AIRSHIP 22HOURSUP
count ZEPPELIN DOES FEAT
in GERMANY
He Went the Distance of 456 Miles
Without Landing-Emperor and EN-
press Pleased-Was Expected He
Would Go From Friederichafen to
Berlin but Changed His Plans.

Berlin, May 31.-Count Zeppelin
whose remarkable performances in his
first airship brought unbounded honor
to the inventor, accomplished Sunday
the most striking feat in his career.
He guided his Zeppelin II. from Fried
erichshafen to Bitterfeldt, a distance
of more than 456 miles, without land
ing.
Count Zeppelin has beaten all records
for dirigible balloons.
1t was announced thAt the count
would come to Berlin and land at the
Tempelhof parade ground. Hundreds
of thousands gathered there. The en-
peror and empress, several of the
princes and the leading military officials
and officers were present, and toward
evening searchlights were set at work,
in anticipation of the approach of the
airship. Soldiers kept an enormous
space clear until 1890 'clock at night,
when a dispatch from Bitterfeldt an
nounced that the airship was returning
to the starting place at Friederichs,
hafen, which caused intense disappoint-
ment.
Count Zeppelin, who personally was
in charge of the airship and whose hand
was at the tiller during the greater part
of the journey, had not allowed a word
to be made public relative to his inten-
ton to undertake an endurance trip. It
was, however, common knowledge that
he proposed to seize the first favorable
opportunity to proceed to Berlin in his
new craft, the Zeppelin H., which was
rebuilt to eclipse the one destroyed near
Echterdingen.

GEORGIA STRIKE ENDS.
Federal Interference Brings Both Sides
in Controversy to Terms,


Atlanta, Ga, May 31.-The big strike
which has tied up the Georgia railroad
for week came to an unexpected end
Saturday. The firemen, who precipi-
tated the trouble, have been ordered
back to work by Vice Grand Chief Ball
and all questions at issue will be set
tied by arbitration.
The threat of federal interference
made by Interstate Commerce Com
missioner Knapp brought both sides
up with round turn.
The visible evidence of the result is
the reinstatement of the white fire
men and hostlers in the terminal yards
here, the removal of the negroes who
were given their places and thus pre-
,cipitated the strike and the resump'
ton of traffic on the road at exactly
the point it was interrupted at the
inception of the trouble.
Commissioners Knapp and NELL viii
remain here for several days to draw
up the arbitration agreement. Trains
are moving normally tonight.

Mrs. R. H. Tucker Wins Distinction Of

Mrs. R. H. Tucker, expert aerogram.

Fruit Growers Advice.

More narrowing and less water on
the land is advocated by Professor
Cyrus l.. Smith, a practical fruit
grower and veteran institute lecturer
of eastern Washington, to produce the
best results in upland orchards. He
also favors thinning the fruit to Sc
cure uniformity in size and to prevent
overproduction, thus assuring crops
yearly. BY keeping the ground free
from weeds and narrowing once week
during the growing season, thus max
ing a mulch of the dry surface earth,
the natural moisture can be conserved
sufficiently to grow fruit that will
command the best markets.

rising waters. Practically nothing was
left of the town of 200 inhabitants.
Rescuers FASTENED to the place, but

become raging torrent.
A few inhabitants of Key West
crossed the stream before the rise.
They confirm the reports that at least
10 were killed and twice that number
injured. Among the injured is a
young woman named Brace. She was
in the postoffice when the building
was blown away. She was seriously
hurt.
The residence of ]. 1. Hart was de

Depew was destroyed by a double
twister that formed, one starting from
Key West and another coming from
the east. The tornado wiped out De
pew and then pushed northeast, pre-
sumably spending its force a few
miles further on.
Small tornadoes rapidly followed on
: another. They rose high into the all

RIVER TRANSPORTATION.

In another column will be found 9
statement from New Orleans, rela
tive to river transportation, which
ought to interest the people of Hat
tiesburg, as it shows that other cite:
have their rate troubles, and thai
there is generally some way out Of
the difficulties, II an effort is only
made to solve them. Hattiesburg IA
just now waiting to hear from the
interstate commerce commission
hoping that that body will recognize
the justice of our contention, but II
it does not, our jobbers must try
and solve the problem in another way,
and we have no doubt of the results,
though 1t may take time.
The problem for the people of Kan
sas City to solve, is one which in.
wolves the very existence of their
wholesale trade, for the M. K. & T.
railway has made rate from New
York via Galveston, to Oklahoma
City, which will take away half OF
the trade Of Kansas City, unless they
can force the railroads to give them
the right kind of treatment, because
of what they can do on the Missouri
river. The matter of transportation
from St. Louis to New Orleans is
only a question of suitable boats, and
for that. reason If the Kansas City
business interests can maintain
line of boats from st. Louis up the
Missouri 1t will revolutionize the
transportation question and with our
short distance from the Mississippi
river, we need not despair of getting
all that we are entitled to.
