Coal at WilsonviIle Denied.

We were startled by a report
Thursday morning that a four-foot
vein OF anthracite coal was discover
ed at WilsOnyille on the site OF the
proposed dam. Further investiga-
tion, however, revealed that nothing
but sandstone had been found so far.
Bores have gone down to the depth
of so feet in some places but not
anything in the nature of coal has
been brought to the surface, accord
ing to a statement made by engin-
GERS in charge OF the drilling.

DR.. Cook at Lyric Monday, Feb. 20.

Dir. Cook at Lyric Monday, Feb. 20.
1t has remained for DR.. Frederick
a. Cook, himself to make the most
sensational charges of the entire
Polar controversy.
Declaring that he left this country
at the height of the proPeary cam
paign against him, because of nerv-
GUS and physical breakdown, and be-
cause Of a desire to rest and gain
time to marshal the proofs of his Po-
lar claim, and to secure evidence ex-
posing dishonest and fraudulent
methods in the campaign against
him, DR.. Cook now finally comes back
with startling charges against Mr.
Peary.
In making these charges DR.. Cook
processes regret that he is compelled
to reveal the unwritten pages of
Arctic history which concern his
rival.
Mention is made of certain facts
concerning Mr.. Peary," says Dr.
Cook, because, only by knowing
these things, can people understand
the spirit and character of the man,
and the INSCRIPTIONS attacks made
upon me, and understand, also, why,
out of a sense of delicacy and a dis
like of mud-slinging, l remained ST.
lent so long"
The weaving Of the leprous blan-
ket of infamy with which Peary and
his supporters attempted to cover me
cannot be understood unless we look
through Peary's eyes-regard other
explorers as he regarded them; re-
gard the North as his inalienable
property as he did, and regard his
infamous, high-handed injustices as
right
Il have now decided to uncover
the incentive OF this one-sided fight
to which l have so long maintained a
non-attacking attitude.
Now that the storm has spent it's
force; now that the hand which did
the mudslinglng has within it's grasp
the unearned gain which it sought;
now that a clear point of observation
can be presented, l am compelled,
with much reluctance and distate, to
reveal the unpleasant and unknown
past of the man who tried to ruin
me; showing how INSCRIPTIONS and
brutal he was to others before me;
with evidence in hand, l shall re-
veal how he wove his web of defama-
tion and how his friends conspired
with him in the darkest, meanest and
most brazen conspiracy in the history
OF exploration.
in doing this, my aim is not to
challenge Mr.. Peary's Polar claim
but to throw light on unwritten
pages of history, which pages fur.
nish the key to unlock the long-clos.
ed door of the Polar controversy
and the pro-Peary conspiracy.
"By wire-pulling and lobbying he
succeeded in having the American
Navy pay him an unearned salary
Such a man could not afford to di.
vide the fruits of Polar attainment
with another"
DR.. Cook will give an illustrated
lecture at the Lyric Monday evening
February 26.

Men Favored to Teach Girls.

Arguments as to whether men or women should be employed to educate girls are being heard great deal nowadays. Many women think men teachers exert a greater influence on girls and make them do more study ing. Others contend women teachers have a more refining influence. T am tired" said one man, "of the con stant demand for women as gover- nesses for girls. I am convinced gov ernesses have narrowing influence on girls, whereas well-trained men have a broadening mental influence. It is true the majority of studies may be taught more effectively by men and that their minds are more log ical. It is true women may have greater tact, more sympathy than men, but in the training of children the mans mind, being broader, has a more lasting influence. ."-Pittsburg Dispatch.

ROOStyFLTS CAMPAIGN FUND.

It is now well known that Roose- velt's packer in this fight for the Republican nomination is nothing less than the great Steel Trust,
 which is a more powerful organiza- ton than the Standard Oil. They are paying Roosevelt's bills, paying postage on his literature. hiring special cars and automobiles and doing everything that money can do to insure his nomination. Roosevelt himself is endeavoring g to create the impression that his fight against Taft is the result of popular demand on the part of the Republican voters, for his nomina- tion, but that popular demand is created entirely by the enormous corruption fund of millions Roosevelt not only left this great trust unharmed when he pros ecuted the other trusts, but he act ually helped the Steel Trust to swallow it's only rival and eompeti- tor. the Tennessee Coal and lror Co.,. and Roosevelt actually prom ised the trust that he would no interfere with the consolidation which made the Steel Trust the most powerful corporation thi: country has ever produced.

ALWAYS DEMAND FOR TEETH
One Of Pawnbrokers' Best Lines, and Incidentally Boon to the Poor
 of Big City.

A ghastly little heap of false teeth both upper and lower sets, lay in 2 corner of the pawnbroker's window amongst secondhand shoes, rusty flat irons, old clocks and so on.
 Any safe for secondhand false teeth?" the pawnbroker cried Why bo, there aint a more saleable com modity going I'll advance money on good upper set of false teeth as quick as on gold watch"
 Just then an old woman in a dingy black shawl entered.
 Let me look at the false teeth in the window-an upper set" she said.
 The pawnbroker with wink at the reporter, brought out three double handfuls of teeth. These the poor old woman placed, one set after another, in her sunken mouth The sixth set she pronounced good fit. Paying for 1t with dimes and nickels out of. a worn purse, she departed contentedly, the teeth wrapped i'll a piece of news paper.
 "Oh, I tell ye.'' said the pawnbroker jubilantly, there's nothin' like second hand teeth. 1 only gave 30 cents on that set, and l get one and a quarter for it. Not bad profits, hey?'

HAD A NAUTICAL CHRISTENING
Sea Captain Knew Only One Form of Ceremony and Did His Duty as
 He Saw It.

Some years ago slow sailing yes sel, when some 600 miles out from Liverpool, picked up lusty young ster of five years dashed to a mast.
 The captain took a great liking tC him, called him his son and decided that the little chap must be christ. ened-one of the few things which ae know must be attended to in the case of children
 Of course there was no chaplain aboard, so the captain himself under. took the ceremony. He gathered the nen about him, and with mixed knowledge of his duties he glare6 lbout him and asked whether any one knew just cause why the boy should not be christened.
 If there is,' he roared, speak up like a man or forever hold your tongue"
 Then he suddenly cracked a bottle of wine above the boys head and christened him.
 The ocean waif is now settled down "a steady longshoreman, but he still relates with satisfaction the story of his christening.
