Sudden Termination a BaakoOuisvs
Race a. Chicago.
CHICAGO. Aug. 5.--The principal attrac-
ton at the South End, Chicago's new water
ing place on the border of Lake Michigan,
was to be balloon race between Professor
Smith, of this city, and Professor Talbert.
Of Kankakee. The ascension WAS made in
the presence or 1000 persons a strong wind
was blowing at the time. When Tall
bert's ship attained an altitude OF 1900
feet it collapsed, and the daring
aeronaut dropped like shot 70 the earth.
His arms were folded about the trapeze bar,
and when about fifteen feet from tho ground
the balloon was caught in some telegraph
wires and Talbert was flung with great vio-
conscious. He suffered internal injuries,
and at ST. Luke's hospital, whittier he was
removed, it is thought he viii die.
Smiths balloon also collapsed, but its do
scent was moro gradual just as no was
about to reach the ground, however, gust
of air hurled the balloon against a fence,
breaking Smiths ankle and bruising him
considerably about the head and body Tho
cause Of the disaster was due to
the difficulty experienced In in
flatin9 tho balloons Talbert used large
quantities of gasoline, and tho flames
shot up through the balloon, scorching tho
upper portions so that the cnnvas was not
strong enough to endure the effects Of the
cool air Tho race was for 500. It was
given to Smith, though popular opinion al
lowed that Talbert's ship made the better
start. Talbert, when given up for dead, said
he would yet live to defeat Smith,

Good Advice From q Hum
OrfNf.

To young men Bob Burdett says;
aYou take q basin Of water, place
your finger in it for twenty-five or
thirty seconds, take it out and look at
the hole that is left. The size Of that
hole represents about the impression
that advice makes on young mans
mind.
Don't depend too much on your
family--the dead part I mean. The
world wants live men; it has no use
for dead ones. Queen Victoria can
trace her ancestors back in direct
line to William the Conqueror. If you
cannot get further back than your
father youare better of. Your father.
was a better man in his time than old
William. He had better to wear, bet
ter food to eat, and was better housed.
IT you are diamond be sure that
you will be found. Cheek, brass, or
gall never gets ahead Of merit.
s1lovea young man who is straight
forward. Ask for what you want.
If you want to marry rich mans
daughter or borrow $500 from him,
ask him for it; itamounts to the same
thing in the end. 1t is always better
to astonish man than to bore him.
Remember in the morning Of life
come the hard working days. Hard
work never killed man. It's fun;
recreation, relaxation, holidays that
kill. The fun that rsults in d head
tho next morning SO big that tub
could hardly cover it is what kills.
Hard work never does.
"Thoso who come after us have to
work just as hard as we do. When I

You can't afford to do anything
but what is good Yon are on dress

afraid Of being called one-idea man

you have one more than most men
have. It takes a smart man to be q

Hooking valley alino Troubles.

MAssrLLoN, o.. Aug. g. All afternoon
was consumed by between five and six hum
dred miners from the thirteen mines COM
posing the Massillon district OF Tusca-
rawas valley, who gathered beneath the
grateful foliage Of three elm trees, near tho
rolling min, TO discuss the situation brought
about by the demand OF the operators that
they accept a reduction OF fifteen
cents per ton In the price Of mining, from
seventy-five to sixty cents, and which was
to take effect August l. After the meeting
was organized by electing John Thomas, Of
Beaver Run mine, chairman, and other off
GERS, and reports were presented showing
that tho demand had been made at all mines
in the district, President John Mcbride, OF
the Ohio Miners association, addressed tho
meeting lilo spoke for an hour, giving o
lucid and exhaustive resume OF mining aft
fairs throughout the state. He gave figures
showing that 1900 men were working at q
fifty-cent rate in the jackson district; g, TOO
men in other districts at forty cents, aud
asked them, as they never claimed moro
than fifteen cents above the Hooking valley,
how they could expect to maintain differ
ence of thirty-five cents per ton. An amend
mont to accept reduction OF ten cents was
defeated. The general opinion is that the
strike wns decided upon with the under
standing that the Hooking valley miners
will make demand within two weeks for
an advance from form forty to sixty cents.

The Wheat Shortage.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, June 2s.--S. w. Tall
madge, of Milwaukee, presents his monthly
crop report and second estimate on the prob
able wheat yield of the United States for
1885, as follows:
There is no longer q question as to the
damage and loss to the winter wheat of this
country. A falling of OF l60, 900 900 bushels
In winter wheat from last wear is calamity,
and is unprecedented in the history of wheat
raising in the United States. The present
condition of spring wheat is good. We must
have favorable weather until harvest to pro-
duce the amount of wheat shown in the table,
as the estimates made are based on the pres.
ent conditions. The acreage in Minnesota,
Nebraska and Wisconsin is somewhat de.
creased. Iowa, about the same as Dakota,
10 slightly increased.
The estimates, as tabulated by States and
territories, are based upon late information
from the State agricultural departments and
other reliable authorities, and are as nearly
correct as estimates can be. They show the
probable yield Of spring wheat to be III, OOO,.
600 bushels, and winter wheat 2l0, 200, OOC
bushels; total spring and winter, 1871 ,OOO, 600
bushels. From these figures II will be seen
that the crop Of 1885, compared with 1884
will show . shortage in winter wheat OF
l60. 600 900 bushels, and spring wheat o.
%, 000, 900 bushels, or q total shortage OF
spring and winter Of $4,000, 900 bushels
The average wheat yield of the winter state,
for Ave years past Is 46l 10000. 900 bushels
The estimate, therefore, shows q shortage
compared with the average Ave years cast o
$50. OO0, 900 bushels.
