New York.

New York, Aug. 1S.-Dr. and Mrs. D.
H. Woolf of Kansas City, Kan, are
not among those persons who have
complained to. the Interstate commerce
commission about the accommodations
afforded by the upper berth region OF

want to take a trip
The doctor and his wife came into
New York this afternoon on the last
lap of a tramp from Kansas City. He

1t was under the shade of Union
Square that DR.. Woolf confessed that
he composed music and that he had
made up a piece while walking along
from Kansas. He did not care to give
its name before the copyright laws had
been invoked. Also ii possessed Mrs.
Woolf to confide that she was a suf-

Moissant Is Forced to Descend
Second Time
In Trying to Complete His
Flight to London.
is NEAR TO DISASTER.
Barely Misses Descending into
Mouth of q Pit.
In Dodging Bunch Of Trees
Machine Is Wrecked.

Chatham, England, Aug. 1s.-John
B. Moissant, the Chicago aviator, who
is attempting to fly from Paris to Lon
don. descended for the second time
near here today, breaking the propel-
Ter and part of the frame of the ma
chine in making the second landing.
The broken parts must be replaced
from Paris and resumption of the
flight to London before tomorrow Is
improbable. Neither Moissant nor his
mechanician was injured in the acci-
dent.
The good fortune which accompani-
ed Moissant in the earlier stages of his
flight from Paris and in his record
breaking journey across the channel
with a passenger, seems to have de-
serted him on his arrival on English
soil.
Motor defects in the .aeroplane.
which had yesterday worked without
mishap, forced him to take. two sue
cessive landings when about half way
on the course between London and
Tilmanstone where he ascended at 4:55
this morning.
His first descent, mile from Sitting
Bourne. about 80 miles from London,
was due to the displacement of a small
pin in the mechanism entailing an inn
mediate descent. He narrowly escap-
ed disaster in landing, just missing the
mouth OF q deep pit, a Idll lnLO WHICH
would have meant death for the avi-
ator and his mechanician. Repairs to
the machine detained him nearly three
hours. He then made a second start,
but had scarcely covered ten miles
toward his goal when a second acci-
dent brought him down at Rainham,
Kent. A rod connecting up the driv-
ing gear of the aeroplane was frac-
tured, stopping the engine and fore
ing the Chicagoan to plane down inn
mediately to the ground. He landed in
field, but only skilful handling of
the aeroplane prevented its plunging
into a clump of trees.
Moissant made an abrupt turn to
escape these and the machine came
down heavily, breaking the chassis and
smashing a blade of the propeller.
Moissant and his mechanician climbed
L out uninjured but on looking over the
damage was of the opinion that the
repairs could not be accomplished on,
the spot and that they must wait for.
new parts for which they Immediately

IN Kansas, but it was some other thing
than luck that won for him his meas
ure of success. He had some solid
valuable qualities that gained for him
recognition in the first place Only the
lightning singles out men who are
absolutely commonplace. Men never
call on their fellow men without a
cause or a reason why. Luck alone
could never have held Reeder his place
so long in the Sixth district, of all con-
gressional districts in the United
States. The Sixth Kansas district is
composed of the most enlightened and
Independent class of voters taken as a
whole that can be found in the nation.
Any man who has travelled over the
Sixth district knows that the county
seat towns from Belleville to Norton
will compare favorably with the towns
of any state in the Union in progress
and public spirit and intelligence. The
Sixth district farmers read the news
papers as closely as any class of peo-
pie in the world So if Reeder was
not a fancy shooter he evidently had
the faculty of putting the English on
the ball. Men call it luck. 1t might
have been. but there was something
else. Hard work and perseverance
and steadfast attention to details gem
orally accomplish as much as the more
snowy qualities of the mind.
Old Bill Reeder has passed from the
stage of public life, but he can leave
the theater with a grin and go to one
of his banks and draw out enough
of his days. He can look back with
satisfaction on long record of sue
cess in the business and politics of his
state and the remarks of his enemies
will likely sound faint and distant to
his ears.

DOES NOT GET APENSION
APPLICANT MAKES FALSE REP RESERVATIONS AND IS RE
 JECTED BY AGENT.
(STAFF CORRESPONDENT

Little Rock, March 10.-Honesty is the best policy in applying for pen sion, as well as in other things, as Monroe Barnhill, now going under the name of James Morrow, will find out before he succeeds in getting his pen sion. According to papers which have been placed in the hands of Special Agent Hoover of the pension depart ment for strengthening out, Barnhill applied for a pension for service rend- cred by him in the civil war. He is a resident of Mississippi and when call ed upon by the special examiner of that district, said he had carried his discharge papers so long they had been worn out. Papers Special Agent Hoo yer has just received from Washing ton show Barnhill is deserter, leav- ing the army just few weeks before the discharge of the soldiers, after having a fight with another soldier and having a captain publicly rebuke him. Congress later dismissed the de- sertion charge against Barnhill, and had he told the truth about his deser- ton, would already have had his pen sion. The false statement in this par ticular has started an additional inves- tigation to see if something further against him cannot be discovered.

BIG CIRCUS" IS COMING
UNIQUE ENTERTAINER AT PUBLIC SCHOOL TOMOR-

A "big circus will be pulled off by the students of the Conway public school at that institution tomorrow night, which, those in charge state, will surpass anything of it's kind that has ever happened in this city.

The main hall and rooms on the first floor will be divided off into ten side shows and stands, and will have flake show just like the big circuses carry with them. At 9:30 o'clock all the side shows will be closed and all the guests will be invited to the main auditorium of the building, where the big show will be given free of charge. The side shows will be charged extra, the ad- mission prices ranging from one to five cents.

ARKANSAS HOOKWORM

(STAFF CORRESPONDENT )

Little Rock, March 10.-Mr. Hook worm in Arkansas is soon to get his and get it good and hard, for the John D. Rockefeller prize for embalmed hookowrms is coming this way. State Superintendent of Public Instruction George B. Cook yesterday afternoon received a letter from Wycliffe Rose, the financial agent of the foundation fund, saying he would leave New York within few weeks for trip through the southern states, and intended to stop in every one and take up with the state board of health the hookworm problem and map out the campaign which is to be waged against the frisky little father of that tired feeling. Dr.. Rose has not stated what time he will visit Little Rock, but will probably do so at some time in the near future to be suggested by Superintendent Cook, after the state board of health has been consulted with.

CARDINALS TRYING OUT
ST. LOUIS BALL PLAYERS GET TING INTO CONDITION FOR
 COMING SEASON.
(STAFF CORRESPONDENT )

Little Rock, March 10.-ln spite of the strenuous workout of Tuesday, the first day of the spring practice, the St. Louis Cardinals went out !n the cooler weather yesterday with very few sore muscles and cclts and veter- ans alike went to work as though It was midseason. The weather was a bit raw in the morning, so Manager Bresnahan started his players out with a brisk half hour with the medicine ball. The hit and run play was then indulged in for another hour. The bunt, scientifically applied, took anoth- CT hour of the morning recreation The kids of the flock were shown how it should be done, and even such old campaigners as Hulswitt and Barbeau came in for a call from the manager for the way they were geetting away after putting the ball down. In the afternoon the outfelders were given chance and their working out was strong. The ball was batted about a good bit, the pitchers all warming up and cutting loose, so that the batters had no easy time in putting out safe ones. Tim Flood, looking like college youth, in better condition that he has been in four years, was out yesterday and warmed up the most of the time with Vic Willis, close friend of Flood when he was member of the Brook lyn team. Flood will work out with the Cardinals until time for him to re- port to Nashville.

.SH|REY WILL CONTESTED

 ONE CENT.

Little Rock, March 10.--A lively contest is probable over the estate of A. W. Shirey, the eccentric old mer- chant who was assassinated in his store at Minturn Tuesday night, leav- ing a will in bank at Newport which beGueathed his entire estate to the Odd Fellows to erect sanitarium for Odd Fellows in Hot Springs, and cutting his wife and other relatives off with one cent each. Mrs. Shirey was mar ried to her husband about 10 years ago. She was the daughter of rent CT on one of the Shirey farms, and was then about IS years of age. Shirey was TO- She soon filed suit for di- vorce, alleging cruelty. He filed a cross suit, alleging infdelity. The chancery court granted decree in ia vor of the young wife. The case was taken to the supreme court which de- cidcd neither were entitled to decree. Shirey refused to live with or con tribute to the support of his wife, so two years ago the supreme court hand ed down a decree ordering him to pay her $50 per month. He paid this the last two years of his life. Mrs. Shirey will not be satisfied with her one cent fortune, it is said, but will endeavor to collect her dover right, she being tn al wife of Shirey at the time he 2a assinated. The Odd Fellows will ake a contest for the money which has been left to the lodge, which will amount to about $250,000 in all probability, if the widow is not allow ed to break the will.
