6ALLooNlSTS, THOUGHT LOST,
LAND SAFELY.
Message to Their Home in Kansas
City Indicates They Have
Been Held Prisoners.

Kansas City, Mo.-George M.
Myers, president of the Kansas
City Aero Club, received a cablegram
from John Watts, pilot of the balloon
Dusseldorf, one of the entrants in the
international balloon race, which
started from. Stuttgart, Germany, stat
ing he had landed at Pskov, Russia,
a hort distance from st. Petersburg,
and that both Watts and his aid, Ath-
erholt, were we'll.
The cablegram received by Myers
read: Both well and free.--Watts."
Although a cipher code had been
agreed upon, the message was not in
code.
Myers believes that Watts and his
aid, Arthur Atherholt, have been held
prisoners by Russian authorities.
with the maps which Watts had"
said Myers, "he must have known
that he had crossed the Baltic Sea. l
believe that he landed not later than
Tuesday evening. He must have
known that he was in a wild country
and would scarcely stay up another
night.
He probably came to earth many
miles from the place where he sent
this message. l know of no reason
why he would not have used the
cipher agreed upon unless the author
tiles refused to allow him to send a
ciphergram. The use of the word
free in the cablegram looks like a
hint that they had been prisoners"

MISSOURI
BOAT LINE FINDS TRADE.
New Enterprise on Missouri River
Serves 800 Cities and Towns

Fulton.--The Missouri river boat
line is now serving more than 300
cities, towns and rural communities
along the 408 miles of river between
Kansas City and st. Louis.
None of the river boats stop at all
Of these points on a single trip, but
as the two towboats and their barges
and the packet Chester ply up and
down the river they stop at Niger
Bend Light, Chicken Point, Hellbush
Bend, Green's Bottom or some other
points to unload merchandise, or take
on cattle OF grain as business re-
luires.
The boats are now carrying pota-
toes and onions to Kansas City from
some of those farming communities.
Recently one of the steamers on q
down-rlver trip stopped at Heck
nlann's Island and took aboard forty
nine cattle for the St. Louis market.
The names of many points along
the river between Kansas City and st.
Louis are relics of the days of French
traders, and of the American pioneers
that followed them into the West.
There Is Crazy Bend, a distinctively
American title; Corn Island. Slaugh-
Ter House Chute and a hundred 9th
ers, while the French is preserved in
L'Outre Island, Bouef Creek, Ttgue
Creek Carbonnier Bend and similar
names.

BATTLE SHIPS TO TURKEY
TENNESSEE AND MONTANA TO
PROTECT AMERICANS.
President and Cabinet Confer on Like
lihood of European Scramble for
Territory of Sultan.

Washington, d. C.-President Taft
ordered the battle ships Tennessee
and Montana to sail at ace to the
Mediterranean for the protection Of
American missionaries and educators
at Beirut and Smyrna. The American
ambassador at Constantinople has
been ordered to confer with his Euro
pean colleagues to take any measures
that may be necessary If by chance
conditions Of turbulence affecting the
safety of foreigners in Turkey should
arise.
Both the armored cruisers are at
the Philadelphia navy yard.
Decision to send American war yes
sells to the scene of the Balkan trou-
bles was made at a conference be-
tween the president and his cabinet.
The dispatch marks a complete
change of the attitude of the United
States toward the Turkish situation.
Heretofore the state department has
relied entirely on the six great Euro
pean powers, parties to the agreement
for the maintenance of status quo in
the Balkans, for the protection of
Americans.
Recent reports received here, how
ever, indicated that the Infatuated
Moslems, stirred by successive de-
feats at the hands of their enemies,
may seek revenge by Staying all for
eigners.
The situation has become SO acute
that the president does not care to
risk reliance on the European powers
to protect Americans. Moreover, the
general view among diplomats waa
that there might be a general scram-
BILE for Turkish territory as an after
math of the war, in which powers
might overlook the necessity for pro
tecting citizens of other nations than

appeared 20 Years Ago.

Jacksonville, Illinois.-Mrs. Pan
sy Ellen Hastings-Lesh, who con-
fessed Saturday to the police in Los
Angeles that several years ago she
had poisoned Mrs. L. M. Quanntance
of Green Ridge, Mo-, and Mrs Eliza
A. Coe of Sedalia, Mo, is the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs, Hiram N. Has
tings, former residents of Jackson
vile.
The mother was Cora Luttrell, a
daughter of J.. M. Luttrell of Morgan
county, who died last May, leaving an
estate Of $4,000. Pansy Hastings
was brought to Jacksonville by her
parents from Lynnville, ILL.,, when 2
years cd.
One evening Mrs. Hastings went to
a party and left the child with Mrs.
Hamilton of Jacksonville, a sister of
MI. Luttrell, to keep until she re-
turned. Her husband thought she had
gone to a neighbours to stay all night.
The next morning he went to Mrs.
Hamilton's home and learned that the
mother had never called for the child.
A search was instituted for the lost
mother. The case was put in the
hands of police officials and the coun-
try was searched in this and adjoining
states. The report came that she was
in Denver about two years later, but
a diligent search there brought, moth
ing.
Her sudden disappearance twenty
years ago never has been solved.
Since the death of Mr.. Luttrell, a
search had been made for her, but her
whereabouts rel not discovered TN
til her confession in, Los Angeles.
The part of the estate that should
have gone to her mother will fill to

OTHERS KNOW US TOO WELL
Easy to Deceive Ourselves, but the
Rest Of the World Is Generally
Too Wise.

Senator Pomerene has a happy
knack OF driving home a statement
with an epigram.
At a luncheon Senator Pomerene
described a would-be l~itterateur.
Thanks to whisky and strong
cigars" he said. the poor fellow has
failed to make good. He earns a pre-
carious living by newspaper work,
but, though he is so now, none of the
wondrous novels and thrilling stories
that he used to pirate about have ap-
peared.
"And yet. in his shabby apartment,
cver a bottle of cheap liquor and a
box of cheap cigars, he will boast by
the hour-poor. gray, wrinkled duffer
of his unfinished MSS. oh, they
will appear yeti Yes, he will yet IL
lumine the world with the light OF his
genius"
Senator Pomerene sighed and con-
cluded:
"Ah, If we could deceive others as
easily as we deceive ourselves, what
regulations we'd all have, to be sure!"
