Walter Brookins Completed Trip From Chicago to Springfield. Automobiles are getting too slow and too common. The Wright biplanes look good to us. Walter Brookins, the aviator, completed his flight from Chicago to Springfield, 111., Thursday afternoon, consuming only 5 hours and 44 minutes actual flying time in making the distance of 188 Tfie elapsed time, including two Stops made to get oil, was 7 hours and 12 minuten. For this remarkable feat he received SIO,OOO. He left Chicago at 9:23 in the morning and made his first stop at Gilman, 111., at 11:30 for water, oil and gasoline. That was 80 miles from Chicago. He made his next stop at Mt. Pulaski, 111., 163 miles from Chicago, at 3:20, where he repaired a broken pump and also took on water, gasoline and oil. He remarked when he reached Springfield, “It was dandy. There must have been three-fourths of a million people looking at me between here and Chicago." Wilbur Wright, owner and maker of the machine, said, “I told you so.” Flying machines may be as common as automobiles in a few years. Mrs, L. H. Hamilton qnd daughter Marie went to Monon today, where each are taking treatment for the removel of goitrous growths of the neck. Victor Sullivan returned to Frankfort this morning after a week’s visit here, which was preceded by a stay of five weeks in Michigan. Mr. Sullivan was left a widower a few weeks ago. His wife was a sister of the Hordeman boys. Mrs. E. E. Stephenson and Miss Eva Miller went to Parr this morning. The former has about recovered from the sickness she was suffering with when she returned from Montana several months ago and plans to return to that state shortly. The Modern Woodmen had a good time last night, following the initiation of six candidates with a supper consisting of sandwiches, coffee, pickles, ice cream and cake. Hugh Leave! had charge of the spread. A number of Remington Woodmen were on hand. The new or revised ritual work was employed in the initiation and when the work is learned by the team it will be a great improvement over the old. A number more will be taken in soon. E. W. Gwin has written to have his address changed from Sulphur to Middle Creek, S. Dak. He says, “We are enjoying good health and I believe all the former Hoosiers in South Dakota are also in good health. This country is settling up rapidly, some one living on almost every quarter. We, had a fine rain here Sunday night, the first for quite -a while. We have' had no crops here this year as it was so dry, but we are living in hope that next year will be better.”
