Knotta erected his bungaloo which is to serve .is. winter ouarters, on Saturday. It is quite a substantial structure built on the site formerly occupied by his tent on Euclid avenue. Attorney L. L.

Messrs. McLain and Hriggs spent a a very enjoyable .time in Indiana Harbor Saturday evening. They missed th last train to Gary and took the next one leaving for Chicago where they saw the latest. Their lack of so-call ed essentials in dress was not notice aids, their being from our city aton ing for any sin in that direction. Superintendent Wirt of the Bluff ton schools spent the afternoon here on Saturday. He is "a prominent edu cator not only in Indiana but amon school men in general, lie is credite witli being one of the earliest to recognize the need of manual training in our schools and has made the schools of Bluffton famous for the excellence of its work and for a liberal application of practical methods in educational work without adopting fads which' have worked so much harm in many metropolitan schools. Through his acquaintance with men prominent in the projection of this Steel city, he is interested in the work and expects to watch with interest the handling of the educational probe'.m which in his estimation will be no small one. For the first time in the history of our town board, one of the members missed a regular meeting. M. A. Caldwell was the one to set the precedent. The board held up the consideration of a peddler's license ordinance until some; later meeting. They passed the final' resolution for widening the alley: south of the Wabash and changed the ii'imo of Burton avenue to Broadway. This makes Broadway a 100-foot street of over two miles in length. An ordinance to license the use of pool and billiard tables was adopted. It also stated the license fee for permission to operate some other devices. An ordinance was also adopted which stipulated the fees to be charged for the issuing of the various licenses, permits, etc. The engineer brought In ids estimate of the cost of improving that part of Broadway lying south of the Wabash and the board expects to push the work as rapidly as conditions will permit.

MEXICAN TREADS ON THE WATER Cornell Student Invents Shoes and Introduces Acquatic Lacrosse. Ithaca, N. Y. Jose Antonio Ostos, a Mexican student in Cornell university, has walked on the water of Cayugoa lake. He wore a pair of water shoes which he recently designed in the department of mechanical engineering. He shot about over the water in every direction with little apparent effort. The shoes are constructed of tin, with four air chambers in each, and a separate compartment for the foot. They are five feet three inches long. 14 inches wide and nearly ten inches deep. Collapsible fans prevent them from slipping backward. A large crowd witnessed the test. Ostos is a prominent athlete in the university, rowine in the freshman crew at ject in having the shoes made is to j start a new form of water sport at Cornell, a sort of water lacrosse.

T - --.-.! ' r - .. ' B. LANDIS. GREAT BALLOON RACE Sixteen Big Gas Bags Star from Paris Under Very Disappointing Conditions. WIND FLAYS A TRICK ON THEM Been Blowing from the West Regularly at This Season, Imt Now Reverses Its Direction. Taris, Oct. 1. Sixteen balloons, averaging over 2.0(H) cubic metres capacity each, and representing seven countries, sailed awnv from the Tuilpries wardens in til ft heart of Paris in TvlV , r- v1Q, tirn ) j Bennett cup for international aftro1 Hants. The contest was primarily a j long-distance raco. The date had been carefully selected when the prevailing winds are from the west, in the hope of privins; the aeronauts an opportunity to break the record of Count de la Vaulx, made In 1WO, when his balloon landed in Korostycheff, Russia, having cover ed a distance of 1,1 ST miles ia ! thirty-five hours and forty minutes. Wind Bloweth Where It Listeth. But this time the wind was lipht, hardly more than eight miles an hour, and from the east, thus making the shores of tbe Atlantic the limit of distance and robbing the occasion of its choice as a test of long-distance aerial traveling. On this account the riu-e was a keen disappointment to the aeronauts, who had come from every corner of Europe. The rules of the contest, however, provided that in care of unfavorable atmospheric conto remain in the air. Million People See the Event. Nevertheless", as a spectacle the ! event was a brilliant success. It i calculated that over 1,(XX),(XX) people saw the balloons as they sai!ed away. A quarter of a million had gathered inside the gardens, while the Place de la Concorde, the bridges over the Seine, the embankments of the river, housetops and every other coign of vantage for miles around were black with people. The terraces? in the gardens had been reserved for invited guests. They were occupied by prominent aeronauts of Europe, as well as many distinguished visitors from various countries, the foreign diplomats here and the French ministers of war and marine. Santos-Dumont Has a Novelty. Santos-Pumont. one of the two rep resentatives of the Aero Club of Amer ic. proved to be the only one to inau gurate a novelty. For the purpose of keeping afloat as long as possible he had equipped his car with a six-horse power vertical propeller, with the ob ject of lifting and lowering his balloon without disc harging any of its precious ballast. Nations That Were Represented. The rations represented in the race are the two Americas, one balloon (Santos-Dumont); the T'nited States, one: I ranee, three: fiermany, three; Great P.ritain. three; Spain, three, and Belgium and Italy one each. In addition to the cup which goes to ! the club of the winner, and which is to be competed for annually, there is a cash prize of $2,000 to the winner, with a less sum each to the second and third.
