1nat his brother will return before the
end of the present summer. He admits,
however, that if the sunlmer months pass
without tidings from him, ever he will
be compelled to give up all hope.
The publication of this article has done
much to revive interest in the fate of
this famous explorer, and the King OF
Sweden, who is extremely interested in
all efforts to penetrate the polar mys-
teries, has announced his intentions of
sending out another expedition to search
for the missing men. -
In addition to this he has had a large
sum of money set aside for reward to

a Wolverine who married a Wolf, and for
some time he was very faithful in pro-

trips, and brought home fewer beaver

with a reservoir having a double cover

passes in silence the explorers must
given up as lost.
FOR FIFTY YEARS.

For more than half a century explorers
have been striving their utmost to reach
the Pole across sea, and ice. Each
explorer has a different plan, n each
has failed, but not one devised a more
daring project than that of S. A. An
dree, the Swedish engineer and amateur
who announced that he was
prepared to solve the century old problem
with the rapidity of the wind. He would
sail to the Pole in a balloon.
For a time the scientific world laughed
at. the would-bee explorer. but he was so
persistent in his assertions that this was
the only way in which the wilderness OF
ice could be overcome that the scien-
lists finally decided to listen to him. AS
soon as he had obtained their sober at
tention he unfolded his plan in detail.
For years he had been making a most
thorough study of all known observations
of Arctic air currents. These observa-
lions had been supplemented by two
years of experimenting with a trial bal
loon which was constructed as no air
hip had ever before ben built. All
this was explained with infinite care by
the young engineer, and he was so elo-
quen that he finally succeeded in per-
suading the scientific world that he had
solved the problem of Polar Investigation.
On July II, 1877, therefore. the start was
made from Danes Island, an island in the
Arctic circle north of the Scandinavian
coast, and since that time the friends of
the explorer have been waiting anxiously
to hear from him..
That they have not lost courage during
the many months that nave passed is
one of the remarkable features of the
mystery, but the fact hat they still be-
lieve in Andree's ability to find his way
| back o civilization Is too we'll attested to
be questioned. According to their opin-
! ion the balloon reached the Pole in safe
! ty, but on the return trip, encountered
a zigzag current that forced the party
to land. It this had occurred, they say,
it would not be at all strange if it re-
uuired two or three years for the party
to reach a point where they could COM
| municate with civilization.

Pittsburg, Pa, November 15.-An ex-
piosion of natural gas at 1910 carson

injury of one person, serious burns TO
two others, and the total destruction
of a two story brick dwelling.

REPORTS OF HIS SERIOUS ILLNESS

A CoUNTERPOISE TO WILLIAM
AND A SAFE AND CONSERVATIVE
MONARCH IS WHAT EUROPE
THINKS HIM.

LONDON, November 15.-The serious
apprehension with which the announce
ment OF the fact that the car was suf-
fering with typhoid fever filled Europe,
emphasizes how much the peace of the
world is believed to be depended upon
him. But for the statement contained
in the official bulletin that his majesty's
malady is taking thoroughly favor
able course, the news Of his illness
would have created nothing less than
CONSERVATION. 1t is generally felt at
the present critical state of interna-
tional affairs that even temporary
weakening of the influence of SO favor
able factor in the maintenance of the
worlds peace justifles grave anxiety,
especially as the car is regarded in
Europe as a kind of counterpoise to-
Emperor William. Public anxiety will,
therefore, remain strained until the
none too robust monarch RECEIVERS. In
political circles any other issue Of his
majesty's malady is regarded as night
mare.
The London newspapers comment on
the cars illness with peculiar sympa-
thy The Times remarks that it has
always been believed in England that
the czar "reciprocated the national SEN
timent toward him and cherished real
regard and reverence for our beloved
queen"
The Times also says:
THE car has exhibited consistent
attachment to the cause Of peace. 1t
is hardly necessary to say that any
event which will lead to change in
the occupation of the Russian throne
at the present anxious state in the far
East, might very gravely prejudice the
situation
WASHINGTON, November 15.-Am-
bassador Tower, at st. Petersburg, has
informed the State Department that
the car is i'll from typhoid fever, but
that his condition is not regarded as
critical.

BoTT's BICYCLE IN EVIDENCE.
MRS. SELLS WILL OFFER IN DE-
TENSE THAT HER HUSBAND
WAS NOT BLAMELESS.

Special to the Register.
COLUMBUS, O., November l5.-Dur-
ing the hearing in the Sells divorce
case this morning, it was made clear
that Mrs. Sells line of defense would
be that her husband had led her among
evil associates and that for years ne
had been guilty of the same sort OF
conduct he. charged against her.
1t would cause no surprise to those
who have watched the case closely II
the court denied decree of divorce TO
either party.
1t is pretty generally understood
that the case has resolved itself into a
legal battle for Sells fortune. The
wife insists that she is, entitled to $780,
600 alimony.- Sells only hope of pre-
venting her getting such sum Is to
pile up the endence until she has no
character left as wife and mother.
Harry Lyons, the Pennsylvania rail
way official, who admitted writing let
tiers and receiving disgustingly endear-
ing letters, said he was first introduced
to Mrs. Sells by her husband. Sells had
persuaded him to call at his home fire.
quently to play poker with Sells and
Mrs. Sells.
Detective John Mahoney testified that
he frequently followed VIM. Bott to the
Sells mansion on Dennison avenue and
waited until and o'clock in the
morning for him to leave. Bott never
called when Sells was in town, Ma
honey said, and always waited till 9
or 10 O'Clock when Mrs. Sells daughter,
Florence, aged Is, would be in bed.
1t was in Manoney's testimony that
Mrs. Sells evinced the first real inter-
est She leaned forward to catch every
word. her eyes wide When Detective
Mahoney testified that the electric
light on the street Wen. out before a
man supposed to be VIM. Bott would
emerge from the Sells residence in the
morning. Mrs. Sells and Bot, Who sat
facing eacn otner, exchanged illy-con-
cealed smiles. Bolts bicycle, which
was captured on one of these occasions,
was offered in evidence. Mrs. Sells and
Bott again exchanged smiles.
On cross-eXa mination it was brought
out that Mahoney was the man TO first
inform Sells of the alleged infidelity
Of his wife. This was October %, 1899.
Mahoney had six assistants in detec-
tive work on the case. Mahoney also
said that evidence of Mrs. Sells alleged
infidelity was given to Sells before he
induced Mrs. Sells to deed away prac-
tically all of Sells fortune, which stood
in her name.
Sells represented that a damage suit
was about to be brought in the West
and she had better deed the property
to trustee to protect their interests.
This was done November "a, 1899. Suit
is now pending by Mrs. Sells to recover
title to this property on the ground that
her signature to the deed was procured
by fraud. At noon and before the
cross-examination of Mahoney had been
completed, court adjourned until nine
o'clock tomorrow morning.
