Information Is just received here from
Cuautla, Mexico, Of an extraordinary and ter
rible accident that occurred there on Satur-
day. 1t had been widely advertised that bal
loon ascension would be made there on that
day, and large number of natives had as
sembled to witness the spectacle. The aero
naut was SenOrita Catalina Gongora, q beauti-
full young maiden only seventeen years of age,
whose feats OF daring upon the trapeze dur
throughout all Mexico, and whose bravery was
only excelled by her beauty.
The balloon, which was inflated with hot air,
and was not expected to make long flights,
had no car attached, but in place of It carried
trapeze. When the moment for her ascen-
sion arrived the intrepid young girl grasped
the trapeze, the ropes we're cut, and amid
flourish Of musical instruments Senorita Con-
CORA and her frail ship foated toward the
clouds. Cheer upon cheer arose from the
crowds below as the brave Young aeronaut
went through her usual feats upon the trapeze,
until the distance finally became so great that
It was hardly possible to distinguish her per-
fOrmances.
The balloon had reached an elevation Of
fully three-quarters of q mile, and every eye
was still strained toward it, when suddenly
one great scream arose from the multitude,
and the collapsed balloon, with its fair young
navigator, was seen to fallswiftly as meteor

spectators for q moment, when, rushing to the
spot where the balloon had fallen, they found
the terribly smashed and mangled body Of the
poor young girl lying lifeless beside the wreck
Of her balloon.
The Mexican women wrung their hands and
wept over the dead girl, whose remains were
afterward tenderly cared for by the people
and buried in the cemetery near the town.
1t was afterward discovered that the balloon
was of altogether too frail construction for
the risk of human life, as the material of
which it was made was fimsy and easily rent
asunder.-Laredo (Tsx.) Cor. Cincinnati Times

"rhe Chronic ONCE Seeker"

We frequently hear the above express
sion used derisively as though to per-
sistently seek Office was dishonorable.
The word chronic implies deep seated
persistent, of long duration, tenaciou.
and in contradistinction to spasmodic,
which implies at times, sudden, superb
eial, Of short duration.
We think a great deal of the chronic
Office seeker, and we would that more
Of our people were on the list, for this
reason: it puts him on his good behavior
or his honor as it were, makes him a
nice man, he feels so friendly the good
people recognize in him a noble philan.
throphist, when, perhaps, had he no
aspirations to Office, he would be abusive,
unmanly and dishonest, but the moment
he enters the field Office seeking, he puts
himself in training, ctrbing his worst
propensIties, educating the better, which
course long followed make habits, form
character, and if he can be kept
in training long enough he is liable to
boone pretty nice gentleman.
Not so with the spasmodie or acute
attack of Office seeking, which frequent
lY finds the patient badly prepared for
his work of capturing an Office. He
has probably done many things without
calculating their effect such as giving
way to passions, threatening to smash
somebody s. face or some little amusement
harmless in its self but somewhat in the
way when its author wants Office,
All these things have to be got
around or explained away. For
instance such things as getting
straddle OF the fence, politically, not
knowing just where he is Watching as it
were, for the tidal wave and hoping to
get on board some craft that will land
him safe in port, while the chronic fell
low has his mariners chart all prepared,
his compass in its place, has learned TO cir
cumscribe his passions, has such pleas
ant smile when he meets you that you
are led to wonder why his ears have not
been rem, in twain. Even if he gets
there he expects to continue in the
same line and is the same good fellow
he was before.
We would like to see every man a
candidate. It is not necessary that you
present your name to convention this
fall, but put yourself in training for
the future, respect the rights of others,
don't lie, don't cheat, don't embezzel
in short don't do anything that you will
wish you had not done when you come
to be real live candidate. We must
again say we love the chronic Office
seeker. To live in community where
all were such would be almo-t
equal to occupying a home Paradise.

q The Republican State ticket ap.

saThe Republican State ticket ap-
pears in the Smith County Pioneer with
the name of the candidate for State
Auditor left blank. In other words, the
Pioneer bolts the nomination Of E. P.
McCabe. This does not look well. How
can the Pioneer urge Republicans to
support the Republican ticket while
it is opposing a portion of it? 1t is
unfortunate, too, that the
Pioneer is owned by Gov. St. John
Adjutant General, and edited by one of
his most active supporters This is an
example which, from such source, may
have bad effect in the campaign
Champion. We fully concur with the
Champions structures upon the course
pursued by the Pioneer, and hope it will
hoist the tull ticket or give its cause for
not doing so.
