Th Jljl Is th only newspaper commenting on the incident. It first , dis cusses and then dismisses It as "absurd even for Russia, which has shown want of wisdom and discretion several times." The suggestions are mad that th crews of the squadron desire a pretext for their recall from th hazardous oriental cruise or that Russia desires to save lbs fata by involving Great Britain. Than th paper proceeds: The most likely explanation of th out rageous action of the squadron la found In the fact that some days ago. owing to a rumor that Japanese vessels laden with explosives had been reported in the Danlih strait, the Danish authorities sent an escort with the RuBMan squadron to prevent any violation of Danish neutrality. We kno nothing of the supposed dispatch of our ships to that quarter, but It is likely that the Rupslan ships apprehending an attack by the Japanese out of excessive fear mis took the trawlers for Japanese ves-toli sinking mines and attacking them wluou'. making any Inquiry.

Machine Makes an Unannounced Ascension at St. Lonii. PASSES OVER EXPOSITION AND CITY Mas la Chars Demonstrates that Car la Completely Inder Hla Coatrol I'ntll Cbala Belt Cornea Off. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 25. Propelled part of the way by Its own power and the re mainder of the distance by the wind, which was blowing at the rate of about nine or ten miles an hour, the airship of Thomas 8. Baldwin of San Francisco, In charge of A. Roy Knabenshue of Toledo, O., made an unannounced ascension from the aeronautic concourse at the Wor'.d's fair today and landed nar Cnhokla. 111., fL distance of nearly ten miles, after a flight that attracted the attention of thou sands of persons, who cheered almost con tinuously as the big flying machine passed over the exposition grounds, left the resi dence section of St. Louis far beneath it, and soared high above the towering office buildings of the business district. Clinging to the frame work of the car, his pre carious foothold an iron tube that forms one side of the base of the triangular network of supports and ribs of the air ship's body, Knabenshue directed the movements of his flylnj machine nnd maneuvered in circles and against the wind, high over the monster exhibit pa' aces of the exposition, before the accident to 'his motor which rendered the big fan like propellers useless and curtailed his command of the airship. Notwithstanding the breaking of the motor Knabenshue did not lope complete control of the machine, but with the mo mentum given by the wind he was enabled to steer the machine In a course that varied several points from the trend of the wind and landed at a point of his own selection. SlKhtseers Are Surprised. There was a comparatively small crowd at the aerodrome when the flight began. The trlpfrom the starting point to the main part of the exposition grounds was also unnoticed by the thousands of fair visitors that thronged the exposition. In this manner the appearance of the airship several hundred feet In the air, sailing over the Transportation building, came a a surprise to the hundreds of sightseers,' but within ten minutes of Its discovery thou sands were watching with breathless li .er est as Knnbenshuc, who was plainly dis cernible, caused the flying machine to turn this way and that at his will. Slowly the airship turned, and breasting the wind, made progress In the direction from which it had come. Again did the big' cigar shaped balloon turn at the command of the daring man at ' the helm, and once more It soared above the exposition build ings on Its way to the Cascades, where hundreds of cheering spectators marked Its flight from the Plasa St. LouK In attempt ing to make the second turn, the acci dent to the motor occurred, but almost Instantly Knabenshue gained control of the machine and steered a stiaight course, a little east of southeast. After he had landed Knabenshue stated that when he found he could control the movements of the airship even after, the motor was useless he determined to make the test a fair one, and decided to effect a landing on the east side of the "Mississippi .river. j , Steering his balloon so that he could gain the best speed from the wind Knabenshue directed Its course over the southwestern residence district of St. Louis', where Its presence was soon discovered and Its prog ress marked by thousands who rushed from their homes to seo the first airship that has navigated the. vicinity of St. Louis. Passing rapidly eastward the Arrow, the nam Baldwin has given his airship, reached the downtown district, where Its appearance was the signal for the greatest excitement. . Clerks deserted their desks, street cars were stopped and practically nil business was suspended while the airship passed Over the city. From ltB movements the spectators could not determine whether the propellers were working, as the big ship seemed to respond to every demand made by Its navigator and to change Its course at will, not at the vagaries of the wind. Although then nearly a mile high Kna benshue could be Been, occasionally moving backward and forward on his dangerous standing place, keeping his ship under con trol and directing Its movements either up ward or downward, as he desired. Crosses Mississippi River. From the Missouri side he passed to the Illinois shore of the Mississippi river, and having completed his self-imposed task, he headed toward . Cahokia and brought his airship, to the ground about half a mile from that little hamlet. When within about ten feet of the earth Knabenshue threw out his grapple and ono of the hooks caught In a large tree stand ing on the edge of a clearing and the large body settled slowly to the ground, resting lightly on its framework. Immediately after landing Knabenshue stated that In his opinion the trial of the airship was a distinct success. He said that he could have brought the flying ma chine to the ground at any time, but that as he could to a certain extent control Its movements, and that as he considered him self In no danger, he decided to continue the flight and demonstrate that even though the motor was broken that the Arrow could be controlled.

One of the fhlef.new features of the machine is an arrangement whereby the ship Is pulled through the air. Instead .of being pushed. Thomas S. Baldwin-, owner of the airship, stated' to the Associated Press that Kna benshue had made the trial, ascent today Instead of himself because of the former's slighter weight. "But I'll go up myself in a few days," added Mr. Baldwin., "And I'll show you something startling In demonstration of aerial navigation and maneuvering." Th .Arrow, Baldwin ays, is the lightest aerial craft yet designed, the combined weight being between SnO and 400 pounds.

P. TO BUY GREAT WESTERN iaeai Resort Comes frm St. Paal, bat So Details Are Gtvea. 8T. PAUL, Oct. 25. The Dispatch today says: "It Is stated here on apparently reliable Information that th Union Pacific railway has secured an option on th Chi cago Oreat Western railway property. No details are given nor la a confirmation obtainable here. President Stlckney when asked by th As sociated Press to confirm the rumor that the Union Pacific railway had an option on the Great Western, said: "I have nothing to say for publication." Great Western Accredits Local railroad representatives manifested the liveliest interest In this report. It Is generally understood among railroad men that the road is on the market. President Stickney Is quoted as having said, less than a year ago: "The property Is for sale If anyone has the price." The Union Pacific haa-reciprocal relations with the Northwestern and the Illinois Central which glv the road direct entranc Into Chicago and the arrangements are almost as perfect and satisfactory as though the Union Paclfio owned the tracks. The Great Western would give it direct connections with Minneapolis and Kansas City and with Chicago and Omaha over Its own lines. , "f would not ba- surprised to learn that the report is truej'"-sald a Great Western mun, who refused to have his name used. "I would not- be surprised to learn it Is merely a rumor, - w are prepared for any thing In that line, knowing as we do Presi dent 8Uckney's frequently expressed opin ion in the matter. It is not Mr. Stlckney's intention to force the road on the market, but the company has Its price and the road can be bought If other Interests want to put up the money and take it off Stlckney's hands. It undoubtedly would be a valuable acquisition to the Union Pacific's property. It would be nothing unusual for the road to make such a purchase. It is well known that Harrlman owns the controlling interest in the San Pedro, Los Angeles A Salt Lake road, which It acquired a year ago, and why Is It unreasonable to expect th pres ent deal?" Union Paclfio Official Talks. . A Union Pacific official, who also asked that his name be withhold, sold: "I don't want to be quoted In the matter, but while I would not be surprised at such a move for obvious reasons, I doubt if it Is true. Frankly, I fail to comprehend where the Union Paclfio would gain any benefit between hero and Chicago. It already has direct entrance into that city over th Northwestern and the Illinois Central, and the arrangements with those roads ar of the most friendly and satisfactory char acter. The Great . Western Is no direct competitor of oujs, although I must con fess it would be a factor in strengthening the rate situation west of Chicago. I think when, the matter is sifted down the story will be found to be a sharp bull movement started for the purpose of advancing Great Western stock. The stock is owned largely by foreign capitalists .and there is not much stock upon tho market, but I believe enough has .been -changing harJds so the owners are willing-to let go at a profit. The road always has been reaarded as s speculative venture., The present ', stock holders feel some- system will want the road badly enough, when the proper time comes to pay a good price for It, and when the tlnie does .coma,. I believe President Stickney will not; be. found a reluctant seller." , i .ijijjj f President Stickney upon the -occasion of his last visit tft ths qlty had with nlra an tsngusn stockholder ,of the, company. This visit In the light, of the present rumors Is now regarded as paving had some signifi cance. President . Stickney in explanation of the visit said the Englishman . was a personal friend, a. large stockholder in the road and that he Jiad. made the trip across the water simply,. to look over the prop erty. . The Great Western has 604 miles of track between Omaka, and Chicago. The length of tho Milwaukee between the two termi nals Is 492 miles and that of the North western 493 miles, a difference, of about twelve miles In favor of the two last named roads. Trains leavlns the Union station over the . Great Western tracks at 4:50 p. m reach Chicago at 8:66 the next morning. Trains leaving over the Milwaukee at 8:20 reach Chicago the. next morning at S o'clock and those over the Northwestern leaving at 6:60 o'clock reach Chicago at 7:18. the next morning. Northwestern Mam's Views. A Northwestern man In speaking of th possible absorction of th Great ' Western said: ; '. "While I question the accuracy of the story it is not outsld th realm of possi bility.! The Union' Paclfio has no ambitions in that direction' so far as I know and would gain nothing so far as entrance Into Chicaco la concerned, but It practically bought the San Pedro road, although the Hurrlman system already had an entrance into San Francisco and Los Angeles. It would not be a strange nor surprising thing to find it had bought the Great Western. I think you will find but one opinion as to the probable effect such a deal would have on freight rates. It would stop much of the persistent slashing which has been car. rled on by the Great Western for years, and It would remove' on competitor for th business between her and Chicago. While the Great Western has not been alone as a rate demoralizer it has been fully as abtlv as any of the roads which hav disturbed the situation and western lines would ex perience no great regret at such a change." , COFFEE WAS IT reople Slowly Learn the Facts. "All my life I hav been such a slave to coffee that tho very aroma of It was enough to set my nerves quivering. I kept gradually losing my health, but I used to aay 'nonesensa' It don't hurt me. Slowly I was forced to admit th truth and the final result was that ny whole nervous force was shattered. "My heart became weak and uncertain In its action and that frightened me. Finally my physician told ma, about a year ago, that I must stop drinking coffee or I could never expect to be well again. "I was.

Finally I concluded that I owed it to myself to give Postum a trial. So I gota package and carefully followed the directions, and what a de licious, nourishing, rich drink It was. Do you know I found it very easy to shift from the coffee to Postum and not mind the change st a'.l.

VISITORS GREET TOWN WITH CANNON RctMrsta of Minnesota Town Meet Antelope State People, and Spirit of Good Fellowship Pie all All Aroaai. MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 26.-(SpecIal Tele gram.) When the 1,600 residents of Ne braska who constitute th Ak-Sar-Ben ex cursion precipitated themselves Into the 200,000 ropu1aton of Minneapolis this morn ing they made a atlr and commotion that enlivened the entire mass. The "Flour City" was Just waking up when the vlitin party arrived, but It was soon wide awake and sitting up to see what was doing. Th official special train on the Chicago Great Western, In three sections, arrived shortly before o'clock with Frank Dunlop In charge, and Its arrival was a marked Incident in the experience of Minneapolis. The visitors made it plain' from the time they arrived within the cny llmlta that they wer out for a hurrah time and they were met In the same spirit by the natives, who are rather Jealous of their own reputa tion for making a demonstration. With a whoop and a yell the Nebraska party pulled Into the depot and, with a Wild hurrah of welcome, they were met by a delegation of fifty or more members of the Minneapolis Commercial club and other organisation!, accompanied by Gus Rens, superintendent and advance guard of the Ak-Sar-Ben. Major Wilcox Faces Cannon. King Sampson Penfold and his loyal knights, although on a friendly visit, evi dently felt that It would be Just as well to be prepared fur any old thing and to Impress th natives with their warlike abilities, for they had brought their cannon with them. To demonstrate that the can non was no blufl the Invading party took it to Nicollet avenue and fired it off several times. Major Wilcox, on of their own number, although knowing th deadly na ture of the cannon, was so careless as to get in front of the business end of it and received the full charge of water and con fetti. The residents of Minneapolis, thoroughly aroused to fact that something was doing, Joined heartily in the demonstration, and for the remainder of the morning the neigh borhood of th Nlcolet house was no place for a person of nervous temperament. Th visiting- party took breakfast at the Nicollet house, which is headquarters, and then went to th city hall to be welcomed In formal manner by Mayor Haynes and the other city officials and members of the Commercial club. Mayor Greets Party. It was by the Invitation of Mayor Haynes that the Ak-Sar-Ben and Its friends had Journeyed to Minneapolis, and he fully made good the welcome he had promised. In a speech full of feeling Mayor Haynes referred to the royal entertainment he had received at the hands of the Knfghls of Ak-Sar-Ben when he was In Omaha to at tend their festival, and he spoke with par ticular emphasis of his experience in the city lockup, where he had been put to keep mm out of harm s way. H welcomed th visitors to the county Jail and the workhouse, a well as the Min neapolis city lockup, to show that bs was no piker, and told then! to have a good tlm and be would help them in any way he could. W, S. Bummers responded heartily to the mayor's speech of welcome and the key. not of his address was: ,"ln Nebraska w raise corn, but In. Minneapolis we Intend to raise hell. We are away from horn now and we have laid aside the serious duties of life to have a good tima and Intend to have it. We come to you of Minneapolis because we like you and we feel that you like us." Sampson Penfold accepted the keys of the city from Mayor - Haynes . with th promise thaT they would be returned In good order. , !Mogy" as chief rooter enlivened th ex ercises at the city hall by calling for cheers for Mayor Haynes and for different mem bers of the visiting party, and the Nebras kans cheered with a will that reverberated through the entire city hall. Entertainment for the Women. Louis Boatwick was with the party as official photographer and tok a number of pictures, among whloh was one of Alder men E. D. Evans and C. S. Huntington. The party was largely made up of women and after the exercises at the city hall they wer taken In charge by a number of the Mlneapolis women and taken automo bile riding. The Commercial club was thrown open to the visitors, men and women alike, and every effort was made to mane their stay in the city pleasant. In th afternoon th entire Ak-Sar-Ben ex cursion was taken for a trolley rids In special cars, under th guidance of the members of th Commercial club. Many of the Nebraskans returned to their homes this evening, but the greater proportion will remain for a day or two to visit St. Paul and see the sights of the Twin Cities at their leisure. A few will stay over for the Minnesota-Nebraska foot ball game on Saturday. JUDGE PARKER 19 GUEST OF HONOR Dinner at University Clnb Given for Democratic Candidate.

PARTY NOT PLAYING STOCK MARKET Neither Haa It Nor Mr. Rockefeller Attempted to Secnre the Nomina tlon of Any Candidates . for Office. - NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-S. C. T, Dodd, counsel for the Standard OH company, authorised today the following statement: In view of the many false and mislead ing statements from various sources, the directors of the Standard OH company deem It advisable to state to the company's shareholders and the publlo, that neither now or at any time has the Standard OH company, or any of Its constituent com panies been interested in any business not directly related with and necessary to the petroleum trade. Lt would be almost Impossible to designate In this denial the different classes of buslnpas with which irresponsible .. parties have coupled the Standard Oil company's name, but lt may not be amiss to specify copper, steel, banks, railroads and gas (other than natural gas), as being; most prominently mentioned. With none of these affairs has the Standard OH company been at any time connected. In dividual members of the Standard Oil com pany have been and are Interested as In dividuals In various enterprises, but lt Is entirely outside of the business of th Standard Oil company, which Is oil alone, unaffected by other Interests In which its stockholders may Invest. Neither is lt true that the Standard Oil company, Mr. John D. Rockefeller or any officer of the Stand ard OH company has taken part In securing- the nomination of any of tho candi dates for office as is so positively stated. Furthermore, It Is entirely untrue that there Is any "Standard Oil party" banded together for speculation In stocks, as Is so commonly charged. The name of the Stand ard Oil company is frequently used by de signing persons In the manipulation of the stock market, but its use Is unwarranted. The Standard OH company departs from Its usual custom hj making tnis aeniai ior wie reason that the statements being made at this time by newspapers, magazines and sensational public speakers, appear to be unusually mendacious and may, to a great extent, mislead the publlo.
