AlRSHIP TOO HEAVY TOFLY

Hot Springs, Oct. 5.-A con- plete failure was the result of the initial attempt made last Sun day morning to fly the airship which has been constructed by the Hot Springs Airship Com pany, according to patents of In ventor Joe T. Rice, of this place.
 At the crucial moment it was discovered that the gas bag was not powerful enough to lift the great framework, N hich is 80 feet in length. A large crowd assembled to witness the ascen- sion and the disappointment was keen.
 The machine cost 4,000, and there was good reason to believe that it would be a grand success. Mr. Rice will alter the mechani- cal arrangements somewhat and thinks he will yet be successful in navigating the air.

 Get Same Treatment.

Warren, Oct.5. Elijah Skaggs who claims to be the second Mes slah, was not given an oppot tun- ity to arise on the third day, as he claims to be able to do, but last night, the second day of his presence in this vicinity. he was visited by a posse composed of nearly 100 of the most prominent farmers of this county, who went to the house of one of his follow CTS, where he was stopping. Taking Skaggs by force a short distance from the house they ad- ministered 1C0 lashes on his bare back with trace straps taken from bnggy harness. After the whipping Skaggs was brought by the posse to Warren, where he was loaded on a Rock Island train and warned never to appear again within the borders of Brad ley county.
 After disposing of Skaggs the band visited the homes of his followers here, some 10 or 12, and warned them never to speak of Skaggs or his doctrines or they would be subjected to the same treatment.

RAISING REVENUE

The Chicago Record Herald gives an incident by which the government of that city raises the revenue from the liquor traffic which the voters, by their ballots, claim that they must have in order to keep up the streets, schools, pri; ons, aims houses, etc. A young man of 20 years stood on the corner and begged aims of the passers by in order to obtain money enough to rent a room in which to commit suicide. He disrobed himself and lay down with two gas jets opened. He was found dead the next morning with a note by his side, written to his parents and one to the police. He expressed great solicitude for his parents, even ask d the police not to notify them until after they had eaten dinner, saying, 'l do not want to spoil their dinner. He expressed himself as a victim of dissipation, and the prey of saloon keepers. Although they knew l was a minor they sold me liquor. Reader can you enter into the young mans agony of soul? Can you realize the sad ness caused by the passing away of young life out of your home? A life which was made to live it's three score years and ten, of use- fuiness, happiness and helpful ness. Can you in any measure conceive of the burning thirst that almost consumed him, yea,
 that did consume him? If not, Just sit down and draw the pie ture of your own son falling a victim to this slave holder with his thousands of cat ot -nine-tails.
 What would you do? Wouldn't you wake up to the duty of for ever removing the temptation

out of his way? Remember youth is so thoughtless. The paths are so slippery for their untried feet. Isn't it the duty of the United States to do like Gladstone said, Make it just as hard as possible for people to do wrong, and as easy as possible for them to do right" If we could just persuade people that the best and only way by which to govern their actions toward a thing is to bring it home to them- selves. Do this and I'll wager a good deal that such a thing as a whisky den will not live long in their com nunity or state.
 Let us take care of those weak ones who by environment are led into paths that are un- safe, and that makes of what should be a brilliant and suc- cessful career, a sad and unhap- py wreck, with only the sting of remorse and regrot ever burning in it's bosom.

Bad Forest Fires

The dry weather Of last week was a
forest fire breeder and many narrow
escapes from serious loss were recorded.
A big fire originated out in the Har-
bour neignborhood and swept south
east across the adjoining lands On
the Koepeke farm the building which
Herman Buenger had erected for
summer camp was totally destroyed by
the flames
The lire then sped ON and entered
the big cnoppings Of Thos. Conlin west
OF the Dunn mine. The brush and
limbs were very dry and soon one Of
tile hercest fires ever seen out there was
raging. Adam Sherwood. who owns
what is left on the land and the old
camps, fought hard to keep the fire
away from his farm buildings which
adjoin the choppings. He had n gang
of men working all day and succeeded
in saving the camps and turning the
fire back from his farm buildings Mr..
Silverwood was on duty all day and
long into the night before he ceased
work He thought best to remain and
watch the fire and sat down close to
the old camps and dropped off to sleep.
When ne awoke the lire had crept mp
70 within few feet of him and had
gained more headway He hustled out
the.men and by strenuous efforts sue
ceeded in turning IL back again when
the rains of Monday quenched the
flames.
North of the city the fires ragged
fiercely at Holmes lake and at Balsam
The fire threatened at one time TO burn
up much OF the timber and wood of
Mr.. Conlin at the present scene of his
operations but the crew was on hand
and fought them back
East of the city the fire burned along
the railroad track and destroyed many
ties belonging to the Northwestern
railway company.
The plains south OF the city were en-
tirely fire swept from one end to the
other.
A very severe FIRE originated about
Fortune lake and burned east as far as
Dan Ross place. West it spread
through the Poyseor farm to Frank
vanderpool's homestead. Much vaIu-
able timber was detroyed out in that
neighborhood.
