BALLOON TOOK FARMER WITH IT
Jerked Into Space With Head Down
and Carried Up Over 1,000 Feet Fi
nally Climbs To Safety.
READING, Pa., Oct. 3. Jacob Geh
ring, a Hummelstown farmer, went to
the county fair today and had an ex
perience he never will forget.
While Larue, the aeronaut, was pre
paring for his ascension Gehring stood
watching him, unmindful of the fact
that he was standing among a lot of
ropes. When word was given and the
balloon shot upward the crowd was
terrified to see the farmer dangling
head downwards from an anchor rope.
La Rue shouted to biro to swing him
self upward and catch the rope about
his feet This he managed to do after
several unsuccessful attempts, while
women in the crowd below fainted and
others prayed.
Finally, after the balloon had reach
ed a height of more than a thousand
feet, by a desperate effort and with
bleeding hands, Gehring managed to
swing himself up and climb astride
the cannon behind La Rue,
At this moment the gale caught the
balloon and while It swung from side
to side in the wind. La Rue slipped
into the cannon and was shot out with
a parachute and descended to the
ground. Relieved of La Rue's weight
the balloon shot still higher, and was
carried away with the fcreeze. Geh
ring, however, succeeded in finding
the cord and opening the valve, began
to descend slowly. An hour later he
landed near the river, two miles dis
tant, uninjured except for his torn
hand.
When he returned to the grounds he
was greeted as a hero, end a hand
some purse was made up to compen
sate him for his fright

tory In the convention of organization
now in session here. Under the direc
tion of this' faction .the party has vir
tually backed down from its strong
position against the government and
it is predicted that, by doing so. i
ias greatly weakened its cause in the
ayes of the people generally. In
principle the Viborg manifesto signed
'jy members of tne douma who herd
illegal sessions at Viborg after the
czar had - dissolved the law-making
body is approved but ail force is taken
from this declaration by other actions
of the conventipn. The program of
passive resistance to the government
and refusal to furnish men for the
army are both sidetracked. . The time
is not ripe to interfere, with conscrip
tion, the congress asserts. V For the
Mime reason the party will not at
tempt to induce people to refuse
ionger to pay taxes. In the future it
was decided to devote efforts of the
party to winning the coming election
and enlarging the powers of the
douma. '
Officials Are Elected.' .
ST. PETERSBURG," Oct. 9. The
constitutional democratic party has
virtually sounded' its own death knell
by the action of its national conven
tion at Helsingfors. In backing down
from former position of strong op
position to the government.
This is the general opinion of all
(lasses. Government circles are
highly elated over the action of the
convention and officials make no ef
fort to conceal their happiness. By
giving the constitutional ' democrats
enough rope. It Is asserted, they have
hanged themselves. The loss of pres
tige sustained by constitutional demo
crats; it is believed, will make it pos
sible for the government to dominate
the coming election. -
As a Result Many Believe Douma Will
Never Hold Another Session While
Others Feel Sure It Will Not Meet
Again for Two. Years or More at
: Least.
ST. PETERSIU'RO, Oct. 10. Prob
ably never will there be another meet
ing of the douma unless another . revo
lution similar to that which forced
tho concession of the putative nat
ional assembly, which was recently
dissolved by the cznr, makes it neces
sary to call tho assembly together to
allay the aroused people temporarily.
In circles close to th government
the opinion prevails that, the donmn
despite promises from the czar, will
not be summoued for at least two
years. The government now feel
strong enough, In view of the loss of
Influence sustained bv. the constitu
tional democratic party through Its
back down In its national convention
meeting in Helsingfors, to attempt
resumption of arbitrary rule. The
Incentive to postpone the calling of
the douma for two years Is fonud in
the offer mad1? by a foreign syndicate
to make a new loan to Russia condi
tional upon the abandonment of the
plans to reassemble the douma.
It Is estimated that in the two days
since the action of the constitutional
democratic convention became known
the government has gained, greater
prestige than It has had at any time
wunm two years.

else than a robbery. Mr. Grave In a
very humorous manner, "pictured the
experience Mr. Dobson underwent
In ,becoming a Republican, intimating
very strongly that this thing "pie"
was responsible for the change of
heart of his Republican opponent.
Mr. Graves also discussed state Issue
and defended his record as solicitor.
Mr. Dobson began his reply by say
ing that Mr. Graves was very foud
of "pie" too, and cited the changing
of the counties of this district a an
instance to prove the fact In defend
ing his legislative record Mr. Dobson
said he (Dobson) was but a bump on
a log down there, as everything was
Democratic and therefore he could do
very little to bt.'lp tho people. Mr.
Dobson -said he ntmalned a Democrat
as long'as Democracy meant some
thing but when the party got to that
point where It forsook everything
that Jefferson and Vance stood for he
left "her," aud had never regretted
his change. He ridiculed the Watts
law, saying that great moral move-,
ments to be successful required great
moral leaders and asked who were
Watts and Simmons that they ihoufd
become champions for temperance.
In a 20-uilnutea rejoinder Mr.
Graves again dealt his opponent some
hard knocks, asking him If he wa a
henchman. for Marlon Butler. He also
cited an article Dobson signed in
which the writer said no decent man
couldi vote tbe Republican ticket
The debate -was a most Interesting'
affair, each speaker holding "his own"
and the crowd In attendance enjoyed
It thoroughly. Seldom, if ever before,
jas a joint discussion here been more
enjoyed than that of this afternoon.
