won the cup or not, l entered into the race
for the sport and 1 rave the satisfaction
Of knowing that I made the longest flight.
1--WE left st. Louis at 1850 o'clock Monday
afternoon, the second to go up, and landed
at Waukon, near Mile Lac, at 9:35 o'clock
Wednesday morning. L attribute my sue
cess to the fact that l kept close to the
ground, while the others took high alti-
tudes. The trip was an uneventful one, ex-
cept that we circled over Glasgow, Mo,
three times on account Of adverse cur
rents, and we thought we were hoodooed
there.
Fast Trip Across Iowa.
We threw over everything we could to
get higher and began to head for Kansas
City. We thought we were going to sweep
across Nebraska, but during the night a
northern breeze caught us and we began to
cross Iowa like a streak, Tuesday night.
When daylight came we hardly knew
where we were. We must have travelled
at a rate Of fifty miles an hour for a time.
when we got into the vicinity of Mile
Lac lake, we thought 1t Lake Superior. We
were about 1000 feet up and did not think
1t safe to cross. We shouted to a farmer
to learn our location and he told us what
county we were in, but that did not help
us as our map did not show counties He
informed us that we would be safe in
crossing, but as we had only an orange
between us in the way of food and as we
were hungry, having had nothing to eat
since the afternoon before, we decided to
land. We shot toward land at a terrific
rate, but landed in some marsh grass in
good condition"

Woman's Work
Activities Of the Organised
BODIES Along the Lines OF IN
deFtaking OF Concern to Women.

one OF the Important matters that will
come before the convention Of the Ne
braska Federation of Women's Clubs next
week, at Lincoln. will be the scholarship
at the University OF Nebraska for the
daughter OF a club woman. to be provided
by the club women of the state. 1t had
been hoped by the educational committee Of
the federation to extend this privilege this
fall In time 80 that the beneficiary might
enter the university at the beginning of
the term. Failure of the clubs to respond
with their pledges, however, made this
impossible, so the matter will be presented
again at the Lincoln meeting. 1t was an
nounced by the educational committee that
$3.50 would be necessary TO establish the
scholarship. and IL was proposed to raise
the money by a voluntary per capita tax
of 5 cents in all the clubs OF the state.
Only ten clubs. including the Omaha and
Lincoln organizations, responded. The other
clubs Of the state were not heard from,
While q scent per capita tax may seem but
q trif1e to ask. Il should be by
those who have criticized that It is also one
OF the most popular systems OF raising
money and, is used by many other organ
izatIons Of the states besides the clubs. In
consequence the average club woman's as
sessment during the year frequently
amounts to a great deal more than 8 cents
The educational COMMITTEES appreciates this
fact, so deemed II best to have the schol-
arship thoroughly understood so that the
women might be prepared to meet its de-
mand.

Trusty Prisoner Escapes.

With only three months yet to serve
before the expiration Of his sentence, a
Douglas county convict named w. II.
time, made his escape on Tuesday from
the custody of State Penitentiary Steward
s. p. Carlin and has not yet been recap
tured. The steward brought him to Lin
coin that day to have his eye treated for
a cataract or some similar trouble. Holmes
was taken to the office Of an oculist in
the Richards block, and as the latter was
not in at the time Steward Carlin went
across to Rudge & Guenzels to buy some
blankets, leaving the prisoner in the Of
flee. When he returned, Holmes was not
there. Photographs of the convict ave
been sent out to officers all over this part
Of the state, but no tidings of him has
been received. Warden smith is inclined
to thing he may be hiding somewhere in
Lincoln.
Holmes was found guilty of embezzle-
ment from an estate while acting as its
lawyer. His sentence was fixed at two
years. During the last seven months he
has been working on the outside of the
prison enclosure most Of the time and
showed no disposition to escape. 1t was
for this reason that the steward left him
alone at the oculist's office. If Holmes is
recaptured, he will lose the good time
which was credited to him and will have
to serve about six months more.
