Tho Errina Cook.

New AOlh Evening Sun.
Mrs. Mary p. Eptinger is a one-iegged
widow woman who came from England
on the Ivernia n day or two ago to act
as cook for Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy,
the head OF the Christian Science Church.
She has been detained by the immigra-
ton officials lest she become a public
charge, since they are not convinced that
a one-legged woman can earn her living
in this country, even though she was en-
gagged to cook In family whose financial
resources are not doubted. It is said that
the one-legged cook had been employed
by several noblemen's families. In Eng
land. who recommended her, one-legged
as she was, to Mrs. Eddy 1t seems unfor-
tunate to have this question of physical
deficiency raised before she got into Mrs.
Eddy's kitchen, 70 rthere. OF course, it
would not count, since physical traits are
non-existent in that fortunate enclosure
Can it be that any envious two-legged
cooks have laid information against their
"erring" sister?

COOKS REWARD IN MONEY.

nV FREDERICK A. COOK must be queer
~ sort Of man if the financial reward that
followed his claim TO be the discoverer of the
North Pole compensates him for the damage to
his reputation caused by his failure TO convince
the Danes that his claim was good.
According to the best calculations the an
nouncennent of Dr. Cook that he had located the
pole and the honors followed by the sympathy
bestowed upon him during the early stage of the
controversy have netted him more than $780,
ooo The alleged exploit proved a vertable gold
mine for the doctor; he was the best advertised
man in the world for several months.
lie lost no time in taking advantage OF the
advertising as his first figures for lecture were
$4,000 which however, the St. Louis business
men-and they are in Mssouri-declined to pay.
The doctor received $4,000 for two lectures in
that city. A New York newspaper is said TO
have paid him $1,000 for his first exclusive story
and it is said that for the serial story in the
Herald and in other papers he received $4,000
His thirty lectures all told are said to have
brought to Cook $4,000 each. ana many figure
that altogether he must have received $4,000.
1t is unlikely, however, that any other sex
plorer" will be able to turn his exploits or alleged
exploits to financial gain so great We think the
people have had their appetite for that sort Of
thing satisfied for some years at least
The financial damage Cook inflicted on Pearv
must also be large. Had Cook not appeared lust
ahead of Peary the latter would have reaped
harvest of golden coin from lectures and writ
ings.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY QUARTERS.

a HISTORICAL building is an appropriate
n place for the meetings of a historical So
cety. The proper repository of historical pa
pers, manuscripts and documents is the modern
city library. Such library has the physical
and clerical equipment to preserve classify, in
deX and catalogue historical papers. In no 9TH
or way are they safe or available. No historical
society should have valuable historical docu-
ments unless like the Pennsylvania Historical
Society it has full library equipment
The Delaware Historical Society for the pres
ent is ftly housed in building one hundred and
seventy years old, with many historical associa-
tions. If the old church were restored, inside
and out it would add greatly to the beauty,
significance and convenience OF the place. 1t
would be sufficiently well-adapted for the meet
ings of the society and could be made reason
ably safe for the relics, pictures, flags and 9TH
er historical things of pictorial character that
would decorate and dignity the building.
The ultimate goal of the Historical Society
should be the Wilmington City Hall A build
ing adapted to the town of 1877 is not adapted 70
the city of 1910. The city government must
find other quarters sooner or later When that
time comes the old Town Hall should be saved
in Wilmington as Independence Hall and Car
penters' Hall, in Philadelphia. In the early days
the Federal Court sat there. For more than half
a century the town meetings and political meet
ings were held there. In the future filter
place could be found for the permanent home OF

A little less than a generation ago cotton seed
oil was regarded as worthless, but to-day this
by-product of the South's cotton crop enhances
the value of that crop by ten millions of dol
lars annualy-becoming a second Sussex coun-
~ berry crop-from the pecuniary point of
view. And there is probability that the value
OF the cotton seed oil will be still further in
creased. Chemists and authorities on diatectics
are dispelling the notion that cotton seed oil is
not wholesome. 1t can be used for all pur-
poses for which olive oil is employed, and cot
ton seed serves every purpose as lard for which
the hog product is used. We should think that
it is much more wholesome. 1t is said that six
Norwegian firms that pack FISH have decided to
use cotton seed oil as a substitute for olive oil
in packing sardines, and this will probably mean
a much more extensive use OF the oil, more mon

SPLENDID WORK OF AN OFFICIAL.

SPLENDID WORK OF AN OFFICIAL.
GOUNTY Treasurer Robert M. Burns has
~ made fine Christmas present to the peo-
pie of New Castle county in the form of a rec
ord Of having performed the duties of his Of
flee with extraordinary zeal. Mr.. Burns an
nounoed to the Levy Court that he had succeeded
in settling his accounts in full for the year 1905
within four years, and this has been accomplish
ed because the office force took the field and
gathered in the delinquent taxes by means of a
house to house canvass, getting the money due,
in some instances. in installments. No sales of
properties have been necessary, and it is all due
TO the splendid and willing work of the office
force.
Mr. Burns points to the fact that so far as
he knows this is the first time in the history of
the county tax Office that a collector has settled
in full within four years.
The work of the office OF Mr. Burns is a shin
ing example of duty faithfully performed--a will
lingness on the part of county employees to do
work which was not strictly required of them.
We congratulate Mr. Burns and the men em-
ployed by him and are sure that their efforts are
fully appreciated by those who have the inter
ests of he county at heart.

ALBION PIONEER DEAD.
Mrs. W. c. Wheeler Passes Away Sue

Mrs. w. G. Wheeler Passes Away Sud-
denly at Thompson Home.
Mrs. Clementine L. Wheeler, widow
of the late William c. Wheeler, and a
pioneer of this county, died suddenly
Tuesday evening at 6:15 at the home
Of her daughter, Mrs. Roy Thompson,
sos North Center street. Mrs. Wheel
ers death was due to apoplexy, and
followed an illness that began Tues
day forenoon at II o'clck.
Elementine Long was rs years old,
and was born in Indiana. When a girl
she moved with her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Zadock Long, to Iowa, settling in
Linn county on a farm four miles north
of Marion. There, in her fathers log
cabin, on Nov. 4, 1852, Miss Long was
given in marriage to Mr.. Wheeler, and
four years later the young couple came
to this county, buying a farm one-half
mile south Of Albion. They lived on this
place, and in the town Of Albion, for
thirty-eight years, moving in 1896 to
Algona, n from there to Cedar Falls
in 1900. On Nov. 4, 1907, at Cedar Falls,
Mr.. and Mrs. Wheeler celebrated the
ffty-ffth anniversary of their mar
riage, and Mr.. Wheeler died at Cedar
Falls Dec. 6, 1908.
MI. and Mrs. Wheeler were the par
ents of twelve children, six of whom
are living. They are Marion F. Wheel
er, Of Enterprise, Ore; Zadock L.
Wheeler, and Mrs. Matte Grove, of st.
Paul; Mrs. Rhoda Morrow, of Conrad;
Mrs. E. A. Hill, of Green Mountain, and
Mrs. Thompson.
The funeral arrangements have not
yet been made, further than the inter-
ment will be at Albion.

Mr.. PlERcE's LETTER
Granitoid Defense Inspired by the Let
ter Which Mr.. Pierce Secured From
Mason City.

Granitoid Defense Inspired by the Let
ter Which Mr.. Pierce Secured From
Mason City.
Somewhat mysteriously at the time,
a publication was made in this city
last week upbraiding the Times-Re-
publican for advertising paving speci-
fications which would avoid useless
royalties for patented pavements. A
letter from the city clerk of Mason City
was published stating that contracts
had not been let for paving there,
which letter was used as the basis Of a
charge that the T.-R. had lied about
something. The T.-R. had never said
that the contracts had been let, it had
only said that the Mason City council
had voted to lay concrete paving with
an unpatented sane and cement veal
ing surface. The specifications were
then being drawn by the city engineer
and were adopted by the Mason City
council this last Monday evening.
But why the granitoid article? Lis
ten. The representative OF the T.-R.
who called on the city engineer of Ma
son City writes: 1.-The letter which the
other paper of your city quotes was
written by City Clerk McEwen to a
Mr.. Pierce, of YOU city. A letter from
Mr.. Pierce to the city clerk here in
quired as to whether the plans and
specifications for u new paving had
been adopted. Mr.. McEwen, of course,
answered in the negative. Last Mon
day night the city council adopted
specifications for cement concrete paw
ing as prepared by City Engineer Will
son."
Now why is Mr.. Pierce writing let
tiers and inspiring granitoid arguments
in willing publications? Why is a two
inch wearing surface, mixed n part
cement to two parts clean, silicious
sand good enough for Mason City,
when the great cement mills are right
there at their very doors to tell them
if this kind of pavement will not prove
durable? Has the fact that real com
petitive bidding on an u%npatented
pavement promised a price of $1.35 per
yard had anything to do with it?

The officers Of Frank NJ. Thomas W.
r. c. No. 9 are most anxious that they
secure the help and cooperation of
the general public in furnishing flow
ers for Memorial Day, and citizens not
only Of the town but the surrounding
country are earnestly requested to join
in the donations for the Memorial Day
observance.
The corps women will be at the east
court room Monday morning from
1880 until 9 o'clock, to receive all
flowers for Memorial Day. AS far as
possible the women would like to have
the bowers arranged in bouquets of
suitable size for placing on graves.
There are between 200 and 300 graves
to be decorated in Riverside, so that an
abundance Of flowers will be required.
The officers Of the corps suggest that
school children, on Saturday, can
gather many wild flowers, and by
keeping them carefully in water can
deliver them to the east court room
fresh and made up into nice bouquets.

kiNpLINo AGAINST DOOR
Gunny Sacks, Containing Oil Soaked
kindIins and Quantity Of Oil, Found
in the Misunderstanding Had Been
Lighted But Sack in Which it Was
Contained Had s~mothered the Blaze.

An attempt to fire and burn the Nc
Bride & Will Drug Compan's drug store
at Albion was made by an unknown in
cendiary Monday night, the attempt
being unsuccessful thru an oversight
Of the person or persons, who, after
carefully preparing a highly inflam-
mable bundle Of oiled kindling, allowed
it to be smothered and put out within
the package in which it was placed
against the building.
When Charles Jentsch opened the
store early in the morning he found
against the front foor q large gunny
sack. Inside Of this gunny sack he
found a big bundle Of kindling. soaked
in kerosene. On top of 1t was a broom
head, soaked in kerosene, both being
contained in a gunny sack, which was
also soaked in oil. On top of this were
four large bottles. One was filled with
benzine, two contained kerosene, and
one was full Of gasoline. All four bot
ties were corked with paper, which
was oil soaked. The bottles and the
inner gunny sack were contained in
a second gunny sack.
The kindling was burned n char
red, but from Its appearance it is ev-
ident that, after it had been set on fire
the top Of the gunny sack had fallen
in yer it, caused the blaze to shoulder,
and finally put out the fire because Of q
lack of air.
There is no clue to the person who
attempted to fire the building. Last
winter the drug store building was
damaged by some micreant who threw
an ak and two hatchets thru the plate
glass windows. At the same time ar
unsigned warning, ordering him tc
leave town, vas addressed to Mr.
Jentsch.
