ONLY ONE "WET" SPOT IN THE
VALLEY.

When the result of yesterdays local
option election in Staunton becomes
effective. there will be ony one wet
spot In all of the Valley of Virginia.
Harrisonburg will be the lone legaliz-
ed FIRE water oasis in all that fam
Gus broad and fertile region. which
possibly boasts OF as many judges OF
good whiskey us any other section
cr the State. And Harrisonburg is
under FIRE. Only a day of two ago
Il was announced that n petition FOR
local option election In that town
had been granted. and that the vot-
ers would decide whether or not they
will keep their saloons on August "a,

make a last stand, and the indications
are that one of the hottest fights OF
the prohibition movement wiz be
fought there. II iiarrisonburg goes
dry. the jug train will have to
come from some point outside of the
Valley, for. according to all accounts,
Jug train" must come from some
where. even if it has to start at the sea-
shore.
Iiarriscnburg has leealized the sale
of liquor for nineteen years. About
twenty -one years ago a prohibition
movement was started in the town
and the people voted dry The
drought did not last long. however, for
in less than two years there was
petition for another election and ss-
Icons have fourished there ever since.
The result at Staunton probably
will not affect the Statewide prohi-
hilton question one way or the other
II was generally conceded that the
fight there would be exceedingly close.
and the fact the the "drys" won out
by bare majority OF twenty votes
hardly can be said to have any partic-
ular significance.

The Duke of the Abruzzis Expedition

to the North Pole.
Leaving Rene on May 7th, 1899.
His Royal Highness went to Norway
TO join his ship. a whaler which was
being fitted out/there. and had been
rechristened the Polar Star. OF start
ed from Chfistiana on June 18TH,
arrived at Archangle or the 30th TO
ship the dogs which were TO complete
the crew and serve as provisions,
and sailed again On July 18th.
The Polar Star was headed for the
, most northern accessible land, and
got ashore on the western side of the
northenrmost island Of the Franz Josef
Archipelago, In a bay which was
named Teplitz (Sls AZ 20" n. Lat)
upon August 10th. This was not al
together Intentional The situation, il
Is admitted was not a good one,
though II was bought TO be sufficient
ly safe The contrary was shown In
the night OF September 7th, when the
ship was embedded in ice.
II was disturbed two or three times
during the night" says His Royal
gIighness. by slight creaking noises,
but towards half past six loud reports
coming from all sides. and sudden
movements OF the ship. which first
heeed over TO the left and then
twenty degrees to the right. reused

rushed out on deck. half dressed.
to see what was happening.
"The ice-field in the bay. driven by
the ice-pack. had risen all around
over that which lay along the coast
and had reached mp TO the kennels,
against the doors OF when some large
foes had been piled up. thus pre-
venting egress. When the dogs gave
the aialrm the crew ran TO extri-
cate them by breaking the inner par
tition and letting them out on the side
of the land. A pressure-ridge had
been formed along the coast with
hummocks fifteen to eighteen feet
high. Under the strong pressure Of
the ice against the bow, the ship had
backed almost ninety feet and had
risen at the same time on the ice,
where she remained. with her bow out
OF water. heeling over ABOUT twenty
degrees to the left. Great slabs or
ice hal been raised against her sides
and stern while she was making her
way through them. At the bow ali
the riggings Of the foremost had
broken loose. and On the right side OF
the ship. which was exposed from the
middle to the bow when she helled
over, the outer planks Of green-heart
were seen to have been driven in 10
q depth of two and half to three
and a quarter inches for a length of
eighteen or twenty feet, so much so
that a hand could be passed between
them
Temporarily the ship was aban
don. Nearly all the stores were taken
out Of her. and everyone lived on
shore: but when opportunities occur
ed they set to work patching her up,
with a view to returning home next
year. Water had 10 be pumped our
to discover the leaks. more particu

and the work was effected so success
