sometimes we see the prefix translated into our "Saint," but in South America the Spanish form is used. There are 517 places on that con. tinent named after saints of the Cath

Sioux City, Dec. 12.-John E. Mat
thews, known as the "black car" who
died suddenly of apopleXy in his place
of business on the west side during
the past week, was one of the best
educated negroes in Iowa. He came
to Sioux City from Muscatine several
years ago, and endeavored to organ
ize the african Monarchs," ne
gro protective and insurance society.
Members of his own race impugned his
motives and the project was failure.
Embittered by the lack of cooperation
on the part Of fellow negroes, he fore
then has kept himself aloof from black
people. One of his rules was that no
negro be allowed to enter his place of
business. He declared that he would
"show them,' meaning other negroes.
He set out systematically to educate
himself SO as to raise himself above
the level of his race, and at the time
Of his death was engaged in writing
a book on the financial progress of the
negroes. He had ambitions to become
a banker, and recently was negotiating
for property on which to erect bank
building. Darwin, Ingersoll, Huxley,
Voltaire and other atheistic writer's
were his favorbte authors, and night
after night in his place Of business,
which was a combined pool hall, bar
Der shop and restaurant, he would sit
up and read, his study hours being
from midnight until about 4 o'clock in
the morning. His funeral was held
Thursday afternoon at the home. of
Mrs. Bessis Rustin, who after his death
turned up with the claim that she was
his common law wife. She is a white
woman.
