FALLS FROM AN AIRSHIP
Aeronaut Barnard H ts a Miraculous
Escape at Nashville
After falling from a height of 5000 feet
Prof A W Barnard the airship man at
Nashville Tenn lives to tell of His thrill
ing experience The balloon which sup
ports his airship burst when nearly a mile
above the earth Friday last He and his
apparatus plunged back to solid ground
and the remarkable fact is that he escaped
serious injury He was badly shaken up
but quickly recovered from the shock
sufficiently to walk The daring aerial
navigator owes his escape to the fact that
his balloon transformed itself into a para
chute
Prof Barnard said his intention was to go
as high as possible and strike a different
current of air When the airship was
about a mile from the earth and while he
was busily engaged in adjusting the
machine he heard a popping sound He
looked up and saw there was a rent in the
balloon The descent of the airship due
to the gas escaping from the balloon was
gradual for a few minutes The balloon
assumed the form of a parachute and the
descent became more rapid as it approached
the earth Ho landed in an open
lot Prof Barnard said that the rent
occurred just as he had started to
navigate the ship against the wind Prof
Barnard does not seem to be the least dis
couraged by his experience and says he
will make another trip as soon as the dam
ago to the balloon can be repaired

STATE OP NEBRASKA
NEWS OF THE WEEK IN A CON
DENSED FORM
State Banking Board Alleged to
Have Been Very Lax in Its Duties
Banks Have Not Been Examined
as Required by Law Other Items
Banking Board Neglectful
It has developed that the late state bank
ing board was vexy lax in its duties and
that the law requiring the examination oj
state banks once each year was observed
only to an extent that makes the discover
ies now coming out the more startling
For instance no report of an examination
of J S Bartleys bank at Atkinson has
been filed with the board since 1S91 and a
large number of other banks throughout
the state were treated in the same lenient
manner escaping the required examina
tion for a number of years It is known
how that some of the examiners made a
practice of calling upon the favored banks
regularly collecting the fee for examina
tion and accepting the word of the cash
iers that the banks were in good condition
In these cases there was no pretense of
examination of the books of the banks and
io reports were filed at the office of the
board that examinations had been made
or at most only a formal report was made
that the banks were in good condition It
is asserted on behalf of K II Townley
late secretary of the board that he tried to
keep the affairs of the department in
proper shape but the examiners refused
to obey him and conducted the work in
their own way There is however no
evidence that the secretary ever protested
against their manner of examining banks
or that he ever called for reports on the
condition of banks which by his books
were shown not to have been examined
for five or six years
Elgin People Feed a Crazy Man
A young man giving his name as Jack
Warner went to Elgin the other day and

went to them and told them he had just
killed an elephant up there and he was
advance agent for Barnums show and was
going to give a free show in town He
looked lean and hungry and was asked if
he had his dinner and said no that he had
not eaten anything for three months He
was taken to the hotel and fed and seemed
almost famished for food and water He is
just 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighs 160
pounds has light blue eyes and dark brown
hair with light eyebrows and lashes and
a freckled face He was very talkative
and says he lives on a farm at ONeill with
his father and mother He says his fathers
name is Ben Warner and his mothers

three months ago Mr Hartsfeld has fol
lowed mining all his life He says he was
surprised to find so large a quantity and so
fine a quality of ore there as there is He
has demonstrated to the satisfaction of a
number of the land owners that the ore
can be treated by the smelting process and
they expect to put up several smelters that
will each treat from fifty to one hundred
tons of dirt per day The exact amount of
gold and silver taken out since Mr Harts
feld has been there cannot be obtained
until he separates the metals and makes
his report
