FOUR BALLOONISTS
 NARROWLY ESCAPE

London, October 29.-(Special) )-Four balioonists who made an ascent from South London, had wonderful escapes from instant death after a successful voy- age over the metropolis. The balloon, when at height of TOGO feet, fell sheer to earth near the village of Roydon. a few miles from Epping.
 It landed with a great shock in a field al New Barns farm tearing a great hole fin the ground. The occupants were clinging to the ropes to lessen the force of the impact.
 The balloon, known as the Continental belonged to the Continental Tyre com- pany, and the car contained MT. H. D. Kerr of that firm, Mile. Janette Denar- Der, young woman who was to appear at the Palace theatre this evening in an act entitled. ''The Balloon Mystery" Mir John Winner. the manager of the piece, and a pilot. They were all very much shaken and bruised.
 Mr. E. J. Innocent, who resides at New Barns, saw the balloon falling while he was in his garden Running to the spot, he found one of the men outside the car and assisted to extricate the other passengers.
 Mile. Denarber and MT. Kerr were car ried into the house, the latter on a gar uen chair used as a Stretcner. Both Suf- fered from severe sprains and bruises and were in considerable pain. They were too i'll to be removed from the farm.
 Mir. Wilmer was bruised but able to walk. while the pilot sustained a sprained ankle.
 In a moment of consciousness Mile. Denarber, who speaks little English, said Balloon girl must expect this"
 MT. Wilmer, in an interview. gave the following account of the disaster

 "At the third time the valve became displaced on the hinges, and would not shut. We started going down like a thunderbolt.

 Charley Adams, the king of burglars" whose name was household word in New England quarter of century ago, Is dead at his home in West Swanzy, N H., where he had lived quietly for the last four years. Although his record was well known he won the respect and friendship of his neighbors. His last words were This is the right kind of a finish, to go out among your friends"
 Adams, whose real name was Langdon w. Moore, was one of the most success ful and daring safe crackers that ever operated in New England.

Are you one of those who pay for

are if you are sick. You may think
you don't want treatment. but there
isn't any question about your need
ing it.
There is difference between
wanting a thing and needing it.
If you need treatment you are
paying for it. Paying in the time,
the suffering and the self-respect
you lose that proper treatment
ties that get away; in the enjoyment
of life generally that treatment
would give, but which now you do
not get.
Whatever we really need We pay
for whether we actually get 1t or
not. You might get along. without
an overcoat this winter, but you
would pay for 1t just the same. You
would pay with discomfort and bad
colds.

Another Case of Larceny

The national republican platform
of 1892 contained the following par
agraph:
I'VE denounce the efforts of the
Democratic majority of the House of
Representatives to destroy our tar
iff laws piecemeal, as manifested by
their attack upon wool, lead, \ and
ores"
Times have changed. Republican
candidates for Congress, upon the
advice of President Taft, are now
advocating and promising tariff re-
vision 'piecemeal" with the init
nation that the schedules enumerat-
ed will be the first ones tackled. In
other words, the Republicans have
adopted another Democratic idea.

A reader of/ The Index desires to
know how Representative Griffin

tax law passed by the legislature.
Mr.. Griffin happened to be absent
when that law was voted upon, and
it might be remarked that he was
absent a number of times when he
preferred not to be on record. The
inheritance tax law should be
denominated "an act to impoverish
widows and orphans in order to ere
ate funds for political henchmen.'

stubbs and Extrayagance

Facts are facts regardless of their
source, but it is always delightful to
The Index to quote Republican au-
thority in a political campaign. es-
pecially when that authority re-
lates to a republican leader, and
when these facts are cleaned from
undisputed records. Hence it is
pleasure to reproduce the following
which was widely circulated through
out Kansas by one faction of the
Republican party before the primary
election this year. If these things
were true then (and we grant that
they were) they are no less true
now, and we trust that every voter
of Kansas will consider them care
fully and then vote as an honest
conscience dictates:
Governor Stubs is claiming that
the increase in state taxes was nee
essary in order to properly care for
state institutions. The records show
that the Legislature of 1909 under
Governor Stubs appropriated s546,-
10000 less for building and perma-
nent improvements for state institu-
tions than the Legislature of 1907
under Governor Hoch. So that
while our taxes have been increased
nearly a million dollars the first
year of Gov. Stubbs's administra-
ton, the state does not have by ov-
er half million dollars as much in
crease in assets to show for money
expended as it did under the last
term of Governor Hoch's admins
| tratiOn.
Governor Stubbs claims he in
! herited a deficit of $600,000.0 90 from
| Governor Hoch. The truth is that
the State Treasurer's books show a
balance on hand of $119, 100000 on
January II, 1909, when Governor
Stubs took the oath of office, in
stead of a deficit.
The facts are that the increase in
taxes and expenditures by the pres
ent administration has been caused
by pure, unadulterated extravaganza
beginning at the governors office,
where it is greatest, and extending
through every department under his
control

The Index is having less to say
concerning the candidacy of r. L.
Groendycke and Emmett McClarey,

every voter in Barber county should
vote for them regardless of this
fact and thus attest the appreciation
that the general public feels for cap

The world hates a straddler. The
average person would rather see a

individual view, than to try to be
