FIRE ON BOARD
STEAMER M0KOu||
Little Gasoline Craft Saved by
the Waterman on the
Wharf.

Only by narrow margin did the
gasoline steamer Mokolii, owned by
Captain Miller and Eben Low, escape
destruction by fire on FRIDAY night,
while tied up at her wharf.
The MokoIii has been shifted away
from the foot of Fort street to permit
the cruiser Denver to be locked. \
Waterman is kept on board at night
and the usual precautions are taken by
the owners to prevent the vessel BENG
damaged slipping her moorlngs or
catching fire. About ten o clock the
Waterman on the wharf noticed flames
leaping out of the galley and at once
rave the alarm. He went on board
and found the galley a mass OF flames.
Others FASTENED to assist in putting out
the blaze. Meanwhile a telephone mes
save reached Eben Low and he went
down town at once, to find that the
fire had been put out by the Volun-
teer iremen. -
The damage. while not extensive, VIII
require a little time to repair. Had the
flames cot few minutes start OF the

WASHINGTON, January $o.-Ihe

yesterday completed its work on the
army appropriation bill. The bill, as
r,,,sd BY the house and approved by
A. senate committee, carries appro-
5ra.ions totaIing $95,0o0,0o0.
The bill. as introduced in the house,
carried paragraph which was intended
70 simplify the distribution of the SIX
months paw death benefits, as follows:
For six months additional pay to
bsns6eiaries of officers and enlisted
men vino die while on the active list
from wounds or disease not the result
If their own misconduct, 100000. y
This however. was ruled out Of order,

sian as carried in a former law, except

al on motion Of Mr.. Hull, as follows:
"For six months additional pay to
persons designated to receive the same

VITO have died from wounds or disease
contracted in line of duty, 800, 900. -
Mr.. Hull regretted the necessity for
sticking to the old wording, as, in his
Judgment, 1t narrows the scope of the
benefciaries. This provides that if

death, when he dies nobody can get it.

those directly interested in the erection

TAKES OVER FORTY YEARS
Macoupfn's Officers Built More Ex-
ravagantly Than They Antici-
pated, Though Without Graft.

Residents of Macoupin county, ILL.,,
had two independence days recently
at Carlinville, the county capital. when
the14ast bond of Indebtedness Of what
is probably the most famous court
house in the United States was burned.
For over forty years a debt large
enough to stagger some states has
been hanging over the heads of the
taxpayers. The amount of bonds and
interest bearing orders issued by the
county court In the construction of
fine courthouse was about S1,4O0, 600,
but the cost of litigation plus inter
est added large amount to the origi-
nal sum.
In some respects the courthouse at
Carlinville is a mystery. Just why
such a fine building was built has
never been fully explained. There are
two reasons given by friends of the
commissioners who had charge of the
construction.
One of these is that county pride
prompted the construction of the build
ing It is claimed that the commits
sioners never expected to erect such
a fine structure, but overreached their
plans. The second excuse is that a
building of the kind would prevent the
county from ever being divided and
the capitol removed from Carlinvtlle.
Building Started In 1867.
It was at the March term of the
county court in 1867 that an order was
issued for the construction OF the new
building.
T. L. Loomis was appointed county
agent to close and sign all contracts
made by the commissioners. During
the summer and autumn of 1867 the
work of excavating for the foundation
and getting the building under head
way progressed rapidly.
The Carlinviile citizens were sur
prised at the scope OF the plans, but
their shock was mild in comparison
with that of large landholders, who ex-
pressed their indignation when they
went to town. The first report made
by Loomis showed a total expense
of S49, 942.53. a year later this had
grown to $40, 6O4.67, and the building
was only a skeleton of the completed
structure. A total of the expenditures
for 1860 was $S3S,54O.77.

NEW AIR WIZARD
Oman of st. Louis Promises
Wonders for His Newly In
vented Gyroplane.
STARTS ON LAND OR SEA
Expects to Carry in Monster Ship
100 Passengers at the Rate of
100 Miles Per Hour.

The incorporation of an aerial nav
cation company at st. Louis has re-
vealed plans for a commercial passen-
ger airship that rivals the widest
dreams Of Jules Verne officials Of
the company declare that within
year they will have a ship that will
carry up hundred passengers in a
forty mile wind and at a speed Of 100
miles an hour.
The machine is the invention OF j.
w. Oman, formerly Of San Antonio.
Tex, but at present at st. Louis. One
is in process Of construction In the
shops of the inventor at st. Louis. The
inventor claims that his ship can start
either from the land or water. He de-
clares it will ascend straight into the
air or can be launched in the manner
of an aeroplane.
May Be Built In Any Size.
The new airship is called a gyro-
plane. so named from the fact that it is
a combination of gyroscope, the hell
copter and the aeroplane. Its pro-
moters say it can be built in any size
from a two man runabout or a seven
passenger touring car to a monster OF
the air that will carry fifty or a hum
dred passengers.
"a thirty or forty mile breeze would
be a help rather than a hindrance to
our machine said the inventor the
other day. I'VE will maintain abso-
lutte equilibrium in anything short Of
a cyclone. The usual obstacles that
prevent the fight of an ordinary air
ship will be as nothing to this machine
of ours"
1t is planned to construct machines
that will maintain a regular service
between cities and states and even
countries.
Carries Four Huge PropeIIers.
The gyroscope and the helicopter are
familiar principles in heavier than air
navigation. but never before have they
been applied in the manner employed
by Oman. The model of his ship is
fitted with four huge propellers. twelve
feet in diameter, which may be used
in turn for drawing the machine from
the ground or carrying it through the
air.
The machine has been inspected by
government engineers and pronounced
superior to all others, it is declared.
Ten patents have been granted. cover
ing almost every feature of the ma
chine. The machine is to be construct
ed entirely OF aluminium and macad-
amite and besides carrying four propel-
lers is fitted with two engines.
The inventor asserts the machine
can be made to stand stil at one spot
in the air for an indefinite time. I'VE
could drop thousand bombs on a war
ship from a height of two miles with
out moving a foot he declared. Oman
has studied aerial navigation twenty
years.

OF the taxpayers really began. 1t
seemed for several years that the debt
would be the ruin of the county.
There were lawsuits. then indignation
meetings of taxpayers.
A majority of the board Of super
visors was fined for contempt of the
federal court for refusing to make a
levy to start the payment Of the bonds
and orders. The supervisors calmly
voted to make the county pay their
fines and went ahead with their other
duties.
''Macoupin's big white elephant was
the term used by many in expressing
their disapproval of the courthouse.
County Pride Triumphs.
But at last majority of the sub
stantial citizens realized that an injury
to the county debt would forever
blight the development Of the coun-
tvs resources and voted to effect a
compromise and pay off the bonds and
orders. This was made possible by a
special act passed by the state assem-
