TEN-MILE TRIP IN BALLOON
baldwin DirigfbIe Makes Sue
cessfu1 Ascension at 81.
Joaeph.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo, Sept. 19.-The Baldwin
diriglble war balloon made another ascent
at the military tournament grounds in
South st. Joseph this afternoon, rising at
500 and descending at 5:2I.
The balloon was manned by Lieutenant
Foulois and Sergeant Ward, as on yester-
day, and the trial was without mishap. A
distance OF six miles, at a height of 800
feet, was covered.
The trim was one of the most successful
ever made in the Baldwin dirigible. Lieu
tenant Foulois, after computing the time
said that the craft was in the air p min
utes and 10 seconds, and he estimated that
the distance travelled at a fraction more
than ten miles.
The route taken by the balloon was the
one that Lieutenant Foulois had mapped
out beforehand.
After circling about for a minute over
the balloon grounds, Sergeant Ward headed
the craft towards Lake Contrary. At this
time the gas bag was only at an elevation
/ Of about 100 feet. 1t gradually assembled.
however, until it reached a heigh of about
200 feet. The strong wind caused the sky
boat to drift south and by the time It
reached Lake Contrary It was over the
extreme south end of that body of water.
| Sergeant Ward then turned the craft so
that It followed the bank of the lake. This
the boat did, remaining about 200 feet in
the air and completely encircling the lake.
On the return the airship passed directly
over Camp Peabody, where about 5000 SOL
diers are encamped. AS the airship hove
in view the boys in khaki burst into cheers
that welled up into one big roar. The two
officers in the airship responded by waving
their hats.
Continuing on their flight, Lieutenant
Flouois and Sergeant Ward passed over
] Hyde Park, a st. Joseph suburb, at a point
several blocks below the balloon grounds.
Turning again, the officers in the ship
passed over the balloon grounds, Lleuten-
ant Foulois arising in his seat and signal
ing the soldiers TO be ready for the landing.
The skyboat swerved for the balloon
grounds. The alrship was lowered to about
fifty feet above ground and Sergeant Ward
threw out the rope. After a few minutes
chasing the soldiers caught 1t, Lieutenant
Foulois shut off power and the balloon
was pulled down.

CATTLE-There were no cattle of any
consequence today and 1t was praeticaiIy
concerned. For the week the receipts foot
up 1913 head, as against a total last week

a gain over the corresponding week of last
have consisted almost entirely Of range
cattle, with a comparatively light sprlnk-
ling Of %cornfeds and native grassers.
The market on cornfed steers has been
very unsatisfactory all the week. While
packers have apparently had use for a
few loads of well-finished beeves the de-
mand has been light, with almost no call
whatever for the medium to pretty decent
kinds. Moreover it was practically impos-
fat kinds, packers invariably preferring
western grassers. The same condition OF
affairs has prevailed to a greater or less
extent at all market points. cornfed cattle
everywhere being very duh and unsatis-
factory sellers.
Range beeves. in spite of the fact that
freely all the week, but at decidedly lower
prices. The best Arades, such as both pack
generally quoted about 25c lower than last
week, but outside OF that the market Is

most decline, being a good big soc lower
Cows and helters have been in very lib
eral receipt all the week and have in con-
sequence felt the full force of the decline.
While some of the more desirable kinds are
possibly not over soc lower. a good share
of the she stock could safely be quoted
40a50c lower than last weeks close. While
the trade was rather dull during the week,
owing largely to the fact that there were
so many cattle on sale and a good deal OF
time was necessarily consumed In getting
ready to show the cattle, still receipts were
pretty well cleaned up every day.
Strictly good heavy dehorned feeders were
good sellers all the week and at the close
are not to exceed 15925c lower than last
week. On the other hand the general run
of feeding cattle, especially the common
to medium grades and all kinds of trashy
stuff, are around 40q50c lower. Stock heif-
ers sold off fully &c.
