- J U ' 1 _ ' / Camp Wellman , Spitzenbergen : Wal
1\1- \ f ter Wellman's second attempt to sail
I 11 pver the north pole in a balloon has
, i ' Resulted in failure. The giant dirigi-
I , I jble balloon America , in which Mr. :
e if ' ' JWellman and his party of three set
I : . - but upon their perilous flight , met with
fj T , 4 a mishap after it had proceeded about
, thirty-two miles from the starting
I , 4 point. Mr. : Wellman and his party suc-
J
t , ceeded in making a safe landing and
returned to this point on board the
i I steamer Fram , which also towed in the
' 1i" I Disabled balloon.
' I I , It was 10 o'clock in the morning
! when the great airship was brought
put of its shed and the daring explor-
; , ers took their places in the car. When
' \ the anchors were cast loose the air-
: ! I . ' hip ascended beautifully , the engines
I" - were set in motion and everything
. .a " seemed to work to perfection. The
r t. + big aircraft was maneuvered for some
, T , - ; ; time and answered the helm perfect-
I , : , Iy. Then its head was turned to the
' . northward and it set out at a speed
I of twenty-five miles an hour.
' ! ' Suddenly , after having covered some
. . I thirty-two miles and when everything
, r ; seemed to be going splendidly , the
leather guide rope , to which was at
; , ; J - . . . tached 1,000 pounds of provisions and
? : ' : stores , broke away. The accident oc-
, : ; . burred just as the airship was nearing
the pack ice of North Spitzenbergen.
i i Released from this great weight , the
jairship shot upwards at a terrific pace
Until it was at a great height above I I
; I I the clouds. The pilots succeeded , how- :
ever , in bringing her about and set
put to fight their way southward
iagainst a strong wind. The airship
, proceeded slowly southward to the
edge of the pack ice , where the steam-
er Fram was anchored.
I , I After much difficulty a tow rope
: , was gotten aboard the Fram , which
: ' : t ptarted immediately to tow the airship
! 'i to Spitzenbergen. The strain was so
i , r great , however , that it threatened to
I : ; ,
; jtear the car to which the rope was at-
' I tached to pieces and Mr. Wellman
. I finally decided to bring the airship
down to the surface of the water. This
Iwas / effected without mishap and the
I t j
f car rested on the surface of the water
N 1' a : until all the members of the crew , the
I
r ; , . dogs and the scientific instruments
' ) ' : - could be transferred aboard the Fram.
I , ' jA ! fresh start was then planned and
'A 4 the America was towed back to the
I landing [ stage and within a short dis
tance of where the start was made.
. . [ But the ill luck of the expedition
[ was not yet at an end. Just as the
airship had reached the landing stage
and everything looked favorable for
jits rescue without serious damage , a
sodden gust of wind caught the big
1 Inflated bag broadside and snatched it
- ' ,
away from its tow lines. It was car-
, ried over rough ice hummocks for
, ; some distance and then it exploded.
. : i All ! the scattered parts of the airship
' : , were ) subsequently recovered , but the
' , , ' damage was so great as to preclude
any further attempt to fly over the
oole this year.

The Seventh Annual Fair to be giv- ;
en by the Interstate Live Stock Fair
Association , of Sioux City , Iowa , will !
be held the week of September 20 , at
Riverside , which has-
Woodland Park , ;
been called the most beautiful natural-
fair grounds in the" United States. ;
The officers and directors of the In
In-I
terstate Live Stock Fair Association
are men of high standing In the . bust- '
ness world , and It Is because of the
association of men of such character ] )
in this enterprise that they have been/ /
able to make of It the largest and best !
independent fair in the country.
The week of September 20 Is thej \ T
week following the South Dakota statej ;
fair at Huron , S. D. By changing its ' !
dates so as not to conflict with the ?
South Dakota state fair , the Inter- j :
state Association made a move , the1
popularity of which can hardly be es - :
timated. For instance , the South Da- '
fcota newspapers , so long as the Inter-
state Fair Association persisted In ;
clinging to the dates which rightly be-
longed to the South Dakota fair , were ,
either actually antagonistic or at least
unfriendly. This year , with the Inter-
state people doing the right thing , the
press of South Dakota is more thai
generous In Its : attitude towards the :
big fair at Woodland. They are sim- . '
ply glad that the Interstate Live Stocki
Fair Association realized that It was
an the wrong and got in the right path. '
They are boosting the Interstate fair
and , while loyally urging their citizens
to see their own fair first , they say
then the "next best" fair to see is that
of the Interstate Live Stock Fair As-
sociation at Sioux City.
1 The program of the seventh annual'
fair is the best in the hjstory of the as-
sociation. It Is a well balanced pro-
gram , one in which every person may
find something to enjoy. The program
indicates management will fulfill the ,
' title Interstate Live Stock Fair-for'
the exhibit of live stock includes the
, blue bloods from the breeding farms
: of half a dozen commonwealths.
While { live stock and agriculture are
/first In importance , the racing and ! '
amusement features have been givent
a great deal : of attention. The exhibit ; ;
. of farm machinery will be the largest
ever seen at any fair in the west out-
side of the world's expositions. Flow-
'ers and fruits will have a large depart-
ment of their own. The Fine Arts and ; ;
Household Departments , the Pantry :
and Kitchen Department , the Child - :
ren's Department and the Department
of Dairy Products will be unusually
attractive.
The International Bee Keepers' As-
sociation will hold Its annual conven-
tion at the fair grounds during the fair ' .JO f
and this fact was largely instrumental
In causing the troard of directors of /
the Fair Association to erect an '
apiary building this year. Because of
the convention , there will be exhibits
this year from Canada , Japan and
Australia.
The United States government will
have an Important exhibit at the fair.
It will be made by the department of
agriculture , and will consist of patho-
logical specimens showing diseases
and infections of live stock. Diseased :
glands , diseased tissues , diseased I
blood , and , In short , specimens of ev
ery disease with which domestic anI-
mals are afflicted , will be exhibited In
hermetically sealed containers. The
causes of these various diseases will
be explained in the talks which will
oe , made by experts of the depart-
ment's bureau of animal Industry.
The Iowa State Agricultural college
will " have an exhibit in charge of Prof.
P. G. Holden.
At a great expense I and . only after
numerous delays in the negotiations ,
Mr. Morton has finally secured the
Bontoc Igorrote Village for the fair.
Sixty : ; Indians from the wilds of Lu-
, . . . . -
con : , in the Philippine archipelago , .a
live in this village , which was brought
to this country for exhibition at the
St. ; Louis world's fair. For the last
two years the village has been at
Dreamland Park , Coney , Island , and
next month it will be transplanted to
the Seattle exposition , from which
place the villages will be deported ,
never again to be allowed to exhibit
in the United States. On their way to '
Seattle : the villagers will be exhibited
at only two places-the Minnesota
state fair and the Interstate
Fair.
The leading band at the fair will
he the world famous organization of
Liberati. ! However , Reed's Fourth
Regiment band will play ] every day
and no doubt
there will be
some old
admirers who will prefer the
popular
music of this well . kn wn local band.
. For those \ \vho attend the fair chief-
. to sec the races , the Interstate Fair
.his year will be a most inviting place.
The purses are so large that
they have
attracted owners from
everywhere.
Already more stalls are engaged than
have ever been before. The

ing event will be
