turned up in the town.
"Wha attracted most attention and
aroused suspicion was that I had on a silk
hat and long coat and brought down wateI
in rubber bottles frozen, and also a jug OF
warm coffee. Mr.. Halstead had wrapped
this coffee jug in a lot of blankets and II
had remained warm all through the trip,
while the water not wrapped froze.

"All this balloon experimenting was

had a better than Zeppelin airship ten
lines over then, but / did not have the

engine of today instead of wind airships

but it weighed more than my 100 horse

First Long Voyage.
IT mad my first long trip in an alrship
of my own invention at the request of
Prof. Joseph Henry, then secretary of the
Smithsonian. l had built a number of the
and equipped them with scien-
tifio implements. with a view to establish
ing a United States weather bureau, and
also to test the theory of an easteriy upper
current that 1 had advanced to the scien
tific men Of the day as a tenable hypothe-
sis and an economic measure.
1T was my intention to start from New
York or Philadelphia, but Prof. Henry took
a strong interest in the trip and had given
me every evidence Of his friendship, and
when he requested me to make a trial
trip at first from the western country to
the Atlantic or over land 1 agreed to 1t.
II took my apparatus to Cincinnati and
prepared for the trip there, You may re-
member that Admiral Farragut said that
the most alarming feature Of the war
was the dinners he had to eat after It in
his great trip around the world. My case
was very much similar, as 1 was feted and
dined to such an extent that 1t was a
serious matter.
zone night Murat Halstead, the editor
OF the Commercial. gave me a dinner. at
which were the most distinguished scien,
lists OF that part OF the country, and
speeches We're made on my proposed triI
and no end OF interest aroused. In the
course OF the dinner a messenger came In
and reported that the wind we had beer

blowing.
This broke up the dinner. I rushed FOL

and was captured by a company Of soldiers
about two years afterward.
In 1865 a similar attack was made upon
a family by the name OF Ward. This
time the Indians seemed peaceful and sat
down and smoked Mr.. Wards pipe. Fl
nally they caught Ward off his guard and
shot him. The boy started to run and
was shot in the neck, but not killed. He
had presence OF mind enough to lay quiet
so was the only one left TO tell the tale,
Mrs. Ward was captured, as was most
always the custom. and everything of
value was stolen. The settlers followed
her for three days by means Of little
strips of her clothing that she had torn
off to leave a trail. Finally the Indians,
evidently discovering what she was do
ing, divided and went three ways. The
settlers, knowing what this meant, dis
continued the chase, and nothing has ever
been heard of Mrs. Ward.
Again in May, 1866, five nelghbors, Wal
ter Haynes, Lew Castle, Mr.. Talmage
and the two Collins brothers, went forty
miles west OF Concordia on a buffalo hunt.
After five days absence. the settlers, be-
comlng alarmed at their long stay, went
out to find what was the matter. They
found their trail and evidence OF a fight
and finally found all five Of their bodies
in a bend on Granny creek. They buried
them there temporarily and in the late
fall vent out and brought them home for
their families to place in their own grave
yards.
Thus have I tried In my weak way to
tell you something Of the hardships OF this
once wild country. At this distance of
time 1t is. perhaps, almost inconceivable
that these events could have taken place
here, where so many people dwell secure

The Overland 1o1Os.

Henry H. Van Brunt, the head Of the

hat the Overland is the greatest car he

in the best cars OF all types. and he likes
the Overland better than anything for the
money. The Overland is sold now in Ne

lar favor in this part of the country it's
