Or. Cook Coming Back.

New Yark, Dec. 16-Dr. Fred
erick A. Cook, the discredlted ex-
plorer, will appear here next week,
according to messages he has sent
to his friends. DR., Cook will ar
rive from Europe, following his
self-imposed exile.
DR.. Cook has confessed that he
is not certain whether he reached
the pole or not and in tomorrow's
issue of Hampton's Magazine he
tells of his experiences.
In the article he tells of the
hardship's and trials, both men
tai and physical under which he
labored on his first trip north
ward. He declares there was lit.
tie to occupy his mind on the trip
save optical illusions.
"The mental effect [ find it
difficult TO analyze." he writes.
Some Of the exaggerated trant-
formations had the power to bring
far off objects apparently near to
US. This often caused confusion
in estimltiog distances"
DR.. Cook apparently blames all
his troubles on his mental condi-
ton, which he says, led him to
believe he had discovered the pole.

The fire was discovered about l
O'Clock by the policemen in the
southern part of town and the
alarm given. The fire department.,
which is located nearby, responded
instantly but the fire had gained
too much whe> they arrived to be
controlled. The gin had been in
operation only long enough to gin
one bale yesterday afternoon and
there was no u at the place
when the fire originated, which
indicates that the fire was either
lncendiary or resulted from the
