This was announced yesterday from down town campaign headquarters of the aspirant for gubernatorial honors. While in South Chicago Thnrs.lay evening the ex-governor was greeted by a packed tent and it is estimated that fnllv 2 LOO neoule listened to him speak.
It is not that Yates does not think he stands a good show of landing the majority of votes in this ward, but it is the fact that he wants to line up more

JUNKET IS A
HUGE SUCCESS.
(Continued from pajrc !)
Domestic troubles in the home of a
wealthy Parkside resident culminated yesterday in the horsewhipping of a ten-year-old boy by his father, Samuel O. Kimberly, 6301 Ingleside avenue,
and the payment of a fine of $00 and
costs by the parent.
The fine was administered by Judge
Maxwell of the Hyde Park branch of
the Municipal Court, after the boy had showed the court his back and arms covered with bruises and welts Inflicted by his father with a rawhide. Kimberley pleaded guilty when arraigned before the Judge and paid his fine. Ha formerly was in the law department of Iiibbard, Spencer, Bartlett & Company, but for three years has been living upon an inheritance of $300,000 obtained from his uncle, Peter Kimberley, a mine owner who died on June 4, 1905 leaving $10,000,000. It doveloped in the hearing that Kimberley also had abused his wife after coming home intoxicated from a South Side amusement resort several months ago. She remonstrated with

MANSLAUGHTER CHARGE
Held Responsible For Three Deaths.
Two South Chicago men, Charles
Dowler and Edward M. Day, formerly
of Hammond, were placed on trial yes
terday on charges of manslaughter In connection with a street car accident in
South Chicago in which three people
lost their lives. The defendants, motorman and con

the first stop. Hudson Lake Is about sixteen miles from Michigan City, and
it was on this stretch that the passengers received the first taste of the speed of the new air line. The six
teen miles were made in eighteen min
utes, or a fraction more than one mile a minute. The company owns some thirty acres of timber on the south shore of Hudson Lake, which lies at the foot of the railroad embankment. Hudson Lake will undoubtedly grow to be a popular summer resort. The balance of the trip to South Bend was made in nice time. The two cars stopped at the company's depot
at South Bend, only a few doors away from the Oliver House. The party took luncheon at the Oliver House in South Bend, having arrived there shortly after 1 o'clock.

NEW MAEEIAGE LICENSES. Fred Borman, Dora Breuns, Hammond. Ind.; Nichola Laurlno, Lurgia
When the sun came up Sunday morning we were just crossing over the banks of Lake Erie. We passed London, Ont., at 8 o'clock in the morning. I recognized the city as soon as I saw it, having sailed there several times before and the whole surrounding country looked very natural to me. We overtook Dr. Fielding's "FieldingSan Antonio," the Texas ballon, as wo entered the harbor of Iake Ontario, and by the time we reached Toronto, Canada, wo were racing side by side. He was 12 miles over land and we were about 15 miles out in Lake Ontario. At this time we were running parallel with Like Ontario. When we traveled a distance of 100 miles we by far passed the Texas entry, which was the first to leave the grounds at Sixty-
seventh street and South Park avenue.
On Iake Ontario wo found that the currents wero very treacherous and had to he watched as the gas would sometimes condense and we would fall at the rate 3.000 feet per minute. Tills happened three or four times and we were getting rid of sand fast. We became alarmed, knowing that our balIr.st was nearly gone, so pulling up our water log which was hanging 400 feet below. It was about 15 to 18 degrees below zero at that height, and by the time we pulled up 175 younds of weight for 400 feet we were perspiring freely and imagined the temperature was about 90 degrees aove zero. Here U where we got busy. We cut the
water log up in twelve In pieces which was made of very heavy rope stuffed
with cork. We used the pieces as! ballast and the sand bags were filled1 with the cork and then sewed up tight These hags were tied on the outside of j the basket after which we got ready ! for a landing In Lake Ontario, know- ! ing that we could not hold out much ' loncer in the treacherous currents. So j when about 4 miles high we ran against a snow cloud which seemed j to be floating along the channel of the . lake. This cloud when turning the J glass, appeared as if we were no more 1 than fifty feet away, having the ap-i pearanco of a mountain of wool. I i asked Mr. Perrigo if he had any idea or could pass any opinion as to what it j was. Neither one of us could hardly ;
talk, being so amazed. It then dawned j upon us that It must have been a floating snow cloud which was frozen. The balloon was perfectly tight at ! this height until we came in contact , with this cloud and in less time than it ; takes to tell it. the balloon whirled around so fast that the bag appeared 1 to be bursted and the whole bottom j was fluttering with an awful roar, "o," ; said to Mr. Perrigo. "the bag has bursted." Such was not the case, j however. We then began to g-o down and we found that we had dropped i 5.100 feet In less than 3f seconds, which is probably the quickest fall i
looking around to see what our chances were of going further or drifting into the lake and taking a chance of drowning. I said to Perlgo, "heres our finish on land or water, we have only three sand bags left." We had our provision and rope anchor where they could be disposed of it necessary so securedly putting on our life preservers we cleared the basket getting everythlnrr out of our road. I climbed up in the rigging and making a net of the rope crossed the concentrating ring maklrg a net for us both to lay in In case we went down
If such had ben the case we figured
on using the basket as a water anchor Then Mr. Perrigo discovered that wa were going towards land all the time. I then noticed that in getting ready for a landing I saw before me "Thousand Islands." This alarmed me. as I had never seen so many islands in ona spot. Both Perrigo and myself then thought we were in the ocean instead of the lakes. Just as we struck the banks of Lake Ontario I opened the
valve and let the bag down in anchortouch of the islands, which we were crossing. By our judgment the wind was blowing us at the rate of fortyfive miles an hour and I knew that we dare not strike the earth. So waiting until we struck the bank of the lake, I opened the valve wide open, which dropped us down into the Bay of Aquaitic, which surrounds Glen Island, the next neighboring Island to the Thousand Islands. We went across the lake for two miles, the basket and us half the time under the water, before the balloon bursted and collapsed. Then we were within one mile of the shore on the other side of the Island, where we were picked up by a gasoline launch, and taken to Glen Island, where we notified the Chicago Aeronautique club of orr landing and also wired our families and other friends that we had landed safely and without any serious injuries. Before leaving Glen Island Mr. Case was presented with a beautiful Canadian flag of silk, with the names of
eighteen young ladies from Picton, Ont., worked upon it. The ladies who presented him with the flag were in the launch that brought him safely to the shore after making his landing. The flag is a handsome one and Mr. Case values it very highly. Picton is five miles from where Mr. Case and Perrigo made their landing.
