Theory as to $4,000 Theft.

1t having proved impossible up to
the present to obtain any trace of the
$173, 900 which mysteriously disappear
ed from the Chicago subtreasury, the
secret service officers are now work
ing on the theory that an employe of
the subtreasury is subject to periods
OF mental alteration. He has been
examined and has admitted to attacks
when his mind is blank, and he can
not remember what occurred during
this time. 1t is thought that the man,
when in his normal condition is care
full and thoroughly honest, may have
taken the money and has now forgot
ten where it was placed. He will be
closely watched in the hope that some
clue to the location of the missing
money may be found

royalty of the Danish court, While
thousands Of people flocked to see him
and listen to the words of knowledge
and wisdom that fell from his baby
lips.
Another infant phenomenon, whose
line was music instead of languages,
was beloved Mozart, who was looked
upon as Il harpschord expert almost
before he could talk. AS matter OF

At Columbia.

"Old Arkansaw," which is described
as "a heart story of the hills of Ar
kansas" will be the attraction at the
Columbia theater this week. "Old Ar.
kansaw" is termed a melodramatic
comedy, and is termed to be woven
around an interesting plot, replete with
thrilling situations and startling eli
makes.
There are a number of clever spe-
cialities introduced throughout the
play, including original songs, duets,
quartets and dances, both fancy and
grotesque. The comedy element is
said to be strong feature, the
characters being peculiar and typical
OF the class of natives in the back
woods of Arkansas.
The author is said to have spent a
number of months in that section and
to have drawn his characters from
life.
Manager Dreher of the Columbia
tkeater announces that hereafter no
more Sunday matinees will be play

COMMANDER PEARY IN
NEED FOR HIS TRIP.
EXPLORER SAYS HE MUST HAVE
MORE MONEY TO REACH
THE NORTH POLE.

Lack of $1,000 to finance tL2 c~pedi-
ton may mean the Abandonment CT the
dash to the north pole which Com
mander Peary has planned for this
summer. The explorer, who has earned
the distinction of having reached "the
farthest north" and who truly may be
said to live for the purpose of reveal
ing to the world the mysteries of the
pole itself, is deeply downcast at the
possibility that he may not be able to
try again.
This is a work which | must do, a
great work for which | was intended. 30
said Commander Peary and with a
confidence that his work must be help
ed from somewhere, he said;
THE money will come: somehow
feel certain of that. But if was only
assured now, what relief it would be.
and how | could concentrate all my
energies on the details of the eXped-
ton. Remember, we were but ia
miles from the goal on our last trip.
1t would be pity indeed if we could
not try again"
Peary wants to start from New York
the latter part of June His ship, The
Roosevelt, which proved its highest
worth on the last expedition, is now
being prepared for te next attack on
the northern ice fields. The greater
part of the $4,000 already subscribed
will be spent in repairing the boat, and
100000 more will be needed for gen
eral expenses. The Peary Arctic club
is caring largely for the reftting of
the Roosevelt, and it has issued an
appeal for contributions from the peo-
pie of the country, so that a total of
100000 may be raised.
The club feels, as does Commander
Peary himself, that the people should
share in the next expedition. The
idea of permitting the public school
children Of the country to take part in
the movement has been suggested to
Peary. 1t met with his approval, but
he is in doubt as to how such a pro-
gram could be carried out.
Il am not complaining" he said,
but if | was certain about the mate
burden would be lifted. Did you ever
realize what the details of the prepare
ton for the invasion of the north
means If anything is left undOne or

! ally gotten away, then it is too late
! We SGT along as best We can"
To this gigantic task of discovery
Commander Peary implicitly believes
his fellow countrymen should lend
their interest and support. and his alb
solute confidence that he has been as
signed to attain the goal expresses
his conviction that he will win.
Peary says if conditions are favor.
able the objects of the expedition
might be accomplished in one season
But he might remain north as long as
three years. He was preparing, he
said, for long and strong battle.
