LOCAL AIRGOERS ARE OUTDONE

By People of Neighboring Towne, * It Seems. • Don’t know what’s die matter with Rensselaer people, whether they were lacking Ln nerve or cash, but during the three days LieutDunn was here with the D. R. Craig passenger-carrying airship not over a dozen or fifteen people availed themselves of the opportunity to go skyward at 115 per go, while on the Wednesday previous some 25 ascensions with passengers were made at Remington during a few hours in the afternoon. At Goodland Monday a nice business was reported, and Tuesday, at Kentland, 33 passengers were taken up. Mr. Craig is contemplating the purchase of another plane, says the Lafayette Journal, the business far exceeding his expectations.
