Little hope is entertained for their

The river is unusually high and the
current very swift. kaiaer was a

gone to Cedar hill to try to recover
the bodies. John Ossenfort, assistant

Curtlss Makes the First AeropIane
Trip Out Over the Atlantic
Ocean, Going Two
Miles.
WAS BEAUTIFUL SIGHT
Made Successful Flight Above tho
Dashins Breakers and Was
Witnessed by
Thousands.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. ]. July e.-
Glenn H. Curtiss made the first aero
plane trip over the Atlantic Ocean
Just before sundown last night when
he guided his biplane in an eight
minute flight along the front
of the city, going about two /
miles to sea at an altitude of about a
mile. The trip extended in length
from the million dollar pier to the in
let and back to the Chelsea limits OF
the resort with a final dash to his
starting place. Although the high tide
left starting place in soft sand hard
ly 5 yards wide and only twice as
long, the aviator got start that clear
ed his machine from the breakers in
front of him and landed with hardly
a jar within few feet of the tracks
made as he started.
The successful flight was made i'm.
| mediately after the first try OF the
day, which nearly ended in disaster
and smashed a stay of the flyer after
Curtiss had deftly eluded a breaker
and driven his machine to the beach

height of 10 yards to less than 10
feet of the surf.
Cheers from crowd of thousands
that packed the beach greeted both
attempts and a concerted yell went
up when the daring man-bird ended
his real oyer7the-sea Journey,
The flight created a sensation all
over the city when the machine arose
high enough to be seen from main
business and residence avenues. The
air had stilled until the whizzing ex.
plosions of the exhaust could be
heard over the resort, and thousands
rushed into the street and to roofs to
watch the machine pass. There was
never waver in the flight, and
watching experts declared their be
, lief that the much-feared currents ot
air over the ocean will not in any way
interfere with flights for altitude ant
speed records to be attempted latel
in the week.

lives in Ottumwa is looked upon by
some as reason for his selection
while others believe that as host he
should give way to Mr.. Bashor, who
received second highest vote at the
primary.
Already democrats are discussing

'the success OF republican standpatters

GERS and congressman in contested
districts at the primary democrats
are discussing the advisability OF

favor from the progressives, and
thus seek support for democratic nomi-
