BARGE NEEDS A RIVER.
Self Propelled Barge Finds Sand Bars
in the Way.

Muscatine, Aug. 19.-The steel barge
which went north on Aug. is now on
its way back down stream and Will ar
rive at the city some time this week.
On the trip up stream the Bernhard
craft carried an assortment of freight
from New Orleans. She was the object
of considera BILE attention at this point.
but many were tardy reaching the wa
ter front and only saw her disappear
up the river.
Just when this barge will arrive can
not be stated. 1t will be remembered
that She stuck on sand bar at
OQuawka on the way up, and was there
for several hours. The return trip may
be interrupted in the same manner. but
the curiosity will be here some time
this week.
The captain of the barge announced
on his way up that freight would be
carried south on the return trip. He
offered to beat the railroad price on
freight rates to far southern ports. Just
what success he Is experiencing on the
proposition is not known. AT any rate,
he will stop at all points for such ship
ments. Admirers Of the craft will be
given ample opportunity to view its va
rious points Of interest when she stops
here and ali should avail themselves
of this chance. - ..s

Dubuque, Aug. 1s.-H plans which
were set on foot in Chicago by Attorney
James E. Callahan are successful DR..
HaIdane Cleminson, formerly Of Du-
buque. will be pardoned out of Joliet
penitentiary, where he Is serving life
sentence for the murder Of his wife, and
will sail for Europe to Join the medical
staff Of the British army. DR.. Harry
E. Webster, another young surgeon who
Is serving sentence for similar crime
to which he has confessed, may also be
pardoned.
Governor Dunno, Secretary Bryan
and the English authorities are being
interested in the case. Mr.. Callahan
has addressed the following letter to the
English surgeon general:
I'VE are applying for the pardon of
Drs. Haldane Cieninson and HARRY F..
Webster. two young surgeons who are
under life sentences for murder Both
are expert young surgeons and have
made excellent records as prisoners.
They have been in prison for about
three years.
In conversation with them recently

engaged In war with Europe, If par

to you to inquire whether or not, IL the
governor of Illinois should grant them
pardons. you can give them work on
the field of battle.
we beg to advise you that we believe
DR.. Cleminson entirely innocent of the
charge of murder that was placed
against him. Dr. Webster confessed to
having killed his wife.
We do not hesitate to say that these
men would be credit to your surgical
STAFF and to the British flag. They are
only humans who may or may not have
erred. They are not only willing but
anxious to risk their lives If they can
by their skill, relieve the sufferings OF
their fellowmen on the battlefield,
If favorable reply is received it is
probable that the two men may be
pardoned. or rather paroled, by Gov

New York, Aug 19-The National
Polish League of America, with head
quarters at 164 East Fi.ty-third street.
has issued remarkable statement in
which it calls upon Germany to create
a new Poland extending from the Ad-
Ratio to the Black Sea and including
the Polish provinces of Prussia, Austria

is suggested as ruler who would be
acceptable to the Polish people. The
appeal says: rs. =

tries are ruled by the influence OF their
national churches. Only Germany can

realize her national aspirations.

And yet the Poles can not see the
thing in this light, for they are con-

into decay thru the influence of their

been disorganized thru religious and
foreign influences and they are told
day after day that Russia and Germany
are responsible for their misery and ig-

real reason for their decay as a ma
ton. Their religion has never been in

conditions under which they live and

London, Aug. 19-England is going
to have regiment of women. They
may have as their generals such wom-

Duchess of Marlborough. and Mrs
Pankhurst. They will resist any in
vasion of the German and Austrian
forces.
Lady Cook is. the, originator of the
plan. She has launched a stirring
campaign to put woman's army in
readiness for battle. She hopes to
have 1900 women in the army, thor
ougnly organized and well drilled, in
three months.
Lady Cook outlined her plan today.
She pointed out that the women would
be the logical defenders of the country
when the men are all away at the front.
She said: -
Our women's army must be ready
to fight and to die for Britain. l am
going to arouse the women Of England
so they will, if the time should come,
resist the invaders in a fight for their
homes, their honor, and their children

with the exception of skirts. They
probably will be knee length. started to

woman who has health and strength to
take up arms SO when all the men are
away we shall be able to defend our
homes and honor.

it became an effrontee Then I concluded that fashion rivalled the bee and the swallow in it's companionship of woman, if not man.
 Young as I was I essayed to learn some of the legends of the place, if indeed. any such should exist From the lips of my parents l had the strange. wild stories of Pigafetta, the historian of Charles Y, who supplied his monarch with an ac- count of the first voyage around the world as replete with tle wonderful and incredible as ever Munchausen or Maun- deville dared to invent and my appetite was whetted for more. But I found no legends in Punta Arenas The only thrill ling thing I heard was that of deeds of daring among the ranchmen. who, to avoid the bitter cold of the winter, drive their cattle to the foot of the Andes to shield them from the driving winds In later years, however, these same Indian ranchmen were the pathetic victims of a tragedy which bore close resemblance to the cruelties of our Neg Perces campaign
 To get rid of these indians General Roca, in the late 70 S made thousands of hi ssoldiers dig a ditch F feet wide and 15 feet deep all the way from the noun tains to the Rio Negro had them so cover the excavation with the earth taken therefrom that it's presence was not no- uceable. Then he flanked the Indians with his cavalry and drove them pell mell before him. The unsuspecting vic tins galloped into the ditch by the thou sands, where maimed, struggling masses of men, women, children and horses were piled one upon the other and many either killed by the fall or crushed to death in the struggle. Those who crawled out alive were barbarously dispatched by the sabres of the cavalrymen in true Spanish style.

clear, glimpses of the scene are as rare as they are delighting
 NotWlthstanding the inhospitality and nafdshlps Of the climate man, in search Tor metals, has penetrated this region and many mining companies have already es- tabi1shed plants upon the islands l was Stfuck With the fact that amid So much Ice ana snow were to be seen bees and swallows engaged in apparent llstless flight. It has been said that the bee and the swallow always accompany civiliza- ton and that invariably they are. ex- cepting the wild beast of the forest they are found with the pioneer and frontiers man, often his only companion. It is alleged that they are charmed with the ing Of the ax, but as I found them in Patagonia it must be man, and not the ax, that lures them. There are no trees Tn that country and moreover, mining is following with which the ax is not as- sociated.
 Aside from viewing the natural scenery that my passage through the channel af- forded, I was much interested in watch ing the myriads of seals which frequsnted the shores and the odd boats which the natives used The supply of seals seemed practically inexhaustible, for the reason that they are not sought after except by the Indians, who probably use them for food. The skins of those in the lower attitudes are commercially valueless and the higher attitudes are so far removed from civilization. that it is cheaper to ob- tain them from the source which now supplies us. The boats of the natives were of two classes-the catamaran and the canoes. The former are simply several logs lashed together with a grass rope and equipped with rudder and sometimes a sail. The water dashes completely over it., but this makes no difference as the man in the boat is completely naked de- spite the bitter coldness of the weather. The boats often go POO miles out 10 sea. The canoes are occupied by women as well as men, and all completely nude but often fire is built in this kind of boat. The natives live in their boats and only go ashore at night when they build a fire upon the rocks, and this universal custom gave the name of land of fire to Terra del Fuego.
 There really exists today no such coun- try as Patagonia. It was at one time a geographical designation, but in 1881 the country was divided between Argentina and Chile The name signifies big foot. from the enormous footprints which ex-
