Indianapolis. June 6.-Reports from the
aeronauts who left here yesterday after
noon in the national and handicap races
were tolerably definite during the day,
and few personal messages We're re-
ceived showing that all Of the racers
in the handicap had come back to mother
earth and that the St Louis III. in the
national race. landed at Blanche, Tenn,
at Z o'clock tonight
The Indiana. IN the national race,
manned by Pilot Fisher and Aid Bum
baugh. came down long enough 10 get
some fresh water, and then rose again
and moved OF in southeasterly direc-
tion
It is said the Indiana had been dis
qualified by this dip to earth unless the
cause is other than that reported. as it
is in violation Of the rules of the Aero
Club of America for a balloon TO de-
scend for any purpose.
The Ohio came down last night in
Brown County. thirty-fve miles from this
city, because Of lack OF ballast. and the
Chicago. the largest balloon that left the
Speedway. came down at Scottsvile
Allen County. KY. at 1:3O this afternoon
Saw Competitor Land.
The Indianapolis was within speaking
distance when its second competitor de-
scended and continued on its course to
Westmoreland. Sumner County. Tenn.
when Pilot Link brought the handicap
winner TO earth. Link says that he could
have remained longer in the air, but
knowing that the Ohio had come down
soon after the start. and seeing the Chi
cagO descend near the Kentucky -Tennes-
see line, there was no longer any incen-
tive 10 remain in the air. as it would
have been impossible for The Indianapolis
to have made a record against the start
srs in the national race
The course taken by all the balloons IN
the national race was almost directly
south, and they did not vary from this
till this afternoon while going over Ken
lucky and Tennessee. The wind veered
then a little 70 the east and the racers
took a southeasterly course. Two Of the
balloons passed over Glasgow. KY. early
this morning. being about an hour apart
One OF them was very high and the other
considerably lower down. The latter car

Talked Through MegaphOne.
Early in the night while the national
racers were punched as 1t were. the pilots
talked to each other through megaphones.
but before daylight they were widely
separated, with the exception Of the New
York and ;ts companion, which passed
over Glasgow. Ky
At 1906 tonight a message was received
from Pilot Fisher, Of the Indiana. which
read: Sumner County. Tenn. at $40 p.

The message is signed Fisher and

OUR Pierre correspondent on our in
serted page this week calls attention to
an interesting phase of the effort now
being made in this state to secure a
physical valuation of railroad property.
As Mr.. Robinson shows, when similar
valuation was made in Wisconsin the
roads opposed it. supposing it was
for the purposes of taxation. When it
was made the basis for determining
rates they nearly fell over themselves in
an effort to raise the valuation Re-
membering this experience the South
Dakota lines of railroads seem anxious
to have fair and complete valuation
made. Undor these conditions we be-
heva the movement isl good one and
that, Notwithstanding the heavy drains
that are sure to be made upon the pres
ent legislature,a a liberal appropriation to
carry on the work now well begun will
be money well invested.
