BALLOON EXPLODES IN FLIGHT.
Army Craft Destroyed and TT = 7o Offire
cers Bruised at Jac , son , Neb.
Army balloon No. 12 exploded in
landing at Jackson , Neb. , Monday
, night after a 120-mile trip and was
destroyed , Captain Chandler and LieuD
tenant Ware , the aeronauts in charge ,
being knocked down and bruised , but
escaping serious injury. Captain ChanPc
dler believes that while at a high altian
tude the gas bag became charged with
static electricity , and that on reaching
the ground contact with the earth
caused an arc to form , thus producing
an electric spark , which set fire to the
big bag. The ascension was made from
Fort Omaha. The balloon started "north
as soon as it was well into the air and
soon crossed the Missouri River. It
followed the general "course of the
river for nearly 100 miles , the flight
following a northwesterly direction.
The 120-mile flight was made in about
six hours , deducting the hour and a
half the balloon was becalmed.r

Just before adjournment Friday the
Senate voted : to fix the duty on lead
contained in lead ore at 1 % cents a
pound , which is the rate of the Ding-
ley law , and of the pending bill as it
was passed by the House of Representa
tives. Fifty-three Senators , including
all Republicans present , and Senators
Hughes of Colorado and McEnery of
Louisiana , voted in favor of the duty
and nineteen Democratic Senators
voted against it. This particular par-
agraph has not been opposed by the
low tariff Republicans and the vote
was not significant. During the day
Senator Clapp of Minnesota spoke at
length in favor of lowering tariff du
ties and Senator Owen of Oklahoma
upheld the constitutionality of an in.
come tax. The House was not in ses-
sion.
. . . . .
The entire session of the Senate
Saturday was consumed with a debate
on the schedule of duties on pig lead
and its products. The stout opposi-
tion presented to the adqgtion of the
amendments recommended by the
committee on finance making the
rates similar to those of the Dingley
bill prevented a vote being reached be-
fore adjournment. The House was
not in session.

The ability of the Republican ma
jority of the Senate to uphold the rec
ommendation of the committee on
finance on the leajl schedule , which
contains the Dingley rates in the tar-
iff bill in the place of the lower du- _
ties fixed by the House of Representa-
tives , was fully demonstrated Monday :
when by a vote of 35 to 44 the Senate ,
declined to reduce by one-quarter of a
cent a pound the duty on pig lead , as
recommended by the comittee on
finance. In this vote eleven Republi
cans voted with the Democrats and
two Democrats with the Republicans.
By a viva voce vote the Senate adopt-
ed the rate of 2y3 cents a pound on
pig ! lead as recommended by the com
mittee. ] At the conclusion of the ses
sion Chairman Aldrich stated that he
regarded : the vote as an indorsement
of the action of the committee , and he
expressed confidence that all the sched-
ules ( of the committee would be up
held. Strenuous opposition by the
Democrats in the House prevented the
reference of the President's message
recommending < certain legislation for
Porto Rico to the committee on ways
and means. A motion- by _ Mr. Gar-
rett ( Tennessee ) directing the speak-
er to appoint forthwith the committee
on insular affairs , which under ordi-
nary procedure would have charge of
the subject , disclosed the fact that a
quorum was not present. Consequent-
ly the message was left on the ! speak-
er's table until Thursday. The Phil-
ippine tariff bill was reported and Mr. :
Payne gave not\ce that he would call
it ! up Thursday.

B - -
Substantial progress was made in
the ' consideration of the tariff bill Tues-
day , the amendments of the committee
on finance being upheld by the Senate
by substantial majorities. A feature
of the session was a general discussion
concerning the great disparity between
wholesale ] and retail prices of commodfc
ities. Republican Senators declared
that this difference was so great as to
demonstrate that the duty levied by a
protective , . tariff had small effect on
the . price paid by the consumer. This
feature . of the discussion was precipi-
tated by Senator Scott , himself a glass
manufacturer. , The schedule covering
the products of lead was passed over
upon the suggestion of Senator Al
drich : , because , he said , * the finance
committee . desires to make some
changes : : in the duties , as previously
recommended. The House was not in
session. i -
- * - : A _
, After several hours spent in the Sen.
ite , Wednesday in discussing the win.
dow . , glass schedule of the tariff bill
Senator ( Aldrich
asked that that
pararc
graph be passed over. Some other
f. sec-
Lions relating io glass manufactured
articles ! that previously had been pass-
ed over were agreed to. The Senate
proceeded [ to the
consideration of pass-
ed over sections
until the iron
- ore par-
agraph was reached , when Senator
Crawford spoke at length upon the
lack : of wisdom of .any tariff that en-
couraged the
exhaustion of natural re-
sources , which could not readily be re-
produced. [ ] He insisted that there
should be no tariff on iron ore , oil ,
lumber and coal. Early in the session
Senator . Paynter spoke in favor of the
removal of the duty of 6 cents a pound
upon leaf tobacco , as a means for..free-
Ing the tobacco growers from the con
trol : of the tobacco trust. The House
was ; not in session. . .

i.G . CAPTAIN -PETER HAINS
IS fOUND TO BE GUILTY
. 'oJ ff
Manslaughter in the First Degree
Is. the Verdict for Killing
of Annis.
PENALTY IS 1 TO 20 YEARS
Appeal Will Be Made on Ground
That Jury Was- Not Guarded
Prop erly _ During Trial
Capt. Peter C. Hains , Jr. , U. S. A. ,
faces a prison term of from one to
twenty years. Despite all the testi !
mony submitted by : the defense as tend
ing to show insanity , he . was convicted
in Flushing , N. Y. , Tuesday of man
slaughter in the first degree for killing
William E. Annis at the Bayside Yacht
Club last August. "following
the young army officer's conviction , his
counsel announced that they would
produce affidavits to show that the jury :
had not been properly guarded during
the trial and upon this allegation will
"urge that a new trial be granted.
After the jury was discharged Juror
William Craft said four ballots were
taken. On the first three ballots six
voted for murder in the first degree
and six for acquittal on the ground of
insanity. On the fourth ballot the
compromise of manslaughter in the
first degree was reached.
William E. Annis was shot and kill-
ed last August by Capt. Peter C. Hains ,
_ Jr. , at the Bayside Yacht Club on
Long Island. Capt. Hains was ac
companied by his brother , T. Jenkins
Hains , who was tried for participating
in the crime , but was acquitted. Capt.
Hains , it was said , had received letters
I from his wife , Mrs. Claudia Hains ,
I showing relations with Annis which
! enraged him. It was asserted that Mrs.
Hains had made a confession in which
she told of her friendship for Annis :
Capt. Hains shot Annis as the victim
was returning from a yachting trip.
After the arrest of the brother Capt.
Hains began to develop signs of men
tal unrest , and during the trial his
counsel and alienists who testified for
him endeavored to convince the jury
that the army officer was a victim of
"impulsive insanity. "
WILL DISCIPLINE RECORD.
f
"Q" Road Putting Into Effect New
Method of Handling Employes.
" " title
"Discipline by record" is the
of a new method of maintaining dis-
cipline among the employes of the
Chicago , Burlngiton and Quincy Rail-
road , which the officials are confident
will achieve satisfactory ' results. In-
stead of punishing an employe for in
fractions of rules by suspending him
from ten to sixty days , the Burlington
will govern its workers by a system
of records.
Any employe whose record indicates
clearly that he is not a safe or fit man
to be intrusted with the lives of pas-
sengers or with valuable property will
fc
fcbi
be dismissed. Promotion will be based
on J the service record. "When the qual
,
ities "are equal between two men , the
older in the service will receive the
preference. Officials of the road be-
lieve that suspension does not make a
man any better , while it deprives him
of the chance to earn money to sup-
port j his family. .

membership of 3,000,000 , and that part
of , the organization that convened in
Springfield is known as ' the grain
growers' branch. President Barrett , in
his call , issued at Atlanta , Ga. , said :
"It is the intention to build such a
system as will enable the growers to
sell their wheat for the highest possi
ble figures. " It is intended to organ-
ize the grain growers the same as the
cotton planters of the South are organ- * "
ized , the chief aim being to aid mem-
bers in storing wheat 1J.ntil prices ad-
vance. Congress also will be petition-
ed to enact a law that will prevent I

RIPE OLIVES.
A Trlclc "Which People In California
PJay on IVewcomers.
. "I have just returned from Califor-
nia , " said the traveler , "and for your
information , in case you ever wander
thither , let me post you on one of the
merry little jests which the inhabitants
love to iVg in on the innocent tender-
foot.
"About the first thing they'll run you
up against the California ripe olives.
Ever eat them ? You can hardly get
them here because they won't stand
shipment. And they're mighty good.
"Most real olive eaters prefer them
to the ordinary green pickfed olive.
The ripe olives are pickled also , you
understand , and come out of the brine
jet' black. c
"After you have eaten and approv cd ,
they will lead you on by remarking : '
" 'Well , if you like them that way
you'll like them better fresh. Just
stroll out to the orchard with me and :
we'll have one. " -
"Then they lead you out to one of
their long lanes of ; trees. I pause to
remark : that you don't know what olive ,
green and olive brown mean until ,
you've seen those colors In that slim '
graceful little tree.
"There are fresh olives all right , .
hanging among the gray leaves and '
.
looking mighty tempting. You pick one ,
and bite into it. .
;
'
"Whew ! Bitter ? I can taste it yet ]
It's all the quinine and rhubarb and .
wormwood in the world , combined In a
nasty , haunting bitterness that hangs
to you until you have eaten two meals. ! ,
It is an oily bitterness that gets into
the corners and crannies of your
mouth and" won't be washed out.
"When you recover a little they ex
plate that the brine takes .out the bit-
terness , and that's why . olives are
pickled. " - New York Sun.

A minister's wife had quite a tussle
with coffee and her experience is inter-
esting. She says :
"During the two years of my train-
ing as a nurse , while on night duty , I
became ( addicted to coffee drinking. Be-
tween . midnight and four in the morn-
ing , when the-patients were asleep ,
there was little to do except make the
rounds , and it was quite natural that Ij )
-should want a good , hot cup of coffee ,
about that time. It stimulated me and ; '
I could keep awake better. . '
"After three or four years of coffee I
-
drinking I became a nervous wreck and ;
thought that I simply could not live ;
without my coffee. All this time I was ] !
subject to frequent bilious att cks. '
sometimes so severe as to keep me in
bed for several days. ' .
"After being married , Husband
begged me to leave off coffee for he \
feared that it had already hurt me al-
most beyond repair , so I resolved to
make an effort to release myself from ,
the hurtful habit. -
"I began taking Postum and for a
few days felt the languid , tired feeling
from the lack of the stimulant , but I
liked ; the taste of Postum , and that an-
swered' for the breakfast beverage all
right. _
"Finally I began to feel clearer head-
ed and had steadier nerves. After a
year's use of Postum I now feel like a
5E
new woman-have not had any bilious * . t'
attacks since I left off coffee. " _ _
