looked upon the newspapers as the

accordance with their advice. He
said he was governor to carry out the
public will, no matter what his opin-

might be in regard to any matter of
official interest. In fact, he often act

wind that blows and may be found
thousand miles hence, or it may
wander around and when the gas has
leaked, fall close to where the ascen-
sion was made.
When the balloon arose it carried
a huge light that burned for possibly
half an hour. 1T rose rapidly and
was caught by a wind from the south
west. The breeze was st1,ong and
the light was seen moving north
west through the sky. 1t arose and
struck another current and struck off
due east, rising higher and soon dis
appeared.
The balloon will rise and fall with
the temperature, until it finally de
sends. AS it strikes the colder strata
Of air the gas will condense and the
airship will fall. When it strikes the
warm atmosphere near the earth, il
will expand and the balloon will
again rise. This it will repeat many
times. Then the balloon may be
seen in scores of places before il
comes near enough to the earth tc

A Point That Won q Lawsuit For
William Mckinley.
A year or two after William McKin-

at Canton, O., he distinguished himself
in a humorous fashion in one of his
first successful cases. AS often hap

Gus purpose Mr.. Edward T. Roe in
1.-THE Life Work Of William Mckinley"
tells the story.
The case was a suit against sur
geon, whom the plaintiff charged with
having set his leg SO badly that it was
bowed. Mckinley defended the sur
geon and found himself pitted against
John McSweeney, one Of the most brill
liant lawyers Of the Ohio bar.
McSweeney brought his client into
court and had him expose the injured
limb to the jury. 1t was very crooked,
and the case looked bad for the sur

HAVE YOU seen
THE BALLOON !?
May Be Floating Yet Somewhere
Above Us.
SENT UP FROM FAIR GROUNDS
Carries a Season icket to the Big
Show Which Is Worth a Good
Deal to the Finder.

Floating somewhere in the earth's
atmosphere, free to wander whittier
soever it may, is a balloon that is
worth any mans while to capture.
The balloon itself is silk struct-
ure, 20 feet in diameter, 80 feet long,
made of heavy yellow silk and cover
ed with rope netting. This great
airship is worth $500 ON the market,
and it belongs without any reservar
ton whatever to the person who cap
lures it.
And this is not all. For, securely
fastened to the bottom of the balloon
in silk bag, oiled so as to keep out
the moisture, is document which
gives the captor of the airship a
ticket to the Louisiana Purchase ex-
position good for the entire season.
The balloon is one of several that
assembled at St. Louis on Thursday
night of the dedication period. Mr..
Pain, who had charge of the pyro-
technics at the dedication, had a
number of captive balloons that were
to figure in a spectacular aerial dis
play, but several of them escaped
and these balloons have been falling
in different parts of the country. One
was recovered by Oren Ballentine,
at Soronto, ILL.,, and another by James
c. Hinsey, at Worden, Ill.
But neither Of these balloons is the
prize-bearer. This particular balloon
which was dispatched on its journey,
destination unknown, was sent up by
Aeronaut Carl Meyer after dark
Thursday, April 80. It's only cargo
was a message, written on official
worlds fair stationery, and signed
officially by President Francis, con-

The great balloon was filled with
hydrogen gas, more than $4,000 cubs

5000. This is sufficient to keep the
balloon in the air for two or three

THE DOMAIN OF DESPAIR.
That Awful Great Basin Between the
Rockies and the Sierras.

There are various kinds and degrees
of deserts in this country, but the most
utterly hopeless are found i'll the so
called Gtaat basin between the Rock
les and the Sielras. This is Il vast re-
gion of deserts, with here and there an
area where nature in prankish mood
seems actually to have made an effoEt
to produce spectacular effects of hor-
ror From the Wasatch mountains to

stretch of territory which is intersect-
ed by series of high mountain ranges
running parallel north and south, with
valleys between.
A birdseye view of the landscape
shows three principal ranges, two of
which are known as the Amargosa and
Panamint, and between these is Death
valley, so called because it is the very
abode of death.
Imagine a narrow strip of arid plain
shut in between two mighty mountain
walls, the peaks stretching up 10000
feet into burning sky. The surface
of this plain, which is 175 feet below
sea level, is a mere crust of salt and
alkali, through which ridden horse
breaks up to his knees into a horrid
paste than eats both hair and hide.
A gray haze that never lifts makes
everything indistinct and puzzling to
the view. No vegetation is to be seen
save a very scanty sagebrush, with
leaves that are not green, but gray, and
here and there a sort of cactus that
grows to five or six feet in height, with
extended branches. 1t is called the

stalk looks like corpse by the way
side.

is the heat, which Is unspeakable,

open, as usual, and fixed them keeniy
on the other mans leg.
AS soon as the plaintiff was turned
over to him he asked that the other les
should also be barred. The plaintiff and
McSweeney objected vigorously, but
the judge ordered it done. Then it APP
pcared that his second leg was still
more crooked than that which the sur
geon had set.

by this man than nature itself did,"
