OPPOSE SUNDAY FUNERALS.
The Fort Scott Ministers Union Dis.
cusseS the Question.

Fort Scott, Kan, Jan. 27-The
ministers union of Fort Scott met
with the undertakes and took up the
discussion as to the advisability of
not holding funeral services on the
Sabbath day. The sense of the
meeting was that the day should not
be a day of funerals and at later
meeting it may be that the meeting
will adopt resolutions favoring hold
ing funerals at another day of the
week The ministers do not want the
impression cast abroad that they
would for an instant refuse to con-
duct a funeral ann ounced for Sunday,
but prefer to have the Sunday
funeral custom broken up if they are
capable of bringing about a satisfac-
tory change. $500

HIS MACHINE FLEW.
G. NJ. Vaniman of Mcpherson Make
Successful Flight.

Z. NJ. Vaniman of Mcpherson Makes
Successful Flight.
Mcpherson, kan, Jan. Chichester
MelVin Nanlman, a Mcpherson man
now in Paris, has invented a flying ma
chlne with which he has made sue
ceSSTul night. Mr.. Vaniman is widely
known here, where a. number of his
relatives live. 1t was Mr.. Vaniman
who planned and built the engine that
was to take Walter Wellman on his
trip TO the North pole. The Scientific
American in it's issue of January %,
gives the following account of Vaniman
and his machine:
Another new machine which has
recently flown successfully in France is
the three-decker of Melvin Vaniman.
This is not the first aeroplane of this
type to be experimental with, but it
is, we believe, the first one which has
made really successful flight. Above
the parade grounds at Issy Les Mol1-
neaux December 18 last it flew dis
lance of 492 feet.
Starts From a Track.
Although the aeroplane is mounted
upon four wheels, Mr.. Vaniman never
theless uses the Wright brothers sys-
tenn of starting from rails, but in his
case track is laid for the aeroplane
to run upon, instead of making use OF
a single rail and a special carriage The
aeroplane rose by its own power, and
behaved well in the air
The Vaniman three-decker has
both its horizontal and vertical rudders
placed well out in front. The hori-
zontal rudder is about on a level with
the middle plane, while the vertical
rudder is placed between this plane
and the upper one, we'll out in front,
and a tail with horizontal vertical sur
faces is placed on the same horizontal
line at the rear. There are also auxi1-
iary planes or wing-tips at the ends
of the middle plane for the purpose OF
maintaining the transverse equili-
brium.
Frame Work Is of Steel.
''The machine is equipped with an s.
cylinder Antoinette motor of from
sixty to eighty horsepower. The two
bladed propeller is directly connected
to the crank shaft. A pair of hori-
zontal radiators are mounted on level
with the top of the. motor, one on each
side of it. The aviator sits on seat
arranged in front of the motor, and
controls the rudder and eQualizing
planes by two levers.
''The distinctive feature of the aero
plane is the fact that the framework
is constructed of steel tubing. 1t is the
its framework made of this material.
The advantages of the triple surface
aeroplane consist chiefly in shortening
of the planes, and thus in making of
less cumbersome machine. Compared
with the Farman or the Wright aero
plane, Vaniman'S machine Is several
feet narrower. 1t is a very Symmetri-
cal and rigid appearing structure. We
have no doubt that before long a ma
chine of this type will make successful
and extended flights

1t was no surprise that "Big Bill"

an assured fact it seemed that he
would be manager here this year. He
may be yet, for Bill wishes to manage
the club. His home is here, he owns
his property and does not wish to
leave. There is a slight difference as
to salary, very little difference. and
it is likely that this will be fixed up.
