Will Not Have to Borrow.

:" AAA NOt nave 10 0OTEOW.
st. PauL-It looks as though it will
not be necessary for the state treasurer
to borrow money to make good the in
creasing overdraft in the general re-
venue fund.
During the past week the fund re.
ceived about $50, 900 as the result of
the purchase of state capitol certificates
with state school moneys Now the
shortage in the general revenue ac-
count is accordingly decreased to $780,
900. Though this deficit will be ma
terially increased again, there is some
thing over 5000, 900 in county taxes,
due June 20, still unpaid. OF this
amount nearly $780, 900 will enter the
general revenue fund, and the bal
ance may be used on oyerdrafts
Counties which have as yet failed to
send in their taxes to the state are
Hennepin, Ramsey, St. Louis, Bel
trami, Clearwater, Fillmore, Carlton,
Hubbard, Itasca, Kanabec, Otter Tail,
Pine and Sherburne.

The Standard is not Directing to the

the roads were ordered to carry oil

Use Automobile.

St. Paul-What is probably the only
automobile in use by rural mail car
rier in the country leaves here every
morning for New Canada and vicinity.
Gerhard Melchoir is the enterprising
carrier who has introduced this inno-
walton in the method of serving the pat
irons on his route, and he can be seen
starting out on his daily round from
the Bradley street station shortly after
9 o'clock every morning.
The means of locomotion is an i'm
portant one for the rural carrier, as he
must make his daily tour in all kinds
Of weather, and he naturally tries to

261,974.

Minneapolis.-Fi official censu.
figures place the population of this
city at 261,974. This is gain of
50, $50 since the federal census of 1900.
The gain is the greatest of any five
year period in the history of the city:
Secretary of State Peter E. Hanson
announced the returns, after the final
checking had been done. The show
ing made by Minneapolis is a surprise
to the most sanguine enthusiasts in
the matter of the city's growth. The
most hopeful hardly dared to make ad-
vance estimates much closer to the &C.
tual results than 5000 under the fig

got off by promising to make still
better fight next time.
SO keen was the interest taken by
the crowd in the sky yacht that they
remained until the gas bag was fas-
tened down close to the frame work
and the Arrow disappeared inside the
aerodrome.
Baldwin Satisfied
Captain Baldwin said after the
fight: II think now that the people
will believe that there is really some
thing in our claims of what we can
do. There are many people who will
tell you that aerial navigation is i'm
possible; and there are those who say
that we have it today. Both are
wrong. We will have it some day, but
at the present time the experimenters
in various parts of the world are just
beginning to see success ahead.
MANY people want to know why we
do not do this or that. Let them build
an airship and they will find out for
themselves. If they are not willing to
do that they will have to take our
word for it that we know what is best.
The Arrow is the result of a careful
study of what other men in the world
have been doing and about eighteen
years of constant experimenting and
study on my part. Yet it is not per-
feet 1t is as a wheelbarrow to an au-
tomobile to what / expect to see be-
fore many years.
II am fully convinced that we are
on the right track, but no one mind
can solve this problem of aerial navi-
CATION. 1t will take the time and the
brains of many men, just as it did to
develop the automobile.

Well, should say so. We will expert
ment here all winter, and fully ex-
pect to be able to give exhibitions
that will be even more remarkable
than the fight today.
1.-THE new motor is a wonder and I
think it a long step toward solving the
problem of power for airships. don't
believe it missed a single explosion
after it started. The new frame is
another improvement. We are expert
menting in an entirely new field and
we learn something every time"

Hearing how Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound had saved other women from
serious operations decided to try il, and in
less than four months | was entirely cured;
and words fail to express my thankfuness."
Miss Margret Merlley of 275 Sd
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"Loss Of strength, extreme nervousness,
severe shooting pains through the pelvic
organs, cramps, bearing down pains, and
extreme irritation compelled me to seek
medical advice. The doctor, after making
an examination, said that had ovarian trou-
BILE and liberation and advised an operation
as my only hope. To this | strongly objected
and decided as last resort to try Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
ITO my surprise the liberation healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared, and am once
more strong, vigorous and well; and can
not express my thanks for what it has done
for me-"
Ovarian and womb troubles are
steadily on the increase among women
and before submitting to an opera
ton every woman should try Lydia e.
| Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
write Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass.
| for advice.
For thirty years Lydia e. Pinkham's
| Vegetable Compound has been curing
the worst forms of female complaints,
all ovarian troubles, inflammation, ul-
ceration, falling and displacement of
the womb, leucorrhea, irregularities,
indigestion and nervous prostration.
Any woman who could read the many
grateful letters on file in Mrs. Pink
hams office would be convinced of the
efficiency of her advice and Lydia e.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-01-30

When physician tells woman, suf-
fering from ovarian or womb trouble,
that an operation is necessary it, of
course, frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. AS one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation. she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operationsl
It is quite true that these troubles
may reach stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because a great many women have
been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham S
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an opera ton must be per-
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief, this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrite Ryan, Treasurer of st. An
drew's Society, Hotel English, Indian
apolis, Ind. writes of her cure as follows;
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
"I cannot find words to express my thanks
for the good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did me- The doctor said could
not get well unless l had an operation for

not stand the strain Of an operation and made

ARROW SCARS
As HUGE BIRD
AIRSHIP MAKES GREATEST
FLIGHT IN HISTORY
Under Perfect Control Of sky chauf-
feur Balloon Surpasses All Exc
etations-Inventor
Confident

The aerial marvel of the day, Capt.
Thomas S. Baldwifi's trim sky yacht
california Arrow" made what Is prob
ably the most successful fight in the
annals of aerial navigation, when it
arose from its anchorage in Chutes
baseball park yesterday afternoon and
after sailing over the city for three
quarters of an hour, returned to the
park and landed easily, having trav-
eled about eight miles.
Roy Knabenshue, the captain of the
little airship, displayed great skill in
the handling of his craft and had the
Arrow at all times under perfect con-
troll. At his call of Let her co. the
oonfinng ropes were cast off and the
dainty sky ship with a sweep arose on
the. wind and sailed away to the east,
followed by the ringing cheers of many
thousands of spectators
Gould the daring navigator of the
air really handle that seemingly flimsy
ship of silk and wood'?" would he
be able to return to the park?" These
were the questions on thousands of lips,
for the eager watchers knew of the
previous attempts which had been un-
successful.
Under Perfect Control
After sailing a half-mile Knabenshue
swung the Arrow to the southwark and
then headed west, directly against the
wind
Knabenshue held his course until he
passed directly over the park at an
altitude of about 1000 feet, and as he
passed over he leaned from the slender
Below the scene was indescribable and
must have looked like sea of color
TO the aeronaut, for the inclosure was
filed with gaily dressed women waving
handkerchiefs, and men shouting and
swinging their hats in salutation.
When the park had been left behind
the Arrow was headed north and after
holding this course for a few minut es
Knabenshue steered east again. A
second time the little sky craft sailed
over the ball grounds, and then back
over the same course with the wind.
Then Knabenshue began to descend.
circling like gull and gradually COM
ing nearer the earth. When about
500 feet above the ground the only
mishap of the trip occurred, and it
threatened to spoil what promised to
be a successful flight, and for a time
Knabenshue was in considerable dam
ger.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-01-30
Rudder Entangled


rudder was hauled so far to one side
that the steering ropes had no lever
age ON it and the Arrow sailed in a
circle, rising higher and higher every
moment.
The daring aeronaut, who could be
distinguished against background of
sky, working and endeavoring to get
his steering gear readjusted. He grew
smaller and smaller as the Arrow
mounted higher. When it was seen
that he was crawling slowly back to-
ward the stern of the almost invisible
framework the great multitude hardly
breathed.
Suddenly the rudder swung back into
it's proper position and instantly u
shout arose from thousands of throats
that was at once a cry of relief and a
cheer for the splendid nerve of the COM
mander of the airship.
Desccnds in Safety
Above the lower strata of air a
heavy wind was blowing and this car
ried the Arrow a mile away from the
park, but on regaining control of his
ship Knabenshue began the descent
in earnest. Several times he circled
the park, coming nearer the earth all
the time and at last the Arrow was
thrown into the wind directly above
her anchorage and the motor slowed
down until the ship just held it's own
against the wind. Knabenshue moved
forward on his framework and tilted
the front end down until the top of
the gas bag presented an inclined
ship gradually settled down into the
park as steadily as steamer coming
to the dock of quiet harbor. So
skillfully did Knabenshue handle his
craft that she made no headway and
settled directly where he desired. No
the aeronaut using the power of the
wind to force his craft to the earth.
When the anchor rope had been Sc
cured the engine was stopped and the
Arrow floated peacefully above the
throng that filled the ball grounds.
Throng About knabenshue
When the Arrow was drawn down
and placed on the "horses" the guards
We're unable to keep back the crowd
which pushed and showed and fairly
tumbled over each other in their ef-
forts to reach the side of the Arrow
and shake hands with its daring cap
tain. Knabenshue stayed on his
framework where no harm could come
TO him and shook as many of the out
stretched hands as he could reach.
Women pushed men aside to congrat-
ulate the aeronaut. but the climax
was reached when one fond mother
held up her baby for the hero to kiss.
Knabenshue bestowed hearty smack
upon one of the chubby hands OF the
infant.
When Capt. Baldwin climbed aboard
his ship he found he would have to
say something or be mobbed and so
responded with a short speech. tell
ing of his experiences with the Arrow.
Then 1t was Knabenshue's turn and he

Aeronaut Tells of Flight

Roy Knabenshue, who handles the
way the ship behaved since she was
refitted and said: 1.-THE only trouble
had was with the rudder, and for
a while was afraid that it was going
to spoil the flight, but managed to
pull it back into place. There was a
strong wind blowing up there and it
flattened out the front of the gas bag
considerably.
"How fast can the Arrow travel?
Well, / think that she is good for
eighteen or twenty miles an hour and
the gasoline tank will carry enough
oil to keep her going for about two
hours and half"
Long before time for the ascension
the streets leading to the park were
crowded with hurrying people and
those Immediately surrounding it were
thronged with men, women and chill
dren eagerly watching for the trim
little airship to appear above the
buildings. Three thousand people
found their way into the ball grounds
where the Arrow lay at anchor. Five
thousand more crowded the Chutes
grounds. +.
1t is safe to say that there was
hardly home in Los Angeles from
which somebody was not watching for
the Arrows appearance, and II was the
chief topic of conversation on the
streets everywhere. 1t is probable
that 25.0OO people were gathered within
radius of few blocks of the ball
park, but the number who actually
watched the fight cannot even be con-
jectured.
The Arrow is in reality dirigible
balloon, and is made up of a cigar
shaped gas bag fifty-five feet long and
seventeen feet in diameter containing
5000 cubic feet OF hydrogen gas. The
bag is made OF fine quality OF

Where Doctors Agree

When a patient is under the doc tors care for some months, with constantly varying symptoms, but ever increasieg weakness from the loss of flesh and strength by the ravages of disease, all Doctors will agree that the first gain of flesh indicates change for the better. Weak, thin, feshless people, know that they feel better as soon as they gain flesh. The best flesh and blood maker is Dr. Gunn's Blood & Nerve Tonic. For pimply, pale and sickly people, both young and old, a bet ter medicine was never made. It turns the food you eat into strong. red blood, making solid flesh and muscle at the rate of 1 to 8 lbs, per week. It is sold by all druggists for 75c, per box, or 8 boxes for $2.
