DR.. COOKS DISCOVERY
North Pole Reached without Donbt.
B-ief Story by the
Discoyerer

In the course of an interview with
an Associated Press representative ON
board the Hans Egede before landing in
Denmark Saturday, where he was
welcomed by the crowned heads of
Europe, DR.. Cook declared with great
emphasis. Il have been to the North
Pole and | have brought back the most
exact observations, absolutely proving
my statement. | have kept diary
throughout my entire expedition in
which I recorded the most minute

GOOD WEATHER, BIG FAIR
Perfect Day Brings Large Crowd.
Prospects Fine for a Sue
cessful Exhibition.

The 10th annual Orleans county fair
is in full swing at Roaring Brook park
as we go to press this afternoon. and
the perfect weather drew crowd of
about 5000 people today. Secretary
Barrows states that the live stock en-
tries while not a large as some years,
far exceed his expectations as he an
ticipated the entrance fees would keep
lot of stock from coming. Besides
the entries being large the quality
is much better than previously. The
poultry exhibit is even larger than
the large exhibits the fair has had
previously and the floral exhibit is
considered excellent, but not as large
as some previous fairs. All the entries
In this department are new and have
never been on exhibition here before.
There are over 40 fast horses stabbed
at the park and the races promise to
be very good. The ball games are
attracting as much attention as any one
thing, possibly, and the Wild West show
is another drawing card, while Cynthia
is also here.
The ball me this morning between
Lyndonville and Barton resulted in
favor of Barton, score to l. The game
was rather loosely played. More about
1t next week.

The Sunday baseball bill is likely to
have a run for its money before it gets
through the legislature. The members
aer being swamped with letters in OPP
position to it and the ministers not
only from this city but from other
towns are talking with the members
urging the INTO vote against it. But
the most serious opposition to the bill
has cropped out in the last few days
in the shape an effort to have the Leg
islature enact law creating a Satur-
day half holiday for working people in
the months of June, July, August and
September.
The strong argument of the sup-
norters of the Sunday baseball bill Is
that it will afford the working peo-
pie a chance to see baseball games on
Sunday who cannot go on any other
day in the week It is to meet this
argument that the ministers are back
ing the Saturday half holiday PROPOSE
ton. And it seems to be taking with
some of the members, for there is a
good deal of talk about it.
Senator Shafer, of Grant county, has
another idea on this subject. and that
lis that he would have the law so
L..
to decide for itself whether it wishes
Sunday baseball or not. He believes
that each city or town should have an
election and let the people vote on the
subject, just the same as they are now
permitted to vote on the question of
whether they shall have saloons or not.
But he has no intentin of introducing
any bill of that kind The house COM
mittee on cities and towns will have
meeting tonight for the purpose of CIV
ing both sides opportunity TO pre-
| sent their arguments of the Sunday
baseball bill. It is believed the COM
mittee will come in tomorrow morning
with a favorable report on the bin,
} and that the bill will pass the house
the last of this week. Then it will go
to the senate, where 1t is believed it
will have a hard time to get through.
Tomorrow night the same committee
will have an open meeting on the bill TO
amend the metropolitan police law, and
favorable report will be made on that
law on Wednesday morning. Unless the
2 republicans enter into caucus agree
5 ment on this bill It will pass. and it is
r believed that caucus action is not pos
sible
Senator Storsenburg and several
4 other democrats spent most of yester-
: day in going over the republican bill
S for legislative e-apportionment, in
4 troduced by Senator Springer. They
picked all kinds OF flaws in it, and
E will get busy now in the preparation
e of a bill that will suit the democrats
: and nobody else.
