The Guthrian draws attention to the
fact that Maj. Conger's appointment
as minister to China is great honor
to himself and to Iowa coming as IL
does just now. The Major was for
mer citizen of Guthrie county, later OF
Dexter, aud is well known and greatly
respected over there. The mission to
China, now that diplomatic affairs
there have recently assumed such i'm
portance by reason of European com,
plications, is one of the most impor-
tant appointments our country has to
make. That young stock raiser IN
western Iowa should in twenty-five
wears attain to that exalted position
shows the possibilities our country has
open to young men of ability and in
tegrlty.

Representative Kelly has introduced

Representative Kelly has introduced
a bill to repeal that part of the Aus
tralian ballot law which prevents a
candidates name appearing on the bal
lot more than once. Mr.. Kelly is bent
on tinkering with the ballot law and
he seems to desire to aid fusion. 1t
seems some people care more for office
than for principle and it looks like Mr..
Kelly is one of them, as he is trying to
get legislation in aid of fusion. We
should think that if mans name was
on the ballot once that that was enough
and he ought to be satisfied, and that
anyone who wanted to vote for him
could do so. Some people are not sat
isfied with a good thing, but want
something better. We think those
legislators who want to change the bal
lot law each session had better remain
at home. The people need less legisla-
ton concerning some things, and this
is one of them.

The old story Of Prometheus is a
parable. Prometheus was Oh terms of
intimacy with the gods. From them
he stole fire, and gave it to men. For
this sin he was bound to the rocks OF
Mount Caucasus, and vultures were
set upon him. They only ate his liver.
This grew again as fast as it was peck
ed away. Are his sufferings to be i'm
agined?
Take modern Interpretation of the
parable. There is no cooking without
fire. In cooking and eating the mis-
chief lies. The stomach is Overtasked,
the bowels become clOgged, they can
not dispose of the food that is given
them. The impurities back up on the
liver. Then come the vultures-the
torments of u diseased liver. DR.

BALLOON FOR WAR PURPOSES

ST r.. &M- g,.s;,.u .H" F @


Chicago, July 4.-Thc balloon re-
ported in nctive use, sailing over the
beleaguered city of Santiago was
shipped from Tampa with Skaters
forces, together with submarine ca
bles and other field telegraph equip
ment now being used by the signal
corps of tho regular army in Cuba. w.
j. Lloyd, assistant district superin-
tcndent of the Western Union Tele-
graph company, says il is probably
one of the finest and most improved
equipments used in warfare. This
balloon was shipped from Paris early
in May, and is being charged with
oxygen gas from the tubular reser-
voirs which have been in use by the
army for experimental purposes at
Fort Riley. The balloon was first
charged, then allowed to ascend by
means of a wire cable from the large
wire cable reel made fast to n field
wagon. The cable is used as n tele-
graph and telephone conductor. and
the occupants of the balloon transmit
to The ground their observations.
There is little danger ct the balloon

been aboard SIMPSONS fleet much of
the anxiety would have been prevent

vera in Santiago harbor. 1t is Mr..
Lloyd's belief that the balloon is in.
charge of Major Joseph e. Maxfield,
formerly signal officer of the depart
ment of Missouri, with General
Brooks, of Chicago. This particular
balloon has a lifting capacity of 900 or
400 pounds. which would enable 1T to
carry two signal men Of ordinary
weight, as well as the necessary telc-
grapl, apparatus. This is believed to
he the first balloon used in actual war
fare on this side of the Atlantic.

Washington Happy.

Washington, July 4.-The inspiring
glorious news thrilled every avenue of
official life and stirred every heart in.
the national capitol today, making it
indeed n glorious Fourth of July.
Word came from Shafter, from Samp-
son and from Dewey, telling OF sue
cesses already achieved, and those
near at hand. The widest and most
indescribable enthusiasm greeted
Simpsons dispatch announcing u
complete humiliation OF Cervera's
fleet and the surrender of the admiral
himself with 1900 Spanish prisoners.
Cheer after cheer rang through the
corridors OF the state, war and navy
bnilding. A surging mass of news
paper correspondents struggled about
the bulletin boards and hundreds OF
officials and clerks crowded up to hear
the stirring Jews. First the hurrahs
started in the navy department, but
as the word was passed along the cry
was taken up until every hall and cor
ridor echoed with the cheers of VIC
tory.
Soon the news spread outside and
ran to tile Fourth of July crowds until
the whole national capital was sharing
in the cheers.
To say the glad tidings were vel
come to the president and his advisers
but family tells the sentiments it in
spired among them and in I'LL official
quarters. 1t was accepted not only as
a glorious victory on the national day
of the republic, but n which dealt
such a deadly blow to Spain she could
not rise again. SIMPSONS announce
ment of his astounding work on Ger
vera's squadron and several ofShaftcr's
dispatches were made public. One of
the latter stated he had the enemy
surrounded on the north and east. An
other made the statement: II feel I'm
master of the situation and can hold
the enemy any length OF time In
still another he said his demand for
the surrender Of Santiago is still being
considered by the Spanish authorities.
Yet another, probably the most i'm
portant of all, was not made public. 1t
covered five or six pages Of telegraph
paper, typewriter. Briefly and semi
officially the contents arc summarized
as follows:
.Shaftcr has made o demand for the
surrender of Santiago. This at first
was refused by the Spanish command
er, but the demand was apparently
taken under consideration. Skaters
notice was that he would begin the
bo~mbardment of the city today unless
the surrender was made.

Audibs,ity OF Thunder,

Industries and Iron: While light
ming may be seen and its illumination
of clouds and mist, may be recognized
when it is even 200 miles distant, thun-
der is rarely audible more than ten
miles. The thunder from cry distant
storms, therefore, seldom reaches tho
tainty in the audibility of thunder is
not difficult to understand. 1t de-
ponds, not merely on the initial ill
tensity of the crash, but quite as much
on the surroundings of the observer,
eve rs in the quiet country one will
observe feeble sounds hat Escape tho
ear In u noisy city. Perhaps the most
curious and important condition of
audibility is that the thunder wave
of sound shall not be refractcd or re-
fected by the layers of warm and cold
uir between the observer and the light
ming or by the layers OF wind swift
above and slow below, so as entirely I'd
pass over and around the observer.
Sound, in it's wave like progress OH
liquely through layers of air and Diff
ferent densities. is subject to refrac-
ton, and this refraction may occur at
any time and place. Thus, observers
Mt the topmnst of u ship frequently
hear fog whistles that are inaudible at
sea level; those on hilltops hear thun-
der that cannot be heard in the Valley.
those in front of an obstacle hear
sounds inaudible to those behind it.
The rolling Of thunder, like that OF a
distant cannonade, may be largely due
to special reflections and refractions of
sound. Again, the greater velocity of
the air at considerable altitude above
tho ground distorts the sound wave
and shortens the limit Of %audibility to
the leeward, while increasing 1T to the
windward.
