Racing Balloons Seen Sailing Over.

Two or three balloons entered in the
fifth international race starting from
ST. Louis on Monday passed over this
locality at an early hour Tuesday morn
ing and were plainly followed as they
sailed away on northerly course.
Harry Son, who was camping at his
lodge on Lake Koshkonong saw one of
them slowly drifting over the opposite
shore scarcely more than hundred
feet above the ground about $50
o'clock. This is probably the same one
that passed over Grant Walrath' s
place in the town of Fulton within
hailing distance of him. The occupants
threw out message which he after
wards brought to town, proved to be a
printed blank giving the time, location
and weather conditions, with request
that finder telegraph the St. Louis
Post Dispatch the information con-
tanned. The blank, however, did not
give the name or identity of the bal
loon, though it was quite likely the
America II, which was communicated
with at GAINESVILLE. The second balloon
passed over GAINESVILLE and Milton
Junction about a. M, taking north.
erly direction but at a higher elevation.
1t could be plainly seen by passengers
on the Madison train leaving about
that time but the airship moved much
faster than the train. This was the
one good many Edgerton people saw.
though appearing but a mere speck in
the northeast slowly passing out of
view. Telephone exchanges along the
route traversed by these balloons were
given a ''busy" as calls came in so fast
and thick that the operators were fair
ly swamped. Two of the gas bags
leaving ST. Louis landed within the
state, one at Racine, the Million
Population, early in the day, and the
Condor at Two Rivers later. Seven
others are believed to have passed over
the great lakes into Canada. There
were ten ballons which started. The
contest is for the James Gordon Ben
nett cup and $4,75O in cash, the first
prize being the cup and $4,000. The
second and third prizes are $500 and
$780,

Health. Those interested In the edu-

its impetus within the next few days
In the visit of DR., Winfield Scott Hal
OF Chicago, who will give a number OF
addresses on subjects pertaining to
social hygiene, believe that great good
will result from the publicity given to
the movement at this time.

which are specially invited the men,
bers of church clubs and religious or
CARNATIONS.
Believing that a campaign OF edu-
cation will result in better moral and
physical conditions, In Detroit, the
physicians, ministers, laymen and
women interested In this movement
have pledged themselves to go about
the matter In an earnest, common
sense way, RELOCATING false modesty to
the background in touching upon a
subject that conventional custom has
heretofore left to medical clinics. The
series OF talks TO be given in the high
schools, churches, clubs and other
places during the next few days by DR..
Hall, professor OF physiology. In
Northwestern university, Evanstown,
ILL.,, win be the opening guns in the
educational campaign. DR.. Hall is an
authority upon social hygiene and his
success as physician, teacher and lee
turer on matters pertaining TO the
subject has given him an interna-
tional reputation.
"A practical knowledge Of social
hygiene is necessary to the conserva-
tion OF the race, and on clean health
grounds alone, such knowledge should
be taught our boys and girls, men and
women" said DR.. Mary Thompson
Stevens, the well-known Detroit ply
stefan and clubwoman who Is actively
interested in this movement There
is a deplorable lack of knowledge Of
the simplest principles OF hygiene, SAN
itation, disease and preventive meth
DDS, as applied to individual and home
life, even among our educated men
and women, and the work we propose
to do Will enbedy the teaching Of q
few plain truths to mothers and faith
ers. that they. in turn, may carefully

In this matter of social hygiene, ignor-
ance is criminal"

ATTORNEY CHARGED WITH
CORRUPTNG BROWNE JUROR
Charles e. Erbsteln, Counsel For I'LL
noIs, 10 Indicted by Grand
Jury.

CHICAGO, Nov. 8.-Charles 4.
Erbstein, one OF the attorneys for
Lee O'Neil Browne, who was recently
acquitted OF charge of bFibiRg State
Rep. Charles A. White to vote for
William Lorimer for United States
senator, was indicted Wednesday,
charged with corrupting member Of
the jury which cleared Browne.
The Juror in question, Grant Nc
Cutchen, and Henry T. Stacy, al.
legged go-between, according TO their
stories told to State Attorney Way
man, received $780, which they d.
vided equally for McCutchen's vote
on the verdict.
The first trial of Browne resulted
In a disagreement, the second, in
which the alleged bribery is alleged
to have figured, In a verdict OF not
guilty. Among the witnesses for the
state were three state representa-
tives, who asserted on the stand that
they had received $1,000 each for
their votes for Mr.. Lorimer.
According to his story, Stacy sought
out State Representative Erickson
and asked how he could market Nc
Cutchens vote. Mr.. Erickson, Stacy
said, replied that he was not person
ally interested in the case, but would
put him in touch with some one who
was.
Soon afterward. Stacy asserted. he
was introduced to Mr.. Erbstein
Meanwhile Stacy had communicated
with McCutchen. The jury was close
ly guarded, but Stacy said he man
aged to arrange code OF signals by
which the juror would know whether
the financial arrangements with Erb-
stein had been consummated.
The high sign" was one of these
signals and another was the word
stick"
McCutchen received the signals and
according to his own story, became
a partisan OF Brownies at once. He
voted for acquittal on the first bal
lot and argued to bring others to
his side.
When the time came to realize on
McCutchen's alleged perfidy, he and
Stacy went to Erbstein's office, SO
they declare. They thought there
would be at least $4,000 in cash and
also easy Jobs. According to Stacy,
they could scarcely believe their eyes
when the lawyer gave them only 800
Later, they said, he gave them $3.50
more.

Chart of w. /. Kelly Claims He Was
Defrauded Out Of Much Money.
Attorney William L. Kelly is de-
Tending a suit brought against him In
Judge Mandelis court by steve"
Ruklich, who charges that through
unprofessional conduct he was de-
frauded out of several thousand dol
lars He brings suit for $4,000 The
suit was started by capias and Kelly
gave bonds for his appearance.
Ruklich testified that several
months ago while in Kelly's Office he
mentioned to Kelly and the latter's
partner, Frank Barnes, that he intend
ed erecting a building. The men then
told them of friend, Angus Beaton,
a contractor. and asked that the latter
be allowed to figure on the job. Ruk-
Itch consented and Beaton was the
lowest tenderer. Kelly was engaged
to obtain a suitable bond, so Ruklich
testified, to insure the fulhlment or
the contract.
After the work started Beaton was
paid various sums from time to time,
and, he says, Kelly assured him 1t was
all right, as he had a bond for $4,000.
Ruklich says he asked several times TO
see the bond and Kelly always made
the excuse that 1t was at his home.
Finally after chasing the lawyer for
week Ruklich says Kelly admitted
that he had no bond. About that time
Beaton threw up the contract, and
Ruklich learned that the $4,100 he had
advanced had been used for other pur-
noses than for material and work.
There are claims Of $4,000 against the
building, which is only partially com
pleted.
