The man who wrote the advertisement was a business man,
and the paper that ran the classified advertisement had up
with him at that very time the question of display space for his
business advertising. Naturally the prospect of landing it was
not bright
The advertising manager of the paper called on the man
and was told that he, the business man, had good evidence that
advertising, in that paper at least, would not pay him., the
Help Wanted" ad being cited as evidence.
-A copy OF the advertisement was shown TO the newspaper
man. who said he knew what the trouble was and offered to
bet the contract that not one but a dozen replies could be had
through his papers.
The advertisement was rewritten in this fashion;

Of the so Million Dollar Peru.

San Francisco, May 11.-With no
treasure trove, but with a hard luck
story of a typhoon, a reef and a ship
wreck, Captain James Brown, who
claims that he is the only man in the
world who knows where to find the Co
cos Island cache of so million dollars,
has returned from the Antipodes.
Brown left this city February and
March left Sydney in a 25 ton schooner
with a crew of four to search the South
seas for the treasure. Two days later
the boat was thrown upon a reef and
wrecked. He and his crew were res
cued by a French ship.
The aged seaman. explains that in
1850. while chief mate of the schooner
Seafoam, his skipper. Captain Henry
Smith, confided to him that he had To-
Gated the famous Peruvian treasure of
gold, diamonds and money that had
long been sought by adventurous treas

transferred to another island for safety.
Through a series of mishaps all on
board the Seafoam with the exception
of Brown, died. The latter says he will
make another effort to recover ne bur-
led riches. His home is in Providence

BALLOON BLEW UP.
Signal Service Officers Had Narrow
Escape From Death.

Omaha, Neb., May 11.-Army bal
loon No. IL, which ascended from Fort
Omaha shortly after II o'clock yes
terday, landed at Jackson, Neb., at
6:45 o'clock last evening. In making
landing the gas bag exploded a few
feet above the ground and was de-
stroyed. but neither Captain Chandler
nor Lieut.. Ware, who made the flight,
was seriously injured. The town of
jackson is about 80 miles west of
Sioux City.
Lieut.. Ware declared that, aside
from the destruction of the gas bag,
the flight was an entire success.
Chandler believes while at a high
altitude the gas bag became charged
with static electricity and that on
reaching the ground. contact with the
earth caused an arc to form, thus
producing an electric spark, which set
fire to the big bag.
The ascension was supervised by
Captain Chandler, assisted by de-
tachment of trained signal corps men.
The balloon started north as soon as
it was well into the air and soon cross
ed the Missouri river.
1t followed the general course Of
the river for nearly 100 miles The
highest altitude reached was 400 feet
shortly after the balloon left the earth.
A fair breeze carried the bag at a 80
mile gait the first hour, when the wind
died down and the balloon was de-
wind then sprung up and carried the
big balloon at rapid rate to the
northwest.
Running out of ballast in the vicini-
ty of Jackson, Captain Chandler de-
cided to make a landing. The balloon
came down in an open field in an easy
manner, but just as it reached the
earth. the explosion occurred.
Both Captain Chandler and Lieut..
Ware were knocked down by the force
Of the explosion, but were not serious
ly injured The distance travelled was
about 40 miles and, deducting the
hour and a half the balloon was be-
Gained. the flight was made in about
six hours. Much of the time, however,
up to 8 O'Clock, the wind was so low
that the balloon moved only five to
eight miles an hour The maximum
speed reached was about fifty miles
The occupants of the balloon were
taken to town in farmers wagon
and are expected TO reach Omaha
about noon.

STAND -PATTERS WIN.
Senate Finance Committee Holds a
Majority of Votes.

washington, May 1.-THE ability Of
the Republican majority of the senate
to uphold the recommendation OF the
committee on finance on the lead sched-
ule which contains the Dingley rate in
the tariff bill in the place of low duties
fixed by the house was fully established
when by vote of 35 to A the senate
declined to reduce by one-quarter of a
cent pound the duty on nig lead as
recommended by the committee on fin
ance In this vote eleven Republicans
voted with the Democrats and two
Democrats with Republicans, by viva
voce vote the senate adopted the rate
of 21-S cent a pound on pig lead, as
recommended by the committee.
Aldrich stated that he regarded the
vote as an endorsement of the action
of the committee and he expressed con-
fidence that all the schedules of the
committee would be upheld.

of the solvency and general financial
condition of the company making the
insurance and the reasonableness of the
rate of. premium. Mr.. Wickersham says
that after the form of the policy is
modified to conform to the suggestion
he makes in his opinion, he sees no
legal reason why a bank may not enter
into such contract.
The attorney generals opinion is in
reply to a recent letter of the comp
troller of the currency asking as to the
power of a national bank to enter into
a contract of this kind and transmit
ting to the attorney general form o.
policy which is proposed to be issued
by an insurance company proposed to
be orga nized."
Gas a general principle" the attor-
ney general says: Il have no doubt
that it is entirely within the powers of
a national bank for the insurance of
it's assets against loss"
But Mr.. Wickersham says that the
form of the proposed policy submitted
by the comptroller is somewhat peculiar
and the contract hereunder is, in eff
feet, an agreement to pay to the banks
any deficiency in its assets upon ulti-
mate realization of every kind. One
paragraph seems to the attorney gen.
eral to be Objectionable as committing
the bank to profit sharing feature
which might be contended to entail a
corresponding liability for losses.
Would Cut This Out.
Mr. Wickersham advises that this
paragraph be eliminated from the poll
icy. The attorney general also says
that he very much questions the legal
ity of another provision in the policy
which subjects the bank to a periodi-
cal examination by the examiners of the
insurance company without notice and
at such time as the company may elect,
one of such examinations to be within
each period of six months covered by
the policy and all renewals thereof.
Mr.. Wickersham at least questions its
enforcibility. He quotes section 5241 of
the revised statutes, which he says,
while not prohibiting the bank from
permitting an examination of its books
does operate to prohibit the bank from
obliging itself to permit such exami-
nations. If the covenant to insure can
be considered as in any respect depend
ent upon this agreement to permit ex-
amfnations it might be vitiated by the
unlawful provision. He advises that
the clause be reframed so as to make
it clear the agreement to insure is not
dependent on the failure to permit the
examination. Although it might be
stipulated that in case at any time the
examiner of the company should not
be allowed access to the books of the
banks for making an examination the
company should have the option, upon
reasonable notice to terminate the con-
tract.
