Chicago, Sept. 2.-Continuous troll
ley rides from Chicago to New York
over two routes, and between Chicago
and Cincinnati, are among the trans.
portation probabilities now planned.
William S. Reed, a builder of railroads,
who has an office in the First National

has purchased the Chicago Electric
Traction Company and has organized
two other companies which Will com

Mr.. Reed claims that these some.

will be completed by next June and
that the traveller may go from Chicago
to New York by way of Buffalo and
then through New York state. or may
branch off at Cleveland and take a
long distance airing through Pennsyl

Then when he returns to Chicago he
may stop over in indianapolis and take
another electric ride to Cincinnati and

MoFFAT ROAD TERMINAL.
Right of Way Secured to Union Depot
in Denver,

Denver, Colo, Sept 5.-David H.
Moffat and associates in the construc-
tion of the Moffat road have again
given evidence that they are deeply
in earnest in the prosecution of the
work. Last Saturday it was announced
from the offices that strip of ground
about 100 feet wide. sufficient for
double track. had been purchased all
the way from Utah Junction to the
city, clear in to a point at Fifteenth
and Bassett streets-the present site
of the City stock yards. The purchase
of land includes all of River Front
park the Union Warehouse Company
ground, strip running through the
Denargo Land Companys possessions
and the tract of ground near River
Front park belonging to the Denver
Union Water Company.
At the same time it was stated that
the moment the Gore canon contro-
versy was settled the greatest piece of
construction for the road, the big tun-
mel through the continental range,
would be undertaken and prosecuted
with all haste. Through the obstacles
placed in the way by the opponents of
the road on Wall street, the big bore
contract has been held in allegiance for
over two years Now Mr.. Moffat is in
the eminent position to state that he
has overcome all difficulties in the
East and the tunnel to pierce the
mountain and cut the distance to the
coast will he started right away. as
soon as the lesser obstacles at home
are disposed Of
The latest project in the purchase
of the big tracts Of land for passenger
and freight depots and terminals,
means that the Moffat steam road. the
Denver. Northwestern & Pacific road,
and the Moffat electric line running
from Leyden. the Denver 6. Northwest
orn road. will enter Denver on the one
track. Soon il is hoped the steam road
will be hauling Routt county coal into
Denver and the electric road will con
tinue to haul Leyden coal into the
freight depot. both over the Moffat
tracks to the freight depot to be estab-
lished close to the passenger depot on
the ground now held by the City stock
yards.

AER0NAUT DYNAMITED
BLOWN TO PIECES IN MlD-AIR
John E. Baldwin, an Indiana Aeronaut,
Meets His death While Giving a
Public Exhibition at Green
Vile Ohio,

Greenville, O., Septe. Professor
Baldwin, n well known Indiana aero
naut, was blown to pieces high in the
air yesterday while making balloon
ascension. His wife and children were
in the great crowd which Witnessed
the accident.
Many of the $4,000 persons who
went to the fair ground were at
tracted by the announcement that
Professor Baldwin would make bal
loon ascension and from the highest
altitude let loose in the air wonderful
display of fireworks and dynamite
bombs.
Professor Baldwin had been giving
daily exhibitions at the fair grounds
as he had done at other county fairs
in Ohio and Indiana during the sum-
mer. Preparations for his ascension
attracted great attention, and when
his airship scared aloft the crowd
cheered and every neck was craned to
watch his performance. The balloon
rose rapidly. When it had reached an
altitude OF about 1.5O0 feet great
cloud of smoke suddenly hid the air
ship from view.
There was loud report as II all his
bombs had exploded simultaneously
and an instant later fragments of the
balloon and the body of the aeronaut
fell to the earth. Then groan of hor-
ror rose from the multitude. The air
ship had vanished. Searchers imme-
diately began looking for fragments OF
the wrecked airship.
A half mile away they found pieces
of silk cloth and splinters of the bas-
ket-lille framework on which the aero
naut had been perched. Scattered
about a twenty-acre field were found
fragments of Baldwin's body. The dis
tance at which the airship fell was SO
great that the crowd had not seen the
fragments fall. 1t is supposed that in
igniting the fuse connected with the
dynamite he fired the gas in the bal
loon and that it exploded, causing the
dynamite to explode also.
Mrs. Baldwin, who with their chill
dren, was among the spectators,
screamed when she saw the smoke
and rushed in the direction in which
the wind had carried her husband. Be.
fore the crowd realized what had hap
pened she had fallen in faint.
Professor Baldwin is said to have
taken part in the Spanish-American
war as balloonist and his exhibition
was supposed to illustrate how he ma
nipulated his machine in battle. He
carries twenty-five pounds OF dynamite
and explosives.
Professor Baldwin was about forty
five years old, He lived in Lousantis.
vile, Indiana. where his body will be
taken for burial.
No trace has been found of a parrot
and monkey which made the ascension
with the aeronaut.

ANTOINE WOOD PARoLED
WILL GO TO HUBBARD COLONY
Boy Murderer Will Be Released From
Colorado Penitentary to Be EN-
pIoyed at East Aurora. New York.

Denver. Sept. 2.-Antone Woode
was paroled by the State Board of Par
| dons at its meeting yesterday after
noon. He probably will get his first
| glimpse of the world Monday, as ii
will take until then for the papers to
reach the governor and be returned to
the warden. The paroles always con
tain agreements which the prisoner
signs. They are then approved and
signed by the governor.
There is restriction in Woode' S
parole because it is stipulated that he
is to be delivered to Ebert Hubbard
by Warden Cleghorn in person. In
taking this precaution, the board is
trying to prevent the young man fall
ing into the hands of undes irable per
sons, who might want to exhibit him
or otherwise take advantage of him.
Mr.. Hubbard has said that he will take
him and provide him with work at
his East Aurora colony, and believing
that the remaining months that the
young man has charged against him.
will serve to work no more reform in
him, the members of the board de-
cided that Mr.. Hubbard shall be al
lowed to see what he can do.
All members of the board of par
donS We're present at the meeting yes
terday afternoon, with the exception
of Ralph Smith, who for long time
held out against pardonipg Woode.
Governor Mcdonald said that the
board unanimously agreed to recon-
mend the parole and that he will sign
1t. Letters were shown the board. in
which Hubbard agreed to take charge
of Woode and put him to work. They
were also assured that the cost of send

Antoine Woode's case is one of the
strangest in the annals of crime. In
1893, when only eleven years of age,
he left his home one morning with a
shotgun to hunt rabbits. He met Jo-
seph Smith, a business man of Denver,
and they walked together Smith hap
pened to show his fine gold watch and
the boy coveted 1t. Slipping behind
his victim. he shot him through the
back. Taking the watch, the boy went
to his home and hid it, but when the
body was found, he was suspected of
the crime and confessed it.
1t was not legal to hang a child of
at that time, while of course it was
impossible to turn child with such
tendencies among the children at the
industrial school. SO the authorities
were puzzled what to do with him.
There appeared nothing to do but to
put him in the state prison. He was
sentenced for twenty-five years, and
counting off time for good conduct, he
has served all of the term but eighteen
months

ployins unique method in advertis-
ing their product, "Pillsbury's Vitos.
The Meat of the Wheat" in appealing
10 the Common Sense" of the Amer
lean public.
Their assertions are modest as com
pared to most of the cereal food I'D
vertisements of the last few years,
but they carry a ring of truth. Their
reasoning is certainly rational; here
is some of ii:
I'VE all believe that Wheat is the
best cereal the Creator has given man
kind.
Pillsbury's Vitos is nothing more
nor less than the white heart of this
wheat kernel, cut out by steel ma
chinery, and Notwithstanding add
ed-nothing taken away-no adultera-
tion-no tlavorins-no coloring-no
cooking.
This product comes to your table
in its pure, white, granular form, an
appetizing dish for young and old.
Easily digested because it retains
its granular form when cooked, never
lumpy or pasty.
A two pound package makes twelve
pounds Of pure white cooked food, and
Pillsbury quality too. Two generous
dishes for one cent.
We have no competitors because we
are the largest millers in the world
and get the best wheat. Your grocer
will gladly fill your order for Pills

Hitch in Peace Conference.

Portsmouth, N. H.. Sept. "A pos
sible hitch in the peace conference has
developed in regard to the island OF
Saghalien. According to the Japanese
the understanding reached Tuesday
contemplates a mutual obligation on
the part of the two countries not to
fortify their respective possessions on
the island. At st. Petersburg, how.
ever, there seems to have been an as.
sumption that the agreement involved
freedom of action by Russia in this re-
spect in the north of Saghalien, with
an obligation on the part of the Jap
anese not to fortify or to use for
stategic purposes the portion owned
before 1876, which is to be retroceded
in the present treaty.
1t is believed on both sides, how
ever, that the hitch. if it really exists,
as reported, will shortly be straight
ened out.
