made an escent In bad weather, but
she proved % strong and behaved so
well that a start north was immediate

countered a storm, was driven back
and landed on top Of a glacier. Every
thing was saved.

When the airship left the shed II
was anchored to a steamer, the Ex.

on vogsl Bay island the America

an increasing gale and driving snow
storm beat her backward over the
mainland OF Spitxbergsn. Seeing the
hopelessness Of attempting TO battle
with the gale. the valves were opened
and the balloon quickly descended on
a glacier.
The occupants Of the car secured
the balloon. A rescue party from the
steamer reached the glacier an hour
and q half later and had considerable
dificulty in saving the airship. The
balloon portion had to be cut In two
and the car was taken to pieces in

port It over the ice hills and assures
to the sea. After two days work this
was successfully accomplished and on

A Reasoning Elephant.

One Of the duties of domesticated
elephant in India was to fill trough
with water every morning. The trough
was set upon two logs, directly under
a pump. A mischievous boy rolled one
of the logs away, so that one end OF
the trough rested on the ground.
The next morning the unsuspecting
elephant began pumping as usual. In
a few minutes he stopped. looking
round to see If the trough was filed.
OF course it was not, as the water ran
out nearly as fast as he pumped 1t in.
He pumped harder than before. and
again stopped, and seemed perplexed.
Then he let go of the pump handle
and examined the trough for few
minutes; then he began pumping again.
The third time he stopped. walked
round the trough and lifted the end
that was on the ground. He let it
drop; went to the other end, raised
that with his trunk and held it while
he kicked out the log upon which 1t
had rested. Then he returned to the
pump, filled the trough without diff
Guilty and walked away. He had solved
the problem and made matter right, all
as result of his own intelligence.

tion and insist that the seeming re-
bates were in reality only clerical err
ors which are likely to occur In any
business transaction.
That the errors were undiscovered
until the government found them out
and not until quite number OF them
had been committed is also explained
by both companies concerned
The secret agent of the government
is said to have discovered that in many
instances where Schwarzchild d SulZ-
berger company had shipped less than
10000 pounds in "peddling cars, they
were given bill for the exact amount
shipped and payment was made upon
this basis
In order that such rebates be paid
it was necessary for the false bills TO
pass auditors OF the railroad and pack
ing company. 1t Is not stated how
many false bills We're uncovered oy
the government but rumor has 1t that
there were between thirty and nifty
cases.
More than year ago the same frm
was convicted Of receiving rebates from
the Alton road. and heavy fines were
assessed against the company ana
against the firm.

Boulder Col. Aug. 15.-John w.
Reeves. brakeman employed on the
Colorado g. Northwestern railroad who
has been held as a suspect in connec-
tion with the destruction Saturday OF
the Colorado & Southern station by fire
and dynamite, confessed that he was
resupnseliob taoin taoin taoin taoinnn
responible for the crime. Later Frank
kiser. another suspect, also confessed.
The result of their act was the wip-
ing out of five lives and the injury OF
a half hundred others, besides the de-
struction of property valued at half a
million dollars. When 1t became known
that Reeves had confessed, mob
gathered at the county Jail for the pur-

tied from the Jail by officers and TAX

confession.
Frank kiser says that during dis
cusson of the Colorado & Southern
strike the suggestion was made that
the, crowd set fire to some of the COM

and set fire to a caboose belonging to

STANDARD IN COUP?
Charged That Oil is to Retaliate
AGAINST NEWSPAPERS.


Appleton Wis, Aug. 15.-Ts the
Standard Oil company trying to secure
a grip on the newspapers and maga-
zines of the country to which SO many
of the oil trusts troubles are attrib-
uted?
This is the question suggested by the
commonly accepted report that the
Standard interests are behind the giant
merger Of paper manufacturing plants.
Originally announced as merely mer-
ger Of the print paper mills, it is now
understood that the combination is to
include in addition the plants devoted
to the manufacture of pulp, sulphite.
manila and wrapping paper. This
means that II the merger succeeds, the
hackers will have practically all the
periodical publications of the country
at their mercy unless the long-dis-
cussed plan of cooperation mills dl
carried into effect. 1t will take at least
$25 900, 900 to float the merger and the
impression is gaining ground here that
this capital is to come from the Stand
ard interests.
1t is reported here that the Watab.
Hennepin and Northwestern mills Of
Minnesota Will undCuDtedly De IN the
merger. The primal purpose, says a
prominent paper manufacturer, "is to
guarantee raw material for the year to
come.@
A party Of twelve appraisers from
the east have been in the Fox River
valley all week setting figures on the
various plants. The success or fall
ure of the entire project rests on the
acceptance or rejection Of the figures
set by this body.
