A Balloon Ascension.
The following account of a very ex
citing episode in aeronautics, will I
have added interest for Skowhegan
people because of the author, Mrs. |
1 Emily P. Webb, formerly a resident
of Skowhegan. The incident has
been made the subject of extensive
news dispatches in the daily papers.
Mrs. Webb’s narative is in the nature
of a special account, exclusively for
! the Reporter, and may be relied up
on as accurate in every detail.
Saturday afternoon, the twentieth
of March was the close of a week of
sports at Tournament Park in Pasa
dena, Calif. Every day had witness
ed exciting games, and races of all
kindB, polo, football, base ball, and
the racing of thorough*),:-t horses,
each competing in turn for the en
thusiastic cheers of the happy crowds
who thronged the grounds, and nu de
the air ring with their loud huzzas.
The Park was decorated with hun
dreds of gay pennants and floating
flags, and the very spirit of spoit
seemed to float in the air.
The merry Tournament closed with
a balloon ascension, in charge of Cap
tain Mueller, an experienced aero
i naut, who took with him, five of our
well known citizens. His plan was,
j to go north and land in Altadena, ,
about five miles from Pasadena.'
| They started under unpropitious cir
cumstances, the clouds hung low and
j threatening, and a cold bleak
wind was blowing, which by dark,
was accompanied by a driving rain.
From the time they left on Saturday
afternoon at three o’clock, until the
following Tuesday at the same hour,
nothing was heard from them, and
their fate was shrouded in mystery.
A heavy and driving rain poured j
i down upon Pasadena all day Sunday,
! and we could see the mountains were
fast being covered with the falling
snow. The men took with them food
I sufficient for only two meals, and
I even tire most sanguine, feared they
might have perished in the storm in
some inaccessible mountain fastness,
remote from any habitation of man.—
I never knew such excitment and
anxiety in the city, since those dread
ful days, when so many of our citizens
were in San Francisco at the time of
the earthquake.
Many parties were formed, hun
dreds of men in all, to go in search of
them, going north into the mountains
and canyons, in the face of the wind
and the storm to hunt for the missing
men. It was arranged that two lorfg
whistles should be blown to inform
the people, if the searching party
should find the men alive, and un
harmed, and five short ones if they
had perished. The very air seemed
tense with anxiety, and almost vi
brant with feeling, as hour after hour
we listened for the Bhrill voice of the
whistle, and listened in vain. The
man in his office, the teamster on the
street, the woman abroad and at
home thought of nothing else,—“per
haps these men are perishing!” At
length the tension of feeling was
broken on Tuesday afternoon, by two
prolonged exultant whistles, and
everyone took a long breath, and re
joiced with a thankful heart.
I cannot give you the story of the
thrilling adventures of these aero
nauts as 1 would like to, but will tell
vou a little of their perils, and hair
breadth escapes. After leaving the
Park, a strong wind bore them north
until they sailed high over Altadena,
and looking down they saw fire and
smoke arising from a large tract be
low them. They had no desire to
descend into that, and even if they
had, the power to do so was taken
from their hands, for they were in the
clutches of a mighty wind which took
The Greatest Success
Known in Treating
Rheumatism.
Uric-O Expells the Poisonous
Uric and Rheumatic Acid
from the System, Insuring
a Permanent Cure.
The Rheumatic person is skeptical regard
ing the claims of almost any remedy adver
tiled as a cure for Rheumatism and one can
scarcely blame him for being so. All the
plasters and liniments combined never actual
ly cured a case of Rheumatism. They may
relieve it in one quarter but it is sure to
break out somewhere else. The only true
way to cure Rheumatism is to drive it from
the system, for as long as the Uric and
Rheumatic Acid remains in the blood, one is
in ver free from the trouble. Uric-O seeks
out the Rheumatic poison in the blood,
muscles and kidneys, renders it inert and
harmless and drives it out of the system. It
is'composed of perfect antidotes for the
rheumatic acid poison in the system, and the
secret of its wonderful success lies in the fact
that it is designed to cure Rheumatism only.
Uric-O is sold and recommended by F. W.
Bucknam and by druggists everywhere at 75c
and S1.00 a bottle. They will furnish
samples and literature upon request or same

possession of the balloon, and bore it
off upon its tempestuous wings. I
will quote Captain Muella’s account
as it is more graphic than any I can
give you. “With the suction of a cy
clone, like a feather we were swept
upward toward the mountain peaks.
To have tried to land then would have
been certain death. We would have
been dashed to pieces. No man could
have acted quickly enough to have
avoided the rush of wind that poss
essed us. No man would have dared
to. We-heid a council of war. The
gentleman told me that to go over the
mountain ranges to a point where we
could land in safety near a supply
station, might mean a hundred miles.
I threw out seven sacks of sand seek
ing an upper air current, that would
carry us back over the San Gabriel
Valley. We passed through three
distinct strata Of air currents, each
higher one being colder than the one
beneath,—and three strata of snow
clouds, reaching a height of 1300 feet.
All of these currents were sweeping
northward, and 1 had but two and
one-half sacks of ballast left. “We
must land as soon as possible” I
shouted to the men, “and we must
first find out where we are.” The
clouds were so dense that we could
hardly tell in which direction the
earth was in. 1 pulled the valve cord
and watched my barometer. 1 could
bear the men gasp, catching their
breath. We dropped three thousand
feet in less than a..minute. Tnrough
a rift in the lower fog I saw a ragged
peak, barren save for a scorched pine
tree. In all that panorama beneath
us it was the one spot big enough i o
hold the basket of the balloon. To
see, to judge, to do,—all in an instant;
that was the necessity. The men re
sponded to my wild shouts like steel
springs released. When we were
within 300 feet of the mountain, I
commanded and everything wub
thrown overboard; tiie valve was
pulled wide; the balloon was bucked
inward to its apex, forming an almost
perfect parachute, and the car luffed
almost to stillness, then settled upon
the rock within ten feet of a precipice
reaching hundreds of feet below. I
tell you for sure that was the most
miraculous landing I have ever heard
of. It was the closest call of my life.
Ah! we went down like a hawk. I
thought of the big black bird as we
Bhot. It was tiie one chance in a
thousand to save those men. You
see the ballast was gone, and I could
only drift on and on farther away
from life to certain death. I know
that I did right and no man flinched
at my perilous decision. 1 am happy
it was so.”
After landing they tied th“ balloon
by the trail rope to a giant pine, and
went floundering through the snow to ,
the shelter of a group of pines farther
ahead. Before leaving Pasadena
every man was told to dispose of his
matches, and everything about his
clothing that could be iu any way ex
plosive, or take Are by coming even
in remote contact with gas, and here
they were, upou a bleak mountain
peak, covered with snow in an un
known region, with darkness settling
down,—and no possible chance for a
fire to keep them from freezing. In
desperation each one went through
his pockets again and again, hoping
by some fortunate oversight at start
ing, a match might have been over
looked. At length—between the out
side and lining of the vest of one of
them, a match was found where it had
slipped through the pocket of Edwin
Dabschutz, and on this, hope revived,
and they eagerly collected together
heaps of brush and fir boughs, and
such small papers as they had about
them, and gathered in nn anxious
group about the little pile,—and one
struck the fateful match. Every
man’s face was tense and white with
suppressed feeling, as he watched the
little blaze, upon which their very
lives hung, glow brightly for a mo
ment, sputter, and when just threat
ening to go out, catch upon the oily
Hr boughs, then leap up, widen
and deepen into a roaring flame. It
lit tlie mountain side for miles, and
they (elt sure they were safe for the
night. They shouted and sent out
their tialloos through the wide lonely
spaces, but their calls for help
brought no return, save the empty
echoes of their own voices, reverber
ating around the snow crowned peaks
that stood about them. At last these
weary voyagers of the air settled
down for the night, but found little
sleep. At break of day, after pnrtak
ing of a frugal meal of the remnants
of food they had brought; they start
ed out to find some way of escape
from starvation and death.
Through piercing cold and driving
snow they climbed down the moun
tain eide, every step full of danger,
upon the brinks of falls and almost
impassible snow, into hidden rifts and
gullies, until they came to the Te
junga river whose icy waters they had
to ford a number of times, only to
find after all these dangers and hard
ships, that they were at the end of a
canyon, which dropped down sheer
hundreds of feet. The only way now
was to retrace their dreadful journey,
recross the icy folds, and climb again
the mountain peak. The return was
far more fatiguing than the descent.
At last they found themselves back
in the place where they had camped
the previous night. After a rest they
descried before them a ridge a short
distance ahead, and with' renewed
hope they rushed forward, hoping
from its summit to look off for miles,
but upon reaching it, alas, they found
they were still above the clouds, and
so could not find safety in that direc
tion. in looking about for a trail,
one of the men discovered down the
mountain side,—a house! With a
loud yell they all started for it,—their
feet gave way, they slid, scrambled,
rolled over the snow pell melt toward
the place.
They had come to Colby’s ranch in
the heart of the mountains, which
was eleven miles from any communi
cation witli the outside world, the
nearest place being Switzers camp,
thirteen miles from Pasadena. They
were overcome with joy, for despair
had begun to clutch their hearts. Mr.
and Mrs. Colby hearing the great
white silence broken by the sound of
human voices, rushed out bareheaded
to meet them, filled with amazement,
that these men could come to them at
this season of the year, and out of n
terrific storm, but they welcomed
them with open arms. A huge fire
was soon roaring on the hearth, be
fore which they warmed themselves,
and dried their frozen clothing, while
Mrs. Colby prepared for them the
best meal they thought they had ever
tasted. In the meantime the storm
had increased with such fury it was
out of the question to think of going
farther, and here they were sheltered
and cared for until Tuesday morning,
when over a trail, packed with solid
snow—of from three to six feet, they
started for home by way of Switzers
camp, with Mr. Colby for a guide.
They were met on their return by
their friends, like men coming back
from the dead. And never was the
shrill scream of the whistle that an
nounced the good news, heard with
greater pleasure than it was upon
that evenful day in Pasadena.
It is seldom that so many and such
strange adventures fall to the lot of
men within a period of three days.
The wild sweep of a balloon over
mountain flames, in the teeth of a
howling storm, a descent like the
swoop of an eagle through a break in
the clouds, a landing upon the edge
of a precipice, a life and death
struggle through snow, and almost
impassible tangles of chaparrel in a
frozen wilderness, to them unknown,
a moment when the life of the whole
party depended upon one solitary
match, these are only a few of the
tii rilling and dramatic adventures
that befell these men of whom 1 write.
Helpful Hints on Hair Health
Scalp and Hair Troubles Generally
—
Dandruff is a contagious disease
caused by a microbe which also pro
duces baldness. Never use a comb or
brush belonging to someone else. No
; matter how cleanly the owner may
be, these articles may lie infested
with microbes, which will infect your
scalp. It is far easier to catch hair
; microbes than it is to get rid of them,
and a single stroke of an infected
i comb or brush often produces the
cause of baldness. Never try on any
body else’s hat for the reason that
many a hatband is a nesting place for
I microbes.
If you happen to be troubled with
I dandruff, idling scalp, falling hair or
baldness, we have a remedy which
we positively know will cure these
j troubes, and we are so sure of this
j that we offer it to you with the un
I derstauding that it will cost you noth
j ing for the trial if it does not produce
the results we claim. This remedy Is
called Rexall “93” Hair Tonic. It is
the most scientific remedy for all
J scalp and hair troubles, and we Know
I of nothing else that equals it for
j effectiveness. We know this because
I of the results It has produced in huu
j dreds of cases.
Rexall “93” Hair Tonic will posi
tively banish dandruff permanently,
restore natual color when its loss has
been brought about by disease, and
make the hair natually silky, soft and
glossy. It does this because it
stimulates the hair follicles, removes
dnndruff, destroys the germ matter,
and brings about a free, healthy
circulation of blood which nourishes
the hair roots, causing them to
tighten and grow new hair. We
want everybody in Skowhegan
who has any trouble with hair or
scalp to know that Rexall “93” Hair
Tonic is the best hair tonic and re
storative in existence, and no one
should scoff at or doubt this state
ment until they have put our claims
to a fair test, with the understanding
that they pay us nothing for the
remedy If it does not give full and
complete satisfaction In every par
ticular. Two sizes, 50 cents and SI.00.

NEW THEORY SPREADS
RAPIDLY OVER COUNTRY.
Colorado Woman Gives Reasons for Her
Abiding Faith in Cooper.
L. T. Cooper’s theory concerning
the human stomach, is being given
more respect and comment every dav.
Cooper claims that 7o per cent of
all ill health is due to stomach trouble
When ii terviewed about his theory
recently, he said: “.Stomach trouble
is the great curse of the 20th century
so far as the civilized races are
concerned. Practically all of the
chronic ill health of this generation
is caused by abnormal stomachic con
ditions. In earlier days, when the
human race was closer to nature, and
men and women worked all day out
of doors, digging their frugal ex
istence from the soil, the tired,
droopy, half-sick people that are
now so common, did not exist.
“To be sure, there was Hickness in
those days, but it was of a virulent
character, and only temporary.
There was none of this half-sick con
dition all the time with which so many
are alllieted now-a-days.
“I know positively that every bit
of this chronic ill health is caused by
stomach trouble. The human stom
ach in civilized people to-day is de
generate. It lacks tone and strength.
Tills weakness has gradually coine
through sedentary existence’ I
further know that few people can be
sick with the digestive apparatus in
perfect shape. The sole reason for
my success is because mv New Dis
covery medicine tones the stomach
up to required strength in auout six
weeks’ time. That is why I have had
more people come and thank me
wherever I have gone to introduce
my medicine, than I have had time to
talk with

any kind, nor anything sweet: and
even then I would be in distress
arter meals. Any food of a solid na
ture caused a feeling of heaviness
after eating.
"I tried everything I could hear of,
and took many different remedies
without benefit. Finally I heard of
the Cooper remedies and obtained a
treatment of Cooper’s New dis
covery.
"I never in my life found a medi
; cine ho helpful. The first bottle put
' my digestive organs into good con
dition, allaying the pain in my stom
ach as well as relieving the severity
of the headaches to a very large ex
tent. .Since taking a thorough course
of this medicine my trouble has en
tirely disappeared, headaches and all,
and 1 never felt better in my life.
"1 would not be without Cooper’s
New Discovery in my house. Any
one who is suffering in any way from
stomach trouble should iiot hesitate
in giving it a t rial.”
The Cooper remedies are sold by all
druggists everywhere. A sample
bottle of Cooper’s New Discovery

There is something wrong. The simplest way to bring health
to the body and color to the cheeks is to correct the faults and
weakness of the system. An occasional dose of the true“L. F.M

indigestion and kindred ailments. The standard family remedy
