500 Reward 500,

The readers Of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all its
stages and that is Catarrh. Halls Cstarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now known TO the
medical fraternity. Cata1rh being a cunstitu-
tional disease, requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces Of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation Of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send
for list OF testimonials.

WONDERFUL FLIGHT.
Aiship Sailed Three Miles, Travelling
With Gratifying Speed.

Toledo. o.. July 3.-One of the most
remarkable flights ever made in an air
ship was performed by A. r Knaben
shue. who sailed through the air a ,iSs
lance of three miles and landed on tor
of ten-story Office building In TWEEN
ty-five minutes from the time of start
ing and then returned to the depot
from which he started. The day was
ideal for the daring feat A light wind
was blowing from the east and Kna
benshue sailed his aerial craft directly
In the face OF this wind
Business was entirely suspended and
the entire population gathered In the
streets to watch the course OF the ship
When directly over the skyscrapef
knabenshue directed his craft down
ward and lighted gracefully on the
building. After examining the ship To
see that II was all right and receiving
the congratulations of his friends
Knabenshue started on his trip back
and going with the wind he made the
return voyage in fifteen minutes. He
declares that his present ship is far
superior TO others he has navigated
that 1t is easier managed and that ne

Odessa, July 3.-withing firing gun
or making the slightest show of resist
ance, the mutineers on the Kniaz Po-
temke hauled down the red flag and
surrendered the battleship TO Vice Ad-
miral Kruger's squadron, which arrived
here at noon Friday. 1t was an anx-
Gus moment for Odessa. as the squad
ron of five battleships and seven tor
pedoboats with their crews at quarters
and their decks cleared for action,
steamed within range of the Kniaz Po-
temkine, the flagship flying this mes
sage: yield or be sunk"
The display of force was too over
whelming for the mutineers and all
thought of resistance was abandoned.
The admiral ordered the Katerina II
to place a crew on board the Kniaz
PCtemkine and the other vessels of the
squadron Immediately sailed away. The
mutineers will be transferred TO the
Etkerina ii. which Is now lying along
side the Kniaz Potemkine, and will be
taken to Sebastopol
The mutinous crew of the Kniaz Po-
temkine capitulated Internationally to

find the Black Sea squadron lying off
Langeron point and everyone was ex-
pecting a naval fight. The city was
like an armed camp. Troops barred
all the approaches TO the harbor and
were bivouacing in tents in Cathedral
square. and four batteries of artillery
well supplied with ammunition has
been placed In the park at Langernon.
The populace. astir at dawn. rapidly
awaited itself of every house top or
eminence commanding n view of the
harbor. The Kniaz Potemkine was soon
steaming to meet the squadron ex-
changing signals as she proceeded.
Then to the establishment of all Ad-
miral Kruger's five battleships passed
out of sight and the excitement of the
town grew intense. At noon the squad
ron returne in line abreast and was
now accompanied by several torpedo
boats and torpedoboat destroyers.
Again the Kniaz Potemkine started
to meet the vessels and another rapid
exchange of signals took place.
The EniaZ Potemkine was seen to be
clearing for action and the squadron
to be maneuvering in battle array. con-
tinually signaling. until the rebel bat
tleship lay midway between the shore
and the squadron, with her broadsides
pointed respectively towards the town
and the squadron as II threatening to
shell Odessa should she be attacked
by Kruger's ships. In addition TO his
seeming reluctance TO destroy so fine n

since Secretary Hay went abroad in

90 again actively resume his onerous
duties and responsibilities as secretary
OF state. but when Mr.. Hay returned to
Washington his condition was so
greatly improved that he and the pres
ident hoped with the summers rest ai
Lake Sunapee he might be able for o
time at least TO continue the direction
of the state department. The death OF
Secretary Hay so Unexpectedly came
as a personal bereavement TO the
president with him the president was
on terms OF the warmest personal
friendship. The secretary's home at
Washington President Roosevelt visit
ed with frequency.
President Roosevelt was shocked
and grieved inexpressibly at the death
OF Mr.. Hay. The news was conveyed
20 him early Saturday morning by a
