The decision OF the convention.
which recently met at Muskogee, In
dian Territory, upon a name for the
new state to be added TO the Union

which have adopted Indian titles for

Cherokee leader, and Is a htung
honor which America owes TO one OF
the really great red men OF this conu.

Was originated by George Gist. half-
breed. known to the tribe as Sequoia.
He was a statesman and peaceabie
leader among the tribe. He was an
illiterate man but the idea or an
alphabet for the Cherokee tribe was
conceived from the brands he saw on
cattle. He carved eighty-six charac-
tiers with his hunting knife out OF pine
bark, then he called the wise men to-
Rether, and explained the characters.
The tribunal council adopted that. and
in later years one OF the tribe trans
lated the Bible into the Cherokee

AWFUL BALLOON VOYAGE.
German Military Aeronaufs Safe
Only After a Terrible Ex-
perience.
War Airship Was Driven Five Hun
dred Miles Over Baltic Sea and
Dropped In Swedish Snow Bank
Barely Averted Drowning.

The progress of balloon experiments
in the German army has just received
a severe setback by the fearful expert
ences Of two members of the Aero
static Corps, named Wolff and Brand,
who have returned to Berlin after hav-
ing been given up for dead, following
a balloon ascension, during which they
completely disappeared. The two men
were blown all the way from Berlin TO
the Baltic Sea, where they were driven
by a gale clear across that body of
water, and finally landed, half dead, in
little village in Sweden, travelling al
together more than five hundred miles.
The story Of their flight is one of the
most thrilling in the history of bal
looming in Europe.
UNABLE TO MAKE DESCENT.
The two balloonists, caught in the
gale in the upper air, were blown at
terrific speed for three days, unable TO
make a descent without being dashed
to DEATH
AS the wind seemed to slacken, de
balloonists opened their valve, prepar-
ing to descend. What was their horror
upon seeing as they dropped from the
clouds that the open sea was beneath
them. They tried to shut the valve,
but were only partly successful.
When within a few hundred feet of
the water. the valve was closed by
Wolf, who climbed up TO the cordage
surrounding the gas bag TO do it. But
the balloon still dropped nearer the
sea. Finally. desperate, the balloon |
lists climbed into the balloons rigging |
and cut the basket from under them.
Clinging To the cordage about the |
balloon, the two men hung between |
hope and fear for few moments as
the bag seemed to hover uncertainty. |
The thought came into their minds |
simultaneously that one must drop of |
and tighten the weight TO save his |
oomrade; otherwise both must drown. |
But slowly the bag began to rise once |
more.
CLUNG TO CORDAGE FOR HOURS. |
After clinging for hours to the cor
dage. thousands OF feet in the air over |
the sea, the two soldiers made out the |
land. AS soon as it was safe, the valve |
was opened again. and the balloon was |
allowed TO descend slowly. The two |
men landed in a snow bank within a |
few miles of a little Swedish village. |
They had TO walk two miles, almost |
through the snow, and col |
lapsed just as they reached the first |
