One Block of Furnaces of Lanyon
Zinc Co. Shut Down at lola

lola, Oct. 12.-One block Of furnaces
was shut down at works number one of
the Lanyon Zinc company Monday, and
will not be operated until the present
price of jack and spelter adjusts itself.
The company has not been selling
spelter for some time and has stacks of
it, estimated to be worth as high as
5000 900 piled up at the factory.
They have on hand large amount OF
jack and can operate, so it is estimated,
for month without buying any more.
The mine operators have decided to re-
main closed down another week, last

He had gone to the voting place to

have elected her, but he changed his
mind, not knowing how much he had to
go up against, and he concluded it
would be a better business proposition

WAR BALLOON ADVENTURE

[Rome Cor. of The London Globe.1
The Balloon Corps of the italian army
has been exercising in Rome recently,
and experienced the following curious and
unpleasant interruption on August "a. 1t
appears that sudden gust of wind swept
away the balloon, made of silk, and the
soldiers holding it by ropes, had to let
them go for fear of being carried on by
the balloon, which at once rose and made
for the hillside district. Toward evening
it came to earth at the village of Palom-
baro and then its troubles really began.
The whole population of the neighbor-
hood ran to meet the beautiful, stlVery
shining balloon and soon took 1t prts-

some of them maintained that the bal

to force the balloon through the door,
because he resisted with all his strength
the efforts being made to make him enter
the church by force. A final attempt was

In the church all was darkness. Some
candles were at once brought as the VII
