GOVERNMENT OWNS
FLYING MACHINE
The War and Navy Department Will
Make Experiments to. Test
their Value.

Now that the United States govern
ment owns a really and truly flying
machine in the Wright aeroplane, the
problem of ascertaining just how
valuable that invention will be as an
adjunct in war is to be determined.
AS yet neither the Wrights nor the
foreign nations which purchased their
machines have given much attention
to the utilization OF the aeroplane as
an agent of destruction. No one has
actually made the experiment of de-
termining whether it would be pos
sible, for instance. to drop a charge
of dynamite from aloft and hit
certain spot on the ground Can this
be done? Can the charge be drop
ped with any degree of accuracy?
These are just few of the new
lines of experimentation which have
suggested themselves to th1 new aer-
onautical branch of the signal corps
which will operate the aeroplane.
Lieutenants Lahm and Fouls, who
will be Wilbur Wright's pupils, and
tIie Official Shy-pliclS VI luS ARMY III
the Dayton boys biplane, are already
planning to try out the machine az
an agent of destruction. While in the
air they will try target practice in
dropping dummy shells and the like
at targets below.
The navy department, too, Is in
tensely interested in the possibilities
of the aeroplane. If it is ascertained
that an aviator can drop dynamite
with a certain degree of accuracy
from a height above reach of small
arms, and out of range of the big
guns OF a battleship, they want to
know it. There is a feeling that no
aeroplane could possibly accomplish
the destruction of a battleship by
dropping a charge of dynamite aboard,
and that the task is somewhat of a
feat is admitted, since the battleship
would be moving at different rate of
speed from the aeroplane, and no.
body knows how the air currents are
above the ocean-at least not up to
the height that an aeroplane would
necessarily have to ascend to be out
of gun range.

PASSENGERS Saw BODY.

The passengers on the steamer Co.
lumbia claim they saw the body of a
woman floating in the water about Z
o'clock last evening as the boat was
passing point about two miles north
of Nauvoo. Before the captain could
be notified the boat had swept past the
place and it was useless to go back
When the boat reached Ft. Madison,
all down river points were notified by
telephone and when the boat arrived
in Burlington Mr.. l. K. Bergdall of Mt
Pleasant went to Keokuk to conduct
the search from that point.
Many river men are of the opinion
that it would be impossible for the
body of either woman to float that
distance in that length of time Some
time ago a girl jumped off the bridge
at FIT. Madison and her body was not
recovered. This may be the body seen
by the people on the steamboat.

No Trace Of Other Bodies.


Although searching parties were out
early today between here and Fort
Madison, no trace of the bodies of Mrs
Jordan and Mrs. Conover could be
seen.
County Supt. or Schools Antrim, ac-
companied by Capt. Williamson left
before dinner for the south in DR..

The finding of the remains of Lee

Sunday Religious Warrior.
Judge Burgess characterized Rev.
w. A. Sunday as the greatest religious
warrior of modern times, and declared
that the newspapers and magazines
have failed utterly to describe the force
and power of the man and his meet
ings. The judge said he was not here
to preach a sermon, that he was not q
preacher nor in any manner related to
one, by either affinity or consanquin
ity. But he ceased being an Indian and
became a white man at Aledo, ILL.,, three
years ago, in a BILLY" Sunday meet
ing.
Hot Shots at Liquor Camp.
The speaker fired some hot shot into
the liquor camp and took up the vari-
GUS charges made against Sunday by
his enemies, fully refuting them all
Especial stress was laid upon the COM
mon charge that Sunday is a CRATER

Warns Up Church Membership.
s.My first impression of Sunday was
that he was some notoriety seeker
working some graft" said Judge Bur-
CESS. But gave up the idea that he
was mild-eyed monstrosity, and sc
will you. When he left Aledo all were
his loyal friends" The speaker dwell
upon the evangelist's tactics in the first
week or two Of a campaign, his CHIEF
aim and effort being to warm up the
church membership and enlist persona
work. The great handicap of a reviva
is the GOODNESS of the churches, the
backsliders, the suspended animation
variety, and worst of all the lhypocrites
a thousand times worse, he declared
Sundays hardest work he said, was te

Moreover, Sunday differs with some Of

Judge n. e. Burgess, Aledo, ILL.,, is
present judge of Mercer county, prom
inent as a jurist and in public life. He
is small Of stature and his left leg is
withered from the effects of paralysis
and rheumatism in early life, which
left him unable to walk or even stand
without the aid of crutches.
Despite his physical infirmities Mr.
Burgess moves about nimibly. partic-
ularly on the rostrum and is one of the
most entertaining platform speak
ers. Hurnor punctuates his utterance in
nearly every sentence, but it is of a
kind that never wearies. His argument
is direct, epigra1natic and distinctively
convincing.
AS forerunner of Evangelist Sun
day he Is veritable whirlwind, and
espouses his cause with fearless and
forceful zeal. Judge Burgess was con-
verted by Sunday three years ago al

Predicts Lively Times.
Judge Burgess declared that the
Sunday campaign here will he the
liveliest warfare ever waged in Mar
shalltown. The lines will be drawn
tight and there will be no lodging the
issue. Sunday is great leader, and
speaker, and not driver. 'If you
say Sundays converts don't stick" as
serted the speaker, you are either
mistaken, misinformed, or are wilfully
misrepresenting the facts. And will
not admit anything that is said derog.

he is cratic" He predicted that there
will be great gathering of souls as

would be seven thousand, four hundred

that as a result we will have a better,

that there will be a largely increased
attendance tonight. There will be a
song service and prayer prior to the
address. Mr.. Wilson will have charge
of the music.
On Saturday night Mr.. Fred Fischer,
