Andree Holds One Record

THE longest balloon voyage made, as far
known. was that of the lamented Andree, whose
i'll advised attempt sail to the North Pole in a
balloon met with tragic an ending. The ascen-
sion made on July II, 1907. at two-thrty P. NJ
Some days later there recovered carrier pigeon
bearing message dated July IS at twelve-thirty,
announcing that all well.
This that forty-sx hours after the start the
balloon still we'll up in the air and going forward
The catastrophe, however, probably came shortly
after that; since according to arrangements made
before the start Andree to release pigeons and
throw out buoys at short intervals. A number OF
messages received dated at various times be-
tween his departure and the thirteenth at twelve
thirty but none of later date.
This voyage, though the longest known, is for
obvious reasons not accepted official record.

NEW STATIONS
 F0R TERRITORY
NORTHERN PART OF ARIZONA TO HAVE EXTENDED WEATHER
 SERVICE, ACCORDING TO IN sPECToR OF WEATHER BUREAU.

PRESCOTT, September l.-L. NJ. Jesunofsky, inspector of the weather bureau service, passed through here last night on his way home to Phoenix after an extended official tour, embracing all the principal points of Northern Ari- zona, from Wickenburg to the Grand Canyon.
 Jesunofsky says that he will soon have stations all over northernA rizona where correct records of the rain and snow falls will be reported and kept. He also intends to establish stations to find the flow of the different rivers and streams at all seasons. The department, according to his statement, is paying special attention to the latter as numer- ous inquiries are received daily con. ,erning the agricultural and grazing possibilities and conditions of the terri cory. With such data gathered, he says, farmers will settle in the Big Chino, Lit tie Chino and other valleys of the north and develop water resources, which he is confident will prove sufficient to jus tify the cultivation of these immense tracts of land on a large scale.

TRIBAL LOSSES
 HEAVY 0N SALTON
INDIANS ON THE GREAT INLAND SEA HAVE BEEN DIsPossEssED or HOMES THEY HELD FOR MANY GENERATIONS.

TUCSON, Sept. l,-Captain J, Razor was in town this week from his settle ment on the southwest borders of the Salton sea, with a pathetic story of their tribal loss, which has come about through the eneroachments of the in land waters. For months the Indians have been dispOssessed of the homes where for generations their tribe has dwelt, and now are determined to seek redress from the government if possible.
 "We have borne our severe loss with silence, but now we speak off the first time, and the good people will hear what We have to say and our Father in Washington will see that we are not allowed to suffer any more. All our homes are buried under the waters, even the tops of our fig trees are not seen any more, and the fishes play among the branches. ''
 This is a literal fact. For ages these Indians have lived on the banks of the Salton basin, their folk lore indicating that once the sea was permanent feature but it had not molested the agricultural inclination of the tribes men, who set out groves of figs, and other trees, and in late periods planted the vine.
 But now the scene of their activities is completely inundated, and they have been living for two years in a hap. hazard sort of way, hoping for the waters to recede, when they might re- cover their lands.

MEN IN AMBUSH
 FIRE PISTOL SHOTS
w. E. SLIM, ATTACKED IN BISBEE, IMMEDIATELY RETURNS FIRE AssAILANTs MAKE GOOD THEIR ESCAPE.

BISBEE, September 1.-W. F.. Slim, foreman of the F.. F. Everhardy slaugh- ter house, was rudely awakened from an early morning reverie yesterday by the bark of couple of revolvers and the swish of two bullets in close prox- imity to his head. With ready reel prOcity, Slim returned in kind the salu- tation with Winchester, and the firing abruptly ceased. The night was dark, and no killed and wounded list result ed from the exchange of fire.
 Slim was just below Warren on his way to the slaughter house, and was followed at a distance of about seven ty-fve yards by E. F. Everhardy and Frank Tierney. The two latter saw the first two shots, both of which occurred at the same time, as though fired at a signal. The men in hiding were lying behind an embankment. Everhardy and Tierney immediately rode towards Slim, who had returned the fire.
 This closed the incident. The men in hiding did not come out, and the man shot at and his two companions made no search for them. It was early in the morning and very dark.
 Slim stated yesterday that he had ab- soutely no idea as to the identity of his assailants, nor could he imagine a motive for such cowardly attack on him. No words were spoken on either side. Just an exchange of shots and then silence The officers were notified, but have no clue as to the identity of the men who were in ambush

Sees End in Resignation.

''Instead, We have the overpowering dominant presence about Us at all times of thought waves, all charged with the conviction that death is natural con- sequence, that it must occur. And death, thus reinforced by the subconsei- ous resignation in many minds, steps in and conquers the feeble will of an in- dividual who battles unsuccessfully against millions of combined minds stronger than his own.
 ''I have never known, when the whole worlds mind was on somebody, that person to get well when the i'm. pression was that he was going to die.
 "My wife died three weeks before the world knew of it. She was. stone dead, corpse, her body was cold I felt her pulseless wrists and cried out to God to spare me such a blow. She was my all, my life. Our hearts, souls and minds had been welded as one for years. l prayed that she might return to me, and my prayers were answered. She did return to life and asked me "Hg hit oBe hdN after she died the first time she told friend of mine who called: "When I get stroger I will have many wonderful and beautiful things to tell you about.
 Wife Failed to Live On.
 But she didn t get stronger, each hour of life was a protest, her mental resistance made it difficult to prolong her existence, and reluctantly we aban- doned the plan.'
 Bishop Sabin relates many instances of prayer and faith healing to sub stantiate his claims to the efficacy of Christian Science. He fails to see the justice of that portion of the public who would criticize the death of any patient who dies under Christian Sci, ence treatment, and yet would view as matter of course the death of fifty patients under the treatment of medical practitioners.

MAN CAN LIVE FOREVER CLAIM
 OF BISHOP SABIN.
Washington Prelate Declares if All the World Should Agree to Think There is No Death, None
 Would Die

WASHINGTON, Sept. 0.--''Death is a man-made condition; the control of mind over matter is so supreme that death can be indefinitely postponed. We die simply through resignation. By ex. ercising will power we can live"
 This is the teaching of Bishop Oliver c. Sabin of the Evangelistie Christian church of this city.
 eff every one at certain hour should resolve hereafter to believe ex- plicitly there was no such thing as death; that We might all live as long as the world so believed, the limit of human life would increase in proportion to the strength with which this convie tion spread and death wolud ultimately be vanquished," /" claims the Bishop. ..
 Says Man Reduces Life.
 "From the foundation of the world, {" continued the Bishop, "man has by his own acts and through his own fault, has been reducing the life limit. In the old en days we read in the Bible that man lived to be 600 800 and l ,000 years of age, approximately. Fast living, sub ordinate mentality and resignation to death at any time it might show indi- cations of approach, gradually reduced man s life to about B years at the time of Christ.
 ''We have grown to accept what comes today. The centenarian is marvel whereas he might be common place. Man has no one but himself to blame. If the people of this world, or even the vast majority of them, would for once become convinced that death was unnecessary, that it was created by man; that by the universal concentra- tion of our minds upon the determine. tion to live, we may continue to live. deaths overthrow would be easy and one might just as easily live 1000 as fifty.

LINCOLN (Neb.), Nov. 6.-As to
New York, charges reached Bryan to-
day that Boss Murphy had sold Bryan
out in order to secure the election of
his ticket next fall; that Murphy had
made deal with the Republicans
whereby the Tammany mayorality
ticket was assured of election next
year.
Having received bigger total vote
than he ever got before, Bryan pro-
poses to use it as a lever and go to
Washington, putting his proposed re-
forms up to congress one by one. He
will continue to advocate them in
speeches and lectures. But he will
issue a statement probably in few
weeks declaring that he never will
run again for president In the fu-
ture he will spend his time writing
and talking for his reforms, devoting
a great deal of his time in advocating
legislation at Washington.
