OF Nature, as They Saved Their

New York, Oct When the whaling
steamer Hope arrived at her dock in
Brooklyn Lieutenant Peary and a party
of friends were on hand to meet her. On
board the vessel we're Albert Operti,
artist, who accompanied the expedition;
j. D. Higgins, DR.. NJ. F. Sohn, ships
surgeon; Robert Stein, Of the geologi-
cal survey at Washington and Pearys
servant, six Esquimaux and four dogs,
the crew and the celebated meteorite.
In an interview Lieutenant Peary
said: Il took observations to ascertain
just how much further north it would
be possible to navigate and I also
visited the settlement of EsquimauX
known as Arctic Highlanders, who live
some 200 miles north of Melville Bay.
There are. only 200 in the entire tribe
and I am acquainted with every man,
women and child. I picked out ten
young men and women and instructed
them to prepare for my coming next

that land exists as far north as lati-

A GOOD IMPROVEMENT.

Since many students come to us for IA

grounded in the ordinary English
bran, hes to ms Ike anything like the best

scope of our English course, without ad
ditionaI cost to the student and we can
now offer advantages in this direction eX

have spared no expense to get an in
structor who, for the past year. has made
our Normal English work a growing
success. Those who can pass satisfactory
examinations need not take the English
work; but those who cannot pass the eX-
aminatons should not only have but
want the English, because they cannot
have good success without English. This
feature is not Few one; we have only
added to it. 1t has developed the school;

was arrested upon a bench warrant
issued by Judge Gift yesterday and
detained by an officer for having failed
to respond to a summons to appear be-
fore that dignitary for examination as
to his ability to satisfy a judgment of
S35. Ezeta was sued by his landlord
for that amount, alleged to be due for
house rent, but after judgment had
been rendered against him managed to
elude service.
The plaintiff thereupon applied for
an order compelling Ezeta to appear
for examination as TO his property,
but after it was served upon him he
tried to induce his physician to sign
a certificate to the effect that he was
unable to appear. Instead Of so doing
the physician interceded with the court
in his behalf, but Judge Gift was
obdurate and issued bench warrant
for the offending debtor, who was
brought into court while another case
was in progress and was held in GUS
tody, despite his protest, until the court
was at leisure.

WHAT IT INDICATES.

Nothing so interferes with ones plans OF
ambition like sickness or poor health. Have
you ever thought that your kidneys may be
the cause of your sickness? You can easily
find out by setting aside your urine fol
twenty hours; sediment or settling
indicates an unhealthy condition of the
kidneys. When urine stains linen it is evi-
dence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also con.
vincing proof that the kidneys and bladder
are out of order.
1t is a source of comfort to know that DR.,
Kilmers Swamp Root is the great remedy
for all kidney and bladder complaints 1t re-
lieves pain, stitch or dull aching in the back
difficult or painful urinatiOn, frequent desire
to urinate, scalding or pain in passing it, and
quickly overcomes that unpleasant necessity
of being compelled to get up many times
during the night. The mild and extraor-
dinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
Its action is gentle yet immediate, the re-
lief speedy and the cures permanent. AT
druggists fifty cents and one dollar. You
may have a sample bottle and pamphlet, both
