of 1000 Feet.

New York. July Harry N. At
wood, the aviator who flew over the
high buildings of Manhattan Saturday,
thrilled New Workers yesterday after
noon by daring four mile glide from
1000 feet above the housetops of
Brooklyn to Governors Island.
When he had driven his machine a
mile in shore, his engine stopped with
out warning. He pointed the aero
plane towards Governors Island and,
carried by a friendly breeze, began the
swift descent He had started with the
intention of qualifying in the fight for
a pilots license, but failed to come
down within fifty feet of the starting
point His disappointment was tenn
pered, however, on succeeding fight
when he established new world S
record for landing at mark by rest
ing his machine, after going up 1000
feet, within nine feet of the starting
point.

KANSAS FORGER CAUGHT
e. E. Wilson, Former Member of Leg
isIature Arrested for Fraud.

Lawrence, Kan. July 4--E. E.
Wilson, formerly a member of the
Kansas legislature and county attorney
of Sumner county, was arrested here
Monday for wholesale forgeries. Sher-
in Key of Searcy. White county, Ar
kansas. left last night with Wilson.
Wilson has committed an almost in
Vulnerable number of forgeries over
the country, his latest ofiCnse being to
defraud the Peoples bank of Searcy,
Ark, on April l of this year 1t is
claimed that Wilson secured money
from the bank at SearcY by posing as
e. E. Wilson, cashier of the Eudora
bank. Later it was found that he
was not the Wilson and that he had
secured the money under false pre-
lenses.
Wilson is said to have committed a
wholesale number of forgeries in Kan
sas, Colorado, Arkansas and even as
far east as Tennessee. In this latter
state he is said to have drawn checks
have been signed by Chester I. Long,
Victor Murdoch, E. H. Madison, Gov
w. r. Stubs, w. Y. Morgan and Sena-
tor J. L. Bristow Each of these
checks was made for 5000.
Mr.. Wilson then deposited them in
bank in Memphis, Tenn. thereby Sc
curing q check book from the bank.
He is said to have left Tennessee then
and Travelled through Kansas and
Colorado, drawing checks on this bank
and scattered them all over these two
states, leaving a bogus check in almost
every town he visited. He secured a
large sum of money in this way. He
is also said to have been bank pro-
moter and swindled several people out
of large sums of money.
Leaving Colorado, he went down to
Arkansas and his work down there led
to his arrest
A search warrant was issued and
the Wilson home searched by the Off
GERS. They found a large number OF
rubber stamps, such as are used by
banks, and several bank seals and
check books from various banks.
E E. Wilson was at one time one
of the most respected citizens of Sum-
ner county, Kansas. and made quite
political record there. He was at one
time the county attorney of Sumner
and was also a member of the state
legislature from there Several years
ago, however, he seems to have given
1t all up and went into the work that
led to his undoing. He had an excel
lent opportunity to make a name for
himself. but he sidestepped and his
career was cut short He will prob
ably spend several years in the Ar
kansas state prison and may have TO
face a number of other charges when
his term here is over
Wilson came to Lawrence several
years ago and engaged i the real
estate business, but it seemed that he
did not make very much 0 a success
of this and soon withdrew and left
this part of the country. Since then
he is said to have been travelling over
a various number of states doing al
most anything to get hold of some
money.
Wilson has a wife and five children
living here and his family is highly
respected by Lawrence people.

NO WORK FOR DOCTORS.
Sane Fourth Brings Absence OF
Burned Fingers.

At 1890 this morning the Topeka
hospitals and several prominent ply
sicians stated that no Fourth of July
accidents of any nature had been re-
ported. 1t is a quiet day in COMPARE
son with the bombardmert Of long ago
and the result is that there are fewer
general trouble than in any Fourth
ever celebrated in Topeka.
In the suburbs scores of youngsters
are celebrating the day in the ap-
proved old fashioned manner. But
the fire crackers this year are not wor-
rying fond mothers and indulgent IA
theirs as they once did Hundreds of
otherwise enthusiastic young Ameri-
cans are up town this morning MAX
ing the most of the sane Fourth. To
be sure, most of them are expressing
disapproval of the new plan, but when
the enumeration is taken tonight in
several thousand Topeka homes, the
attendance will be above the average.
IF the Topeka hospitals and doctors
bought an extra supply of arnica and
salve and bandages in preparation for
the celebration, they viii probably find
that their stock is a drug on the mar
ket before the day closes.
As a usual thing the heavy casual
ties have been reported early in the
day The report this morning bears
out the theory that the sane Fourth
will save a good many fingers and
perhaps a few lives-even though co.
600 Topeka kids find that the day is
scarce up to the ancient approved GUS

SICK HEADACHE
Method of Cure That VIII Interest
Every Sufferer.
Made Possible by a New LAXATIVE
Designed to Be Used with the
Tonic Treatment.

The case of Mrs. j. F. Baier, of No.
l7O7 Crockett street, Houston, Texas, is
30 similar to that of thousands of suf-
ferers, whose health has finally given
away through overwork and worry,
that her cure by DR.. Williams Pink
Pills is of wide interest.
My health gave out sometime
ago, she says, because OF hard work
in bringing up my children. I became
generally run down, was pale and thin,
had no ambition and didn't feel like
doing any work at all. I suffered
great deal from nervous headaches
which would frequently last for awhole
day. The pains were through my tenn
pies and we're often so severe that l had
70 go to bed occasionally for a day or
two. was nervous, was Oftenhme5
unable to sleep and I had no appetite.
"a friend at San Antonio, where 1
was living, recommended DR. Williams
Pink Pills to me and I commenced us
ing them. While on the second box, I
began to feel better The headaches
began to leave me and were not SO
severe. My appetite became good and
l improved in health until cured. The
pills did all they were recommended to
40 anu nave Always prdlSeu bil6n 10
my friends"
As a rule a sufferer from sick head
ache can tell hours, sometimes days, in
advance, when the headache is coming
on. This fact makes it possible to use
a laxative, as soon as the approach of
an attack is discovered, to eliminate
the poison from the system and prevent
the attack or in great measure mod
crate its severity. A new laxative,
PNKLETs, designed to be used in con-
nection with DIR. Williams Pink Pills,
affords a perfect combination treatment.
We have prepared a pamphlet that
not only describes fully the laxative
tonic treatment of sick headache and
gives specific directions for the use of
the remedies but contains also much
valuable information regarding diet, ex-
ercise and the management of the sick
room during an attack. This pamphlet
will be sent free on request together
with a sample of PMKLETs, the little
laxative pills Write today if you want
to treat your trouble intelligently. Adj

A good fireworks display is prom

celebration of the membership cam
paign which closed about three
months ago with 1000 new members.

All sorts OF good band music added
to the enjoyment. AT noon hundreds
of families ate dinner on the grass.

brated July in 1869 to old settlers
The day closed with a tragedy A
young lad was drowned in the Kaw
near the foot of Jackson street J. H.
FOUGHT, an old resident of the North
side told of the celebration.
1T was the first celebration 1 at
tended in Kansas said Mr.. FOUGHT
this morning. "a large number of To-
pekans met in the city park. We shot
off firecrackers and listened to the
reading of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. I have forgotten who read it
on that occasion, but it was some then
prominent person of the town. l think
we had music by a band organization
also, and I remember of the great
quantities of lemonade that were
served.
In the evening there was a fire
works dis lay. Just as the crowds
were leaving for home a small boy
came running fearful and breathless-
with pale face and between sobs he
told of a tragedy. A young lad had
gone swimming with some of the other
boys in the Kaw at the foot of Jack
son street. I can't recall his name, but
his folks then lived on Jackson street,
a door or two north of where the
court house now stands.
lat that time the river had scooped
out a hole near the foot of the street
and the place was a favorite swim
ming resort for the boys. The boy I
have in mind had gone out beyond his
depth. He was not a good swimmer
and was seized with cramps, and sank
before he could be reached. His peo-
pie were not in the park at the time,
but had gone up town. His body was
not found until the next morning,
think.
