TWO DRUNKS
Run Over by Train and Ground to
Death.

From Hammond, La, is told how two
white men were ground to death few
days since. P. J. Ryan, a lumber check
er for the Owl Bayou Cypress Com
pary, and Charles Carter, night watch
man for the same concern, were killed
by the limited mail train from New Or
leans which was running at the rate of
about forty-fve miles an hour. The
two men imbibed freely and sat down
on the rail and fell asleep. They were
stupid from the drink and did not hear
the approaching train. Carter's body
was ground to pulp, while Ryan's skull
was crushed. If the man who sold the
intoxicants could be held to account.
There may be reckoning somewhere
some day.

FORECAST OF STORMS TO CROSS

SEVERE STORMS EXPECTED
During the Last Days of September.
High Temperature Followed by Frost
in Northern Latitudes and an Elec-
trical Storm.

copyrighted 1909 by w T. Foster.)
Washington, D. c., Sept I8-My last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross the continent I6 to 20, warm wave
Is to 10, cool wave IS to 22. This dis
turbance was expected to follow very
Il W temperatures and the average tenn
perature of week centering on IS to be
unusually low with killing frosts further
south than usual. Next disturbance
will reach Pacific coast about 2I, cross

Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about 2I, great central valleys p, east
,rn states rs. Cool wave will cross
Pacific slope about "a, great central val
.leys 26, eastern states 28.
The special feature of this disturb
ance will be great rise in temperature
followed by more frosts and an electri-
cal storm at some unknown hour during
the period September 81 to 25 inclusive.
Following this storm period the tenn
peratures will not go as low as preced-
ing it. Severe storms are expected dur
ing last days of September. Next bulle-
tin will give general forecasts of Oc-
tober crop weather
While the Department of Agriculture
gives fairly reliable monthly reports on
crop conditions they will not be able to
give full details of the damage to corn
by the August drouth before October
10. Not more than half a crop of corn
has been produced east of the Alleghe-
nies and in West Virginia and in Penn
sylvania west of the Alleghenies, and
| the deficiency must be supplied by ship
ping corn from the great central val
leys.
Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Okla
homa and southern Illinois suffered
greatly from the August drouth, ant
these being great corn producers the
damage necessarily cuts the corn cror
of 1909 materially 1t is too early to de-
termine the value of corn and the best
policy will be not to sell.

COOKS SUCCESS
As Related by Letters from Ehkimos to
Young Danish Woman.

New York, Sept. I7.-The strongest
evidence that Dr. Frederick A. Cook
actually reached the North Pole that
has yet come from either his friends or
himself was obtained last night. The
substantiation of the Brooklyn explor-
er's claim came from Greenland Eski-
mos, who assert that the natives of the
north are in possession of information
that will beyond doubt establish DR..
Cooks statement that he was the first
man to reach the top of the earth.
Letters conveying news of DR.. Cooks
trail to the northward were sent from
Greenland before DR.. Cooks own an
nouncement, to Miss Gerda Sebblelov,
Danish girl, who spent three years liv-
ing as an Eskimo among the northern
natives. These letters were written from
northern Greenland by Miss Sebblelov's
Eskimo friends, and conveyed to her
[ their assurances that DR.. Cooks asser-
! tions were correct.
Miss Seddle1ov went to Greenland as
governess in the family of Conrad
Dugge, factor of Danish trading post
at Upernavik. Her three years in the
north she spent travelling with the fac
tors family, becoming acquainted with
the Eskimos, attending their sick, car
ing for their babes, teaching them how
to live, learning their language.
Miss Sebblelov is now in this city a
student of Barnard University She said
last night: Il will be criticised for en-
tering into this controversy, but | know
good deal of the north and | feel that
DR.. Cook is being done a great injus-
tice. | have letters from my Eskimo
friends in Greenland written before DR..
Cook told the world of his discovery,
announcing that the brave explorer had
reached the North Pole.

A GOOD STORY
Is Cooks Narrative of Reaching the
Pole

In the remarkable story of Dr. Cooks
fight to reach the North Pole, scientists
and others have shown the greatest in
terest, and it is believed by them to go
far toward settling the heated contro-
versy as to who first reached the pole.
DR.. Theodore L. Soutel1ier, one of the
secretaries of the Philadelphia Geo
graphica Society, and who was one of
the Peary relief expedition in 1905, said
1T is a good story, and is admirable
from every point of view. 1t is well
written, and it certainly is accurate in
all details, as far as the first two install
ments go. His description of the hab
its and character and nature OF the Es-
kimos of that region is true, because
have been there hunting the walrus.
He must have been to the most north
ern settlement of the Eskimos, as his de-
scription of the place and the people is
so accurate, as we'll as his story of the
manner OF hunting The story of his
progress over water and ice is equally
comprehensive and convincing"
Dr. Henry Emerson Wetherill, who
was surgeon of the first Peary relief ex-
pedition in 1895, said: Both Peary and
Cook describe the same conditions as
existing but in DR.. Cooks statement he
should have presented other data. One
thing his story proves is that he has
done more with the few supplies he had
with him than many other explorers. +"

RICH SHOOT OF ORE
IN THE JOSEPHINE

Word was received here yesterday
that new shoot of ore had been en-
countered in the Josephine shaft At
depth of 10 feet the ore is of the
high grade that has been cut in
stringers at different points in sink
ing the shaft, but the present strike is
important as it is the largest and
most permanent ore body that has
been encountered since the shaft was
started. With the added depth there
is corresponding increase in the
value of the ore body; the shaft will
be sunk to the 200 level and drifts
will be run in both directions on the
vein at that point Cross-cuts will be
made to determine the full extent of
the vein and shoot.
That the Josephine is destined to
become a producer in the near future
is the opinion of party of mining
men of Denver who have Just made
an inspection of the property. One of
these men will return to the mine
after the 200 level is reached, and will
make detailed examination. Every
condition at the Josephine is favorable
and the supply of timber and water
is a factor that will contribute to it's
successful operation when ore enough
has been blocked out to start ship
ments.
