Good Parentage
and Family Honor
Save Boy from Pen
Son of Tennessee Sheriff and Nephew
of Judge Gets Only Jail
Term.

Youth, good parentage and an evident
desire to shield the honored family name
saved Charles Story, alias Charles White,
from the pe~nitentiary and instead OF sem
fencing him to a term In the state prison
Judge Sears sent the lad to the county jail
for a term of six months.
Story was arrested in Omaha March 2 for
the theft of six sacks Of rice from a box
car on the tracks of the Omaha Bridge and
Terminal company. The rice was consigned
70 Allen Bros. When taken into custody
he admitted the theft and pleaded guilty
before Judge Sears OF the criminal bench
Monday morning. The officers had taken
occasion to verify the lads statements that
his father is sheriff Of a count in Tonnes
see and his uncle is judge in the same
county, and these facts were taken into
consideration by the judge when sentence
was passed.
The boy promised the court that he
would endeavor to lead an exemplary life
hereafter. After giving him a short lecture
the Judge sentenced him to six months In
the county Jail, to date from the time of
arrest, He was also e~njoined TO write his
her at least once a week.

REPUBLICAN ARRAIGNS
REPUBLICANS.
Senator DolIiEer Charges Party With
Bargaining For Votes on Tariff.

The following extracts from the re-
port of proceedings in the senate on
the final vote of the so-called revision
of the tariff shows that Western re-
pubicans are very far from agreeing
with their Eastern political confreres
on the subject:
Senator Dolliver opened his re-
marks with a defense of his course
as a Republican in contending for
lower customs duties. He denied the
right of other Republican senators
to question his position in the Senate,
a position which, he said, was die
tated by his conscience.
The people of his State, he added,
had been referred to as farm folk, ="
while the State itself had been declar-
ed to be unreliable, given to populism
and greenbackism. Iowa, he insist
ed, was upholding the best interests
of the protective policy.
Here" he said, 1--WE have had the
spectacle of men compelled to bargain
with the authorities which control
the Senate for the protection of their
own people. Majorities are obtained
by system of reciprocity arranged
in the citadel of protection
Presenting a statement prepared
nv the Treasury neDartment Mr.
Dolliver said it showed the rates in
the cotton schedule were increased
over the present law ali along the
line, and some of them as much as
100 per cent.

A MAN OF MANY "EX'S."
Corpus Christi Paper Tells of Many
Offices Held BY Civil Engineer Fred
Warren.

On the occasion of his visit to Cor
pus Christi last week, Fred w War
rem, the well known civil engineer and
architect of Brownsville, who former
ly resided at Kingsville, the Corpus
Christi Herald published the following
complimentary notice of his visit:
Mr.. Fred W. Warren, who survey
ed and laid out the city of Kingsville;
ex-justice of the peace; ex-mayor of
Kingsville; ex-president South Tex
as Truck Growers Assn; ex-surveyor
of the KingsvilIe Townsite Company;
ex-founder, publisher and editor of
the Kingsville Record; all-arOund
good Indian" and one of the best
civil engineers in the State, is among
the late arrivals in the city.
The reason Mr.. Warren has so
many "ex's" prefixed to his name is
because he decided to quit Kingsville
for the Lower Rio Grande Valley and
resume the practice of his profession,
civil engineering. He has opened an
Office in Brownsville and spends most
of his time there, although his family
still reside on their pretty farm near
Kingsville. Mr.. Warren has many
friends in Corpus Christi who are al
ways glad to meet and greet him, and
who viii leave nothing undone to
make his stay at the seaside one of
pleasure.
His mission to Corpus Christi is to
arrange for the meeting here on the
18th and 18th of the Southern Texas
Truck Growers Association, of which
he is still a director, and as he is be-
ing looked after by Col. Hopkins,
manager of the Seaside Hotel, it goes
without saying that his stay in
Corpus Christi will be one of enjoy
ment and pleasure. Christi

TEXAS SECRETARIES
WORK FOR TEXAS.
Texas Prosperity Day at Dallas Fair
Will be Made an Elaborate Affair.

FIT. Worth, Texas, Aug s, 1909.
One of the largest outgrowths of
the Commercial Secretaries Institute
that was in session here for three
days this week was the decision to
hold a Texas Prosperity Day at the
Dallas Fair. The day has been set
for Wednesday, October 81, and pre-
parations have begun for making it
an elaborate affair. President Ar
mold has been authorized by the asso-
citation to appoint a competent pro-
gram committee and he will do so
within few days.
A special effort will be made to
have all the Texas secretaries in at
tendance upon the fair that day,
when numerous problems in the pros
perity of Texas will be discussed by
men who know. But the commercial
and industrial promoters will not be
confined to Texas men, for the secre-
taries of the neighboring states will
be invited to participate in the affair.
Along with the Prosperity Day
proper, there will be given special
attention to the park exhibit and the
agricultural and industrial display
that will be conducted throughout the
fair under the auspices of the asso-
citation. The park exhibit will con-
sist of an exemplification of the best
parking methods, the care of the
lawn and trees, the park trees and
flowers that are best adapted to Texas
soil and climate, and other matters
of vital moment to making parks in
the state. This feature will be under
the direction of the park committee
of the association and it promises to
form one of the main attractions of
the fair. The agricultural display
will represent particular committees
rather than a classified exhibition
according to the articles themselves.
Each commercial secretary who wants
to make an exhibit of his community
will gather such things as he cares
to offer and label the entire lot as
coming from his town and commun-
| ity
No effort will be spared in press
ing the claims of the newly-organized
Prosperity Club. Ida NJ. Darden
secretary-treasurer, will leave in a
few days on a tour of the state in
which she will organize local pros
perity clubs in various communities
She expects to control large mem
bership in every section of Texas

Secretaries Association will soor

silence he ventured to say something
sentimental She looked at him and
said in a scornful tone of voice:
IF there is anything l hate it is
sentiment. 1 think it is so nonsen-
steal"
You surely can't think that is
sentimental" he said. THAI was
just a remark passed for the want of
something to say. 1 will tell you of
a person who was sentimental:

mental that every day she took half
hour off to go down to the morgue to
see if any of her admirers had COM
mitted suicide.

said to be the finest story ever writ
ten in English-while here at home
Mr. Bierce is not half so renowned as

Mr.. Collier ended with an epigram

Y: Pole reached. Roosevelt safe.

When the text Of the message re-
ceived in New York from Commander
Peary was read to him by a representa-
tive of the Associated Press, Mr..
Bridgeman said;
THAT settles it beyond doubt. That
phrasing is the exact one Commander
Peary and / agreed upon before he
went north. There were a lot of words
in code. Several began with the word
sun and these indicated he had been
successful in his quest of the pole.
Il have left my list of code words at
Northampton, but I think the word
sunshine was the code word we agreed
upon for Pole reached; Roosevelt safe
There were several words beginning
with 'moon,' which meant Commander
Peary had not reached the pole
Mr.. Bridgeman said the message re-
eeived indicated that Commander Peary
would come right on in the Roosevelt.
He said he did not expect to go to meet

NEWS MAKES WIFE OF
LIEUT.. PEARY HAPPY
AFTER MANY WORRIES

SOUTH HARPSWELL, Me, Sept. 6.
One of the happiest women in the
world tonight is Mrs. Robert e. Peary,
wife of Commander Peary, to whom
word of her husbands success in reach
ing the north pole after twenty-three
years of study and hardship was first
brought today by a representative of
the Associated Press.
Saddened by the bitter attacks which
for the past few days have been
brought to her by every mail since an
alleged interview with her was pub
lished in connection with the report
that DIR. Cook had reached the pole,
Mrs. Peary at first denied herself to
interviewers.
The Associated Press representative
was met, by Miss Marie Peary, the 16-
year-old daughter of the explorer, and
was told that Mrs. Peary could not
be seen. But the correspondent told
the good news and then Mrs. Peary
hurried to the door. She covered her
face with her hands and exclaimed:
"God bless you. 1t is too good to
be true"
Soon Arthur Palmer, a West Harps-
well storekeeper with whom Mrs.
Peary had made arrangements to have
all messages from her husband deliv-
cred to her. came to the house.
In his hand Mr.. Palmer bore the hus-
bands first word to his wife of his
success.

BELIEVE
PEARY FOUND POLE

WINNIPEG, Man, Sept. 6.-Rritish
scientists here fully credit the report
that Peary has reached the north pole.
Professor Myers, Professor George
Bryce, president of the Royal society
of Canada, and Roderick MacFarlane.
F. r. s., believe it is true.
They say Peary has had the neces-
sary experience and the knowledge he
will bring back will be of greater ben
eft to science than that of DIR. Cook.
Mr.. MacFarlane was formerly con-
nected with the Hudson Bay company
at Fort Anderson and his dealings for
five years there was entirely with Es-
kimoS.
He made valuable explorations in the
arctic circle, being the only holder of
an arctic medal in western Canada.
Knowing the Eskimos as he does,
and appreclating their superior intel
ligence to that of the North American
Indians, he believes their help to an
explorer in locating the north pole is
more valuable than that of white men.
