Seeking the North Pole.

Within two months, two much-dis-
cussed Polar expeditions have been
abandoned. Lieutenant Peary's fail
ure was not as conspicuous as Mr..
Baldwin's. The older explorer reach
ed a latitude of 84.17 before his
further progress was checked by per-
ilous obstacles on the Use of the Polar
Sea. But 84.17 means nothing at all
to the mind of the average man who
doesn't know the latitude of his own
village. But, considered from the
standpoint of scientific men, the ex-
petition was not a failure in the
sense Baldwin's luckless adventure
and even Nansen's much-lauded at
tempt were failures. Peary has sue
ceeded at n time OF another in
mapping a large part of Greenland,
and he has increased the general
store of exact information on the
life, climate and sea currents of the
Arctic region. 1t is hardly probable
that he will undertake another expe-
dition.-Collier'G Weekly.

Monument to LincOln's Mother.

No, republics are not u~ngrateful.
Their citizens cherish the memories
of the great men who have served
their countrymen. Not n of the
great men who have served the
American Republic has been forgot
ten. When orators would stir their
audiences they have only only to
mention the names of Washington,
Jefferson, Hamilton, Lincoln, Grant
and Mckinley. Statues have been
erected to perpetuate their meaR1ies'
and they have their place in the halls!
of fame. There was an interesting
ceremony at Lincoln City, Indiana,
last week. An immense number of
people assembled to witness the ded-s
ication of a monument to the mem
DRY of Nancy Hanks Lincoln, the
mother of the man who presided over
the destinies of the country during
it's time of storm and stress. Gov
ernor Durbin, of Indiana, presided
and General John G.. Black was the
orator of the occasion. His address
was eloquent and full of fine feeling.
After paying a tribute to Lincoln's
mother, and referring to the great
work achieved by her son, General
Black concluded by saying: "Cal-
umny belied him and hate spied upon
his every act, but ever louder and
louder sounded the bugles of advanc-
ing victory-and in the midst of this
vast strife, from the stress of public
trials and the pain of personal woes,
we hear the worn and weary Presi-
dent, he whose lips spoke doom to re-
bellion and liberty to the slave, we
hear him declare: All that I am or

Deep Distress in Cuba.

A Washington dispatch to the
Philadelphia Record says:
A distressing situation exists in
Cuba as the result of the failure of
Congress to grant commercial reci-
procity. The reports coming to the
State Department and the War De-
partment are such as to indicate that
conditions will grow worse until dis
orders occur and that annexation or
starvation will be the choice before
long.
1t is estimated that half of the
working people of Cuba are unem-
ployed, and that the number must
increase instead of decrease. Inter
est rates range from 10 to 20 per
cent on first mortgage security.

District Attorney for the district of

Roulhac is a prominent lawyer of

Circuit Judge of that district. Judge
ROulhac was born in Raleigh, N. c.,
in 1846, and comes from a distin-
guished French family, his grand
father having come to America with
Lafayette during the Revolutionary
War. He always has been a Demo

Secretary Root is making active
preparations for the new coinage of
the Philippines authorized by Con

coins are to be furnished, of the val
ue of so, 90 and 10 centavos. The
Philippine government will purchase
the coins either with money or with
melted Spanish coins which will be
made into bullion. The so centavo
piece is intended to pass for half of
the value of the American so cent
piece, although it will contain slight
" more silver. These coins will be
coined in such quantity as the de-
mand seems to warrant and it is the
hope of the authorities hat they viii
soon replace the Spanish and Mex

HOW THE COAL STRIKE WAS
SETTLED.
Who the A~rbitrators Are and How They
Were Selected.

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
The anthracite coal strike, which
has probably been the greatest strug-
gle between capital and labor the
United States has yet witnessed, is
over and the credit for it's peaceful
elimination is due to the active and
intelligent efforts of the President.
Wednesday was an exciting day at
the White House. The President had
sent for President Mitchell that he
might lay before him personally the
proposition of the mine operators.
Mitchell arrived at 10 o'clock and
held a conference with the President
followed by another at 3 p. M, after
which he returned to Pennsylvania.
Two strangers, supposed to be the
partners of J. Pierpont Morgan, then
arrived and had a long conference
with Mr.. Roosevelt, after which the
latter went for a drive with Secre-
tary Root.
Returning at 8 o'clock, another
conference was held and then Mr..
Roosevelt went to Secretary Hays
to dinner. At 10 p. m. the final con-
ference assembled and did not end
until 2 a. m. Thursday, when Secre-
tary Root came out and announced
that the strike was over, that a set
Element satisfactory to both parties
had been arrived at. An hour later,
Secretary Cortelyou gave out the
names of the board of arbitratOrs
which includes Gen. John M. Wilson,

of Engineers, Mr.. E. w. Parker, ex-
pert mining engineer of the Geolog-
ical Survey, Hon. George Gray of

of Scranton, Pa, a man practically
acquainted with the mining and sell,
ing of coal, and Right Rev. John L
S~paulding, Bishop of Peoria, Ill
Hon. Carroll D. Wright is appointed
recorder of the commission.
The intense antagonism displayed
by the operators and their employ
ees throughout the conflict have more
than demonstrated that only the in
tervention of a man whose position
entitled him to the respect accorded
to the President, could have brought
the strike to, an end, at this time

Loo Rurdick the hustlinp rem

Lee Burdick, the hustling rep
resentative of the G. e. G.. Hagel-
stein Co., returned Monday from
a weeks trip through the western
counties, extending as far as San
derson, on the Southern Pacific.
He reports splendid rains through
the territory traversed, and con-
siderable portion of his return trip
was made through the mud, as evil
denced by the condition of his
clothing and auto-bike. Mr..
Burdick is making preparations
to engage in the hardware BUSH
ness at Ozona in connection with
the new store being opened up
there, and will move with his
family to that point early next
week.
The rains have been general
over Texas, and the II. & P. coun-
try west to Ell Paso, has been
deluged. Big Springs has been
covered with water, and it is said
100000 damage to property is
the result, but no lives were lost
The T. & P. Railroad has had
miles of track and a number Of
bridges washed away, and has
been damaged thousands of dol
lars.
Later telephone reports say
that the rains fell at every point
on the system; thus insuring al
early and widespread "season il

alike beneficial to cotton, fec
and other crops, as well as tn
range-in fact, all vegetation.

rain of the season Sunday.
Henry Nimitz reports a heavy
rain on Dove creek Sunday, which

Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. B. Collyns

yesterday. Speaking of the rains
Charley said this country now
beats the territory. He hasn't
been able to cross the river for u
week, on account of its being
swollen from the rains. There
was but one thing to complain,
and that was a large number of
worms in the cattle and it was too
wet to doctor them.
