Arctic Regions Confirmed.
London. Feb. IA telegram from
the British consul at Arehangel, far to
the north in Russia, confirms the re-
port that Nansen, the Arctic explorer.
is safe and returning from the NORTH
pole. The news of DIR. Nansen's success
has aroused intense interest in this
city. The report received from Irkuts1,
Siberia, was generally discredited ut
first, although more faith was placed
in ii than in the previous l'umors which
reached London during the last IL
months. The dispatch from the British
consul at Archangel, however, is re-
garded as conclusively showing that
the Norwegian explorer is homeward
bound, even if he has not discovered the
pole. Dispatches received here from
different parts of the continent indicate
that the same interest in the news FROM
the north is manifested throughout
Europe, and tits also generally CREDITED
at the European capital.

ADMIT THE TERRITORIES.

The Guthrie, o. T., Daily Lea
der puts in strong plea for state
hood as follows:
Intelligent action in congress
is urging the admission of Okla
homa, Arizona and New Mexico
into the union. Selfshness and a
lack of patriotism are trying to
keen them out. The democratic
and republican parties have de-
clared n ihei. platforms in favor
of the admission of the territories
when they are capable of self
government. Territorial govern
ment is not selcgovernment. No
territory can develop so rapidly as
under state government. State
government is self government
the union alone being paramount.
When a territory becomes a state
population and capital seeks it, be-
cause they can control its home in
stitutiOns and lOcalize their govern
ment, leading to prodigious
development in its material re-
sources. This never has been done
in a territorial condition. and it
never will be. No patriotic man
can give any reasonable excuse for
the exclusion of these three ter
ritories from the rights of state
hood, and it is the duty of con
gress to admit them. The goldbug
lepers, who would destroy this
government if they dared, oppose
their admission because the new
states might favor silver in the
house and senate, and for this
reason only they deny to other
American citizens the rights OF
self government. They publish
falsehOods about these proposed
new states. charging sparse
population, low morality ant
lack of education. There are, as {
matter of fact, twenty states now
in the union which were admitted
when they had less population
than any one of those which now
knock for admission.

In March the few warm days we have
Proclaim the coming spring,
And tell us we must bid farewell
To grim old Winters King.

The farmers wife comes out and takes
The thing she advertises.

When 1t has been surprised;
Then quickly you will get the bite

The bum ble-bee before he stings
Will warn you by his humming;

To advertise his coming.

Desire the worlds attention.

Mr.. GRIFFIN'S CHRISTMAS.
Broken Furniture and Baked Turkey
Figure in Family
Quarrel.

There were hilarious times last evening
when the family of Pat Griffin of 20 Birch
avenue gathered around the table. There
was Pat himself, his wife, her mother, and
a number of sisters and sisters-in-law and
brothers and brothers-in-law. The head
of the house was not in the best of humor,
and he made this fact apparent by kicking
over the table before the first course was
served.
His wife demonstrated, whereupon Grit
fin seized the baked fowl by the legs and
started to hurl it at his wife's head; but
the turkey was well done and it parted
company with the legs.
The bird proper struck the mothe--in-
law in the face and carromed off, continu-
ing its flight through the street window
and fell upon the sidewalk at the feet of
Officer Brownie.
The officer was naturally surprised to
find it raining turkey, gravey and stutfing
and he waited for repetition of the phe-
nomena. Then his attention was at
tracted to the storm overhead, and it was
a storm. The rattle of broken crockery
mingled with an assortment of female
shrieks and male curses. 1t seems that
the mother-in-law resented the affront
and she whacked Griffin on the head with
the leg of the broken table.
In the melee the stove was overturned
The police Office quieted things down by
arresting Griffin for being drunk. Griffin
had to have five stitches taken in his scalp
at the hospital to close up the evidence of
his mother-in-law's rebuke.
