Allow no conversation at the table
adverse to the quality Of the food set
before you, especially rs to its sup
posed indlgestibIllty.
Talk hopefully TO the chronic invalid
for his sake and for your own sake
when you leave him. Thank God that
you are immune from his diseases.
Think health and talk health on all
suitable occasions. remembering that
under the law of suggestion health
may be made contagious as well as
disease.
Finally meet the nrst symptom Of

Cook Stands by Promise

New York, Oct. Cook has refus-
ed to submit his records and instru-
ments to a committee of scientists Sc
lectad by the president of Johns Hop
kins university for judgement. In his
reply to a request for such submission,
Cook says:
I'm bordering over the problems
which you were kind enough to pre-
sent at your visit yesterday, it appears
to be an injustice to the Danes to con-
sent to appointment of the board of
examiners after I had definitely
agreed to submit my material first to
the University of Copenhagen.
therefore ask your indulgence for a
few months, and following the Danish
investigation. the records will be sent
to all the geographical societies in the
world, after which it becomes public
property. I appreciate the good Offices
of the American Geographical SO
ciety, and its fair and friendly atti-
tude and promise they will have an
early opportunity to go over the entire
data of my polar conquest"

the Cook controversy, except to say
the Peary Arctic club, would make a
public statement next week.
Peary had scarcely headed his three
masted auxiliary schooner up the
river, when the marine demonstration
began. Passing long and imposing
file of foreign and American battle
ships the North Pole Flag" was
kept constantly bobbing in answer to
the dipping colors of the war vessels.
Crowds on passing excursion boats,
which easily left the Roosevelt astern,
cheered and played patriotic airs.

marine procession waved handker-
chiefs and fired cannons as the

Commodore Morgan barred his head
until the Arctic ship had passed, and
Peary waved his cap in recognition.
There was sharp contrast between
the trim, lordly yacht and the bluff
Roosevelt, but both flew the burgee OF

put ashore at Fishkill landing, where
he took train for New York.
Summed up, the Roosevelt's trip up
the river. instead of being one of the
features of the Hudson Fulton naval

VICTOR MUST DIE
Murderer of the Christie Family Sem
fenced to Hang Nov. l6

Aberdeen, S. D., Sept. 3U.-Emil Vic
tor, self-confessed quadruple murder
er, was today sentenced to be hanged
in the Brown county courtyard Tues
day, November 16, for the murder of
1S-year-old Mildred Christie on the
morning of July g.
The motion of the defense to post
pone the sentencing of the prisoner
secure transcript of the evidence on
which to base an appeal to the supreme
court was opposed by the state and de-
MED by the court.
Victor's crime was one of the most
fiendish in the history of South Da-
kota He murdered John w Christie,
a farmer living near Rudolph, eight
miles from Aberdeen, his wife, their
daughter Mildred and Michael Ron
ayne, young man employed by Chris
tie
On July II Victor made a written
and signed confession to States Attor-
ney Van Slyke, acknowledging The
murder of four persons at the Chris
tie farm, claiming his motive was rob-
berry and that he had not intended
murder, but the unexpected appearance
OF the Ronayne boy after he had
knocked down old man Christie COM
PEELED him to kill to avoid appre-
hension. AAe swore that after killing
the Ronayne boy and her parents, Mil
dred Christie, aroused by the shooting
rushed from her bedroom, clad in her
night gown, They struggled until the
girl was exhausted, when she sat
down on the bed, exclaiming: you
have killed papa and mamma; you
might as well kill me, too.'' Her night
dress had been torn from her body
in the struggle Sitting down beside
her on the bed, Victor. reloaded his
revolver while the girl awaited her
exeeutioner, and then he shot her
through the head. This confession the
state succeeded in introducing as evil
dence.

WHEAT T. AT Sl.20
BOARD OF TRADE SEES CORNER
IN CLOSING SEPTEMBER
DEAL.
BEST CORNER IN YEARS,
No Colossal Winnings, but Sports are
Hard Hit-came as a Complete
Surprise to
Traders.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-The wheat
squeeze" which disturbed the ennui
of speculative routine with 14-cent
advance in the September option on
the board of trade here lacked none
of the features of former years when
"Old Hutch" Cudahy, Partridge and
others were wont to explode bomb
shelss unders the trade.
1t was the cleanest cut of any cor
ner in many years. The so-called Pat
ten deal of last spring was an open
secret long before final delivery day,
but what happened this time came out
OF clear sky. September wheat had
been tagging toward the end with ev-
cry evidence of ebbing vitality.
For month there had been practic-
ally nothing doing in the option. An
occasional ignored bid at or slightly
above the market price infrequently
developed traces of nervousness in the
tone" but the general tranquility
was undisturbed. September closed
Wednesday at $1.O6 and sluggishly
slept slightly above that figure.
In vague sort of way there was
known to be short interest out but
that some particular individual or
clique had secured control of the long,
side was undreamed Of by all not in
the deal.
The trader or traders in control
held about 100000 bushels, while the
scattered short interest ran between,
five and ten millions, according to the
average expert guess on the subject
in the absence Of actual figures. In
volume this does not begin to compare
with some deals which board of trade
history reveals, but in compact eff
cheney it is said to be the peer of any.
No colossal winnings or losses are
involved, although some of the weaker
shorts were hard hit when "shoe
string resources are considered. The
efforts of some of these to extricatei
themselves during the last frenzied
half hour were described by specta-
tor as pitiful.

Why Whitney Left Stuff

New York. Sept 29.-Whitney tele-
graphed the Associated Press as fol-
lows in reply to many questions from
newspapers:
My reasons for not returning to
Etah after Cooks things were that
the Jeanie's engines were not work
ing satisfactorily, and we were depend
ing partly on sails, which later we had
to do entirely; also, not knowing that
Cooks things were of such Importance.
In addition, Lad promised the EsSi-
mos who were with me at Eilsmere
Land, certain things which they ex-
pected; but they were not aboard the
jeanne and l did not want to return
and disappoint these men.
II do not believe Cook or Peary, in
my position, would, having started
south for civilization, have turned
back.
"Peary knew absolutely nothing
about what was left with me by Cook,
except the things mentioned. Cocks
belongings were nailed in boxes and
the Eskimos covered them with rocks.
mo one could have shown me more
consideration than Peary did while I
was on the Roosevelt He said he
would be very glad to have me return
with him instead of joining the
Jeanie' -
st. Johns. Sept. 29.--Members of the
crew of the schooner jeanne said to-
night that when Whitney learned Of
the polar controversy, he engaged
Captain Bartlett and his vessel to 60
up next year to recover Cooks belong
ings at Etah,
Peary denied tonight that he had
sent any kilograms to Whitney com
planning that Whitney had not told
him fully what was contained in
Cooks belongings at Etah.

told Whitney he had accomplished
more than he had expected to. Whit
ney did not communicate to Peary all
Cook told him. Cook complained of
Peary's having taken over his house
and stores, but declared he had suffer
ed no unfairness Peary's steward,
Pritchard, was present when thes 9
statements were made. Murphy,
Peary's boatswain, had written instruc-
tions from Peary which Whitney, at
Peary's request, read over to Murphy
from time to time. They directed Muir
ply to use Cooks stores first and
Peary's afterwards; also that If Cook
returned he was to be given every
help.
When Cook and his Eskimo arrived
at AnnatOk they had no sledges, hav-
ing left them twenty miles out. The
next day a sledge was recovered. i.
contained Cooks scientific instrum ants,
food and clothes At Cooks request
Whitney took charge of these instru-
ments when Cook left for home. Whit
ney says Cook left no written recordl
that he knows of. Whitney says that
when Peary reached Annotok he told
him Cook said he had gone beyond
Peary's farthest north, but Peary made
no comment. Next day Cooks Eskimos
came to him and asked what Peary's
men were trying to get them to say.
Peary's men had shown them maps,
but the Eskimos declared they did not
understand these pape"s. AS far as
Whitney is aware, Cooks Eskimos
never admitted they and Cook had only
progressed two Sleeps" from the land.
Whitney said he told Peary Cook In
trusted to him certain belongings to
bring home. Peary declined, Whitney
says, to permit Cooks belongings to
be brought aboard the Roosevelt Whit
ney thereupon went ashore, and with
the assistance of Capt. Bartlett, COM
mander Of the Roosevelt, separated
Cooks property from his own baggage,
repacked them in boxes and left them
ashore
: Whitney, in expressing his belief
that Cook found the pole and that
Peary did the same, said he knew no
reason for doubling Cook any more
than Peary.
"Dr. Cooks story" he added Seems
truthful and probable. Nothing else
would explain his twelve months alb
sence,"
Whitney said Cook left with him at
Annotok several cases containing in
struments and other belongings but
so far as Whitney knew, no records,
though records may have been packed
with Cooks effects.
Whitney declared he knew nothing
of the present controversy beyond the
vaguest details. He denied that peary
removed Cooks stores from Annotok
to Etah. What Peary really did was
to transfer a few things and rebuild
the house at Annotok.
