EN ROUTE TO PETERSBURG
p. j. ALeER SIGHTS THE RUSSIAN CUTTERS THAT ARE GEEK.
 ING N. E. PASSAGE.

! Captain Kieinschmidt of the P. J. | AIbrr states that they saw the Rus sian cutters which are now on the
 way to try to reach St. Petersbure from t:erilr sea by way of the water
 around the north coast of Siberia. The story of this attempt was published In the Nuggc, before but the names of
 the cutters are now given for the first time and also the names of the com
 ma ndrrs who will receive world wide fame should they succeed. Captain
 kicinschmidt tells the following story
 of his trip yince he left Nome:
 We left Nome July 10 to go to St.
 Michael to meet i've sportsmen com
 ing down the river with the Conner
 cial Club party. Their names are pr.
 <. Han Young. Dr. Arthur Biting. MT. lIrhulI. MT LorvinR and Mir. Collins.
 We left St. Michael on July ts for
 Sucrin where we discovered a new
 specie of mountain sheep. At Plover Hay we met two Russian icebrea kcrs
 under command of Capt. Novopash' cnny and Baron von Huhne who will try and reach St. Petersburg by way
 of the N. E. passage Then we pro-
 ,cctlcd into the Arctic and at Cape | t'nikin on July 29 we broke our rud-
 der which compelled us to return to
 Tort Clarence. A favorable wind and good rudder helped us to get into
 Teller on July 3I. On August 8 we again left for the Arctic on our polar
 bear hunt and walrus hunt. We had
 n great hunt within 6 miles of Herold
 isln nd bagging five polar bear. Then | the ice closed in on lis rather tight and we had to buck for fifty miles | through tho pack to get into open
 water again. Skirting the pack we
 saw thousands of walrus and the
 sportsmen bagged four or five walrus
 each. We finally struck the Siberian
 coast between Cape Vancouver and Cape North and then extricated our selves from the ice pack and steaming along the Siberian coast returned to
 Nome.

 disagrceable. Never before have I
 found such bcastIy weather In the ice.
 Our hunt was n great success as we ! obtained ail tho walrus and polar bear we came tO hunt. From Nome We will go to the Alaska Peninsula to

RETURNING ON VISIT,
SERVED WITH SUMMONS

Sara F. Loomis has filed suit in
the district court against E. NJ. Ward
and Laura e. Ward for a promissory
note of 5000 made in 1888. The
Wards are here on a visit from Van
ornine, Ill. The plaintiff in the
suit asserts that the Wards signed
the note in 1888, for one year, and
that since that time no part of the
note has been paid. The defendants.
she says in her petition, have been
absent from the state 20 years. Soon
after they arrived in Abilene the
suit was filed and the summons serv-
ed. The note was signed in Abilene.
The fact that the defendants have
been absent from the state would
make the note good. Hurd and Hurd
represent the plaintiff, who lives IN

Road to River Bridge
Will Be Graveled

Roughly estimated, the cost OF
grading and gravellng the road that
leads from the bridge a mile and a
half south Of town to Buckeye av-
enue. would be $1,000. This does
not mean a road that is "graveied"
by having loads of gravel dumped
on the highway in the hope that the
road will grade and wear itself
down properly; It means road that
is properly graded, graveled and
crowned with six-inch gravel lay
er. This is the estimate, roughly
made, of Kenyon Riddle, city engi-
neer. Mr.. Riddle said this morning
that he had not investigated the
matter or taken any data but that
this was a good estimate for a mile
and a half OF good gravel road. A
mile and half is the approximate
distance from town to bridge.

the work and pay for grading and
graveling the road from the Rock
Island tracks to the township line,
about half mile >ut, the township
and county would usite to finish
the rest of the distance. At the
present time the road leading from
the bridge to town is graveIed q
short distance, between an eighth
and a half mile.
Sand for the work could be OBJ
tanned from the Holton place, out
south, and is OF excellent quality.
Much OF the expense of the road
work would hinge OF. the method OF
getting and hauling the sand to the
places to be worked. Should this
road be worked according to pro-
posal 1t would make a fine highway

ordered in as far south on Buckeye

rem church last evening. The lec-
ture room of the church was well

Miss Northcraft conducted the

object of a teacher training course Is
to give the teacher a knowledge of
how to present the lessons, to ask

a knowledge of the child's nature
and special needs. This course also
instructs Sunday school officers how
to grade up the work with the day
schools and hold the interest of the |
throughout the course. Ev-

II will be, the road will be contin-

ment was made recently by one Of

that electric cars will be running
into Salina about the end of the

AT the present time the line has
been completed almost from Man
haitian to Fort Riley, and the men
back of the system say that they
will have cars running from Man
haitian to Fort Riley before the end
of the year. This will make 1t pos
sible for them to get into Junction
City over the Fort Riley interurban,
and as rapidly as possible they Will
complete their own line, although
they will start service between Man
haitian and Junction City as soon as
they reach Fort Riley.
Should this line between these,
two towns prove to be successful,
