BIG FLYING FEAT
Hamilton, the Aviator, Per-
forms Startling Exploits
on Hampstead Plain.
SPECTACULAR IN EXTREME
Made His Aeroplane Dive and Dip
Like a Swallow-Tricks With
Horse, Dog and Man.

Charles X. Hamilton, the aviator,
with his aeroplane did almost every
thing except turn somersaults in the
air over the aviation field at Hemp
stead Plains, near Mineola, n. Y, late
the other afternoon. For about forty
minutes this lightweight aviator, who
tips the scales at 10 pounds. perform
ed capers that caused women to wave
their handkerchiefs and men to take
off their hats.
While Hamilton was the star of the
occasion, both Captain Thomas s.
Baldwin and Joseph Seymour made
flights. At times the three machines
were doing stunts over different parts
Of the course. and the counter attrac-
lions proved almost as diverting as
three ring circus. Seymour was the
first to start. At o'clock with his.
yellow f1ier he made two good circles
of the track. 1t was $40 before the
Hamilton machine was properly tuned
up and ready for the air. Hamilton
pulled off his flying toggery, mounted
the seat and posed for a photograph.
Then he braced his feet and took a
short run and was off for a joy ride.
The trim little racer darted to an alti-
tude of fifty or sixty feet and then
gradually arose higher and higher un-
til the altitude was estimated at more
than 500 feet. Hamilton swung his
machine around the course with the
grace of swallow and passed over
the aerodrome, making a dive of about
200 feet and causing the crowd to
scatter in fear. He suddenly made an
upward sweep to an altitude of sew
eral hundred feet and turned in the
his machine and few to the center of
the field and executed a spectacular
glide to the ground.
Scared High In the Air.
Both Mrs. III. NJ Beudette, mother
of Mr.. Hamilton, and the aviator's
wife saw his exhibitions in an aero
plane.
The fuel tank was ref1lled, and Ham
ilton prepared for another fight.
Now he is going to do something
big" said Mrs. Hamilton, with pride,
as he resumed his seat in the machine,
and. sure enough, he did. He flew TO a
height estimated at from 800 to 1000
feet and made dives to within fifteen
or twenty feet Of the ground. This
time he remained aloft SO minutes and
seconds, covering a distance of
twenty-five miles. He circled over the
Nassau courthouse, then turned in
the direction of Garden City and few
over a church spire and thep paid his
resnects TO Meadowbrook He disap-
peared from view and attempted a
fight across the sound. but presently
In the distance a speck was visible
against the sky, and it grew larger
and larger as the machine winged

MOLINE MAN FOUND
In STUPOR ON STREET
Joe BoIle Lying at Police Headquar-
tiers in a Precarious Con-
dition.

Joe Bolle, Belgian who is unable
to make himself understood in the
English language, is lying at the po-
lioe station in a very precarious con-
dition. He was found in a stupor
early this morning at the corner of
Nineteenth street and Fourth ave-
nue. and it is believed that drink is
only partly responsible for his con-
dition. He submitted to an opera
tion only short time ago and the
wound has not healed up thoroughly
Last Saturday he was picked up in
practically the same condition aud
taken to the hospital for treatment.
but it seems that he got away from
there at once. The police are trying
to get the Moline authorities to take
charge of him, as he is a resident Of
that city.

Walkind.

The Almighty has not freighted the
foot with a single superhuous part.
Every inch of every foot is meant for
use. When a man walks in the right
way, speaking literally. the back of the
heel strikes the ground first. Then the
rest of the heel comes down. after
which the outer edge of the foot takes
the bulk of the burden until the for
ward movement shifts the weight to
the ball of the foot and finally to the
toes. The ideal step is a slightly rock
ing motion. At no time should the en-
tire foot be pressed against the ground.
Heel to toe is the movement. Try 1t
and see how much farther and more
easily you can walk. It's the Indians
way, and what poor Lo doesn't know
about footwork can go into the discard.

Director ]. B. Burrows of the Illinois

OlTcCtOI u. d. ouAlOnS "a IhO AAiLAOho
Farmers Institute, who is also
school director in Macon county, and
whose peculiar success in going into
rural schools to give lessons in agrt-
culture and getting 25 other directors
to do the same, was told in previous
letter, has by request explained a more
recent object lesson in iron work to
show what can be done. He has a
small portable forge, anvil, wise and
necessary tools which he carries in
his buggy and uses in giving outdoor
demonstrations at schools. When he
was called to the Cross Roads school
it was pouring down rain and he was
compelled to go indoors. He could not
use a fire in the forge, but he showed
the use Of the tools and did some iron
work without heat. He showed the
boys how TO tell the difference between
different kinds of iron and steel, and
explained the value of knowing the
different sizes of round iron, bolts,
rods, etc.
Cutting Section from Mower Sickle.
When he asked any of the boys to
come forward and use the tools in TAX
ing a section from a mower sickle, two
came up and tried all sorts of ways,
showing that they had never learned
anything about such work. They could
scarcely use a hammer. much less a
cold chisel or punch, and the instruc-

fits way back to the flying field. A
wild cheer broke from the crowd as
the mechanical bird scared overhead.
Then Hamilton proceeded to give an
exhibition of fancy flying. He made
circle after circle of the course, vary
ing his altitude from 800 to IS feet.
Once he few so low as to put dog
to fright, and again he made a dip
over the Baldwin aeroplane, which
was in fight. that caused the spec
tators to hold their breath. In making
one Of his fantastic dives over group
of persons who were watching his
maneuverS the machine tilted in
fashion that caused some lively sour
rying. Edgerton Winthrop, who was
on horseback. didn't waste any time
getting out of the way.
Hamilton caught his balance and be-
gan playing hide and seek over the
buildings and telegraph wires. He
ended his aerial whirl with a glide
of 200 or 500 feet, and the machine
settled on its three wheels with the
grace Of bird alighting on its feet.
Played Antics With Horse.
The day before Hamilton also made
some startling flights. He saw horse
in a neighboring> field, and a spirit OF
mischief seized him. He swooped
down toward the horse as an eagle
would make for a victim. The horse
cavorted, snorted and tried to run.
Hamilton came within almost kicking
distance of the animal, then veered up
ward, made a circle in the air and
again made for the horse. He played
with the horse as a cat would with a
mouse. Then he shot toward the plains
again, and man who was watching.
wide eyed and open mouthed. attract
ed him. He bore his machine down
on the man ut fifty mile pace. The
man ducked; then he ran. Hamilton
played tag with him until the man
stood still. With a laugh Hamilton
rose toward the clouds.
Once he rose TO n height of GOO feet
His machine suddenly tipped almost
straight, pointed to the earth and with
it's propellers force added to the nat
ural speed of gravity shot downward.
The spectators held their breath. They
expected to see Hamilton and his aero
plane crushed. Fifty feet from the
ground the fiier changed his course and
the machine halted. turned and moved
slowly away on a perfect keel.

TAKES ANVIL TO SCHOOL
Farm

ton In the use of these tools was in
teresting to all and much appreciated.
Another feat proposed was to tight
en- the clip on a singletree, and it was
amusing to see the ways the boys tried
to do it. They drove nails in the end
Of the single tree and then wanted to
punch hole through the clip and nail
1t to the wood. This made a great
deal of fun and indicated how much
the pupils were in need of a little
practical instruction in repairs, that
might be required any day on the
farm, and that any boy or man could
learn to do well.
Mr.. Burrows says: These lads havG
never had a chance to learn the proper
way of making such simple repairs at
home, and the probability is their
fathers did not know any better" He
demonstrated the proper methods and
also gave the school a lesson in rope
splicing. knotting, halter-making, etc.
Beautiful NeighborhOOd Spirit.

nearly every man, woman and child in
the Cross Roads district attended this

Him."
is SUPPORTED BY OTHERS
George Fish, an Eyewitness OF the
Shooting, Testified That Victim
Was the Aggressor.

The defense in the John w. Halves
murder case was continued today and
the outlook for the alleged murderer
Is much brighter in consequence. Yes
terday afternoon he went on the
stand himself and told of bad blood
between himself and Peter De Coils
and endeavored to show to the jury
that he was in fear of De Coils taking
his life. Today the trend of the tes-
timony was to the effect that De Coils
made numerous threats against
Halves and that he had openly de-
clared that he was going ito get him
yet The witnesses this morning
were Fritz Grevus, Harry Fisher and
Henry Sylvester, all friends OF
Halves, who claimed to have known
of numerous times when De Coils fol-
lowed Halves, with the apparent in
tention of doing him bodily injury.
Sylvester proved an especially good
witness for the defense, his testi-
mony giving several occasions when
Halves had been followed part Of the
way from the saloon to his home In
the houseboat at the foot of Twenty
eighth street by De Coils who threat
ened to fix" or "get" him. Cross
examination failed to shake his tes-
timony.
Sees Whole Array.
George Fish, an engineer on the Rock
Island road, proved himself one of the
star witnesses for the defense this af-
ternoon. He claimed to have occupied
a room over the Buffalo saloon on the
night of the shooting and to have been
in window where he could see the
whole ARRAY His testimony was to
the effect that DeGols was the ag-
gressor and that he went after Halves
with knife.
After Fish had been cross examined,
the defense introduced numerous wit
nesses to prove that HAYES had borne
a good name previous to the shooting
ARRAY and that he was not the kind of
man who would seek out man and
wilfully murder him. The afternoon
was spent in the examination Of differ
ent of the character witnesses.

RoasP THROUGH TOWN

Some excitement was created
Monday morning whom . large.
black team Of horses owned by L.
H. Cheney dashed down First
avenue attached to q farm wagon,
but unattended by a driver. The
team was standing near the rail-
way tracks while the driver was
loading lumber, and becoming
frightened, the animals started on
q lively tour Of town. When they
reached the water tank on corner
OF First avenue and Adams street,
in ono jump they cleared the tank
completely. leaving two wheels
and the wagon bed in the water,
and were stopped ct Fassett's cor.
ner, having by that time splintsred
the running.gear Of the wagon,
but neither horse suffered . scratch.
