The international balloon race which started from the suburb of Schmargendorf, was the occasion of a thrilling accident, two American aeronauts having a miraculous escape from death. The American balloon Conqueror, the only American built craft In the contest, having on board A. Holland Forbes and Augustus Post, less than two minutes after the start burst at an altitude of 4,000 feet For 2,000 feet it shot down lika a bullet, and then the torn silk bag assumed the shape of a parachute, thus check ing the rapidity of the descent Com ing close to the earth, however, the basket smashed into the roof of a house, but the two men escaped with slight injuries. The race, in which twenty-three bal loons participated, represented Great Britain, Prance, Germany, the United States, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium and Spain, started at 3 o'clock Sunday af ternoon in the presence of at least 8,000 spectators. The sun shine was brilliant and the heat was that of sum mer. Amid the strains of "America" and volleys of cheers, the first balloon was sent away. It was the "American II," under command of James C. Mc Coy, who was accompanied by Lieuten ant Voghman. The balloon was de corated with the stars and stripes and it sailed away to the southeast at a rapid pace, the aeronauts waving their hats. A representative of each of the oth er nations followed the American bal loon in succession at intervals of two minutes, the national hymn of the respective countries ringing forth as the ropes were cast loose. The second batch of eight balloons was led by Forbes, in the "Con queror," which was started with some difficulty owing to a gusty wind and too much ballast. But eventually it shot up and reached a high altitude in an incredible short period the basket swaying violently. Then almost in stantly a cry of horror arose from the crowd, who saw the silk collapse and shouted, "the balloon is ripping up." Thousands who had gathered there stood for a moment petrified. Some turned away, fainting as they saw the balloon falling with lightning-like rapidity. At the same time, showers of sand and appurtenances of the bal loon shot downward with equal rapid ity and then dayligt was seen through the envelope, great ragged edges of the silk showing on either side. "They are killed," went in a hushed wisper through the crowd, but shortly the remainder of the envelope ap peared to'take, first a triangular shape and then was transformed into a sort of parachute at the top of the net and the progress of the wrecked balloon was considerably arrested. It came down slower and slower, meanwhile being swept by the wind, far to the southeast, and finally dis appeared from view behind a block of houses. The suspense among the crowd was terrible. But a few minutes later a telephone message was re ceived from Friedenau which an nounced that the men had landed and not oeen seriously injured. Cholera at Manila.

THE STATE CAPITAL MATTERS OF INTEREST TO ALL CITIZENS. HITS THE NATIONAL 6UARDS Henceforth and Hereafter Uncle Sam Will Pay Only Men of Six Months' Service. No longer will the Nebraska national guard be allowed to draw money from the government for the support of raw recruits taken to the state camp or to the regular army maneuvers. The war department has Issued an order that no money will be paid to guardsmen who have not been enlisted for six months. The government pays the state troops Invited to participate in maneuvers and it pays a portion of the per diem of all enlisted men tak ing part in state encampments and pays all the salary of officers of the guards during their attendance m state camps. The new order of the government will cause considerable hustling among the different companies in the Nebras ka national guard. The company of ficers who desire full companies at the next state encampment must begin to recruit in January and then must try to hold the men on the rolls for six months. However, many of them will need very few men. Suca company officers may devote their time to ef forts to hold the enlisted men they now have in readiness for the next an nual camp.
