The Great Nebraskan Replies
Sharply to the Critics Of the
Brilliant Missouri Senator.

Columbia (No) Statesman, Sept II, 1906.
For some years the St. Louis Globe
Democrat, the Post Dispatch and
the Kansas City Star have conduct.
ed an unending fight on Senator
Stone, and have accused him OF ev-
erything under the sun. Ia his suit
against the old Kansas City Times,
a long reply was made, alleging that
Ne had In fact never paid the money
and divers other things, and yet, In
the end, 1t waived it's long list OF
charges and paid almost the entire
amount OF money sued for, showing
that it's reply had been intended
merely to prejudice thepublic against
the former Governor. Time and
again has Senator Stone defled bis
enemies and demanded the proof Of
their scurrilous attacks, and their
only answer has been to attack him
still more viciously. As q matter OF
Il ct, no man In Missouri has fought
the corporations more increasingly
than Stone; way back yonder In 1895
he earned the undying hatred OF the
railroads BY urging on special ses-
sion Of the Missouri Legislature the
passage OF the iellow.servant bill,
which was 80 bitterly fought BY the
combined corporate interests Of the

DEFENDS AMERICAN WOMEN.
Cardinal Gibbons Says Only a Few
Can Be Charged With ldIeness.

Cardinal Gibbons, head of the Ro-
man Catholic church in the United
States, in an interview published
in New York, made what might be
called a corrective reply to DR.. An.
drew McPhail, who in an article pub
lished in a London paper recently was
quoted as declaring that American wo-
men are idle and unhappy.

and limited number" said his emf.

of whom have neither religious prin.

fortunes merely for the qualification
of their passionc. But also there is

that lives quietly and virtuously.
Against them and against our middle
and poorer classes the charge of idle.

Cardinal Gibbons went on to say
that the foreign critic of America gets
a distorted view OF American life
from the scandals and divorces he
reads of in the newspapers, never
seeming to be aware of the fact OF
million happy homes which never get
into print.

MAD BULL CORES
MAN TO DEATH.
Stock Tender at Hers Island
Tossed and TrampIed.

Pittsburg, Oct. 13.-Gored and tram
pied by ferocious bull which he had
been feeding in the Herrs Island
stockyards Joseph Peindel, aged so,
of 116 Shoots street. Millvale, died in
St. Francis hospital Sunday morning.
Peindel was injured by the mad
dened beast last Friday morning. He
had finished feeding and watering
some stock and was about to leave
the pen when the bull rushed at him.
Peindel attempted to reach the gate,
but was gored and crushed against the
fence.
Rendered unconscious by the first
attack Peindel fell to the ground. The
bull then began tossing him on its
horns. The believing of the animal
attracted several other stock tenders
and when they reached the pen the
bull was tramping Peindel.
Efforts were made to drive the
beast away from its victim. Finally
dozen rife bullets were fired into the
animal and it was not until It fell
dead that Peindel could be rescued.
The injured man, his entire body torn
and bleeding, was hurried to the hos
pital, but he died without regaining
consciousness.

STEWART TO BE RETIRED.
Army Beard Finds He Is Suffering
From Heart Disease.

The army retiring board which
has been investigating at Washing
ton the condition of the health OF
Colonel William F. Stewart, the so.
called Fort Grant exile, concluded its
work, and II is understood that the
board found Colonel Stewart to be so
seriously afflicted with yalvular dis
ease of the heart as to incapacitate
him from active service in the army.
The board heard a statement by Col
onel Stewart relative to his record In
the army and listened to brief argu.
ments by Colonel Stewards counsel,
and Recorder Howand, who spoke for
the service
"Why do you wish to continue In
the service?' WIS asked by the col
oners lawyer,
Because | have spent my life In
the army and am fond of the service"
was the answer
Captain Howlund in arguing the
case contended that there was but one
issue before the board and that was
whether Colonel Stewart is now so af-
fected by heart disease as to be in
capable of performing his duties as an
officer in the army.

American-built craft in the contest,
having on board A. Holland Forbes
and Augustus Post, less than two
minutes after the start burst at an al
titude of 1000 feet.
For 1000 feet it shot down like a
ballet, and then the silk assumed the
shape of a parachute and the rapidity
Of the descent was checked. Coming
close to the earth, however, the bas.

but the two men escaped with but
slight injuries.
The race, in which twenty-three bal
looms participated, representing Great
Britain, France, Germany the United
States. Switzerland, Italy, Belgium
and Spain, started at o'clock Sun
day afternoon in the presence of at
least 10000 spectators.
The second batch Of eight balloons
was led by Forbes in the Conqueror
which was started with some Difficult
ty owing to a gust of wind and too
much ballast. But eventually it shot
up and reached a high altitude in an
Incredibly short period, the basket
swaying violently. Then almost in
Stantly cry of horror arose from the
crowd, which saw the silk collapse
and shouted "The balloon is ripping
up"
The spectators stood for a moment
petrified some turned away fainting
as they saw the balloon falling with
lightning like rapidity. At the same
time showers of sand and appurten-
ances of the balloon shot downward
and then daylight was seen through
the envelope, great ragged edges of
the silk showing on either side.
"They are killed" ran through the
crowd, but shortly the remainder of
the envelope appeared to take at first
a triangular shape and then was trans
formed into a sort of parachute at
the top of the net and the progress of
the wrecked balloon was considerably
arrested.
1t came down slower and slower,
meanwhile being swept by the wind
far to the southeast, and finally dis
appeared from view behind block of
houses.
The suspense among the crowds
was terrible But few minutes Ia
ter telephone message was received
from Friedman, which announced that
the men had landed and had not been
seriously injured. The other balloons
were sent up, after a brief delay, with
