Winner of Gordon Bennett Trophy
Describes Voyage Through the Air.

Paris. Oct. S-Edgar w. Mix of Co
Iumbus, O., the winner Of the interna-
tional balloon race for the Gordon Ben
nett trophy, which started from zurich
Sunday, has sent the following account
of his memorable voyage to the Asso-
ciated Press. His dispatch is dated
Warsaw:
Leaving Zurich Sunday at 1857 p. m,
we were able to recognize our route
only as far as Constance. Thence TO
the finish the weather was so thick that
direction could only be determined by
compass.
'sDuring Sunday night the balloon, in
a drenching rain. sometimes seemed to
be at a complete standstill. We as
cended and descended in search OF bet
ter currents of air, without appreciate
results. By 4 o'clock In the morning
half of our ballast had been used.
''The passage of the Bavarian Alps
through rain and clouds was thrilling
Once we swooped down the mountain
side with frightful velocity, plunging
into a chasm of fog which seemed bot
tomless. 1t was as If the earth had
opened to swallow us up.
1.-THE balloon several times crashed
through the tree tops. After two hours
we emerged from the valley and got
northeasterly slant of wind.
when clear of the mountains we
moved at a lively rate The guide rope
dragged over farm houses, breaking
ed out with cries and imprecations.

had become unravelled and hoisted it
into the basket for repairs, which were
most difficult, as we were at the same
time working hard with the blower to
prevent the balloon from rising.
"A few hours later we recognized
several villages and then the town Of
Konigstadt. We sighted balloon to
the eastward with peasants hanging on
to the Guide rope
after passing over Konigstadt,
which cost three sacks of ballast, we
rose through the clouds to an altitude
of 1900 meters (about $4,000 feet) and
saw, above the clouds, balloon to the
north about 100 meters higher. We be-
gan to descend at 1:40 p. M, emerging
from the clouds about AGO meters above
the town of Waldenburg and were
obliged to jettison eleven sacks of ball

IMPORTS DOUBLE
Under Operation of New Philippine
Tariff Law.

Washington, Oct. S.-Under the
operation of the new tariff law, there
was an increase of one hundred per
cent in the value of imports in the
United States from the Philippine
islands during last August compared
with the imports of the same month
of the previous year.
The total value of merchandise from
the Philippines in August, 1909, was
$1,S21,13S, against $S14,519 in Au-
gust, 1908. Curiously enough, the i'm
portation of manila hemp, which was
formerly entered free of duty, formed
the largest part of this increase,
amounting in value to $1,578,205,
while in August of last year the value
of that article imported was but
$314,128.

Are Microbes
in Your Scalp?
1t Has Been Proved That
Microbes Cause Badness

Professor Unna of Hamburg Ger
EIany, and DR.. Sabourand, the leading
French dermatologist, discovered that
micrObe causes badness. Their the
ory has time and again been amply
verified through research experiments
carried on under the observation of
eminent scientists. This microbe lodges
in the Sebur, which is the natural hair
Oil, and when permitted to flourish it
destroys the hair follicles and in time
the pores entirely close, and the scalp
gradually takes on a shiny appearance.
When this happens there is no hope
of the growth of hair being revived.
Dand-un is contagious disease.
which is largely due to a destructive
rricrobe, which when left to pursue it's
course causes itching scalp, falling hair
and badness. Dandruff is caused by
the micrebe affecting the glands which
produce the sebaceous matter. which
latter hen unnaturally dries up and
scales off.
We have a remedy which will we
honestly believe. remove dandruff, ex-
terminate the microbe. promote good
circulation in the scalp and around the
hair roots, tighten and revitalize the
hair roots and overcome badness, so
long as there is any life left in the
hair roots.
We back up this statement with our
own personal guarantee that this rem
edy called Rexall "93" Hair Tonic will
be supplied free of all cost to the user
il it fails to do as we state.
It will frequently restore gray and
faded hair to its original color, pro-
viding loss of color has been caused
by disease; yet it is in no sense dye.
Rexau "93" Hair Tonic accomplishes
these results by making every hair
root, follicle and pigment gland strong
and active. and by stimulating a nat
ural flow of coloring pigment through
out the hair cells
Rexali "93" Hair Tonic is entirely
free from grease or sediment, is ex-
ceedingly pleasant to use and will not
gum the hair or permanently soil the
clothing or pillows
We exact no obligations or promises
we simply ask you to give 1t a
Thorough trial and if not satisfied tell
US and we will refund the money you
paid us for it. Two sizes, prices SO

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
New Correcting Apparatus Has Been
Received by DIR. Crumbine.

The. state of Kansas will soon start
a campaign of correction. This cam
paign has been organized by Secre-
tary Crumbine of the state board of
health for the purpose of inspecting
and placing in condition if possible ali
of the weights and measures in the
state.
The new standard weights and
measures apparatus has just arrived
at the state house from the plant in
New York city and has been sent to
the state university for the final test.
1t will be shipped back to Topeka as
soon as the standard Is approved and
the headquarters of the state stand
ard weights and measures will be in
the state house here.
1t is absolutely necessary since the
pure food laws, the new drug .inspec-
ton laws. etc., to have a convenient
place for the six inspectors to gauge
their measures and make their tests
before they go out on the trip over
the state. Huge glass cases have been
installed in the state board of health
suite at the state house and here the
weights and measures will be kent for
constant reference.
The campaign over Kansas for the
correction of the weights and meas
ures will commence sometime the first
of November.

SEWERS BLOW UP.
Boy Standing on MaIhole Cover Is
Hoisted Into the Air.

New York, Oct. 8.-Nearly a square
mile of the middle west side has been
shocked by a series of sewer explo-
sions, which blew manhole covers high
into the air in crowded thoroughfares,
injured several persons, did consider
able damage to property. and caused a
moment of sharp panic.
Alarms of fire were turned in, the
police reserves turned out, and fac
tory employees, shopkeepers and tene-
ment jewellers rushed to the open
streets.
Seven-year-old Emil Miller has
standing on a manhole cover when the
first rumble came. He and the cover
shot up ten feet and Emil came down
about a foot from the manhole, out of
which flames were pouring. He was
badly burned about the face and body
and taken unconscious to a hospital,
where it was said his condition was
serious.
The total damage will probably
amount to about $4,000. The police
explain the explosion by the accidental
ignition of sewer gas mixed with gaso-
line vapor from the waste discharges
of the many garages in the neighbor-
hood.

ONLY CURTISS FLEW
Other AerOpIane Aviators Failed to
Rise at ST. Louis.

st. Louis, Oct. S.-Glenn H. Curtiss.
who won international honors in avia-
ton at Rheims, France, made three
aeroplane flights here. One was more
than quarter mile and the shortest
of the three was about 220 yards. This
was witnessed by throng of 100000
persons, who waited for hours in For
est park to see an aeroplane in action.
Curtiss' last performance of the day
was cut short by his engine failing
when he was about rs feet from the
ground. The machine gIided to an
irregular landing place and a rudder
guy snapped. Efforts to mend it be-
fore darkness were unavailing.
The crowd which witnessed the
flights was the greatest the street car
company has carried to Forest park
since the worlds fair.
