They have seen the wonder and are convinced that it is a machine which navigates the air, and not a star which has been wandering around for 19,000,000 or more years j through space without an object or a destination. The strange machine made its first appearance in the wee small hours yesterday morning. It was not seen by many at that time, but the few who did see it are convinced that it is a machine. The lights which appeared on It seemed to move backwards and forwards toward each other, as if signaling to the earth.It was first seen on the northern horizon. and about the only persons who were up at the time and who were not peeing things double, were a few newspaper men, police officers, and a guard at the house of correction. All of these are willing to make oath they saw an airship come from the north a little before the break of daylight and that it disappeared again, reversing itselfand fading from view in the north.Last night the stranger made its appearance again in the heavens about 9 o’clock. It came from the northeast from out over the lake. There was no possibility of a mistake this time. Thousands of people saw It, and in a few minutes they were following the machine as it floated over the city. It traveled towards the southwest until it reached a point directly over the City hall, where it stopped for a quarter of an hour. Then the excitement in the down-town districts became intense. It was reported that attempts were being made to anchor the machine.A Mr. Mayor, a traveling man, hada field glass ranged on the machine and said he distinctly saw four men Init.The mysterious airship, which has caused the veracity of many reputable citizens to be questioned, promises to be cleared up within a f ew days through the medium of the trans-Mississippi exposition. Either this is the fact or a stupendous hoax is to be perpetrated on the exposition authorities. In the first mail yesterday Secretary Wakefield received a letter dated at Omaha and bearing the postmark Omaha. The letter was signed “A. C. Clinton.” and read as follows:“To the Exposition Directors: Myidentity up to date has been unknown, but I will come to the front now, if you guarantee me 870.0O0 square feet ofI am the famous airship constructor and will guarantee you positively of this fact in a week. The airship is my own invention, and as I am an Omaha man I wish it to be held as an Omaha invention. It will carry safely twenty people to a height offrom 10.000 to 20.000 feet. I truly believe I have the greates.t Invention and discovery ever made. Will see you April 17. 1897. at the headquarters.”The writer gave no address. Theamount of space asked for by the writer of this letter is nearly thirty-five acres.Dubuque. Ta.. April 12.—Th** mysterious airship passed over Dubuque after midnight Sunday night. It was seen at Green Island at 10 o’clock, and at Bellevue at 11.Bloomington. 111., April 12 —An object believed to be the mysterious airship which has been sailing over Illinois was seen at noon Sunday floating over Bloomington. Tt was going In a northeasterly direction at a great altitude. It was yellow in rojor and seemed to be rectangular in form.have started on its mysterious way at Denver. It has worked east at the rate of 500 miles a day and made a jump, according to the published reports, of nearly 1,000 miles over night, from the plains of Nebraska to Lake Michigan. Farmers and other persons are said to have been greatly mystified and in some instances, badly frightened by the appearance of the stranger in the skies at night, with its ominous body and glaring headlight. It Is generally agreed that the “airship” is a night worker; at least in the lengthy accounts printed no mention is made of its appearance by day.Now, in order that no one may be scared to death by this strange vision, it may be proper to say that the “airship” sighted in the west is a “fake. The aerial monster was manufactured originally in New York, of papier mache and ordinary balloon material to advertise a certain brand of cigarettes. When it was set free at Denver somewine merchants and other mercantile gentlemen Infringed the patent and made papier mache airships for their own use. That is why the “airship has been seen at so many places at one and the same time. There is more than one of them in the sky, and the cigarette balloon is not the only light in the heavens by any means. The whole thing is a clever advertising dodge invented jointly by parties In New York and Chicago.The St. Louis scientists who were yesterday mystified at the appearance of the so-called airship did not wait to look for a solution of the problem in the darkened heavens last night. At one of the institutions visited by a re.I.ter the professor of science was Just getting ready to make some observations.“Oh, you want my opinion about theair-ship, do you?” he asked of the newspaper man. And then he started out to express great doubts, but suil he was alxjut to take a peep at the heavens through his telescope. He was saved the trouble and told that the whole thing was a well-planned cigarette advertisement.“Well, well, well,” he laughed, “and here I’ve been worrying my astronom.-eal brains out looking for some explanation of this wonderful aerial body. But, you know, I did not place much confidence in the reports 1 heard, an l I accept your ‘corroborative evidence’ with much pleasure;” and he heaved asigh of relief, as he removed his Instruments and postponed his investiga- . tion.Several other scientists laughed heartily when they found out that it was all a huge joke—on them—but they didn’t like the idea of having talked so seriously for publication on the subject. “That aeronautical crank in Chicago, said one of the scientists, “is mighty badly fooled, ain’t lie? I suppose lie'll think now that the ‘object of the mystery is to arouse great interest’ in a certain brand of cigai *tiDon’t you know, most astronomers an 1 aeronauts, too, like their little sinuk**,and maybe that fellow indulges in the’coffin tack.’ Yes, yes, It’s a mighty big ‘ad.’ and the airship really seems to have gone up in smoke.* 9Haw the Aimhtp In a Field.The first case re-Omaha, April 12. ported in whioh the airship has been seen on the ground comes from Wolftheto a loco-As thisand ap-speed theaibE710iinStationkeeper Harry Moore of the , Central police station saw it distinctly and was one of the few who did not at the same time lose his head.

Hawk-Eye; A singular sight was witnessed here last night between the hours of nine and ten o’clock, and created anunusual excitement in our qui*-t little village. Dr. J. D. Travis was the first person to discover this peculiar light and he was not slow in making the discovery know. Everyone in town was on the street in a short time and beheld a sight that was astonishing in the northern heavens and moving at a wonderful rate of speed In a southwesterly direction; it appeared to be alxmt 3u0 yards from the earth. The first thing that attracted attention were three lights of intense brilliancy and appeared in size similar motive engine headlight, strange object drew near proached the city at a terrific faint outline of the strange object were barely visible; the heavens were overcast with dark clouds, rendering a good view an impossibility.The spectators were unable to make out what the phenomenon was. Thestrange object, owing to the marvelous speed it attained in its graceful flight soon disappeared and left the astonished spectators to recover from their surprise. Several of our most reputable citizens and others of undoubted truthfulness and veracity witnessed this sight and are willing to swear to the truthfulness of this statement.A great deal of speculation and theorizing was indulged in as to whether the object was on airship, hut in the minds of our more advanced thinkers and observers, of this place, “notably J. D. Travis, and T. C. Hemmoll there remains very little room for doubt that the strange visitor was the much talked of airship seen near Omaha, Nebraska, and several other places.A Reader.Rome Saw the Hawk-Fye llalloon.Rome, la., April 12.—(Correspondence.)—The many reports that our cltl-zens have been reading about the airship recently have caused them all to keep a close watch every evening for the past few days, and we think that a few of them saw the balloon Saturday evening, which was sent up by The Hawk-Eye Co., at Burlington, and reported to have passed over this place. Several men had just commenced to tell about it Sunday morning when themail arrived and would have probably told about seeing the airship if some one had not got The Hawk-Eye and read about the balloon. There was a slipping away of those that were talking alxmt airships and in a few’ minutes all felt sure that they had not seen the airship, but had seen the balloon. The Hawk-Eye is to he congratulated for the way it took to prove that most people would call any light seen after night an airship and that their imagination made things larger than they were. This will probably put an end to the airship story for a while at least.Airship a “Fake ”St. Louis. Mo.. April 12.—It is amusingto read the dispatches of the appearance of an airship in various places eastof the Rockies.

Richard Butler, a very well-to-do farmer, gives this version:“I was driving home Wednesday night, when I observed a light in a field close to the road. I knew’ no house witsthere, and stopped to investigate. Thelight had a glow more like that of an electric lamp than the kerosene burners usually employed by the residents of the Wolf Creek district.”Butler strained his eyes and was astonished to see a dark mass, through the windows of which the lights shone. He descripes it as a long, narrow car, resembling a corset 1k»x in shape, but perhaps 30 or 35 feet in length and 6 or 7 feet In width and height. Over this car floated a cigar-shaped bag, horizontally placed, of about the same length as the car and 8 or 10 feet thick at its greatest diameter. Whetherthere were sails or steering apparatus Butler can not say, for at this moment his horses caught sight of the ship, bolted precipitately for the opposite side of the road and tumbled wagon and driver into the ditch. By the time Butler had crawled from the wreck and regained his feet, the machine was moving briskly in a southerly direction, and at the same time ascending at an angle of about 45 degrees, Butler watched it out of sight and continued his way on foot. Several hundred Omaha persons can easily be found who saw the ship Wednesday.Danville IIip ftnlloon.Danville, la., April 12.—-(Correspondence.)—Citizens here saw The Hawk-Eye balloon about 9 o’clock Saturday night and several thought it was the air ship sure.Ilanki ve'ii lla!llt; on s»t FairfieldFairfield, la., April 12.—(Special.)
