FEAT OF AN ARMY OFFICER.
Beat OLeary's Walking Record In
the Wflds of Alaska.

hCat " " ahCtOEo IL
the Wflds of Alaska.
The feat of O'Leary in walking 1000
miles in 1000 hours has reminded the
officers of the Fourth Infantry of a
feat accomplished by Captain Joseph
G. Cashier, of that regiment, who beat
O'Learys record by about two miles
per day in the wilds Of Alaska. In
other words, Captain Cashier, who was
then a lieutenant Of the Fourth Infan-
try, walked a distance of 1875 miles
in fifty-two days, an average Of TWEEN
ty-six miles per day. The story of the
hardships undergone by Lieut.. Cashier
during an exploring expedition in the
years 1S9S-99 is one of thrilling and in
tense interest. On June 6, 1898, he
Joined an exploration expedition sent
out by the government to find a pass
through the Alaskan Mountain range
of which Mount Mckinley, the highest
peak In America, forms a part. Start
ing from the northwestern part Of
Alaska Lieutenant Cashier and two
privates Of the Fourteenth Infantry
across an unexplored country, finally
arriving at the Yukon, River, near the
mouth Of the Tanana River, Oct IL,
1898, having traversed a distance Of
nearly 1000 miles.
1t was a ragged and forlorn party
that was taken in charge by a band Of
Tanana Indians at that point nd feted
on moose meat and other delicacies
Lieutenant Cashier was delirious by
reason of the prlvations and hardships
he endured. For six days the party
had lived on nothing but wild cram
berries, as even the rose apple, which
had formed a portion of their diet
with what game they could kill, had
become inaccessible ON account of the
deep snow.
At an early stage of the Journey
Lieutenant Cashier and the two SOL
diers had lost their firearms and blan-
stream. A low tree had brushed the
members of the party and all their eff
/ fects into the deep river. They were
lucky to save a few matches with
which to start a fire. The shoes of the
officer and soldiers had become worn to
shreds. and they found it necessary to
strip themselves of part of their cloth
ing with which to bandage their feet.
The soles and other parts of their
feet became mass of running sores.
The party started out with dogs and
sleds to carry their baggage, but the
dogs persisted for lack of food, short
ly after crossing the mountain range.
Once on the Yukon, the two soldiers
decided they had had enough of ex-
ploring. and joined some troops a short
distance away. Captain Cashier, being
Of adventurous disposition. found a
Canadian who would accompany him
up the Yukon, so they started on their
tramp on the ice to the mouth of the
river. 1t was on this journey that a
record of twenty-six miles a day was
made Upon his arrival at Skagway,
on the western coast, on Feb "a, 1899,
Lieutenant Cashier was Informed that
the government was organizing a re-
lief expedition TO search for him.

St. Louis, May 2.-A business organ | Mation to be known as the National | Prosperity Association of St. Louis has been formed as the result of confer ence held by business men during the last three days, and a formal address was issued to the business interests of the country. It is proposed to extend the qualifications of the association | throughout the country for the better 1 ment of all classes of business. It is stated that the association has for its object the encouragement of the return of prosperity and uplifting of business Interests generally.
 The officers of the association com prlsing the executive committee are: Chairman. E. c. Simmons. formerly president of the Simmons Hardware company; vice chairman, W. K. Bixby, formerly president of the American Car and Foundry company. Purpose of the Association. In the formal address it is set forth that the purpose of the National Pros perity Association of St Louis is:
 To keep the dinner pail full, to keep the pay car going, to keep the factory busy, to keep workmen employed and maintain present wages. The address continues:
 "The National Prosperity Association of St. Louis has nothing to do with the past, It looks forward. It is not politi- cal. It has platform. The two blanks are square deal and a square meal for every man. There is nothing fun damentally wrong with the business situation. The financial clouds have rolled by. The crop prospects, that ba- sis of all things for us. are exception. ally good. We believe that we can get back to normal conditions quickly if we will. We do not see why we should wait for the closing months of 1908 or for the spring of 1909.
 "commercial Sun Is Shining"
 "We have passed the low level. The commercial sun is shining. This is the business May day The time for this movement is ripe right now. It was not ripe before.
 ''The St. Louis movement may spread to other communities. We hope it will. The prosperity we promote is national. The plans and methods of the National Prosperity Association of St. Louis are available to any business organization or any individual anywhere. Our as- sociation will welcome any helpful suggestion to increase its efficiency. We are confident that if the business men of the United States join in the St. Louis movement prosperity will be at full tide before the end of the year and that 1909 will be the best business year our country has known"
 Chairman Simmons said:
 We have formed a business organi- zation having for it's object the encour- agement of return of prosperity sooner than might otherwise occur without help. We believ. that present conditions are exceedingly favorable to this"
