for the murder of United States

Shot Out OF A Cannon.

The Mesa County Fair has Sc
cured as special feature, Prof. ].
ID. Mccormick, the noted eastern
balloonist whose reputation is un-
excelied as an aeronaut. The as
cension made by Prof. McCor-
mick is a novel as well as thrill
ing one The aeronaut goes up
concealed in a mammoth cannon
and is entirely hid from the view
of the people. Wnen an enor-
nous height is reached the can
non is fired by the balloonist
himself and Immediately a cloud
of smoke appears and out of the
cannon's mouth is shot the daring
aeronaut clinging to his parachute.
The decent is made with ease and
the Prof. alights on terra frma
without being harmed. This at
traction has been secured at an
extra expense to the Mesa County
Fair association, but it is expected
that the attendants at the Fair
will be treated with an extraord-
mary exhibition.

Last Monday evening Joe New

man and his company of refined
and entertaining young ladies
were here and played to large
audience in the l. O. O. F. hall
Manager AFFORD had arranged a
novelty in the way of stage setting,
borrowing for the occasion all of
G. T Newmans splendid mounted
bear hides and other specimens,
and placing them artistically be-
fore the parlor scene. Over $500
worth of splendid specimens were
included in the collection and all
showed to advantage. 1t was the
most expensive and artistic stage
setting ever seen in Paonia, as all
the people said. Mr. Newman
was at his best and gave one of
those entertainments that he is
noted for. Joe Newman is a
novelty IN his way. One cannot
say that he is great in any way.
He is so common place that it is
very hard to identity his charm,
nevertheless, he is one of the best
entertainers that comes this way
and he is always accompanied by
a constellation of ladies whom it
is a Joy to meet even when sep
arated by the footlights. 1t would
be a calamity to theatre goers
were Joe to cut US off his visiting
list.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
tn. Old Liberty Bell.

Contrary TO general belief, the old
Liberty bell is not the property OF tne
nation or of the city OF Philadelphia,
lint of four sisters who are heirs OF
John Wubank, the man who MADE the
new bell shortly after the old one was
cracked and who took the old bell as
mart payment. According to the Home
MAGAZINE. three Of the sisters-MrS
lanes B. McClosky, Mrs. G. d. Emer'
son and Mrs. s. B. COward-live IL
philadelphia. The fourth, Mrs. 8. w.
b. DIehl, lives in Washington.
By an order Of the assembly Of the
province Of Pennsylvania the Liberty
bell was cast by an English founder
In 1751. Soon after arriving In this
country the bell broke, but was recast
from the same metal in the same form
and with the original inscription, PRO
claim liberty throughout the land"
The ownership passed from proytn-
cial authorities to the state, but in
1913 1t was purchased by the city Of
Philadelphia, together with the old
statehoCse and grounds. During the
celebration over tho arrival OF Lafa-
yette In 1924 the DELL was rung so Wig
orously It became cracked and few
months later was ordered rep.aced BY
a new bell cast by John Wilbank. The
latter bell is hanging in the steeple Of
Germantown hall.

Our Navy's Officers.

In the eyes Of foreigners there are
some startling defects in the personnel
Of our navy. Perhaps the principal
one is the age Of the flag officers and
captains. Not a navy in the world
numbers so many men Of advanced
years in command. All our admirals
are between sixty and sixty-two. 1t Is
probable th=t In the event Of war last
ing a year not one-half Of the officers
at present in command would possess
the physical vigor to remain on active
duty.
The extreme youth and lack Of expe-
rience Of the main part Of the crews
Of these ships is another weakness.
The percentage Of veterans In the CON-
plement Of each vessel is small. Our
battleships are much underofhcered
with exper 'enced subordinate officers,
gun division officers particularly.
The men-of-war Of all other nations
carry many more officers than ours
and more experienced than the Ameri-
can youngsters now available for such
positions. This gap between our veter-
ans and youthful men and command
ers Is due to the neglect Of congress,
which permitted five years to elapSe
after the Spanish-American war be-
fore the number Of midshipmen was
increased at Annapolis. - Broadway

BUcKING AN ICE FLoE.
An Incident In One Of Psary's Arstis
Exploration Trips.

An Incident In One of Psary's Arstis
Exploration Trips.
One Of the most striking passages In
Robert z. Peary's Nearest the Pole"
Is his description Of the action OF an
ice Zoe which threatened his ship. he
writes: Its slow, resistless motion
was frightful, yet fascinating Thou
sands Of tons OF smaller ice which the
big foe drove before 1t the Roosevelt
had easily and gracefully turned under
her sloplng bIlges, but the edge Of the
big Zoe rose to the plank sheer, and
few yards back from its edge was an
old pressure ridge. which rose higher
than the bridge deck. This was the
crucial moment. For a minute or so,
which seemed an age, the pressure
was terrific. The Roosevelts ribs and
interior bracing cracked like the dis
charge Of musketry, the deck amid
ships bulged up several inches, while
the main rigging hung slack and the
masts and rigging shook as In a VIC
lent gale. Then, with a mighty tremor
and a sound which reminded me Of an
athlete intaking his breath for a su-
preme effort, the ship shook herself
free and jumped upward till her pro-
peller showed above water. The big
Zoe snapped against the edge Of the
ice foot forward and aft and under us,
crumpling up its edge and driving 1t In
shore some yards, then came to rest.
and the commotion was transferred TO
the outer edge Of the foe, which crum-
bled away with a dull roar as other
foes smashed against It and tore OF
great pieces In their onward rush,
leaving the Roosevelt stranded, but
safe"
On another occasion 1t required thir-
ty-five and a half hours Of incessant
strain and struggle to clear a way
through the obstructing ice foes to the
open water beyond Mr.. Peary says:
The Roosevelt fought like gladiator,
turning, twisting. straining with all
her force, smashing her full weight
against the heavy foes whenever we
could get room for a rush and rearing
upon them like a steeplechaser taking
q fence. All, the thrill and tension Of
II, the lust Of battle, which crowded
days Of ordinary life into oneI The for
ward rush, the gathering speed and
momentum, the crash, the upward
heave, the grating snarl Of the Zee a.
the steel shod stem split 1t as q ma
sons hammer splits granite or trod It
under or sent 1t right and left In whirl-
nag fragments, followed by the violent
roll, the backward rebound and then
the gathering for another rush were
glorious"
At such times the physical tension
was intense: Every one on deck hung
with breathless interest on our move
ment. and as Bartlett and / chung In
the rigging heard him whisper
through teeth clInched from the purely
physical tension Of the throbbing ship
under us: Give It to 'em, Teddy; give
II to EN-? More than once did q FIRE
man come painting on deck for q breath
Of air, look over the side. mutter to
himself, BY thunder. she's got to 90
through then drop into the stokehold.
