When the Temperature is at u De-

From the Century

when the Temperature is at II De-
grees of Frost.
From the Century.
Suddenly the mist lifted. and the
temperature, which generally rose dur
ing a gale, by this time had fallen to
u degrees Of frost. The first squall
brought drift snow. and we suffered
greatly from frost bites while securing
our little camp. Our reindeer sleep
ing bags, while warm from previous
use, had been packed on the sledge,
where they became quite fat and froz-
en- hard. SO that when the gale sur
prised us we had to thaw ourselves
gradually into the bags. Later on we
used the dogs to thaw out the bags
for us. They always liked TO roll upon
anything that was not snow or ice,
even were IL but a thrown-away nit
ten; and they would turn round and
round over 1t, imagining that they
were warmer there than on the snow.
When later we threw our frozen bags
on the snow. the dogs generally clus-
tered together on them at once. and
soon after we could get into them.
BY this time the gale was over US In
earnest, and We took refuge In our
sleeping bags Ia the tent. from which
we were not able 10 extricate ourselves
for the next three nights and days,
in which time we expected the icy floor
beneath US to break up al any moment.
Our silk tent rapidly filed with a
dense fog, both from our breath and
from the heat given out BY the Ian
tern: a thick layer OF frost soon COW
cred the inner walls Of the tent, and
beautiful snow crystals shone down on
us through the ventilation hole IN the
bag. The drift snow buried the tent.
and the snow pressure left us just
enough space for our sleeping bags.
The dark LITTLE spot which we formed
on those vast white fields was blotted
out. Men. dogs and sledges all disap-
peared. and the antarctic gale as n
ragged over US found nothing but cold
white solitude.

CrOps-Banl< Statement HeIpea
Market, Which Was Sluggish ana
Irregular Till the Statement Was
Issued.
New York, Oct. S.-The stock market
made a strong demonstration to close
the week and dissipated the reaction
airy appearance which had followed
the weeks opening strength.
The features to-day were United
States Steel preferred and the South
westerns. The movement in the for
mer was apparently in connection
with the sanguine forecasts by persons
having former official connection with
the trade. The rise in the Southwest
ems was attributed to the increasing
estimates of the corn and cotton
yields which find currency in financial
circles.
Bank Statement Helped.
Union Pacific's showing of net earn
ings for August was helpful to that
stock. The market was sluggish and
rather irregular until the appearance
of the bank statement removed an
prehension of what its effect would be.
and prices wavered about the time it
appeared, but the final dealings
brought active buying and the market
closed strong and active.

doing yourself and your county a good
service by attending this instistute and
inducing your neighbors to do the same.
while workers in this department will

feel free to ask questions of all those who
may speak This institute being for the

EX-GOVERNOR TAFT HERE.
He Talks of the Philippines. Hastens
to Washington.
(By the Associated Press.)

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 23.-Former
Governor William Taft of the Philippines,
arrived here today on the steamer Korea.
He boarded the eastern overland train
for Washington. On arriving there he will
at once assume his duties as Secretary Of
War
Governor Taft talked at length to a rep
resentative of the Associated Press, say
ing that conditions in the Philippines
were better than ever before, and that
he doubted if greater tranquility ever
prevailed, under Spanish administration.
1--WE are now looking forward he said,
ito a period of great activity in railroad
building throughout the islands Two new
branch lines have just been authorized by
the government, one of thirty-fiye miles,
another 351 miles.
In reply to a question whether or not
the Philippines were in a condition to
govern themselves, Governor Taft said
that they certainly were not at present,
and to make a prediction on the subject
would be looking too far in the future.

OFFICERS MAKE A BLUNDER.
Arrest of Fred Branham for Killing
Miss Sarah Schaefer.
(By the Associated Press.)

Bedford Ind, Jan pa court oil IN
quiry in progress here since the ldentih-
cation of Miss Sarah Schaeter as the we
tim of an atrocious murder mere lnurS-
day night closed its session tonight WITH
cut forming solution as TO the ldehtlty
Of the murderer or motive lot the
crime
two men have been held as suspects
and in one case, that OF Theodore Bran
ham held at Crothersville, an ahbi mas
been proven. The only evidence against
the man detained at Bloomington is his
description md the fact that he was in
hiding and resisted arrest.
a search is now being prosecuted Tor
the writer of a mysterious letter, supposed
to he a girl, wherein are expressed state
ments that point toward mutual &c
quaintance of Miss Schaefer and the I'M
known man, with whom it is alleged she
was seen Thursday night. 1t is believed
that the discovery of the writer would en-
able the authorities to apprehend the
murderer.
The man who gives his name as Fred
Branham, was arrested after attempting
to hold up q saloon keeper at Crothers-i
Vile. He claimed he was on his way to
Louisville and had not been IN Bedford
The testimony given today by Albert
Deich has done much to strengthen the
opinion of the police that the murder was
unprecedented, resulting from the re-
newal of an old quarrel Delch AYERS that
he saw Miss Schaefer about seven o'clock
Thursday evening in company with
strange man at the corner OF Fourteenth
and M. streets, and that hot words were
exchanged. Deich gave perfect de-
scription of Miss Schaefer and his descrip-
ton of the stranger TALES with that OF
thc man now held at Crothersville.
County Auditor Owens says he saw q
man standing at the corner of Fourteenth
and l.. streets about this time and his
description of the stranger Is Identical
with that given by Deich. Upon his evil
dence the police have based their theory
that the strange man met Miss Schaefer
at the point where they were sen by Deich
at which time a quarrel is alleged to
have occurred.
A few red hairs found clutcheG in the
hands of the dead girl and believed to
have been torn from the moustache OF
her murderer form the only clew The
hairs were from a white man. A bloody
fire brick found near the body was used
20 kill the girl.
The condition of the body was such to
Justify the belief of the physicians who
held the autopsy, that the girl lived To-
several hours after she received the blows
No motive has been found for the crime.
Miss Schaefer was not robbed. She was
killed but, not otherwise mstreated
At least twenty-five unimportant wit
nesses and suspicious characters have
been examined and discharged by board
of inquiry
The police claim to have in their pos
session a letter fritten to Miss Schaefer
by an unknown correspondent in Chicago,
which is expected to throw some light
upon the mystery.
