Skeptical Parties Are Advised to Dig for Brass Tube Planted at Geogra- phica Pole.

Skagen.-As the steamer Hans Egede passed by here an Associated Press correspondent boarded the yes sci and interviewed Dr. Cook. To him the explorer told the story of his journey to the pole and declared that he could furnish proofs. He stated that he had anticipated doubts, and that as he was sitting at the pole he could not help smiling at the people who on his return would call the whole expedition a humbug

 The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, is unparalleled. It may be used with perfect confidence by women who suffer from displacements, iniam- nation, alteration, fibroid tumors, ir- regularities, periodic pains, backache, bearing-down feeling, fiatulency, indi- gestion, dizziness, or nervous prostra- tion.
 For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been the standard remedy for female ills, and suffering women owe it to themselves to at least give this medicine a trial. Proof is abundant that it has cured thousands of others, and why should it not cure you?

MOSQUITOES KILL CATTLE
Continual Warfare Waged by Inhab. itants of Cheniere au
 Tigre.

3. NJ. Foster and T A. Dees re- turned home from Cheniere au Tigre. eu island south of AbbeviIle. a Hous- ton Posts Lake Charles Ga) corre- spondent says. Great myriads of large mosquitoes caused the party to return home at once. MT Foster is authority for the statement that many head of cattle are being killed by the pests and that the people oi the island would suffer like fate if they ventured out. Day and night the inhabitants are compelled to fight constantly against the little pests and what small farm work is done on the island has been sadly neglected.
 NIT. Foster says that the cattle on the island can usually be found in herds of about loo each, but the mos Quitoes have caused the animals to flock together for protection. and he saw one big herd with fully 10000 ami mals punched and believing with pain. The cattle, he says, keep nov ins to the windward to keep the pests off as much as possible. Occasionally one will become exhausted and fall be- hind. or a COW will stop to help it's calf, only to meet Q hasty death. Some animals MT Foster saw have actually been smothered to death by the great swarms of mosquitoes.
 No one who has not witnessed conditions on the island is able to form any idea of what the people and stock have suffered" concluded MT. Foster.

ARKANSAS IS "DELIGHTED."
Prominent Citizen of Little Rock Ac- companied Successful Explorer on Former Expedition.

Little Rock-The capital city of Arkansas takes particular delight in the brilliant achievement of Dr. Fred erick A Cook, the intrepid American explorer, who planted the Stars and Stripes at the north pole on April 21, 1908.
 John R. Fordyce of Little Rock, son of Col s. ". Fordyce, the St. Louis capitalist, accompanied Dr. Cook upon one of his Arctic exploring expedi- tions in 1894.
 Even then Dr. Cook was fired with an ambition to reach the pole" said Mr Fordyce in discussing the report, "and 1 am personally glad that he appears to have succeeded where so many others have failed and has raised the flag of the United States on the coveted pole"
 Mr. Fordyce gave an interesting ac- count of the Cook Arctic expedition of 1894, of which he was a member, Illustrating it with nearly 200 kodak pictures taken by him during the trip and preserved as the most cherished relic of an ill-fated voyage.
 It was in the summer of 1894, when young Fordyce, then p years old, was student at Yale. Two years before Dr. Cook had returned from the north as the surgeon of the Peary expedi- ton of 1S91-2 Peary was still in the north, and a relief expedition was be-

 The expenses of fitting up the boat, which was named for it's owner, and the outfit amounted to about $8,000. Bradley stood most of this sum and Cook spent all he could find on an outfit of scientific instruments and provisions against the possible oyer- land trip across the ice.

man will lose heavily as a result of
the incident.
The governor is a candidate for re.
nomination and reelection and Mayor
James C. Dahlman of Omaha is also
a democratic candidate for the same
place. Already the Shallenberger
democrats are commencing to make
capital out of the fact that the gov
ernor was not invited to break bread
with the Omaha bunch and at the
same time they are placing the blame
at the door of Mayor Dahlman, thus
seeking to create sentiment against
him.
Already the news of the action OF
the Omaha people has reached Furnas
county, and it has been an important
factor in the democratic convention
that has just been held. At that con,
vention the following resolutions were
introduced and adopted by a unani

nation.
Omaha democrats who are against
Dahlman and for either Shallenberger
or Lobeck, say that this action of the
Furnas county democrats is but the
start of what is to come. The most
of the county conventions are to be
held during the next two weeks, and
they predict that in a majority of the
counties strong resolutions will be
adopted. They add that the work is
being prosecuted and that when the
conventions are held, in more than
half of them, enough strength will be
developed to denounce Dahlman and
endorse either Shallenberger or Lo-
beck. AS they now figure results,
Dahlman will land as about third man
in the race.
Already Dahlman sees the handwrt.
ing, and is hurrying his lieutenants out
into the state to repair the breaks in
his political fences. One Of the first
places where Dahlman will try to
stem the tide is in Lancaster county.
In Lincoln a movement that looks to
