The North Pole Project.

Lieutenant R. E. Peary, U. s. N, the Arctic explorer, delivered a most inter estlng lecture at Metropolitan Hall last night, and those who were present list ened to vivid description of the hard ships experienced by the hardy explorer in penetrating the region of ice which is supposed to lead to the hitherto undiscov- cred North Pole. What made the lecture doubly interesting was series of stereop- ticon views collected by the Lieutenant curing his travels in the land designated py him as the Arctic Sahara, and the pie lures were received with the liveliest ex- pressions of satisfaction and demonstra- tons of applause by the audience which gathered to hear him. He will repeat his lecture tonight

Jail a. Few Hours Later.
James Simpson, of st. Paul, who was
arrested last night by Officer TWohy,
charged with being drunk and disor-
derby, made two unsuccessful attempts
to- take his life. The first attempt was
made in his cell at the central station,
and the second effort was made In a
padded cell in the county Jail.
Officer Twohy noticed Simpson acting
peculiarly and put him under arrest
AT the station the prisoner gave his
name as James Simpson and claimed
to be a plumber, single and thirty years
Of age. He was given a cell in the
mems ward. Capt. Roueau remembered
Simpson as being the man who was
sent to Rochester some time ago, and
instructed Night Jailer John Miner to
keep an eye on the prisoner.
The jailer looked into Simpsons cell
about half hour after the man was
locked up and found him on his bunk
gasping for breath, his neck encrcled
by piece of his leather suspenders
1t seemed that Simpson had made a
sort OF rope out of his suspenderS and
strips torn from his shirt, and had at
tempted to hang himself to the iron
bars above the door. The mans weight
was too much for the improvised rope
and it parted, but not before almost
StranSnng MIN TO death. The Jailer cut
the rope. Simpsons neck had swollen
badly and death was near.
Simpson was then conveyed to the
county Jail in the patrol wagon He
fought like demon and it took the
united efforts of Driver Frank Fraser
Conductor Bumgardner and Jailer
Miner to carry him into the Jail build
ing. There he was put in a straight
Jacket and finally quieted down and
begged the jailer to take off the Jacket
promising to behave himself.
The Jacket was removed and Simpson
laid down and apparently went to
sleep. The jailer stepped down stairs
for few minutes and when he return
ed found the prisoner hanging to a
rope of knotted strips of blankets.
which he had Topped around his neck
and fastened to the top of the door.
His feet almost touched the floor. Thu
jailer cut the would-be suicide down
Thus, twice in one night, James Simp-
sons life was saved by a hairs breath.
He was again strapped up in the
straight jacket and left in that posi-
ton all night.
Simpson is we'll known to the police,
having, it is said, been arrested four
times before for drunkenness. On these

Detectives Wells and Campbell, of
the Central station, arrested DR.. Will
liam p. Kelly, wanted by the chief Of
police at Louisville, who holds war
rant charging the prisoner with en-
beZZlement.
About o'clock last evening Chief of
Police Goss received the following tele-
gram from Chief of Police ]. H. Hanger,
of Louisville:
Watch Northwestern train due at st. Paul
at 9:25 p. m, and arrest DR.. William p.

large amount of money from his person,
which belongs to the St. Louis Republic and
Chronicle He left Louisville May 5 at
1855 p. M; bought ticket for Ashcroft, B.
c., over the Monon route to Chicago, and
via the Chicago & Northwestern to st. Paul,
and over the Canadian Pacific to Ashcroft.
Quietly arrest and hold him in secret if
possible.
officers have left here and will reach st.
Paul on the same train tomorrow night.
Should he not arrive tonight, watch other
incoming trains tonight and next day as
he will certainly arrive at St. Paul, as he
has a through ticket to Ashcroft.
Please wire me Immediately if he is not
on the train mentioned; also wire me the
minute you arrest him. Would advise meet
ing the train in Minneapolis to see if he
would leave the train at that point.
Detectives Wells and Campbell were
assigned to the matter and stationed
themselves at the depot when the
Northwestern train arrived here from
Chicago. One of the first passengers to
alight was a very large, light com
pleXiOned man, dressed in corduroy
suit and carrying a valise and a roll
of blankets. On one finger sparkled
a diamond and ruby ring Detective
Wells approached the stranger, ana
placing his hand on the stout mans
shoulder said -
Excuse me, DR.. Kelly. you're not in
hurry are you?"
AIT the sound of his name, the doc
tor looked surprised. He admitted his
identity, but assumed an injured air
when apprised of the fact that he was
In the hands of the law.
Il know of no reason why there
should be any charges against me-"
he exclaimed.
At the central station, when search
ed, the prisoner was found to have
about 81 900 in bills on his person, also
three gold watches and a revolver.
The Louisville chief of police was
Immediately wired the news of the
arrest.
F. w. Kellogg, who. according to the
chief, charges DR.. Kelly with embez-
Element, is the advertising manager
of the st. Louis Chronicle. The bust
ness manager of the Republic is Pash-
cal Carr. 1t is not known how the
rotund doctor managed to beat the
two st. Louis newspapers if he is
really guilty of having done so.
