Peary is attacking the yeracity
of DR.. Cook and endeayoring to
break down the faith of the peo-
pie in the Brooklyn explorer.
First Commander Pearv has sub.
mitted a map showing the route
travelled by DR.. Cook as sworn
to by the Eskimo boys who &C.
companied him. Since this map
and accompanying affidavits have
been submitted to show that DR..
Cook never made the ascent to
the top of Mt. Mckinley. If
Peary had desired to entrench
DR.. Cooks position he could not
have adopted methods more cal
culated to accomplish that pur-
pose. Neither the map nor aft.
davits are conclusive, and if
Peary has no further evidence to
,substantiate his claim that DIR.
Cook is a monumental liar, he
will have added to the number
who look upon Cook as a daring
and successful explorer, has
accomplished the great task of
discovering the North pole. Elk.

A Fable.

Once on q time there was q mar
who kept a secret for many, many
months. He went to every one Of
his friends and told them of some
thing great and worthy that he "a
going to do.
"Now," said he to each one, II wish
you would tell everybody you can,
far and near, that it may spread and
do good" And then he went his way.
"Huh!" said each one to himself,
after the mans back was turned,
docs he think I am going to be his
mouthpiece and tell everybody what
he is going to do? Am I going to
be his press agent; guess not; I'll keep
it to myself" and he did; and as a
result there was nothing said about
the mans intentions until everything
was done to his satisfaction.
Moral: Blow your own horn loud
enough and the rest of the band will
desert you.

Cruel Mothers.

If there's m thing makes me more
Indignant than another" she was say
ing 1T is to see a mother pinch her
baby in the street a before all the
people. Does she think the child has
no self-respect? I've 9 some chill
dren behave like little heroes un-
der such affection. l saw a boy of
five hold his breath instead of crying
out, turn and look big-eyed to see if
we were watching and stay perfectly
still afterward, though I could see the
place where she pinched him on his
little wrist turn black and blue. It
must have hurt him terribly, and still
he never whimpered. 1t made me
half sick to have to sit and see that
without saying anything"

MAuRA CABINET FORCED OUT

SCiIOI WOI
Madrid, Oct. 22.-TEe Spanish cabi-
net, which was formed Jan. rs, 1907,
under the premiership of Antonio Maui
IA, resigned aa Il result of the bitter
attacks made against the government
by the former premier. Moret y Prem
dergast, representing a powerful OPP,
position.
At a conference with King Alfonso,
Premier Maura told the king that, in
the face of Senior Moret's statement
that the opposition would refuse to
discuss even the NEST urgent meas
ures, he had no option but to resign.
He asked, however. the members of
the majority to support the new min
istry.
Mcret y ~Prendergast formed a new
ninistry, himself assuming the post
of premier and minister of the i'll
terror.
When the president of the chamber
of deputies made the announcement
of the cabinets resignation it was re.
ceived with such. an ear-splitting up
roar that he was forced to adjourn the
sitting.

TWO STORIES Tol6 BY BOY 7
Victim Of Accident or Of a Brutal
Crime.

Crime.
Citizens passing by the park in
Aneta in the middle of the
town at $50 o'clock at night
stared trans1xed at a flaming figure,
running through the streets, trailed
by sheets of fire, out of which issued
the terrible shrit'ks Of a burning boy
Kenneth, the twelve-year-old son OF
Simon Mckenzie, butcher, leader Of
the strong reform association there
while delivering packages Of meat fol
his father. had been met in the dark
avenues of the park by two men, who
hurled him to the ground. poured oil
from his own lantern over him and
ignited it.
The two men fled. The youth rolled
over on the grass, ieaped to his feet
screamed at the top Of his voice in
torture and rushed like a meteor to
the street.
Passersby bore him to the ground
and quenched the fire with parts Of
their own clothing.
The child had been perhaps fatally
burned. He was rushed to the St
Johns hospital at Fargo.
On account Of the prominence OF
Simon Mckenzie in the fight being
waged there against the. liquor ele
mcnt, the deed is ascribed to the
hatred and threats of that class
against him.
the City improvement association
has only been recently formed for the
purpose of stopping the blind pig and
b~ootleggins business. which, it is
said, has existed there unchecked fol
years. The activity against the law
less element has. lately reached it's
highest efficiency.
It is believed that the men who
committed the crime were under the
influence Of liquor.
Simon Mckenzie is nearly crazed
over the attack on his son.
Joseph Stewart, the first man to
reach the living tulc]l, extinguished
the flames and took the boy home
lie was able to walk, and explained to
Stewart that his lantern busted" and
the oil set fire to mis- clothing. That
night the pain. was ST intense that the
youth was put un,ler the influence Of
m anes:hetic.
The next morning when ne awoke
he told a story IF being caught by-twc
n who poured oil from the lantern
over hilu. then set fire to his cloth
Inc. Some people contend it was
purely accidental, and that the boy
told the truth in his original story, and
the later one Wa; the result Of q high.
.ly excited mind from taking ether.

President Airs Views on Water.

OPPOSES BIG BOND ISSUE
Any Plan Adopted Must Benefit
the Whole Country.

st. Louis. Oct. 26.-Mil.ions of
bonds for inland waterway improve.
ment, but not a penny for the pork
barrel Was the new slogan enacted by
President Taft on the eve of his de-
parture down the Mississippi to look
into the proposition for a laSe-to-Sulf
Improvement.
About 200 United States senators
1nd congressman, including Speaker
Cannon himself, SAT on the platform
of the coliseum when the president
made his declaration. The immense
audience. filling every quarter of the
big auditorium, cheered it's approval,
There is a project now on foot"
cried the president, for his voice was
almost gone and he was speaking with
q great effort, shat involves the issue
Of $500, 100000 or $1,000 900, 900 in
bonds for the improvement Of the
Mississippi, the improvements to b.
distributed between various sections
of the Mississippi valley, a part 10 the
Atlantic, a part to Missouri and so on.
I an opposed to it. I am opposed to
1T, not only because it smells of the
pork barrel, but it will be the pork
barrel"
Elsewhere the. president declared:
Must Benefit Whole Country.
'Every measure that is to be taken
tup and adopted must be on the ground
that it is useful to the country at
large, and not on the ground that it
is going 20 send certain congressman
back to congress or on the ground
that it is going to give g certain part
of the country during the expenditure
of that money prosperity. If that is
the principle, and che which I depre-
cate. that is to obtain, I am i'll favor
of going along the same old-way we
have gone before"
With these reservations the nresl.
dent renewed all his declarations of
last Friday at Corpus Christi in favor
of a definite and comparative plan for
the Improvement Ct inland waterways:
and Of a bond issue to carry out the
plan once it has beer adopted.
The president flung this demand fer
'bonl issue in the stseth Of Speaker
Cannon. who SIT only Sin feet away
He faced the speaker also when be
made his declaration with regard to
the pork barrel" and uncle joe" as
chairman of the house committee on
appropriations, was the originator OF
the pork barrel, and is now, as speak.
er, the man who measures the amount
of pork that is to he distributed.
