Putting In Cement Walks

Even the downtown district mas
caught the habit and has begun the
installation of cement walks. The
Tark Merchandise company has let
a contract to the Stukey company fo'
their entire block, which will bring
all that side of the street up to
g,ade. an improvement much need e
ed. If other merchants would raise
or lower their walks to grade II
would add greatly to the metropoli-

A BIG CROWD ATTENDED
The Band Concert In General Office
Park Last Night-Tag Day Not
Very Successful.

A very large number of people were
in the General Office Park last night
to enjoy the second open air concert
by the Queen City Concert Band, and
the people seemed to enjoy the pro-
gram. The band boys are just a lit
tie disappointed at the outcome of
their tag sale. They hoped in this
way to get a small amount from many
people as a means of providing the
means of paying the expenses of the
concerts, but for some reason the re-
Spouse has not been very generous
and only a nominal amount has been
collected. The band boys want to
continue the concerts, but cannot do
so unless the people are willing to
help bear the expense. Another eff
fort will likely be made to dispose of
tags, and on the result of the new eff
fort will depend the future of the
concerts.

ficer shall issue a warrant for the ap
prehension of the person alleged to
be a vagrant.
Section 3. All information charging
vagrancy shall be under oath, and
while it is made the special duty of
the officers named in Section 2 here
of to file the said information when
ever they shall have knowledge or
good reason to suspect that any per-
son is vagrant as defined by any
clause or section of this act, yet any
information charging vagrancy may
be filed under oath. by any resident
of the state.
Section T. Whenever any. person
shall have been arrested on charge
of vagrancy, he shall Immediately be
carried before any court having juris-
diction of the offense herein named,
and, upon conviction thereof, shall be
fined in any sum not to exceed two
hundred dollars.
Section s. If any of the officers
named in Section 2 of this act shall
fail, refuse, or neglect to perform the

START FOR THE POLE SOON
Walter WeIImaR and Party Will Start For The
North Pole Within Next Few Weeks.

Wellman undertaking. First, the YER
teal stability of his airship, as affect
ed by heat, cold and precipitation, and
controlled by guide rope and ballast;
second, the possibility of successful
anchorage during high winds. A bal
loon is necessarily a very delicately
balanced instrument A ray of sun
shine, puff of cold or warm wind, a
touch of damp mist, causes the bal
loon to rise or fall. 1t is most essen
tial in a protracted voyage to keep
the balloon at an even height. This
the heavy guide rope does. Trailing
along the ground or in the sea, it
keeps the balloon down, since, when
the ariship has a tendency to rise, it
has to lift more and more of the
weight of the rope On the other
hand, as the balloon descendes, it is
relieved of the weight. The guide
rope is also of some service in steer
ing the unstable craft.
But there are other factors involved
in the problem of vertical stability.
, The shade and sun temperature
change more or less, the former
slightly, the latter in greater meas
ure.- There is a certain loss of gas
by leakage through the envelope go
ing on constantly, perhaps one to one
and half per cent every twenty-four
hours. There may be an accumula-
ton of frost, sleet or moisture upon
the airship amounting to several hun
dreds of pounds in an hour or two.
| In operation the motor is consuming
fuel at the rate, perhaps, of 800 to
1000 pounds in twenty-four hours. Or
the motor may not be running on ac-
count of adverse winds, and yet the
other conditions may obtain. That is,
the airship may lose a considerable
part of it's ascensional force through
cold and loss of gas at the very time
when, instead of dropping weight to
correspond through consumption of
gasolene, it is actually gaining weight
through accumulation of frost and
snow. Again, the reverse may be
true-a considerable gain of volume
and lift force at the very time the
motors are rapidly reducing the
weight of the cargo. Mr.. Wellman
ms to have discovered the soIu-
Ton of this important and delicate
problem in physics If he has, the
possibilities of the success of his dar-
ing adventure are greatly increased.

CHerald Specially


Paris, June 19.-Walter Wellman
and the members of his Arctic expedi-
ton are now on their way to Thorn
soc, Norway, from which point, if con-
ditions are favorable, the start for
the North Pole will be made within
the next few weeks. The mammoth
balloon, in which the Arctic voyage
ton are now on their way to from
soc. Several weeks will be required
in putting together the frame and adj
justing the mechanical parts.
French scientists are greatly inter-
ested in the Wellman undertaking.
Practically all of the parts of the
mammoth airship in which the voyage
is to be undertaken were made in
Paris. All of the preliminaries have
been followed with keen interest
here, particularly by the Society of
Aerial Navigation.
Expert opinion differs as to the
feasibility of reaching the North Pole
by balloon. CHANGING at the pre-
cedents for some standard by which
to measure the Wellman project, one
turns naturally to Andree's Inflated
balloon trip. After some two years
of elaborate preparation the start was
made on July IL, 1897, from Danes
Island, Spitzbergen, with three men
on board and provisions for several
months. A strong steady wind from
the south was blowing-what the
party had waited impatiently for
since the early summer of the pre-
vious year. The balloon sailed away
to the northeast and finally out of
sight. Four days later a carrier pig
con alighted on the rigging of sail
ing vessel near Spitzbergen, bearing
the only word that has ever been re-
ceived from the daring adventures.
The balloon started in a twenty
five mile an hour wind, blowing in a
northerly direction. Had the wind
held true at noon the second day out,
he should have been $50 miles the
other side of the pole, which he
would have passed at distance of
lperhaps 100 miles on his left But,
Rs to the message received by
pigeon, he was actually
at noon of the second day, only ~
miles north and forty-five miles east
of the point of departure. The prob
ability is that the balloon came down
in the ocean to the southeast of Spitz-
bergen. When he was asked a few
days before his start what would hap
pen if they descended in the sea, the
adventurer replied, cody, Drown
which they probably did. But it
.should be remembered that Andree's
balloon had neither proplusive force
of its own nor steering device, ex-
cept the common guide rope. 1t was,
as Wellman has said, "a mere toy of
the winds"

Mr.. Walter Varrah, the well known
dairyman, in commenting on the re-
port as to tuberculosis in COWS in this
section, offers the following letter
from DR.. David Roberts. Veterinary
Company of Waukesha, Wis, to show
that his COWS have no such symp-
toms:
81 have your temperature chart,
and from this report that you have
sent in, find according to this that
none of the ten COWS that you have
tested have reacted to the tuberculo-
sis test, and therefore show that they
are free from the disease of tubercu-
losis."

little note to the County Republican:
Mr. and Mrs. Sayhogan gave a de-
lightful draw bridge party Wednes-
day night in their beautiful mort
gagged home on Broad street. The
long room was cleared of its junk,
and all the silverware the charming
hostess could borrow was displayed.
The lights were turned out about 7
o'clock by the electric light company.
Mr. Sayhogan rented a dress suit for
the occasion. Mrs Sayhogan wore a
beautiful dress, which she got on the
installment plan. The event was the
greatest pulled off in the town for
some time, and everybody voted the
Sayhogans the nerviest people ever

1t was wrapped in a mans shirt and
an old skirt. The Waterman carried
it to the home of the fireman of the
