Franklin, Pa, April 2S.-Two dogs
saved a woman's life by their persist
ence in hanging around and barking
at a rock upon which she lay ex.
hausted. Mrs. Samuel Robinson dis
appeared last Wednesday morning and
since that time searching parties have
secured the woods for her. When
Mike McGinity took his dogs out Sat
urday morning they circled around a
rock near an old reservoir and re-
fused to leave. McGinity finally found
the woman and carried her to a neigh.
bor's house. Though out two days aud
a night, it is thought she will recover.
Temporary loss Of reason brought on
by sickness is assigned as the cause
of the woman's disappearance.

mother is dark skinned: so is the lit
tie girl, Alma, and Mrs Edwards says
that the child is white like its father

The allegation was that John Ed

tween his wife and Greascn, and that
he had threatened TO kill her if the
unborn child proved to be black. Ed
wards was killed one night while
asleep on his porch and his body
was thrown into a cistern. The wife
and her alleged paramour, Greason,
were convicted Of the crime. The col.
ored man helped her buy shoes and
clothes for her little ones in winter
when she had no money. Both were
sentenced to be hanged at such time
as Governor Stone may appoint

witness against her mother and Grea.

FOR DASH TO THE POLE
Plans For Auxiliary Baldwin.
Seigler Expedition.

Believed the America Is Fast In the

Relieving the America Mir. Chang
viii Establish a Patrol Covering
BaIdwin's Route.
New York, April 29.-Plans for the
auxiliary Baldwin-Seigler expedition
10 polar regions have been completed.
The steamer Frithjof, which with the
America conveyed the Baldwin party
to Franz Josef Land. has been chart
cred for the work and will depart
from Tromsoe on July /. The aux.
iliary expedition will be directed by
W. c. Champ, secretary to William
Siegler, who will sail from Europe
on the steamer Cymric On May 2S.
The remainder of the party will leave
on the steamer Pretoria on June Z.
Mr. Champ and all Of his assistants
have had experience in Arctic regions.
The Frithjof is now in drydock. She
will again be commanded by Captain
Kjeldsen, whose work in the Arctic
has been conspicuous.
The Frithjof will go from Tromsoe
to Camp Siegler on Alger island.
which is in SO:2i north, and there re.
ceive the last instructions left by
Baldwin. 1t is believed here that
Baldwin has worked to the northward
Of Alger island and that the America
is fast in the ice When the America
is found an effort will be made to re-
fill her bunkers with coal and work
her out of the ice pack. 1t is thought
that Baldwin used the America for
winter headquarters and worked north
with sledges, establishing caches pre-
paratory to the dash to the pole. Bald
wins associates here are of the opin.
on that Baldwin began his northern
movement for the pole about the mid
die of February and that he will
reach the highest point about the mid
die Of June, and the Frithjof expedi-
tion is timed to meet him.
Balwin has always believed that he
Nbulu Hlu Il uIlll lUdL would take MN
cut b. way Of Greenland, but his asso-
ciates are of the opinion that his re-
turn will be across the ice toward
Franz Josef Land
Mr. Champs plan after releasing the |
America will be to establish a patrol |
with the hope of picking up the Bald. |
win party. It is planned to cover a
stretch of $50 miles east and west
across the route most likely to be |
taken by Baldwin. 1t is thought that |
the patrol can be kept up without
danger of the America and Frithiof |
being imprisoned until Sept. 1. If
Baldwin is not found by that time or
is not reported from other sources a
party of six men will he left in a
winter camp to be established on the
west coast Of Franz Josef Land for
the purpose of patrolling the west
coast Of Franz Josef Land in order to
aid Mr. Baldwin and his companions
In the event Of their returning by the
Franz Josef route.

item, as to the new ships, was left

termined upon was as follows Two

THAT the secretary of the navy may
in his discretion and so far as in his
judgment is practical, direct that any

Butter and Eggs Dropped.
Despite, and indeed partly because
Of, marked Irregularities in weather
conditions and extreme temperatures,
accompanied by deterioration in the
winter wheat crop Of the Southwest.
general business and speculation have
been of very full volume for this sea-
son of the year. Retail demand was
relieved from the incubus of backward
weather by the hot wave which swept
over a large part Of the country this
week. This has resulted in a fair re-
order business for the wholesalers and
jobbers in the East, but the talk of
crop damage put check upon demand
in the Central West and Southwest.
The cereals and to a lesser degree
hog products generally responded
promptly to the Southwestern wheat
damage reports, which, coupled with
heavy decreases in the visible supplies.
particularly in Manitoba and the
Northwest, resulted in the highest
prices of the crop season being reached
Tor cash wheat Corn, too, almost
broke the seasons record.
Crop reports to Bradstreet's indicate
that beyond doubt the Kansas wheat
crop has been hurt by the drought and
hot winds. Nothing in excess of three
quarters of a crop is looked for even
by the most sanguine, while 60 per
cent OF last years yield is confidently |
predicted.
Meats are all higher, marketable ami.
mails are scarce and receipts are small. |
Hog products have advanced in SYM |
pathy with cereals, but butter and |
eggs, alleged to have been cornered |
some time ago, have broken badly, the
former to the extent of seven cents
per pound.
Wheat, including flour, exports for
he week, aggregate 3,750,5S9 bushels,
against 4,11S,10S bushels last week
and 4,2S2,129 bushels in this week last
year
