To the Pole H Wire.

The conditions surrounding arctic
travel are such that the principal diff
4icuIty is found in maintaining COM
muncation with base of supplies. It
is believed that wireless biography
has now reached a point where, at
least, it promises such development
that future exploring parties will be
able to carry along apparatus and
base camps. If this proves to be the
case, much of the terror of the arctic
will be removed, and exploration Will
be made both easier and safer, with
the possibility that this added instru-
mentality will enable the discovery of
the pole at no far distant date.-EIec-

ton that plot was brewing among

and that the Basey garrison was to
be attacked from a cockpit in the
rear of the barracks. Orders were
Immediately given to demolish the

Against RebeIIIous Natives of Samar,
Where Occurred the Latest Disaster.

Washington, Oct. Late advices
from the Philippines indicate that the
military authorities intend to take
prompt and vigorous measures for the
suppression of the instruction in the
island of Samar, and that attention
will be directed first to the summary
punishment of the treacherous ma
tives who took part in the massacre
of company c, of the Ninth infantry,
at Balangiga. There is, therefore,
every prospect that the island of
Samar will be the theater of active
hostilities for some time to come, as
it is the purpose of Gen. Chaffee to
teach the rebellious inhabitants a
lesson and force them to respect the
power and sovereignty of the United
States.

the columns of w. j. Bryan's Common
err as follows: Master Allan Lee
Swisher, IL year old boy of Gypsum,
Kas., is the editor and publisher of a
little paper called the Chronicle. The
work, both lettering and illustrating,
is done with a pen. Whether or not
young Swisher will become permanent
ly identified with the newspaper fra

employment for his spare time" The
Gypsum Chronicle has been running
twenty-eight weeks. 1t is four-page
paper customarily, with a larger num-
ber of pages occasionally. 1t is print
ed on the ordinary white paper used by
dailies. While the first copy is made
with a pen, the other impressions are
made with stamp or by some other
simple process. The first page of a
recent number was given up to pen
picture of Alphonso XIII, king of
Spain. Master SWisher attends the vii
lage school, and spends his evenings
in the publication of his paper. Since
coming to public notice he has had so
many demands for the Chronicle that
he has had to call in a number of
schoolmates to aid him in "the press
