FEAR PEARY MAY
HAVE BEEN LOST
NO TIDINeS RECEIVED FROM
THE FAR NORTH
Naval Men at Washington Believe
Great Explorers Ship, the Roose-
welt, Has Been Crushed
in lcebergs
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
CHICAGO, July IA dispatch to the
Record Herald from Washington says
That Captain Robert E. Peary has
sacrificed his life in an effort to dis
cover the north pole Is the fear Of naval
men here. who are worried by the rail-
ure to get any tidings of the ship
Roosevelt, which sailed for the Arctic
regions July 16, 1905
Advices from the American Geograph-
ical society add to their fears. Re-
ports are that the weather in the far
north this spring and early summer
was more than usually rigorous, that
severe storms are frequent and that
the ice is heavy. Consequently it Is
feared that Peary's ship may have been
ground to pieces by the drifting ice.
The explorers plans when he left
last summer were to proceed to the
farthest possible point of land north Of
Cape Sabine and within 500 miles of the
pole.
Was to Establish Winter Base
There he was to establish winter
base and make all preparations for a
dash across the ice this summer as soon
as weather conditions would permit.
This he expected would not occupy
more than six weeks, and according to
his calculations he would reach home
not later than october OF this year
Esquimaux and dogs, ii is supposed,
were taken aboard the Roosevelt last
summer for II is on the hardy inhab-
itants of the polar regions that Peary
has always relied. 1t was thought,
however. that a whaling vessel might
bring some tidings of the Roosevelt,
and the failure of any news of the ex-
petition to reach the outside world for
so many months is arousing the keen
est anxiety.

| desire, through the medium of the

that the circumstances leading to this
conclusion shall be fully and frankly
stated. 1t is well known that my can
didacy originated in certain local griev-
ances. Mr.. Martin has spent the past
few days in the city, and has taken up
quite generally, with our people, the
Black Hills political situation, more par
ticularly as respects Pennington county,
and has assured them that his candidacy
for the United States senate is in no
sense inL!ical to the welfare of this, or
any other county of the Black Hills,
and its important interests, will receive
square deal Under these circum.
stances, feel at greater liberty to re-
spect my personal wishes in the matter,
and withdraw.
However, / wish 10 express my grati-
tude to the good friends and especially
the newspaper boys for their generous
expressions of confidence and esteem.
Their loyalty and support has transcend

The beginning of new month is to
the average public school pupil, what

Many good resolutions have been
formed by those who were compelled to
