With the Wind Behind an AirsEip Makes
Special That Is Considered
Extraordinary.


Paris, Nov. 13.-One of the greatest
triumphs of dirigible ballooning was
achieved by the Lebaudy brothers,
whose airship in one hour and thirty
five minutes covered the forty-six miles
separating Moisson and the Champ de
Mars, Paris. The balloon attained an
extraordinarily high speed, dashing
through the air some times at the rate
of two-t thirds of a mile minute, the
main speed being twenty-nine miles
per hour.
When the balloon mounted at Mois-
son moderate breeze was blowing in
the direction of Paris. The Lebaudys
were not in the balloon, which was
steered by pilot, Juchmes, assisted
by a machinist

the first shot Of the strike was fired
at Wentworth avenue. and West Six
ty-ninth street, where a mob of sever
al hundred persons tried to hold UP a
train. Many persons, chiefly non-union
street car men, were injured by flying
stones or splintered glass. Two wom-

a few dozen passengers who had to
flee from the cars the 100000 daily
patrons of the company were forced
to all sorts Of other methods in order
to get downtown and back.
Once Is Enough for the Men.
With faces and hands bleeding from
the attacks of the strikers motormen,
grip-men and conductors who tried to
run trains returned to the barns and
refused to go out again unless the
trains bore platoons of police or patrol
wagons were alongside. The police
confined their efforts to seeing that the
passage of cars from the barns was
unobstructed and that crowds and
blockades in the streets We're quickly
cleared. This was done under orders
from Mayor Carter III. Harrison, whose
announced purpose was to preserve an
impartial attitude, taking sides either
for nor against the strikers OF the
street car company.

Alfalfa Wouldn't Grow.

Flood note from the Rossville News:
The report of d. M. Howard in re-
gard to alfalfa growing on the new farm
that was placed on top of his old farm
is not favorable. He sowed 1t to alfalfa
in hopes that it would grow and do
we'll till the roots could reach the old
soil down below. They would have to
go down a foot on an average. 1t
came up in fine shape and looked well.
1t soon showed that the soil was not
fitting to the alfalfa as it commenced
to die and is nearly all dead now,
causing loss of forty dollars in seed
besides the labor All he has left is
the information-that it will not grow
alfalfa for the first crop although the
cottonwood and willow has grown
finely ma king a growth, on an average,
of two feet from the seed since the
flood. Like a true Kansan he has not
given up yet and will try a different
crop to develop this new soil. Alfalfa
sown on usual soil is doing nicely.
