Lieutenant Melville, the explorer, who
comrades, has pet scheme for reaching
the pole by the way of Franz Josef Land,
ana is anxious to put it into execution.
Besides these there are various other polar
expeditions planning in various parts of
the world.
The close of the nineteenth century,
therefore, will witness a plucly race for
the pole with brave fellows in the run
ming.
Two hundred and eighty-six years ago
that valiant Dutch navigator, Henry
hudson, reached SO deg. % min. north
latitude, in his clumsy wooden sailing
vessel, and the best that has ever been
done, the great record among all Polar
explorers, is So deg. A min., made by
two officers of the Greedy expedition in
1882. That means, as anyone can see for
himself, that modern civilization has
been able, in nearly 300 years, TO gain
only 200 miles on the record OF Hudson
made three centuries ago. At that rate,
allowing an advance of one degree CEN
fury, the North Pole would be discovered
about the year 2600 AID.
It is, however, worth while to consider
briefly what has usually happened to
these explorers when their ships have
been crushed in the ice. They usually
get their stock of thrilling adventures in
one or more of the following ways:
1.-The ship is crushed in the ice
and all on board are Obliged to get ont
and walk home. That means good deal
when the getting out takes place some
where around the eightieth parallel of
latitude. with the thermometer seventy
degrees below zero, in the midst OF an
Ice blocked sea, with the ice moving I'M
der them. Sometimes they fall into cav
ems between towering masses of ice,
sometimes they have to swim across open
places or take 10 small boats, if they have
them; sometimes they die. The Tyson
party from the Polaris foated 800 miles
on an immense foe-where they spent a
whole winter during which child was
born on the ice.
2. Their supply of food is lost or ex-
hausted and starvation stares them in the
face. They eat shrimps, bears, walruses,
and other things if they can find them;

its turn and so on until the good people
in lower ATTITUDES have become tired of
sending out fresh ships.
In 1929 Captain Ross started northward
on the Victory. The Victory was crushed
in the ice. In 1916 Sir John Franklin
led the Erebus and the Terror within the
Arctic circle and both staid there ground

and sometimes to the difficulty of locating
any particular spot on these immense
foes to the uniformity in the surface ap-

spending months looking for a polar bear
which one of the party shot on an ice foe,
but which was never found, owing to the
drift.

seurvy, the disease being the result of
improper or insufficient nourishment.
Another consequence of this state of af-

Take the famous expedition which left

Franklin, the English explorer. Eleven
years elapsed before the bones ana relics
of Sir John and his party were discovered,

The wave of fashion did not engulf the

now swept over them, and the summer
styles show great changes from the spring
novelties.

waists gathered, and they are sewn to-
gether, or on either side Of band. For

FORT SMITH ACCEPTS.

We took occasion some time since
to point out the necessity for prompt
and intelligent action on the part Of
Texarkana's people, If they desired
their city to secure any Of the supe-
rior local advantages which must fol-
low the building Of the new line Of
railway south from Kansas City, Mo-,
by way Of Fort Smith and Texarkana,
and possibly Shreveport, La, to the
Cult. We cited at the time Shreye-
ports moro than liberal offer Of lands
and money for these same local priv
llegcs. II is now Fort Smiths turn,
and the Border City has come to the
front with rush, as may be seen by
the account Of the action Of her cit
izons in this regard. Their action
has been prompt and unhesitoting and
should it fail Of the desired purpose
the blame will not rest with them.
The following report of. the move
ment in that city was sent out yester-
day:
A monster mass meeting Of the
citizens was held in the Circuit Court
room last night for the purpose Of
considering the proposition made by
the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf
Railway magnates looking to the run
ming Of the road into this city.
The proposition in brief is, that the
railroad people agree to extend their

John r. Mcoartnev Dead.

AT an early hour this morning news
of the death Of Engineer John Nc
Cartney, who was taken from his
englnein the Texas n Pacific yards,
in an unconscious condition yesterday
a. m, was circulated over the city,
causing deep regret among the friends
of deceased md his bereaved family.
AS stated in yesterdays issue Of the
DEMOCRAT, Mr.. Mccartney was en-
gagged in his usual occupation as
engineer on the switch engine in the
local L. q p. yards, when he was
stricken with paralysis. Th6anfortu-
nate man was observed by bis fire.
man just as he became unconscious,
falling to arouse him, the fireman be-
came frightened, and, leaving the en-
gine, ran to procure assistance. When
the men who had been notified reach
ed the engine, they found the strlck-
en- man leaning ag0inst the boiler
where he had fallen and the heat
from which had burned his hands
and face in several places. The I'M
conscious man was taken from the
engine and conveyed to his home,
where everything chat medical skill
or unceasing care could accomplish,
was done to ameliorate his condition.
But II all proved to NO avail. After
lingering for twenty hours, in death
like stupor, the unfortunate man
breathed his last, dying just as the
dawn ofa new day had thrown its
mantle of gray over the heavens ana
chased away the gloomy shadows Of
night. The DEMOCRAT extends con-
dolence,to the grief stricken widow
and fatherless children of the deceas-

A DARING ROBBERY.

Another daring train robbery is
reported, Pacific, Mo, a station on the
Missouri Pacific railway, being the
scene of the beld exploit The rob-
bers, seven in number, boarded the
train at Pacific, Mo-, waiting until
that station was well behind before
showing up in their true colors. At
given signal, three of the gang
climbed over the tender, and covering
the engineer with their rev6lvers,
forced him to stop the train. The re-
mainder of the band then proceeded to
Pacific express car, which they forced
open by shattering the door. The
messenger was quickly overpowered
and the company's safe ri1ed of over
four thousand dollars in cash. The
scene of the robbery was less than 30
miles from st. Louis The passengers,
among whom were Governor Stone
and State Treasurer Stephens, were
wholly unmolested. After securing
their booty the daring bandits jump
ed from tho train and quickly disap-
peared in the neighboring forests.
The alarm was given at once and
posses are securing the country in

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ativej efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and feyers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
