WOMAN AERoNAuT KILLED.
Fell from Balloon High in Air and
Dashed to instant Death.

AT Anderson, S. c., Thursday af.
ternoon, Mrs. Maude Broadwick, wife
( Charles Broadwick, an aeronaut
with Riders southern carnival COM
pany, fell from balloon, high in air,
and was instantly killed.
Mrs Broadwick was an experience
ed balloonist herself and had made
TWO ascensions. Her husband was to
make the ascension and parachute
drop Thursday, and she was standing
by to give the signal to cut the ropes
when all was ready.
She gave the signal all right, and
when the balloon shot UP into the ali
she was seen hanging to the ropes be-
tween the balloon and the parachute
After she had reached a distance OF
200 Or 800 feet she dropped to the
earth, striking on the hard ground
and was instantly killed. About 1000
persons witnessed the tragedy.
Broadwick, who was fastened into
the parachute with belt, went up
some distance higher and then cut
loose and descended in safety.
Most of the carnival people are in.
clined to the opinion that Mrs Broad
wick's death was due to suicide rather
than an accident. They say Broadwick
and his wife had been quarreling for
a week or more, and this, together
with the fact that she was an expert
enced aeronaut, and there were ne
projecting ropes about the balloon
harness liable to entangle a person
lead them to the suicide theory.

Stevens, case unIqae.


A long ard difficult case requiring
several weeks OF close attention, ex-
posture and daring ventures is that
which developed at Macon the past
week in the commitment OF w. d.
Stevens to Jail with bond fixed at
$500 to await trial in the United
States court on a charge Of fraudulent
use of the mails to assist New York
green goods" men in circulating let
tiers for the purpose Of swindling on
a large scale.
According to the evidence furnished
by Postoffice Inspector H. T. Gregory
before Commissioner L. M. Erwin,
this game was worked among Geor-
gia farmers. Stevens himself admit
ted that he had lost $500 when he
first dealt with the green goods
people. When the inspector was put
upon the case it was through COM
plants made by others, but in an
swering a proposition with view OF
offering opportunity for the swindlers
to work the game upon himself he
was referred to Stevens, according to
his statements to the officer.

CHlLOB ZEN ARE MANGLEO
In Wreck Of Bank BUILDING by Gas
ExpIosidA Besides the Killed,
Thirteen Persons Were Hurt

A special from IshpemihS, Mich,
says three children are dead and
thirteen ARE injured, one fatally, as
the result of an explosion there Sun
day, which destroyed the Miners Ma
tional bank,
The dad: Steven Goodman, aged
~ years; Alice MCGEE, aged 10
years; Edward McGrath, aged IL
years. James F. Mullen was fatally
injured.
A gas leakage In the basement OF
the bank building was primarily re-
sponsibl9 for the explosion and loss
Of life. Gas was detected coming
from the building, and two workmen
went in the basement about o'clock
Sunday morning with lighted candles
to investigate. The flames evidently
ignited the gas in the basement, for
a tremendous explosion followed.
The two workmen were blown
through a basement window and
landed uninjured in an open box car
standing on nearby track. The build,
ing was completely wrecked, The
three children were passing the build
ing on their way home from church,
and were caught in the falling debris.
All the teams in the city were sum-
moned to the scene and the work OF
moving the huge piles of debris ana
extricating those under them was
rushed.
The explosion broke windows in
many stores in the business district
and scattered the papers and docu-
ments OF the bank for blocks around.

OLD FASHIONED FARE:
Hot Biscuits, Griddle CakesD Pies and
Puddingss

The food that made the fathers
strong is sometimes unfit for the chill
dren under the new conditions that our
changing civilization is constantly
bringing in. One Of Mr.. Bryan's neigh
bors in the great State Of Nebraska
writes:
II was raised in the South, where
hot biscuits, grlddle cakes, pies and
buildings are eaten at almost every
meal, and by the time located in Me-
braska found myself a sufferer from
Indigestion and its attendant ills-dis-
tress and pains after meals, an almost
constant headache, dull, heavy sleepi-
ness by day and sleeplessness at night,
loss Of flesh, impaired memory, etc, etc.
II was rapidly becoming incapaci-
tated for business when a valued friend
suggested a change in my diet, the
abandonment Of heavy, rich stuff and
the use of Grape-Nuts food. fol-
lowed the good advice and shall always
be thankful that did so.

change were apparent in my case al
most Immediately. My stomach, which
had rejected other food for 50 long, took
to Grape-Nuts most kindly; in a day
or two my headache was gone, l began
to sleep BEAUTIFULLY and before a week
was out the scales showed that my lost
weight was coming back. My memory
was restored with the renewed vigor
that felt in body and mind. For three
years now Glape-Nuts food has kept
me in prime condition, and I propose 1t
shall for the rest of my days.
"And. by the way, my 215 year old
baby is as fond Of Grape-Nuts as l am,
always insists on having It. 1t keeps
her as healthy and hearty as they make
them" Name given by Postum Co.,

PENSIONS FOR RICH.
Novel Result of Service Or.
der of the President,
MILLIONAIRES INCLUDED
Pension Commissioner Sees No OBJ.
Iectlons to Paying Out Money in
Such cases-Believes it Will
Revert to Charity.

A Washington special Says Pen
sions for millionaires, is one Of the
new developments under the execu.
tive order of last year.
According to Commission Of Pen.
sions Warner, the application of a
millionaire for a pension has been
recently favorably passed upon. He
did not want the psnton, according to
the commissioner, on account of the
money it carried with it, but simply
to perfect his record of honorable
service in the civil war.
This view of the disability order is
being taken by many well7to-do veter-
ans who would not otherwise apply for
pensions. The fact that they are eli
gible and performed the service slip
ulated in behalf of the government
and that the government is to recog-
nize this service by a pension and the
accompanying records Of the same
make the service pension a desirable
addition to the family records.
The commissioner does not look up
on this class of pensions as an un.
desirable burden for the government
to bear. He takes the view that the
funds distributed is used by the APP
plicant to relieve want In the case
of the millionaire pensioner, he has
knowledge that the recipient has just
made a bequest of hundred thousand
dollars for benevolent purposes

NEW TRICK OF PACKERS.

Claim Immunity Under Alleged Agree
ment With Secretary Garfield.
A Chicago dispatch says Compete
immunity from prosecution under the
pending indictment returned by the
federal grand jury several months ago
Is claimed by ]. Ogden Armour and
the other defendant packers ana
agents charged with being promoters
of the so-called "beef trust" in adj
ditional pleas in bar, filed Friday at.
ternoon by Attorney John S. Miller,
the packers representative.
The new plea, which came as a
complete surprise to the government,
sets up as facts that when Secretary
Garfield of the department of COM
merce and labor, investigated the
trusts, he promised the packers that
whatever testimony they gave with
out being under oath, or whatever
documentary evidence they voluntarily
produced, the defendants should have
the same rights, indemnities and i'm
munities as if they had testified I'M
der oath and compulsion.
Under this new plea, Attorney Mil
Ter hopes to establish the fact that
there was an agreement between the
packers and the government that they
should testify and give evidence with
out being subpenaed or the oath adj
ministered, but that as far as immuni-
ty was concerned, it should be con-
sidered as If they had ben subpenaed
and took the oath.
