The suspicious of the business men
were later aroused n it developed that
their customer was not Marsh. Sus-
picion was directed against William
Buhrer, a resident Of the south side in
this city. and his home was visited and
searched, but the goods We're not found.
Buhrer, his relatives said, went to Wa
terloo Sunday to accept a position in a
foundry at that place. The officers sent
inquiry to that place to learn whether
or not Buhrer was there on Monday.
II so it would be conclusive evidence
that Buhrer and the swindler were not
one Inc the same person.
Marshal Nicholson late this afternoon
ing the Buhrer was in that city all day
Monday and at work in his new position,
Hence he could not have been the per-
son who swindled the two merchants.

THE ANTARCTIC NIGHT.
II In Far More Trying Than III Arc
tic Darkness.

From this day (May 10 we were not
to- see the sun again for two months.
At the beginning we did not dread the
prospect Of this long polar night before
us, but before the sun had been gone
many days one Of us became very Ill.
Dance lacked the constitution to hold
out, and on June 5 he died. 1t is use
less to dwell on sad recollections. He
was loved on board the Belgica, and
this loss, following on the death OF the
sailor Wiencke, who was washed over
board by a wave in Bransfield strait,
made a deep impression on us. In the
obscurity Of the midday twilight we
carried Danco's body to a hole which
had been cut in the ice and committed
ito the deep. A bitter wind was blow
ing as with barred heads, each of us
silent and sad, we left him there-and
the foe drifted on.
In the antarctic regions. thanks doubt
less to the detestable climate, the dis
astrous effects Of the polar night are
far more marked than in the north.
There is a general lowering Of the sys-
tenn, and the heart acts feebly. Sever
al of us developed serious symptoms,
and without daily care on the part of
the doctor others would not have sur
vived the period Of darkness, though 1t
was relatively short. One part OF
Cooks treatment was very effective
and ingenious. Those who were most
affected by deficient circulation were
made to stand in q half naked condition
close to the redhot stove for several
hours daily. In this way the action OF
the solar radiation was in part replaced
by rays OF artificial heat in q manner
admittedly primitive, but none the less
beneficial.
Life on board during the polar night
was of great interest from q psyche
logical point of view. One finds oneself
in conditions of existence altogether abb
normal and crowded against ones fel-
lows in an uncomfortably narrow space.
Some became nervous, excitables and
sleepless. with the Imagination contin-
ually wandering and dreaming. I was
one Of these. Others, more happily con-
| stituted, became chemically tired and
Indifferent. These slept much. But
everybody was content to spend twelve
hours q day or more In bed. One OF the
crew developed maniacal tendencies;
another, in more evil case, was brought
home insane.-Henryk Arctowsky IN

Repentance Came Too Late.

young painter, is under arrest here for
attempting to kill his wife at Washing

wrote her a letter asking forgiveness
and asking her to come to him. She
turned the letter over to the sheriff, and
that led to her husbands arrest. He re-
fused to return without requisition.

swindier Procures Goods Under a
Assumed Name.

"A swindler who operated in this city
Saturday and Monday and obtained
goods from merchants by introducing
himself as a well known farmer of
Laurel, has been sought by the police
for the past two days. The man, who
was a smooth talker, purchased of p.

He claimed to be Frank Marsh, of
Laurel a well known farmer whose
credit rating is good, and h merchants
did not hesitate to extend him credit.

NEW YEARS DAY QUIET.
Little Business Done and the Day
Quietly Observed.

Quietly Observed.
The New Year was ushered In a
quiet way, and while there has been
a general cessation from business, there
was no general celebration of the hoii-
day. A few of the business houses
closed for the entire day, and a ma
iority of them closed during the after
noon. The banks, county and city Of
fees and the manufacturing institu-
tons were closed all day.
The watch services at the M. y.
church were quite largely attended, as
were the special services conducted
at st. Mary's by Father Stuart. Aside
from the usual number of dinner par
ties and family reunions, the day was
not unlike Sunday.

SCATTERING.
A Praying Forager.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l was a
member of Co. b, 37th ILL.,, during part of
the war of the rebellion. In thinking over
my past service l am reminded of some
incidents of interest that l have never
seen in print.
Late in the afternoon of the second day
of the battle of Pea Ridge, Uncle Solo
mon Smith, of Co. Z, fifer, a man over
90 years of age, while the fighting was
still going on, took Il lot of canteens to
get water for the boys. The spring was
nearly a quarter of Il mile in the rear of
the center of our line. As Uncle Solomon
neared the spring from our side two reb-
els with arms appeared on the ether side.
Both parties We're surprised, but Uncle
Sol was too quick for them and pulled
his fife and ordered them to surrender.
After he had disarmed them and started
back to camp they told him they were lost
and bewildered or he would never have
captured them with fife
Uncle Sol. was praying man, and
believe a good Christian. His mode of
foraging was amusing as well as success
full. He would leave camp with his gun
to find tie nearest house. He would go
to the back door. knock and then walk
in, go to the opposite side OF the room so
as to face the family and the door, lay
his gun on the table. kneel down and
pray. On getting up he would say: II
have come for chicken, pig, or what you
have to spare. The boys are hungry" If
he was given permission to take what he
all right. II not. he took what he
