LOST HIS GIN
 LAST SATURDAY
H. w. Whites Gin Was Totally Destroyed by
 Fire Last Saturday Morning at 1::3O

Last Saturday morning about 1:3O H. w. Whites gin was burned to the ground. When discovered, the fire was under such headway that nothing could be done toward saving it. There was no cotton in the gin at the time of the fire. There was one bale on the wagon near the gin that had been ginned the evening before but this was saved from burning.
 This is quite serious loss to Mir. White as he had no insur- ance at all. The origin of the fire is not known as there had been no fire in the engine room since middle of the evening before.

 WERE GAMBLING
Euchre And Whist Playing For Painted China Prizes Is Prohibited in
 Wilmette.

Chicago, Sept. "A. -Euchre and whist playing for painted china prizes is gambling in the opinion of the village board of Wilmette, a north shore residen- tial suburb and the board last night closed a hall in which 125 women were about to play euchre.
 The women were turned back by barred doors and advised that while the affair might be a convenient output for art, the plan constituted gambling, which could not be tolerable in the village except in private home games.
 The plan in question was for each invited person to pay 50 cents for a program and score card, all prizes being free to those who won. At special meeting of the village board the order closing the hall was issued.

THE "GOOD SAMARITAN"

One day last week, while sad and
dreary, weak and weary, across the
unswept floor, we heard at first a
gentle tapping, then it became an
earnest rapping, rapping at our
sanctum door.
Come in" we said, while we
pondered, and in silence still we
wondered what for US could be in
store.
Then the doorbolt softly turning,
in he walked; our cheeks were
burning, thought of crimson gore.
Are you the man what does the
writing?" (what will rhyme with this
but fighting? quickly thought we
o'er).
Sir, we are," we gently told him,
nodding to the boys to hold him if he
tried to beat us sore.
Then you will please give me
credit, opposite that little debit, fol-
a dollar and half more.
[ like your paper and will take il
as long as you will strive to make ii
as good as it has been BEFORE"
We jumped. He lodged, thus we
missed him, or we would have kissed
him. even if the boys did roar.
So seldom treated in this maune r
we felt inclined to shout hossaner-
only that, and nothing more.

HAS AER0PLANE OF
DIM|NuT|VE SIZE
Santos -DumOnt'S Machine Verv
Striking in Appearance. -

Paris, Sept. 1 The reappearance
in the world of aviation of Santos
Dumont with his remarkable perform
ance here, when he fed in an aero
plane at a speed of about 1hirty-fve
miles an hour, has attracted much at
tention on account of the diminutive
size of the machine. The aeroplane
of Santos-Dumont weighs, together
with the pilot only 11S Kilograms
(229.6 pounds). 1t has nine square
yards of surface, as against twenty
two square yards in the Curtiss aero
plane, tWenty-siX in the Bleriot and
tifty-three in the Wright machines. A
two'cylinder motor developed thirty
horsepower and ran at the rate of
1900 revolutions a minute. The most
striking feature in the appearance Of
this aerOplane is the short and broad
wing, tilted at high angle. It has
no tail and it's general appearance is
that of a quail.

UNUSUAL INTEREST
IN HARTMAN WILL
Believed Railroad Securities Will
Be Held in Trust.

week, according to Robert S. Lovett,
who has been elected chairman of the
Union Pacific executive committee to
succeed Mr.. Hartman in the admin.
1stration of the vast Hartman rail.
road interests.
Mr.. Lovett, who was believed to
have been closer to Mr.. Hartman
than any other man. would not dis
cuss the contents of the will, but said
1t had been drawn by Charles A. Pea
body, president of the Mutual Life
Insurance company, and that it was
In his possession. This will, which is
perhaps exciting more interest than
any similar document in many years,
will probably be filed for probate at
Goshen, the county seat of Orange
county, which includes the large Har-
r1man estate at Arden. For legal pur-
poses copy may be entered in the
courts in this city and it is under
stood that the first announcement of
the Wills details will be made in this
city.
Among Mr.. Harriman's intimate
friends the belief prevailed that the
enormous Hartman railroad holdings
are not to be divided for long period
and that the will creates a trust for
their administration, the income going
to the heirs.
1t is also said that while the rail-
road and commercial interests will be
held intact through a trusteeship the
will gives to Mrs Hartman the mag
nificent estate at Arden and also the
town house in Fifth avenue.

ARGUMENTS FAVORING BOTH
Latest Developments in North Pole
Controversy.

Latest Developments in North Pole
Controversy.
New York, Sept. Developments
In the North pole controversy contain
arguments in favor of both Comman-
der Peary and DR.. Cook. The oft re-
peated charge that Peary made use of
Cooks stores is denied by Herbert
L. Bridgman, secretary Of the Peary
Arctic club, with plausible ground for
refutation. On the other hand the
supporters of the Brooklyn physician
have been quick to seize upon the in
telligence that only one Eskimo stood
by the naval officers side when he
raised the American flag at the ex-
treme top of the earth.
The hackers of Commander Peary
point out that while Allan Whitten,
the boatsWain of the Peary auxiliary
steamer Erik in 1905 and 1908, de-
clared that Peary's people took Dr.
Cooks stores at Etah and Annotok,
Whitten admits not knowing whether
the removal was by arrangement with
Rudolph Francke, Cooks steward, who
had been left in charge of the sup
plies.
Mr.. Bridgman says Francke was
picked up by Peary's men in North
Star bay between Cape York and Etah
while Francke was trying to return to
civilization from the post where
Francke had been left by Cook.
Francke, says Mr.. Bridgman, said
that he was physically unfit to remain
longer in the extreme North and after
Peary's surgeon had confirmed this
statement Francke was given money
by Peary to enable Francke to reach
