TWO FLIGHTS BY THE AIRsHIp
First One In the Forenoon and

The airship America made two oeauti-
full sscensions from Krug park yesterday.

exclusive benefit OF the Krug park box
office. There was no one In the park ex-

preparatory to the daily opening an hour
later. The ascension was made by Captain
James Moore, owner OF the airship. to
prove to the people of Omaha that he had
an airship that could fly and would fly
whenever he said the word. His intention
was 10 make the trip southwark from KruE
park and make a wide circuit over the
city during the circus parade when the
streets OF the city were crowded with sight
eeera. But the wind was not favorable.
The best he could do was TO operate the
America" over Krug park and its imme-
diate vicinity. He remained UP In tho
air at a good height and circled his ship
in every direction as he willed. proving that
he had his vessel under perfect control.
The second ascension took place at 7:a
last evening. The America" emerEed
from the big tent carefully steadied and
handled by Captain Moore's experienced
corps of assistants. and was poised over
the arena until every preliminary was at
tended to. A large number OF people with
in the park enclosure vie we'd with lively
interest every detail Of the preparations
for the ascension. The beautiful lines Of
the airship, the light but stout framework
of the propeIling machinery underneath, the
cigar-shaped silk gas bag, the latter being
nearly sixty feet long and eighteen feet In
diameter, were all greatly admired.

You will also take up the matter with

be rendered throughout the year, the

elton, yet the routes are established with
the understanding that the roads are to
be kept up by the patrons both winter and
summer in good condition for the car
riers. This, however, has not been done.
In many parts of the country the rural
routes have been discontinued on account
Of such failure to keep the roads in prop
er condition, and I am sure that this case
will be no exception to the rule. In some
places the approaches to bridges have been
in an impossible condition for weeks and
It is dangerous for the carriers. Unless

Ask the Folks Next Door
Ask your ~next-door~ neighbor whatshe thinks of Van Camps Pork
Then do just as she advises about using them yourself.

We refer our case to anyone who ever used Van
Camps.
Ask any man or woman, boy or girl who knows them.
Ask how Van Camps compare with homebaked beans
compare with other brands.
There are millions of people who know this, and some
of them live next door. Ask and they'll tell you why
Van Camps command such an enormous sale.
Or learn for yourself-learn from a ten-cent can. See
if you can go back to home-baked beans after once trying
Van Camps. -
Those not yet using Van Camps Beans simply don't
know what they miss.
Perhaps they are clnging to homebaked beans
mushy and broken. Beans that are crisped on the top
and half-baked in the middle.
Perhaps they are eating very few beans, because such
beans are not appealing. Or, perhaps they realize that
such beans don't digest. That's why they ferment and
form gas.
Those people are losing one of the best foods in the
woodland one of the cheapest-simply because they
don't know how good baked beans can be.
One can of Van Camps will serve to alter their whole
idea of baked beans.

and E~ighty-Five Thousand
Dollars.

ordinance for passage last night with only
one minor change. According to this or
dinance the city contemplates an eNpendi-
ture of about S205, goo. TIL city attorney
said that so far as he could see there had
been all along a misconception Of the mean
ing Of the appropriation ordinance. He
said: "As It has been there has always
been a lot OF money in excess Of the levy
which has been tackled onto the funds,
and they have been swelled so long as
there has been any money available. We
do not know exactly what the collections
outside OF the levy may be, but we placed
an estimate so that a s.6-mill levy will be
raised TO meet the expenses of the city, We
propose that there shall be no boosting Of
funds next year and we will not permit
any such action"
The levy ordinance providing for Sc
mills on all the taxable property OF the
city was introduced at the meeting. This
levy will produce about SlS5.ooo available
for municipal purposes.
No mentor was made OF the furniture for
the city hall in the appropriation ordinance.
