DROPPING IN FRONT
OF FAST TRAIN
aalioonist il Chicago Has a Thrilling
Experience, and 5000 People
Look On Breathlessly.

Chicago, April 3.-Battling with adverse
currents OF air, which were blowing him
directly in front of an Illinois Central ex-
press train, as he descended 5000 feet
rom a balloon to the earth in a fiimsy
parachute, William Mattery, a French
seronaut, fought for his life While 5000
people watched the struggle.
The engineer Of the train saw the aero
.laut, less thar 200 feet In the air above
him., descending directly before the train.
He applied the air brakes. but knew that
unless Mattery conquered the air currents,
he was powerless to save him from death.
The aeronaut fought with every muscle
IN his body. He swung himself back and
forth on his little trapeze, kicked and
made every effort possible to swerve his
parachute away from the path of the
train. Suddenly the parachute sank quick
Nv to the ground, just as the train rushed
by. Thousands of persons ran to the
scene expecting to find the mangled body
of the ballonist. The parachute was
crushed, but Mattery, by finging himself
from 1t at the last moment, had escaped
death under the engine by two feet. He
rolled down an e~mbankment and arose un-
hurt physically, but suffering from the
strain of the battle through which he had
passed.
Mattery and w. H. Mckinney, another
%aeronaut. had entered into a balloon race
Mt Sixty-seventh street and Stoney Island
avenue. The winner of the novel contest
was to be the one who remained in the
Z air the longest. A $500 purse. the con-
tribution of Chicago ae%ronauts, was the
reward to Mattery. the winner.

RULES
MADE MORE RIGID
Secretary of the Interior Will Insist on
Eight Months Actual Resi-
dence Hereafter.

Washington, April 5.-Secretary
Hitchcock has put all homesteaders on
the public lands on notice, that. ii they
intend to commute their entries, they
must remain upo nthe land continuous
sly during eight months of the four
teen.
Three decisions have been landed
down by the secretary in the past
month. One case came from South
Dakota. another from Nebraska. ana
the third from Oklahoma. In all three
cases the entrymen had offered proof
with their applications to commute,
which was deemed insufficient as to
residence, by the commissions OF the
general lane office. whose opinion was
sustained by the secretary.
Under the practice of the interior de-
parement, a homeSteader may TAKE SIX
months to establish constructive resi-
dence on the a covered by his appli-
cation-that is, he may take that length
of time to go pom the land and build
his house and start cultivation The
csmlnutation period is fourteen months
from the date of entry. when the entry
man. upon paying $1.2o per acre for his
holdings, and submitting satisfactory
proof of residence during that period,
may receive q patent for the land COW
cred by his entry.
The secretary is very positive i'm,
holding that the last eight months of
the Communication period shall be those
of actual residence. On this point he
says thai lin Communication cases tho
law not only requires that it shall
clearly and satisfactorily appear from
the proof that the bona fide residence
was established within the six months
from the date of the entry. but also
that the actual residence upon the land
has been continuous from the time it
was established until the date of the
making of final proof.
In the cases recently decided, the
proof is rejected without prejudice,
which means that the entrymen are
privileged to go back upon the land
and establish residence and otherwise
comply with the law at any time with
in the tive-year life of the entry.
1t is expected that, when these de-
cisions gain wider circulation in the
public land. states. there will be a gem
eral compliance with the law, Dr. else
a lot of homesteads will be relinquished
Developments along this line are looked
for along the extension of the Milwau-
kee railroad from Chamberlain and
Evarts, S. D., to Seattle, where the
local land officers have been kept busy
in recent months receiving homestead
entries,

farmer. The cotton crop is repor-

the early appearance of the cotton
