DENMARK WANTS
COOKS DATA FIRST
People Feel That They Are En-

Copenhagen. Oct. 5.-The announce
ment of DR.. Cooks willingness to re
quest the University of Copenhagen IL
waive its claim 10 the first examination
Of the records of his journey TO the
North Pole. causes keen disappoint-
ment, and. whatever may be the reply
Of the university to the explorers re-
quest, present indications do not fore
shadow a graceful acquiescence on the
part OF the general public.
The rector OF the university in the
course Of an interview said:
NO such request has yet been re
ceived from DR. Cook and II is impos
sible to say what attitude the univer-
sity will take towards the suggestion
that American and other scientific bod
les shall first view the explorers data.
The action OF the university will de
pend on the reason DR.. Cook gives
The general public is inclined to be
annoyed at the suggestion that foreign
scientific bodies shall first see the rec
ords. The people consider the promise
TO give the university here the first
opportunity of passing upon the rec
ords as nothing but justice. in view OF
the honorS heaped upon the explorer
by both the university and the Danish
public and their ungrudging support
and belief in his exploits.

the lost Dundee whaler Paradox. and
the story OF an Eskimo who, driven 10
cannibalism by starvation, ate his own
child. and shooting several neighbors

The Paradox. one OF the feet OF

crunched in the ice foes off Bafiin

the Adventure. the cannibalism Of the
starving Eskimo. The mans fishing
and hunting season had been a fail

cut the throat OF one OF his children
and then ate the little victim.
When the mans neighbors learned
Of the horrible crime they attacked
him according to the primitive law OF
their race. The outcast beat of all as
saults shot down several Of the at
lacking party and escaped into the
wilderness. His fate Is unknown.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an infiamed condition Of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
