NJ. K. Fairbanks Life of Usefulness
Brought to an End.
n. K. FairbaRk, whose life was in
terwoven with Chicago's commercial
greatness, died at that city last week
after an illness of two weeks.
He was stricken with paralysis a
year ago. Though the visible effects
of this seizure passed away, he never
recovered the robust health which
characterized him all his life. He
was 73 years old.
Mr.. Fairbank was born in 1929 at
Sodus, N. Y, of New England stock.
After course at the country schools
he was apprenticed to a bricklayer.
He later became a bookkeeper in a
flour mill at Rochester, and in six
months owned a half interest in the
business. He came to Chicago in 1855
as western agent of David Dows &
Co., produce commission merchants of
New York. He became interested in
the oil refining firm of Smeedley,
Peck & Co., which ultimately became
known as N. X. Fairbank & Co. He
introduced the manufacture of soap in
connection with the business and
eventually closed out his interest in
the firm to the cotton seed oil trust

briggs ENTERS PLEA
indictments AIlege Unpleasant Things
Against MIR. Beavers.

NEW YORK, July 30.-Ex- Con-
gresham briggs appeared today be-
fore Judge Thomas. in the United
pleaded not guilty to two indictments
which were recently found against
him, with leave to withdraw his plea
and to demur. One Indictment was
found by the federal grand jury in
June, and the other by the federal
grand jury in July. Mr.. briggs had
previously pleaded to five indictments
which the June grand jury found
against him. and bail in those cases
was fixed at $4,000. which he furnished.
That bail was continued today
The last Indictment found against
briggs is the seventh and brings in the
name of George w. Beavers, now un-
der Indictment for alleged bribe- tax
ing and wanted by the federal authori-
ties. The indictment says that the
Brandt-Dent company, manufacturers
and sellers of automatic cashiers, sold
such machines for $125 each, which
was all the machines were reasonably
worth. There are other allegations
that George F. Miller. at that time an
agent of the corporation, "contriving
and intending to cheat and defraud the
United States by unlawfully. inducing
and procuring George w. Beavers, an
officer of the postoff1ce department. to
secure from the government a con-
tract for the sale of cash machines,
did thus effect the sale of a large num-
Der OF said machines at cost of $3.50
each"

FIVE THOUSAND IS
OFFERED FOR A FLEA
But 1t Must Be One Taken From an
Arctic Fox.

LONDON, July 3O.-There is one
form of Arctic exploration little known
to the general public. The history Of
famous polar expeditions the trials Of
the gallant explorers, and the large
sums expended in fitting out and main
tanning vessels is news familiar to all,
but the shunt for the polar flea is not
so well known as it deserves to be.
More than year ago the Hon.
Charles Rothschild commissioned the
Arctic sailing whaler Forget mot
to hunt for the polar flea. The hunt
was apparently futile, for Mr.. Roths-
child now offers a reward, according to
the Daily Express, of 6 1000 for the
Arctic fox flea, to add to the collection
of those insects in the famous zoolog-
ieal museum in Tring park, where al
ready there are thousands of feas
which have been obtained from birds
and beasts in all parts of the world. 1t
seems that the flea of the Arctic fox
is to flea fanciers what the egg of the
great aux is to collectors of birds
eggs, for only two perfect specimens
are known to exist in the collection.
In addition to the reward referred to,
Mr. Rothschild has again fitted out the
Forget-Me-Not, which is already at
work looking for the flea.
