MRS. PEARY.
The Important Part She Played in the
Recent Arctic Expedition.

Recent Arctic Expedition
Lieut.. Peary's wife IS either a
wonderfully affectiouate wife, or a
woman influenced by love of science
such as has actuated few of her sex.
We read of Catharine Herschel bearing
her brothers astronomical instruments
through ice and snow; and Of her keep
ing watch over him while sunk fzthoms
deep in celestial speculation, until her
hapless ''toes were frozen. and her
fingers turned to Jumps of jelly But
never before has woman insisted upon
sharing the hardships of Arctic expIora-
ton. Her presence unquestionably en-
couraged and strengthened her husband
to unusual efforts, and the fact that he
undertook, and accomplished, sledge
Journey of thirteen hundred miles
whereby he made many valuable dis
coveries. and confirmed his theories as
to the means of approaching the pole,
may have been largely due to the in
fiuence of Mrs. Peary, who, 1t is said, IS
proficient in the special branches Of
science which have fitted the lieutenant
for his arduous task. 1t is delightful
news that Mrs. Pe2ry suffered no harm
from her toll and exposure, and returns
in full health from such a trip as no
woman ever essayed before. Peary
broke leg during his voyage, and it
was feared that the expedition must be
abandoned; but his wife nursed him
back to health, refusing to return to
milder ATTITUDES when she had q chancs.
And on his great sledge-journey. Peary
had safety, reputation and noble wife
to return to. Hence it is not at all sur
prising that he did return, after going
as far north as any discoverer has VEN
tured. i. e., latitude So deg, "a min

Barber county. where he continued in
the same business up to the time of his
death. He leaves wife, one daughter,
Carrie, young lady of 10 and one son,
Donald, aged Is. 1t Is scarcely neces-
Sary for us to speak his encomiums. He
was we'll known by all the old settlers
of the county, and all with one accord
speak his praises as a man, a neighbor
and citizen. We extend the sympa-
thy of the entire community to the be-
reaved family, for the community feel

ED. INDEX: Chester 1. Long was in
this city yesterday. You doubtless
know Chester. He of feminine grace
and hopeless aspirations. The unfOrtu-
nate young man who is burdened with
the republican nomination for congress,
and whose running qualities are Derry
ed from the medicinal qualities of the
gypsum water OF the classical hills Of
Barber county. Well, he was here in
Wichita. He was here seeking inform
alton as to his strength. He got it. In
fact he got in such large frigid chunks
that it froZe the marrow in his bones,
and caused the chilling winds of de-
spondency TO toy with his sprouting
whiskers. He wandered about the
streets like bubble upon the storm
tossed sea of political expectancy, until
finally he floated into business house
on Douslass avenue, and seiZing the
hand of the proprietor, Charles Reck-
meyer, shook it with a true political
fervor.
Reckmeyerh has always been staunch
republican, and Chester knowing this,
thought that at last he had met one
supporter in Wichita.
