Four of the balloons that started in j the international race are still miss- j ing, and today little doubt remains [ that they have fallen either into the North Sea or the Raltic and theirdar luk aeronauts drowned. A report jnst received from Heligoland Fa.vs that the Oastilla fell into the North Sea near that city, and that both of its aero nauts were rescued with difficulty. One of the patrol boats sent to watch the balloonists effected the rescue. The Oaetilli was piloted by Senor Montojo. HARDLY IN THE AIR. ; T! e Castilla was one of the three balloons that sailed in the James ] Gordon Bennett cup race on Saturday j her competitors being the German Busley ana the Swiss Helvetia, both of which are still missing. It is con sidered impossible that they are still in the nir. If they alighted on the land, it is believd, word would have been received from them. The Busley was piloted by Dr. Riemeycr, the Helvetia by Colonel Schaecb. Each balloon also carried an assistaut. TWO GERMANS MISSING. The German balloons Hegersell,pilot ed by Lieutenant Toertsch, and the Pluin, in charge of Herr Hackstetter, which started in the endurance race Monday, have not been heard from. Their capacities were respectively L -450 and 1,696 cubit meters and this amount of gas could hardly keep them aloft more than forty-eight hours. BRITON HAS BEST RECORD. The British balloon Banshee,report ed in these dispatches yesterday as the probable winner of the Bennett cup, still has the best record. It came down at Hidding, Schleswig-Holstein, [435 kilometers from Berlin. •""Tersonals. | I— «■»« Mrs. Leo Metzgar, est Mahoning street, attended the funeral of Mrs. Charles Hile at Watsontown yesterday.

McHENRY. Candidate for Second Congressional Term. FROM THE DAILY MAIL OCT. 1, IQOB. MR. McHENRY'S SPEECHES. Hon. John G. McHenry's speeches I on banking and currency questions are' commanding the widest attention aud j commendation from men of all sec- j tions and conditions. Last week we ■ quoted from a letter written by Hon. John Sharp Williams, the gifted aud courageous leader of the minority in j the House of Representatives at Wash-! ington.on his Bedford Springs' speech, j Below will be found a letter from the Rev. H. J. Whalen,Pastor of the First Baptist Church, New Castle, Pa., on the same subject. The statesman of the south and the clergyman of the North come together in their estima tion of our capable Congressman : First Baptist Church, New Castle, Pa. Pastor's Residence, Sept. 28, 1908. Hon. John G McHenry, Benton, Pa. My Dear Sir:—l beg the privilege of writing yon my high appreciation of two of your recent addresses upon the banking question. I refer to your ad dresses before the Grange Bankers at Troy and before the State Bankers' association at Bedford Springs, 'jj Forced by my position to be a stud ent of economic questions. I am read ing current discussions with deep in-! terest, and among all of our public | men I believe no one has so success- j ' W--iKrrx> v. r - -v MESSAGE FROM FARTHEST NORTH: NEW YORK, Oot. 14. The first message from Dr. Frederick E. Cook, the Arctic explorer, since he started for the pole from a point north of Etali on February 26 last has been received in this city. It was brought here by Rudolph Franke, who accom panied Dr. Cooke on the early stage of his journey aud who received it from the explorer by messengers whom he | sent back to the winter base after he was well on his way to the Farthest North. The message was written on March 17 last, about three weeks after Dr. j Cook had started on the last stage of j lilb journey. It was dated "Polar Sea. north of Cape Hubbard," and said; that up to that point everything had gone very well, although the weather j was extremely cold. He was making a straight line for the pole at that time, he said, and expected to be back j at the base late in May. "I am making a straight course for i the pole," Dr. Cook wrote. "The | boys are doing well and I have plenty <' of dogs. I hope to succeed. At any j rate I shall make a desperate effort. While I expect to get back by the end of May, still I wish you to be ready togo to Acponie, the island off North j Star, where the whalers' steamers come, by the fifth of June, and if ij am not back togo home with the j whalers. I think, however, we will j be back." Audience Was Well Pleased. Those who have ever read the book 'Graustark," by George Barr He- Cutcheon, aud a mighty interesting novel it is, dealing with a subject ever new, yet ever old, that of love, must have been much gratified if they attended the dramatization of the j novel «t the opera hoase last night. . when Stephanie Longfellow as the | princess,ably supported by Burt King, the adventuresome young American i prince, gave it most excellent rendi tion, supported by a powerful com- j pany. "Graustark" the play is several' leagues ahead of "Graustark" the j novel. Of course, the story of the piece is familiar to readers and theatre goers, and the play-wright has follow ed the novel rather closely, Improving where she has changed. It's well staged and capably acted aud is pre- sented with vim and dash. Stephanie Longfellow as Yetive was winsome and gracefal,forgetting the dignity of the princess in the gracious and warm impulses of the woman. Burt L. King was a handsome American lover, and the other characters were capably tak en. The stage effects are excellent. Robert Sifug, of Bath, Northampton county, broke hiß collar bone while playing foot ball and John Sensbangh, a student at Muhlenberg college, Al lentown,sustained severe scalp wounds on Saturday. ZZT fully brought the intricacies "of the currency question within the giasp of the people. Your district is to be congratulated upon being represented by oue whose utterances in the last Congress, and whose recent addresses are shaping public opinion upon oue of the im portant issues of the present campaign. Vour position of the guarantee of bank deposits is invincible, while the down-right honesty that permeates your every address, marks you plainly as a man of the people—and such a man as the times demand. Very Sincerely, H. J. WHALEN. It would be impossible to form a higher tribute to the services of a pub lic official than that expressed in the letter of Mr. Whaleu to Mr. McHenry. Every voter in the Sixteenth Congress ional district ought to be proud of the fact that our Representative in Con gress is BO generally praised by men of the highest intelligence in all sec tions of the country. When men are making estimates of representatives they also form ideas of the citizenship of the crumiiiiv iu which tliry live and it cat) be safelv said no mean jupiuion is held of a community which | i« represented by au official who coiii i mauds such admiration mid approval. Oil F; 100 HIKERS AREESTOIIP VIENNA, Oct. 14 . Over one-hundred miners are en tombed iu the Koenig coal mine in Silesia. The catastrophe was caused by an explosion. No hope remains of saving any of the imprisoned miners, as the fire has shut off the work of rescue. Six charred bodies have been recov ered and their condition shows that they were burned to death rather tliau killed by the explosion. It is believed that there are nearly 200 men entombd, and that they will I all be burned to death. The fire originated in an upper gal ' lery and spread so quickly that the es j cape of the miners was cutoff. Rescu ing parties attempted to enter the I mine bat were driven back by the | flames and fames. Great crowds of frantic friends and relatives- of tlie | miners surround the mouth of the imine. A number of the wives of the | victims became uncontrollable from their grief and were only restrained from entering by armed guards. Rejoice that yen have health and let the other fellow worry over his i wealth. Making Good. I Th»re is no way of making laattna i friends like "Making Good;" and Ddetof ; Pierce's medicines well exemplify this, 1 and their friends, after more than two | decades of popularity, are numbered by I the hundreds of thousands. They have "made good" aud they have not mad* ! drunkards. A goixl. hoiie-t. square-deal medicine of known composition is Dr. Pierce's Uoldca Medical Discovery. Xt still enjoys an iin moiiM' Mile while most of the prepare \ tions that have come Into prominence in the earlier period of its popularity have "gone by the board" and arc never mofe heard of. There must bo some reason for this long-time popularity and that is to j be found In Its superior merits. When oner- given a fair trial for weak stomach, or tor liver ami blood affections, its supe- I riiir curative qualities are soon manifest; ! hence it has survived and grown in pop ular favor, while scores of less meritorious I articles have suddenly flashed into favor fur a brief period anu then been as soon forgotten. j For a torpid liver with its attendant | Indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, per } haps dizziness, foul breath, nasty coated tongue, with bitter taste, loss of appetite. | with distress after eating, nervousness ! and debility, nothing is so good as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It's an honest, square-deal medicine with all i Its Ingredients printed on bottle-wrapper j —no secret, no hocus-pocus humbug. therefore iton'f accept a aubstitutf that j the dealer may possibly make a little big i ger profit. Intint on your right to have j what you call for. Don't buy Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion expecting it to prove a "cure-all." It Is only advised for woman's special ail ments It makes weak women strong and j sick women well. Less advertised then | some preparations aold for like purposes. Its sterling curative virtues still maintain i its position In the front ranks, where it stood over two decades ago. As an In vigorating tonic and strengthening nerv ine it is uneoualed. It won't satisfy those who want "booze," for there is not a drop of alcohol In It. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, the orioi ruil Little Liver Pills, although the first pill of their kind In the market, still lead, and when once tried are ever afterwards In faver. Easy to take as candy—one to i three a dose. Mush imitated but never equaled.
