This is precisely why the Govern

ers appointed. The otfense in every
case is personal the profits are per-

PASTORS HOME WRECKED.

The home OF Rev. r. B. Fisher, pas
tor OF the Neoga, Ill.,, Presbyterian
Church, was dynamited early Saturday
morning. The building was partly
wrecked and Rev. Fishers wife was
badly injured No clue has been found
to the person who threw the bomb, frag-
ments OF which we're found later near
the wrecked building.
Rev. Fisher had been leading a cru
sade against bootleggers, and it is be-
lieyed foes of the local option law
wrecked his home, as he had received
number OF letters threatening him on
account of his attitude.
Rev. Fisher was sued for $500 dam
ages last Friday by Jacob Stroll, a
wealthy German farmer, and Cumber-
land Presbytery. Stroll charged that
Rev. Fisher had prayed to the Lord
to make Brother Stroll better man. "
Now you would better make an
other PRAYER and straighten things up
with the Lord" Stroll declared when
Fisher concluded his prayer. Fisher,
it is alleged, refused to comply and the
suit followed.
Their differences followed the refusal
to permit Cumberland Presbyterians to
use the church building near Neoga
after their consolidation with the Pres
byterian Church. This action IS be-
leyed to have started their trouble.

TRAIN ROBBERS FOILED.

Cleverncss on the part OF the engineer
prevented three youthful and apparent
" inexperienced bandits from robbing
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas South
western flyer near Larimore, 10 miles
from st. Louis, early yesterday. Three
men were arrested later as suspects
and placed in Jail pending investiga-
ton.
Engineer Quinn, through ruse, pre-
vented the looting Of the baggage car
and the passenger coaches. The bandits
compelled the engineer and the fire
man, at the point Of revolvers, to des-
cend from the cab and made the men ac-
company them back to the baggage car
to help in unocuplingit. While tinker
ing about the coupling the engineer and
the fireman, in the darkness, managed
to glide away from the bandits. The
two started on a run for the cab.
The bandits opened fire on the engine
men.
The engineer and the fireman, unde-
TERED, scrambled into the cab. The
engineer threw the throttle wide open
and dashed away with the train.

others died Of it.
Ten deaths and many prostratiohs
occurred in Philadelphia yesterday, a
result of the excessive heat.
The thermometer at Middletown,

torrid heat which caused one death,
that OF a colored infant, and the pros

registered 102 degrees.

MONSTER AIRSHIP.

The incorporation, at st. Louis, Cfthe
Universal Aerial Navigation Company
has revealed plans for a commercial
passenger airship that will rival the
widest dreams Of Jules Verne. Officials
Of the company declare that within a
year they will have ship that will
carry over 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,
Texas, but at present a st. LouIsan.
One is in progress Ofconstruction IN the
shops of the inventor in st. Louis.
The inventor claims that his ship can
start either from the land or water
He declares twill ascend straight into
the air or can be launched in the
manner OF an aeroplane.
The new airship is called a gyroplane,
50 named from the fact that it is a com
-bination Of gyroscope, the helicopter
and the aeroplane. Its promoters say
it can be built in any size from a two
man "runabout" or yen-passengers
touring car" to a monster Of the air
that will carry 80 or 100 passengers.
1t is planned to construct machines
that will maintain a regular passenger
service between cities and states, and
even countries. The gasoline supply
may be unlimited. The niodel OF the
ship is fitted with four huge prCPellors,
Il 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 pro-
nounced superior to all others.
The machine is TO be constructed en-
tircly of aluminium and macadamlte,
and, besides carrying four propellers,
is fitted with two engines.
The inventor asserts that the machine
can be made to stand still at one spot
in the air for an indefinite time. We
could drop thousand bombs on a war
ship from height OF two miles without
moving foot, he declared.
The company is capitalized at 3d.
600. 900.
