YANKEE BALLOON IN LEAD

CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-The con-
testants in the international bal
loon race have broken into two
separate columns. The balloons,
one of which is piloted by Major
Hersey, of the U. s. army, are now
floating over Lake Michigan, pro
PEELED by stiff northwesternly
breeze and should be next reported
near Ludington or Manistee on the
peninsula. They have covered
about $50 miles and are leading the
race SO far.
The second column, and appar-
emily those are the balloons that
took the higher altitude. are float
ing along a more southern cource
and are going much slower. Caught

ed slightly to the north. the big gas
bags were waited over Illinois and

ing the southern groupe of contest
ants. 1t has caught the outer cur
rents of the same wind belt that Is
carrying the two northern bags, and
may be expected to cross Ohio In
the vicinity Of Toledo, and perhaps
eventually reach Detroit If the wind
does not veer. the bags seen
further south are floating lazily in
the grasp Of a southeasternly wind.
One of these balloons is the Ger
man entry, supposedly the Pom
moren.
The two big gas bags seen this
morning were floating in sight of
each other when they disappeared
into the low hanging mist that OBJ
scures everything on the lake in the
late fail. At sos this morning the
United States No. and its COM
panion bag passed over Waukegan,
Ill.
At $50 No. 3 was sighted hang
ing over Zion City, At Zion City
the American balloon, following the
usual tactics of the American navi-
gators, was floating close to the
ground. The pilot called out to the
townspeople as they passed over
and asked the name OF the place.
Everything is alright here" he
said.
LINDEN, Ind, Oct. 22.--Three

compression, on the other hand,
was so great that 1t crushed the

of human flesh were found three

BRICK FOR cREMAToRY

The representative of the Decarie
Manufacturing Co. has agreed TO
enclose the new crematory in a
brick building instead OF a steel
one, as was first proposed. Mayor
Moore and Pres. w. X. Roy. of the
board of works, both insisted on a
brick structure. This will cost the
company more than steel. but will
not cost the city any more. The
detailed plans aud specifications OF
the new crematory are expected in

calamity as this? I have seen the

elements, locking their iron arms,
tore the earth and air alike. The
force of the concussion created a
tremendous vacuum, which caused

The accident occurred near River Bend

alighted from a Pawcatuck Valley car
when he was struck by a runabout driven
at considerable speed by Charles Roberts.
Mr. Roberts was unable 10 avoid hitting

the office of County Clerk of Bourbon
county, subject to the action of the
Democratic party. We do not know
whether Mr.. Patton will have any op-
position for the Office or not; but it is
safe to say ne will be hard to beat.
There is no more popular young man
in Bourbon County than Little Bally"
Patton. During his connection with
the office as deputy under his father,
the late E. D. Patton, he made many
friends. There is hardly a person in
the county ne has not done a favor for
at some time. and they will all remem-
Der it and will al feel it a pleasure to
vote for him to continue in the office.
He has the business OF the office at his
finger ends, and is courteous, polite
and cbliging to all who have business
with him. The man who defeats
"Bally'' will truly have to hustle. +"

Report For February.

Since the reopening of the schools
after the burning of our school build
ing. $50 pupils have been enrolled.
Owing to the excuse made by many,
that our new quarters" are not COM
mOdious. ETC., the attendance has not
been so good as formerly. 1t should
have been at least 400 but 1t is only
365. Quite a number have been report
ed sick many could not get their books
at once. and have notlyet entered, but
twelve or fourteen are reported by the
truant officer ready to enter Monday.
AS we lost all our records and only
nine days of the month remained after
the fire we did not deem it best to try
to send out the regular monthly cards
at the close of this month. We are
glad indeed. to state to the patrons
that both teachers and pupils, as a rule.
are taking up their work with zeal
and enthusiasm that are highly COM
mendabie. A substantial proof of this
is the fact that all the teachers and
most of the pupils were glad of the OPP
portunity to work on the 22nd, legal
holiday.
While our school rooms, tables and
chairs are not what we desire, they are
a good make shift and are not so
bad as those now in use by other child
rem in our State. ,.
Again we solicit the hearty co-opera-
ton of all our patrons so that the
years work may be completed and the
children promoted as'usual.

Jewish New Year and Day of
AtOnement.

Our Hebrew citizens will appropriate
ly observe their New Year aud Day Of
Atonement in this city.
Rosh Hashonah, the New Year, begins
on the evening Of Sept. s. Orthodox
Hebrews will observe the festival Sep
tember and 10. Those of reform faith
will observe but one day.
Yom Kippur, the day Of atonement, be-
gins at sundown on September II. For
twenty-four hours from that time He
brews all over the world will abstain
from eating and drinking.
The lowiest Jew makes ready for the
event; he gets fresh clothes for the fam
lily; his children will be made to look
spick and span, and all abandon thought
OF business.
The New Year and Day OF Atonement
have strong hold on tho Jew, BIO he
either reform or orthodox, and even
though he is careless or has given up
the observance OF other Jewish Festi
walls, he is sure carefully to observe
these two.
In the old days TO sacrifice was too
much for the devout Hebrew to make on
Yom Kippur to secure the forgiveness
Of his sins. Men stayed in the syna.
gogues all night and the next day at
prayer. So strict Is the law that even
Jewish children must abstain from food
just like their elders.
