DYCHE WAS THERE.
Tells About His Visit to the
KIOndike Years Ago.

Kansas City,Jan. H.-Prof. L. L. Dyche,
the Kansas state university naturalist,
who is known alike for his trips of Arc
tic exploration and his great growth of
hair, was in Kansas City last evening.
Il can give them all the KlOndike in
formation they want" said Prof. Dyche

it was before the KIondikes day. There

The Kansas man is the originator of
the theory which Lieutenant Peary has
adopted for his next expedition to the
north pole. 1t is to reach the northern
coast of Greenland and there esta blish
permanent camp from which expeditions
across the ice can be made to the north.
Peary now claims that as his own. but
as long as two and a half years ago Prof
Dyche announced it.
1T is my belief explained Prof. Dyche,
"'that the north coast of Greenland reaches
to within 200 800 miles of the pole, and
there may be islands along the coast
which extend still nearer With a perma
nent camp there, the chances of reach
ing the pole by a dash across the ice are
excellent If one did not make it the
first time. he could return and wait for
the next summer, and he would have the
benefit of his experience. This possesses
the great advantage over Nansen's expe-
on land to which to return. When Nam
sen took to the ice he knew he could not
return to his ship, for it was floating all
the while and he had no means of know
ing where it would be. He simply deter
mined to strike out for the north and re-
turn as best he could to Franz josef

1T must have taken nerve to do that

SEATON'S PLATFORM.
Reforms That the AtchisOn Can
didate Wants to See
Enacted.

Captain John Seaton, of Atchison, a
Republican candidate for governor, says
he will leave the matter of the plat
form entirely with the Republican
i've Offices which are a needless expense
The party and not the candidate
should make the platform" said Mr..
SeatOn. while there are many things
that might be incorporated in that doc
ument, am opposed to long declara-
lions. So far as I am personally con-
cerned, there are three things which
occur to me at this time in which I
am deeply interested. The first is the
abolition of the metropolitan police
system. The second is change in the
present abOminable usury laws-a
measure which in my opinion has been
a great misfortune to the farmers of
Kansas and has worked untold hard
ships and brought deep misery upon
this class of people. Then there are a
number of useless boards and appoint
i've offices which are a. needless expense
to this state. In my opinion, the places
which are not absolutely necessary to
the transaction of the business of the
state government, should be abolished.
Such action would materially aid the
governor in giving to the people of the
state a more economical administra-
ton.
LAS to the metropolitan police law,
it is certainly a disgrace to the state.
1t deprives the people of the city of the
opportunity of indulging in self-gOvern-
ment. 1t brings a municipality and the
state into direct conflict. It embar-
RAISES the state administration and
causes biennially the defeat of the man
who attempts, as chief executive, to
deal with the problem. 1t is a source of
corruption and a, system of blackma1.
1t is dangerous and unlawful, in the
opinion of many men, who have made
study of the constitution. My record
on this question is plain have al
ways opposed it and propose to con-
tinue to advocate the abolition of this
nefarious method of dealing with local
affairs.
aThe responsibility should be given
to the mayor and council and removed
from the state administration.'

is a sad fact, but a fact none the less,
that while the grip is bad enough and
depressing enough when in it's acute
form, it is often worse when it settles in
some part of the body and continues to
destroy the health and ruin the life.
Doctor Lombard in speaking on this
subject recently said:
1T is a well-knOwn fact, admitted by
all doctors that grip does settle in the
body and bring distressing effects along
after 1t IS apparently cured But the
doctors do not always say just where it
usually settles. It should be clearly I'M
derStOOd, then, that the spots which
grip commonly selects are the kidneys
and urinary organs. 1t is quite natur-
al that it should do so for these are the
very organs that are overWOrked in
trying to drive the grip out of the sys-
TEN, and naturally, being overWOrked,
they are weakened and become an easy
prey for the disease -
when these delicate but most fmpor-
tant organs are attacked in their weak
ened condition, they cannot throw the
grip from the system without help

HIGHER WAGES MEAN RUIN
Colorado Coal Mine Operators Ad-
dress the Strikers.

Denver, Col. Jan. 21-The northern
Colorado coal operators held a meeting
today in the offices of the Northern
Coal company and adopted a volumi-
nous set of resolutions addressed to the
striking miners. The resolution are to
the effect that the operators cannot ac-
cede to the demands of the miners as
their product is in competition with
southern coal and it is impossible to
secure a higher price for it than they
are now receiving.
The operators are determined not to
give in and in case the strike continues
for any length of time they may import
men from outside states. They say
that to advance the present scale of
wages would mean utter ruin for them
all.
