the University of New Mexico, ana
three guides, one of wnom is Antoine
Maqu h guaz. who guided Sir Martin
Conway. the noted english eS olorer,
when he attempted and failed to do
what Miss Peck has just accomplished
Besides having attained the chief OBJ
ject of reaching the summit of what
has been considered an inaccessible
peak, the expedition is believed u have
found much of interest &c the scientific
world DR. Tights purpose In accom-
pany the expedition was mainly to ma
the remains OF a pigmy city, believed to
be buried high UP on the mountain SIDE,
dina about which weird stories are told.
Besides the locating of this pigmy city.
there are other questions OF much IN
terest in connection with the Andes

the top, has been in a position 10 set
tie for the benefit of the world of SCI
ence.
Before sailing from New York last
June Miss Peck said the successful as
cent of Mount Sorata would be the
crowning event of her l1f. Five thou
sand dollars was spent in making the
expedition the best equipped OF It's
kind, care being taken TO provide for
every obstacle met by men who have
attempted TO but failed TO reach Sora-
tas top. In the equipment We're fve
oxygen tanks, one for each member OF
the party, and an extra tank for emer-
eencies. These were made OF rubber

ing the oxygen. The party depended
for food mainly upon parched maize
and native wine but also carried a sup
ply of condensed foods, including erbs-
wurst. the food of the German army.

a remarkable career of mountain climb
ing by woman who in a few years

rope and America, including Mount
Orizaba in Mexico. which is 1S,60o feet
high. and, next to Mount Mckinley, is
the highest peak in North America,

Way With Union BARRIERS.


Special to Times Republican.
Davenport, Sept. A special meet
ing Of the Davenport BARRIERS Union last
night resulted in an amicable settle-
ment OF the Sunday closing question,
which has been tossed about on a sea
of uncertainty for two months past.
The masters won their day, in that the
barber shops proceed at once to open
on Sunday and with the sanction OF the
union employees, but they alone were
not victorious, for the journeyulen Sc
cured liberal concessions and would not
consent to the Sunday work unless the
demands which they made were
granted.
The session was a warm one. The
masters did not favor the granting OF a
s12 per week salary for the men and
the concession that they get half Of the
money they earn over SIS instead OF
$50 as has been the rule. They also
buclced quite strennously at the sci1ed-
ule OF working 1loure which the union
men demanded. The latter were frm,
however, and at Last, after an hour or
more OF argument put the question to
their employers for a final answer. and
the arbitration committee which the
Master BARRIERS Association had sent TO
dfcker. granted the concessions.

RULES FOR WIRELESS.
Treaty for Regulation of Transmission
Of MESSAGES.

Washington, Sept 4.-The full text
of .the protocol signed at the recent
international wireless telegraphy con-
ference at Berlin was made public here
last night. 1t confirms the summary
called from Berlin last night.
The protocol is likely to form basis
for a treaty for the regulation of in
Iternational wireless telegraphy COM
munication.
The exchange of correspondence be-
| tween vessels at sea and wireless coast
stations open to the general telegraphic
service is subject TO the following con-
dittons:
Il. Any fixed station whose field OF
action extends to the sea is styled coast
, station.
Y. Coast stations are bound to re-
ceive and transmit kilograms origin
ating from or intended for vessels at
sea without any distinction of wireless
telfgraphy system used by the lat
ter.
"8. The contracting parties shall pub
lish any technical information likely TO
facilitate or expedite communications
between coast stations and ships at
sea.
~ The wireless station must. unle SIS
there should be absolute impossibility
accept In preference requests for help
/ that may come from vessels.
s. The service of the wireless teleg
ralhy stations must be organized as far
as practicable SO as not to interfere
with the service OF other stations"
The protocol fixes basis upon which
charges for wireless messages shall ha
made. and provides for a future inter
national conference.
The American delegates had no au-
thority to bind the United States to any
agreement, but the protocol embodies
the views of the commissioners from
the United States.

husband to be the man who was killed
on the railroad at Ames two weeks ago

house, who moved to Des Moines a
short time ago, has applied TO the state

Yesterday she called at the offtce OF

responded exactly With that OF her
husband on the day he disappe red
from his home in Des Moines three
weeks ago. When he left her home he
had his pension papers on his person.
The fact that the man found at Anes

have left his certificates at the Local
