Spelterini had been looking down on
Italian soil for two hours Then the bal.
loon began to move northward over Lake
Maggiore and into the region to the north
of the lake. Darkness was rapidly ap-
I preaching and the aeronaut decided to
land near the mountain town of Birsago,
but through his glass he could find no
favorable landing place and so concluded
to spend the night In the air.
AS darkness fell around him scarcely
breath of air was stirring and through
out the night the traveller could scarcely
detect any movement of the balloon. He
found in the morning. however, that he
had drifted thirty miles to the west and
was over the Italian town of Peccia.
For hours on the previous day and at
sunrise on the 18th the aeronatu enjoyed
the most glorious Alpine views. He saw
beneath him the whole great panorama
of the Swiss and Italian Alps, sharply de-
fined in the transparent air: He saw the
great central plain of Switzerland, and
far to the north a streak of hay brown
showing the position of the Juras.
1t was bitter cold. but he was well
equipped for low temperature and his
physical discomfort was not so great as
to impair his enjoyment OF the prospect
beneath him. a prospect more magnif-
cent than any of the glorious views that
may be seen from the tops of the Alps.
At sunrise the balloon was again mo-
tionless. and he decided to throw out
more ballast and see if he could get pro-
Polling power in a higher strata of the
air. He soon assembled to a height OF
over 1900 feet. where very weak wind
took him slowly to the north
This journey clearly revealed one cause
of inaccurate weather reports. The move
ments Of air currents are an important
factor in weather predictions; but there
are movements of air strata that are be
yond the ken of observers, and so some
elements which have to do with weather
conditions can not be reckoned with
AS far as could be ascertained at the
start the conditions for a northern fight
Of the balloon were perfect; but there
were other air movements above these
which were observed and these currents
prevented the aeronaut from making the
journey he mplated.-Cincinnau

AERONAUT'S JOURNEY ABOVE
ALPS.


The Italian aeronaut, L. Spelterin,
spent twenty hours in his balloon Stella
on September Il and IS, 1903. at heights of
from 10000 to 1890 feet, in an attempt
to sail north over the Alps to the Rhine
He was defeated by adverse winds, but
nevertheless made a wonderful journey.
The few attempts at ballooning in high
mountain regions have been regarded as
especially interesting from scientific
point of view, and this aspect of Spelter-
ini's eXploint was&very important. He has
just printed in the German Aeronaut-
isChen Mittellungen the only details of
his journey that have Yet appeared.
He waited day after day at Zermatt.
the starting point for the Matterhorn. for
wind conditions that would take him
north across the Bernese Alps, the CEN
trail Swiss plain and the Juras to Ger
many. On September Il the favorable
hour seemed TO have come.
a gentle breeze was blowing from the
south. The stations on the Saints. Colt
hard and Gornergrat reported weak
south wind At II o'clock a small balloon
sent up by Spelterini floated to the north
northeast toward Mount Dom.
4 few minutes after l o'clock another
trial balloon rising from Zermatt made
direct for the Weisshorn to the north.
The clouds were moving northward and
everything seemed propitious.
AT lis p. m. the Stella was cast loose
from her anchorage ground rose with
great rapidity to height OF 1890 feet
and drifted away directly north toward
the Weisshorn. The day was very warm
and the overheated balloon rose to this
height without and expenditure OF bal
last. But three was little wind and her
progress at first was only about six miles
an hour.
The air was very clear and a dozen per
sons at Zermatt were watching the bal
loon through telescopes until she was
finally lost to view in the neighborhood
OF Weisshorn. Every one supposed that
the air vessel would certainly pass over
the grea, SUBMITS and proceed on her
northern Journey
But something unexpected occurred To
clear the tops Of the mountains safely
Spelteriui emptied a considerable part Of
his ballast from the saRdhags and as
scended 70 q height Of about l7.Sso feet.
Here he struck a current Of air that
could not be reported from the high sta
tions. 1t was a steady wind from the
vest. and the balloon suddenly paused in
its northern fight and drif;ed rapidly to
the east

SLEEP IS PRICELESS
But Il Can Be Obtained by Simple
Methods

Are vol, a hard worker? Are you over
come with fatigue at the end OF each
days labor, and instead of retiring TO bed
with feeling of satisfaction at the pros
pect of a nights repose, do you wait for
the hour of bedtime with dread and
shrinking?
Is it your unhappy lot to be awakened
every night, just after you have dropped
off to sleep. by an intense ,uncontroll-
able itching of the rectum? Do you then
endeavor to relieve the sensation by
scratching so desperately that the skin
becomes raw and Iacerated. and you fin
ally sink into the sleep of exhaustion?
II so YOU do not need to be told that
you are afflicted with the itching piles.
You have probably tried every remedy
you could hear of. with but temporary
relief, if any, and have concluded there
was nothing left for you but 10 drag out
a miserab bic existence. As a drowning
man grasps at a straw. SO should you
eagerly devour the words of ". o. Mil

l have tried almost everything without

We vouch for the authenticity of this

HANNA STILL REFUSES
 TO COMMIT HIMSELF.

Several members of congress called in dividually upon Senator Hanna today and tried to get him to announce as a candi- date for President against Roosevelt The senator declined to do so.
 He will not announce as a candidate for President nor will he go to the length the administration people wish him and say that he will not accept the republican nomination if it Is offered One of the members who saw Senator Hanna. how ever said that he had not abandoned all hope of some word from the senator to the effect that he may be considered in the race. This member added:
 Tt seems to me that Senator Hanna g nomination is almost vital to the success of the republican party this year. Take Indiana. for example. In 1896 we carried the state by about 1S000. Mckinley, a popular man. headed the ticket We had campaign fund of s150.0o0 to spend in the state and were enforced by the bra<1s of the democratic party.
 "The democrats had not a cent. Let the democrats put man like Tom Tag gart at the head of their campaign com mittee and let them have anything like the money we had in Indiana and there is no telling what will happen. Of course we expect to carry Indiana if Roosevelt Is the nominee, but"

RICHARDSON THINKS GORMAN
 WILL GET THE NOMINATION

T do not believe MT. Bryan is correct in his reported statement that the man who will be nominated at the St. Louis con vention for President of the United States will be a dark horse" said Representa- tive Richardson of Alabama today
 .It looks to me as if the fight will be entirely between German and Parker, continued Mr. Richardson. For long time I was inclined to be very favorable to Judge Parker's candidacy, but l am now convinced that Senator German would be the better man to nominate.
 'The great difficulty about Judge Far ker is that we know nothing about him. Occupying as he does a judicial position. he has not had an opportunity to get his
