longed to him by right of discovery
When about the first of June it was
| given out that Peary was making prep
arations 10 go after the big stone. Pro
fessor Dyche at once took active mean:
TO get there first He has had several
| propositions TO go TO the location of the
meteor. but has hitherto been unwill
ing to take the trip. He is now on his
way, via Oregon and the Boring Straits
the longer course, but he has the starr
of his competitor.
Lewis Lindsay Dyche, A. NJ, NJ. s.,
Is graduate of Kansas university at
Lawrence and for many years has oc-
cupied the chair Of professor Of zoology,
anatomy and physiology, besides being
taxidermist and curator of mammals
and birds at that institution. His boy
hood was spent on a farm, and most of
his knowledge about the animal king
dom was acquired before entering
school. He is a young man, and a
quiet one, devoting all of his spare time
to taxidermy. The attractive collection
of stuffed animals in the Kansas build
ing at the worlds fair were exhibited
by Professor Dyche. and demonstrated
his ability as a taxidermist. He in
tends 10 reach the Pole, and may do it
on this trip. His plan is to take pro-
visions for stay Of five years if nee
essary Then going within 800 miles
of the Pole on islands, he would load
his sledges for q trip of sixty days, in
which to make the other portion of the
distance The sum of $4,000 has been
pledged him. and the hackers expect to
realize a return on the big stone. Going
by way of the Alaska coast he expects
to reach the Arctic sea by spring, when
the ice OF the sea is still strong and fit
for travelling with dogs. This is in his
view the only way to reach the Pole,
and he will probably try it before re-
turning-if Peary does not beat him TO
the meteor. Even then he may want
to 90 to show that his long journey
was not failure. On his way he viii
also add to the large collection Of the
university museum by gathering some

Alaska.
Mr. Dyche has lived outdoors enough
to have no fears of the rigors of the
far north. and viii be at home in the
most desolate regions of the Alaskan
peninsula. He lived with the Esqui-
mauX for several months. and is ac-
quainted with many of the leaders Of
the tribes.
As Professor Dyche is Kansas man,
we sincerely hope he may be successful
in winning the race and in bringing
home the wonderful meteor TO the Sun
flower state. His movements will be
watched with great interest by the
whole world. but in greater degree
and larger extent by his own friends
in Kansas.

Almost every month some railroad OF

stockholders. This is called business
When a municipality or firm or indi-
yidual attempts anything of the sort

1t Is estimated that TO the creditor
classes and money trafficers of Great
Britain the world is indebted in a sum,
in the aggregate, of about seventeen
billions five hundred millions of dollars,
which draws annual interest 90 the
amount of seven hundred millions of
dollars.
The amount of the United States in
debtedness TO London is sufficient to
absorb all Inc profits of this country,
on gold basis, for years 10 come. The
question which now cOnfronts the
American people is the possibility of
paying the interest on this debt with
ten cent corn, thirty cent wheat, four
cent cotton, sixty cent silver all con-
verted in two-dOllar gold. As we pay
the interest on our foreign debt to our
British creditors by exports Of COM
mOdities, sold in England, the higher
the price we get the lighter viii be
the burthen of indebtedness. The open
ing of our mints TO silver will enable
our producers to get higher prices, for
the simple reason that there viii be
less demand for gold and the appre-
ciated standard of values will fall to its
former level

SPOILED HER SCHEME.

Stocks.
That woman is pushing herself for
ward IN every branch Of work and be-
coming mans equal, often his superior,
can no longer be denied. There is one
branch, however. in which she has not
tried to excel That is trickery in bust
ness affairs. An ambitious woman,
with much shrewdneSs, has recently
been doing some clever work that Is
worthy Of notice, but hardly of COM
mendation.
One OF Denvers most successful min
ing brokers formed a habit of jOtting
down on his cuff quotations Of stocks
and planning his sales and purchases
for the following day or two, thus not
having to bother with a memorandum,
which might get lost or miSlaid
Suddenly fortune ceased to smile on
him. All his carefully-laid plans were
foiled. He who had DcTn so successful
now lost on every sale. He was bewil-
dered and could not understand the sud
den change. One day a neighbor re
marked to him that his curiosity had
been aroused by the peculiarly stylish
laundreSS who went to the brokers'
rooms weekly for his laundry. The
broker Immediately saw through the
little scheme, and began putting down
quotations and plans for sales the exact
contrary of what he intended and with
in a week the shrewd laundress waf
financially ruined.
Thinking she had earned a hard les
son, he wrote her a note compliment,
