WAGSTAFF AT HOWARD.
Many Farmers Hear the Candidate in
Elk.

Howard, Kan. June 29.-Tom Wag-
staff, Republican candidate for gov
ernor, spoke to a packed court house
at this place at IL a. m Considering
the hour Of the day that Mr.. Wagstaff
spoke, his meeting was one of the
largest and most enthusiastic ever held
in this county. Notwithstanding the
busy season and that many of the
farmers are engaged in the harvest, a
good share of the audience was COM
posed of farmers from different parts
OF the county. Mr.. Wagstaff devoted
most of his speech to answering Gov
ernor Stubbs. who was here a few
weeks ago, and judging from the com
ments of his audience after the meet
ing was over, there is no question but
he made many friends and votes. A
month ago, or even a week ago, this
county was figured the one county in
the Third district that might give Gov
ernor Stubs a fair majority but after
today's speech. Wagstaff's friends are
claiming the county by a good ma
jority.
Mr.. Wagstaff will speak this after
noon at Moline and Grenola.

discouraged, hurried here today to
superintend the salvage of his latest
aerial model, the great airshlp
Deutschland, which came to grlef IN
less experienced hands yesterday.
The count, who will be ~ years of
age on Friday of next week, has an
engagement for the near future to fly
from Friedrichsafen to Vienna ana
exhibit his invention to Emperor
Francis Joseph and he proposes to
make good his promise.
The prospects for the early resump-
ton of the passenger service, however,
are not bright. The airship company
announces that the accident will ne
cessitate a suspension for several
months of the advertised excursions
After hours of perilous flight, dur
ing which it was driven hither and
thither at the caprice of gale, the
Deutschland found desperate refuge
in the trees of Teutoburgian Wald.
Its framework was wrenched and the
great envelope badly torn. The 81
passengers, including twenty news
papermen, had narrow escapes.
1t was found today that it would
be necessary to dismaEtle the airship
and this was begun.
During the operations today mem
Der of the crew was severely injured.
Throughout the night 200 soldiers
stood guard about the clump of trees
in the branches of which the airship
was lodged. Today the soldiers were
occupied with restraining the thou

ROLLS TO FLY HERE.
English Aviator Enters in American
Air Contests.

New York, June 29.-Charles S.
Rolls, the English aviator who twice
flew across the channel a few weeks
ago, has entered both the information
al balloon contest and the information
al aviation contest.
AS the balloon race starts from St.
Louis on October II and the aeroplane
competition is scheduled for October
22 at Garden City. it is evident that
the Englishman has mapped out a
strenuous program for himself.
1t is suggested by the committee on
arrangements for the international
meet that Rolls may plan to alight
from his balloon in Garden City in
time to fly his aeroplane to victory on
the later date.

be no more of them in New York city
unless he changes his views. In veto
ing a resolution passed by the board of
aldermen, giving permission for tag
day in a suburban borough, the mayor
says:
"Such a resolution, authorizing the
accosting of people in the streets for
the purpose of extracting money, is of
full propriety. The collection of money
on tag days is made a success usually

INTERESTING STRUGGLE IN
OHIO CONVENTION.

Besides being the home State Of the
President, Ohio Is one of the pivotal
States Of the Union in national cleo
tons, and for both reasons the struggle
now under way there between stand
patters and progressives for control
OF the State convention creates one
of the most interesting issues Of this
undermined, 1910 campaign. On the
one side stand the Republican machine,
IN the hands Of Cox, Burton, Dick,
Ellis, and other regulars On the other
stands James r. Garfield. candidate for
governor and head Of the Ohio insur-
gent movement, with a formidable fol
lowing OF insurgent delegates The
battle Is for the goveuOrship and the
privilege OF writing the state platform
It looks as if the regulars would be
able TO control II they were united on
any one candidate for governor, but
their forces are badly divided among
local favOrItes. They are also divided
On the platform, some demanding a
hat-footed Endorsement Of AIr. Taft
and the Payue-AIdrich tariff law and
some believing 1t would be wiser to

The situation is complicated by the
fact that the standpatters- recognize

BASHFUL HEROES OF THE BIG
GUN DISASTER.

Left TO their own devices, the sol
diers who did the brave work at Fort
Monroe the other day when the big
gun exploded would never acquire any
Carnegie hero medals. Indeed, If they
had their way about It, history would
not record the noble part they played
IN rescuing dead and injured and IN
preventing further disaster from sec
ondary explosions. When an attempt
was made to discover who had been
the heroes the guilty parties had to be
subjected to a sort Of third degree"
before they would confess.
The explanation OF this performance
which strikes the civilian as peculiar
is found in the code Of ethics that
prevails IN the army In the first place.
the soldier holds 10 the theory that
he Is paid to take risks, and that any
thing he Is called upon to do, no mat
ter how dangerous, Is merely a task
IN the line OF duty, over which there
Is no occasion for any fuss. Beneath
this lies the seemingly peculiar mental
attitude Of the soldier toward his own
work. As a matter OF fact, he Is not
nearly so much a hero IN his own ewes
as IN the eyes OF the public. Soldier
