MR SHIPWRECKED
! TWENTY-EIGHT KILLED IN FALL
OF NAVY BALLOON.
DESCENT NINE HUNRED FEET
Everything Apparently in Good Order
When Accident* Happen*.—
Three Officer* Lo*e Live*.
Berlin.—Twenty-eight persons were
killed near Johannisthal in the explo
sion and fall of Count Zeppelin’s lat
est dirigible balloon, the ’’L II.”
The twenty-eight men represented
the entire personnel of the admiralty
board, which was to conduct the Anal
trial of the dirigible, looking to it*
acceptance by the government as a
new unit of the German aerial navy,
the pilot and crew and invited guests.
Every person that went aloft in the
big airship is dead.
Twenty-seven of them were killed
almost instantly by the explosion of
the gas in the balloonettes or burned
to death as the flaming wreck fell to
the ground from a height of 900 feet
and enveloped them. One man, Lieu
tenant Baron Von Bleul of the Queen
Augusta Grenadier guards, a guest
of the admiralty board, w^us extricat
ed alive from the mass of twisted
wreckage. ,
Beg* to Be Killed.
His eyes were burned out and he
suffered other terrible hurts. Begging
his rescuers to kill him and end his
sufferings he was taken to a hos
pital, where he died.
The "L II,” had it proved success
ful, would have been attached to the
aerial corps of the navy, which after
the fatalities now has only two men
trained to command airships.
The official report of the accident
says the explosion was due to the ig
nition of gas in or above the forward
gondola, but not within the body of
the airship.
The navy w-as not the only sufferer
through aviation accidents, for three
army officers were killed in aeroplane
flights—Captain Haeseler, Lieutenant
Koch and Sergeant Mante.
Bodies Horribly Burned.
Many of the bodies were so burned
and mangled as to be unrecognizable.
The admiralty trial board consisted
of seven officers, including Lieutenant
Commander Behnisch and Senior
Lieutenant Freiyer of the German
naval flying corps. The airship’s
pilot was Captain Gluth, a veteran
steersman in the employ of Count
Zeppelin.
Naval Constructors Neumann and
Pietzler and Naval Engineer Busch
were among those on board the ship.
Spectators who had been watching
the impressive maneuvers of the
“L II” from below suddenly saw the
great gas-bag burst into flames and
then fall. A second or two later the
sound of the terrible explosion
reached them.
It was impossible for some time to
approach the flaming dirigible, be
neath which the members of the crew
had been crushed and burned.
To Be Given Another Ship.
New York.—The unwritten, but al
most inexorable law of the seas,
which bars a captain who loses his
ship from being given another com
mand will not be applied to Captain
Francis Inch of the Volturno. The
officials of the Uranium line made it
known that the heroism of the young
skipper—his desperate, if losing fight
to save his vessel, and the irave l>art
he played in the battle Which result
ed In the saving of such a large pro
portion of the Voltumo’s passengers
and crew—will preserve him from the
fate of many a master whose ship the
sea has claimed. “The line needs men
like Inch," said Manager E. O. Thom
as today. “He will be given another
command.”
Jeff Tetreau to Wed.
New York—Charles Monroe “Big
Jeff” Tesreau, the New' York pitcher,
took out a marriage license to wed
Eleanor Elizabeth Blake of Rochester,
N. Y.
President Grants Pardon.
Washington—President Wilson to
day pardoned Thomas P. Bowman of
Wahpeton, N, D., sentenced in June,
1912, to five years’ imprisonment for
embezzlement from the Citizens’ Na
tional bank of Wahpeton. He was in
the Anamosa, la., reformatory.
Minister Admits Bigamy.
Chicago.—Married four times during
his career, according to his admis
sions, Kurt Mueller, aged 33, said to
be a Lutheran minister, is being held
by the police on a charge of bigamy
Wilson Pardons Banker.
Washington.—President Wilson par

peton, N. D„ sentenced in June, 1912,

Fined Under Anti-Gossip Act.
Appleton, Wis.—A woman was the
first person to be fined in Outagamie
county under the anti-gossip act. Mrs.
Rosa Lehn today paid a fine amount
ing to $21.80, after pleading guilty.
To Speak for Progressives.

weeks’ vacation. Part of the time he
will campaign for progressive candi
dates for governor in Massachusetts
and New Jersey. The governor wad

SHIPPED MANY EGGS
POULTRY INDUSTRY BIG ITEM ON
MANY NEBRASKA FARMS.
GOSSIP FROM STATE CAPITAL
Items of Interest Gathered from Re
liable Sources and Presented in
Condensed Form to Our
Readers.
In a statement covering his investi
gations and collection of figures on the
subject, Commissioner of Labor C. W.
Pool says:
“In 1912 there were shipped from
points in Nebraska, 47,628,822 dozen
eggs. Owing to the high price of meat
the consumption of eggs on farms was
undoubtedly much greater than in
1911, when 60,180,650 dozen eggs were
shipped. The fancy price to be real
ized from the sale of live and dressed
poultry in 1912 no doubt had its effect
upon the egg production, as in that
year the shipment of this commodity
reached the enormous total of 40,528,
280 pounds, as against a total ship
ment in 1911 of 26,748,504 pounds. In
1911 there were shipped from Nebras
ka stations a total of 60,180,650 dozen
eggs.
“It is perfectly safe to assume that
the 127,723 families upon farms used
33,980 dozen eggx Figuring the price
at 20 cents per dozen in 1912, it will
be observed that the Nebraska hen is
no slouch when it comes to getting the
coin.
"Without fear of being accused of
undue friendship for the hen, it is safe
to state that she brought to the
pockets of Nebraska farmers during
1912 not less than $10,000,000, to say
nothing of the part she played in satis
fying the craving of the inner man.”
Committed to Reduced Freight Rates.
The state railway commission is
practically committed to a reduction
of class freight rates an average of 20
per cent or more from what they now
are. This reduction will be made un
less the railroads, in their hearings of
protest which begin about October 20,
can make a better showing than the
figures of the commission's experts in
dicate are possible. The commission
told the last legislature, when on fire
before that body, that if the Sanborn
decision were overturned by the su
preme court, releasing the commission
from an embarrassing dilemma, some
thing like schedule 19 would be put
into effect and that it would lower
class rates more than was contem
plated in a pending bill, 10 per cent
reduction on Commodity rates and 20
per cent on class rates.
Want Departments Separated.
Separation of the food, drug, dairy,,
weights and measures and oil depart
ments, the dairy work to be placed
under the control of the board of re
gents and made a part of state farm
activities, and the others to remain at
the state house, as at present, is a
move which state dairymen and other
agricultural interests plan on propos
ing and backing the coming year.
Those who are making first ground in
the attempt say that interests of dairy
ing can be better subserved by con
necting the interests that are working
for improved dairy conditions. The
scheme has been tried successfully in
other dairy states, according to report,
and is believed to have tested out bet
ter than affiliation of this department
with others which burden officials
down with work.
The railway commission has granted
permission to the Union Pacific Rail
road company to reduce its rates on
corn to the extreme western part of
the state to a parity with the rates of
the Burlington road. The reduction
was made for the benefit of cattle feed
ers in Union Pacific territory adjacent
to Burlington territory.
Attorney General P. L. Hall of the
Nebraska national guard has an
nounced complete scores made at the

a gold medal.
Important Popcorn Center*.

ply the popcorn for the civilized world

culture. Valley county, Nebraska, and

ant popcorn growing centers. Valley
county leads by a narrow margin.

subordinate officer on his staff. Gen
eral Hall desires to see for himself

way of stores on hand, the condition

other duty. He will start about No

NELL GWYNNE’S OLD HOUSE
Famous Residence in Pall Mall, Lon
don, Is Being Torn Down—Prince
Regent Lived There.
London.—House breakers are at
work on the last remaina of a bouse
in Pall Mall place t hlch once wa3
the residence of Nell Gwynne, and
was the home of the Prince Regent
just a century ago while his magnifi
cent palace, Carlton house, was being
built on the other side of the way.
The original frontage in Pall Mall
was rebuilt many years ago and is
now again being pulled down, but the
gallery, the entrance of which is a
court, is one of the original reception
rooms of the house.
For many years past the building
has been used for a picture gallery.
Nell Gwynne’s House.
The Nell Gwynne room, with its mag
nificent ceiling, remained perfectly
preserved until the house breakers
took possession.
The house in Pall Mall chiefly asso
ciated with King Charles’ favorite is
No. 79, since rebuilt and now occupied
by an insurance company. It was here
that the diarist Evelyn “saw and
heard a very familiar discourse be
tween the king and Mrs. Nellie,” .as
they called an impudent comedian,
she looking out of her garden on a
terrace at the top of the wall and the
king "standing on the green beneath
[ it.”
While he was waiting for the com
pletion of Carlton house the Prince
Regent lived in Nell Gwynne's old
house in Pall Mall place and he used
to watch the extravagant magnificence
of his splendid place rising over the
way. It was pulled down in 1827 and
the eight Ionic columns facing Pall
Mall were used in the facade of the
present National gallery and are
familiar objects of that frontage.
IS RELIC OF THE “ICE AGE’'
National Museum Curator Reports on
Petrified Remains Found in
West Virginia.
Marlinton, W. Va.—A report has
been made by J. W. Gidley, assistant
curator of the National museum,
Washington, on the petrified remains
found in blasting the big limestone
cliff at the boundary of the town of
Renifk, this county, by the Renick
Stone company. He says: "The
speciments are remains of a pig-like
animal known as phatygonus. This
animal is related to the peccary now
living in Central and South Africa,
but was much larger than the present
species. They were very abundant in
the eastern and central'United States
during the pleistocene or ‘ice age.’ ”
A skull found among the fossils was
in an especially fine state of preserva
tion and looks not unlike the skull of
a horse, though much smaller, with
Immense tusks. Mr. Gidley says the
skull Is of especial interest as it prob
ably represents an undescribed
species and because it supplements
another recent discovery of somewhat
similar character near Cumberland,
Md. Arrangements were made with
the stone company to protect the de
posit until an experienced collector
can be detailed to visit the place.
Mr. Gidley ^xpects to visit Renick
soon to make a thorough investiga
tion.
TO HELP GERMAN BARMAIDS
“Dogs In Berlin Treated Better Than
We Are," One Writes, Telling
Her Experience.
Berlin.—Appa!' ng conditions of
abuse, want, misery and immorality
have been uncovered among Berlin's
“barmaids.” The editor of a local
paper is conducting a crusade to help
them. The lot of those in the cheap
er beer saloons is the hardest. Wages
are small, hours long, and the bar
maid is largely dependent upon tips,
which in turn depend upon her come
liness and her lack of resentment at
the coarse jokes and lndigfiities which
she must suffer from customers.
If the barmaid complains of treat
ment of the guests, she is discharged
on the ground that she drives away
trade. It is but a step from the posi

TORTURING TWINGES
Much so-called rheumatism is caused
by weakened kidneys. When the kid
neys fail to clear the blood of uric acid,
the acid forms into crystals like bits
of broken glass in the muscles, joints
and on the nerve casings. Torturing
pains dart through the affected part
whenever it is moved. By curing the
kidneys, Doan's Kidney Pills have
eased thousands of rheumatic cases,
lumbago, sciatica, gravel, neuralgia
and urinary disorders.

was neipiess in oeu
for three months with
rheumatism. When I
did get up, I had to
use crutches. Besides
backache and rheu
matic pains, I had
trouble with my kid

unsuccessfully, I be
gan using Doan’s Kid

the terrible pains and
I have been able to
worn every aay since.
I feel like a different (
