Special to the Star


ST.. LOUIS Oct. 10.-Telegrams are con-
tinually received in regard to the missing
aeronauts, but nothing comes in tangible
shape, and at best people can now only ex-
press opinions. Some of the friends of Mr..
Burr are of the opinion that the two men
were thrown out of the balloon at point
not far from this city, perhaps in the woods
of Illinois, and, the air-ship being thus
lightened, additional buoyancy was given
it, and with wonderful speed it travelled in
the direction of the great lakes. This theory
appears to be the one accepted as rule
among those personally concerned in the
welfare of Professor Wise and Mr. Burr.


GLASGOW, KY, Oct. 10.-Night before last
balloon, from whence it is not known,
passed over this city at vast height. 1t
was large balloon, and carried a light in
the basket. by which its course could be
followed for about an hour Many think
it may have been Wise.

entertain each other with the small talk
of society, but it is rare in comparison
that we sit down with one who seems

problem of life. They do not want to
be burdened with opinions which are
only formed as the result Of thought,
and which may compel them to some
positive actions or to sacrifice. They
would get their views as they get din

For winter feeding, where cattle are

no better divisor for corn meal than
wheat bran. It is also cheap, and fur

the bulk of feed in bran to three-quar.

For horses doing fast work, oats fad

That there is no longer donbt as to

evidence of most respectable authorities
both at home and abroad. Feeders in
