KANSAS BALLOON RACE .

Kansas City, Mo, II July.-At midnight
only one Of the seven balloons that started in

thunderstorm,
Battled With Storms.
The New York was sucked into the cen
tire Of a storm, and 50 violently was the bas-
ket of the bag shaken that both men were
forced to hold to it's sides to keep from
being thrown out. When they finally at
tempted a landing they were dragged in the
basket for more than a mile before the bal
loon stopped. They were uuinjured and
headed for New York by train.
Lieutenant Frank p. Lahm, pilot of the
St. Louis ", was faring badly when he
dropped a message at West Liberty, Iowa,
west of Davenport. His balloon was within
sixty feet of the ground and his guide rope
wa dragging, but a report from Moline later
sud that the nahm balloon had assembled to a
higher altitude.

he and Mr.. Harmon left there for the East

leaving Kansas City.
"The New York sailed well until midnight
last night in a northeast iI%ection, . sad MIR.

storm. The balloon arose to eight thousand
feet and the temperature dropped to thirty
degrees. A cyclonic vortex sucked us into
its centre End we were lost in the clouds,
with lightning playing all around.
Tossed Like a Cork.
stThe thunderclaps shook the basket and
the vibration felt like a huge sledge hammer
was striking it. At the upper surface of the
storm centre the balloon was twisted and
tossed like a cork in Niagara rapids. Nr.
Harmon and l had to hold on to the sides OF
the basket while it dropped and rose with
frightful rapidity.
Our ballast was soon exhausted and we
were carried Town without being able to
check the balloon. We decided to make
a landing, although it was three O'Clock in
the morning and so dark we could not see.

being able to allow the gas to escape. Great

The old leopard OF Mexican politics has eNl-
deutfY not yet succeeded In changing It's spoNs.

date for the presidency In opposition TO IRAN
cisco /. Madero, attempted to address an open
meeting of his constituents in Mexico CITY
last Sunday. he stoned by mob, nlcheu
of three thousand pesos and compelled to ice
for his life
Such u piece OF tyranny, coming as 1t ala
upon the heel of revolution ii the name OF
free speech and self government Is ironical IN

violence would have been rather natural, though
not justified. But General Reyes. while con-

/ There is this saving element to the unfortu-
nate episode: 1t has met with the denuneiation
OF Mexicans of all parties who have the re-
