out Pritchard made the statement
at Battle Harbor on Saturday In
the beginning Pritchard told the cor

Pritchard modified this by explain
ing that Cooks story was told to
Whitney and he, Pritchard was
present in the room Pritchard said
Cook had only two Eskimos with
him at the pole. He said nothing
about having reached the pole.
Cook limited his information to
Murphy to the fact that he had pas

TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER p. 1909,

Since it is said that the city
will prohibit the practice OF allowing
the water from bathtubs to run into
the alleys, people are wondering
what they are expected to do. If
they take their daily bath, the water
must be disposed of in some way
The question is, shall they run the
risk Of being fined by continuing
TO let the bath water run into the
alleys, or shall they discontinue the
daily bath? The construction OF
sewer system will remove the diff
guilty, but it seems as if that de-
Toutly hoped for cOnsummatiOn were
still in the remote fUture.-BrOwnS-
gilIe Herald.
It does look like rather flinty
proposition Whether it were bet
ter 10 battle and be arrested or go
unwashed and free is a problem for
each Brownsville citizen to work out

leave the water in the tub and use
the same fluid over and over again?

The News suggestion may answer
very well for GaIvestonian, with
the Gulf of Mexico for ones bath

one pause if contemplated for a

the fluid in which to immerse ones

Prisoners Narrow ESCAPE.

Much to their disgust, two men and
a woman, prisoners at police head
quarters, were thoroughly fumigated
with formaldehyde gas at Allentown,
Pa. and will not soon forget the ex-
perience that came near costing their
lives. House Sergeant Harrison Ster-
ner, unaware that any of the cells
were occupied. decided to fumigate
the cellrooms. He set the fumigating
machine to work and went into an
other part Of the building Only after
the terrified prisoners had yelled
themselves hoarse and were nearly
smothered was the mistake discov-

BRINGING
UPTHfDfAD

Cherry, Ills, Nov. 19.-The second
and saddest act of the St. Paul mine
tragedy, the recovery and attempted
identification of the dead, began to
day. Three bodies, those of two men
and a boy, were brought to the sur
face. Fifty or seventy-five other bod
les are beyond reach because of the
fire which is still burning. They were
seen in the wreckage of smouldering
timbers and mud.
A great strip of canvas has been
unrolled by firemen and laid on the
prairie near the mine shaft. Here the
bodies were laid. The grief-stricken
men, women and children formed a
great circle about them. but many
turned away unable to endure the
sobs and cries of those who mourned
while seeking their dead. Two of the
bodies were quickly identified, one as
"Dickie Stearns. a stable boy and
the other as Louis Gibbs. a miner.
All morning the great crowd linger-
ed around the mine shaft and canvas
on the prairie with its blackened hor-
rors stretched before them There
were many women but more child
rem. With heavy shawls over their
heads the women pushed their way TO
where the bodies lay. Some were
weeping, others We're past the relief
of tears, with a hopeless grief in their
eyes.
Among those in the crowd were a
woman and her young daughter, the
woman with folded arms and dry
eyes, gazing blankly over the prairie.

The third victim was iisntified as
George Mullin. The condition of the
bodies showed that they died from
suffocation and had been dead many
days. Superintendent Steele declar-

to every man in the mine before sun

demonstrated by the disclosures. The
