Chicago Man Has New Kind OF

Chicago, has brought home from Paris
the model of Il dirigible balloon of nov

Guilty, says the Chicago Record. He
combines the two principles in aeronau-
tics of a gas chamber buoXant enough
to suspend the machine and the aero
naut and an aeroplane large enough to
support the machine after it has been
launched.
The cylindrical balloon, which is the
common feature of all the French and
German war machines, he fiattens 10
the form of huge inflated kite, which
when tipped up forward or aft will
soar skyward or skim back to earth
again. The tipping he performs by
shifting the center of gravity of the
car, which is suspended beneath the
kite, with an ingenious system of pull
leys and ropes, which insures in addi-
ton, according to Mr.. de st. Chamas,
the perfect stability &C the carriage
and the consequent comfort of the aero
nauts The lower surface of the gas
balloon is concave, so as to ''hold' the
winds. s

A SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
Twenty-Five Years Constant Use without
Failure

The first indication of Group is
hoarseness, and in a child subject to
that disease it may be taken as sure
sign of the approach of an attack.
Following this hoarseness is peculiar
rough cough. If Cham berlain' Cough
Remedy is given as soon as the child
becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough appears. it will prevent
the attack. 1t is used in many thous-
ands of homes in this broad land and
never dfsappoints the anxious moth
ers. We have yet to learn of single
instance in which it has not proved
effectual. No other preparation can
show such record-twenty-fi years
constant use without failure. For
sale by all druggists.

not know what was occurring. 1t is
stated that they did not take part in
the attack on Or. Hodges and that they
did not even know of it until some time
after, when the local officers came &C.
arrest them. This arrest was accom-
plishcd and the three Italians were ac-

tie time afterward, the mob returned
and took John Cerami and lynched

In this circumstantial way the report
brings out that the mob made three
distinct movements against the ltal.
ians and that there was sufficient time
for the blood 70 cool and for the anger
of the lynchers TO abate after they hac
disposed of the first two men. Particu.

tme, for while it is said there may have
been some eNtenuating circumstances
in visiting such summary punishment

ARRAY with DR.. Hodges, yet the time
elapsing before the second and thirC
lynchings is regarded as an element o.
particular atrocity. The full report

LYNCHINGS.
A Report Made on the Recent Kill
ings at Tallulah, La.
IT PRESENTS A SERIOUS ASPECT.
The Secretary of the Italian Embassy at
Washington Finds the Matter one of
Unusual Atrocity and without Any
Mitigating Circumstances.

Washington. Aug. 9.-The state de-
partment has received from the Italian
authorities copy of the complete re-
port made 10y the Marquis Romano,
secretary of the Italian embassy here,
on his personal investigation of the
recent lynching of five Italians at
Tallulah, La, The report presents the
affair in serious light. As Il whole,
the Italian authorities view the matter
of the lynching as one of unusual
atrocitv and without the mitigating
circumstances which had been urged
in previous affairs of this kind.
In describing the first aifray, which
led up to the lynching, Marquis Ro'
mano's report states that Dr. Hodges
was the first to draw his weapon and
that not until he had fired one shot
and was about to fire the second one at
Charles Difata, who was at that time
PROSTATE on the ground, did his broth
en- Joe Difata, fire his shotgun from
the store near by. This last shot, it is
pointed out, was in defense of the fall
en- brother and was not "A wanton at
tack upon DR.. Hodges. The circum-
stances leading up to the atfray are de-
scribed in detail According to this
account Charles Difata was alone when
DIR. Hodges passed.
There is no effort made in the report
! to obscure the fact that Charles Difata
made the first offensive overture. But
| it is contended that this was not ac-
| companied 10y the use of firearms OF
even movement to draw them. 1t Is
said, however that Charles Difata up
braided DR.. Hodges in an offensive
way for having killed an animal, anc
accompanied this by a blow OF
the fist, Then, it is stated, Dir
Hodges shot at Difata. Whether
or not the shot took effect il
was not possible for the Italian
authorities to learn, as the bodies OF
the men after being lynched, We're dis
figured and disposed of. But at al
events it is stated that Charles DifatG
was on the ground following the sho
from Dr. Hodges weapon. At thi
point Joe Difata made his appearance,
and, seeing his brother down and
second shot to be fred, shot at DIR
Hodges, Then followed the lynchinl
of these two Italians, Joe Difata anC
Charles Difata. The mob took then
before they had been arrested.
Up to this point, according 10 tn

had figured in the affair. The repor

Necessary senator Bur
rows Explains.

Plattsburg. y. y, Aug. 9.-The war
in the Philippines is TO be prosecuted
with a vigor that ought to result in
speedy cessation OF hostilities. The
correspondent of the Associated press
saw Secretary of War Root last night
in the office of the Hotel Champlain
just after he had said good-by to the
president and was preparing to take
the 9;45 train for Washington. "Nill
the war in the Philippines be prosecuted
vigorously from now on?" asked the
correspondent. Mr.. Root turned ON
his heel and replied: YES, sir, the war
i'm the Philippines from now ON will bc
prosecuted with all possible energy.
All the men, all the arms and all the
supplies necessary to end the trouble
in the islands will be furnished at the
earliest possible moment
How large force will be at the
disposal of the commanding general
there" was asked. There will be
10000 men there ready for active serv-
ice at the close of the rainy season,
about the last of October, and more will
be sent there if necessary"
As to the rumor published in some OF
the papers that President Mckinley
and ne were not agreed upon the policy
to be pursued in the Philippines, Mr..
Root said: "Of course, that is all non
sense" When asked whether Gen,
Otis would Ice relieved of the command
of the American forces in the Philip
pines, Mr.. Root replied that he had
nothing to say ON that point at this
time. 1t would be impossible for any
one to be more emphatic or determined
than Secretary Root is in his avowed
policy of ending the trouble in the
Philippines.
! The secretary referred to his visit tC
| Plattsburg barracks in the afternoon
where he witnessed a regimental drill
of the Twenty-siXth regiment under
command of Col. Rice. The regiment
| has been recruited and organized in {
little over three weeks and they drilled
like old veterans "The progress which
the officers and men of the Twenty
sixth regiment have made in drilling
in so short time is simply marvellous, ,
said Mr.. Root. at shows the wonder

ten regiments of volunteer soldiers car
be recruited, organized, drilled anC

stopping now and then to speak to
some poor wounded fellow.

financial standing published a scare
statement that Ernest Myers of South
Dickinson was about to lose 400 cat
tie through Grant Gillett's operations
and that S. G. Cooke, the Herington
banker, was backing him. Mr., Myers
came here today to investigate the
authority of the story which is caus-
ing him and Mr.. Cooke much annoy
ance. He says it is absolutely false,
he has a clear title to the cattle and
has had no trouble. An apology will
be in order. 1t is too bad that sensa-
ton seekers are so ready to injure
financial standing without investiga-
ton.
