some American aeronaut, and will carry as passenger an American newspaper man if he can find one brave enough to accompany him.
 Opinions vary here to what caused the financial panic of last week in New York. While conservative papers state that the most plausible explanation, con- sidering the undeniable prosperity of the United States, is that President Roose- velts antitrust campaign is alone re- sponsibe the radical and socialist press insist that the panic was necessity because of the terrible corruption among the wealthy, and that 1t is only meek forerunner of what Is to come-a great American revolution against the Ameri- can plutocracy, which will surpass any thing the world has ever seen.

 Under ordinary circumstances the brave inhabitants of Munich would just as soon believe it possible to live without air as without beer but because all the breweries have raised the price of beer two pfennings a sedel, they have sworn not to touch the juice of hops and malt until it comes down to the old price.

WIN THE LAHM CUP.
Chandler and Mccoy Travel 500 Miles
in Balloon.

St. Louis.-Swinging through the at
mosphere at a speed roughly esti-
mated at % miles an hour, the United
States signal corps balloon No. 10.
in which Aeronauts J. c. Mccoy and
Capt. Charles Def. Chandler, of the
United States signal corps, assembled
here Thursday evening, passed over
Illinois and Indiana Thursday night,
and across Ohio Friday, and at night
fall was apparently about to land in
the vicinity of Point Pleasant, w. Va,
when last heard from.
The distance covered, on straight
line measurements, is approximately
500 miles, and the voyage won for the
aeronauts the Lahm cup.
The Lahm cup was instituted by the
Aero Club of America, soon after the
international races at Paris in 1906, at
which Lieut.. Frank P Lahm won the
James Gordon Bennett cup for the
Aero Club of America. So joyful were
the members of the club at the VIC
tory that the cup was named for the
pilot of the balloon United States, and
it was put up by the club to be won by
the aeronaut who travelled more than
402 miles, the distance travelled by the
United States in the Paris races, pro-
vided the start was made from Ameri-
can soil. Lieut.. Lahm has never held
the cup, and this was the first time it
was ever won.
When the ascension was made here
Thursday evening it was the intention
of the aeronauts to remain in the air
all night as test of the gas to be
used by the balloons in the interna-
tional aeronautic contests which begin
here next week. However, consider
ing the likelihood that they might be
carried a long distance, they went
amply prepared for long flight.
Provisions in tin cans, self-heating
by lime-slacking device, were stored
in the basket, and number of differ
ent instruments for testing purposes
were carried.

ARE VIM. ENGLISH WALLINc AND
HIS WIFE,
With Sister-in-Law and Party of Their
Friends--AccuseG of Plotting
With Finnish Rebels.

St Petersburg, Oct. William
English Walling, of Indianapolis, Ind
his wife and sister-in-law, Miss Rose
Transky, were arrested by force OF
gendarmes because of their association
with several members of the Finnish
progressive party. They are still be
ing held at che gendarmes' headquar
ters at a late hour Sunday night.
A representative OF the American
embassy appeared at the headquarters
in their behalf, but he can take no &C
tiOn until Monday morning.
Kellogg Durland, another American
and a friend OF MIR. Walling, who has
been in st. Petersburg gathering ma
terial for u series of lectures, also was
taken into custody, but later was re
leased.
Mr.. Walling is a wealthy socialist
He is a grandson Of the late VIM. H.
English, who was vice presidential can
didate in 1880 when Gen. Hancock ran
for the American presidency.
For several years past Mr.. WallinG
has taken an active interest in the
Russian struggle, and this is the third
time he has visited Russia.
The Firms with whom the Wallings
have been associated also were arrest
ed. In this party are three men and
one women. The woman is the wife
OF Prof. Malmburg, OF Helsingfors uni
Versity.
The Firms have been in st. Peters
burg for several days. They have been
under close police observation all the
time. Saturday and Sunday the Firms,
Mr.. and Mrs. Walling and Miss Tran
sky dined together and Sunday the en-.
tire party was taken into custody.
The arrest took place at the Hotel
De France, one OF the leading hostel
ries of this city. The rooms OF the
Walling party and the Firms were thor
oughly searched by colonel of gen
darmes and several assistants. This
search lasted several hours All the

luton, though this charge is not the
foundation for his arrest Sunday night.

Harvest.

In q current humorous paper a lady
on horseback is represented looking
over a wall at a farmer. She says,
Il am so glad you are going in for
wheat, Mr.. Hayrick! My husband
made a great deal Of money in it on
Wall street" The satirist has touched,
without intending it, the profound fact
that under all our material prosperity
lies the produce of the earth; that
every man, from the farmer to the
master of the stock market, succeeds
or fails with the crops. One of the
most promising American novelists,
who died in his prime, set for himself
the splendid imaginative task Of
tracing through a series of novels the
kernel of wheat, from the field to the
loaf Of bread. In his Epic of the
Wheat" he attempted to tell in a new
kind Of harvest fable the story Of mod
ern man. AS far as he went, he did
succeed in making the kernel Of wheat
the heart of large section of our
highly complex life. The flooding in
of millions of bushels of wheat about
his hero, who stands In the wheat
pit" in the stock exchange, is as pow
erful as the rush of armies in the old
military epics. All summer long the
world watches the crop indications.
There is a shortage of grain-crops."
THE cotton crop is moderate COM
pared with last year" AN improve
ment of a hundred million bushels
was made in the corn crop in July"
Complicated by other forces not sure
ly discerned by the wisest statesman
and the shrewdest capitalist, these
crop reports swing the world up and
down, says Youths Companion, until
the harvest is all in and the facts are
known. There is a momentary settle
ment in business and politics, the
world breathes a sigh of relief, and
than all industry that depends on the
crops begins to hum Harvest is
great taking Of stock between the
coming in of the raw materials of life
and the winter months, when those
materials are converted to the mani
fold uses of man.

HEINzES ARE HARD HIT
THEIR BUTTE BANK FAILS AND
FIRM is SUSPENDED.
Copper Dividends Cut-Prominent
Banking House of Hamburg, Ger
many, Forced to Wall.

New York. - Sensations followed
each other in rapid succession in the
financial district Thursday as the re-
suit of the collapse of the projected
corner in United Copper and the sus-
pension of a prominent brokerage
firm Wednesday.
The firm of Otto Heinze & Co. was
suspended on the stock exchange.
F. Augustus Heinze, the Butte cop
per magnae, resigned the presidency
of the Mercantile National bank Of
New York.
The Amalgamated Copper company
at its directors meeting cut its quar-
terly dividend from two per cent. to
one per cent.
The directors of the Boston & Mon
tana Copper company declared a quar-
terly dividend of six dollars in place
of a former dividend of S12.
The failure of Haller-Soehle & Co.,
prominent bankers of Hamburg, Ger
many, with liabilities that may reach
81 100000, was announced.
The State Savings bank of Butte,
Mont. of which the Heinzes are the
principal stockholders, suspended.
AS a result of these sensations the
stock market was hating and irregu-
lar, but there was apparent feeling
that break of the attempted corner in
United Copper had cleared the at.
mosphere somewhat, and the market
rallied before the close.
The suspension of Otto Heinze &
Co., of which firm Max M. Schultze is
the stock exchange member, was
based on a complaint to the exchange
made by Gross & Kleeberg, the stock
exchange firm which failed. In a COM
municatiOn to the president of the
stock exchange this firm charged Otto
HeinZe & Co. with refusing to accept
3.202 shares of United Copper, said to
have been bought on the order of the
Heinze~hrm. The action, Gross &
Kleeberg state, was responsible for
their failure. Attorneys for this firm
stated that the amount owing to the
firm by the Heinze firm aggregates

JUDGE INSTRUcTs JURY TO Ac-
QUIT THE DEFENDANTS.
State Did Not Prove the Corpus De-
licti-Verdict Is Greeted with
Cheers,

Decatur, Ill.-Acting under instruc
tions from Judge Cochran, the jury
Friday night returned a verdict &C
quitting Frederick MagiTl and his wife
Faye Graham MagiH, of the charge oi
numbering Mrs. Pet Magill, the first
wife of Magill. In his instructions
the judge said the state had failed to
prove the corpus delicti.
The verdict was greeted with cheers
despite the efforts of the court to
maintain order. The crowd in the
courtroom hurried forward and of.
fered congratulations to the Magills.
The jury afterwards filed by and each
shook hands with the defendants.
On May 80 last, Mrs. Pet MagilI
was found dead in her home at Clin,
ton, ILL.,, and a pOstmortem eXamina,
ton held six weeks after her death
showed that she had been suffocated
by chloroform. On July in Denver
Frederick Magill, her husband, and
Miss Faye Graham, young woman
who had been a close friend of the
family, were married. Four days
later in San Diego, Cal, Magill and
his second wife were arrested on a
charge of numbering the first Mrs.
Magill. They were brought back to
Clinton and secured change of venue
to this city. In the trial the state
claimed that Magill and Miss Gra-
ham by their conduct had driven Mrs.
Magill to suicide and were therefore
guilty of murder.

WHAT is PE-RU-NA?'

Some people call Peruua a great

Which of these people are rlghti
Is it more proper to call Peruna a ca

Our reply is, that Peruna is both a
tonic and q Catarrh remedy. Indeed,
there can be no efectual CatarTh REM
edy that is not also tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any
case of catarrh, a remedy must not
only have a specific action on the mu-
Cous membranes affected by the ca
tarrh, but it must have a general tonic
action on the nervous system.
Catarrh, even in persons who are.
otherwise strong, is a weakened con-
dition of some mucous membrane.
There must be something to strength.

the number of sick, wounded and dy-

San Jose, Cal.-Charles M. Short.
ridge, ex-state senator, editor of the
Daily Times and former owner of the
