their union was opposed hy father
and mother Thelan and one night
Young Mage got his horse and buggy
around in front of the Thelan home
stead and the young lady silently
stole out, joined the young Lothario
and they started off towards Mitch
ell supposing that the father would
not be able to track hem.
But 1t had rained the night before
and the fresh buggy tracks in the
soft soil made it easy for Mr.. Thelan
to follow them. They reached
Mitchell early in the morning and
left the horse and buggy at one Of
the livery barns and then went to
the Highland house. After that
they disappeared completely. The
father sent word to Sheriff Cook to
get possession of the young people,
bnI the sheriff could not find them.
The father came up as 500 as
possible the next morning after the
Opponent and then returned home.
1t was reported Friday that the
couple had been seen here and the
parents came back that evening, and
! after searching all day Saturday they
vent back home Saturday evening.
The father said he had no particular
objection to the girl marrying
Mage. and all he cared for was tina,

an honorable manner. He said that

The Sunday trains on the Mil
waukee and Omaha roads added
quite a good deal to the crowd of
people who were already here.
About every available spot on the
side streets off of Main is covered
with some kind of a business prop
osition where the managers are
going to make a stake before the
week is out. They were all clamor-
ing for the best positions and it was
a pretty hard matter to satisfy some
Of them.
Half finished buildings on Main
street are being utilized for some-
thing during the week. Shows.
restaurants. ETC., are filling up every
inch Of the vacant space.
The corn palace building was a
subject for the camera friends Sun
day and today, and everybody with
an instrument wants to get a picture
Of the handsomest building Mitchell
has ever had.
Col. Robe, the decorator, finished
his WORK Saturday evening, but
contrary to former years he remained
over to take in the opening day Of
the corn palace D will leave this
+. evening for his home at Lawrence.
Kan. The colonel has made a new
record for himself this year and
demonstrated that all Of his ideas
has not been put into the building
former years. We shall expect the
colonel back in 1908 to again decor
ate the building.
The Redfield band came down this
morning and will remain throughout
THE week. This insures some ex-
celent music on the streets for the
various attractions. Redfield's band
is one of the best organizations in
the state and the boys do their
utmost to contribute their share
toward entertaining the people.
The Farwell band reached town
this morning and played on the
streets during tile cay. The band
makes some good music ann it is
entitled to much praise for its
efforts.

 "On the evening of Sept. 1 experi- ments made with kites led us to be, lie7e that the wind might die down the following morning, being probably sue ceeded by light westerly winds.
 ''Early next morning there was every indication of calm weather A final trial of tue motors was made, and the America, with the stars and stripes flying at her stern, emerged from her home, a perfect afr machine.
 "Mr. Wenman, who was to com mand; Mir. Rosenberg, who was re- sponslble for the compasses and navi- gation, and myself dn charge of the engine room) went aboard, the Ameri- ca meanwhile being held to the earth by means of ropes controlled by forty men.
 "The chief went forward to his place on the deck of the airship, MT. Rlesen- berg took up his position on the bridge at the wheel and compass, while l took control of the motors. After swinging for compass the navigator rpported all ln readiness, and the steel cable was passed down to the steamer Express, which was to tow us clear of the land.
 Tmmedlately afterward, amid abso- lute- slence-for special orders had been given that no one was to speak except the officer in eommand-the Express slowly moved of and lowed us around the headland into the un- known. AS soon as the ship was clear l started the motors for the first time in the air.
 "Immediately the America, with a slow, gliding movement, forged ahead, passing the Express as though the lat ter were standing stlll aud 1t at once became apparent that instead of the Express towing us we were towing the steamer We all now settled down for our voyage to the pole, No anxie- ty or nervousness was apparent. AL though the wind had dropped, snow was falling, and threatening banks of fog lay in the west.
 Suddenly a series of remors through the ship indicated that the cable con- meeting us with the Express was being terked and that the wind was treshen' ing.
 "As there was imminent peril of these jerks wrenching the aIrship from the car orders were signaled to the Express, 25O feet below, to cast us off, This order was carried out, and the America ran free, her guide rope trail' ing in the water.

TWO 5000 CLAUSES

When the delegates from this city insisted on the Alaska Rogd CqmmiS- sion receiving the following endorse, ment they did a nice thing in behalf of a worthy wcrk. The reference in the resolutions read:
 "That the work of the Alaska Road Commission iu the construction of gov ernment roads in Alaska is deserving of the highest commsndatlOn for the capable and economical expenditure of the funds at the disposal of the com mission and for the excellent results accomplished iu opening avenues of transportation where the same will prove most valuable; and congress is urged to increase the annual apprOpri- atiou for that purpose"
 Equally isr seeing and Intended for good, was the action of Alderman Chris Shea, who insisted on clause which would call attention to the wide difference in freight and passenger rates that prevail here and those that should exist and who stood firmly for  having a strong claused inserted in the resolutions, but which was cut down 80 that it finally read. .-

 "The motors, which had been slowed down. were again given full power and I was delighted to see the Ameri, ca clear from the land and steer to- ward the open. AS soon as We lost sight of the dangerous headland the motors were again slowed down to 900 evolutions a minute, and for another fifteen minutes our voyage was con unued under perfect conditions.
 Looking out of the opposite window of the engine room, was astounded to see that we were drifting upon land in that direction. It was clear that something was wrong, and. going to the bridge, asked Mir. Wellman and Mir. Rlesenberg what was the natter
 "They informed me that the compass was not working properly, and they had not the remotest idea of their bear ings. The only course was to again get into communication with the Ex- press, but where was she?
 "A few minutes afterward the fog lifted, and we saw our little steamer a mile away. Mir. Wellman told me that the ship had made two complete turns against the wind. Again the fog closed in, the Express vanished from our view, the wind again freshened, our ship blew round, and we were utterly ignorant as to our course.

 "The emergency valve was opened, and the balloon began to settle. Twice we touched the glacier slightly, with no other shock than gentle rebound Meanwhile the cutting knife was un. lashed and run up to the side of the balloon.
 "As the America approached the gla. cler for the third time the incision de. aatlng the balloon was made. With a mighty roar the gas escaped, while the envelope fell gracefully and clear of the airship itself, leaving the three of US standing on her deck. An examlna, ton of the charts led US to believe that we were in the neIghborhoOd of Foul bay, and our instruments indicated that we had been in the air two and a quarter hours. The storm abated, and the Express steamed up to the face of the glacier.

CARMEN ARE DIVIDED
ON QUESTION OF WAGES
New Employees of Traction
Company Not Content
With Schedule
WANT A FLAT RATE
Contend That They Should
Receive as Much Pay
as Old Hands
WANT A FLAT RATE

OAKLAND. Feb. z3.-There is a d.
vision of opinion among the carmen
employed by the Oakland Traction
company as to the advisability of ac-
cepting the advance in wages volun-
tarily granted them by the company.
and which Increase is to GO into effect
March /. The new schedule provides
for graduated scale of wages, ranging
from 80 cents an hour for new men
TO 40 cents an hour for men who have
been in the employ of the company for
ten years or more. BY the provisions
OF the new scale the men are given
one cent an hour additional for each
year OF their Service with the com
pany. up to ten years.
Some OF the new men declare that
they are entitled to as mucn as the
older employees of the company. and
they demand fat rate of wages.
These men contend that they are as
competent as the old men and are en-
titled to the same pay. This view
however, is met with the argument that
men who have faithfully served the
company for number of years are
worthy Of better wages. Nearly all
OF the older men own their own homes,
and for this reason are interested in
the development of the system and of
this city.
J. P. Potter, the general superintend-
ent Of the Oakland Traction Company,
said tonight that he had no informa-
tion as to the attitude of the new men
regarding the scale which so far as
he knew, had been favorably received
by all the company's employees.
