as the Artificial Article.
ANDERSON, IND, Aug. 14.-The first bal.
loon inflated with natural gas ever sent up.
arose from Riverside park, near this city,
yesterday afternoon. 1t has been a ques-
tion as to whether Or not natural gas would
float balloon TO any considerable hight.
This one was filed from pipe from a well
until the gauge indicated that the silk,
which was inclosed in a strong netting,
was bearing twenty pounds pressure.
SAILED AWAY.
Then George Ayers, an amateur aero
naut, climbed into the basket and the bal
loon was cut loose. II rose steadily until
an altitude of about 2, 500 feet was reached,
when a currant of air was struck which
bore the balloon and its single passenger
away to the south ,ast Since then nothing
has been seen or heard from him.

No REPUBLICAN should bet on
elections, however sure the offer
may be. A bet DISTINGUISHES the
better. A single Democrat, by
making small bets all around, may
cause a dozed Republicans to lose
their votes.

REPUBLICAN MEETINGS.
Vim. E. Bainbridse and Oscar Hallam,

Two talented and instructive young
men, and graduates from our State
University, will discuss the political
issues of the day at the following
places in Iowa county, as per date
attached
Rewey, Wednesday, October 2ith.
Cobb Thursday, October 18th.
Dodgeville, Friday, October Goth.
Mineral oint, Saturday, October 27th.
Hollandale, Mon day, October 18th.
These young men are products of
Iowa county-sons of Mr.. Joseph
Hallam, of Linden, and William
Bainbridge, of Mifflin. Few are
better posted or more capable of
presenting Republican truths focci-
bly, and attractively.
Local committees are relied upon
to make all necessary arrangements.
PRoF. w. A. HENRY, of the state
university, has issued circular con
tanning an exact picture of the
Canada thistle by which all farmers
can know it. He says that the root
of the Canada thistle gives it its
superior power for mischief. Hoeing
or blowing the patch will not destroy
them, for every severed root stock
will give rise to a new Individual
plant. So that in trying in that way
to eradicate them, this feature must
be kept in mind. Vigilence in this
case is all important. Keep the plant
cut of close to the ground. Let no
leaves live to store away starch in
the underground roots. Deprive the
roots of this nourishment and they,
like all plant roots, will die. Cut
off constantly the thistle leaves, and
it will have 10 succumb sooner or
later. No vegetation can live with
out leaves.
ATTENTION is invited to the Re
publican county ticket, hoisted in
another column. Most of the candi-
dates are old and tried officials, and
no one will gainsay that the county
was ever better served than by them.
OF the new aspirants much space
could be taken up in their praise.
Suffice it to say, they are competent
beyond doubt and gentlemen in
every sense of the word. Being
composed of such qualities they
should receive the support of every
Republican in the county. The
Democrats have nominated their
ticket and, generally speaking, it is
made up of pretty fair fellows; but
we don't concede them at par with
the Republicans. How can they be
when emanating from the Demo
cratic ranksY

On the Eve Of His Execution.

SUTTON, WHO WAS TO HAVE BEEN HANGED To-

A band OF armed men wearing masks broke
open the jail at wytheville, Va. at q O'Clock
Thursday morning and rescued wayman SUIT
ton, who was to have been hanged TODAY for
the murder OF Peter Harvell. The jailer says
the mob broke open the door with a sledge-
hammer when he refused them admittance.
covered him with their pistols and demanded
the keys to the cells. Again he refused to
obey, whereupon they searched the rooms and
found the keys in the sewing machine drawer.
After securing Sutton they locked some of the
guards in his cell and left for the west end of
the county. The mob is variously estimated
by persons who saw it at from so TO 1000. A
sledge-hammer that was used was found i'm the

of the deed Pendleton is said to be in Ken

written by him, in which he declared that he
and not Sutton was the murderer. was recently
submitted to Gov. Lee. Since his incarcera-
ton Sutton has been visited by MANY friends
who do not believe he is guilty. as the convic-
tion was obtained solely upon circumstantial
