England Repudiates DEGREES Granted in
Oklahoma Courts.
WICHITA, Kan, Dec. 4.-Her Mai
esty's empire has taken issue with
Oklahoma over the divorce laws of the.
latter Territory, according to q dis
ratch from Oklahoma City. Recently
Peter Nelson, a wealthy English gem
tleman, came from London to Okla
homa, and at the end Of ninety
days made application for a di-
vorce from his wife, Edith Neil
son. The papers in the case were
served on the defendant by means OF q
registered letter sem to her address in
London. She consulted the legal de-
partnent Of the English government
on the subject, with the result that
Her Majesty's government held that
the divorce laws of Oklahoma would
not be respected in the Queens do
minion. An elaborate opinion onsthe
matter was forwarded to the Judge of
the trial court in Oklahoma, repletc
with blue ribbons aud gilt seals. AS
u great many wealthy English people
have secured divorces in oklahoma,
the position taken by the English gov
crnment is important to them.

ANTARCTIC MYSTERIES.
n Region where hummer Never smilcs
and mo- Explorer Goes.

II Region Where summer Never Smiles
and mo- Explorer Goes.
The Antarctic is a region of eternal
winter and unmelting snow, where
SO far as is known-nota single plant
finds life within the circle and where
never q living creature roalns. Inc
zoologist is not drawn to the south
ern circle as he is to the northern
and yet the attractions for him are
great, because they have all the
charms Of the unknown. It is be-
lieved that only a few Of the hardest
birds build in a few of the sheltered
Of the Antarctic, but who
knows?
Who can say that deep within those
awful solitudes may not be revealed
the mystery of the life of the fur seal
when he vanishes from the waters OF
the North Pacific? Or that on some
Antarctic continent or island may not
be found the priceless remnant OF the
great aux tribe? We know not, at
any rate, what riches or poverty may
be there until we go to see. And no.
body has yet gone to see-beyond the
fringe.
It is a curious fact chat no one has
ever wiDtered within the Antarctic,
many as have been the expeditions
and ships companies which, compul-
sorily or voluntarily, have wintered
in the Arctic. There has been no
need to do SO for there has been no
possible goal beyond, such as India,
which first led our mariners into the
Arctic; no scientific such as
has characterized the quest for the
northern pole.
And yet another thing differenti-
ates the Arctic from the Antarctic. In
the North there is-unless Dr.. Nansen
is previously mistaken pole sur
rounded by water, In the South
there is a pole surrounded by land
polar basin as opposed to a polar con-
tinent. While the. hpqGifs, which have
been published concerning the Arctic
region, would fill a library, a handful
OF volumes contains all that has ever
been printed of records IN the Antarc-

This may not be new, but it was

"Well, you know he was married
during the winter and went to house
keeping just outside the village. Last
spring he thought he would add a
few hens to his stock; he already had
a dog. He set a couple Of hens, and
in time had two large broods of
chickens. He was very proud of
t. N, but in a week or so the chickens
began to die. He called in a neigh
Dor to look at the chickens and offer
advice. They were certainly a pretty
scaly lot of chickens that the neigh
Dor viewed. They were skinny look
ing and apparently without ambition.
"'What did yer feed them?o asked
the neighbor, after a brief survey.
"'Feed them?' responded the pro-
fessor, as though he didn't hear Alright.
Why, Idon't feed them anything. 1
thought the old hens had milk enough
for them.'"

WAsHINGToS. Dee. 4.-The Kansas
delegation will hold a caucus this
evening to decide upon some plan of
action with respect to the John l..
Waller case. Lemuel Eli Quigg Of
New YORK has the purpose Of intro
ducing some resolution TO identify him
self with Walters tribulations. but he
has given the delegation time to con-
cert some plan of action of it's own.
If they act promptly, he says, he will
not enter upon the business. It is
under the spur of this condition
that the delegation meets. Also
luteiy nothing can be done that can
effect anything. All such legislative
matters go to the foreign affairs com
mittee. which has vet to be announced.
Specifically, it appears that the Kan
sans are only afraid that Quigg will
steal their thunder.

how test sarsaparila? You could, if you were chemists. But then
do you need to test it? The Worlds Fair Committee tested it,-and

this sarsaParila test result in? Every make Of sarsapa1illa shut out
Of the Fair, except Ayers. So it was that Ayers was the only

CAUGHT NEAR WOODLAND.
Claude Armstrong, One of the
Talmage Gang, Found
Mapping.
He Wanted to Fight 1t Out, but the
Constable Had the Drop
on Him.

WOODLAND, Call, Sept. 25.-Claude
Armstrong, a desperate character and one
of the Talnage gang, that has been terror
izing the farmers of Tulare County, was
arrested at the Byrns farm, near Dumb
gan, early this morning. Deputy Sheriff
Haley of Vlsalia had been trailing Arm
strong for weeks, finally locating him at
the farm mentioned. He is wanted for
hog and cattle stealing.
Armstrong was in bed in one of the
cabins on the farm and before he had time
to arm himself the officer had pistol
under his nose. Armstrong realized his
position and sulkily consented to accom-
pany the officer with the remark that if he
had half chance with his captor he would
fight it out. Hanging UP in the cabin was
big caliber revolver, and the anxious
chances he bestowed upon it while dressing
argued that he meant what he said and
was DESTROYS of the opportunity to fight it
out. The gang is now pretty well broken
up. They always went heavily armed and
have had many desperate encounters.

SUICIDE Ar HERNDON.
Safoon-keepe, COndra Ends HIS life

Saioon-Keepey Condra Ends HIS life
With Bullet.
FRESNO, CAL, Sept. ga. H. Condra,
a pioneer of this county, committed sui
eide this afternoon at Herndon, ten miles
north of here. For several years Condra
ran saloon in this ity, but later moved
to Herndon, where he has been running a
hotel. Yesterday afternoon friend
stepped into the hotel to pay bill and
Condra invited him to take drink. Con-
dra placed the two glasses of beer on the
bar and then eXcitedly said:
II am not going to drink this, l am going
to kill myself"
The friend did not pay much attention
to the threat, as he had heard Condra
make similar statements many times be-
fore. He merely remarked to Condra to
drink his beer and not entertain any such
rash idea.
81 will be - if drink that beer" an
swered Condra. He quickly stepped into
an adjoining room, and, before the friend
could interfere, Condra placed the muzzle
OF pistol in his mouth and fired. The
bullet ranged upward and lodged in the
brain, Condra's death being instantaneous.
Condra had been a heavy drinker for
several years, and, for the last year or SO,
the effect became very marked on him.
There is no question but that he killed
himself while in a fit of temporary insanity.
Condra was in fairly good circumstances,
although he lost considerable through mis-
management and the hard times. He
leaves a widow and family.

He DIED FROM NEGLECT,
A Passenger From Reno Ex-
pireS in Sacramento
Without SuCCOr.
Chief Of Police, Acting Under Higher
Authority, Could Not Help
Him.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Sept. 25.-On the
arrival of the 6:40 overland train last even
ing E. Schmidt, who had purchased a
ticket in Reno for this city, was taken
from the train in a dying condition and
assisted into the waiting-room of the depot
where he begged piteously for medical at
tendance.
The police authorities were notified, but
Chief Drew stated that it was absolutely
impossible to receive the man at the Re-
ceiving Hospital, as its accommodations
were occupied by wounded DRINKS, and he
suggested that as the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company had accepted the mans
fare and conveyed him TO Sacramento
it would be no more than justice that he
be given assistance at the railroad hos
pital, and offered the use of the patrol
wagon to convey him to that destination.
This proposition met refusal and Schmidt
was left to his fate.
Some two hours later the matter was re-
ported to Assistant Railroad Superintend-
ent Jones. who procured hack and had
the man conveyed to the County Hospital,
but before his arrival he passed over to the
great majority. Considerable Indignation
has been expressed on the subject and the
inclination seems to be to lay the blame at
the door of the Chief of Police, which can
by no means in justice be done, as strict
orders have been issued by the higher au-
thorities that no more cases from other
counties will be received at the hospital.
Sacramento County possesses one of the
best conducted hospital institutions of the
State and of late years it has become the
custom of surrounding counties to dump
their INDECENT and sick into this institu-
ton and the building is overrun with
patients, over two-thirds of whom, it is
claimed, come from surrounding counties.
This has become such a tax upon the re 81
dents of the county that stringent orders
have been left with the Chief of Police not
to accept any sick persons from without
the county limits, consequently he had no
option in the matter but the fact remains
that human life has probably been sacri-
feed, and common humanity dictates that
some action should be taken whereby the
helpless should be cared for. Knowing the
stringent rules that govern the county
institution it is thought that some law
should be formulated, forcing the railroad
company to care for the sick they convey
into the city.
1t is stated that Mr.. Schmidt had money
in his possession and that he had two sons
and other relatives residing in Davisville,
Yolo County.

Paine's celery compound is the one
known specific for the cure of rheumatism
And it does not need a tedious trial to
prove it.
The effect of this best of remedies is
straightway felt.
Not week goes by before the pains of
rheumatism diminish.
Thousands of men and women have told
of the days and nights of pain and feeble
ness exchanged in a few weeks for activity
and strength.
Paine's celery compound has won the
reputation of being the remedy "that
makes people WELL" It's good works ex-
tend from Oregon to Maine. In every
State in the Union there has been piled up
in the newspapers and medical journals,
tremendous amount of indlsputable evil
dence of the curative power of Paine's
celery compound over all forms of nervous
debility and diseases of the blood. 1t
cures after natures plan, by affording nu-
triton for every part of the body, over
hauling the WORKOUT tissues, and supply
ing new brain and nerve material, sending
pure blood through the veins, invigorating
the whole system, and removing the cause
of disease.
Mr.. oscar Pike, well known resident or
Princeton, Maine, recently sent the fol-
lowing unsolicited letter to the proprietor5
of this wonderful remedy:

hands and arms, then all over. Feet, hands
and legs swelled. could not put my hand

off from me; could not dress or undress
myself, nor get out of my chair without
help. For year and a half l tried all
kinds of medicines and sarsaparilas, with
little or no relief. | was % years old. Some
one told me to try Paines celery COM

Mr. Pike is well known in his locality.
He is the founder and president of the
North Washington Agricultural Society
and Trotting Association. When he goes
for his mail, he says, people ask him what
he has been doing that he is improving so
of late, and he answers as do thousands of
others throughout the country:
