NO ARMY
LIFE FOR
\. F. AYRES

Washington. May l4-First of the
graduates of this years West Point
class to resign his commission. after
a brief experience as soldier of
Uncle Sam, is Second Lieutenant II.
Fairfax Aryes. Seventh Cavalry,
who leaves the army today. Last
year four officers resigned within
thrce months after leaving the mill
tary academy. This was considered
an unusually large number. aud was
partly responsible for Mr.. Taft's tell
ing this years graduates that the
War department expected them to
stay in the army. 1t was therefore
rather unexpected that Lieut.. Aryes
would have so little difficulty IN get.
ting his resignation accepted. Appar.
emily the War department Is not 60
ing to stand on the letter OF the law
which binds lieutenant to serve
eight years from the time OF entering
West Point.
In the early part of the last century
there was different feeling about
designations of graduates. There
was so little chance for promotion
because Of the absence OF retired
list that many officers resigned. A
classic example Of this is afforded by
the class of 1881 which had some
distingu officers in IL aud mum.
bered in all thirty.three graduates.
Within six years after leaving West
Point twenty.three Of that years
class had left the service for other
pursuits. The first FIVE OF 1881 re.
signed within five years after gradust-
ing. the sixth on the list died In
Florida In 1899. and the next two also
resigned within fve years. Three of
the members Of that class died within
eight years. leaving but seven officers
on the rolls.

drowned, but so far his parents have
been unable to find a trace of his body
and offer reward of $50 for informa-
ton leading to the recovery of the body

after o'clock Tuesday evening, wad-
ing in the river at the rear of Samp-
sons blacksmith shop on Church
street. The bank at this point is very
steep and was partially under water,
while swift current swept near the
banks. 1t is thought that while wad-
ing he stepped off OF the bank and
the strong current whirred him out

bank. The river is being watched al
most constantly for some trace of the

The operator would take his glider
to hill top, take good running start,
lift his feet off the ground, and let

the concern, if it were properly con-
structed, and if several other things
were favorable, he would be carried
along in the air a few feet from the
ground, not in straight line, but un-
dulating up and down, at times at
height of perhaps twenty feet.
1t sounds easy, but as matter OF
fact gliding takes as much skill as
managing sailboat. Mr.. Baldwin does
not think it as dangerous, however, as
racing an automobile. The first prac-
tices are for short jumps of ten feet
or so from the tops of little knobs;
the longer glides corne later.
Mr.. Baldwin glided for about three
months before constructing his flying
machine, and the Wrights glided for
three years.

"We have investigated the character
OF this man and find that it Is without

Mrs. Guinness with a view Of marrying
her. He is now married to another

CONCEDED TO PRoeREssIvEs.
Unpre JUDGED View About Hardin,
Wright and Franklin Counties.

Special TO Times Republican.
Iowa Falls, June 1.-The last week
of the state primary campaign in this
part of the Third district and in this
county, was characterized by sud-
den revival OF interest following an
otherwise latent campaign. But few
speeches have been made in this part
of the district and the principal cam
paign has been carried on thru the
newspapers. Interest naturally centers
most in the outcome Of the contest for
United States senator and for cong
ressman, while the governorship con-
test seems to have elected but pass
ing interest 1t is now conceded that
the lines on the two factions in the
republican party will be sharply
drawn and that progressive" and
"standpat'' will cut more of figure
than the real merits of the candidates
themselves.
1t seems to be the unprejudiced view
that Hardin, Wright and Franklin
counties, forming the business end
of the monkey-wrench" district, will
give majorities for Cummins and
Pickett. In these counties there are
only three contests on for republican
nominations, these being between r.
A. vigars and Thomas Meader, for
auditor; William Welden, of this city,
and c.. MeKeen Duren, of Eldora, for
representative. and j. M. Stout, Of Ell
