Columbus, o. - Lewis Strang's
big balloon, the Queen Louise,
Lieut.. Bennett of Canada, pilot, and

20 miles from land. The trip was

keep afloat, The vessel Mohegan
rescued the men. The Queen Louise

Lake Erie Saturday at midnight after
going over Lima, Cleveland and De-

Difficulty with the valve prevented
the men from landing the balloon and
1t sailed out over the lake in spite of

nearly five miles and were scarcely
able to breathe. Then they suddenly

HlSGEN HEARS ABOUT 1T.
independence League Candidate for
President Is Notified of His
Nomination.

New York City.-There was not
room enough in the new club house
of the Independence league to hold
the large crowd that gathered Mon
day night for the dual purpose of be-
Ing present at the notification of
Thomas l.. Hisgen, Independence par
ty candidate for president, and the
house warming with which it had
been the intention to show the gath
cred party leaders the new club quar-
ters, but as every inch of the room
in the little building in Waverly
place was occupied, this was almost
impossible.
William r. Hearst and Mr.. Hisgen
entered the club house shortly after
9 o'clock and were greeted by an out
burst of cheering. Hisgen was en-
Enthusiastically referred to as "the trust
buster" and "our next president"
These titles brought forth more cheer
ing.
Many inquiries were made for John
Temple Graves, the party candidate
for vice president. 1t had been orig
lhally Planned TO have Mr.. Hisgen
and Mr.. Graves notified at the same
time, but on account of the poor
health of Mr.. Graves this plan was
abandoned. Mr.. Graves was not pres
ent.
After stating that he regarded his
nomination as call to public serv-
Ice, Thomas l.. Hisgen In his speech
of acceptance, went right into the
main issues of the campaign and gave
vigorous outline of the principles
he stands for. He declared 1t was
necessary to organize a new party to
bring about needed reforms, and so
the Independence party came into ex-
istence. The candidate asserted that
the present division of the reform
elements had permitted the control
of the government to slip from the
hands of the people into the hands
of machine politicians.

1t is not generally known that tho
imperial family of Russia is the rich
est royal family in Europe, and de-
rives its vast wealth from three
sources-the state treasury, the i'm
perial domains formerly church
lands), and the so-called cabinet
properties" writer in Harper'S
Weekly gives some interesting facts,
The state treasury pays out ~ ,oo0, ,oef
per annum for the needs of the i'm
perial house, principally for the main
tenance of the palaces and the officials
and servants attached to them. The
reigning empress. for example. has
an allowance of 100000 per year. and
the dowager empress the same. Every
child born to the czar receives from
birth to the age of 81 nearly $4,000
a year, while the heir to the throne
receives annually. in addition to the
maintenance of palaces, $4,000.
Daughters receive a dowry of one
million rubles when they marry.

entered the reception room. With the
president were Mrs. Roosevelt and
their son, Kermit. Commissioner Sui

beamed all over when the president
assured him that it was "bully vic
tory" which he and the boys had won
in London.
Tewanina, the Indian, who came in
ninth in the Marathon race, pleased
the president immensely. Il am glad,
indeed" he said to him, that real

America and represented the country
abroad. 1t was fine showing that
you made"
When the last man had been
grasped by the hand and he had
passed into the dining room and par.

checked an effort to repeat the cheers
and addressed the athletes

runner, presented the president with
theirl medals. MsR s5elt pro

After the refreshments and the
speech of the president, all hands
went out on the veranda and, grouped
about Mr.. Roosevelt, they had theil
picture taken.

ligan, pastor of the First Presbyterian
church and well known in the state
both as minister and golf player,

shotgun Friday. Coroner March stated
that an inquest would be held. He

circumstances. Neighbors attracted
to the home think the death an acci-
dent. The maid at the house said
Milligan had been working with the
gun all morning. His family was
away.
