Burton, thus fitted out with a fine rig and horse, proceeded to the chattel loan office of A. A. Clark, whers 1t is said he secured @ loan of $100 on the outfit. With this money Burton supplied himself with a new wardrobe and crossed the river to Omaha. where he attempted to sell the horse, buggy and harness, but had not suc- eveded in doing so before the authorities swooped down on the outfit.

It was thought that the man's mental derangement was but temporary and with proper care he would soon re- cover.

The total of mileage in the state at the beginning of the year was 9,3%, and the assessment thereon, |at one-fourth the alleged actual valuation of the property, amounted to 366541513 The net increase in mileage in the two years, | from January 1, 1901, to January 1, 198, was |35 miles. There were increases on a num- ber of lines and new branches and ten miles of reduction of distances by reason of changes in the right-of-way. The main increases were on the Omaha branch of the Great Western from Fort Dodge, the Mus- catine extension of the Milwaukee, the Maple river branch of the Northwestern and the new lowa Falls line. The net as- sessment on the new mileage in the two years amounted to §770,715. Deducting this from the total assessment increase in the two years leaves a total net increase in as- sessment on mileage in existence in 1901 and assessed at that time of $8,690.540. This in- crease from W7.0TL79% amounts to 18% per cent, representing the per cent of increase in the assessment on rallroad property mode by the present exacutive council in art.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 18.—Dr. August Greth, who for a year past has been un- | ostentatiously working on an airship, to-| | day surprised the residents of San Fran- cisco by sailing over their heads for two hours, direéting his machine almost at| will and demonstrating that in many es- sentials he has soived the problem of aerfa} navigation.

The ascension was made from |most in the heart of the ecity, Greth attempted to encircle a towering newspaper building about a mile eastward, but found the high currents too strong for | his power, and then turned in an opposite | direction. The winds carried him ocean- ward, and for a time he hovered over the vieinity of the Golden Gate, making va- rious successful trials of his steering-gear. The currents threatened to take him out over the Pacific and he decided to make a landing on the parade grounds of the Presidio military reservation, but made the mistake of letting out too much gas and landed in the bay, about 200 feet from shore. The crew of the life-saving station res- cued the asronaut and his flying machine which was little damaged by the unfortu- nate termination of the voyage: The balloon of Greth is cigar-shaped and has a capacity of 50000 feet of gas, with a lifting capacity of 180 to 2000 pounds.
