DISBURSEMENT.

Omaha World Herald: For snme-
thing ike score Of years DR. Fred
erick A. Cook had been trying to
reach the north pole. 1t was the
dream of his life, the supreme ideal
toward which his Cropping FL gers
stretched.
Marvel of marvels, the dream came
true! Here was one man, one out of
ten million, who's widest hopes were
realized. The object of his quest. the
end of all his struggles, that on which
his mind had pondered and for which
his heart had longed during all the
years of his life. was given him. His
prize, literally. was at his feet.
And then?
Let DR.. Cook tell it. in his own
memorable words:
Although crazy with joy, our spirits
began to undergo q feeling Of weari-
ness. Next day, after taking all our
observations. sentiment Of intense
solitude penetrated Us while we looked
at the horizon. Was it possible that
this desolate region, without patch
of earth, had aroused the ambitions
Of so many men for SO many GEN.
turtles? There was no ground; only
an irnmensity of dazzling white snow :
no living being no point to break the
frightful monotony.
It is an infinitely pathetic speech.
II we picture the man who uttered ii
standing in the midst of his splendid
desolstion, prey to the sentiment
Of intense solitude" which the scene
brought upon him. we will have the
supreme symbol Of human life and itt
aspirations.
Other men have reached at last,
& some, other north pole toward which
some other millions of men were striv.
ing. They, too. when heaven hat
given them that which their spirit
craved. have known that feeling O
weariness'' and have asked themsel
yes: is it possible that this desc
late region has aroused the ambition
Of 30 many men for 90 many cen
turies?''
Yet. as long as humanity endure
I the search will continue, and the dis
illusion that comes Of realization vii
equal If it does not exceed in poignan
bitterness the woe that attends upo
disappointment and defeat.
But not for that will men cease
strive. For it is only the striving
whatever the end, and really regard
less Of the end. that makes life wort
while.

THE MOST UNKINDEST CUT

As newspaper man, the Review
editor has long been accustomed to
attacks and to revilements. Contemp-
tuous fortune has thrown bricks at
him many time and oft He has been
called nearly all the epithets that an
evil temper or q bad digestion could
devise and he thought he was sort of
case hardened and water. pruofed to
all forms of vituperation.
When man questions our veracity
we can come back at him at least
with "You're another But when

Nor in under the quad splitter there
what on earth is there to do about it?
The attack is incemprehensibl e,
quite so. We do not know whether
we are being libeled OF praised,
whether we should blush with shame
or with modest pleasure. What hid
den meaning, it any, turks within the
line we have been unable to ascer-
tain. Who is quad splitter and if
so, why? Did the quad split the

these questions naturally present
themselves to the seeker after truth
and even the Browning dictionary
fails to help us. Perhaps it is Latin

done with it? The lines appeal wiel
all the definite directness of merry

couplet:

WHO WILL LEAD DEMOCRACY!

Webster City Herald: While the
republicans party is agitating its
troubles and is having a little play Of
it's own as TO who will lead in 1912.
the greatest democratic hosts are also
thinking hard al to who will lead
them in that same 1912.
Mr.. Bryan has had three strikes and
is out. His opportunity is to go to
the United States Senate from Nebras-
ka, or stay upon the chautauqua plat
form and preach the Prince of Peace
to church people. who will go in great
numbers to hear him but will NOT vote
5pe him.

Armed with burglars dark Ian tern, someone who undoubtedly in tended to pilfer some of Christopher J. Lakes airship thoughts, went to Hippodrome park shortly after mid night yesterday. but was undoubtedly unaware that MT. Lake has a night watchman at his flying machine fac tory.
 The watchman saw the light shining into the windows on the south side of the grandstand where the workshop is located. Although the man with the lantern was a treSpaSSer upon the grounds the watchman did not dis turb him for sometime.

LANGFORD=KETCHELL FIGHT OFF BECAUSE HUGHES THREATENED
 CHARGES IF IT SHOULD OCCUR
Sheriff Tom Foley Notifies President Gibson that Club
 Will Be Raided If Fight Is Pulled OfLGibson Meets
 District Attorney Jerome and Announces that Auth . critics will Not Be Antagonized

New York, Sept i. -1e-Because o1 threats made by Sheriff Foley that he would raid the Fairmont Athletic Club if the Langford-Ketchell fight scheduled for tomorrow night were permitted to take place, and also be- cause District Attorney Jerome inti- mated that he would make the mat ter one for grand jury investigation, President William Gibson of the club announced at noon to-day that the fight was off.
 Both men were notified by him that the bout would not take place.
 Gov. Hughes was indirectly respon- sibIa for the action of the club. He notified all of the officials in New York that the fight must not take place and it is understood that there was also conveyed to the sheriff and Commissioner of police an intima tion that if the fight took place, charges would be preferred and their removal from office sought.

Can "Jim" Jacques
 Raise Liberty's Price
He Will Be Freed from Jail Saturday If He Can Pay $75.

Providing Jim Jacques can pay the fine of $75 which was imposed on him, besides a 4 months jail sentence in the criminal superior. court. last June, for keeping a disorderly house, he will be set at liberty Saturday night. If the fine is not paid he must serve 75 days longer.
 Alexander Watt, assistant jailer. said this morning that Jim was pretty we'll down at the heels" and that 1t was a question if he will be able to raise the fine money. Jim has not said anything about it to the jailer as yet.
 Jacques refused to talk. To MT. Watt he said that he intended to go up in the country and ''do the fairs" when he gets out. As the fair season will be over in couple of months 1t appears as if Jim expects to be re- leased Saturday night.
 There is considerable speculation as to what Jacques will do permanently. Some people doubt that he has really turned over his saloon to William Hart, the present proprietor. These people say that they still believe Jac- oues is backing Hart. There has been no confirmation of the report any such "gentIemen's agreement between the two.
 Axel Johnson, the detective, who had much to do with gaining the evidence which convi:ted Jacques, says that a clambake is to be given Jacques by his friends. In such a case Johnson says he may buy ticket.

 "Early to-day Sheriff Foley notified Gibson that the fight would be raided if put on, but to this Gibson replied by citing an injunction which Sthe club has, restraining the police from interfering with it's exhibition.
 Then Foley appealed to District At torney Jerome and the latter sent for Gibson. They held lengthy con ference and at it's close, Gibson an- nounced that he had no desire to an- tagonize the authorities and that, in asmuch as they did not believe the contest could be legally carried out, he had called it off. He made it plain, however, that he did so simply to prevent friction and not because he believed the fight would have been il- legal.
 Neither Sheriff Foley nor Police Commissioner Baker wanted to face charges before the governor where the latter would be both trial judge and prosecutor, while the politicians con- nected with the various clubs feared that if the fight took place, the gov ernor would put an end to the boxing game in the entire state.

NORWALK GIRLS
 SEEK WORK WHILE
 POLICE SEEK THEM

Eager to be independent and to get away from home restraints two pert young misses from South Norwalk, one of them being Lillian Anderson, 15 years old, appeared at the Allen Elm ployment bureau. at 966 Main street, yesterday morning and told MT. Allen that they had read of the lack of help in this city and they had come looking for work In their eagernesS to get away from mothers apron strings they forgot to take more money than was necessary to pay car fare.
 When MT. Allen asked for the GUS tomary dollar for the registration fee they looked blank and replied that they had no money. They were told that since they had no money they shouldn't have come around.
 MT. Allen reported the matter to Detective Fox. After a few hours Fox met a South Norwalk policeman ac- companied by Mrs. Anderson. Lillian's mother. The policeman had a warrant. charging her with incorrigibility.

 Centerbrook,, Sept. 16.-A gang of burglars terrified the lower Connecti- cut Valley early to-day broke into five railroad stations beginning at Ar holds and winding up with a sensa- tional attempt to blow the safe in the general store and postoffice of w. J. Prapn at Centerbrook. Here they were discovered by the proprietor and af- ter firing three, shots at him. one of which narrowly missesd his head, they made their escape, without securing any booty.
 It is believed that the burglars travelled from one town to the other in stolen team and Deputy Sheriff Davis, with a number of assistants, is conducting thorough search through the valley in an effort to To- cate the place from which the horses are believed to have been taken. The authorities in the surrounding towns have all been notified, but no clues have been discovered as yet and 1t is not even known how many were in the band. The amount of booty se- cured only amounted to small sums which the thieves took from the tele- phone booths of the railroad stations.
 The first trace of the thieves was found at Arnold's, where the station was entered, the telephone booth bro ken open and all wires cut.
