OZONE DISINjECTANT.
Started Putting Out Their First Auto
matte Disinfectors Yesterday.

This company is using the latest
scientific sanitary method for the pre-
vention of diseases, which promises to
revolutionize all our present methods.
1t is q well known fact that there
never has been any plumbing invented
that will entirely exclude sewer gas.
So no matter how Clearly the occupants
of a premises may be 1t is impossible
for them to overcome this obnoxious,
poisonous gas by the old way of disin-
fecting.
Disinfectant, to be of value to the
user, must be distributed constantly as
a disinfectant that really disinfects
evaporates very rapidly and must be
constantly replenished. This can only
be done by an automatic machine as no
person can sit up night and day to dis
tribute dfsinfectant as an automatic
machine does.
The Ozone Company shows the merits
of their automatic machine by putting
them in on a free months trial to adj
vertise the machine whether the use OF
them is continued or not after the free
trial
The Oszone proposition is so fair tie
people should be glad to take advanr-
age of their offer of a free trial, as few
goods are offered strictly on their
merits.

ALL DOUBTS REMOVED.
Every One Who Investigates Is Con-
WINGED by DR.. Cook.

Copenhagen, Sept. 4.-Commodore
Hovegaard, the commander of the
Royal yachts, and one of the foremost
of Denmark's Arctic explorers, had an
opportunity today of examining DR..
Cooks journals. Later he said to the
Associated Press:
ST notice certain discrepancies and
inaccuracies in the newspaper reports
of the expedition, but a long CONVERSE
ton with DR.. Cook soon convinced me
that his statements are absolutely re-
liable. His replies to my questions
were clear and precise and left no
doubt in my mind.
.'I did not have sufficient time to
read the diary, but from my brief in
spection thereof, L obtained the firm
impression that the doctors claim of
having reached the North pole is cor
rect.
Naturally I can not place the off,
cia1 seal of acceptance on DR.. COOK
achievement; that is for the head of
his country to do. Cook has cabled
the president of the United States. We
are now awaiting Mr.. Taft's reply and
we hope it will express official recog-
nition."
Daguard Jensen, the Danish inspec-
tor of North Greenland, and the high
est official in that region, who spent
Cook. is satisfied regarding the reli-
ability of DR.. Cooks statement that he
reached the North pole. Apart from
his own observations Inspector Jensen
conferred with the Danish Polar ex-
plorer, Knude Rasmussen, who obtain
ed from the Cape York Eskimos a de-
scription of DR.. Cooks journey. Ras-
mussen is the only European who
fully understands the language of the
Cape York Eskimos from among
whom DR.. Cooks companions were
selected. Rasmussen told Jensen that
the stories of these Eskimos confirm
ed DIR. Cook in all the external details
of his narrative. They corroborated
the statement that the journey ended
quite voluntarily, no Ice or other OBJ
stacles preventing it's continuance.

STILL BETTER.
Trade Expanding andIndustriss
Becoming Mere Active.
Output Increased by Plants AL
ready in Operation.
MORE ASSUMPTIONS.
By Concerns That Have Been
Shut Down Some Time.
Pay Rolls Larger and More
Money in Circulation.
MORE ASSUMPTIONS.

New York. Sept. 4.-Bradstreets
says: AS the season advances trade
tends to show further expansion and
Industrial lines are becoming more
active. Outputs are being increased
by plants already in operation and
frequent reports come to hand of re-
sumption by concerns that have shut
down for some time past. Under the
circumstances employment is more
general, pay rolls are larger and more
money available for spending.
In nutshell trade is good, industry
Is active, outputs are close to normal,
and prospects are pleasant, the most
notable drawback being reduced
yields of cotton and a smaller than
earlier expected corn crop.
There is apparently little DISPOSE
ton among retailers to load up with
expensive goods, especially in sections
where cotton and corn have not main
tanned early promise. Wheat is NOV
ing to market, though the northwest
has not shipped as freely as expected.
The flour trade is looking up, full
time is more general and demand for
staple groceries is better.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending with Sep
TENDER were $50 against 201 last
week. 40 in the like week of 1908.
100 in 1907. 121 in 1906 and 1877 in
1905.
Wheat, including flour exports from
the United States and Canada for the
week ending September aggregate
3,1SS,641 bushels, against 2,934,543
last week and 5,396,026 this week last
year. For the nine weeks ending Sep
TENDER 2 exports are 17,216,s46 bush
els against 30,6S6,012 in the cor
responding period last year.
Corn exports for the week are IT,
939 bushels against 3S,6O3 last week

weeks ending September corn ex-
ports are 962,4S1 bushels against 474,-

When asked concerning the personal
habits of Mr.. Gregg Attorney Reed
said:
Dave was always a big strong fe'
low and he did not have any bad habits
to my knowledge. know that he does
not drink nor does he take drugs OF
any kind 1t is true that he has a
peculiar manner about him but when
man is down with the luck like Dave
he can hardly be blamed"
Some of the friends and acqua1nt-
ances Of Gregg believe that his late
sorrows and circumstances have I'M
balanced his mind and that he can rot
be blamed for what connection he has
taken with this kidnapping case. 1t has
been reported that plea OF insanity
Will be brought in his behalf.
1t is claimed that he not only held
the horses just before the flight but
that he called up TiIlotson from the
Charles Armstrong blacksmith shop
in North Topeka and told him that the
automobile had passed safely. His dt-
rect connections with the case will be
brought out later. County Attorney
Schenck believes that he has enough
evidence to place Gregg behind the bars
of the penftentiary.

"Chow grew faster than like and
soon became as one of the family and

a faithful friend to all of us.
HE would stand by the babe when
he was learning to walk and babe
would fasten his chubby hands in his
thick coat-pull himself to his feet

'When Tike started to school Chow
search the place-high and 1ow-and
refuse to be comforted until the boy
returned. He soon learned about the
school and would follow him to the
grounds and when school was out he
would meet the children on the street
ward when Sandy came, Chow took
charge of him. He was happy If he
could lie down by the bed or buggy
where Sandy was and afterwards he
helped teach Sandy to walk
Thursday evening he was at home
like and some neighbor boys had
grown tired of play and were lying on
the parking. Chow lay down in the
street to listen for GU rcoming and to
be near the boys. An auto came
around the corner and was upon him
before he could get out of the way.

went to the house and crawled upon
the porch. like followed him and he
poundde the porch with his tail to say

pounded his tail for him to tell him
he was not to blame.
Twenty minutes later we came
home and he was dead And so there
is mourning at our house and it is
hard for anv of us to be comforted.
He was our best friend-always honest
and faithful-and he Is gone"
