FALLS 1000 FEET 70 DEATH.
Boy Caught IN Ropes OF Balloon At
Fair Grounds.

Flint, Mich. In the presence of
hundreds Of persons. 14-year-old Ches-
ter Belts, of Flint. was accidentally
caught by the guy rope of balloon
and carried about 1000 feet in the air
before the rope untangled and hurled
him to his death. He crashed against
the roof of barn and was still alive
when spectators reached him, but he
soon expired.
The tragedy occurred at a county fair
and when the balloon and aeronaut
shot upward, many people thought the
youth dangling at the end of a rope
was q dummy The heroic efforts of
the balloonist to rescue the boy soon
disclosed the truth to the crowd be-
low. AS the big gas bag crept higher
and higher. the aeronaut in peril of
his own safety, could be seen working
desperately to pull the dangling form
to the trapeze Finally the rope swirl
ed away from the lad and the tiny
form dropped downward like stone.

ON THE CRUST
Of A VOLCANO
Complete Destruction Of Big
Mexican City Predicted.
CRATER UNDER THE PALACE.
inhabitants OF GuadaIajara, Second
Largest City in Republic, Warn
ed That Within A Year Place
viii BE In Ruins.

Cuadalajara, Mexico. Warning has
been issued to this the second city in
the republic, with population Of 15O,-
900. that it is to be destroyed by q
volcano. The warning is given IN all
seriousness by the Mexican govern
ment through the seismographic
branch Of the National Observatory at
Mexico City. Seven scientists. who
spent the latter part of July and the
first week Of August here, have issued
report following the $40 earthquakes
which have shaken Guadalajara in the
past three months, that the town is
built on the crater of slumbering vel
cano.
Increasing temperature, sulphufcus
fumes escaping from assures torn in
the city streets by the quakes and the
bursting out OF several hot springs led
to the investigation which showed that
300 feet beneath the surface of the
earth there is a seething crater whose
last eruption was about 1900 years
ago. The men from the observatory
cannot state when the eruption will
take place, but they believe it will be
within a year.
Their report urges that the city be
vacated and they suggest movement
to Juanacatan, town about 40 miles
from here, on the banks Of Santiago
River. "A ridge Of hills intervenes, and
1t is stated that the effects Of the vol
canic upheaval, il it is Of the magni-
tude they expect, will not reach to
Juanacatlan. The center Of the crater
beneath this city is located approx.
imately under the state palace, which
is in the heart Of Guadalajara

years to i've months, were burned to

Barbara ran a bakery on the ground

Of the children slept in the rear room
on the second floor, the father and son
occupying the front. Policeman Ring
wood, on duty in the neighborhood,
heard screams. He traced them to
the Barbara house just as flames
broke through the roof. Barbara was
at the front window crying that his
wife and babeis were being burned to
death. Neighbors who rushed to the
scene ran frantically about trying to
locate ladder. but failed.
Finally the fire became so hot that
Barbara threw Joseph Through the
window. He was caught by Officer
Ringwood and two men. The father
followed and the force of his fall was
broken.
BY this time the firemen had arriv-
ed and a ladder was raised to the rear
of the house, but the fire was so hot
the room could not be entered. After
two-hour fight the firemen were able
to get into the room. The charred
form Of Mrs. Barbara. clntching her
five-month-old baby tightly to her
breast, was found just below the win
dow. A few steps more and she would
have been safe. The bodies of the
other children were found in a heap
at the top of the stairs, where they
had fallen, overcome by smoke, and
had been incinerated by the swiftly
moving flames.
Barbara was so historical from
grief over the tragedy that he had to
be restrained from committing suicide.

Twenty TO Thirty Lives Mere Lost
In the Pan Handle Counties or

Terrible Storm.

Wheeling, w. VAT Twenty to thirty
lives were lost in the Panhandle coun-
ties of this State and the adjacent ter
ritory across the line in Pennsylvania
by the terrible storm Monday morn
ing, between IL o'clock and 2. The
Panhandle Railroad is completely
paralyzed, and viii be for week. as
the result of their four tracks between
Wheeling Junction and Burgettstowni
being washed away with the roadbed.
A Wabash freight train rolled down
a bank into the swollen creek, and the
crew, aside from the engineer, are sup
posed to have been drowned or buried
under the train. Every person in the
storm district suffered more or less,
and many farms are denuded OF farm
buildings and fences. Crops were
absolutely ruined, and in most cases
were washed out of the ground. The
loss to crops and property will reach
into the millions.
"A number Of those who lost their
lives were ON board of fast freight
train running between Toledo and
Pittsburgh. The train endeavored to
run through the torrent, and when
laundering along the banks of Hari-
nor's Greek, near Golfers, the earth
gave way, and the engine and 40 cars
rolled over and over to the creek, and
was covered by the food. The engi
neer managed to swim ashore. but at
least two Of the train crew were
drowned.
Many of those on board the freight
we're on their way to Pittsburgh to
witness the ball game. Forty houses
were swept away by the food. IA miles
Of railroad track was destroyed, and
many miles of street care line swept
away. Telephone and telegraph lines
leading from the flooded district were
destroyed.

THE BORROWING HABIT.

Humanity is afilicted with some ex.
ceedingly bad habits. one of the
worst Of which IL that OF borrowing
money In small sums. It Is as de-
moralizing az intemperance. Indeed.
It IL often an accompaniment Of that
vice, perhaps the cause Of It or per
haps the effect. A man who lacks
business perception. who Is deficient
In the matter Of making adequate pro
vision for his needs, who does not
calculate carefully. and who spends
hnwisely on Injuries, starts to raising
funds by appealing to his friends
The lending Of money Is one Of the
vital factors in business, which is
largely done on credit. But the lend.
lng Of money individually. without Sc
curity, without interest. just az Q
personal accommodation between
friends, Is one Of the most unbusi.
neSslike and demoraiizing Of prac'
ices. At first these loans are repaid
cosscientiously, says the Washington
Star. Then the time goes by and the
borrower is slow about refunding.
After . while he grows accustomed
to asking. loses his shame, gets cal
Ions to the thought OF non-payment
and thus drifts into the habit Of petty
borrowing. Now It Is perhaps 9 quar-
ter or half dollar. or some other
triding sum that the lender would be
perfectly willing to give In good
cause to meet real emergency,
without hope Of return. But there Il
always the susplcion that the money
III not really needed. save for some
s.llf-indulgence. The average man
viii hesitate about giving in this way
when he feels that the money is go
Gg for drink. and that il why or
gtnized charity has come to be %
morally supported in these times.

GREAT BRITAIN
FILES PROTEST
May Appeal 70 Hague for Canal
Decision.
Mr.. LAURlER IS OPTIMISTIC.
1t ls Stated That " . Satisfactory
Agreement Cannot De Reached
England viii Appeal TO
The Hague.

Washington. Great Britain has re-
affirmed its protest against the Pan
anna Canal Bill In a note filed with
the State Department by A. Mitchell
Inness, charge Of the British Embassy
here, it was stated that If a satisfac-
tory agreement could not be reached
Great Britain would appeal to The
Hague Tribunal for arbitration.
The note submitted says Great
Britain will give careful consideration
to both the bill and the message Presi-
dent Taft sent to Congress relating to
discrimination in favor of American
coastwise shipping in the canal. Ii,
after due consideration, it is found
that no satisfactory agreement can be
reached in the matter, Great Britain
declares that it will be necessary to
appeal to arbitration.
Mr.. Inness, who has been acting as
charge of the embassy during the
absence of Ambassador Bryce, came
to Washington recently from the sum-
mer headquarters of the British EN-
bassy at Kineo, Me, to remain during
the discussion in Congress of the bill
and to file for his government the pro-
tests against it.
One State Department official de-
clared he did not believe Great Britain
had q case to carry before The
Hague Tribunal Senators Root,
Lodge and other senators are on rec
ord as declaring that the United
States would certainly lose should the
case be referred to The Hague.
