AGAIN IN JAIL

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 2S. - Cap
tain Martineson of the local police
force picked up a man who goes by
the name of H. Stephenson and
placed him in the city Jail. Stephen
son has been acting in a suspicious
manner for the past two or three
nights and the captain has been
watching him.
Stephenson has only been released
from the penitentiary for about three
weeks after serving his second SEN
tence. He vas sent up the first time
from Fargo and served five years, aft
er having been convicted of an at
tempted assault on a little girl, and
the second time he was convicted at
jamestown on the same charge, and
sentenced to seven years, which SEN
tence he has just completed.
Sunday night Martineson saw him
approach a little girl about eight. years
of age and gave her some n and
when Martineson questioned the girl
she said that she had never seen the
man before and that he had given her
the money, 10 cents, and old her ia

and play.
When the man was arrested We'd
Eesday night he stated that he had
no wrong ideas in giving the girl the
money or in speaking to her, but had
simply taken a liking to the child.
Captain Martineson, however, did
rot like the mans actions and know
ing his former record thought that
the best place for him was the city
bastile.
He will probably have a hearing to-
day before the police magistrate.

BALLOON IN THUNDERSTORM.

American Magazine: After supper
was over and u things slowed away,
we noticed what seemed to be occa-
slonal flashes of heat-lightntng far off on
the horizon, but we thought little of it,
Soon these became frequent, and we
saw that a storm was gathering, but,
as it was far to one side Of the diFec-
ton in which we are going, we
thought it would pass around us. How
ever. we began to hear the rumble of
thunder and knew that the tempest
was nearing. The air grew chill, and
before we could realize what was hap
pening the balloon pitching and sway
ing, was sucked into q mighty vortex
where amidst the deafening roar of the
thunder and the l~ightning's vivid glare,
surging and swinging and spinning
around and around, the balloon shot
right up into the very heart of a cy-
clone. Every flash of lightning blind
ed us, and each clap of thunder felt
like the blow of a mighty hammer on
the side Of the car. We had to hold to
the edge Of the basket to keep from be-
ing hurled out. The balloon, bouncing
and tossing, rose and fell thousands of
feet with frightful rapidity to the
whirl of the maelstrom.
We rose $4,000 feet-oyer two miles,
and then cast out ballast to try to ride
above the storm, but it was impossible.
We lost all control of the balloon
usually so amenable to guidance, 1T
was now like a. chip in the gorge of
Niagara. It's upward rushes were like
those Of a rocket through q darkness

to a binding glare Is the lightning,
more vivid than we had ever seen
turned night into a strange and lurid
day. For we were not watching the
, lightning from afar, as one does on the
earth. where 1t is like a light seen
through a window-we were inside of
it, enveloped in its binding glow.
Through a rift in the clouds we
caught sight Of the earth far below,

and saw that we were dashing down
ward with such violence that it seemed
Is If the ground were rushing up at
us. We saw too that the basket was
going to strike. Just as the shock
came we pulled the valve-rope, and the
huge balloon started on a mad dash
across the fields, dragging us with ter
rife speed after 1t. l crawled out in
to the concentrating ring at the risk OF

Grasping the rip-cord, L pulled it with

fingers, and tore off a ring I was wear
ing, taking the flesh with it. Just
then my companion, Mr.. Harmon, near
ly fell out, and pulling i'm in we
crouched at the bottom of the basket.

right through two barbed-wire fences,
tearing down two telegraph lines,
smashing a telephone pole to splinters,
bounding on into a patch Of woods,

QUICKLY CURES The
WORST BACKACHE
Makes Kidney Troubles, Bladder
Disorders, and Rheumatic
Pains Vanish,

one to suffer with backaching, kid

with, or be tortured with rheumatism,
stiff joints, and its heart-wrenching
pains, for the new discovery. Crox-

such troubles.
Croxone is the most wonderful
remedy yet devised for Kidding the
system Of uric acid and driving out
all the poisonous impurities which
cause such troubles. 1t is entirely diff
ferent from all other remedies. 1t is
not like anything else eve used for
the purpose. It acts on the principle
of cleaning out the poisons and re-
moving the &
1t soaks right in through the walls,
membranes and Innings, like water In
a sponge, ~neutralizes, dissolves, and
makes the kidneys sift out and filter
away, all the uric acid and poisons
from the blood, and leaves the kid
neys and urinary organs clean, strong,
healthy, and well.
It matters not how long o have
suffered, how old YOU are, or what
you have used, the very principle of
Croxone is such, that it is practically
impossible to take it into the human
system without results. There is
nothing else on earth like 1t. 1t
starts to work the minute you take it
and relieves you the first time you
use it.
If you suffer with pains in your
