/ IF, during the month of February,
any inhabItant Of the planet Mars had
taken a rest from his occupation of
digging canals and turned powerful
telescope toward the planet Terra, he
would have discovered that one Of
the poles had become pole in fact
Ia small one, but nevertheless pole,
surmounted by futtering square of
silk.
The other pole the Marian would
have remem bered seeing some years
ego; but that pole, because it was
stuck into drifting ice, could not stay
in the same place, and be probably in
ferred that terrestrial continents are as
shifting and variable as his own
canals.
The discovery, or rather the attain
ment, Of the south pole, 10y the Nor
wegion explorer, Amundsen, is by no
means 80 notable al achievement as
Perry's attainment of the north pole.
1t seems not to have been difficult or
dangerous or attended with serious
hardship. The travelling was over
snow that lay fairly level. The cold
was intense, of course, but it did not
impede or seriously Inconvenience the
plucky men who have how completed
the search Of the ages for "the ends of
the earth.p
But, after all, the results OF this
last, and successful, expedition are
not important. There is a spectacular
element in the achievement, but 10th
Jog has been added to the sum of hui
man knowledge that can ever be of
practical use, nor is it likely that the
scientific information that has been
gathered viii serve any utilitarian pur-
pose
For hundreds Of years arctic expIor-
alton was undertaken TO find the north.
west passage round the top Of the
American Continent. A practicable
waterway there would have shortened
the distance between Europe and Asia.
But Captain Amundsen is the only
traveller who has ever been able to
thread that passage; and his more
than three years experience in his
ship, the Gjoa, proves that the water
way can never be commercially use
full.
Antarctic exploration has had no
such motive. The south pole is in the
midst of continent almost inaccessi
bic, and as a possession, not worth
coveting by the lsnd-hungry nation of
the earth.
1t is characteristic of the emin ent
explorer, who has sailed farther north
and been farther south than any other
navigator, that, although he will stop
now and then to write book or de-
liver lectures, he proposes to return
home to Norway by the most sensa.
tional of routes. If your geographical
knowledge does not tell the story,
look it up OH map of the world. From
rasm ania to Buenos Aires, past the
Cape of Good Hope; thence round
Cape Horn to California; to Berlng
Sea, through Bering Strait, the Arctic
Ocean, Baffin Bay and Davis Strait,
leaving Greenland en- the east-a1d
so to Christiania.
What a welcome awaits him there!

INDICTMENTS
Grand Jury's Work Is Finished and
Men Are Discharged.

The federal grand jury today re-
ported to Judge Pollock IL criminal
indictments. In all but one of the
cass, the indictments were held for ar
rest and the naz1ses sof the defendants
not made pubfic---Including the Ward
Speelman case. the grand jury this
term returned IL true bills.
William Hayes, an Atchison man,
was indicted by the grand jury for
sending defamatory post cards through
the mails. His messages were de-
tected by postoffice inspectors and
Hayes was arrested He has been un-
der arrest for several weeks and his
case was submitted to the grand jury
this week.
Members of the jury were discharg-
ed from service by Judge Pollock af-
ter the indictments sent to the court
today. Very few criminal cases of i'm
portance were considered at this term
of court and the dozen indictments
represented the work for the term.
The petit jury is still working on the
criminal docket. They will be kept
busy until Saturday, when Judge Van
Valkenberg will come to Topeka to
hear motions in the Fowler damage
suit. In case this trial is held at this
term of court, the jury will be in To-
peka a couple of weeks longer than
Contemplated. The Kaw drainage
board is not anxious to retry the Fow-
Ter case at this time and a fight will
be waged to have the action continued.

GIRL GETS BURGLAR.
Merry Young Woman Holds Intruder
Until Police Arrive.

Hutchinson, Kan, April ia few
minutes after burglar stealthily en-
tered the real estate Office of Mrs.
Winnie Skinner in this city, he was
confronted with the surprising situa-
ton of looking into the muzzle of a 81
caliber revolver in the hands of Jessie
Fulmer, a 16-year-old girl, who was
waiting in the office for Mrs. Skinner.
Mrs. Skinner and Clara Lawrence
had gone to Mrs. SINNERS home while
Miss Fulmer had been left to await
them in the darkened Office. She went
to the telephone in an adjoining room
to answer a call and as she hung up
the receiver heard some one unlock
the door. She peered into the outer
office and saw a man walk from the
door toward a desk.
The girl, seeing a revolver lying on
a table near by, picked it up and walk
ed quietly to the office door. Unnoticed
by the invader, she walked up behind
him, grabbed him by the collar and
poked the muzzle of the revolver into
his face.
The man, astounded, stood staring
at her, but obeyed when she command
ed him to sit down. With the revolver
still covering her prisoner she phoned
to the police.
Sergeant Kelsey arrested the man,
who gave his name as Harold Will
liams. He admitted having entered
the office of Mrs. Skinner several times
before, the police say.

QUARREL Over CARDS
When Mrs. Spring Objected to Game
Husband Slapped Her.

Many Auburn residents are attend
nesses in the Spring divorce suit, be-
ing tried before Judge Dana Mae H
Spring declares that her life with
Fred f. Spring was unbearable and
asks the court for a legal separation.
On the witness stand today, the
wife told the court that she had vir-
tually supported herself husband and
baby with the salary which she earned
as a school teacher. 1t was almost
impossible, she said, to persuade
Spring to work and he helped her
spend the $3.50 which she earned
each month as a teacher in the rural
school.
The womans father is a Baptist
minister. When Spring insisted on
playing cards with friends and
brought them to Mrs. Springs room
the wife objected. For her objec-
lions Spring led the woman gently to
the front porch, where he slapped
her face.
After teaching school five days in
the week, Mrs Spring said she did
the family washing on Saturday.
Usually Spring propped himself with
pillows on a chair in the kitchen and
watched his wife work Many times
her husband was offered work, Mrs.
Spring testified, but he declined to
labor. She lived with Spring under
these conditions for three years, then
asked for divorce. Spring is con-
testing the granting of a decree.
Following the trial of the Spring
case, Judge Dana will hear evidence

COOPER APPEALS CASE
He Still Denies That Euler's Advice
Was Worth SITS.

Not satisfied with the judgments
against him in the city and district
court John G.. Copper today appealed 10
the supreme court case filed against
him by H. W. Euler for attorneys
fees. The district court gave Euler
judgment for $175.
In Coopers latest matrimonial
troubles, Euler says he was retained
to defend the much married man. He
drafted a general denial and gave
Cooper much valuable legal Informal
ton. When the case was tried, Euler
was not of the defendants counsel.
Then the lawyer sued for $500. He re-
ceived judgment for that amount in the
city court, but jury in Judge Whit
combs court cut the fee to $175. Nov
Cooper believes the supreme court will
set aside the judgment. Costs in the
case already amount to $485O.
