favored with the tickets and some
of them will even have tables,

CAPT. AMUNDSEN
TELLS OF TRIP
TO SOUTH POLE

Captain RoaId Amundsen, dis
covererSof the South Pole, was
greeted by an audience at the Ia
coma theater last night that
packed the building to the roof.
After Introductory words of well
come by Governor Lister and
Mayor Seymour, Captain Amund-
sen launched into his story of the
South pole.
To begin with, he knocked the
theory about the bad luck at
tending Friday the 18th into a
cooked hat. He made his final
dash to the pole with 13 dogs,
started on Friday, got there on
Friday, started back on Friday
and came home safe.
The lecture was wildly illus
trated by moving pictures taken
on the trip.

One of the most interesting
features was the display Of Ant
arctic animal life. the seals, pen
gums and other animals, and a
school of whales following the
ship. Having never seen man be-
fore, they were not afraid, and
mingled with the explorers on
perfectly friendly terms.
Captain Amundsen told of
meeting the Scott expedition, de-
scribed the route taken by the
dead Englishman, and also that
of the Japanese expedition.
In his entire lecture he never
used the personal pronoun. 1t

CAN INDIANS WHO
BUY LIQUOR VOTE

OLYMPIA, April 5.-W. v.
Tanner, attorney general, may
soon have an interesting question
to solve, for writer at Hob, in
Jefferson county, wants to know
if an Indian who buys tobacco or
whisky does not thereby acquire
the right to vote.
- The theory of the correspon-
dent Is that since the government
taxes tobacco and whisky, all buy
ers of the same are taxed, and
that, inasmuch as Indians who are
taxed can vote, therefore the buy
ing of whisky or tobacco auto
matically makes Indians voters.

South America a Big Market.

South America has long been accounted
one of the best markets in the world for
the producers of the United States, anu
the latter have many times been roundly
blamed for neglecting to avail themselves
of l. g fine opportunities offered them in
the South American countries. The bur-
den of the reports of most of our consular
REPRESENTATIVES in that part of the globe
has for years been the failure of our buSi
ness men to take proper steps to develop
trade with South America The consuls
to be desired but certainly their efforts
have borne a good deal of fruit, for COM
nerce between the United States and
South America has been rapidly increas-
ing.
According to government statistics, ex-
ports from the United States to South
America in the fiscal year 1913 will ne
about s15O. 600. 600, as compared with only
s41 Oo0 600 in 1903, s33 100000 in 1888, and s3O
OeOcOo in 1873 The imports from South
America to this country during the fiscal
year 1913 will approximate s240, 900,
against s1G7o0o.Oo0 in 1903. 100000 iii
1898 ST. 100000 in 1SS3 and s67. 900, 600 in 1873
TIE growth of our exports to South
America during the last decade has been
more rapid than the growth in imports
from that continent, and especial interests
attaches to the fact that manufactures
from over S5 per cent of the total mer-
chantise sent from the United States tc
South America, though they form but
about 81 per cent of those sent to Europe
| The growth in exports to South America

Everything jolly. People flocked to

it. Take your girl to the park and

The figure eight, which requires an
encircling arm to hold your girl
breathless dip is the most thrilling
ride in town. Then there's the dance
hall; the floor is new and good. An
orchestra plays two-steps, waltzes and
polkas. If you're daring, you attempt
the turkey trot.
There's a picnic ground and refresh

FEARED VERDICT OF JURY
Declared Guilty With Report to
Court Today.
Used Poison Is Theory Ad-
vanced by Officers.

Alma. Kansas. May 17.-That he
chose DEATH rather than face the ver-
dict of a Jury in the case in which he
was charged with murder, is the belief
of local officers with regard to Paul
Roberts. who was found dead in his cell
this morning by Sheriff Otto G.
Swanziger. Roberts is believed to have
taken his own life. A postmortem ex-
animation will be held late this AFTER
noon to determine the cause of death.
For three days testimony in the
Roberts case has occupied the atlel-
ton of a jury in JuC-se r. C. Helzer 5
court. After twelve hours spent IN al
punent5 the case was finally submitted

Roberts was charged with the muir

Mullins and because he was paid to DO
If Mullins was captured in Missouri
and is now awaiting trial for pelnS
accessory before the fact of the kill
ing. His case probably will be trled
at the next term of the court.
When Roberts was taken back to jail
last night after his case had been SUD
mitted he was apparently in good
health. An examination this morning
proved that there had been no violence
in causing death. If he killed himself II
was by using some kind of poison, and
the postmortem examination is ex-
pected to show the nature OF the
poison. Sheriff Swanziger is at loss
to explain how the poison might nave
gotten into his hands.
The trial of the case has been one
of the most bitterly contested legal
battles in the history of Wabaunsee
county But the evidence is said to
have been overwhelmingly against the
defendant The case has aroused a
great deal of local feeling, the VIC
