RrLL BARLEYCORN WILL
BE FEATURE OF FAIR.
Fast PAGER to be Here for the Races
Next Week.

The fair management has succeed
ed in getting Bill Barleycorn. the
famous PAGER, for the races at the
fair. The Topeka Journal tells OF
his performance at the state fair:
"For the first time since the open
ing Of the state fair races at the fair
grounds, the running races failed to
secure their usual top headline. Yes
terday track record was equalled
and it so enthused the crowd that
the running races were a side show.
"Bill Barleycorn, one Of the pref
test geldings who ever appeared on
the local track, owned by s. G. Friend
of Randall, Kan, succeeded with
very little trouble in equalling the
track record for a 2:09 pace, making
1t in 2:091s. This record was made
last September by Baron X. BIZ
came under the wire with his head
rared back and his driver slowing
him down. From a grandstand point
of view Bill could have smashed the
record If his driver had allowed him
to loosen up his limbs.
1.-THE record happened in the third
heat of the "nine"race. The time
for the first two heats had lowered
around the eleven mark and no one
expected any better than twelve Tor
the final. But as soon as the horses
started out there was something ex-
pected. Don, another pretty gelding
owned by H. W. Brown of Parsons
Kan, had been taking second honors
through the two heats and when the
third Ego" was yelled to the horse
men Don sprung up and made a
frantic effort for lead. This is what
caused the fast time to be made ana
the track record equalled. Barley
corn saw in his rival a fast set OF
legs and stretching out his graceful
form he responded to the encourage
meut of his driver"

Prof. Mcmillan Tells Of Adventures
With Peary.
WHILE IN THE FROZEN NORTH
Found Supplies Left BY Greeley Ex
pedItlen In 1881 and House
Built by Hall In
1871

Sydney, @. B., Sept 20.-Little new
light was thrown on the controversy
over the discovery Of the North Pole
on the arrival Of the steamer Tyrian
from Battle Harbor, where the CORE
spondents learned from two members
of commander Peary's expedition that
Dr.. Frederick A. Cook had met them
at Etah and had mentioned nothing Of
discovering the pole.
The story of Prof. Mcmillan OF his
finding Of the relics and stores Of
earlier expeditions was fraught with
interest. On a trip to the westward
from the winter quarters at Cape
Sheridan to make observations Prof.
Mcmillan came upon some supplies at
Fort Conger which had been left there
by the Greeley expedition In 1SS1-S4.
There were coffee. teal canned po-
tatoes and rhubarb and tried them
all. 1t seemed strange to think that
II out Of that party Of rs had died oil
starvation after they had left these
provisions behind. They had to 80
back under orders and failed 10 hnd
the relief ship at Cape Sabine.
Il also found a trunk Of Col. DAVID
L. Brainard and 4 scientific book be
longing to Lieut.. Frederick Kislins'
bury from his son, Hardy Kislingbury'
There was also temperature book In
pcribed To Lieut. Kislingbury, from
his old friend and well wisher, George
W. Clarke, Detroit, Mich There
were also uniforms Of Gen. Greeley
which wore and a book in which
George W. Rice, photographer Of the
party had placed some plates. Near
BIZ was q sheet Of paper on which
were some notes addressed 10 the
chairman Of some banquet which had
been held BY the party in the Arctic
There were other relics such as Wateh

HERE'S A TRAvELoGUE.
II Would Make a Good Theme for o
Story.

Sometimes things go wrong ana
when they do the whole works seems
hooded. That is what an Abilene
woman thought when she started Tor
Ohio last week with her two small
children. The train was late here,
likewise it was filled to standing
room but she finally did secure one
seat in the Pullman. 1t was later
I'm Kansas City and her though ticket
and pullman ticket must be changed
That took about three hours In the
crowded union depot and the children
were tired. Finally there was rush
for train and she got aboard just
as the train pulled out, her friends
handing up her suit case. She start
ed putting the children to bed and
discovered that the suit case was
not hers. So she and the children
silent in their clothes-as there was
nothing wearable in the suitcase. the
train was late and 1t was noon De-
fore she reached Chicago. Then sne
went out and bought some clothes
for the children and finally got
aboard a train for her destination
az course 1t came out all right in the
end but every woman knows it was
no fun while it lasted.

ALASKA COAL CASE
YET TO Be SETTLED
Thorough Far Reaching Investigation
to be Made.
SIX BILLION TONS IN SIGHT
Special Agents Are to Be Sent y
Alaska to Examine Records In
Land Office
There.

Seattle, Sept. 1S.-The ruling o.
President Taft in the Ballinger-Glayi'
controversy does not change the TITLE
to the vast coal areas near Katalla
In Alaska, claimed by several syndi
Gates including the Cunningham com
bination with headquarters in Seattle
The geologist in charge Of the United
states survey Of Alaska said recently
that 100000, 900 tons Of coal was In
sight in Alaska with the country only
partially explored. This coal Is su
perior 10 any found elsewhere In
North America except In Pennsyl
yania. Estimates Of the value OF the
coal lands claimed by the syndicatei
vary from $4,000, 900 to $1,000. oOO, 900
The record in the Cunningham coal
cases shows that the claimants have
supplied the interior department with
alleged proofs Of the regularity oil
their proceedings and are awaiting .
ruling. It is stated, however, that
there will be no immediate decision
on the question, but that under orders
from the president q more thorough
and far.reaching investigation will be
made Of the coal land cases than eVeI
before.
For this purpose two special agents
whose names are not known here, will
be assigned to thoroughly examine the
records in the land ONCE In Alaska
where are on Gle all papers In the
Cunningham coal cases as well a. u
other cases involving valuable Goa
lands near BerinE Lake, Alaska.
It Is believed probably that during
the visit Of President TAFT apd secTe
tory Ballinger there will be 10 Seattle
hearing on the coal lands cOntrO
versy.
The Cunningham claimants have 70
tanned lawyers to prepare their side O
the case for submission to the land OF
Zee oaiclals and 70 the secretary o.
The interior, the court Of last resort.

Upon that 1 had an insur- aoce policy of $5,000. My sales DooE showed that 1 had sold $1200 worth of that stock, and I sub mltled the adjusters an inventory o' the goods out of the stock re. nmalnng l had transferred to my morley avenue store La Barata) ShIch was deducted also from the ;oce value of the policy.
