Greenville, O., Sept. 4 —John E Baldwin, an aeronatt of Spanish- American war fame, was killed by the explosion of six sticks of dynamitein his balloon while 1,500 feet in the air. Hie wife and two children were in the crowd of 25,000 persons which saw the accident. Baldwin was giving daily exhibitions at the fair. He would ascend several thourand feet i. the air and explode half a dozen sticks of dynamite at different times. He had mounted 1,500 feet in theair and his balloon was soaring as grace- fully as a bird. While the thrilled crowd with heads uplifted were watching, there appear- ed in the sky, where the balloon had been, a great cloud of smoke, Sec- onds later there came down a great boum from the clouds. The smoke obscured the view, but those who could continue the watch saw frag: ments of the balloon falling. Bald- win had been blown to bits by the explosion. His body was picked up and removed to a morgue. Baldwin's wife screamed when she saw the smoke, long before the ex- plosion, for her practiced eye told her of the tragedy which had occur- red in the clouds. She fell in a dead faint before the vast crowd had real- ized what was happening. Has Stood The Test 25 Years. The old, original GROVE’S Taste- less chill tonic. You know what you are taking.

Chicago, Sept. 4.—Nels Anderson, @ motor inspector for the IIlnols Steel company, chose death by elec- trocution in preference to a more hor- rible fate in one of the company’s seething metal pits at the South Chicago works. Anderson was doing repair work on the arm of a crane directly above one of the hot metal pits. A slight movement of the arm caused him to lose his balance, The only support within reach was an uninsulated live wire which connect- ed the crane with power. Anderson gave one glance at the white hot metal below and caught the wire as he was falling. He was almost in- stantly killed.

There will be exhibited the bost line of farm products grown {n Bates county this year of plenty, besides the stock show will be of the very best. Already entries have been made to insure ita grand sue- cess, and everything will be as free as the water that flows.”’ A street fair, properly conducted by the business men, such as Butler had the first time, is a good thing for the town and surrounding country and Adrian is getting ready to do herself proud. While here the gentlemen above mentioned engaged the Butler band to play for the three days’ fuls. State Superintendent of Schools W. T. Carrington, in his notes sent out to the press, makes the following suggestions: “There is talk of reducing taxation in Missouri. Would it not be wiser to continue the present low rate of 17 cents and distribute more to the common schools? ‘The average an nual school expenditure per child i- about $10. The state furnisher $1 34 of this, about two-fifths of the total expenditures. When the stat puts $3 00 per child into the com- mon schools, it will equalize the e 0 p v res anu ? 5 taxation more nearly as they shouiu be. Instead of reducing taxation, let Missouri spend more for education.” THOUGHT BANK WAS SOLVENT. Clinton, Mo., September 4.—In depositions given Major Harvey W. Salmon told of organizing the Cham- pion Cattle Co,, iu 1881,advancing all the money, $50,000, necessary to startit and taking G. M. Casey’s and William Adair’s notes for their stock. Afterwards his brother, Dr. Salmon, and others became interested. For a time the company made money, butthe range gave out and the herds sere divided with great loss. He said he and Dr. Salmon lost all they had invested. Major Salmon saia he ran the bank until 1890, when private business toek him to Wash. ington a great deal, and he ceased active banking. FE C. Crow, ex-at- torney general, drew out that this Washington business was to put through the Chicksaw land grant which netted Salmon about $65,- 000, and which he deposited {n the bank. Asked if his attention was directed in 1900 by the secretary of state, Mr. Lesueur, and Bunk Examiner Oldham to the bank’s precarious con dition, Major Salmon admitted thas certain requirements had been made with which he endeavored to comply by making a list of notes th»tshould be collected and other debtea that should be reduced. He asrerte? that he believed the Salmov bank waa solvent up to the time of its failure He did not know it owed a dollar in St. Lonfd or Kansas City. He had never bought any bonds or stocka. He had. required statements as to the bank's condition and belleved it was making $3,000 or $4,000 a month. We Take Eggs, Butter and Chickens, Gash or Trade. New Goods.
