Manila.-Charles II. Trotter, an

Jose Cayanan, Spaniards, were killed
last Wednesday near Lubao, in the
province OF Pampagna, by a party of
F1lipinos. The men were murdered
with bolos and their bodies were bad.

Trotter was a contractor and land
owner and had had trouble over land
titles with a Filipino who led the party
which killed Trotter and his compan.
ions.
The Filipinos assert that Trotter
and his companions were the aggres-
sors, but American neighbors say
that the murder was deliberately
plotted by the Filipinos, who waylaid
the party and provoked quarrel.
They further claim that the Filipino
officials are indisposed to properly in.
yestigate' the crime and prosecute the
nurderers, and they have therefore
sent a representative to Manila with
a petition to Governor General Smith
TO cause special Investigation of the
case to be made. The American and
Spanish residents are strongly I'm.

regret will too often smother out
the incense of happy memories.
Then, many a man will see where
his bark Of happiness was wrecked,
and wonder why he did not use his
eyes before. There will be mil.
lions of reefs, rocks, and shoals to
be seen, over and by which we all
have run. Men will see the skele-
tons of their hopes of happiness
hanging exposed to every wind
to every remark-to every eye.
They will hang on cold snow-hills
on waving curls-on diamond
girted fingers-on red cheeks-on
hollow accomplishments; traps set
in life by deceit, to catch victims
for remorse. The wine-cup and
wassail bowl will lie thick along
that path, and in each will be the
anchored skeleton Of some manly
heart-some noble soul. You and
US, my boy, will then see on what
hollow and worthless reeds we have
leaned for superior what cold
hearts we have some time or other
laid our hopes-on what uncon-
genial spirits we have lavished af-
lection. We shall see, my boy,
where often in life we failed-we
shall see warning posts now un-
noticed, but none the less there.
Yes, Walter, my boy, that day will
be a busy one for the eyes, and
happy will be he who looks we'll
about him here. There is so much
work to do. All not done in the
forenoon must be done in the after
noon. There will be new mating
and unmatlng then; new aims and
new objects, for we shall see
Alright.
Let you and us, my boy, no
matter how others use their eyes,
keep ours open while awake, and
day by day learn what they were
given us for.

| Paper Read Before the Chautauqua Circle.
A short time ago l read paper
before this circle on the art of sail
ing thru the air in the common
way, that is, in a hot air balloon.
In this paper I will deal with the
gas balloon. In August, 1895, 1
received a letter asking me if I
would make gas balloon ascen-
sion, if they would furnish the
outfit. I answered saying l would,
but that [ had not had much ex-
perience with the gas balloon.
Now the gas balloon is intirely
different to the hot air kind. 1t
was eighty feet high and was made
of silk cloth. It was double one,
that is, two separate balloons and
of the same size. After the two
were made they we're vanished
and when dry we're put together,
one inside the other.
The opening in the bottom was
a silk pipe nine inches in diane
ter, to connect with the gas sup
ply. In the top of the balloon
was small valve with rope run
ming down to the basket below.
This valve was to let out gas in
case you wanted to descend. In
stead of ropes fastened to the bot
tom, as in the hot air balloon, there
was net stretched over the bal
loon, running down to the basket.
In the bottom of the basket was a
twenty-four inch trap-door so you
could get into the basket from the
trapeze below.
After laying out the balloon and
tying on some sand bags to keep
the outfit from running off while
I was filling it, l then connected
the silk pipe to the gas main and
turned on the gas, letting it in
slowly. I was three hours filling
it. After looking things over and
finding everything all right, l
/
folded up the silk pipe and tied it
SO that no gas could escape, then
[ fastened the basket, to the bal
loon. After all was ready l got a
number of men and we towed the
balloon out into an open lot near
by, 80 that I would have clear sail
ing. l then put into the basket
twelve twenty five pound sacks of

Active at New
Prison Site.

The new prison grounds present
scene of great activity now with
an outlook for a substantial pro-
gress in erecting a new model
institution being made by fall.
There are four groups of con-
tractors busy besides Superin-
tendent Smith who, with number
Of laborers is directing the state
farm of which the state farm is
part.
The Omaha railway has an
engineer and crew of men laying
spur tracks to various parts of the
building site to- be used for dis
tributing materials for the build
ings to be erected, for the water
works, and later to be used in con-
nection with the completed build
ings in shipping materials and the
manufactured product of the pro-
posed new prison industries.
The contractors of the splendid
water works system have reached
the site for the buildings IN the
construction Of that plan. Water
mains are being laid on all parts of
the grounds so that a complete
system may be afforded for all
buildings and for yard purposes.
The sewer contractors have COM
pleted that system from the st.
Croix, distance of half mile
and are laying the pipes on the
building site. They are almost
done.
The contractors who are to erect
the three buildings this summer
are making good Roadway. A
large crew he's got we'll along with
the concrete foundations and are
almost ready to start the super
structures that are to be of wide
walls of concrete, veneered with
brick. These buildings will pre-
sent an attractive appearance when
completed.
The state farm embraces 154 acres.
On it vegetables will be raised to
partly supply the prison inmates.
Superintendent Smith is practical
gardener and this year the product
of the farm will be larger than be-
fore and will 60 far toward supply
ing the prison tables with vege-
tables. In recent years consider
able portion of the prison vege-
tables has come from the farm of
the insane hospital at Hastings

sand for ballast, also d suit of
clothes and an overcoat. After
testing the ropes and the escape
valve and finding them all right, l
took hold of the trapeze and gave
the word for everybody to let go,
and I was off.
Talk about your pleasure trips
on hot summer day to some park
or seashore-take a trip in gas
balloon instead. It beats the other
trips forty ways and then some.
Finding that I was going all right,
I climbed up into the basket and
then took a good look around.
Talk about your sights! You
could travel in all the railroads
and steamboats, in the country and
not see anything to equal it.
By that time [ was up in the air
about two thousand feet and I
could see about twenty-five miles.
There we're beautiful winding
rivers that looked so small that
you could step across them, trains
that looked like toys, and grown
up people that looked like little
children. The city that [ went up
from contained about twenty-five
thousand people but it didn't look
to be more than ten blocks square.
Everything kept getting smaller
and smaller when all of a sudden
everything went out of sight
seemed to be in sort Of mist or
cloud. It now began to grow cold
so [ put on the suit of clothes, but
it kept on getting colder and SO [
put on my overcoat and [ was not
any too warm then. Suddenly it
was all [ could do to breathe. And
then my nose commenced to bleed.
I decided that it was time for me
to go down instead of up, so [ took
hold of the rope and opened the
valve and began to make my des-
cent until I was below the clouds.
Then closed the valve and sailed
along over the most beautiful
country you could wish to see, over
lakes, small villages, hills and
meadows.
Finding that it was growing
late in the evening l decided to
land, so began to look out for a
good place. I let out little more
gas and settled down to about
five hundred feet from the ground,
all the while looking for an open
space to land In. Looking down
[ found that I was sailing over
small town or village, and that
there were number of people out
in the street looking up at the bal
loon, some of them we're getting
into rigs and starting to follow
me. / noticed that I was gradu-
ally settling, and that was going
straight into bunch of trees, so |
threw out two bags of sand or bal
last and l gradually commenced to
go up again and sailed over the
trees. On the other side was an
open space with one tree in it, and
as 1 was going straight for it, l
got out my grab hook to see if l
could not hook it into the tree to
keep the balloon from dragging
me when I landed. As [ went
over it I threw out the anchor and
it caught, 80 I opened the valve
and settled to the ground. When
I had landed I asked the people
