SMELLS ON ROCK PILE.
City Prison Boasts of Remarkable
Array of Talent.

This is a lively week at the stone
yard in the city Jail. Never before in
the history of the Topeka police force
has the jailer kept watch over such a
lot of men. There are only four men
on the stone pile but they are the
SWEETEST bunch" that ever entered the
quarry" Long sweeping, two but
toned deep vented shooting lapelled
coats; peg top four inch cuffed, featl-
er edged, animal colored trousers:
white high collars with butterfly bows.
white pIeated shirts stiff as a board
hats; buckled. sand bar shaped red
shoes and noisy socks. That's the
kind of an outfit at the police station.
The Topeka police have been doing q
high class business the last few days
and every visitor that comes into the
police station is shown. the exhibition
of "swells." The jailer said yester-
day: That's the best looking bunch
we ever had. Did you notice those col
lars and clothes. And they are proud
of their clothes. too. This morning
one of them asked me if he could not
have a pair of overalls to work in"
The collection includes a barber no.
tel keeper and a dude. The barber
was tipsy when caught and said he
had spent all his money on beer and
clothes. He looked it. The hotel keep
err Irve Palmer, is the proprietor of the
rainier mousse at oiNer Lake, the
largest and most up to date hotel il.
that city. Palmer came to Topeka to
study the hotel conditions of the times
but when he had visited a few drug
stores he did not have the price to see
the inside of hotel and he went to the
city Jail. He has notified his relatives
of his condition but they have decided
that the experience will do "Irve" good
and he should pound rock for awhile
The dude is the young man who was
caught spooning in the city park and
arrested.
It is an unusual sight to see such a
gang at the rock pile and the police
force can't help but take a look when
ever a stranger comes in.

Madison, Wis. r Sept. 3O.-The su-
preme court has declared sun constitu-
tional the Wisconsin eight hour teleg-
raphers' law, which was enacted in
1907 The law is declared unconstitu-
tional on the theory that it is in con-
fiict with the provisions of the federal
constitution which clothes congress
with the power to regulate interstate
commerce and further on the theory
that congress having already provided
a law fixing the hours of railway
telegraphers. it was. not within the
power of the state to enact a law
which would in effect change these
hours of labor.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-03-21

HE present season promises to
 be lively one for aeronauts
 and aeronautics. Although the
 A usual experiments in air navi- sation were carried on by the French and British war departments most of the glory of achievement last season was won by civilian enterprise The United States government-always a bit conservative in the matter of bal looming to have walked up to the possibilities of air travel It has gone so far as to establish a flying corps as a regular branch of the army. An or der for three new balloons of the gas bag pattern has been placed with Leo Stevens, the veteran ascensionist and balloon maker, and as soon as they are delivered at Omaha-probably early in May-a series of experiments will be made.
 At first thought it is rather disap- pointing that the government has made no advance in substituting some one of the numerous widely exploited air ships of recent times for the old fash toned gas bag. The fact is, the gov ernment has become weary of the re- peated failure that has followed every trial of new principle and has also grown correspondingly wary. It has not forgotten that once upon a time congress. appropriated $50,000 for an aeroplane that promised for certain to go-and didn't. It took it only about ten seconds to fall with smash that was perfectly convincing-so much so,

one of them. eve shall not have any balloons in future" he says. We shall have flying machines. The flying ma chine is heavier than air, just as the birds are. There are no balloons in na- ture."
 The very latest evidence in support of Sir rHiram's opinion is to be found in the wonderful achievements of two broth CTS named Wright, living in Dayton, o. Owing to the secrecy which these eXperimenters have always observed in connection with their inventions sci- entific observers have been disposed to doubt the value of their alleged dis coyery. Quite recently an English scientist of repute, Patrick Y. Alex ander visited the brothers at Dayton and was admitted to their workshop and actually witnessed one of the flights of their aeroplane, He declares in the English scientific journals that he saw enough to convince him that the problem of air navigation has been solved
 Men whose veracity is unassailable assert that on Oct. last one of the Wright brothers made flight of twen- ty-four miles in his aeroplane Santos Dumont, who holds the record for simi- lar air locomotion with only 225 yards to his credit, seems to have been en- tirely outdone by these publicity shun- ming Buckeyes.

feet of gas and will cost about s12,000 These new balloons are intended for signal work, and experiments with bombs and high explosives will also be made with them.
 But Uncle Sam is not the only one who is interested in balloons this year. The greatest aeronautic congress ever held will assemble at Norfolk during the Jamestown Tercentennial, and St. Louis has been selected by the Aero club as the point at wkich will be held the international balloon races in the contest for the James Gordon Bennett prize of 1907.

Of course the bag balloon is a differ ent proposition. It has been shown to be useful in many ways. and there are possibilities still awaiting demonstra- tion. The European military depart ments have kept right at it, and Uncle Sam is not averse to a modest ex- ploitation now and then. The present season will witness a more extended course of experiment than has ever yet been undertaken. The largest of the balloons constructed by Leo Stevens will have a capacity of 7S.OOO cubic

ton claim to have been witnesses of these marvellous feats. It is asserted that the driver of the machine had per- feet control of it. moved up and down as he willed and that the strong air currents did not complicate the direc- tion of the apparatus. Trees were cir cled, fields were passed over in every direction and the inventors were able to bring their contrivance to earth without any sudden jar, showing that it was under their control.
 The secrecy connected with the dis covery is not reassuring, but it is maintained by friends of the brothers that they expect to sell their inven- tion for great sum to foreign gov ernment and cannot afford to risk pub- licity. Santos-D -Dumont is so confident of the worthlessness of the claim that he has challenged the Wrights to conn pete for the prize of $50,000 offered by the London Daily Mail to the owner of the first airship that shall travel from London to Manchester, distance of 1855 miles. At latest account the brothers had not accepted the French- mans challenge.
 Now the situation in the United States resolves itself into competition between the contestants for the gov- ernment prize at the Jamestown ex- position and the St. Louis competitors. The principle of successful aerial navi- gation is inv olved. While the round balloon will be used exclusively at St. Louis, there is division in the ranks of the flying machine men. Some of them insist on the aeroplane idea and that alone, and others are satisfied with combination of the gas bag and the motor Santos-Dumont, who has been devoted to the combination the- cry, has recently gone over to the other side. s.
