| The boys had the ship all to them
selves, aside from the commanding of
! ficcrs, during the entire eight days.
They went aboard Saturday. The day

occupied with target practice. At night
the men were at liberty in the city.
Tuesday the ship returned to Chicago.
Wednesday was spent at MuskegOn
making Il survey for the new naval
| station the government proposes 10
| eating at that point. The following
| day and TWO nights the boys were at
Ottawa Beach, where they met a num-
Der of Rock Islanders who are spend
| ing the summer at that resort, and by
| whom they were entertained rOpally.
I Saturday morning the Rock Island
tars turned over the ship to the Al
ton division.
COmpIimcnted by state officers.
The division was highly cOmpIi-
mentCd by the state officers for eff
cheney at drill and target practice and
on its general appearance. The chief
engineer of the Dorothea commended
! the engineers OF the division in high
est terms, stating they were without
equal in any of the men he had met
in the militia of the state. As a result
of his recommendation, Leonard
| Stromberg, of the Rock Island divis-
ion. leaves tonight for Chicago to be

THREE NIGHTS IN A cREvAssE
Terrible Experience Of Three German
Climbers on the Jungfrau.

1erflDle 61peIlSuCS OI AHIeS 0oIuldA
Climbers on the Jungfrau.
The adventures of three young
Germans on the Jungfrau have been
the topic of much discussion and
the cause of great anxiety at Grin
delwald. A few days ago the three
young men, two of whom have had
considerable Alpine experience,
while the third, an Alsacian, is a
novice, started without guide to
make one more of those foolish at
tempts at big climb unaided which
have been so common and so fatal
this season. Leaving Lauterbrun-
men in the afternoon they passed
the night at the Rottal cabin. A
storm, however, overlook them on
the way up, a signal of danger
which no prudent Alpinist would
have failed to profit by. At 2 a. m.
the next morning, though bad
weather was threatening, they re-
sumed their march. The Alsacian
was already showing signs of dis
tress, but refused to go back or TO
listen to the advice of his more ex-
perienced companions. T hire e
hours afterwards a binding snow
storm broke over them, rendering
progress both dangerous and diff
cult, and blotting out all signs of
the track and landmarks. Plod-
ding doggedly on, however, the trio
managed to reach the Siblehorn
slopes, little below the summit,
where they we're compelled to pass
the night.
Shelter was difficult to find, and
their position appeared desperate,
when one of the party noticed that
a crevasse near at band appeared to
terminate at depth of some 20
feet. Carefully roping himself, one
of the party was lowered over the
edge and found that there was suf-
fcient space and excellent shelter
at the bottom. BY firmly wedging
their ice axes into the ice his COM
panions were able to lower them
selves also, and in this confined
space, walled in by solid ice and in
imminent danger from falling Ice
above, the night was spent. For
tunately small stove and a good
supply of eatables formed part Of
the climbers equipment, and the
hot coffee which they were enabled
to brew probably was the means Of
saving their lives. Huddled to-
gether and almost frozen, the three
waited tor dawn. The snow, how
ever, still fell pitilessly all next

Cheapest Clubbing
RQte Gper Q)ffere0

We have Just entered into a club
bling arrangement with the Nashville
Banner. We can now offer that ex-
cellent daily with The Commercial at
the exceedingly low price of $3.50 per
year for the two. This is 81 so less
than the regular price of the Banner
alone, and does not cover the cost of
the white paper used In the two pub
locations. 1t is not often that the
public has the opportunity Discerning
a high-class paper like the Banner at
such an exceedingly low price. This
offer is only made during the cam
paign, and should be taken advantage
of at once. Everybody wants the
freshest and most reliable news re-
gardinP the Presidential election and
the RuSs0-Japanese war.
The Banner is the best paper in
Tennessee. 1t is published in the
capital city, and prints all the news.
1t has the full service of the Assoclat-
ed Press, besides a Special Cable Serv-
ice to all parts of the globe, enabling
it to promptly give its readers the
fullest and most reliable reports OF
every happening Of Importance, no
matter where it may occur.
1t has an able editorial and reporto-
rial staff; a splendid corps of special

day and the day following progress
or retreat was impossible, and
second night and then. a third, had
to be faced in the icy shelter.
The Alsacian, unable to stand
the bitter cold, began to complain
of severe pains in his feet, well
known sign of evil omen among
snow climbers. Next morning his
two companions emerged from their
refuge to find the weather still aud
clear, and completed the ascent, re-
turning to find their companion ev-
identity in great pain ami quite I'M
able to move. The two others
thereupon set off for the Concordia
hut, halt leading and half carrying
their unfortunate comrade. There
the half frozen man was left while
one of his friends FASTENED down to
the Eggishorn hotel. A relief party
was at once sent out, and with
great difficulty the sufferer was
borne down to the hotel. Both his
feet were frozen and his condition
for some time caused the greatest
anxiety. Meantime, from the Lau-
terbrunnen side march parties were
at work hunting for the rissing
men, who, it was believed, could
not have lived through three days
of such weather on the icy heights
of the Jungfrau. 1t is said to be
the first time that climbing party
has ever emerged safely from so
prolonged stay below the surface
of the glacier ice. Geneva Core
