adds that wherever they penetrated they
found the ice broken. Large patches of
water were also found, $500 meters deep.
BeloN the depth of 100 meters the water
was appreciably warmer probably owing
TO the Gulf stream. Rocky scars, of
which the explorers had no previous
knowledge, prevented entrance into the
OleneK River for days. In consequence
Of the scarcity of dogs with the expedi-
ton, DR.. Eansen was compelled to turn

been provided with a sufficient number of
dogs end canoes the pole would have been
reached. The land voyage was most
arduOus, but extremely available scien-
tific results were obtained. In 1895 DR..

among sportsmen that the date is August

statute places the date at August Is. Sec
tioh 2366 OF the compiled laws places the
ua'e at August 10, and the session of 1890
amended that section of the com piled
laws, and the amending act contains the
usual repeal clause at the finish. The
session OF 1893 again amended section
-oot OF the compiled laws, setting the date
back TO September /. This act the Justice
holds to be of no force because the first
act repealed that portion of section 1856,

the case were ever taken before a our

Is out lutte, II any, question that the date

at Franz Joseph Land the following
spring.
There was the usual amount of hard
ship and peril in the journey which led
to this recent inconclusive result. On
several occasions there were narrow es-
capes from death while navigating among
the huge blocks of ice. There was much
wandering through snow and in intense
cold on sledges drawn by dogs. One win
ter was spent in IA hut built of stones,
earth and moss, and having II roof of wal
rus hide, tied down with ropes and COW
cred with snow; and for a period of ten
months bear meat and blubber were the
only food. During weeks the mercury
VAS frozen, the lowest temperature being
e. degrees below zero: and ut one time the

frozen in ice of more thar thirty feet of
measured thickness. These incidents

ORGANIZED A COMPANY
Syndicate reported to Have Bought
the Park Hotel Property.

The records Of Hughes County show that
parties have been for some time securing
the lots on a tract of land adjoining the
Park Hotel, a large unoccupied hotel
building adjoining Riverside Park near
Pierre. 1t is now being generally rumored
that the vacant lots as we'll as the hotel
property has been purchased by a syndi-
cate with the purpose of sinking an ar
tesian we'll and the erection of a large
bath house 10 be III in connection with
the hotel. 1t is likely that the project will
be at once pushed since the desired prop
erty has been secured and the place
opened to the public by the opening OF
the next session of the Legislature.

show in a general way what difficulties
were encountered, and what bravery n
fortitIde were required to overcome them.
1t does not appear that there was any
weakening on the part of any of the adj
yenturers because of these severe trials,
Tut it remains, nevertheless, for DR.. Nam
sen to explain why he left the Fran and
all of his companions but one and mado
his way back to civilization.
We are assured that DR.. Nansen brings
back with him several maps and many
photographs to increase our knowledge
of the region that he visited. He was gone
three years, and there is no reason to be-
.ieve, that is to say, that he accomplished
anything of substantial Importance. The
fact that he got nearer to the pole than
any previous explorer counts only in a
comparative way, and not as a decisive
triumph. 1t can be said, perhaps, that
he has added something to the possibility
Of ultimate success in the case, and this
will encourage other adventurous spirits
to make other attempts of that sort, and
in the course of time the pole may be-
reached.

PROSPECTS OF FRUIT CROP.
Apples Indicate a Better Yield and
Peaches a One.

The Agricultural Departments August
report of fruit conditions is as follows:
Apples-The general condition advanced
during July from 64.G to 65.7, Il crafty
ing indication of sustained crop prospects.
ms general average covers all kinds of
apples in all sections of the country. Not
w~ithstanding a general condition of GAG
July l, which was low as far as the crop
OF the country was concerned. it was
specifically stated that prospects for ex-
cellent crops" continued in States of the
northern belt from Maine to Minnesota
and in Iowa, with fair but comparatively
smaller crops in Ohio, Illinois and In
diana. In the present report a very gen
eral betterment is shown in that region.
The condition is very uneven in Ohio.
Illinois IL Indiana, many counties re-
porting entire failure. while others report
abundant crops. which accounts for the
somewhat lower conditions of those
States. In the past Il final condition of -
per cent. or over has been followed by
an abundant supply of apples, so that the
excellence of the crops of the present sea-
son, III this particular and extensive re-
gion, is plainly evident. In other parts of
The country. with Il few exceptions, the
condition IS low.
Peaches-Prescnt returns show Il gen
orally reduced condition. OF the com
mercial States the best prospects still
are found in Delaware. Michigan. Ohio
md Maryland, while in New Jersey. Nir-
ginia. Georgia and California percentages
indicate less than half ii crop. In Della
ware the early crop was nearly ruined by
c%urculio and ''yellows" and fruit on the
trees is badly stung there and in Mary
land, though Il fine product is expected
from the mountain orchards of the latter
State In Michigan and Ohio excellent
crops are indicated.
Grapes-The condition of grapes is gen
orally high. Some complaints are made
of rot, due to excessively moist season,
but seemingly not extensive enough to
much affect the general condition.

Monday to 90 to Canton, and the last seen
of him was about 3 o'clock Monday after

north from Canton with IA team consisting

sorrel mare. Some passers by stopped at
his farm on Tuesday and found the stock
nearly famiShed. Search for him was
then instituted, but nothing has been
heard of his whereabouts since Monday
afternoon as stated. Any person who
may know anything of his present loca-

DEFINE THEIR CREED.


The National Executive Committee of

Democratic party goes before the people.
Another declaration of principles will be
adopted, of course, at the national gath

of the case to say that in the main it can

the accounts of previous explorations of
The same kind, in the sense that the world
always likes to read about personal adj
ventures in remote and mysterious re-
giOns. There is q certain charm in records
of courage and endurance even when the
results are not of II material import
ance; and the results of these successive
Arctic journeys can hardly be said to have
justified the expense and privation, the
suffering and fatality that they have in

Want the State TO Foot the Bills.

Members of the state militia have for
tie past two years paid their WI eX-
lenses in their annual encampments, and
will make a strong effort to again secure
a state appropriation from the Legisla-
lure. Up to the session of 1898 they were
granted such an appropriation, but the
session Of that year refused them the
favor. On account of the financial affairs
of the state through the Taylor deialcation
they did not ask an appropriation from
the last session, but they are now
demanding pledges from candidates for
the Legislature that they support an APP
preparation for the %encampment of the
militia, when presented 20 the session this
coming winter. The usual appropriation
IS about 81, 900 for the encampment and
the boys think they are entitled to that
much consideration at least and are going
after it,.
