wing of his machine crumpled like q
piece of paper, Ralph tombstone, the
brilliant young aviator. holder OF the
worlds altitude record, dropped like
a plummet from height of 500 feet
into the enclosure at Overland PARK

lie had gambled with death once
too often, but he played the game to
the end fighting cody and grimly to
the last second to regain control OF
his broken machine.
Fresh from his triumphs of Bel
mont Park, where he had broken the
worlds record for altitude, with a
flight OF OLA feet, Johnstone at
tempted to give the thousands OF
spectators who stood with craned
necks to watch him. an extra thrill
with his most daring feat. the spiral
glide which had made the Wright
aviators famous.
Spectators Get Thrill
The spectators got their thrill, but
it cost Johnstone his life.
The fatal fight was the second
that Johnstone had made this after
noon In the first flight. when he
was in the air with Hoxsey and
Brookins, he had gone through his
usual program OF dips and glides with
his machine apparently under perfect
control Then tombstone rose again
and after a few circuits OF the course
TO gain heat, he started for the foot
hills Still ascending he swept back
in a big circle and as he reached the
north end Of the enclosure he started
his spiral glide He was then at an
altitude of about 500 feet With his
planes tilted at an angle of almost W
degrees, he swooped down in mar
row circle, the aeroplane seeming to
turn almost in its own length.
Middle Spur Gives Way
As he started the second circle, the
middle spur, which braces the lett
side of the lower plane, gave way. and
the wing tips of both upper and low
cr palnes folded up as though
they had been hinged. For 4
second Johnstone attempted to right
the plane by warping the otner wing
tip Then the Mortified spectators
saw the plane swerve like wounded
bird and plunge straight toward the
earth
Johnstone was thrown from his
seat as the nose of the plane swung
downward. He caught on one side ot
the wire staps between the plane and
prasped one of the wooden braces OF
the upper plane with both hands and
feet. he sought by main strength to
warp the planes, so that their surfaces
might catch the air and check tnc de-
scent.
For second it seemed to the
white-faced spectators under HIM that
he might succeed. for the football
helmet he wore blew off and fel
much more rapidly than the plane.

patronized by people buying Rexall
Remedies. al Of which proves that
this store has the confidence Of the
people and that honesty is the best
policy.
There is no 'cure-all'' among the
Rexall Remedies. There are diff
ferent and separate medicines, each
one devised for a certain human all
ment or class Of ailments closely
allied. For instance Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets are recommended
for the positive relief Of stomach ir-
ritation, indigestion, flatulency and
dyspepsia. They are rich in Bis
muth.Subnitrate, Pepsin and Car
initiatives. They are prepared by
special processes which perfect and
enhance the great remedial value of
these well-known medicinal agents.
This remedy sells for Is cents, SO
cents, and. $l.00 per package.
Every one suffering from stomach
disorder should try Rexall Dyspep-
STA Tablets, inasmuch as they cost
nothing if they do not satisfy.
Remember. Barker's Drug Store
is the only store in Bemidji where
these remedies may be obtained,
and every one in need of medicine
is urged to investigate and take adj
vantage Of the frank and generous
manner in which they are sold.
