MEDAL FOR AMUNDSEN.
Geographic Society HOnors South Pole
DiscOvcrer at Annual Banquet.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Capt. Roald
Amundsen, the noted Norwegian ex-
plorer, was formally recognized for
the first time in the United States to-
night as the discoverer Of the South
Pole and honored for his achievement
with special gold medal by the Ma
tional Geographic Society at its an
nual banquet, where he was guest Of
honor. Beside Capt. Amundsen sat
Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary, U. S.
~, retired to whom the society two
years ago gave similar medal, recog-
nizing him as the discoverer of the
North Pole. The Amundsen medal
bears the inscriptions:
This special medal awarded by the
National Geographic Society to Capt
Roald Amundsen for his Antarctic
achievements resulting in the attain
ment Of the South Pole, December
14th, 1911"
On the other side is a chart Of the
south pole region surrounded by a
wreath of laurels with the emblem OF
the National Geographic Society at it's
base.
a distinguished company attended
the banquet to honor the distinguish
ed foreigner, who a year and a month
ago, lacking a few days, reached the
goal which many noble explor ers be-
fore him had striven for. Capt
Amundsen in replying 10 the speech Of
the presentation, mOdestly tried to
minimize his own great accomplish
ment and gave strong words Of praise
to those who had preceded him in the
Antarctic fields. When Capt. Amund-
sen arose to accept the medal a great
salvo of applause greeted him, am
| bassadors, ministers, scientists, men
prominent in many walks Of life, who
were present, joining in it.
a smile oVerspread the strong face
of the explorer as he bowed slightly
and waited for the applause to cease
Then he expressed his apepreciation of
the honor conferred upon him, thank
ing the society for its recognition.

Manning Prcsbytcrians Seek Pastor
from Louisville, Ky.

Manning, Jan. 12.-At congre-
gational meeting of the Presbyterian
Church, held this morning, for the
purpose of considering the election Of
a pastor to succeed the Rev. \. r.
Woodson, recently resigned, it was
decided to extend call to the Rev. L.
b. McCord, of Louisville, Ky. The
proper steps will be taken at once to
prosecute the call through the regular
Presbyterial channels. The Rev. Mr.
McCord was in Manning a week ago,
preaching Sunday morning in the
Presbyterian Church, and Sunday
night at union service in the Meth

IOWA COMES UP FOUR FEET
WITHIN FoRTv-EIeHT HOURS,

OVER TWO INCHES OF RAIN

Fact That There Was Little or No

This Spring.

AS result of the rains Of the past
two nights the Iowa river showed per-
ceptible rise Thursday, and during the
past forty eight hours has risen four
feet. Altho yet far from being bank
full. the waters were still rising this
morning.
In order to prevent the Overlooking
dam gates were opened by the city
Thursday. This started a strong cur
rent. with the result that most of the
ice went out rapidly
Linn creek also started rising rapid
1y Thursday but this morning was re-
ported as about stationary. The creek
is not yet bank full.
AS yet there Is no INDICATION that the
present rise Of water in the river and
creek valleys will precipitate flooding
of the lowlands. The fact that there
was little or no snow on the ground
when the rains started will probably
result in no exceptional high water.
The rains Of the past two nights
have taken from the ground practically
all Of the frost. Puddles Of water that
Thursday stood in low places had
soaked into the ground by this morn
ing.
The total rainfall during the past
forty eight hours amounts to "a
inches.

Today all but one, Edward, one of the
twin sons, aged 2, are believed to be
out Of danger Little Edwards con-

into commissions and suffered as high
as four of the spasms in single day.
Word from Mr.. James to Mr.. and

When the trouble first became APP.

seated at the table little Edward was
stricken suddenly, complaining that he
could not see. The commissions fol

at intervals. John, the twin brother,

Splendid Motion Pictures Of African
Big Game Hunt Hsrs Again.
The splendid Rainey motion pictures
of big game hunting scenes in British
East Africa. the country thru which
the Roosevelt expedition treked. were
shown again at the Odeon Thursday
night. The pictures were exhibited
here earlier in the winter. They were
shown to a good-sized matiness audi
ence Thursday afternoon, and to a
night audience that was smaller. owing
to the rain.
In many respects these pictures are
the most remarkable ever shown In
this city, not only because of the I'M
usual scenes, but because Of the ire
mendous difficulties that had to be
overcome to get the films AS might
be imagined attempts to photograph a
leopard and lion hunt, and actually get
photographs Of the hunted animals
would be nothing less than a strenuous
undertaking. But the pictures were
secured and they show hunting scenes
where both animals have turned at bay
and can be plainly seen. These are
only part of the pictures that will
prove of unusual interest to those who
love the outdoors and scenes of strange
and unusual places and animals photo
graphed in their native haunts. The
pictures are well worth any ones time
to see them.
