FOUR KILLED AS
BALLOON BURSTS
FRENCH ARMY OFFICERS Gaia
Pulled TO EARTH FROM
DIRIGIBLE CRAFT.
GREAT GAS BAG EXPL0DES
Victims Have No Chance for Their
Lives When the Envelope Sud-
denly Bursts High In
the Air.

Moulin, France.-While thousands
of persons were cheering enthusias-
tically the flight of the French dirigi-
BILE military balloon Republique, the
great gas bag collapsed suddenly, and
the four men aboard were dashed to
death. The balloon itself was rent
to tatters and went hurting from an
altitude of between 500 and 600 feet
to the ground, crushing the victims In
frightful manner.
The big balloon was in charge of
Capt. Marchal. The other occupants
were Lieut.. Phaure and Sub-Lieuts.
Vincenot and Reux.
The Republique had been engaged
In the recent army maneuvers at La
Palisse. She left there at seven o'clock
in the morning and was going at high
speed five miles from Moulins when
the accident happened
It was the intention of Capt. Mar
chal to stop at Nevers, and an automo-
bile containing mechanicians was fol-
lowing the balloon. 1t was almost
directly beneath it when the disaster
occurred. The car fell straight down,
carrying the fluttering remnants of
the envelope and the occupants were
buried beneath the wreckage. All
were dead except Lieut. Phaure, but
he lived only few minutes after be-
ing removed. The bodies were taken
to the Chateau d'Avrilly, the property
of Marquis de Charannes.
Lieut.. Tixier, in command of the au.
tomobile, says the balloon suddenly
burst and collapsed. 1t seemed to
oscillate violently moment before
this, Az though it had been struck,
and fell with the rapidity of a stone.
When he reached the wreckage the
car was completely covered with the
envelope, and rot sound came from
beneath.
With the aid of Marquis de Chav-
annes and peasants who hurried from
surrounding fields, the envelope was
removed. The spectacle was appall-
ing. The car had been literally
crushed, and amid the mass of tan.

The Envelope Was Removed.

gled steel and wire every man except
Pheure could be seen at his post.
Capt Marschal was in a sitting pos
ture, his body thrown back. His skull
was crushed. The bodies of the sub
lieutenants lay mangled beneath the
cylinder of the motor. Phaure's body
was lying half outside, as If he had
tried to jump during the descent. APP
parently death in the case of the
three had been instantaneous.
An examination Of the airship dis
closed the cause of the accident. The
axle of the right propeller had broken
and the propeller has passed through
the envelope, falling in field about
$50 yards away.
The Republique, belonging to the
French war department., made her mi
tial flight at scissors June "a, 1908.
On that occasion the dirigible carried
a cargo of $500 pounds, including the
crew, and remained in the air 30
minutes. Early in September the Re-
publique was seriously damaged in a
windstorm at Nevers, France, on her
way to Meudon, where 1t was intend.

Art in Conversation.

truly reticent woman-the woman
who makes reticence an arts not at
all silent. She talks with what is ap-
parently the greatest candor, so that
people go away from her saying what

phenomenally clever, that the genial

GEORGE 4. CUSTER.

George Armstrong Custer, the i'm
in the history of the conquest of
America from the redskins, was born
in New Rumley, O., seventy years ago.
With his command of more than a
thousand men, he persisted in the bat
tie Of the Little Big Horn, in Mon
tana. The attacking army of the Sioux
was composed of nearly 5000 war
riors, and Custer and his heroic band
were overpowered by force of num-
bers, and bravely died fighting to the
last
1t is only as history adjusts itself
that the life and services of such a
man as General Custer are fully I'M
derstood and recognized. He did much
toward the opening of a vast terri
tory to civilization, won victories
which cleared the way for the march
Of progress and made possible the eX-
istence of many prosperous communi-
ties.
AS a cavalry leader he was the
"Murat Of the American army" but
still more renown is due him for his
mastery campaigns against the Sioux
and Cheyennes, where he overthrow
the traditions of a lifetime of training
and adapted himself to the tactics of
the woods and the plain, as practised
by savage foes.
From his youth Custer was imbued
with the spirit of the soldier. He read
romances Of war and adventure as
school boy, and he had hardy reach
ed his teens when he determined to en-
ter West Point He was soldier by
inheritance, and strangely enough,

ives descended from Hessian who
fought against the colonists in the
American revolution.
After the war the ancestor of the
American branch, who bore the name
of Kuster, settled in Pennsylvania.
The name took the fern of Custer in
later years and the descendants of the
Hession soldier became pioneers on
the Ohio frontier The father of Cen
eral Custer was straightforward,
hard working farmer, and did the
best he could to give his six children
instruction. In the public school and
the academy young Custer acquired
the groundwork for his education.
He was graduated from the United
States military academy in 1861, and
reported at once to Washington. He
was made a second lieutenant in the
Fifth United States cavalry and was
present at the first battle of Bull Run
Young Custer served in succession
on the staffs of Generals Philip Kear-
.ney, William F. Smith and George 3.
Mcclellan. He was promoted to a
captaincy of volunteers and served
with distinction through the Peninsu-
lar campaign. His intrepid conduct in
battle won the admiration of all with
whom he was associated He knew no
fear and recognized the possibility of
no such thing as defeat. He was
in command of brigade when he was
twenty-four years old, SURPRISING in
preferment many officers twice his
age
Brilliant as was his showing in the
Civil war, Clusters greatest fame will
ever rest on his ability as an Indian
fighter. Before his tragic death, he
had formulated an entirely new sys-
tenn of meeting the reds on their own
grounds and fighting them with their
own weapons.

thority

Dr.. H. W. Wiley. Chief Chemist OF
the Agricultural Department, has de-
manded OF the Calumet Baking Powder
Company. of Chicago, that it cease the
publication of alleged certificates or
statements that he had endorsed the
Calumet Baking Powder, or reported in
favor Of its purity, wholesomeness or
superiority. Such statements, he says
ara false
Dr. Wiley never served upon COM
mittee of awards, as alleged. nor
signed such a report or certificate, nor
did he ever endorse the Calumet Baking
Powder in any way. On the contrary,
DR.. Wiley testified before Con-
gressional Committee relative to
alum in food, as follows:
''As have said repeatedly. l do not
use it in my home, and would not use
alum in bread if knew it, Alum is
injurious.
1t seems that DIR. Wiley's demand
that the Calumet Company should
cease these publications which are, he
says, against the TRUTH" was not
complied with, although he says he has
done all he could ito stop the base
and inexcusable use of his name"
The public will share in DR.. Wiley's
indignation that his name and official
position should be fraudulently used to
aid in foisting upon consumers food
made from ingredients which
the Doctor has publicly declared to be
Injurious
