ers to take out license.
At present the game laws permit
twenty-five geese or ducks to be killed

here favor changing this number to-
twenty for ducks and ten for geese

School Playground at Knoxville.
Special to Times Republican.
Knoxville, Dec. 4-The vigorous
game of "crack the whip" proved ia
tai to Will Scott, aged 18 years, who
died suddenly on the Burr Oak school
house play grounds, from cerebral ap-
oplexy, caused by the bursting of a
blood vessel in the brain. The de-
ceased was son of Mr.. and Mrs. W..
M. Scott, living six miles southwest of
town.
A few minutes prior to his death the
young man had been engaged with the
other scholars in a game of "crack the
whip" Just at 1 o'clock, when the bell

noon session and all were hurrying
from the play grounds, Will Scott lott
cred behind, complaining of being very
tired He finally sat down upon the
ground in a half reclining position,
which attracted the attention Of his
sister, who saw that something was
wrong with her brother. Running over
to him, she noticed a deathly palor up
on his face and that he did not recog-
nize her or answer her call. The little
girls screams attracted Miss McKin-
ney, but when she arrived at the place
where the boy was lying he was all
most dead, and was beyond medical
aid long before a physician arrived.

CyCtloS1 o09AU AT tWl0UtSuSs
New York, Dec. 4.--An through the
night thousands of persons sat In the
high balconies on Madison Square Gar
den, watching the ceaseless grind OF
the six-day bicyclists, which began at
midnight. Only once during the night
was there anything approaching seri-
Gus accident The seven riders be-
came tangled during a squirt, and men
and machines were sent flying down
the steep sides of the board track.
Luckily only one of them, Gougoltz, OF
the French team, was hurt, but he was
able to resume the whirl at eight
o'clock this morning.
However, he could not keep up with
the other riders, and after losing two
laps, tainted on his wheel He sus-
tanned a broken rib. Gougoltz, the part
'ner of vanoni, made up one OF the lost
laps.
The fourteen teams had a score OF
ITO miles and one lap. The two re-
naming teams. GougoltZ-vaioni and
veScott, were two and four laps re-
spectively behind the leaders.
Vanoni and Gcugoltz have with
drawn. but vanoni continued in the
race under other colors. Emile Agraz
member of the Mexican team. fell and
injured his knee and was obliged to
retire. Castro; Agraz's partner, and
Vanorii then formed new Mexican
team.
At II o'clock the leaders had 226
miles and seven laps to their credit.

Tex, claims that he makes bale OF
cotton to the acre every year by top

the August moon, says the St. Louis

the plant to spread and to put on a
heavier fruitage on the lower branch

the mill operative who found out for
himself that the thread came smoother
and easier by wetting the raw cotton
before ginning.

WARFARE IN The. {. / AIR
Military Balloons Battle With
Automobiles In France.

Like a glance into the future by
Verne or q Wells has been the work of
the balloon and automobile corps OF
the French army in the field maneu-
vers during the past few days, say, a
special cable dispatch from Paris to
the New York American and Journal.
High in The air over the forts Of To,l-
which, by the by, lies on the road to
Strassburg-the Lebaudy military d.
rigible balloon circled and swung,
bombarding the Notifications below
with blank cartridges, while swift au-
tomobiles followed the airship on the
roads beneath and fred at it with light
rapid fire guns.
The demonstration was the most re-
markable of modern war methods. 1t
marked two great steps forward In
military science. The practicability of
the balloon as ON attacking force was
clearly shown, but as a parallel devel-
opment 1t was also shown that these
aerial assaults could be opposed and
splendid defense established by the
use of small, light high power gins
mounted on swift auto cars.
The Lebaudy military dirigible bal
loon made three successful flights ana
created the greatest enthusiasm among
the officers in charge Of the mar eu-
vers. The third and by far the most
ambitious flight on the part of the bal
loon resulted in successful attack up
on series OF Notifications The I'M
pires were confronted with conditions
such as have never arisen on any &C
tual battlefield, and their decision has
been contested by many who witnessed
the maneuvers. They admitted the
success of the attack by the balloon
on the forts, but also credited the au-
tomobile guns with victory over the
balloon.
The great airship was sent tO a
height of 1900 feet with several Amy
officers on board A course was map
ped out, which was followed perfe:tly
by the airship, although it was forced
to make Its way against the wind,
with the wind abeam and with the
wind OF. the quarter. 1t swung grace
fully along, however, passing above
each of the forts indicated in the plan
of attack turned over to the army ofti-
GERS in charge. The sight was one
which called forth expressions Of
amazement from the veteran Off GERS
following the maneuvers. AS easily as
motor boat the great airship was
brought into position above each Of the
forts.
Then, al. such an attitude % to be dis

tinguishable only with field glasses
one Of the officers would lean over the
side and drop a blank cartridge. 1t
would be seen to fash in the air and
then shoot downward with the con-
stantly increasing momentum that
finally dashed it like meteor into the
fort at which 1t was directed. A fash
Of fame and then a sharp report would
mark the landing Of the cartridge, and
In nearly every case hit was scored
for the airship
While the a,rship scared through the
air a half dozen automobiles on the
roads beneath coursed 1t like beagles.
A constant rattle from the light ma
chine guns marked the attempt to de-
fend the Notifications In this fashion,
and from time to time the balloonists
would set afioat smaller balloons,
which floated away and were used as
targets later by the automobile guns,
using ball cartridges.
The work of these automobile batter
les was remarkable. Although, OF
course, no loaded shells were fired at
the airship, the rapidity of fire, the
ability Of the automobiles to follow the
fight of the aerial bombarders and the
accuracy Of fire, as shown later against
the target balloons, were all consid-
cred In making decision, and the re-
suit of the deliberations Of the umpire
was that the attacking airship would
have been destroyed by the automobile
corps. What the result would have
been had feet of aerial battleships
been in action the umpires did not say.
The accuracy of the aim of the gun
ners was shown to be remarkable
when It was taken into consideration
that they were firing from automobiles
going at a, high rate Of speed at bal
looms moving over 1000 feet above the
ground. Several of the target balloons
were hit and shells sent close to others.
Further experiments in the use OF
the airship and Of automobile corps
will be kept up for several weeks.

Idols Head Filled With Precious
Stones Escapes Duty.


Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 4. - In the
head of an antique and hideous stone
idol, the whereabouts of which is
puzzling the local police, is believed to
have been smuggled into this coun-
try gems valued at $600,000. The story
of the idol which has been told in
strange, illiterate letters from the sup
posed owner of the image, includes a
chapter in the life of Cecil Rhodes and
of Barney Barnato, the diamond king
of the Kimberly fields.
The image was discovered in a sta
BILE of the furniture firm of Groves &
Son. at 421S Lancaster avenue, in west
Philadelphia, and placed in a show
window store as a decoration.
Reward for Idols Return.
Shortly afterwards the members of
the firm were warned in an annoy
nous letter not to give away or sell
the image, promising a reward if 1t
should be replaced in the stable. The
firm did not wish TO part with it, how
ever, and notified the police and their
employees to prevent its being stolen.
Notwithstanding all precautions the
image mysteriously disappeared. Po-
Hcemen outside and clerks within had
been on the watch all evening. About
s o'clock, when one of the clerks turn
ed to look at the idol in the window,
after having been engaged in another
direction only few minutes, the inn
age was gone.
On Wednesday the promised explain
alton came. 1t was a tale of adven-
ture in strange lands and Of an ingen-
fous method of smuggling stolen jew
els into the country.
According 20 the story told by the
letter, the writer is an Italian who
after various vicissitudes in earning a
living in Europe. was sent by his en-
ployer to South. Africa to assist in the
selection Of diamonds. After arriving
in Cape Colony, ne made the acquain-
tance of Cecil Rhodes, and by the con-
sent Of his employer, went to work for
the magnate.
