The independence league gave out a
statement tonight concerning Mr..
Hearst's campaign UP state in which
it predicts his election.
Reports from up state relative to
the growing of Hearst's strength"
says the statement, "are unusually
encouraging today. The organizers
who make a weekly report to the ex-
ecutive committee of the league were
in the city and describe the panic of
the Hughes supporters and the repub-
liean machine as genuine and that the
confidence Of the Hearst supporters is
ever increaing.
"The republican management, as

Or. Thomas Tried to Overcome
Natures Obstacles.
HIS DESCENT WAS TOO RAPID
Leal<y Valve Caused Balloon to Plunge
Toward the Earth-Aeronaut Made
Every Effort to Tighten Ship.
Dragged Quarter of Mile Across
Cotton Field.

Augusta, Ga, October 31.-Dr Julian
here a most daring ascension in his
balloon Nirvana. Owing TO the loca-
ton Of the fair grounds, some distance
from the city, the bag had to be in
fated some miles away and it was in
tended to tow it to the grounds up the
canal. The stream proved too narrow
and the bag frequently caught in trees
and was more Or less damaged. When
about a mile from the allotted place of
ascent DR.. Thomas decided to try no
longer and mounting into the net
work he seated himself On the concen-
trated ring and cut away the entangled
basket. He arose like shot and trav-
elled in southwesterly direction to an
estimated height of 5000 feet. When
about seven miles from Augusta the
valve which had been damaged Mon
day and had been patched with sur
geons adhesive plaster, began leaking
rapidly and the aeronaut shot down too
rapidly for comfort. Not having any
ballast he endeavored to tighten ship
by cutting off his shoes, heavy leather
leggins and threw away his coat and
contents of his pockets. The descent
was but little checked and he pumped
down in the middle of a cotton field
Owing to his location in the rigging,
DR.. Thomas was unable to get from
under and was caught in the folds of
the bag when it struck. 1t then start
ed across the field, dragging DR..
Thomas nearly a quarter of a mile be-
fore he could eXtrica.e himself. He
was badly scratched and lascerated but
is not seriously injured. DR.. Thomas
described it as the most trying ascent
he has yet made. He said the local
difficulties were insurmOuntable for
making a regular ascension, and in Or
der not to miss the opportunity he had
dared to go up without any car Of ap-
paratus, not even having ballast. He
presented a sorry appearance after the
rough experience but says he will re-
cover in day Or two.

INDIANS FIGHT WITH TROOPS
Skirmish Between Red Men and
| Soldiers of 10th Cavalry.
REDS WERE IN THE MAJORITY
And the Troopers Desisted From At
tacking Them-The Ctes Recovered
Nearly Half Hundred Ponies
Which the Troopers Had Taken.

Sheridan. Wyo., October 31-A skir-
mish occurred today between a band
of the renegade Ute Indians, and a
troop Of the tenth cavalry in Bitter
Creek, according TO word brought by
a special courtier. Tue troops had
captured so Ute ponies. severely frigh-
tening five Indian herders.
AS the troopers were driving away
the ponies. 100 Utes fully armed, sur
rounded the cavalrymen and the po-
nies, stampeding the ponies with re-
volver shots and war whoops. The
Indians recovered all the ponies bu.
five that were killed by the troops in
an effort to stop the stampede.
The Indians did not ire at the SOL
diers. The soldiers desisted from at
tacking the Utes as the reds greatly
outnumbered the troopers.
Troopers say that ''as far as they
can ascertain from rumor and observa-
tion the Indians will fight with little
provocation."
Another detachment of the tenth
cavalry that left Sheridan Monday
night ran across wandering band of
100 Crow Indians under command of
Chief Sweet Mouth. They denied any
intention of Joining the Utes. Still
another squad Of the tenth cavalry
fell in with a hand of Cheynne Indians
who On representation that they were
hunting were allowed to go in peace.
Settlers charge that Indian guides
employed by the. federal troops are
acting treacherously and leading the
troops on false trails to keep the SOL
diers from overtaking the Utes. These
settlers mention among the wiley
scouts Women's Dress, American
Horse and White Cow Bull.

PROPOSED MONUMENT To WIRZ

Much Opposition-ReDort of Mrs.

Americus, Ca, October 31-At the
annual meeting of the Georgia division
United Daughters Of the Confederacy
today a report Of Mrs A. B. Hull, of
Savannah, the president who last year
inaugurated the plan to erect a mon
ument to Major Henry Wirz, the An

which she speaks of opposition to the
plan in some section as follows:
There was never any object under
taken by our society that has met with
such widespread interest, such loyal
support and such violent antagonlsm
The latter has taken the widest form
INDUCED in the most insane abuse, not
sparing in any way the women Of the
Georgia division Or the south in gen.
eral, and we have answered never a
word but have simply gone and proved
our case and mean to establish the
truth forever, when we unveil our
monument. A campaign of education
it has verify been, for I do not believe
any of us knew how ignorant we wlre
of the history of that period until we
obliged to do in order to give an an
swer for the faith that was in u.s.
Mrs. Hull also said that a picture OF
Winnie Davis be placed in the dormi-
tory of the Rabun Georgia Industria
school which is conducted by Daugh-
tiers as memorial to both Mrs. Jeffer.

Chicken Stuffing Machine.

The chicken was rather stringy and
tough.
Chicken will continue to be stringy
and tough" said the chicken farmer
until the examining machine is adop-
ted.
There is only one way-and it's a
cruel way-to have perfectly tender
and delicious chicken. That is to pen
the birds up month before killing
them, give them no exercise and feed
them with a stuffing machine.
THE machine is mounted, usually
on wheelbarrow. Its hopper con-
tains the feed, rich mixture of milk
fat and ground oats Attached to the
hopper are a flexible rubber tube and
hand-pump.
THE farmer, at feeding time, wheels
the machine to the house where the
chickens are confined, takes the birds
up one by one. shoves the end of the
tube three inches down the throat and
pumps in food until the crop is filled.
THE chickens squawk and strug-
gle. They don't like to eat that way
In fact. they loath the very sight of
the machine.
THE main thing is that, thanks to
their confinement and the hated ma
chine the birds eat the greatest posi-
BILE amount Of food and take the least
possible amount of exercise, putting
on healthy fat, and developing ten
der, fine-grained flesh, in a manner i'm

PAPER FROM COTTON STALKS.

The manufacture of paper from the
fiber of the cotton stalk is one Of the
latest and most interesting inventions
of the new century. For many years
past expert inventors have been busily
engaged experimenting with the cotton
stalk, and now it appears from re-
cent developments that their labors
and expenditures of money are to be
rewarded with signal and striking sue
cess. Not only have these investiga-
lions passed the experimental stage,
but they are rapidly being shaped to
be placed into practical operation. 1t
has been unquestionably demonstrate
ed that all grades of paper, from
the best form Of linen grade to the
lowest, can be manufactured from
cotton stalks. In addition to this, a
variety of by-products, such as alcohol,
nitrogen, material for gun cotton and
smokeless powder, can also be secured
in paying quantities. The time is not
now far distant when paper plants
equipped with all modern machinery
and devices for making paper and tie
utilization of the other byprOducts re-
ferred to will be built and placed in
operation throughout the cotton grow
ing states of the south. The establish
ment of these mills for the manufac-
ture of paper from cotton stalks will
at once develop new industry OF quite
enormous proportions and institute the
utilization of a waste product which at
the present time has comparatively
little or no value. 1t will prove the
entering wedge of checking the present
increasing cost of pager, which Is be-
coming such a burden upon the news
paper industry of the country.
1t is estimated that on an area of
land producing a bale of cotton at
least one ton of stalks can begather-
ed. Upon this basis of calculation this
new industry can annually depend up
on from 100000 to 100000 tons
of raw material. This will not only
furnish necessary supplies to meet all
home demands, but also permit of the
export of pulp or finished products to
foreign countries. At the present
time there is approximately $2S7.000.-
900 invested in paper mills in the
United States. with but few plants
located in the south. The bulk of the
material going into the manufacture
of paper at the present time is spruce
pine, and which is annually becoming
more expensive in the depletion of the
forests and the high prices which such
timber command in the markets for
other uses. The utilization Of waste
product such as the cotton stalk.
manufactured into commercial paper.
will be boom of inestimable value to
the whole country.
The practical effect of this new in
vention will be to increase the present
value of the south's cotton crop nearly
$1OO.OOO,O0O annually. The growers
will be amply paid for the expense of
removing the stalks from their, fields
and delivery to the paper plants, and

WORLDS GREATEST SHOWS.
Great Parade Show Day Morning.

Ringing Brothers exhibit at Grand
Forks, Monday July 16. The attrac-
tons offered by Ringing Brothers
circus the current season are more
imposing than ever before. The per-
formers are the pick and flower of the
world. The spectacle of the Field
OF the Cloth of Gold" employs 1900
people, and the scenic and costume ac-
cessories cost fortune The fun IS
provided by fifty clowns. The spec
tacle runs about thirty minutes, and
precedes the ring acts. The march of
the chivalric hosts introduces all the
people and horses with the great show
and is a thrilling and picturesque re-
lief from the usual circus entry. The
tournaments of the sixteenth century
are illustrated by athletic feats of the
kind peculiar to this historic time of
romance. A Ballet advertisement of
800 young girls is fascinating fea-
ture OF this production. In the cir
Gus program are 200 acts, interpreted
by 375 performers. Over 200 horses
are required for the swiftly changing
bill. Among the sixty celebrated rid
ers are the Clark Brothers, four Be-
d1nfs and Gilbert Eldred, of European
renown; Albert Crandall. Orrin Dav-
export. May Davenport, the Hobsons,
Rhoda Royal, Nine. ROYAL John Agee,
the DeVennes, Nora Satterfield, and
Nellie Storer. In the great gymnastic
features of the show are many Euro
pean performers, never seen in this
country before. The Clarkonians and
Dekocks are first among these. The
Colini Cairon troupe, Dacoma family,
three Alvos, Onri troupe, Mowats,
Juggling Normans, Young Brothers,
Nelson Comiques and Herr Fuss are
in the same high class of gymnastic
artists.
The bicycling specialties of the
beautiful Ernesto Sisters thrillingly
illustrate the possibilities of riding
upon this delicate machine. They per-
form athletic feats of amazing diff
Guilty and novelty upon high wire
with the graceful ease of experts in
ground gymnastic work. This feat
ure is one of the sensational numbers
in the immense program.
In the animal markets of the world
