Electrical Engineer Has InTent
ed an Airship.
Which He Operates From Key
board on the Ground.
WIUELESS DIRIGIBLE.
Sends Balloon in Any Direction
Desired.
Says Control Can Be Extended
Almost W ithout Limit.
New Tork. Jan. 29. Demonstration
of one of the greatest achievements
thus far reported in aerial locomotion
was given when Mark O. Anthony, a
New Tork electrical engineer, sent a
mall dirigible balloon scudding about
through the air by means of transmit
ted power, haking it perform all
orts of evolutions and having the air
craft at all times under perfect con
trol. By actual performance he demon
strated for the first time that the long
ought for- secret of propelling air
ships by wireless electricity has been
discovered.
Sitting at a small electrical key
board, such as is used in sending wire
less messages, the inventor ticked off
various combinations of dots and
dashes, each combination causing the
balloon to perform some particular
movement.
Kes-poiids to Every Order.
Sometimes the operator placed his
Instrument directly under the bal
loon and again would remove it 200
feet away. Instance had no effect on
the control, and the response of the
mechanism, which was operated by
propellers, was prompt and effective.
"With this small apparatus," he said
"I could control the ballo6n at a dis
tance of twelve or fifteen miles, and
with a more powerful apparatus the
control could be extended to almost
any distance."
The exhibition was given in Leo
Stevens' balloon house in Hoboken. a
structure 600 or 700 feet in length, and
with sufficient head room to allow a
satisfactory test of the "wireless dirigi
ble." The model consists of an ordinary
cigarshapd gas bag twenty-two feet
In length and inflated with hydrogen
gas. Beneath that is suspended the
common type of framework used in
all dirigibles except that ail of the
mechanism is operated by wireless
electricity instead of by a gasoline
motor controlled by an operator sitting
beside it.
Vp or Down at Will.
In the ordinary dirigible ba'.Ioon the
two mechanical devices which control
it are a propeller which sends it for
ward and a rudder which governs its
course. In Mr. Anthony's invention
other devices are added. Besides the
propeller and the rudder he has a sec
ond propeller directly beneath the cen
ter of the frame, which operates ver
tically and lifts or lowers the airship
at the will of the operator. He also
has added a mechaitical device, which,
at the call of a few dots arid dashes,
releases a clutch which drops a small
weight, representing a charge of dyna
mite to be used in warfare.
During a two hours" trial the in
ventor sat at his keyboard in one end
of the buiilding and caused the balloon
to move hither and thither and up and
down, as the spectators dictated.
Mr. Anthony, in explaining his invention.
aid: "The dots and dashes have an" effect
on the mechanism through the medium of
a selector, ard the selector controls the
wiovements of the mechanism at the will
of the operator.
Compressed Air as Power.
"This selector operates the electrically
controlled valves ot tne compressed air en
irines, which gives the desired motion, for.
ward r backward, or cutting off the sup
ply of energy, as the operator desires.
"The engine is so constructed that the
amount of air consumed after passing
through the reducing valve Is small com
pared with any motor now on the market.
By using compressed air motors I do away
wita gas or oxner motors now on common
use. and sret rid of the dancer from heat
and spark. In the model small batteries
are used to operate the electric motors,
whereas in the larger machine corr.Dressed
air tanks will be used in place of batteries
for motive power. The secret of the ap
paratus is in the sending and receiving of
the Hertzian wave."
Robbers at Syracuse.
Syracuse. Kan., Jan. 29. The
tores of the Scott Mercantile com
pany and P. E. Herndon in this town
were robbed at night. Both stores
were entered by cutting out the glass
of rear windows.
Taste Is Sure
Stomach Guide
A Barometer Which Never Fails,
Though Seldom Believed.
"Taste is the direct guide to the
stomach; and the taste buds are con
nected by the nerve with the stom
ach itself, so that they represent its
health or disorder. If the stomach or
its juices are out of tone, the blood
is fermented by a change in the alka
line or acid condition, and these
reach the mouth both directly and in
directly. "The taste buds are in the tongue,
and are- mounted by hairlike projec
tions called papillae; they cover the
surface of the tongue."
"When you taste these buds rise up
and absorb the liquid : inform the
nerves: the nerves tell the stomach,
and the food is acceptable or not. Just
as the stomach feels."
The above remarks on taste comes
from an eminent authority and sim
ply explains why when one smells
cooking or sees food one thinks he can
eat. but when he. tastes he learns the
stomach is out of business.
To the person who cannot taste
aright, who relishes no food and sim
ply forces himself to eat, Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets hold the secret of en
joyable eating, perfect digestion and
renewed general health.
Most men wait until their stomachs
are completely sickened before they
think seriously of assisting nature
When your taste for food is lost it
is a certain sign the stomach needs
attention. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
cure such stomachs. They restore
sweetness of breath, renew gastric
juices, enrich the blood and give the
stomach the strength and rest neces
sary to general duty.
Forty thousand physicians use Stu
art's Dyspepsia Tablets and every
druggist carries them in stock; price

The dispensers of poslam, a new

given that no one is urged to pur
chase it without first obtaining an ex
perimental package. Those who have
tried it wi'.l find that the fifty-cent
box. on sale at Fred A. Snow's and all

worst cases of eczema, where the
surface affected Is not too large. The

will also cure acne, tetter, blotches,

other form of itch, including itching

Kansas is an oil state. It has three
kinds of oil, towit: Standard Oil,
Stranded Oil and Stannard oil. The
first, we are all familiar with. (Excuse
grammar).. The second, we remember
as the Late Uncle Sam Oil company.
one Tucker presiding; the third, but
not by a long shot the least, we have
the subject of this sketch.
The Stannard family started several
years ago to work out on legislation.
C. A. Stannara, present senator, is al
most if not quite a millionaire.
Recognized as one of the richest men
in Kansas, and owner of Sunny Slope
farm, some people wonder why he can
afford to waste two months of his time
at the alleged salary per diem accord
ed to members of the legislature.
Others, with keener insight can see
the point. When an "oil rate" bill is
introduced in the legislature, certain
old time members yowl with one ac
cord: "Stannard!" Observe the miss
ing letter. It is not a slip of the
tongue and typewriter.
C. A. Stannara, senator irom .m
noria. is a rich man. not because of
any shenannigan. but because he is a
young man of remarkable business
ability. He is recognized as the "do
mestic oil trust" of Kansas. His
the prerogative by legislation to
Senator Ex-Representative Stannard.
handle all the domestic oil at a profit.
His the credit for the destruction of
Mr. Tucker and his wild-kitten propo
sition. His the grand round-up of the
Standard.
Freight rates on domestic oil is the
feature of a bill now before the legis
lature. Senator Stannard Is therein
interested. With a "coal slack" rate
for domestic oil. several large, hard
ducats will be added to the Stannard :
coffers. j
Senator Stannard is the senate
watch-dog for Governor Stubbs. He
fears that some one is monkeying,
with felonious intent, with the "anti
lob" bill. While he was punctuating
his "anti-lob" speech by appropriate
gestures with the right hand, he was
issuing "come-on's" with his left, to
a lobby from Emporia, intent on se
curing a few thousands worth of ap
propriation on the Emporia Normal
buildings.
Gather not from this that Senator
Stannard is a bad Indian. Not any.
He is a good citizen, a good legislator
and a good man. He has none of the
vices common to the cheap, or garden
variety of legislator.
"Stannard" seems to be the Initial
thought. Hence we will adjourn to the
house, and observe the other Stannard.
These gentlemen brothers have swapped
Jobs. Heretofore Stannard of Lyon was
representative, and brother F. H. Stan
nard of Franklin was senator. Like his
brother in the senate. Representative F.
H. Stannard of Franklin, is all that Caesar
thought his wife ought to be. A mild
mannered gentleman with only one small
vice, that of making money, is this rep
resentative and ex-senator.
A few days ago. an anti-fruit tree agent
bill was introduced in the house. It pro
vided that a fruit tree agent must not,
upon penalty of death or something of the
sort, introduce colored plates of his al
leged truit as an inducement to purcnasers
of nursery stock. The Gentleman from
Franklin was driven from the brush by
this bill. He had to admit that he was In
the fruit tree business, and that the bill
was on the verge of nonsensical. Is it the
fault of the nurserymen, asks Representa
tive Stannard quite truthfully), if the
printer uses gorgeous ink in depicting the
fruit? Certainly not. A nurseryman buys
small trees for what they are represented
to him, and slls them to the customer in
good faith. The customer plants a doxen
Grimes Goldens. waits patiently for them
to bear, and dies of old age. His son in
herits the farm and a dozen Ben Davis
trees, which, barring ravages of San Jose
scale, bear one peck each of rare apples.
He is sore, and bounces upon the son or
grandson of the nurseryman who sold the
original stock. Rotten! A bas this anti
nursery law.

The senate committee on railroads
gave a hearing last nigtit to a number
of oil producers from the mld-contlnent

to Senator Stannard's bill fixing rates
on oil shipments.
The oil producers favored the Stan

by law for the future, the rates for oil
shipments that have prevailed for the
past three years. It was declared that
the railroads are intending to increase

CARELESS WITH FIRE.
Department Called to West Side to
Put Out Bonfire.
That some peopie are entirely too
careless and oblivious of the public
safety was shown in the case of a
bonfire on Tyler between Eleventh and
Twelfth last night. Shortly after sup
per just as the wind was coming
strong, a resident of that block no
ticed a large bonfire in the rear of one
of his neighbor's houses. This man
phoned the fire department who in
turn called the owner of the property
where the fire was burning and asked
him to put the fire out in view of the
windy conditions. But the fire was not
put out and was still burning when
the neighbors returned from the thea
ter last night. The fire department
was again notified and a fireman was
sent to quench the flames. When he
arrived he found the fire blazing three
feet above ground. ' It is unnecessary
