EXPLORER COOK
LOST TO PUBLIC
PoLE-FlNDER DROPS OUT OF
SIGHT COMPLETELY
Condition of Arctic Hero's Health SUBJ

Friend
ASSOCIATED Pressl

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Dr. Frederick
A. Cook dropped completely from pub
lie view today. Not even John r.
Bradley, whose money was behind his
polar expeditions, knows where he is
tonight
Confding his secret to only one man
and perhaps his wife, the explorer
slipped quietly and mysteriously away,
leaving behind him a string of puzzled
and exasperated friends and a debate
more acrimonious than that which fo,-
lowed his announcement of September
last that he had discovered the north
pole on April 21, 1908.
Charles Wake, an insurance man,
appears to be the only one who knows
the mystery of DIR. Cooks where
abouts. And Wake is firm in his re-
solve to keep his lips sealed until Cook
himself sees fit to take the public into
his confidence.
In the meantime concern is expressed
over the condition of DR.. Cooks health.
Although some of his friends main
tain he has borne up well under the
continued strain of lecturing and pre-
pairing his data, an intimate associate
of the doctor said tonight DR.. Cook APP
peared to be on the verge of nervous
breakdown when he conferred with him
Monday night.
Friends Statement
This friend, who is newspaper man,
issued a statement tonight quoting DR..
Cook as saying:
''If this thing keeps up few months
longer, will be in the insane asylum.
This Is the statement in part;
"On Monday night l called at the
Gramatan inn and conferred with DR..
Cook. He was in an extremely nervous
condition, and l was convinced unless
he took long needed rest he might
suffer nervous breakdown.
"He told me he had been advised to
go abroad in order to be within easy
reach of the University of Copenhagen
If his presence were required and at
the same time to get a much needed
rest
.'Dr. Cook has taken me into his con-
fidence and / have been permitted to
examine his original data, and despite
all the ehargesI have absolute conf
idence in his integrity. l feel conf
dent, as does DR., Cook himself, that the
decision of the University of Copen-
hagen will be favorable.
"All this talk of a conspiracy to rob
DR.. Cook of his records is silly, all
though regret to say that some of

May MAKE coNvIcTs WORK

County boards may now if they see
fit, provide course in rock breaking
for convicts in the county JAIL A re-
cent law gives power to put such con-
victs to breaking rock for use on the
highways.
To require convicts in county jails to
work is startling doctrine to some peo-
pie we know of, but it seems to us the
dictate of common sense and justice.
Why should honest people be taxed to
support convicted criminals IN idleness?
Moreover, as criminals are sentenced to
jail as a punishment for their crimes,
the efficacy of the punishment is in
creased by requiring them to work.
Under existing conditions in Rusk
County, for example, term in Jail is
picnic to the average petty criminal.
He enjoys the best of food, far too
good for convict, and has nothing to
do but to eat, drink and sleep. Convicts
should rightfully be fed on wholesome,
but very plain food, and should be made
to work, and work hard. -Glen Flora
Star.

TO RUSK COUNTY FARMER BOYS

AS we have been talking of steers
and their value when they become oxen,
will inform you that the Menasha
Wooden Ware people bought, a few
days since, two pairs, Tor two yokes,
as it is customary to say for one OF
which they paid $3.50, the team weighed
$3.50 lbs. The other yoke was lighter.
cheaper, and suited them better. A
team weighing $3.50 is likely to be too
slow and yet they sometimes bring
more money because they are fat
enough to bring big price for beef.
You should understand that $3.50 is
more than you can calculate on.
Now let us suppose that you bought
that young bull calf last week for SIS
on three months time. Of course SIS
looks pretty big to you, but if should
tell you that you were not smart enough
to earn that amount Of money, on the
side, or go to Jail at the end of that
time, what would you say? Your reply
would be, II will show you" Bust
ness men are often subject to as diff
cult propositions, but not so disgrace
full ones, You will have to attend to
your usual duties OH the farm and
sufficiently hard to gain time enough,
to work out or make cord wood or
poverty wood, to satisfy your contract
and interest on the same. You should
have the interest figured before yon go
to pay up, so as to know how much
money you need, so you will not be sub
ject to an over-charge. But in case
there should, after all your caution, be
mistake in your favor, go back as
soon as convenient and pay the differ
ence, and notice later on how you en-
joy your sleep and how agreeable your
thoughts are.
Now it will depend largely on the age
and condition of your calf, as to what
you will need to feed him. If he is
sufficiently old to eat grass, that can
be his main ration. | have seen calves
raised mainly by boiling hay and feed
ing them the water. One egg a day
or tablespoonful of corn meal or oil
cake with skim milk will make a calf
prosper, but feed corn meal with care.
| was being very good to pig at one
time, feeding corn meal, and Mr.. Pig
turned wrong side out and died. If
you are such boy as I think you are,
you will find vast amount of sympa-
thy springing up between you and
Mother and Father and this calf. The
parents will rejoice in your effort to do
something and be somebody, all of
which will grow into and develop
feeling of reciprocity, which in plain
words means, you help me and | will
help you. R. o. SINCLAIR,
President, State Bank of Ladysmith.

tariff is still fresh in memory, while in
the Senate some of the tariff for reve-
nue. theory and have consistently fol-
lowed it while others have come out
frankly for the policy of preserva-
ton.
If the differences that have arisen
related merely to the tariff, there
would be little need to consider them,
but they extend to other things. In
the House large number of the Re-
publican membere are bucking against
the rules and against the whole Cannon
organization. They want an over
hauling of things and are bent on fight
ing till they get it, not merely in fight
ing in the house but on carrying the
controversy to the country.
In many Congressional district
next year, contests for nomination of
Republican candidates will be waged
on Cannon and anti-Cannon lines. In
numerous districts there will be the
same sort of contest between radicals
and conservatives.
Next winter the Senate and House
will witness a great struggle over cor
poration questions in which there will
be divisions as special session. lnsur-
gent Republicans and Democrats will
be found gravitating together in an
effort to overcome the conservative Re
publican element, with the conserva-
tives trying to block the plans for
drastic control and regulation or cor
porations and railroads which the other
side will propose and push.
Through the Senate debate on the
tariff bill there has run a note of ap-
prehension among the Republicans
that grave consequences to the Re-
publican party would follow the break
between to factions over the tariff.
About the cloakrooms this talk is much
more outspoken and pronounced than
on the floor. Beyond doubt, far-seeing
Republican politicians view the situa-
ton with dlsqu1etude. Ihey are openly
asking themselves whether this is the
beginning Of the breakup of the par
ties as now constituted and whether
there is going to be reforming of
party lines before there can be once
more resumption of settled party
conditions. 1t has become clear to
nearly everyone that the tariff issue is
no longer one that can be made to con-
stitute the dividing line between the
parties. Corporation control, railroad
control, and in general the attitude
towards capital and great capitalistic
interests to be taken by the Govern
ment is not an issue between the two
parties as now constituted, but an issue
that divides both of them.

although their grandfathers bit on the
same games century ago. The con-
cessions committee of the late Fire
mems Tournament was offered $500 per
day by man in Indiana for the privi-
lege of running four little games. "
He was promptly refused. A bunch OF
unsavory crooks who landed here the
day before the Tournament opened,
with various paraphernalia, were
quietly rounded up by our officers and
put on the first outgoing train. This
so-called gambling is the cause of
nine-t enths of the trouble which occurs
at such gatherings, and its absence
from our Tournament was undoubtedly
responsible for the noticeable absence
of any trouble.

Superior has 157 applications for
saloon license the coming year. The
question is: is the city richer or poorer
by reason of getting that $78, 500
license money? Who pays the freight?
If the bulk of it comes from trans
clients, then there might be some argu-
ment in favor of the saloon. If the
bulk of it comes out of the working
mans wages, then the saloon is simply
getting what would otherwise go to
other lines of trade. There is no other
way to figure it.
