Nav Call Special Session.

Lincoln Sept. 4.-When the federal
court meets in October a decision is
expected upon the controverted points
in the bank deposit guaranty case. All
of the briefs have now been submitted
to the court, and there is nothing to
do but wait on the decision.
Governor Shallenberger tells all
callers who inquire about the posi-
bility of a special session of the legis-
lature next winter that he proposes
to call one if the decision is adverse
to the law and if there is enough left
of it to make it worth while attempt
ing to make a workable piece of legis-
lation. The governor has held sew
|eral conferences with those interested
in the litigation, and they have as
sured him that they believe, If the law
is held unconstitutional that it will
be upon sections of the law relating to
the application of 1t to banks, and that
the vital principle cannot be cut out
of it.

Chased Her Out in the corntield.

Wayne Democrat: A bunch OF farm
ers in a locality close to Wayne are
rolling a racy bit of news about one of
their neighbors who recently, in a fit
of jealous anger, slapped his wife and
drove her out in darkness of night
with only a scanty night robe on.
Afraid to return to the house, the wo-
man kept hid in a cornfield all night,
and at daybreak farmer driving past
in his buggy, noticed her plight and
inquired the trouble. Upon being told
her difficulty the kind farmer wrapped
a blanket about the almost nude wo-
man and took her to her sisters home,
where she remained three days before
being found by the repentant husband,
who had tramped the fields over in
search of his abused better half. The
story is to the effect that they are now
living as happily as a pair OF doves.
The cause of the husbands wrath ex-
planned and his suspicious having no
foundation, no names need now be
mentioned in this foxy tale of rural
infelicity.

close of the first day after his hurried
trip from the Pacific coast, incident

The remark was made in response
to questions relative to the Ballinger-

Mr.. Ballinger refused to explain the

1.-THE Third Deuree."

Henry B. Harris will present at the
Auditorium theater the evening of
Tuesday, September IA, Charles Klein's
latest successful play, "The Third De-
gree" The production is a duplicate
identical to that used during the seven
months run of 1.-The Third Degree"
at the Hudson theater, New York
The story deals with the misfortunes
that befall Howard Jeffries, jr., son Of
a wealthy member of the Knickerbock.
er set following his marriage to a
young woman far his inferior in the
social scale. Young Jeffries is dis.
owned by his father. Poverty and deg
radiation stares him in the face and he
visits a former college friend in his
apartment for the purpose of nego-
tiating a loan with which to finance a
scheme he has in mind. The untimely
death Of his friend, occurring under
strange circumstances while he is on
the premises, and his being found in a
drunken stupor and arrested by the
police, serve to introduce his wife and
other characters that fit into the play
in a most natural manner
The police compel young Jeffries to
undergo the sweating process of "the
third degree" and by reason of undue
influence, he is forced to confess that
he is the author of the crime. His
young wife calls upon her father-in.
law for aid to clear his son of the vile
charge, but instead of being encou
aged, she is rebuffed. The rebuff o..iy
serves to make her the more deter.

woman's ingenuity, she enlists the aid
of the greatest lawyer in New York

From this point the play assumes a
metaphysical phase-a treatment ex

WIFE's RESIDENCE NO HELP.
Homesteader Loses Claim nough Bet.
ter Half Lived on II Continuously.

Rapid City, S. d., Sept Acting
Commissioner S. V. Proudfit, of the
general land office, has handed down
a decision in a case sent up from the
Rapid City land office, refusing to &C.
cept the proof of a claim filed upon
by a Sioux City photographer. The
decision establishes, IN brief, that a
mans wife cannot establish residence
on a claim. 1t was brought out in the
testimony that his wife had made the
claim her continuous residence since
August Z, 1907, but that the husband
had been absent two or three months
at a time, and on one occasion six
months. Commissioner Proudfit says:
Residence under homestead laws
must be established by the personal
act of the entryman. Residence on a
homestead must be in person and can.
not be by proxy, even by member
of the entryman's family. Residence
under the homestead law cannot be es.
tablished by the acts of another"
This decision is only another mani.
Hesitation of the determination of the
general land office to be more strict
in requiring literal compliance with
the provisions of the homestead law.

People Through Nebraska Primaries.
Lincoln, Sept. 4.-Speaker Cannon
wants to come to Nebraska and mix In
the fight for congress next year, He
has written to former Congressman
Pollard proffering his services. Pol
lard was beaten in the First Nebraska
district last year by Congressman Ma
guire. One of the causes of his defeat
was his friendship for Cannon. The
speaker had taken Pollard up and
given him an acceptable and impor-
tant assignment on the agricultural
committee. and Pollard declined to
take and stand against Cannon or
pledge himself that, If elected, he
would vote against him for speaker,
He lost the district, normally republi-
can by $500, Mcguire beating him by
nearly 1000.
1t is not known whether the proffer
was to help Pollard in his fight for the
republican nomination. George E. To-
hey, the leading candidate for the
place against Pollard, has taken an
open stand against Cannon, pledging
himself not to vote for him for speaker
and it is figured out that Cannon's prof
fer goes to the primary fight, as there
he will have chance to defend him
self before Nebraska audiences.

Cook, as Youth, Drove Milk Cart.

New York, Sept. 4.-What manner of
man is Frederick Albert Cook of
Brooklyn, that he should plunge into
a white companion and come back
with the laurels of the worlds great
est discoverer?
"a strong-minded man with a per
sonal ambition and the courage to win
it," his friends characterize him.
From driving a milk wagon over a
Brooklyn route at SIS a week to discov.
ering the north pole has not been such
a far cry for DR.. Cook, for he is but A
years of age now.
DR.. Cook was born OF German par
entage at Calicoon Depot, N. Y, in
June, 1865, and came to Brooklyn
when he was 16 years old, determined
to do something worth while" as he
put 1t.
Young Cook worked hard in the
early morning hours on his milk route
and saved enough money to go through
the University of the City of New
York, where he took his medical de-
gree. Even then he plodded on in the
offices of the dairy, which is still run
in Brooklyn under the name of Cook
Brothers. He made his work finance
him in gaining a higher education, this
time graduating from the College of
Physicians and Surgeons with high
honors.
DR.. Cook is a splendid specimen OF
physical manhood. He is feet 9lb
inches tall, weighed 10 pounds on the
day he left New York, more than two
years ago, and has the same rudy
complexion as when he left his ia.
theirs farm at Callicoon Depot. His
nose Is Roman, his chin resolute and

When the Belgian Antarctic expedI-
tlon started In 1897 DR. Cook went
along as surgeon, photographer and
onthropologist remaining there until
1899, though failing to reach the pole.
While in the frozen south his
fiance, Miss Anna l.. Forbes of Brook
lyn died, and he did not know OF her
death for more than n year afterward.
In 1902 he married Mrs. Mary +.
Hunt Of Brooklyn and has two chill
dren.
DIR. Cooks success, in the opinion OF
many scientists and explorers, has
proved the correctness of his theory
that the time to make dash for the
pole is In the dead of winter when the
ice fields are firmer and more extern
sive than in spring, when the more
open water Is encountered.
Revoutionizes All Theories.
He staked his reputation-and his
life-on this theory and his success
Will undoubtedly revolutionize all po-
lar expeditions in the future by land.
Cook held that the ice was not ONLY
frmed in winter, but by reason Of this
would offer comparatively smooth sur
faces for shedding. He insisted that IA
winter expedition would not be baked
so often by open lanes of water and
shifting ice foes. He pinned his faith
to dogs and sledges rather than to
boats or the fickleness of seeking
transportation by water.
In one of his books on arctic explo-
ration, DR., Cook writes of his ambi-
lions long before he discovered the
pole.
Few of us ever had long run over
hill of happiness without stumbling
upon several ups and downs but we
soon forget this and altogether, life
seems easy enough to most of us who
live in temperate climes. It is not the
same, however for the men who seek
the realms of the frozen lands in the
arctic and antarctic. Their path is
over series Of ups and downs, but
mostly ups. Their comfort, If they
have any, is evolved in the effort to
overcome the ever-present discomfort.
Frieid Zone Lures Explorer.
Inc men VINO aim to reach the pole
are kicked about by giant seas, are
pounded by heavy storms, are brushed
about by freezing drifts of snow. and
yet they calmly resign themselves to-
become the footballs of hard fate be-
cause of few pleasures. An effort
only partly crowned with success gives
such elation and Joy that all the suf-
fering and discomforts are forgotten.
Herein lies the reason for the I'M
faltering law that he, who has once
beheld the other worlds conditions and
has felt the charm of the white snowy
silence of the frigid zone, will ever
long to return.

cannot return to these dreams of his
life he either commits suicide or dies
