HISTORY OF
FAMOUS EXPEDITION.
The history of George Rogers Clark's
expedition into Indiana is a romantic
and thrilling one.
In May, 1778, Clark, with $50 men,
went from the head waters of the Ohio
River down to the place where Louisville
now is situated. Here the first unfolded
his actual plans to his men. Some de-
serted when they learned what was be-
fore them, but a number of settlers
Joined the company, so that 153 men
started down the Ohio on June "a Of that
year. They landed ten miles below the
mouth of the Tennessee River and
marched overland 120 miles to Kaskas-
kia. which was situated on the Missis-
sippi River. some miles south of the
present location Of st. Louis, but on the
Illinois side. Kaskaskia and the neigh
boring fort of Cahokia were taken by
~Urprise, surrendering without bloodshed.

power among his own people, and
him with a few other Frenchman
.icennes in an attempt to win the
French settlers to the American cause.
This was successful and the American
flag was then first raised on Indiana soil.
1t remained over Fl. Sackville at Vim
cennes from July until December when,
in the absence of an American garrison,
a company Of British soldiers again took
possession.
In January Col. Francis vigo brought
news Of the reoccupaton Of Vincennes by
q British force under General Hamilton.
Three courses were now open to Clark;
he could retreat to a saffk position; he
could remain ct Kaskaskie and risk be-
ing attacked by superior numbers from
vincennes and Detroit in the spring; or
he could make an attempt to accomplish
the seemingly impossible feat of surpris-
ing the British while they were com

The transit line was the cause Of the
horror; the mere breaking Of the eleva-

still feel there must have been some
sensible and necessary reason for the
Roma flying so low over uncleared ter

earth after the control cable broke. Such
an accident could have been handled by
mechanics in midair."

SCARED TOO
NEAR EARTH.

THE Roma courted catastrophe in
skirting the earth" the Italian expert
declared. Colonel Guidoni is thoroughly
familiar with the technique employed in
the construction of the Roma, as he had
studied 1t in the making IN Italy.
1.-THE danger in flying too low was
never more forcefully demonstrated than
in the sad fate of the Roma, the loss of
whose precious human freight is felt
most keenly by my government and by
my people," Colonel Guidon1 said.
Great commentator was given the
command and crew Of the Roma by Col
onel Guidoni, who asserted he knew most
OF them personally. II am firm in my be-
lief that the accident was not caused by
the failure on the part of the command
to execute their difficult task in the most
expert fashion," Guidoni said. They
could have done nothing more than they
did, considering the height at which they
were flying. There was no time and no
use in shutting of the engines; there was
not enough distance between the ship
and the ground to right her in time. Had
the charged transit wire not been struck
there would have been no fire and no ex-
blossoms. Had they had greater distance
to fall they could easily have righted
the ship.

COMPROMISE ON BONUS.
PASSES UPPER HOUSE
Measure Likely to Pass Both
Branches at Once; Sure
Of Harding Veto.

Washington, Sept 15.--Without a
roll-cau the House adopted yesterday
the conference report on tho Bonus
bill. which eliminated the reclamation
fea tures and the provision TO pay the
bonuses out OF payments on the for
cign loan. The Senate is>expected TO
act upon the report in advance OF the
tariff agreement.
Representative Frank w. Mondell,
Republican floor leader. and several
other Western members unsuccessful
ly attacked the report on . point OF
order. Mr.. Mondell insisted that the
agreement reached by the conferees
striking out the reclamation sections
Of both the Houee' and Senate bfll was
a violation Of conference rules and es-
tablkhed dangerous precedent. His
attack gained very little sympathy and
after the ruling by the Speaker that
the conferees were within the rules to
eliminate the reclamation sections, In
terest In the struggle ended.
Although an hours debate was as
signed to the discussion, less than
twenty-five minutes was consumed
and the House adopted the report while
many members were at luncheon.

rear quite as keen a. In times past. The

ferees had eliminated the so-callet
simmons provision that the bonus
payments should be made from the In
tercet and principal, received on the
foreign loan.
I'VE eliminated this. which offered g

bad it was difficult for me to get around.
The pains were so severe / could not
walk any distance and in going down
the steps had to take it sideways. This
continual nagging pain went all the
harder with me because my health
otherwise has always been excellent.
"Mv first bottle of Tanlac helped me
so greatly that l bought bottle after
