WHITNEY SAYS HE THINKS
COOK REACHED THE POLE

this city from Nova Scotia In a final
statement before retiring at the Waldorf
Astoria hotel, DR.. Cook declared that on
the Roosevelt there was more than one
person who knew that he had been to
the pole Pritchard, the cabin boy. has al
ready admitted that he heard DIR. Cook
tell Harry Whitney of finding the pole
and the statement from DR.. Cook in
dicates that Pritchard did not have the
information to himself on the Roosevelt.
PEARY TO KEEP QUIET.
The sudden determination Of Com
mander Peary to remain in seclusion at
his summer home at Eagle Island. Me-.
indefinitely, has caused considerable con-
lecture. It was believed that Commander
Peary would hasten to this city and SUBJ
nit the proofs which he said he possess
ed that DR.. Cook had not reached the
pole.
His announcement that he would accept
no public honors and would not attemp.
to controvert the Brooklyn physicians
claims was the result of a telegram sug-
costing that course, by Herbert L. Bridg-
man, secretary of the Peary Arctic club,
and Gen. Thomas H. Hubbard, the presi-
dent. At the time Commander Peary an
nounced this determination he added in
his emphatic way in an interview at sgd
ney, Nova Scotia, that he was still con-
WINGED that he could prove that DR.. COOK
had not reached the north pole.
While 1t is not known just how long
Commander Peary will remain in seclu-
sion, 1t is believed that he Will wait I'M
til DR.. Cook has submitted his data to
the University of Copenhagen, and It Ia
made public.

SEAMY SIDE OF ASSYRIA
FEATURE OF COURT SESSION

upon she set up mighty howl, and 9TH
er members OF the family promptly lined
up in rival factions, and a fight followed
that would make the average Darktown
encounter resemble a nursery rough-and-
tumble.
Going deeper into the trouble. Little Joe,
whose statement he impatiently withheld
until his elder brother finished talking,
explained that every time the old man
came back home he raised a row, and re-
minded the court that on numerous oc-'
casions Sullivan had been fined for just
such a disorder as that of Sunday. And
In this connection the arresting officer ex-
planned that the whole family apparently
have a grudge against the old man, be-
cause he has a nice bank account, and
will not write checks as frequently as
they would like.
Judge Broyles looked over the prisoner
from head to heel. ST can't savvy how
your name is Sullivan" he soliloquized,
land I don't suppose ever will savvy,
But one thing would like to know: How
old are your
In his broken English the old Assyrian
answered that he was so on his last birth
day.
And Little joe how old are your"
asked the court. The boy replied "i3, go
In on IA"
Then he dismissed the case against Sui
Ivan" on solemn promise that the old
man would never come back again to dis
turb his FAMILY.

How to Get Rid
Of Catarrh
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way,
and it Costs Nothing to Try.

Those who suffer from catarrh know
its Tniseries. There is no need of this
suffering. You can get rid of 1t by
simple, safe. inexpensive, home treatment
discovered by DR.. Blosser, who, for over
thirty-five years, has been treating ca
tarrh successfully ....-
His treatment is unlike any other. IT
is not spray douche, salve, cream, or
inhaler, but is a more direct and thor
ough treatment than any of these. 1t
cleans out the head, nose, throat and
lungs so that you can again breathe free
ly and sleep without that stopped-up feel
ing that all catarrh sufferers have. If
heals the diseased mucous membranes
and arrests the foul discharge, so that
you will not be constantly blowing your
nose and splitting, and at the same time
II does not poison the system and ruin
the stomach, as internal medicines do.
If you want to test this treatment
without cost, send your address to DR..
]. W. Blosser, 81 Walton Street, Atlanta,
Ca, and he will send you by return mail
enough Of the medicine to satisfy you
that 1t is all he claims for II as a rem
edy for catarrh, catarrhal headaches, ca
tarrhal deafness, asthma, bronchitis,
colds and all catarrhal complications. He
will also send you free an illustrated
booklet. Write him Immediately.

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 inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
Illumination 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 inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Sheriff Clyde Rossiter of Cherry

last week on the lookout for a
team Of horses and the fellow that
rustled them out of Nebraska a

locating the horses in the hands of

Kadoka Also Buys Chemical
Engine

Another foxy agent for chemi-

This time he has been cutting cir
cles around the town board at
Kadoka, and finally managed to
gather them in for five hundred
dollars upon the representation
that his machine would knock the
wadding out of insurance rates.
His engine has been sold and will
be shipped to the Kadoka dads in
about a week.
The Kadoka Press has this to
say about the transaction:

Tree Planting Season

The tree planting season Is here
in all its activity. For tho past
two weeks the Iowa nurseries have
been shipping trees to this and
other towns along tie Northwest
ern line. At the present time
there are several different concerns
delivering trees at this place.
Hardly a farmer goes out Of town
these days unless he has = bundle
wrapped in burlxp in the back end
of his buggy. Apple, peaches,
plums and various other varieties
are being bought by the farmers.
The magnitude of tho business
may be imagined when It il con-
sidered that one concern Chains to
have delivered twenty thousand
trees at points in this county with
in the past three weeks. Many OF
these are forest and ornamental
trees too, showing that tha settlers
intend to plant trees for tho asuer-
al attractiveness they add 70 Tho
landscape ~ we'll - for marc
financial profit.
We have remarked before somo-
where that the tree planters will
in the end be the saviours Of This
country. They are looking b.
yond the claim shacks and uooqger
improvements Of today to ths weil
improved and attractive farms OF
tomorrow. And they are build
ing better than they know. Right
here in Stanley county time will
prove what it has in every other
prairie state west of tho Missinaip-
pi, and that is, that,the wiseet of
all the pioneers is the man Who

for wolf bounty amounting to

date last year when the holders of

must be pro-rated on the amount
of the appropriation, which is
$4,000 q year. The rush of
claims comes when the young

Farming Operations on the Mil.
Waukee Line

1t is but three years since the
large majority of our homestead
ers arrived here. but in that short
time wonders have been accomp-
lished. From strictly cow
country the land has been claimed
by the homesteaders who came
three years ago and broke his five
acre patch. The five acre plot was
put into crop and 10 and behold the
crops which were raised. This
looked good to majority of the
claim holders. but the knocker
was there who said that the crops
were an accident and that another
might not be raised in years. The
faithful few kept ut it and next
year broke more land and the
second crop was fully as good MS
the first. \ third season of GOOD
crops followed and now we are
Just entering upon the fourth sea
son with every reason to expect
that our hopes for another good
crop will be realized. Crop con-
dltlons thus far have been ideal
and the soil contains plenty of
moisture but this is not the point
to which we wish to direct your
attention. The fondest hopes of
the settlers have been realized each
year and they are thus encouraged
to greater endeavor and this year
are putting out more than double
the acreage of last year.
The Press has been making a de-
termined effort to get an estimate
Of the acreage of crops to be put
out in the territory tributary to
Kadoka and has secured returns
from eighty-three farmers who
will pnt out an average of nearly
seventy-seven acres each or 1856
acres in all.

Farmers Institutes

We are pleased to be able to an
nounce that the Farmers Institute
Board has arranged for series of
twelve or more meetings in Stan
ley and Pennington counties, May
10 to 10, one of the best possible
times for the people to attend.
The meetings will be held at in
land points back from the railroad.
The meetings that have been
held in the past have resulted in
those who attended being better
prepared to cope with conditions as
we find them in this new country.
The speakers discourage expen-
sive exper ments. and
base all their advice upon expert
ence in the drier portions of this
state east of the river, during the
dry seasons of the eighties and
early nineties. They spend most
of their time calling attention to
the lessons we may learn from
things we have seen all our lives,
but have never stopped to con-
slider.
They have the utmost confidence
in the future of this portion of the
state if proper methods are adopt
ed, and try to point out wherein,
and why these methods must differ
from those followed in Iowa, and
other states east and south of US.
They do not think that it is
necessary the average farmer
should work harder, but simply
try to show him what is to be
gained by thinking of, and study
ing the conditions which surround
him, and the laws of nature which
enter into his daily affairs.
It is particularly requested by
the management that the ladies,
and the young people attend these
meetings.
This is peculiarly opportune
occasion for neighbors to hold
picnic at the places where meetings
are to be held.
The speakers will travel by auto,
and unless delayed the meetings
will open right on time, so try and
not miss any of the addresses.

are as follows:

tlon the fact that in order to Sc
cure reduction of the rates of i'm
surance, it will be necessary for
the town to purchase two engines
IN order to have one in reserve to
be used while the other is being
TILED. According to our inform
ant no credit will be given for one
engine unless we have two. The
reduction in that case would be
from E to 10 per cent, which
would in one year more than pay
the cost of another engine. This
is q matter which should be looked
into and we believe it will be adj
vlsable to purchase another
engine -
In other words the agent for the
chemical squirter has concluded to
go back and get the kadoka board
again. This time it is handed out
IN cold figures that there will be Il
reduction Of ten per cent in insur-
ance rates, if another machine is
bought. This will more than pay
the cost of another engine" Fancy
proposition, isn't it? The board
can buy another engine, save that
ten per they get from the insur-
ance companies, and next year buy
another engine. Then they save
another nice little wad the follow
ing year, and buy another engine.
This can simply be kept up, until
there is chemical engine on every
kadoka hearthstone, and the in
surance companies are out of busi-
ness. All, a beautiful outlook.
The trouble is, that it doesn't
work out that way. Philip has
two engines and has had them for
some time, but nary reduction in
insurance rates. I'VE have nothing
to say regarding the success of the
for we have never seen
one of the things in operation.
We believe, however, that they
are much better than no fire pro-
lection, and probably worth all
they cost. But we object to hay-
ing our friends hoodooed by this
representation that purchase of
the engines will result in lowering
insurance rates. That's a fabrica
tion pure and simple. 1t looks
like a bright and shining trump in
the agents hand, and it is to him,
until it's played and then it turns
out to be a joker for the other
fellows. ..
We imagine that kadoka will
buy another engine. Then we can
see the citizens of that thriving
little town -toeing round in the
gathering dusk of a summer even
ing, listening for insurance rates
to drop. There will be a brief
and agonizing suspense, while our
nelghbors are waiting for the
thud, but the only noise from the
insurance companies will be gen
tie, slipping, soothing, but slight
ly staggering rise in rates.

Panic at BeIvidere

AN'o "CSh a polVN VI AIl"duhc*
railroad officials including Presi.
dent Earling went out on the Mil.
waukee line near Lennon left
their private cars, and started
automobiling across the Cheyenne
reservation and Stanley county
toward the White River line.
Their cars were picked up, taken
around through the eastern part
of the state, and brought out to
Belvidere to await the arrival of
the officials. As soon as the cars
were set in on the side track at
that little hamlet, the inhabitants
began to wake up and rub their
eyes with growing curiosity.
Inquiry at the station, and of
the colored gentlemen in charge
brought forth the information that
the cars were there waiting the ar
rival OF the officials who were com
ing across from Lennon. Then
there was a panic. The townsite
agent was routed out of bed at
daylight next morning after the
arrival of the cars by a clamorOus
mob of eager investors who wished
to buy town lots. Every lot on
the townsite was sold like so many
tickets at a circus, and in al hour
an engineer was telegraphed for
to plat more lots.
Real estate values went soaring
in fashion that would take the
ordinary mans breath away. but
those Belvidereites were equal to
the occasion. They had been
waiting for an opportunity, and
when it hove in sight, they fell on
it with a whoop-a-loo. They sold,
they bought, and then they sold
again. Their real estate boom had
Patterns wheat corner beat to nine
varieties of frazzle. and every
time they hit the line the prices
scared.
Every citizen of the little bnrQ
was suddenly imbued with an
ardurous desire to be millionaire.
Credit was extended until every
body was able to plunge without
being handicapped in the slightest
by his neighbor. Men who woke
up in the morning of the boom
day, just ordinary Stanley county
citizens, went to bed rich in real
estate they had bought on time.
Others were rich in real estate
they had sold but had not vet COL
lected for.
Next day things were quieter,
and the people amused themselves
by going out to the hills north of
town and watching for the red
automobiles of the railroad party.
Since then so many rumors have
been floating around that it is not
possible to get line on the exact
situation over there. We have
heard that the railroad was already
being built, that trains were
running as far as Midland. and
that that town had boom on with
our old friend Russell leading the
frenzied real estate plungers; but
nothing definite can be learned.
We are not certain even whether
the party of officials have yet ar
rived, and we refrain from giving
our readers unreliable informa-
ton. If railroad is built in
Stanley county, we will probably
