BALLOON LANDED
Capt. Chandler Failed to Break the
Long Distant Record or
Win Lahm Cup.
WERE IN The AIR 10 HOURS
Change able Air Currents, Prevented
Aeronauts Reaching Destination
Came Down Near Golconda, Ill.,,
100 Miles From St. Louis.

Golconda, H., May Capt. De F
Chandler, United States signal ser
vice, and j. C. Mccoy of New York
failed to break the long distance bal
loon record and to win the l.ahm cup
The balloon, which left st. Louis at
1870 Tuesday evening, landed five
miles north of Golconda at 2:30 Wed
nesday afternoon.
To have won the Lahm cup the bal
loon would have had to go more than
402 miles. Golconda is only $50 miles
from St Louis.
Changeable air currents demon
strated to the aeronauts that they
could noi win the cup and for that
reason they made the landing near
here The balloon made an easy
landing. It was brought to Golcon-
da in wagons. Mccoy goes with 1t
from here to New York, while Chand-
Ter goes to Washington.
CAPTAIN Chandler made the trip
for the purpose of making balloon OBJ
servatious for the United States
army. He and Mccoy, upon leaving
st. Louis, hoped that the winds would
carry them toward Washington, ID. c.,
but the balloon took southerly
course immediately upon leaving the
ground. 1t crossed the Mississippi
river and continued southwark near
the river some distance when it was
driven back into Missouri. 1t then
continued south until near the Ar
kansas line.
At II O'Clock noon Wednesday the
balloon lowered over Cape Girardeau,
Mo. A west wind there took it across
to Illinois.
Just before crossing the river the
drag rope struck tree, impeding the
progress of the balloon. Ballast was
thrown overheard and the balloon
rose to an altitude Of two miles The
sun came out and it went still high
er. It continued east into Indiana.
Here an east wind struck the balloon,
driving it into the clouds. Emerging
from the clouds the aeronauts fround
themselves over the Ohio river near
Golconda. They then descended
While the balloon did not take the
direction hoped by Mccoy and Cap
tain Chandler. the flight was fairly
successful. The balloon was carried
first in one direction and then in an
other, as it encountered different air
currents at different attitudes.
The balloon was in the air about
10 hours. Provisions had been taken
for a &c hour trip, and the aeronauts
could have remained in the air As
hours Had they been making in one
direction they would have remained
up at least &c hours.
Golconda is in Pope county. Hi
nois, on the Ohio river. 1t is 1862
miles by railroad from st. Louis and
about 100 miles in direct line

1T WOULD BE SIMPLE.
Formalities Complied with, Escape
from Hotel Was Easy.

In the days before the dawn OF his
fame it was the practice of a certain
well known author to wander up aud
down the land seeking what he might
deyour in the way of suggestion and
local color. In this way he had drift
ed down into Arkansas, "roughing it,
and not, as he expresses it, presenting
an appearance calculated tO>inspire a
hotel proprietor with unlimited conf
dence.
The only hotel in the town, frame
structure, seemed to have been built
upon the theory that there was plenty
of room straight up, but that ground
had to be bought, and the wanderer
was shown to a room on the third
floor, reached through many narrow
and winding passages. From the one
window it was straight drop to the
ground.
"Say, how would l get out of This
place in case of fire." he asked the
landlord, who had brought up his
grip.
The other eyed him coldly.
WALL" he drawled, "all yo' would
have to do would be to show ther
night watchman-the one with Their
shotgun-a receipted' bill fob yo'
board an lodgin, an get him to tie up
Their bulldog. "-Harpers Weekly.

WHERE WOMAN Is SUPERIOR.
Vegetarian Springs Few Facts on
Astonished Companions.

Since the first of the year." he
said, Il haven't had smoke, and
haven't taken drink"
Everybody looked at him with
amazement, respect and awe. How
strong willed he must be, they said;i
how ascetic, how spiritual! 1t was ire
mendous.
"And yet" said pale vegetarian,
"all women, or at least 80 per cent. OF
them, maintain this wonderful absti-
nence their whole life long. Why
don't you praise them for it?'N
With his medicated handkerchief
he brushed the sheer from his lips.
1--WE men," he said, beside women
are hogs. We call our women silly;
we won't give them the. vote; but the
average woman lives on higher
plane than the average man. She
thinks of nobler things than money
grabbing, drink, tobacco food.
did you ever hear your wife
growl about the cooking? Did yoy
ever hear of woman epicure? N9;
woman is above the hoglike pleasures
of the table. She is above such a
tobacco and whisky seance as is now
going on here
The vegetarian put on his cap OF
medicated flannel, and, despite the
warmth of the night, drew the flannel
eartabs over his ears.
Give woman her due" he ended.
"She is flner-fbered, a more temper
ate, a more spiritual creature than
coarse, gross. hog-like man. "-Cincin'

A PANIC IN CHICAGO FIRE
About 20 Women Injured by Turn
bling from Fire Escape.
Flames Rushed up the Elevator
Shafts and Caught 200 on the
Upper Floors.

Chicago, May about 20 women
We're injured Wednesday in a fire
which broke out in the building at
255 Wabash avenue. The first floor
was occupied by the Story & Clark
Piano company, and the three upper
floors by the Lotus Lunch Club which
was patronized exclusively by women.
When the flames were discovered,
fully 200 women, including the en-
ployes were in the place and at the
first cry. of fire panic ensued. A
number of women leaped from the
windows of the second and third stor-
les to the street below. BY far the
create: number, however, rushed to
the fire escape. This was filled in a
few seconds with a struggling mass
of women, making desperate efforts
to climb down. Several of them lost
their holds and fell to the street and
Others were pushed or.
The flames which started in the
basement and ran up an elevator
shaft with terrific speed,-cut off sew
eral women in the front part of the
building and about two-thirds OF
these despite the warnings of the
spectators leaped to the ground. The
others who remained were taken out
by the firemen without being injured.
1t is not believed that many OF the
women will die from their injuries,
although this cannot be definitely
established until after reports have
been received from the hospitals TO
which they were taken.

A Fish Story.


Trout protection. Nonsense" said
a gunner of local eminence. Trout
are amply able to protect themselves.
Look at their depredations among
ducks. for example, and you will agree
with me that it's the birds that need
protection. It's common thing for
trout to jump from the water. seize q
duck by the neck, drag the unfortunate,
fowl into the depths sufficiently to-
leave its feet sticking in the air. where;
it can get no purchase upon the uni
verse, and thus drown it. Then the
trout picks the feathers from the bird,
eats it at its leisure and swims away
out of the jurisdiction of the courts,
Are there any fishermen? None? Too
bad. This would be match for one
of their fish stories"

THE JURY WILL KEEP HOUSE
Careful Preparations to Isolate Men

Cook Employed-Covered Stair
way Leads to Court Room.


Boise, Idaho, May 4.-The jury
which will try William Haywood first
Of the accused in the SteunenEerg
case, will keep house during the trial
The law of Idaho provides that such
iuries shall be kept together and in
seclusion from the public contact and
the higher courts have always insist
cd on strict ompliance with the
provision. Therefore rather than take
any chances with the publicity of a
hote in this case Sheriff Shad Holigan
responsible for the custody Of the
Jurors, has hired a house for them.
The house. an attractive well built
structure, standing on neat lawn
and garden, is just across the street
that flank the rear of Ada county
court house and within about 900 feet
of the court room.
To make the daily journeys of the
jury as direct as possible the sheriff
has constructed temporary stairway
from the rear of the second story of
the court house It's upper landing
is the platform of a fire escape and
it is reached through the ante-room
of Judge Woods chambers. The jury
can therefore be taken directly to the
stairway without leaving the rallied
enclosure of the court room. An Of
fetal cook has been retained and az
engagements have been made with To-
cal stores for IL good and varied sup
ply of food. Four bailiffs-two for
day duty and two for night service
will GUARD the jury.

STRENUOUS PEACE
The Only Kind That Would Please
President Roosevelt,
He Says.
EASE AND IDLENESS KILLS
Rich Man Who Has Only Accumulated
Riches Object of Contempt
The Good Mother Better
Than Soldier.

Washington. May 8. - President
Roosevelt in an address at the unveil'
ing of the statue to General George
B. Mcclellan Thursday charac'
terized as weakness the desire
for peace unless it could be obtained
on the right terms. He would have
none of the so-called peace if it were
merely another name for. self-indul-
gence for sloth, for timidity for the
avoidance of duty"
Tho man who would do the best for
the country in peace, the president de.
clared, is the man who at need will
do well in war.
Seek the peace that comes 20 the
Just. man armed said Mr.. Roosevelt.
"who will dare to defend his rights
if the need should arise. Seek the
peace granted to him who will wrong
no man and will not submit 10 wrong
in return Seek the peace thae comes
to us as the peace OF righteousness
tn peace of justice. Ask peace by
your deeds and your powers warrant
you in asking it, and do not put your
self in the position to crave it as
something to be granted or withheld,
at the whim of another.
IF there is one thing which we
wish as a nation to avoid, it is the
teaching of those who would reinforce
the lower promptings of our hearts
and so teach us to seek only life of
effortless case. of mere material COM
fort. The material developments of
this country. of which we have right
to be proud, provided we keep our
pride rational and within measure,
brings with it certain great dangers;
and one of those dangers is the con-
founding Of means and ends. Mater
ial development means nothing to a
nation as an end in itself. If America
is to stand simply for the accumulation
of what tells for comfort and luxury,
then it will stand for little indeed when
looked at through the vistas OF the
ages. America will stand for much
provided only that it treats material
comfort, material luxury and the
means for acquiring such as the foun-
dalton on which to build the real
life, the life of spiritual and moral
effort and achievement.
The president said that we are yet
good many thousand years short OF
the millennium and our business is to
do our own duty and teach our chill
dren to do their duty in rough work
aday world, and" he said, 1--WE can
not do that duty by fine phrases"
There was one person in this coun-
try, he declared, he put ahead of the
soldier@"the really good woman, the
good wife and mother who has done
her full duty"
"She often has pretty hard time,
yet the woman who thus with labor
and anxiety brings up her children, is
blessed among women, blessed among
men. | do not pity her in the least.
l respect and admire her and hold
her worthy of admiration and honor.
The selfish creature, man or woman,
who reaches old age having achieved
ease by Sinking duty is to be heartily
despised and not envied. Our admira-
ton is reserved for him or for her
who has done the real work which
makes the next generation able in its
turn to do its work in the country.
