ing on the sidewalk in Sth avenue, New

the way to the station house, without
reSaning consciousness. That the man
was garroted, robbed and murdered is
believed from incidents which occurred
a short time previous to his being discoy-
cred. 1t is surmised that Arbuckle got
on an elevated train somewhere down
town, and, falling asleep, rode to the END
of the line. He then got off the train, "
is believed, and it is thought he was ser
upon by thugs, knocked down and robbed.
No marks of violence were found on the
body, according to the police except Il
slight abrasion on the head. This NAV
have been caused by blow from sand
bag or il may have been received in
fall. Arbuckle was chairman of the
Democratic State Committee of Colorado
and receiver of the land Office in Denver.
He was an operator at Russell, Nan.,
some years ago. and later became inter
ested in politics and removed to Colorado

sudden jerk took my breath away and
the ascent was so rapid that l was high
in the air before l realized what had hap
pened. My body was twirling around and
around and the air rushed past me like a
hurricane, while the pain in my ankle was
agonizing. AT .last l observed rope that
hung down from the balloon within my
reach, and l reached out my hand and
grasped 1t. The Professor told me TO
climb up and get into the nest Of ropes that
formed network below the car and to
fix myself firmly there, where l would be
perfectly safe. About the time got my
self firmly fixed in my airy seat / heard
him calling me again. He was telling me
that he was going to cut loose the para
chute and for me not TO grow alarmed

minutes the balloon suddenly shot up
ward at a fearful rate, and looking down
l saw the parachute sailing off and de-
scending like bird. / clutched the ropes

the balloon was drawing near the earth.
Lower and lower the balloon drifted until

the trailing ropes were caught by the

Our Enormous Tobacco Crop

Tobacco is one of our great money
crops, says Frank q. Carpenter and it
brings us millions Of dollars in gold
from Europe every year. 1t amounts Mt
times to almost as much as the product
of our gold mines. In 1893 1t sold for
more than $39,OO0,OOO, and in 1894
about $2I 100000. or this last amount
S23.OO0,oO0 was sold to Europe, Asia,
Africa and South America, and the
most of It was composed OF tobacco
leaves packed up for shipment almost
as they come from the farmer. Our to-
bacco crop comes from nearly every
State and territory In the Union.
