ra's fleet was smashed and the men
said now was the time to demonstrate
whether balloons would be serviceable
in case of war, and told me to take
bundle of matted milk ADVERTISE
ments, and imagine 1t was a dynamite
bomb, and see If | could land it on
the deck of big white battleship
took good aim and let the bundle go
and it struck on the deck just in front
of cross looking old man in a white
| uniform, and scattered all over the
deck and the sailors and marines came
up on deck in wild stampede, and
threw the matted milk advertisements
| overheard, and as we sailed on there
was an explosion of red hot language
| from the cross looking man in the
white uniform, and the boss balloon
man said: That Is good shot, Bub.
for you landed that bundle of alleged
dynamite square on the deck of Ad-
miral Bob Evans flagship. Didn't you
hear him swear?" and then we went
on, and the man in the white uniform
was shaking his fists and his mouth
was working overtime, but we could
mt hear the brand of profanity he was
emitting, but we knew he was going
some, for before we got out of hearing
the bugles were sounding on more
than a dozen battleships, the men
came up from below and took positions
in the rigging and everywhere, and all
was alive with action, and the boss bal
loon man said the feet was preparing
for its trip around the horn, to San
Francisco, and then | told the bal
loon man that he couldn't land me
minute too quick. because / was 60
ing to join that fleet and go with Bob
Evans, II / never did another thing In
my life.
The inspiration came to me up
there In the rarefied air, and was as
sure l was going around the horn as
though l was already on one of the
ships.
We sailed along part of the day
and the gas began to give out, and
l had to throw over ballast, and open
cans of food. and bottles of stuff to
drink, and / made some good shots
with the sand bags and the bottles.
Once / hit right in front of a brake
man on freight train with bottle
of soda water. and again I hit an
oyster schooner with a sand bag and
must have chuckled at least barrel
of oysters. The gas kept escaping,
and presently we came. down in a
field in Delaware, after l had hit a
chief of police in Wilmington with a
bottle of beer. which is a crime in a
prohibition country, and after we
landed the police arrested the two
balloon men, and tied up the balloon.
They paid me $50 for my services,
and took a train for Fortress Mon
roe to join the fleet, and left the two
balloon men on the way to whip
ping post.

So much for the official statements

outlook in the island is exceedingly
tnpTomising for peace and a stable
government. Since the United States
as been in control rebellions have
been latent in many parts Of the is

THE CITY IS BLAMED
Asserted Traction Limited
Cannot Start Under Ex-
listing Conditions.
MAY BE INAUGURATED SOON

The much talked of limited in-erur-
ban schedule from Indianapolis 10 Co
lumbus, o. has been abandoned for
the present according to traction Off
cials. Two causes are given for this
unexpected action. One is the attitude
of the Richmond city administration
toward the traction lines. The inter
urban officials desire 10 wait until the
suits. now pending in the courts. in
which they are involved are decided,
The other reason given IS that the Of
ficials think it not wise 10 start the
cars at this season of the year. A
schedule made 70 suit conditions now
when traffic is DELAYED by storms and
unseas sonable weatuer would certainly
have TO De revised when spring came
This they do not desire To do. They
do promise however that the through
interurbans will be placed in the ser
vice sometime in the future. Local
AGENTS think that this will happen in
March or April when the weather set
ties and the spring travel begins.
