n ERLIN, May 3O.-Count
X Zeppelin, whose remarka-
~ BILE performances in his first
airship brought unbounded honor
to the inventor, accomplished to-
day the most striking feat in his
career.
He guided his Zeppelin II from
Friederichshafen to Bitterfeld, a
distance of more than 456 miles,
without landing.
The Journey lasted nearly
twenty-five hours, and, so far as
known tonight, Count Zeppelin is
still in the air on the return jour
nev to Friederichshafen.
He has already beaten all rec
ords for dirigible balloons, with
the opportunity of greatly i'm
proving the performance.
To Land in Berlin
Tt was announced the count would
come to Berlin and land at the Temple
hof parade ground. Hundreds of
thousands gathered there this after
noon.
The emperor 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 half past 10 o'clock at night,
when dispatch from Bitterfeld an
nounced that the airship was returning
to the starting place at FREDERICK
shafen, which caused intense disap-
pointment
+. Count Zeppelin, who personally was
i'm charge of the airship and whose
hand was at the tiller during the great
err part OF the journey, had not allowed
a word to be made public relative to
his intention to undertake an endur-
ance trip.
Took First Opportunity
1t was, however. common knowledge
that he purposed to seize the first
favorable opportunity to proceed to
Berlin in his newest craft, the Zeppelin
H., which was rebuilt to replace the
one destroyed near Echterdingen.
The voyage was begun under favor
able conditions. There were lower
ing slxy. rain clouds and a strong side
wind when the airship left the floating
hall shortly after o'clock last night.
The ship ascended directly for few
hundred feet, and passing over the
town of Friederichshafen, proceeded
northward.

ONE FROM MINNEAPOLIS.

This letter is also clincher, and goes
to show that persons from this state, as
we'll as from other portions of the coun-
try, appreciate the unusual resources of
Bemidji and Beltrami County:
Minneapolis Mimi, Dec 25, 1908.
MY Dear Pogue:-I write to thank you
for the courtesies shown me and my
friends during our recent visit to your
beautiful little city.
Your people are justly proud of their
city know Of no place that can show
more rapid and substantial growth
Your public buildings, business blocks and
private residences are splendid and would
do credit to a much older and larger city
''The growth and prosperity of Be-
midi read like fairy story-in less
than dozen years forest has been
converted into magnificent city of
5000 prosperous, happy people, but when
we stop to look for the reason, it is not
hard to find. You are surrounded by
great forests of pine, and hard wood,
which is being manufactured into building
material, poles, posts and cordwood, and
shipped all over the country, thereby Civ
ing employment to thousands of people
Then, too, your soil is very rich and
will produce in abundance all kinds of
crops and where the forests give way,
farms are appearing and in the near fu
ture Bemidji will be surrounded by one
of the most prosperous agricultural sec
tiOnS in the state.
'Then you have good railroad facilities,
and you are a distributing point for a
large section, so taking every thing into
consideration there is no reason why you
should not have made a great growth, nor
any reason why you should not continue
to grow.
yours very truly,
MART FLEENER.''

'The great number of people coming
to your city all the while, swelling it's
population and adding to it's wealth at
such rapid rate was source of won

lumber mills, single mills and hard

various other manufacturing industries,

I find is the home of all kinds of mead

kinds of sweet grasses; and small grains
such as wheat, barley, rye, oats and speltz
which grow to perfection and yield album
dant crops, such as potatoes by the hun
dreds of bushels per acre, all of those
things were most pleasant surprise to
me, but my greatest surprise was to find
your land so cheap. [ was shown hun
dreds of acres of perfect lying land-rich
producing black sandy loan soil, that I
was told could be bought at from So to

your city, which is so fortunately blessed
with a good market for all products pro-
duced for many miles around.
with your four railroads and bright
prospect to secure the fifth, with your
pine and hard wood forests, with your
location amid the beautiful lakes, and
your city located along the lake shore, all
of which goes to make up a marvellous
scenery of wonderful beauty. With prop
er energy and push it is easy to forecast
the future of your little city.
Thanking you again for past favors,

VIEWS OF A BANKER.

To illustrate the attention that Be-

punishment by falling.
Ketchel was so angry at the end of
the fight at his failure to put Mccain
out that he shook hands with him with
but poor grace. The audience was much
with Mccain after he had come up
from his sixth knockdown. and cheered
him wildly.
McGann started very fast. and for
the first two rounds had things his own
way. Ketchel not appearing to get

some hard blows in the face, however.
Ketchel limbered up and BY the open

for the count OF nine, but could not end
the fight.
In the fifth he knocked him down
twice more. but McGann declined to stay

Pittsburg. Pa, May 19.-Stanley
Ketchel last night failed to knock out
Hugh McGann of Kansas City in six
rounds before the National Athletic
club. Ten times in the fight was Nc
Gam down for a part OF the count but
Ketchel could not find the vulnerable
spot.
The sixth and last round was one Of
the most bitter periods ever witnessed
in a prize ring in Pittsburg. Like de-
mon Ketchel was all over McGann try
ing madly to put him out. Six times
did he knock him down, once sending
him clear through the ropes and into
the audience, but McGann came back
with a smile before the count of ten
was up.
This was the second time in the fight
that Mccain was knocked through the
ropes and off the stage, and after the
fight he said he was hurt more bump

the blows of the man who is matched
to fight Jack Johnson

FIGHTS IN WEST HAMMOND
TONIGHT OF STAR ORDER

The boxing contests in West Ham
mond tonight will be witnessed by one
of the largest crowds that has ever
seen a similar event in the village
across the line
The principals will be Clarence Eng
lish and Jack Drumgoole. English
claims the welter- weight championship
of the Pacific coast. and Jack Drum
goole is a shifty Chicago Heights box
er who is believed to have a future
ahead of him.
This bout should be one of the best
that has ever been seen in West Ham
mond Probably one of the most in
teresting features of this battle tonight
is that Clarence English. the Pacific
coast champion. viii fight Jimmy Clab-
by, the middle western champion, for
the championship of the west and a
purse of $1,000. at some time in the
near future.
This makes the approaching contest
between English and Drumgoole an In
teresting one. The local admirers OF
Clabby will be able to get a line on
the Pacific coast fighter and will find
out how he will stack up against their
favorite. Malachy Hogan will referee
There will be a couple of good pre-

liminaries this evening. One will be
the semi windup, between Kid LAWN of
South Chicago and Kid Homnland of
Chicago, and the first preliminary will
be between Kid Henry of South Chi
cago and Kid Jean of Chicago Heights.
AS all of the fighters in the prelimi-
naries have taken the name kid" they
must surely be about the toughest pugs
that come down the pike. The right to
take the name kid" being only gained
by a superlative degree of toughness
But no matter what the fighters in
the preliminaries do, the main event
will be a hummer and will positively
be pulled off without any of the delays
that have made other contests a bore
to the average fan.
It is understood that there will be
between 100 and $50 fight fans from
Chicago. between $50 and 200 from Chi
cago Heights. a number from Benton
Harbor, and scores from the cities oi
Hammond, Whiting, East Chicago anc
Gary.
The boxing contests will be held in

letic club, and are scheduled to begir
