sibility most keenly. The evidence
indicated that a great syndicate is
trying to secure monopoly of this $
coal. in direct violation of the law
Ultimately I felt myself obliged to
appeal to you over the heads of my

about the enforcement of the law,
which. in q measure, would con-
serve these coal lands to the people
at large. / deem it my duty to SUBJ

Since there may be now even
greater danger that the title to
these coal lands viii be fraudulent

less my duty to my country TO make
public the facts in my possession.

COOK IN DREAD OF

NEW YORK, Sept 2o.-'Its good to

daylight and the actual return to his
native land.

Fire island. The ship marked time. as
1T were. so that there might be no hitch
in the home coming reception for the
explorer
Though six miles from the city proper
the Oscar II was in easy wireless COM
munication with New York during the
day and night Doctor Cook was on
deck almost constantly and as sunset
approached he watched the brilliant
panorama and .conversed with news
papermen with a brief hail in reply to
their greetings through a megaphone.
Cook Anxious to Land
Il feel anxious TO get ashore" he
said. Butt dread the ordeal of land
ing tomorrow. 1 would much prefer
landing quietly without repetition of
the scenes at Copenhagen. I hope that
1 shall be left in peace with my family
by tomorrow night at least"
Some New York papers were brought
on board this evening containing long
reports concerning Commander Peary.s
achievement Doctor Cook read them
carefully. then said:
There is nothing new here and /
shall wait until something more def
mite is published before saying anv-
thing further on the matter

JOY of his arrival at home.
Doctor Cook left the deck only few
minutes during the entire day and

Doctor Cook sent wireless dispatch
TO his wife. asking her to come down

greeting tomorrow. Mrs Cook was

The visit OF the president TO the state

was no mistaking the fact that Iowa

Apparently the Eo~ans. since Taft's

even to the president. for they received
him with only formal and decorous
applause. The chilly temperature was
felt perceptibly by the members of the
presidents party.
The president addressed a gathering
of $4,000 persons massed in the street
and on the terraces along one side OF
the capitol
For the most part he discussed the

As editor and prop. Of the Bing-

If YOU happen to learn Of any per-

the Boogle office and receive our heart
felt thanks?

The Leading Paper Of the County
Observation-Disclosures

There was hot argument down
to Hen Weathersby's store tother
ev'g betwixt Bob Perkins one of
Our most respeckted citizens who
has recently moved into our midst
from the co seat where he was also
a respeckted citizen before he come
to Bingville bringing his wife and
six children with him to see if he
couldn't support same in this town
in the manner to which they have
been accustomed at the county and
Zeke Winters, also of Bingville,
who TUX the contrary side of the
argument. Zeke allus takes the
contrary side of the argument to
what anybuddy else takes. Zeke is
so dognashion contrary that its a
wonder how he can get along with
his own thorts.
Bob had saw somers in a CITY
newspaper where President Taft
had went in big for a change in the
tariff and Bob said that in his opin-
ion he didn't think Taft ort to mon
key too much with the tariff; or
likely he would make things worse
than they be at present and bring
on another attackt of hard times.
Bob said that so fur as he could
see the tariff which we have has
did purity well and he thort Taft
ort to let well enuff alone. Bob
said that he thort all things con-
sidered Taft hadn't made as good
a President as Theodore Roosevelt
This was enuff for Zeke who spoke
right up sharp:
Huh" says Zeke, 81 calkilate
that if | had of had the chanst |
could of made a better President
myself single handed and alone
than Roosevelt made. Wot, ask,
did Roosevelt Go to help things any
when he was PRESIDENT" Bob
spunked up and told Zeke that
Roosevelt had throttled the trusts
and busted up monopolies and give
a death blow to race suicide and
revised the spellin book and form
ed the Ananias Club and kissed the
babies and done a lot more good
things too numerous to mentchion.
Then Zeke he lit into Roosevelt
hot and heavy and run him down
somethink awful. Zeke said that
when Roosevelt was President he
didn't get much else did but galli-
want around the country to see the
sights and spent his summers 1oafin
at Oyster Bay and when he got
through he lit out for Afriky to
shoot liuns and tigers and ely
funts and anything else that hap
Dened to come within gunshot.
