The High school bunch is making a
great deal of the forward pass. The
pass won for them against Kansas
City, Kan, last Saturday and this
week has seen many new develop

for the pass.
The squad was increased last night
by the addition of Swan. a new line
man who looks we'll in football toys.
He is fast and heavy and will be of
great service to the High school line.
He will probably not be used Saturday
as he will not have had enough prac-

Ray Sw~earingen, a brother of the
fast left end of the local high school
bunch, has been shifted from an n
candidate to a sub backfield man and
is playing a great game. He may be
used in the game Saturday.

FLIGHT OF The U. S.
MIR. Atherholt Tells Why They Came
Down in Canada.

Caledonia, Ont, Oct. 24.-The exact
spot where Maj. H. b. Hersey lande
in the balloon United States was on
the farm of Thomas Berry, five miles
Maj. Hersey was Arthur T. Atherholt
of New York City. The balloon was
one of the nine that started in the
gordon Bennett cup competition,
championship. The United States
started from st. Louis at 4:05 p. m.
Monday. Speaking of the journey,
Arthur T. Atherholt said:
AFTER we had made the ascension
at St. Louis we saw five other bal
looms, but they were soon lost to view
in the mist, and after that we did not
see any of them. Our balloon struck a
current of air hat carried US directly
north and we Travelled at al elevation

Hamburg, and then darkness came
on. We took turns in sleeping.
A daybreak We sailed over Zion
just outside of Chicago. and at 6:2T
(western time) We started on our jour-
ney across Lake Michigan. In our
journey across the lake we Travelled at
an elevation of from 1900 to 5000 feet.
1t took us Jour and one-half hours to
cross the lake, and when we reached
the state of Michigan we were carried
in an easterly direction and reached
Lake St. Clair.
1T took US about half an hour to
cross Lake ST. Clair and We continued
to travel east and a little to south. We
thought that by the way the wind was
blowing we would land somewhere in
the New England states.
Started Across Lake Erie.
1--WE started to cross Lake Erie,
travelling southeast, but when we were
in the middle of the lake the wind
changed and carried us direct north
We got back to the Canadian shore
about $3.50 o'clock (weStern time), and
We're carried across Ontario northeast,
by east. We struck the Canadian shore
at Port Dover.
when crossing Lake Erie we knew
that we could not travel much farther,
and to make sure that we reached land
safely we threw everything possible
overheard, including u provisions n
water bottles
w Travelled at the rate of 20 miles an
hourThrough Ontario and we reached our
place of landing at 5:15 (western time).
The wind at that time was heading US
across Lake Ontario. We knew that We
across the lake, so we decided to drop, as
we had neither provisions nor ballast.
w made the fastest time at the start
of our journey where we crossed the Mis-
souri,, Illinois and Mississippi rivers in
side of 45 minutes. We Travelled directly
over the Mississippi for about 10 miles and

Mr.. Berry and his friends did all in their
power to aid us and We were certainly
glad to get a square meal. While travel
ing we had nothing hot to eat but soup.

around it. We wet the lime and by that

knights and Ladies of Security o
Not Agree With City. g.

The Knights and Ladies of Security
refuses to pay h entire amount
claimed by the city for accrued inter-
est on the issue of improvement bonds
purchased by the fraternal order. The
city says that $60S.66 is due in interest
while the Knights and Ladies of Sc
curity offer but $4O1.80 and refuse to
pay any more than that sum-.
In d~isposing of the bonds to the
order an abstract was furnished by
the city conforming to the form fol-
lowed in preparing abstracts for SINH
lar bond issues in years past. NO one
has ever seen fit to question the form
of the abstract previously until the
present sale Of bonds was made to the
knights and Ladies of Security. h
the usual abstract was furnished they
refused to accept it and raised a storm
of objections About one month was
used up in preparing an abstract that
finally met the approval OF the pur-
chasers and all this time interest was
piling up at the rate OF $l1.4e a DAY.
The city claims that this interest
should be paid over since they fulfilled
their mart of the transaction when they
furnished an abstract that was IN con-
formity with abstracts furnished in the
past. The Knights and Ladies or Sc
curity think that they should not be
to pay interest to h city
except from the time that the city fur
nished the first proof of a perfect alb
stract that accorded with their IDEAS,
this would mean from september 10 10
the present time.
The sale was made subject to ac-
crued interest and the purchasers
agreed to it; the dispute hinges on
what length of time the accrued in
terest actually ran.
Rather than lose the $207 of inter-
est the city officials state that they
would be willing to readvertise the
bonds and offer hem anew for sale.
The Knights and Ladies of Security
have on deposit a forfeit of $1,000 with
the city to indemnify the city against
any loss should they decide not - take
over the bonds. In the case that the
city refuses to reduce the mount of
interest claimed it vii! stand out Tor
forfeit and order the bonds to be
advertised for sale. This is the ultf-
matum hat has been fixed up. The
Knights and Ladies of Security can
either nav the $60S.66 interest or reject
the issue and forfeit the $1,00O that is
upon deposit.

cross bar hold.
The second fall was gained by the

wrestling as has ever been seen on the
mat. The Greek outweighed Coburn

audience after ten minutes of wrest-

Greeks terrible rushes, and after the
Greek got the fatal crotch hold the

the Greek slowly but surely pressed Co.

OF THE WINNER.
Pilot of the Pommern Describes His
Long Balloon Flight.

Asbury Park, Oct. 24.-Oscar Ersbs-
loeh, pilot of the German balloon Pom
.mern, describes his trip as follows:
| We left st. Louis at 4 o'clock Monday.
We sailed ~orthwe and as we thought
we could not go very far in this direc-
ton, We went up to 5000 feet, where we
found a current going east.
We had f~orty-one heavy bags of bal
last with US, of which we used ten UNI
til midnight. We remained the entire
night at this height and did not feel
very cold. We then sailed east and
passed a great many rivers and large
towns and arose in the daytime to $500
feet and felt very comfortable.
Owing to our good charts, perhaps,
we knew almost every hour where we
were. Only once were we forced to
go down and ask the people the name
of the territory over which we were
sailing, and that was at Fort Wash
ington, in Ohio. At 8 O'Clock Tuesday
we lowered until the drag rope touch
ed the earth. We obtained the in
formation and continued on our way,
always going east, and very soon
reached the altitude of 5000 feet, and
continued our journey until we saw
the city of Philadelphia.
Here we decided to try for a cur
rent that would TAX us north in or
der to reach Massachusetts,, where we
could reach a greater distance from
ST. Louis than we could in New Jersey.
We first went down to 500 feet and
went up again to 10000 feet, but
failed to find another current but that
which took US east, and so we resolved
to descend at the mouth of the Shark
river. because it was impossible to
cross the ocean or venture over it with
the hope of reaching land. We were
very sorry because we had Is bags of
ballast left, with which we would have
been able to have gone 500 miles
further.
AS we decided to go as close to the
ocean as was safe we resolved to go
down in the streets of Asbury Park.
In coming down I pulled the valve
rope and saw the telegraph wires ap-
parently in our way. I threw over
more ballast and finally we went down
safely in an open lot amid a bunch of
bushes. We found lots of kind people
to assist us. 1 found the air currents
different from the European currents.
I discovered that the currents in
Europe turn in lower altitude to the
left and in higher altitude to the right,
while in this country I find that north
ern. as well as southern currents, turn
to the east in the upper regions.
This is a general account of my trip
from ST. Louis in the Pommern.

NEEDED AN EXTRA JURY.
Special Venire to Try the Sim Watts
Joint Case.

When the case of the city against Sim
Watts was called in district court this
made the existing jury look like a bar of
soap after a hard washing. In a few min
utes 1t was necessary to draw a special
Venire OF 20. and deputies were hurried
out to gather the venfre.
Inc Watts case was appealed from the
police court, where the defendant was
found guilty IN keeping a nuisance in con-
nectlon with n restaurant, a second hand
store, a small menagerie and several 9TH
er enterprises at his place near Fourth
and Kansas avenue. The city will offer
as evidence the testimony of several po-
icemen, also a jug of the worst combina-
ton of alcohol and glycerine ever distrfb-
uted under the name of whisky.
