FIVE KILLED IN AIR
vaniman's Big Dirigible Balloon
Bursts on High.

At Atlantic City, N. j., while about
1900 spectators stood, too startled to
utter single sound, the big dirigible
balloon, Akron, was shattered by the
explosion OF the gas bag and blown to
atoms half mile OF shore, over Alb
secon inlet.
Melvin Vaniman, who had built the
airship with the idea of flying across
the Atlantic ocean; Calvin Vaniman,
his brother; Fred Almos. Walter
Guest and George Brilliant, his crew
were instantly killed.
The balloon was sailing at height
Of 1000 feet when the accident oc
Cured. The huge envelope, contain
ing thousands of cubic feet of gas, was
rent by the terrific force of the ex
plosion, probably caused by expansion
from the suns rays.

Business Hand Book.

Whitelaw Reid was once asked by
New York merchant what was the best
book for him to put into the hands of
his clerks for a business handbook.
Mr.. Reid answered, 1.-THE Book of Pro-
verbs, and the merchant went to the
Bible Society and bought supply of
them. Below are a few of the sayings
of the book.
A good name is rather to be chosen
than great riches,
A wise son maketh a glad father.
Buy the truth and sell it not.
In the way of righteousness is life.
Wine is a mocker, strong drink is
raging.
Walk with wise men and thou shalt
be wise.
Every wise woman buildeth her
house.
The fear of the Lord is fountain of
life; and there is a friend that sticketh
closer than a brother.
He that loveth pureness of heart, for
the grace of his lips the King shall be
his friend

Philadelphia, Nov. IA plurality of
more than $4,000 for Roosevelt in

TO Determine Result.

st. Paul, Nov. with returns In
from only 760 precincts out of a total
of 1884 in the state Woodrow Wilson
has lead in Minnesota over Roose-
welt of 4,41s.
This lead may be overcome in later
reports, especially from Northern Min
nesota where Roosevelt is reported to
be running strong.
Wilson carried both Ramsey and
Hennepin counties by good pluralities
and he is hol ling his own in the coun-
try districts. If he can maintain the
ratio established he will carry the
state.
Governor Eberhart and apparently
the entire state Republican ticket are
safe, according to the scattered re-
turns received, but P. M. Ringdais
showing in the country districts is a
surprise to every one, and for while
1t had the administration badly fright
ened.
Out of 57s precincts, including Min

Governor Eberhnrt has q head Of.
11,195 over Ringdal. The remaining
precincts may cut down the gov
ernor's lead. but this is hardly likely
unless Ringdal shows a greater gain
in some of the country districts than
anticipated.

congress were elected with the ex-
ception OF the Second district, where
w. 8. Hammond, Democrat. was re-

sure Of two, one in Delaware, where a
Democratic legislature will choose the
successor Of Richardson, Republican,
and one in New Jersey, where Will

is assured election. Beyond these
the results are still inconclusive.
In Colorado Democratic claims are
that the two Democratic candidates
for United States senators will be
swept in with the successes of Wilson
and the state ticket, but this is not
conceded b! the opposing managers.

The same situation prevails in

Elected.
Chicago, Nov. Illinois remained
in the Progressive column on the
vote for presidential electors by bare
ly $4,000, with a third of the state yet
to ! hear from. Governor Wilson
gained 10000 on the plurality of 26,477
Colonel Roosevelt was given by Chi
cago and the reports coming in show
the governor slowly gaining.
Governor Deneen apparently is rele-
gated to third place in the contest for
the governorship of Illinois. Edward
F. Dunno, the Democratic candidate,
apparently is elected by a decisive
plurality.
The complexion Of the state legis-
lature shows the Progressives and So
cialists holding the balance OF power
,on joint ballot. Nine Progressives
were elected to the legislature, ninety
seven Democrats and ninety-six Re-
publicans.
