Aeronaut Dashed to Death.
Waterville, Maine, Sept. 2.
In full' view of 25,000 horrified
spectators, assembled on the Cen
tral Maine -fair grounds here late
today, Charles Oliver Jones, of
Hammondsport, N. Y., aeronaut,
fell a distance of 500 feet to his
death. Among the witnesses of
the frightful plunge were Mrs.
Jones and child, and they were al
most the first to reach the side of
the dying man. Jones died an
hour and a half after the accident.
Jones had been at the fair
grounds with his dirigible balloon
"Boomerang," known as the S,tro
bel airship, since Monday. To
day he arranged to make a flight
between 3 and 4 o'clock, but such
high wind prevailed that a delay-
was necessary. At 4:.W condi

missionary conference held some
time ago:
While there is much poverty,
ignorance and sin among the moun
tain people, they will not suffer as
a whole, by comparison with the
people of other parts of our state,
or other states. There is no great
wealth, but many well-to-do peo
ple. The leading citizens are above
the average in the state for intelli
gence aud enterprise. Man for
man, they are easily the equal of
any people in my knowledge in in
telligence and morality. Some
newspaper and magazine articles
have greatly magnified the adverse
conditions of poverty, ignorance
and vice among these people. At
the same time these correspondents

to Elder .leys, who has had the
Adventist meeting in charge:
"Mr. T. M. Jeys:

The well made kind keeps a horse in good humor.

The horse can't do good work when hampered by a cheap,
ill fitting collar. As well give a man a dull axe to chop
down a three foot oak, or a file to saw up a trd of wood.
