go towards making the fair this year
an unqualified success.
Harry Ginter, the aeronaut, is here
getting his Strobel dirigibIe bali0n in
readiness to make sensational flights.
An ordinary balloon ascension is al
ways the big attraction at a fair, es-
pecially among the younger genera
ton, but at this time, due to the fact
that Topekans have recently seen what
the aeroplane can do, will it be par
ticularly interesting to observe the
feats of iighter-than-air machine
which is hoisted skyward by gas and
pushed through space at a rapid pace
by a powerful motor.
Fly Around Dome Sunday.
According to the contract with the
Strobel company a flight around the
state house dome on Sunday is to be
made or all pay forfeited. There
should be no trouble about making
this trip said Ginter today. 'As l
have made much longer trips in this
machine. and then am told that the
winds in this section of the country
are more certain than in Oklahoma
where L have been making series of
flights"
When asked if he would carry pas
sengers on any of his flights Ginter
replied, NO, they are excess baggage
and in the road
The gas bag of the machine is 90 feet
long and has a diameter of IA feet.
Five hundred yards of silk was used
in its construction.
The frame which holds the motor
a five horsepower Indian twin cylin-
der AFFAIRS made of spruce timber
and is 80 feet long, and weighs but
rs pounds.
The propeller has two nine foot
blades and is capable of attaining a
speed of $50 revolutions a minute. The
lifting power of the aircraft is 325
pounds.
1t takes ten hours to fill the bag
with hydrogen was manufactured by a
private gas machine.
The load which the aviator carries
is not heavy as he weighs but 120
pounus am he carries 40 pounds of
ballast with him.
Make Flight at Night.
The night flights of the balloon
should be sensational in the extreme.
The big searchlight will play on the
air craft in its upward flight and those
who have seen similar evening flights
where the searchlight is employed say
that the effect is most weird.
1t has been found that the new live
stock pavilion will be entirely made
quate for housing the exhibits, and ex-
ira sheds will spring up as though by
magic. Due to the fact that but one

the capacity of the barn will not be so

be exhibited. There is space for 474
animals.

put together last year. 1t wouldn't do
to tell too much about the exhibits be-
forehand, but suffice it to remark that
this exhibit is a dandy.
The head of a horse and that of a
bull have been cleverly worked IN
grains and grasses, and other counties
will have to "go some if they get up

One of the features of the dairy de-
partment which will attract the most
attention will be the COW Of butt sr
which is being exhibited under the
head of ornamental displays by the
Continental Creamery company.
The frame work is already completed
and the moulding in butter will be done
tomorrow afternoon. 1t will be just

were a real animal it would weigh

Good of Crime Publicity.

Whenever newspaper prints the
news about some mans rascality and
downfall, there is always more or less
condemnation of its course.
"Whats the use of publishing crime
and scandal" says the critics.
whats the use of adding to the al
ready great unhapp iness the innocent
by publicity"
The newspapers themselves have al
ways made good and sufficient answer
on the ground that public policy de-
mands publicity for wrongdoing, but
because they are directly interested
their answer has not always been given
due consideration. 1t is worth while,
therefore, to direct attention to a not
able defense of newspaper publicity for
crime by man outside of the business,
and in splendid position to know where
of he speaks State Attorney John +,
Wayman of Chicago.
Speaking to the members of promI-
nent Illinois press association this
week. Mr.. Wayman said, among other
things:
"Some people think that crime ano
scandal should not be published. Every
political CRATER would subscribe to this
doctrine.
"Many a man breads prison tern
less than he breads the publication of tho
fact in the newspaper.
1.-The honest newspaper does more t.
prevent crime than all the agencies OF
government.
''Tl. light turned or by the newspa

No crook can ever do much damag'

is prohibited. Though sometimes they
