NORTH POLE PLANS
AS soon as Jackson, the explorer, COM
pletes the work connected with his
Franz Joseph Land expedition he will
start for the north pole. He informed a
representative of the Associated Press
that his original plans were identical
with those of Lieut.. Peary, but that he
intended to take the most easterly of
the inland instead of the west. But since
he heard the Peary lectures, Jackson
has changed his plans, considering that
the American has prior claims. Jack
son now proposes to proceed via Davis
straits and Bafiins bay, up the west
coast, to Elsmere Land and Grinnclland,
and thence across to the farthest point
reached by Aldrich in 1876, whence he
will push north, making in the direction
of any land visible from the coast. The
date of his departure is unsettled. Jack
son will have only one companion out
side of his crew. Talking over his plans,
he said: Il hope to push my ship consid-
erably beyond Cobufg island, at the en-
trance to Jones' sound, and at the
farthest north, with sledges, dogs and
ponies, and with one companion. l ex-
pect to be absent two years."

Bears All the Blame For Recent
Troubles
DENVER, Dec 25.-The report of Spe-
cial Agent Elisha B. Reynolds on the
recent conflict between Indians and
game wardens in Routt county, Col,
is a complete vindication of Warden Will
cox and his men. Mr.. Reynolds, after
taking the testimony of the six Indians
and the twelve wardens who were in the
affair, says in his report:
"I am fully convinced, after having
examined the case fully, after taking
the testimony of both parties. after
meeting the men face to face and read
ing their characters and noting their de-
meanor while questioned, that the In
dams fired the first shot,
He further states that no blame what
ever can by any possibility be attached
to the wardens.
He found that after the first shot the
shooting became general and when the
smoke cleared away it was found that
several Indians had been killed.
The wardens declared there were six
Indians shot down while the Indians say
there were but two Indians killed.
Mr.. Reynolds agrees with the Indians
on this point.

GIRLS CAN'T THROW
That Fact Pretty Nearly Ruined an
Arizona Town

JEROME, Ariz., Dec. 25.-Fire swept
a business block last night, starting in
the lodging house of Japanese Charley,
a sporting resort. 1t was impossible to
fight the fire, and the best that could be
done was to protect adjoining property.
A woman attempted to throw a defective
lamp out Of window, missed, and an
explosion followed.
This is the fourth fire in Jerome, and
the entire loss is $4,000, as follows:
Jennie Hanter's lodging house, loss
$4,000, insurance, 5000; Charley Shaw
Japanese Charley, lodging house and
restaurant, $4,000, insurance S25OO; w. M.
J. Roberts, saloon, lodging house and
residence, loss $4,000, insurance, $4,000;
Alexander Condiner, John Valdrini,
Hooker & McFarlands, all saloons, no
insurance; Joseph Tamborino, lodging
house and saloon, loss, $4,000, insurance,
$4,000, George Emmett, barber shop; Ell
der Bottling works, st. Elmo restau-
rant, loss $4,000; no insurance. A three
story brick building on the corner is all
that saved the entire town from destruc-
tion. The men of the United Verde
Copper company gave great help, and
the company's hose and water were in
strumental in protecting property.

and State bear to one another. Tha
object of education ought to be to make
men good as we'll as wise, he argued.
But just how to teach men the Bible
in the public schools was as much
problem now as ever before And yet
there is nothing but the Bibles teaching
that can make man good, and the true
aim of life ought to be useful and good
at the same Hme.
Mr. Middleton then turned his atten-
ton to the question as to how far the
Bible should be taught in the public
schools, and said he wished to God
every school in the country, public and
private, were under the direct influence
and management of some religious de-
nomination. He wanted the Bible read
and taught in every school Every les
son should be pointed with q moral-the
heroes Of history should be stood up by
the Great Hero of the Bible, that the
inquiring mind might see wherein they
failed and where they came up to the
full stature of Christ. Jesus. While
teaching their minds, train their hearts.
Mr.. Cree's speech treated of religious
influence in colleges. College life, he
said was life within itself Like Il
composite picture it is composed Of meu
Of every class, stage and condition, sep
arate and distinct, and yet very much
alike-bound together as by bonds Of
steel.
The first temptation he said, that Sc
riously besets the young christian stu
dent is to neglect his religious duties for
his secular studies. Closely allied with
this is the temptation to dissipation in
duced by a desire for stimulation after
the nerve-exhausting labors Of student
work Another pitfall of student life,
Mr. Cree continued, is that of scepticism
1t was once common idea that Il learn
ed scientist could not be other than n
confirmed atheist. That is no longer
true, and our greatest scientists are
christian men,
rs there no life lineY he asked, that
can be thrown out to these boys and
girls seeking the secrets of nature
There is and it is nothing other than the
spirit of God working through his Holy
Word"
A christian college, he described as one
that teaches the Bible-a school that
gives to its men the principles Of chris
tanity of Christ. The school that does
not teach the Bible withholds from its
students the richest beauties to be found
in all the range Of literature, the record
of the ages and the only record of the
.grandest acts of mankind. 1t with
holds from its students that book which
| alone can give counsel for eternity and
make them wise unto death.

the only guilty party.
Mr.. Butler antagonized the bill because

believed everything should have one
head. This body as well as Mr.. Swn-
sOn, he SAID must share the responsible
! ty for extravaganza. 1t was well under

elected by the caucus. and it was very
natural that Mr.. Swinson should put
| them on at once, and then to add more
later as needed. Sometimes eighteen or
| twenty are needed. Nothing was heard
of even a charge that Mr.. Swinson was
| doing wrong until he refused to put the
/ two negroes on.
Capt. Parker, who presented a wise
/ and calm and truthful statement of the
whole thing, offered a substitute for the
| bill, and made strong argument in
| favor Of adopting the proper safeguards
| embodied in his BILL He said there ought
| to be only one head. He was at his
| best in a sensible and strong speech, but
| the revolutionary temper of the major
| ity was such that they would listen to
| nothing except to disgrace and expel
| Swinson as punishment for their own
wrongs as well as his mistakes.
| His head was cut off, but only by such
| tactics as Gar Reed would employ. The
| Lieutenant Governor, who was an hur-
ry to get his buddy" on the payroll in
| place of Swinson, did not attempt to
| conceal his deep interest in the passa ge
of the bill Upon every doubtful point,
| he ruled with the reyolutionists on the
| floor who in their madness to taste Swim
| sons blood rushed along with wild
ness that was suggestive of the rulings
of the Czar

the slogan that led them ON to decapita-

floor of the Senate, to enjoy the blood

gloated over his success in helping to
turn poor man out of office whose
chief crime was that he obeyed the eau
cuses of the two parties that elected him
in their extravaganza, but would not
heed the mandate of the Republican eau

For long time my son was troubled
with some bronchial trouble, which,
every time he took cold, settled in his
throat and produced something like
tonsilitis. The tonsils would enlarge
and swell so that he had great trouble
to swallow anything, and could take no
solid food. Last spring he took half
dozen bottles of Mrs Joe Persons Rem
