Hunting Parties Sent Out.

Hunting parties were sent out on
Sept. 10 and a bear was brought in
on the 12th and some deer a day or
two later"
Peary says many side trips were
made for the purpose OF exploring the
land, and frequent trips with supplies
were made to Cape Columbia, from
which Peary intended to depart on his
long run to the pole.
1t was Peary's plan TO send out ad-
vance parties to clear the way and es-
tablish stations. Captain Bartlett, of
the Roosevelt, was in command of the
first party to get away. This was on
March 1 of the present year. A short
time later a second division made it's
departure. and an hour after that
Peary followed. Continuing, he says:
"The party now comprised seven
members of the expedition, seventeen
Eskimos. 1873 dogs II nineteen
sledges. One Eskimo and seven dogs
had gone to pieces.
"A strong easterly wind, drifting
snow, and temperature in the minus
marked our departure from the camp
at Care Columbia, which | had chris
tened Crane City. Rough ice in the
first march damaged several sledges
and smashed TWO beyond repair, the
teams going back to Columbia for 9TH
err sledges in reserve there.

march we negotiated the lead and
reached Bartlett's third camp. Borup
had gone back from here. but missed
his way, owing to the faulting of the
trail by the movement of the ice.
Marvin came back also for more
fuel and alcohol The wind continued
forming open water all about us. A
the end of the fourth march we came
upon Bartlett, who had been stopped
by q wide lake of open water. We re

setting the usual course for Cape Sa-
bine. The weather was dirty, with
fresh southerly winds. We had on
board twenty-five Eskimos men, seven
teen women and ten children, 226 dogs
and some forty-odd walrus."
Peary tells of the difficulty in forcing
his ship, the Roosevelt, through the
choked channels and ho%e-covered bays
before he reached the open polar sea,
over which he was to travel to the goal
by sledge. Once he was forced back,
and twice the Roosevelt grounded. Con
tinuing, he says:
FINALLY, ON Sept. 2, we squeezed
around Cape Union and made fast in
q shallow niche in the ice, but after
some hours we made another short
run to Black Cape, and hung on to a
grounded bit of ice. At last, a little
after midnight of Sept. 5, we passed
through extremely heavy running ice
into a stream of open water, rounded
Cape Rawson and passed Cape Sheri-
dan. We steamed up to the end of 1t,
and it appeared practicable at first to
reach Porter bay, near Cape Joseph
Henley. But the outlook being unsat-
i~sfactory, | went back and put the
Roosevelt into the only opening in the
foe, being barred close to the mouth
Of the Sheridan river. a little north of
our position three years prior. The
work Of d~ischarging the ship was
commenced at once and rushed to
completion. The supplies and equip
ment we sledged across ice and sea
and deposited on shore. "A house and
workshop were built OF board, covered
with sails and fitted with stoves, and
the ship was snug for the winter in
shoal water, where she touched bot
tom at low tide. This settlement on
the stormy shores of the Arctic ocean
was christened Hubbardville.

A GREAT UPRoAR.

The merry war between the pres
ident and congress on the subject OF
the secret service has come to close
quarters. The previous exchanges
had been Chiefly firing In the air. but
now hostilities have come to close
quarters. II the senate and the house
desire particulars OF secret service
activities affecting some Of their
members they are in the way to get
them, and 1t may be that, in short,
they will be hollering for help to let
go of that bears tail.
In fact. the president has supplied
to Senator Hale certain detailed speci-
| flcations Of secret service work ar
fecting members of congress. Mr..
Hale Is carefully sitting on these
specifications for the present, but has
suffered a small matter to leak out
that concerns Senator Tillman. This
Is not particularly important, and
probably was selected by Senator
Hale as matter for safe publicity.
The other specifications are for the
present carefully guarded secret In
Mr.. Hale's custody.
Lest we forget the significance Of
this episode, says the Omaha Bee, IL
Is we'll to recall that the effervescent
wrath of congress WAS first set bub-
bling by a reference in the presi-
dents message to measure limit
ing secret service activities as one
designed Gin the interest of Grimm
ais" In the dispute that followed,
congress took the side Of the Grim
inals. II was monstrous that they
should be prosecuted by the atten.
lions of the secret service officials
When a thief is found 1cnouncing
the police, honest men know what
to think, and the position assumed
by congress was emphasized by a
remark In the presidents message
that possibly some congressman had
personal interest In limiting Sc
cret service work. Let him whom the
cap fits put it on.
The fact that two members of COZ
gress from Oregon were convicted of
felony through the efforts of secret
service men lends point to the intima-
tions of the presidents message. 1t
Will not be doubted that other con-
gressmen have been greatly annoyed
and perhaps embarrassed by official
prying into their private affairs. If
there are any other reasons for OBJ.
iecting to the use of means for de-
lection and prevention Of crime il Is,
up to congress to produce them. No
rogue e'er felt the halter draw with
good opinion of the law. That sen
timent is older than the presidents
message, but 1t seems to belong
there.

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.

One of the most gratifying features
OF the report submitted to congress-
by the Interstate Commerce commits
sion is the announcement that in the
railway accidents in 1908 is shown a
remarkable falling off Of casualties,
the death list having been decreased
from 40 In 1907 to 165 in 1908. The
number Of employees of roads Killed
In coupling accidents shows a reduc,
tion of 20 per cent.
There was a time. not long ago,
when the yearly railway death list
assumed the proportions Of casualty
reports from battlefield.
Attention is called to the necessity
OF legislation authorizing an investi
cation, under direction Of the com.

purpose of obtaining light on the
question OF preventive measures for

WHAT THE SOUTH THINKS.

The Atlanta Constitution presents a
Southern view of Theodore Roosevelt
which is complimentary. The Consti-
tuition is one Of the great papers of
the South. 1t says:
"The election of Mr.. Taft and the
absorbing interest in his prospective
national policies has somewhat mini.
mlzed in the public eye the present
occupant of the White House, whose
retirement therefrom Is but two
months of.
THE critics Of Mr.. Roosevelt, and
they are numerous and persistent,
have seized eagerly upon this fact,
which, as history shows. Is but ma
tural and logical condition, and are
delighting In the opportunity which 1t
affords them to label the retiring pres
ident already back number"
"But the truth Is, If one stops to
consider 1t. Mr. Roosevelt will prob
ably be much less OF a back number
than any president who has ever left
| the White House to return to private
life.
"The nation Is naturally interested
In what is going to happen to it and,
therefore, quite logically, In the man
who is going TO make things happen.
Mr. Roosevelt Is not at present viewed
as factor in those important future
events.
But to presume that he will not be
an important part and parcel OF the fl-
ture OF the United States argues ig-
norance Of conditions and denies the
force of human will and energy.

A STARTLING STATEMENT
New York Medical Authorities
Claim Dyspepsia Causes
Consumption.

The post mortem statistics of the
big New York hospitals show that
some cases of consumption are due to
unchecked dyspepsia, especially when
the victim was predisposed to tuber.
culosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and
brain, the weakened, irritable stom-
ach Is unable to digest food, the body
does not receive the required nourish-
ment. constipation ensues and the vic
tim becomes thin. weak and haggard.
AS a result, the body becomes fertile
field for the germs of disease to lodge
and flourish.
Therefore, the person who permits
dyspepsia to progress unhfndered Is
guilty of contributing toward the de-
velopment of one of the most inSidiouS
and fatal diseases known TO mankind.
Dyspepsia is curable if properly
treated. The T. H. Carr Drug Co sell
