JUBILEE ME CELEBRATKINATSYIMCUSE Thursday of last week, August 31st, wa§ a most delightful day for our annual Jubilee and Home-Com-ing celebration. The day was an ideal one for such an occasion and brought larger crowds than we have had at former celebrations. People began coming in early in the morning and at 8 o’clock when the day’s program was opened with a concert by the North Webster and Syracuse bands, a large crowd had assembled which continued to increase until mid-afternoon, at which time the crowd was estimated at about 5,000. The day was crowded full of wholesome amusement and everything passed off quietly and without accident until about 3 o’clock, when Velma Shock and Edna Yoder narrowly escaped with their lives when due of the riders in the motor-

cycle race became excited and rode into the crowd, knocking the young ladies to the ground, but without serious injury. Much credit for the success of the celebration must be given to Messrs. Jacob McNutt and Sam Akers, Jr. Their efforts were certainly untiring and heartily appreciated. Among the many good features of Jubilee Day special mention must be made of Mr. S. E. Thompson’s balloon ascension in the evening. Without any disparagement to the balloonists of former years it can be said that Mr. Thompson’s ascent from every view point was the most pleasing and the most satisfactory. His balloon is of the largest, being 62 feet long and contains 1,170 of cloth, and when inflated is a most imposing spectacle. Mr. Thompson has been making ascensions for 19 years. He himself looks after the details of the preparation of the balloon for the ascent and permits no other person to handle the parachute. Every

Operated On For Hernia. Mrs. Eleanor Gates, the aged wife of Loami Gates, who lives on Boston street, was taken down Sunday morning with a case of strangulated hernia in the region of the umbilicus. Dr. Ford rendered such immediate relief as was possible, but found at the beginning that a surgical operation would be necessary. Dr. Bowser was called in consultation and together with some friends it was decided, because of the old people’s straitened circumstances, to have the old lady taken to the Kosciusko County Infirmary, and there have the necessary operation perforiped. This was done Sunday evening, Drs. Ford and Bowser and Dr. Dußois, the regular county physician, performing the operation as skillfully and successfully as if the patient had been treated by some noted M. D. who would require a fancy fee for the work. This was a case wherein the doctors are to be credited with good common sense as well as professional skill in handling the case to the satisfaction of all concerned. David W. Lamb Dies. David W. Lamb, aged 84 years, died Wednesday evening at the summer home of his son, George, at Pickwick Park, Lake Wawasee. The deceased was born in Philadelphia, Pa., January 18,1827, and cime to Elkhart county in 1865. In his old age he has made his home with his son George, of Nappanee, spending his summers at Lake Wawasee. He Is survived by three daughters, Mrs. John Frick of Wawaka, Mrs. T. J. Walker and Miss Angie Lamb of Goshen, and four sons, David C. and George of Nappanee, and Charles and Frank of Goshen.

BIG AVIATION MEET ATJHNTH BENO Northern Indiana is to have a real Aviation meet at last. The business men of South Bend, together with the Northern Indiana Railway Company, have just completed arrangements with the Moisant International Aviators for a three days’ meet at South Bend, next Friday, Saturday and Sunday, September Bth. 9th and 10th. The Moisant aviators, who have just completed a ten months’ tour of the South, West, Mexico and Cuba, were the star flyers at the Chicago meet. Rene Simon, commonly called the “Fool Flyer,” of France, will be the feature at the South Bend meet. His spectacular and daring flying at Chicago not only made him the favorite with the vast crowds there, but also called forth the highest praise of the aviation critics of all the papers. Simon flies a Moisant monoplane, a type of aeroplane never seen in this part of the country. Unlike the biplane, it has only one set of wings, or planes, and is far more graceful, resembling in flight a huge bird. Although his machine is equipped with only a 50-horse power motor, he repeatedly defeated at Chicago foreign makes of monoplanes equipped with higher powered motors. William B. Stout, Aviation Editor of the Chicago Tribune, attributed Simon’s wonderful success to his superlative skill and also to the superiority of American workmanship, the Moisantmonoplhne being manufactured in New York by the Moisant Company. Simon holds many world’s records in aviation, one being made at New Orleans last winter, when he flew the fastest mile ever Jowp around a one mile course, making it in 57 seconds. As an exhibition flyer Simon has no equal. To him spiral glides, figure eights and Dutch rolls are common. He introduces, in his flying, features attempted by no one else, as, for instance, his “Dip of Death.” Here he ascends to a height es 2000 feet or more, then shuts off his motor and descends in an almost perpendicular angle to earth; as the great weight approaches the ground the speed is terrific, but not until he is within a few feet of land does he turn on the power, reverse his planes and sweep skyward again. The least lack of skill or the slightest defect in his motor would mean a terrible accident. It is a maxim with a monoplane that the machine should not be turned to the tight, as by so doing it goes directly against the direction of the bropeller with its 800 revolutions a minute. Simon, however, turns at will, either to right or left. The little Frenchman, with all his greafc nerve and skill, has had many close calls, but his coolness and quick thinking have always prevented a serious accident. In Chicago, on the last Saturday of the meet, his monoplane got a bad start and, headed directly towards the boxes occupied by Mrs. McCormick and her party. Seeing that he could not rise in time to fly over, he shut off his motor, jumped out of his machine while in motion and clutched the supports, slopping it only five feet from the occupants of the box. Without waiting a minute he had his machine turned around, started again, and easily defeated his competitor in a five mile race despits the delay. In addition to the monoplane, there will also be a biplane, so that the spectators can judge between the two types of aeroplanes. One of the best of the Moisant aviators will be in South Bend to supplement Rene Simon in-the double i decker. I South Bend intends to keep open

bouse for the three days Os the week, and anyone who fails to go will miss the most spectacular and thrilling exhibition ever given in Northern Indiana. Bill Green Talks, “Bill” Green, of Logansport, who served twenty-two years in prison for the killing of Enos Brumbaugh, yesterday for the first ’time, told what he knew about the alleged murder of Luella Mabbett years ago by his brother, Amer Green, who was lynched. Green said Amer never told him any of the facts of the case, but that the body found in the river at Lafayette and supposed to have been that of the Mabbett girl was that of a man. Nothing was found on the body but a silk handkerchief which was tied about the neck, he said. Green recalled that a cor-ven-tion of dentists at Lake Maxjnkuckee examined the skull at the lime and a majority of them pronounced it the skull of a woman He says there is a man in state’s prison now who found the body and says there was no clothing on it as was reported. Green killed Brumbaugh July 16, 1881, and was a fugitive from justice for five years, until apprehended m the west by J. B. Stanley of Logansport. He said his whereabouts was betrayed by a mar by the name who now lives in Kokomo. Green says he expects to start in business in Logansport. OBITUARY. « Ruth Bunger, the beloved daughter of Charles and Rose Bunger was bom September 19,1909, at Syracuse, Indiana, and departed this life August 29, 1911, at her home in South Lend, aged 1 year, 11 menths mother, three sisters, one Brother and a host of friends to mourn their loss and her gain. The little child was indeed a great sufferer, but she bore her affliction with patience until the last, r-ever crying or complaining. Everyihing that could be done for her by her loving parents and others was done, but it seems that Providence had deemed otherwise. It was God’s will. The Angel of Death sooner or later visits every home, but He who doeth all things well cannot make a mistake, and sometime we’ll understand. In the meantime our heads must bow submissively and we must say ‘Thy will, not mine, be done.”
