WASHINGTON, Oct. 1S.-Today the
Wright brothers, wno were the first
to sell a heavier-than-air machine to
any government, will be remunerated
with check for $4,000 from Uncle
Sam. This amount represents the con-
tract price Of $4,000 for the aeroplane
now being used in the Signal Corps
training at College Park, and a bonus
of $4,000 for having exceeded the
speed required. 1t is by far the largest
price paid for any flying machine
yet recorded. Through it the Wright
brothers dispose of none of their
rights, either in the manufacture or
exhibition. 1t simply represents the
passing of one aeroplane into govern
ment control. with an agreement upon
the part of the aviators to instruct of
ficers in it's use.

The Loss Of the House is Sadly Felt
by the Family With the Win

K LINE TRAIN DELAYED

Many people no doubt thought that
one of the biggest fires which ever
happened in Keokuk was burning
when they noticed the smoke issuing
from the little shanty owned and occu-
pied by S. VIM and family. How
ever, in spite of the density of that
medium the house which was furnish
ing the food for the flames was al
most miniature. The scene OF the blaze
was Just below the west toll house of
the Keokuk and Hamilton bridge and
that structure was endangered greatly
while the shanty was being destroyed
The cause of the conflagration is I'M
known.
The alarm was sent in about five
minutes after one and the shanty was
burning merrily when the firemen ar
rived. The hose was quickly connect
ed and dragged across the railroad
tracks to within striking distance OF
the flames which by that time were
shooting out to the distance of about
twelve feet. AS soon as the water

thought that the bridge was on fire
| Owing to the fimsy construction OIL
| the dwelling and the fact that 1t was
made entirely of wood the fire burned
merrily and was not totally subduet
for about half an hour.
The Winn family consisting of about
five people will feel the loss Of theil
house keenly with the winter coming
on Immediately upon the eXtinguish
ing of the flames they set about to re
cover everything which was not de
stroyed. They do not know how the
blaze started only knowing that i
commenced in back room. The
