AWFUL BALLOON VOYAGR.
German Military Aeronauts Safe
Only After a Terrible Ex-
perience.
War Airshlp 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
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
n 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 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 descent without being dashed
TO death.
AS the wind seemed to slacken, The
balloonlsts 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
Wolff, 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 off
and tighten the weight to save his
comrade; otherwise both must drown.
But slowly the bag began to rise once
more.
CHUNG 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 1t 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 little Swedish village.
They had TO walk two miles, almost
exhausted, through the snow, and col
lapsed just as they reached the first
cabin.

THE STATE OF sEQU0IA.
The Name OF the Originator Of The

to be honored.

The decision of the convention,
which recently met at Muskogee, In
dian Territory. upon name for the
new state to be added to the Union
brings a total of thirty-three states
which have adopted Indian titles for
state names. The convention, after

honor which America owes to one OF
the really great red men Of this cont1.
nent. The Cherokee Indian alphanet
was originated by George Gist, half
breed, known to the tribe as Sequois.
He was a statesman and peaceable
leader among the tribe. He was an
illiterate man but the idea OF an
alphabet for the Cherokee tribe was
conceived from the brands he saw on
cattle. He carved eighty-six charac-
ters 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
language, through which medium

took up school teaching as a means of
livelihood. and when she was Obliged
to abandon this because OF failing eye
sight, she managed to secure a position
in the Patent Office at Washington, and
here she continued her service until
the outbreak of the Civil War disclosed
to her a lifework. Her advertisements
in the Massachusetts, papers that she
would receive money anu stores for the
wounded soldiers and personally dis
tribute them at the front brought quick
responses, and from this small beginning
the scope of her work broadened. The

WAS WITH THE VANGUARD.

In the Franco-Prussian war Miss
Barton was the first person to enter
Strasburg after the fall of that city,
and was instrumental in organizing
the relief She performed a similar
service at Paris, which she entered with
the vanguard at the conclusion of the
siege. After her return to the United
States she directed relief work in addi-
ton to the instances above mentioned
during the Mississippi food of 1882, the
overflow of the Ohio River in 1888, the
Louisiana cyclone OF the same year,
and the Texas drought of 1889, ever at
the fore aiding, sustaining, and sup
porting by her untiring presence the
failing courage of those who in their
suffering learned to depend upon her
with passionate love and gratitude.

A DALLAS co. GETS IT
The Commercial Club Awards Privilege Of
Directory Maklng-..GOod Work
Is Promised.
SATURDAY..

The directors OF the Commercial
Club, in session yesterday afternoon
awarded the privilege OF preparing
and publishing the official directory
of the city OF Amarillo to the John
f. Worley Publishing Company Of
Dallas. s. c. Chapman, represent,
ing the Southwest Directory & Pub
licity Co., a local organization, and
Mr.. Stanton. representing the Dallas
concern, both presented their prop
ositions to the club and asked Of,
fetal sanction. After complete
hearing of both claims, the directors
decided that inasmuch as the direc-
tory required facilities which the
Amarillo company could not guaran-
tee, the needs of the town would
be best served by the Dallas com
pany.
The mechanical work about q di-
rectory require facilities which al
present cannot be secured nearer
than Fort Worth or Dallas. The
typographical work must be exact
and book making must be carefully
done by experienced workmen. Few
printing companies care to take the
job of printing a directory unless
they make a speciality OF the work.
The Dallas company is an expe-
rienced directory maker and Amar-
lilo is assured credltable and use
full volume. Mr.. Stanton wired yes
terday for five men from the Dallas
office to begin the ifouse to house
canvas and census taking. The work
will begin Monday morning and will
be pushed to completion. Amarillo
people will confer a favor on the
census takers and will make the
completed volume more valuable by
giving all information possible that
can be used in the directory.
