SAFE IN WEST PART OF
 COUNTY BLOWN OPEN.

The safe in the store of Starr X West at Evansville, was cracked last Sunday night by robbers and so far as could be learned the exact amount of their booty was not known, but estim- ated to be between SIS and S20o.
 Nitroglycerine was Used in wreeking the safe and from all appearances tie work Was done by professionals. The door was blown off completely and thrown several feet from the safe. As yet no clue has been obtained that would lead to the identity and=eapture of =the guilty =ones.

 After the heavy rain last Thursday afternoon Will Mckee and Lewis Clement. who were in Prairie Grove. started for their homes east of town in wagon. When they came to the fording of tie Walnut Grove branch, near Theodore Shafers home, the branch was high, but they drove in and were soon floating down stream at a lively speed. Fortunately the wagon did not turn over, and after riding the waves in this fashion for 75 or loo yards, the wagon lodged and all got out safely.-Prairie Grove Herald.

is an experienced photographer, and
has taken numerous fine aerial views,
notably one of San Francisco, but on
his Los Angeles ascent he did not have
the proper Photographic equipment.
The pictures, which are the pioneer
balloon views around Los Angeles,
yield, nevertheless, a restricted COM
prehension of what may be seen from
a balloon.
They lack decidedly the sense of the
eternal which comes to the aeronaut. A
sweeping view from a mountain peak
vaguely brings this, but to be near it's
immensely you must turn only to aerial
navigation. All aeronauts feel it, and,
as Roy Knabenshue says, no air trav-
eler can be an atheist. Get away from
earth and watch it leaving you, and
you cannot avoid a thought of earth's
Creator and the almighty greatness of
his works. Nothing better than an air
voyage to bring a realization of this.
To the aeronaut Los Angeles offers a
wonderful field for aerial trials. This
is not alone in the balmy climate, with
the bright days and the opportunities
for trials every month in the year. To
the endurance enthusiast, the record
maker who would develop more broadly

CAUGHT AT HIS OWN GAME
Two young merchants, Clint and
John, who occupied adjoining stores in
a small town. were intimate friends.
When business was dull they visited
back and forth. Each was fond of
joke. One cold, blustery day, when
customers were few, Clint sat behind
the stove in Johns store. young
woman, a stranger, came in, and John
stepped forward to wait on her.
II am soliciting subscriptions for the
fresh air fund" said she.
you'd better speak to the proprietor
about it," John said, politely. you
will find him a very liberal man. He
is back there by the stove"
John grinned as the young woman
approached Clint and restated her case.
How much are the merchants gen.
orally giving?" Clint asked, with grave
interest in the cause.
Some are giving as much as a dol
lar, but we are grateful for any sum,
however small"
John" said Clint, with an air of
authority, "give the young lady two
dollars out of the drawer
And John, of course, had to fork out.

the use of the balloon, there is tre-
mendous appeal in the great sweep to
the east and north, which has its like
nowhere else in the civilized world.
On the day after Captain Mueller made
his trip from Los Angeles across the
Colorado desert and river into Arizona,
there were conditions on the weather
map for an aerial jump across the
mountains and into or beyond the Mis-
sissippi valley which could not have
been more enticing to an aeronaut if
he had found placed in his hands the
actual making of the weather. In adj
dition to the call of the winds, there
is the fascinating thought of conquer
ing great frowning mountain ranges
and long stretches of desert eager to
claim their dead-and of doing all in a
day or so, without waiting on the
laboriously laid winding ribbon of track
and the monster locomotives.

Fact. About Nreer.chaum.

frum the Chic7gO News
Meerschaum Is hydrated sficate OF
magnesia, appearing as an Opaque earthly
mineral white. grayish. or yeIlowfsh
compact in texture and breaking with a
IconchoiGsI or fine earthly fracture Most
Of II comes from Asia Minor. especially
from the plains OF Eskischehr. where it
occurs in nodular masses Of variable size
and irregular shape. distributed through
the alIuvial deposits Of the plain, which
are systematically worked for the extrac-
tiion by means OF pits and galleries.
Meerschaum is found also, but less
labundantly. in Greece and in some Of the
Grecian islands. at Hrubschitz. in Mora
via. where it occurs in a serpentinous
when soft and fresh as a substitute for
soap: while a coarse variety is found at
VaIlecas. near Madrid. and is employed
as building stone. Meerschaum also oc-
ours in South Carolina
Almost the whole of the worlds supply
Of meerschaum comes from the district
Of Eskischehr. in Asia Minor.
Mining is done IN a primitive fashion.
and precautions for safety are unknown
although accidents occur from time to
tine. A group Of three to fifteen work
men work together 10 dig a shaft about
one meter in diameter. and no props are
fixed until they reach, at a depth of twen-
y 20 forty, and even sixty meters, the
bed OF red clay. under or IN which the
meerschaum Is found mixed with serpen-
tine in the form Of irregular pieces from
the size Of a hazel nut to that Of an
apple
These pieces are often extracted with
great difficulty after making long galleries
IN the red clay In many places the earth
is mined in such a way that the galleries
OF several different excavations are con-
fused The work IS carried on day and
night. the workings being lighted by
means Of oil lamps.
The meerschaum is not sold by weight
but by, the case OF box. After the pur-
chase the meerschaum. which IS damp.
heavy, and Of yellowish color. is set
TO dry in the sun IN summer time. and-in
the winter for about nine days in drying
oven, heated day and night
The product loses about ttro-thirds Of
its weight IN the drying and becomes
snow white. Afterward it is rubbed with
flannel. moistened with warm water. any
roughness Is removed with a knife, the
hollows are cleaned with sand, and final
iy the pieces are polished with wax. In
this condition the naeerscheu1n is sent to
market

FOE the Rich1-ond News Leader
Nothing IS more conclusive evidence OF
Mr.. Bryan's great power and fitHess than
the fact that the Republican party. TO
hope for future control. has been COM
PEELED 20 make most pronounced IN its
platform the policies which have been
distinctly those advocated by the Demo-
cratic nominee and his party. The de-
mand for the revision OF the tarih. the
war against trusts OF a monopolistic
character. railway regulation, and cur
rency reform have been the cardinal
planks Of Democratic platforms Their
adoption by the Republican party has
been proof Of the wisdom OF him who
has stood for them unfaulteringly IN the
past
Not all the Democratic leaders were
for Mr- Bryan prior TO the convention
But now that the party has chosen him
as its Presidential candidate. It behOOves
all who favor Democratic principles and
policies TO stand sOlidly by their great
leader and champion.
