FATAL BALLOON SECESSION.
One Man is killed and Another Serious
ly Hurt.

NEW LISBON, O., July 4-FuIly 5000
people were assembled here t;day to see
Professor Brady, of Cleveland, make a
balloon ascension and parachute drop.
When the word was given and the bal
loon shot upward, the multitude was
Mortified to see a man hanging head
downward below the mouth of the bal
loon. The man whose leg was entangled
in the rope disentangled himself and
dropped to the parachute, striking it in
such way that the knife cut the rope,
detaching the parachute from the bal
loon and the aeronaut fell to the ground
with great force. The upper man fell
rbout 200 feet, and was instantly killed.
The parachute broke Brady's fall, but
he was seriously though not fatally hurt.
The nrme of the man killed was William
Hennessey, a resident of this place, who
was helping to initiate the balloon. He
was SO years old and leaves widow and
four children.

"A KANSAS man, occupying an Off
cial position which requires him to
travel all over that state, offers very
sensible explanation of the quiet con-
dition of trade among the merchants.
He says that the principal object now
of every farmer in Kansas is to pay
what he owes, and that the past year
has witnessed the cancellation of a
large volume of mortgage Indebtedness.
Fhis liquidation is going on at rapid
rate IN all. localities, and its effect on
trade has been somewhat depressing.
The farmers have been doing without
everything excepting what they
actually need and must have, and have
been applying all their revenue to the
wiping out of their financial obliga-
tions. The result is they are getting in
better shape, aRd will very soon be
ready to reple;i<h the household sup
plies and the COW riences around their
farms which have ru,' low by. reason of
enforced economy. Wien they begin
to buy again there will be !. strong re-
viyal. of trade, and it will be on cash
basis. for the farmers are tired of run
ming in debt, and will not repeat the
folly which has caused them so much
trouble. If the present crop prospects
in Kansas be realized this year, pros
perity will he assured, and. commerce
will receive a new impetus. Kansas
City will feel the effect of the revival,
and is justified in preparing for the
good times which are sure to come

The Alliance Speaking.

The citizens alliance OF Great Bend
secured the services of some OF the
peoples party speakers, and held meet
ings Tuesday afternoon and Wednes-
day evening at the old opera house.
The Tuesday meeting, attended by, a
pretty full sized audience, was ad-
dressed by Leslie Purseil, Of Burton,
Noah Allen, of Wichita, and W. G.
Bashore. of Pratt. We did not hears
much OF Mr.. Pursell's talk. Mr.. Allen
showed himself an able stump speaker,
and stirred up the dry bones of the olds
republican party in elegant shape, not
forgetting to give the democrats a back
handed swipe occasionally. Mr.sAllen
having formerly been republican was
onto all the inside workings of the rot
ten old machine and of course spoke
from experience.
Mr.. Bashore spoke but few minutes,
Tuesday afternoon, but on Wednesday
evening delivered lengthy address on
the questions of land, transportation
and money. He is very pleasant APP
pearing man, who said he had not
voted for many year until last fall.
One feature of the meetings meriting
favorable comment was the presence OF
the South Bend band and the excellent
music the boys furnished. They are
indeed improving and should be eucour-
aged.
One of the assertions of MI. Allen,
that the peoples party would one day
give the women the right to vote III
Kansas at least, was taken with
very wry faces by some OF
the following present. While we be-
lieve number of the leaders of the
third party movement are. in favor OF
Woman's suffrage, they have not yet
come out boldly and advocated the
thing. Itwould be interesting to know
what is the position of the Beacon OF
this city on the woman's suffrage ques-
ton?

Concerning Electric Lights.

Quite mum Der of the citizens,
among them SOY ne of the heaviest tax
payers Of the city, met with the city
council Monday evening and discussed
the matter of electric lights for the city.
Two pro- positions were before the
council, bit one of them only was
thought By the gentlemen present to be
within the reach of Great Bends finan-
ces. This was a proposition from MI.
Capp, whos runs the plants at
Sterling and Ellsworth. His plan would
furnish ten arc lights for the streets at
$500 a year, OF incandescent street
lights for $500 year. The cost to
business houses and residences would
be one cent an hour for the time lights
were used, lights sixteen candle power
and he to make all renewals and
keep lights in repair.
OF all the gentlemen present there
appeared to be but one man who Cd
iected to the proposition. and he pos
sessed an ancient, back number idea
shat oil lamps were good enough for
Great Bend. He thought the city mar
shall and night watch, having nothing
else to do, could play lamp lighters.
The council selected commlt1ee
composed of Mayor Laidlaw, Council
man CT. Moses and Citizen &. ID.
Hulme to visit Sterling and Lyons ana
investigate the systems there, De1ore
any further action was taken. They
left on such tour of Investigation tues
day evening. ~ =
AS far as the DEMOCRAT is concern
ed. it is for lights, and has been 1or
years. The city had better 90 less
street work and provide reasonable
system of illumination. ,.a
