Large Success Attends Efforts.

Sunday was a day of successes al
the Christian church, beginning with
the bible school in the morning, with
$40 present and in the classes, with
249 carrying their own bibles, making
it a bible school indeed, and an Of
fering of over 81. With at least four
other well organized schools conduct
ed at the same hour in a town the
size of Dallas, this is a remarkable
showing. The mark had been set at
$50, and they attained to it and made
fine advance toward 400 for next
Sunday, which will be their determin-
ed aim. All this has been accom-
plished without interfering in any
way with the work of the other
schools, as no one is encouraged to
attend from another school.
There were ninety present in the
Christian Endeavor, with the time
completely taken up and fine show
ing for the state contest, in which the
Endeavorers of the state are engaged
There were twenty present in the
Teacher Training department under
the direction of Professor Seymour,
and high standard of work is being
done in this important line of work.
Two great sermons were preached
by the evangelist and there were four
responded to the invitation-three
adults and one boy from the bible
school-and one "household CONVEX
sion." Another one who was not able
to be present at the service, sent in
her application for membership, thus
swelling the number of additions dur
ing the two weeks of meeting to TWEEN
ty-two.
There were people turned away
from the house in the evening who
were anxious to hear the evangelist
on his announced theme: "Men or
Hogs-Which?" This was not, as
some anticipated, a comparison be-
tween men and hogs, but comparison
of the manner in which a large class
of individuals contemplate men and
hogs in their thinking and plans and
actions. A man under a bondage of
terrible severity was set free and re-
stored to his natural self, but at
cost Of a herd of miserable razor
backed shoats, and the cry of com
plant went up from the self centered
critics that the cost was too great.
In our thinking and plans and ae-

the proper value upon himself, his

GREAT AVIATOR IS DEAD

The spectacular career OF Lincoln
Beachey, one of the most daring OF
American aviators, was ended Sun
day when he fell to his death at the
Panama-Pacifc exposition in plain
sight of thousands of spectators.
Beachey was completing his second
fight of the day when the fatal acci-
dent occurred. Having previously
electrified the crowd with series OF
aerial somersaults, the intrepid air.
man sought to add an additional thrill
by making one of the sensational per-
pendicular drops which featured his
flights.
The accident was attributed to the
fact that Beachey entrusted his life
for the first time to new monoplane.
On the first flight of the day every
thing worked properly and all the ia
miliar evolutions were INDUCED in
with the exception of the perpendicu-
lar drop. This Beachey had saved
for the final climax and this, too,
proved too much for the fabric of the
mOnoplane.
The machine was at an altitude Of
about 5000 feet when Beachey shut off
his power. For several hundred feet
the machine dropped head on for the
earth and then the aviator grasped
his control levers to adjust the planes
for the graceful descent which char
acterized his previous flights. At this
instant the wings crumpled like a
collapsed umbrella and the aeroplane,
turning over and over in its fall,
plunged into San Francisco bay, mar
rowly missing a vessel lying at the
government transport docks.
Thousands of horror-stricken spec
tators rushed to the nearby water
front, but with the exception of few
splintered fragments of the aeroplane
floating on the surface of the bay no
sign of the wrecked machine could be
seen. Launches put out Immediately
equipped with graphing hooks, and a
boats crew from the battleship Ore

stream a short distance away, joined
in an attempt to recover the body of
the aviator, who was strapped to his
machine, under 40 feet of water. The
body was recovered. Divers from the

waters of the bay, found the crushed
form of the airman entangled in the

the lobby and disappeared. One of

she was left behind without money
and without friends. She is now

Some Turkeys.

If one would have told us there
we're at the least 5000 turkeys rails
ed in the Jerome district this year,
we would have been little skept-
cal to believe it, However, this es-
innate is not far out of the way, as
buyers WHO came in here last week
succeeded in purchasing $500 head,
and they did not begin to get the
entire supply. These turkeys were
bought for the Butte, Mont, market

weight, being paid The total amount
paid for this product of the farm i'll
this district will reach over $4,000,
nice bit of pin money for the farm
ers' wives who raised them. On Sat
urday of last week the buyers paid
out over $4,000 in cash for the tur
keys delivered. While these are
small matters, they help to swell the
total of cash that is being paid t(
the farmers on the tract this year.
