NYACK. N. Y, Aug. 25.-Harry n. At
wood, holding the worlds record for dong
distance aeroplane flying, planned this
morning to wait here until o'clock before
concluding his flight from st. Louis to
New York. A steady southeast breeze
made conditions ideal for Atwood TO take
wing out of the meadow, where he was
forced to land yesterday on account OF
engine trouble when within twenty-five
miles of New York City. The engine was
repaired during the night and nothing re.
mains for Atwood but to fly down the river
and land at Sheepshead Bay race track
Atwood said this morning that he would
not fly to Boston.
The little wind there was early this
morning came from the southwest and was
favorable to the aviator's purpose. Behind
his machine the mountain rose like a
wall, cutting off all hope OF escape in that
direction. Toward the river were trees
over which he had to fly before he could
reach the open air spaces. A head wind
increased his chances of making a sharp
rise that would carry him over the trees
and out of danger. once beyond the tree
barrier, there were open fields a short dis
tance down the river, where he could land
and wait for a favorable opportunity to
start the last jump of his long journey
later in the day.
Slight Rain Falling.
When Atwood returned to the
hotel for breakfast after inspecting the
biplane, he said that the damaged engine
had been repaired and that the weather
and the physical difficulties surrounding
his landing place were now the only fac
tors in the situation.
The aviator did not spend a long time at
breakfast for he found the wind to his
liking and feared that any minute It
might veer to an 'unfavorable quarter.
When a slight rain began to fall he said
this would not keep him from attempting
flight II other conditions were favorable.
The field where the cord-breaklng aero
plane rested was center of attraction all
night. crowd watched the mschinists.
who passed back and forth through the
gloom carrying lanterns and tinkering with
the broken machinery. II was nearly dawn
when they pronounced everything in ship
shape form and when Atwood visited the
place before breakfast he endorsed their
report. Atwood was delighted when he
observed that the wind was true and
steady
II the wind holds in this direction
can fly out OF the trap here quite easily"
said Atwood, and IT won't be necessary
to start for New York until o'clock this
afternoon. II, however, 1 find that the
wind is starting to Veer to the westward,
shall fly from here in a hurry"

FRUIT RAISED
SCOTT COUNTY FRUIT GROWERS
DEMONSTRATE HOW TO RAISE
GOOD PRODUCTS.

Davenport, Aug, 25.-Some excel
lent specimens Of the fruit raised In
Scott county were brought into The
Times office this morning, and are on
display in The Times Office window.
There are seven varities from the farm
|of P. S. and S. Barr, at Jersey Ridge
about two miles northeast OF Daven
port. Some splendid specimens OF
apples were also brought in by c., F.
L. Clemens, who raised them on the
old l.. w. Clemens place.
The fine fruits which may be raised
in Scott county are shown in this ex.
hibit. It can easily be seen that just
as splendid results may be obtained
here in Iowa and Scott county as in
California and other western states,
II the same care Is given to the trees
and orchards
Most Of the fruits brought in by
Seymour Barr are from 10 year old
trees. A number Of Coles ounces
were picked from trees which were
planted 80 years ago by Attorney Alb,
ner Davidson, now deceased. Recent.
ly the trees were thoroughly pruned,
and every other tree was grubbed out
completely giving the other trees
more air and rain Not only were
they chopped down, but roots and all
were grubbed out.
In the, state of New York capital.
lists are buying orchards and rejuve-
mating them in this manner, with re-
markabie results. The production Is
greatly increased and the quality OF
the fruit improved. The same results
have been achieved by Mr.. Barr with
his trees.
In addition to these ounces, Mr..
Barr brought in some Duchess pears,
Delaware grapes, sheep nose eating
apples, More's early grapes, Minor
plums and Maiden Blush eating APP
pies.
The early Pennock apples raised by
Mr.. Celmons are beautiful, large, red
specimens.
All of the fruit is almost perfect in
every respect, there being no worms
or any serious blemishes.

lOWAN RELATIVE
OF ABE. LINCOLN
HERRING chRlsMAN, WHO DIED
RECENTLY AT MAPLETON, RE-
LATED TO MARTYR.

Mapleton, Aug. 25.-An interesting
character it was who passed away In
this city last week. Herring Chris
man was a distant relative of Abra-
ham Lincoln and was his life long
friend After Lincoln was elected
president he called Chrisman to Wash.
ington and sent him to Virginia to use
his influence to hold the state in the
union. He met some of the leading
men in the state In conference and
pleaded with them to use their influ-
ence to stay in the union. But his
pleading was unavailing.
Mr.. Chrisman was born In Rock
ingham, Va, Sept. Is, 1923. He studied
law In Lexington college and began to
practice when he was 20 years of age.
At 81 he was elected county attorney
Of Rockingham county. In 1851 he
went to Illinois where he engaged in
extensive farming and also practiced
law In Chicago and in Galesburg. It
was during these years that he became
intimate with Lincoln, due in some
measure to the fact that they were
distantly related. Mr.. Chrisman was
married in 1854. He left Illinois and
came to Monona county thirty years
ago and he has resided here since. He
was twice elected county attorney of
this county and for many years was
president Of the county bar assacia-
ton. He prepared at one time most
interesting lecture on Lincoln and he
once wrote an answer to Ingersolls at
tack on christianity which is regarded
as very able argument in support
of christianity.
For great many years Mr.. Chris
man has been a member and officer
of the Methodist church. He was
within a few days Of SO years of age
at the time of his death.
