4 Contributor to the Albion, Illinois.
Josrnal. tells the readers Of that
Iapee how An explorer may know
when he has reached the North pole.
. very pertinent and interesting thing
At this particslar dime. =. H ssays:
since. the recent announcehen< thAt
DR.. Cook and Commander Peary had
discovered the North pole there have
been hundreds of inquiries about
how one could know when hei had
reached that long sought locality. The
explanation ts very simple. The axis
Of the earth points approximately
to the north star. II one were on the
equator of the earth the north star
would appear ON his horizon, north
ward. II this person should walk
north along a given meridian ten de-
grees, the north star would rise ten
degrees above the horizon. II he con-
tinues to travel north along the same
meridian the north star rises higher
and higher In the sky. ..
Tho further north our traveller goea
the higher the star rises.
The greatest altitude q star can
have 10 90 degrees. When the travel
er has reached q point at which the
star has risen 30 degrees in the sky.
the star will then be found to be
equally distant cmeasured in degrees)
from every point Of the horizon. The
traveller has now reached the north
pole. He stands on the end of the
axis Of the earth, and the north star.
II directly overhead. The measure
ment of the distance Tin degrees)
from the north star to various points
Of the horizon is simple process.

ROBBERS RESPECT
NURSE UNIFORM

Don't bother her, she's nurse"
The above exclamation, accord

According to Mrs. Jacobs, the
uniform of nurse Is protection
from harm as efficient as If there
were posse of deputy sheriffs at

Il always wear my uniform when
am called out late at night, or
when alone in some isolated por-

men. whether they be good or bad,

SWANSON STILL
FIGHTING
ACCUSES RECEIVER OF NEGLI-
GENCE AND ADVISES CON-
TEST OF $4,000 FOR SER
VICES.

Il. w. Swanson, president of the
defunct State Bank of Washington,
promises fight over the fees in
the receivership of the bank fully
as bitter as that raging In the case
of the Inland Bank of Spokane.
Swanson says the affairs of the
State bank ought to have been
conducted in such way by the
receiver as to pay 100 cents on the
dollar and allow the receiver and
his attorneys just compensation
for their services in addition.
when the bank failed nearly
three years ago cash assets of
$4,000 came into the hands of the
receiver soon thereafter" said
Swanson today. This was in
creased by the addition of $4,000
collected two months ago on a
Judgment against the Merchants
Il Mechanics bank. making total
assets OF about $4,000, as against
liabilities to depositors of less
than that amount.
AT recent meeting, with a ma
jority Of the n stockholders, Hor-
ace Kimball, the receiver. an
nounced he thought the bill for
his services and that of his attor-
neys, Cullen 4 Dudley, would
amount to $4,000 | deem this ex-
cessive. and have called upon the
stockholders to protest and fight
the allowance of cent over $4,000.
Furthermore, had the receiver
drawn the usual interest on his
balance in bank. which he should
have done, there would be enough
money on hand to pay the deposit
ors In full and compensate the re-
ceiver and his attorneys. We have
another Judgment against rail
road company pending that will
cover the receivers charges II the
same are reduced to reasonable
basis.
"The depositors have employed
Mr.. Pence. an attorney in the
Hyde block. and proposed to fight
the allowance of the receiver, If
made on the basis claimed. l make
this statement at this time, as
am about to go to the hospital, and
want the depositors to be on the
lookout for their interests"

LOAN SHARKS
FEAR THE BILL

assignments are not fled some
times until months after the vic

the loan shark.
Recently there were seven as
signments presented by loan
sharks for the wages of one man
employed on the Great Northern,
and the company, not knowing
whom to pay the mans salary, de-
cided to have the matter threshed
out in court.
When an assignment of wages Is
filed the party making the assign
ment. gives the loan shark or his
representative power of attorney
to collect all of his wages. After
the loan shark gets his rakeoff
what is left is turned over to the
wage Garner. The loan shark is
authorized in case the man
changes place of employment to
substitute the name of the new
employer in place of the old one,
thus keeping up an endless chain,
which is hard for the borrower to
beat out.
The railroads, particularly the
Northern Pacific, are opposed to
the assignment of wages in this
manner by their employees, and
have time and again issued circu-
lars against it containing threats
of dismissal of employees indulging
in the practice. But so long as
men get in close lines financially
and the alluring bait of the loan
shark is in sight so long will the
practice continue unless prevented
by legislation.
An employee of the Great North
ern few days ago paid SIS inter
est on loan of $40 for a period
of two months and "a days. Most
of the contracts are at such ex-
cessive rates of interest that the
parties making them could beat
them In court on the ground of
usury, but as rule the man who
appeals to the salary loan shark
does not have the money to en-
plOy an attorney.
