SWISS AERONAUTS
RESCUED FROM SEA
HelVetla Makes Best Flight In
Berlin Contest.

Berlin, Oct. 15.-Only one OF the %
balloons which started in the race
for the international trophy Sunday
from Schmargendorf Is unaccountsd
for. This Is the German balloon Bus
ley, under the command OF DIR. Me
meyer. with Hans Hiedemann as as
sistant. Dispatches received here
Spanish contestant, Castillo, drApped
Into the ocean six miles north of He'll
goland and that the navigators. Mon.
toto and Robero, were rescued by
fishermen. A dispatch was received
from Node, Norway, telling of the
descent Of the Swiss balloon Helvetia
to the ocean and the rescue OF Col
onel Setback and E. Mesnser.
Mode is only so miles southwest of
Christiansand, and to reach this point
the Helvetia must have travelled
about 1880 kilometers, or IT'S miles
In direct line. and must have trav-
eled over the Skagerack or the still
greater body Of the North sea. This
is by far the greatest distance yet re-
ported to the credit Of any Of the con-
testants, the majority of whom either
took somewhat circular course or
were compelled to descend on account
Of their proximity to water.
The Helvetia Is the fifth balloon
among the international contestants
to come to grief; the Conquerox and
the Montanes burst at a high altitude
and the Saint Louis and Castillo were
wrecked in the North sea. Although
no casualties followed these disasters,
the escape of the men who were in
the unfortunate balloons was almost
miraculous.

This year K. W. G. will be repre-
sented in the State OratoIical con-
tets Last year it was not among
the contestants but already the best
men in the school are at work on
their articles. A preliminary con-
test will be held in December ana
the successful contestant will repre-
sent the College at the annual con-
test in April.
1t is six years since K. W. G. has
won a contest, and. the men feel
that it ought to come to them
again.

the Cincinnati Enquirer, it would
seem that harris is running ahead
of Taft in the State. A poll is un-
certain, at t1sbest. But the local
troubles. have cast confusion in the
ranks OF the Republican party in
Ohio.
In Missouri, the old Democratic
machine is fighting the election of
Governor Folk to the Senate and
this has split the party in two. Lo-
cal issue again predominant in that
State.
In Indiana, the presidential fight
has been almost forgotten in the
fierce contest over the liquor ques-
ton. Both parties are divided.
In New York State, the bitter OPP
position of the machine politicians
to the denomination of Governor
Hughes tore up the party. His re-
nomination probably helped the
National ticket throughout the
country. But the effect in New
York is problematical. The State
race entirely overshadows the Pres
Dental.
So in Illinois, New Jersey, Con-
necticut, Tennessee and West Vir-
ginia, local issues are cutting deep.

TRADE AT HOME.

We call the particular attention
of our home people to an extract
from an editorial in the Lexington
Herald, published in our issue of
Wednesday. Among other things
the Herald said:
Patronize Home Merchants.
1.-THE business community can
afford to be broad and liberal, but
there are certain things in which
Lexington bus ness men should
stand together for Lexington first,
last, and all the time. We should
strive to keep as much of the Lex
ington trade at home as possible.
80 We should practice as well as
preach the patronage of home in
dustIies.''
So In Winchester, we should all
patIonize our home merchants.
The merchants carry as varied a
stock as do the Lexington stores.
In clothes, hardware, dry goods and
other things, our local firms sell
the same goods as cheap and in
many cases cheaper than the Lex
lngton merchants. We are far het-
ter in this regard than many other
towns of the Blue Grass. Still.
there is far too much trading in
Lexington. Let us keep our money
at home.
And, again, some hundreds of
Lexington papers come into Win
chester and Clark county every
day. They are full of Lexington
advertisement. They are read in
the homes of our people. The Win
chester merchant does not appear
in their columns.
The News gives our local mer-
chants the chance to tell about their
wares in the homes of the city and
county. 1t gives the merchant the
only opportunity he has to get be-
! fore the people as frequently and
'fas effuctually as do the Lexington
firms. The local man who wants
ito keep in the race, who wants to
extend his business should not fail
to advertise in the home paper.

months. Twelve of the stolen rigs, all
re-painted, were found In stable at
Central avenue, Brooklyn. Nearly

TAFT SIZES UP
THE SITUATION
Completes Three-day Campaign In
Ohio and Has no Fears
For State.

Wheeling, w. Va, Oct 15.-Judge
Taft has concluded his threeday cam
paign in Ohio. What he thinks of the
situation is set forth in the following
statement:
Il have now spent three days in the
state of Ohio, much of the time In in
dustrial and labor centers among men
who, 1t was reported, were disaffected
and opposed. to the Republican party
and its candidates. Wherever |
appeared was cordially received and
only an occasional interruption indi-
Gated that misrepresentation of the
attitude Of the party and the candi-
dates had made a casual impression.
II is my opinion that the attitude of
labor toward the Republican party has
been misrepresented quite as freely as
that of the party and the candidate
toward labor, and I find no reason for
the belief that labor will divide other
than on the lines that have hereto
fore divided 1t. In my opinion, the
normal Republican labor vote will be
cast as heretofore
I'm the agricultural regions It Is
quite apparent that the farmers are
opposed to a change that will imperil
their present prosperity.
THE situation in Ohio is entirely
satisfactory, and no one has any
reasonable doubt but that the Repub-
lican majority will be a substantial
one. 1 certainly have no doubt on the
subject myself"
Steubenville and Wheeling furnished
the big audiences Of the day; although
at each of the nine stops there were
crowds and enthusiasm Steubenville
made much of the candidate. He con-
stituted the chief attraction in a
lengthy parade which marched through
the streets for half an hour. After
the parade an open air meeting was
held opposite the court house. Many
thousands of people participated In the
celebration.
The central market house was
cleared at Wheeling and there the
candidate addressed an immense,
audience representing labor, and to
whom he made his labor speech in
full. From the market house Mr..
Taft was taken to the old Baltimore
and Ohio station which had been tenn
porarily abandoned by the railroad
Here a business mems meeting was
held. participated in by many thous-
ands of persons.
During the day the candidate ira
versed the great pottery region Of
Ohio and at Cadiz made his talk to
farmers in the center of the wool
growing district. It was just dusk
when Judge Taft left his home state
and pulled across the Ohio river to
West Virginia. He mad spoken in his
own state during the day at Wellsville,
Empire. Mingo Junction, Cadiz, Steu-
benville, Martins Ferry Bridgeport
and Bellaire

WEDDINGS!

The prospective bride looks
for a token. If you were in
her place, you would. At any
rate, it is customary to hand
her a little remembrance.
You might as we'll satisfy
this customary habit. It won't
cost you much. Pick out
some little trinket in sterling
silver. Any of them make
highly appreciative little re-
membranes.
We don't know just why,
but many of our patrons are
buying silver engagement re-
membranes.

CON GRESS ADJOURNS.

The first session of the Goth Congress
adjourned on Saturday, May so. For
its liberal appropriations it has only
been excelled by one or Aso of its pre-
decessors. The appropriations excel
the billion dark mark.
Having made record of extrava-
gance unmatched in American history,
the first session of the Sixtieth Con-
gress ended Saturday, May 80 The
Republicans will go home full of fears
and miseivings, the Democrats aggres-
sive and hopeful.
The Republicans know the record
they have made i'll Congress this ses-
sion is one of the most discreditabls in
the history of the party They have
done those things they should not have
done and they have left undone those
things they should have done. They
have rseklessly aud shamelesslyswelled
the fixed annual burden of the people
by increases in appropriations all along
the line. They have added $l7,0O0,0 600
TO the already enormous pensioncharge,
swelling the total to Sl6S, 900, 600. They
have put about 4, 200 new names on the
pension rolls by special bills. They
have given increased pay to officers
and enlisted men. They have in
creased the salaries of various Govern
ment officials and they have created
new officers with fat pay attached.
Aud all these additions TO the per-
msuent annual tax burden of the
people have been made in the fa,e of
failing revenues that are rapidly Great
ing alarming deficit in the Treasury
and At time when the general bus.

ious depression aud hundreds of thous-
ands of workmsn are idle and appeal
ing TO charity organizations for the
necessaries of life for themselves and
their families.
Altogether the total appropriations
for the sessions will break all records.
The final figures are not Yet obtainsble
in detail, but they will run over a bill
lion dollars. The aggregate of the var
ious bills passed at the session will be
approximately 1855. 100000, But this
does not represent the total drain on
the Treasury for the next fiscal year.
That will oeswelled by shout $l54, 000.-
600, representing expenditures autno-
rized by previous sessions but which
has been made available at this session.
This gives grand total ofthe expenses

year of 81 OPS, coo, 600.
But the extravaganza of the session is
hardly as discreditable to the Republic

VISIT OF THE GOOD ROADS
COMMISSION.

The visit to-day to Frederick Of the
Good Roads Commission, with Govtr
nor Crothers at the helm, is most sig
nificent one and it should mean much
to the county in the way of improving
our public highways. In the counties
so far visited, great results have been
obtained, as far as deciding on routes,
ETC., is concerned. This is the most i'm
portant point of course, and next comes
that of taking over certain turnpikes'
if such be required in the general
scheme fixed for our county. The COM
mission are empowered TO do this, If
they see fit Frederick county has
mileage of 500 and her share of the
81, 100000 to be used for road purposes
will be about 1926. 900 Such an enor-
nous sum must be judiciously expend-
ed for the greatest good to the greatest
number and it is to find out the senti-
ment of our people that the commission
is coming to-day to talk with our people
aud get some idea what is the hest
thing to do. Let all reason together
and keep out petty matters which
might serve to becloud the real issue.
Personalities must have no place in the
conference and all should join in the
one mighty idea of road building and
Improvement.
The total mileage of the State is 15,-
73S and the amount that could be ex-
pended per mile is about 1854. Balti-
more City will get Sl,0O0,0O0 for road
improvement in the suburbs, leaving
$4,000,0O0 for the rest of the State.
This sum is to be distributed in proper
ton among the several counties accord
ing to the mileage of each. On q total
basis of 5,000,o00, if the sum of So, DOC
was expended per mile, the State could
build one tenth of the total mileage
If $1,000 was decided upon as the cost
per mile of good road, then only one
fifteenth of the total mileage could be
built.
The lower counties have turned to 8
highway passing through the entire
width or length aud connecting with 8
similar thoroughfsre in the adjoining
one.
Conditions may be different here anC
it might be deemed necessary to con
struct arteries, instead of the main high
way, which is now we'll supplied b,
turnpikss. tits a question which Needs
sill the attention that can be given to i
by those well qualified.
The dawn of new era is here and ",
should all be up and eager to grasp tn
chance. The cry for good roads his
gone up from our midst for years ant
at last a positive chance coufronts us
Let us take advantage Of every detail
and do all we can to help along tn
good work so ably directed by our Chic
Executive, and the Good Road Com
mission.
