man MAKES Flights
NUMEROUS MANCHESTER PEOPLE
HAVE THRILLING EXPERIENCE
IN AEROPLANE.
SEVEN DROWN IN DUBUQUE
Heavy Loss in Property Because OF
Floods In Dubuque and Vi
cinity.

Earl Campbell of Strawberry Point
has convinced many people in this
section Of the country that he is some
aviator. Last Friday and Saturday he
made numerous flights over the city,
doing some fancy flying as we'll. Dur
ing the afternoon he did a land-offioe
business in passenger carrying, and
number Of young men from Man.
chester experienced riding in real
army plane. M. Bushnell had the SEN
sation of going up $500 feet. Much
of the time the plane was flying above
the clouds, and certainly rode the
clouds in a graceful manner. Mr..
Campbell was one of the American
aviators in France, and is now work.
ing for the Miller Scales Company Of
Waterloo. The company owns sever
al army planes and makes a business
Of passenger carrying. The plane
that visited Manchester was of the
Curtis army type and is neatly con-
structed, with a powerful eight cylin-
der engine. The plane carries one
passenger, who has as comfortable
a seat as is to be found in any up-to-
date automobile. The pilot has q
neat seat, and all appliances for
handling the plane are arranged as
conveniently as they are on the dash
Of high class car. The Ryan pas
ture north Of the fair grounds was
used as landing field, and made an
ideal spot for that purpose. Quite a
large crowd of Manchester people
were in the pasture to watch the big
plane start up from the ground, and
then after a successful fight make a
beautiful landing.
Mr.. Campbell again made beautiful
flights on Saturday, when he carried
as passengers Mrs. Elizabeth Harris,
"A. w. Sackett, Ernest Kohns. Cecil
Adams, Percy Mcneil. H. 2. Forester.
The first day of his flying here Mr.
Campbell carried as passengers G. N.
Sullivan, H. l.. Fisher, Roy Todd,
Clyde Meffert, T. R. Jewell, and II. B.
Wheeler, in addition to those men
toned above. Saturday evening at
about $3.50 Mr.. Campbell started for
his base at Waterloo, and took with
him as a passenger Amasa Brown.
They made the fight from here to
Waterloo in about thirty minutes,
and as they were sailing along over
Jesup they ran into a heavy rain
storm, which delayed them several
minutes. Amasa says Waterloo pre-
sented a beautiful appearance as they
sailed over the city, with electric
lights all turned on.

SEVEN PEOPLE PERISH IN FLOOD
IN DUBUQUE.

One of the severest storms expert
enced in northeastern Iowa visited
this section last Wednesday shortly
before noon. Rain and hail fell thick
and fast in Manchester and vicinity
for some time, beating grain and corn
down, and streams and creeks were
swelled to overfiowing in many places
This section of the country came out
of the storm with slight damage as
compared with the section around
Dubuque. A veritable cloudburst Wis
tied that section, and did damage to
property that SO far has not even
been estimated in dollars. The prop
erty loss to Dubuque and vicinity is
Insignificant as compared with the
loss in human life. Union Park, a
beautiful rustic park, several miles
north of the city, and located among
the hills, is in ruins as result Of the
flood. AS usual the park was filled
with picnicers, enjoying themselves in
this beauty spot. The storm came up
so quickly that the people had to
seek shelter in the buildings in the
park, and when the flood waters came
down the ravines, buildings, rustic
bridges, and pavillions, and dance
halls were all wrecked by the water.
Many persons were carried away by
the torrent, and five lost their lives
in the park.
The city Of Dubuque was frightful-
ly damaged, by having paved streets
torn up, car lines washed out, and
cellars and gardens submerged. In
the north part of the city mother
and little child seven years old were
swept from their porch while waiting
for help and carried into the large
storm sewer, and it was several days
before the bodies were recovered in
the outlet in the south part of the
city.
The mayor and the council have
appealed to the citizens of Dubuque
to offer their services to help clear
the streets of debris so as to permit
traffic to be resumed.
The Chicago Great Western and
the Illinois Central railway companies
each came in for heavy damages to
their tracks and traffic was seriously
interferred with for day or two.
Many of the oldest residents of Du-
buque county say that never in their
life time has storm OF such severity
visited the city and surrounding
country.

RECEIVE CAR LOAD OF FORDs.

j. M. Jones & Sons received a ship
ment of Ford cars Tuesday and
have unloaded the machines and stor-
ed them in their place of business on
Main street. Fortunately for them
that the shipment did not come one
week earlier, or else these cars would
have been stored in the ware house
that was destroyed by the destructive
fire of last Tuesday morning. The
consignment consists of five touring
cars, all of which are sold, one sedan,
and two trucks. If anyone Is con-
templating the purchase of a truck,
better see J. M. at once because they
will not be on their floor very long.

be shown that at least ten pupils will
attend the new term. The word av-
erage is important. A school may
have seven or eight pupils and still
fall below an average attendance of
five If the pupils attend irregularly.
Directors should insist on regular at
tendance of all pupils enrolled wheth-
er the school is large or small. An
other statute passed at the last ses-
sion of the General Assembly and
which will be discussed later makes
it possible for the county superinten-
dent to give directors the fullest CO.
operation whenever such cases of
non-attendance are reported to him.
A school may not be closed by the
directors unless the average attend
ance fell below five in the proceeding
school term even if there should be
only five pupils to enroll. The word
term" means the entire period for
which the previous teacher was en-
gagged.
The law seems quite clear on the
method of procedure should the school
be closed. The board is directed to
pay for tuition and transportation of
pupils to any public school that they
may conveniently attend. However,
we would suggest that in all cases
where school is about to be closed
the directors would consult with the
