the East Indies by sailing westward. Cabot and his packers immediately decided to accom- fish the same thing and on May ?, 1497, he set out with Sebastion, two other sons, of whom nothing is known, and eighteen men, in little ship called the Mathew.
 At last. after being fifty-two days at sea, at five o'clock on Saturday morning, June 24, 1497, they reached the nothern extremity of Cape Bres, ton Island. North America had been discovered but John Cabot, finding the soil fertile and the climate pleasant. was firmly convinced that he had reached the northwestern coast of Asia, from where came the silks an.l precious stones that he had seen at Mecca. The royal banner was un- furled, and in solemn form he took possession of the country in the name of King Henry VII, of England.
 On his return to Bristol in August he hastened to court, where the king gave him $50 for having found the new isle"
 The following year Cabot made a second voyage of discovery, hoping this time to secure of the fablel riches of the East. But he sailed toe far to the north, and was finally fore ed to return without having realized his dream. He died the same year 149S.
 His son Sebastian was born at Bris- tol, England, in 1477, and accompanied his father on his first voyage to North America. After the death of John Cabot, Sebastian made many voyages to both North and South ! America. He died in 1517

A LTHOUGH it was Columbus 4 'A who discovered the land of the hemisphere. North America was really discovered by the Cabots, John and his son Sebastian. And it is interesting to note that. while all three of these men were Italians, their great discoveries were made under the flags Of foreign countries. Columbus, who never knew that he had found a new land. but believed always that he had reached Asia. served the king of Spain. The Cabots were in the employ of English merchants.

Giovanni Caboto. or John Cabot as he is called, was a native of the same town as Columbus. being born in Genoa in 1450. Most people think that that Columus was the only man Of his time to believe that the earth was round; but there were many others who had the same idea, among them being John Cabot. Full of this idea, he moved to London about 1iS6. He submitted his proposition to the lead ing merchants of Bristol, England and met instant encouragement.
 For many years Cabot tried to carry out his plans to reach Asia by sailing west: but all his attempts ended in failure. And then in. 1493 the news reached England that q sailor named Columbus had reached

SCENE CANNOT
 BE FORGOTTEN Chief Breiner, of Local De- partment, Returns From
 Fire Stricken City.
HE VIEWED THE RUINS
Says Water Pressure Was Low When Plugs Were Left Open By
 Bremen Who Fled.

Chief A. c. Breiaer, of the local fire department; returned last night from Hot Springs, where he spent Saturday viewing the ruins of the fire of Friday afternoon and night. While iii Hot Springs Chief Breiler visited the different sections of the city where the fire laid waste large areas and says the scene is one never to be forgotten. Block after block is a smouldering mass of eharred and burned brick, bent steel and crum bled concrete, while in the sections of the city where the buildings were mostly brame, banks of white ashes are all that is left of the houses.
 Chief Breiner went to Hot Springs for the purpose of ascertaining the cause of the fire, why it spread as rapidly as it did and what effort was made to check the spread. The fire originated in a negro house and spread because of a high wind which prevailed at the time. The water pressure on the fire hydrants was good at the beginning of the blaze, but as the wind carried sparks and burning brands to adjacent buildings, all frame was dry as finder, the fire men were competed at several points to abandon their lines of hose and seek safety in flight. These plugs were left open for hours, which gradually reduced the pressure and when the pumping station was de- stroyed, the firemen were helpless against the raging conflagration. Chief Breiner says the volunteers sistant Chief Charles Burns, were handicapped from the fact that the hose couplings of the Little Rock De partment are of a different size and thread to the hose and plugs in use in Hot Springs, therefore they had much trouble in making connections to the fire plugs in the City oi Vapors.
 The Hot Springs Department lost practically every section of it's fire hose and an order for 5000 feet oI new hose was telegraphed in yester day before his departure.
 The fire in Hot Springs is consid cred the largest and hardest fire tt extinguish ever, experienced in thi: state by Chief Breiner, who has kep a record and been close observer O fires and fire fighting methods fol years.

Vienna, Sept. 6.-The financial difficulties of Princess Louise of Co., burg. daughter of the late King Leo bold II of Belgium, are evoking much interest in this city. Dr. Walter In noffen, Berlin lawyer, has filed criminal information against her, charging her with obtaining money under false pretenses. Dr. lnnoffen, who is wealthy, alleges that he be- came acquainted with the princess when she spent the year of 1909 in Berlin, and that he sold her four horses for $5,000, receiving notes in paSment. The Princess later hold the horses in Hungary, forgetting to pay the notes. Dr. Innoffen further alleges that the princess and her companion eza Mattasitch former officer in the Austrian army, with whom she is now living, obtained large loans from him on the strength of letters from per sons of high rank, including Kaiser Wilhelm. He asserts that the Prin cess obtained the last loan falsely representing that she had furs wortf | $10,000 in storage. Dr. Innoffen ant wife, who had become attached to tht princess, then made further advances to her, in order to enable her to pay hotel bill of long stading, after fur ther service had been denied her. IT order to do this he had to mortgage his share in coffee business in Der lin.
 Reza MattasitCh, the companion o1 the princes, served four years of six year term for forgery, the Emperor Franz Josef having remitted two years of the sentence Mattasitch was cushioned from the army and for bidden to use any title of nobility but he continued to term himself a count.

Henry Williams of the Yankees, who seems to be quite an indetermi- nate quantity is the only first base man worth mentioning who has been broken in by the American League. Derrelle Pratt of the Browns, has turned into a crack second baseman as the.result of his last years experi ence. Roger Peskinpaugh has done the same as shortstop since being sent by the Maps to the Yankees. It is not even stretching matters to call him the best fielding shortstop in the American League. Fritz Maisel, his expensive mate, is the shiftiest third base development of the season.
 American League outfielders, who look like the goods are Larry Chappell, of the White S Jx. Memo Leibold Of the Maps an(! Flash Gilhooley, of the Yankees.
 Within Inc next few years, just as sure as you live, at least half of these youngsters wentjoned, will be con- ceded by all to be the real stars of the game. This is. of course, if a doz- en or two new Walter JOhnson's, Ty Cobbs anC Hans Wagners are not ferreted out in the meantime. Things are so advancing these days that speculation is a hazardous matter.

GAMBLING CASINOS
 TO BE REOPENED

Brussels Sept 6.-lt seems certain that next year will see the reopening of the gambling Casinos at Belgium's two principal health resorts-Ostend and Spa.
 Under the law passed on October 24, 1902. all the gambling casinos and clubs were suppressed, and there was at the time great outcry on the sub ject. The very existence of Ostend as a health resort was said to be threat ened. and there is no doubt that since the law of suppression the town has never entirely regained it's old popu- larity.
 Mainly owing to the hardships caus- ed to investors, who, before the law of 1902, had laid out millions of money in the towns, and to the loss sustained by these two health resorts, a new law in abrogation of the law of 1902 has been introduced in favor of Ostend and Spa. This new law, if passed. will dutAOl lAC tAC SOuANiio VI sAASoN NO'A AAS to permit the establishment of a gambling club or casino, provided:
 l. That persons domiciled in each of these towns are forbidden to play, and
 2. That 55 per cent of the profits arising therefrom are paid to charities namely 20 per cent for the building of national cheap dwellings,, and B per cent for old age pensions.
 In addition, 9 per cent of such profits must be paid to the town coun- cil to be spent on public services and in advertising the town as a season resort. This will, therefore, only leave 20 per cent of the profits for the promoters of the casino.
 Already the proposed law has been approved by large majority of the commission charged to examine it., and there is little doubt that it will be passed this year

ASK FOR RECEIVER
Kansas Farmers Start Suit in
Federal Courts.
Claim Independent Harvester
Company Sells Stock Only.

Hutchinson, Kan, June 20.-Five
| Kansas farmers, who own stock in the
| Independent Harvester company OF
Plano, Ill, have instituted proceedings
in the federal court for a receivership
| of the corporation.
Charges of fraud misa
| of funds and mismanagement are pre-
! ferred against the officials of the COM
pany, sensational allegations being
! made in the petition for the receiv-
ership.
The Kansas farmers who are plain
ttffs are. o. NJ. Hager of Lewis, Fred
G. Hager and Peter Smith of Kinsley
and H. A. Kfrchner of Coffey county
Two other plaintiffs reside in Iowa
both of Wright county.
The case has been instituted in the
United States court for the northern
Illinois district. A motion is set for
hearing June 25.
1t is alleged that while the indie
pendent Harvester company is nomi-
nally in the harvesting machine manu-
featuring and sales business, that the
principal business has been the sale
of stock. The common stock, amount
ing to 100000, which alone has vot-
ing power, is said to be held by the
prom oters and officers. The stock that
is sold to the farmers, of which So,
600, 600 worth has been auth orized, has
no voting power. and is known s
preferred machinery stock" No divi-
dendS have ever been issued on this
stock, it is alleged
The Kansas farmers who are plain
tiffs in the proceeding hold from one
to ten shares each in the companys
preferred machinery stock. They
have no voice or vote in the affairs
of the company, and so far have drawn
no dividends.
There are approximately 1000
stockholders, scattered through Kan
sas, Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois. The
company's agents sold a large amount
of the stock in Kansas to farmers I'M
til barred from the state some time
ago by the "blue sky law. 1t is al
legged that the selling of stock on enor-
nous commissions was the large end
of the business the manufacturing
end being largely farmed out.
The company is at the present time
under investigation by federal author
tiles. The company's plant is at Plano,
Ill, but the head offices are located
at Chicago.

GOOD ROADS FOR SYRACUSE.
Business Men Get Busy and Open Up
New Trade Territory.

Syracuse, Kan, June 20.-Syracuse
business men have convinced them
selves of the value of good roads as
trade getters. A large trade territory
southwest of here and south of the
Arkansas river is almost cut off from
the towns on the north bank of the
river by an extensive sandhiI section.
Syracuse merchants put in a bid for
the trade of this territory by building
good roads through the sandhills at
great expense. They have for months
received the trade and are well repaid.
Holly, Colo, their competitor for
this trade, noticed a rapid decrease in
the trade it received from this section.
Holly merchants sent representatives
into the territory to investigate and
learned that good roads brought the
trade to Syracuse. Holly merchants
are now urging their county commits
sioners to take advantage of the flexi-
BILE Colorado good roads law and build
model roads into this section.
