Trial Flight January 10.

David Smith of Deverre, Neb., in
ventor of flying machine now being
made in Norfolk, says he is ready now
to state that his machine will be a sue
cess and that his first trial trip in
Norfolk will take place January 10.
THE reason why l say my machine
will fly" said Mr.. Smith, sis simply
that it has already proved a success.
Sometime ago l built wooden model
of this same identical machine and in
the trial flight it left the ground and
proved satisfactory.
Il have decided to make the first
trial of my first model of light steel
tube machine in Norfolk January 10.
The machine is very nearly completed
now except the wing. After the tlial
fight | will be ready to guarantee the
people of Norfolk that inside of two
months / will be ready to have finished
number of machines that | can guar
antee will fly. l expect, If everything
turns out right, to build all my ma
chimes in Norfolk, provided am treat
ed right. l am we'll known in Madi-
son county. The money am spending
on this machine has been earned by
me here and in other Nebraska coun-
ties. l have shucked corn all over
Madison county"
Smith says that, although he is a
North Carolinian by birth, he has lived
for many years in Nebraska and will
give this state credit for all his in
ventions. He believes he will convince
those people here who hold no faith in
his venture that they are wrong. On
January 10, when he will make his
flight, they will change their minds, he
says.
Mr.. Smith went to Deverre Wednes-
day evening to spend Christmas with
mis- parents. He took few parts of
his machine with him to show his
friends.

neck, chief of the division of music
of the library of congress, who has
just issued from the government press
an exhaustive report on four famous
American musical compositions.
Yankee Doodle" he says, though
no longer national song, is still a
national air and second only to Dixie
in the popularity contest.
The origin and evolution of Yankee
Doodle" Star Spangled Banner,
Hail Columbia" and America" are
treated in full detail in Mr.. Sonnecks
volume, and facsimiles of the original
manuscripts are given.
Daniel Decatur Emmett died in pow
erty at Mount Vernon, o., three years

his day. His greatest were Dixie
and "Old Dan Tucker" He received
$500 for Dixie" and 800 for "Old
Dan Tucker" Charles X. Harris made
$4,000 from after the Ball The
contrast is a striking one.
In 1859 Emmett was singing with
Dan Bryant's negro minstrels on low

had been dragging, and Bryant thought
he saw disaster ahead. One Saturday
he told Emmett that he must have

The war cloud burst the next week

Gregory County Land Mix.up.

Bone~ teel, s. D.. Dec. 27.-Special to
The News: Considerable excitement
is evident in this part OF the county
over the many quit claim deeds that
have been placed on record against
some of the best farms In the county.
II seems that fellow from the east
side of the river discovered plan
whereby he could acquire an equity
in some of the best farms in Gregory
county. and the result OF his plan
came to light when some few weeks
ago number of quit claim deeds
were recorded with the register OF
deeds at Fairfax. The plan Of this new
supposed graft is this: Several OF
the original entry men who made
proof on their homesteads in Gregory
county sold them to persons who re-
quired an abstract showing clear title
In the land and now when they come
to transfer the land they find quit
claim deed given by the same person
that gave them the warranty deed, to
this CRATER that procured the quit
claim deed under the guise of clear.
the land owners in the county have
been worried over the acts of this
supposed CRATER and in many cases
1t is believed that the quit claim deed
is a cloud on the title of their farm.
There are some instances where the
land Is sold under contract with the
agreement to furnish clear title, that
may be held up for some time until
they are made familiar with the facts
that it is no cloud on the title to their
land, but no doubt there will be both
civil and criminal litigation over the
supposed title as the citizens Of the
county are fred at the action of such
a bold graft.

| one of the most daring and successful
operators of the century in the cotton
market.
Dan" Scully, meteoric and spectacu-
lar as was his career, was lured to
his destruction by that will o. the wisp
fatal to so many, "cornering" the mar
ket, but big Gene" Scales, baptized
Eugene, has steered clear of that pro-
position. His bank role today is close
to the five million dollar mark, If
not beyond it. The greater portion of
it was made this year.
Scales and his associates, w. p.
Brown, James A. Patten, the Chicago
wheat operator, who has almost dou-
bled in cotton the millions he made
in wheat last spring, and Frank Hayne
of New Orleans-the "big four" of
the New York cotton market-compris-
ing the most powerful bull clique the
country has ever seen, have made
about fifteen million dollars this year.
Cotton, in the more active months, is
now selling at sixteen cents pound,
the highest price since the Scully days
and double the price of year ago.
OF these four men, Scales is the
most picturesque, as well as most
daring, in his operations. He is the
leader of the cotton game. In the
frequent conferences of the "big four"
his is the last word. Time and again
in the last three months, when cotton
touched new high records and this
was followed by heavy liquidations,
his associates became somewhat
alarmed. But Scales advice to "sit
fast, hold tight and don't rock the
boat" prevailed, with the result that
the four have almost been submerged
in the golden flood that has swept
swiftly upon them.
Two years ago Scales hit New York
penniless. His sole asset was a dia-
mond ring. He pawned it for $3.50
and drifted into Wall street. He start
ed at once and has won from the
start.

frequently travelled made the best

The merchants enjoyed fine trade
and the close of business Saturday

not, in number of instances, reach
the expectation of the merchants, ow-

the same time they are quite salts
