SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER YEAR IN ADVANGE GOVERNOR EBERHARDT MOVING CAREFULLY. The new governor is in a hard position, and realizes it. He will be on trial. To a certain extent, he is an unknown quantity as an administrator. Succeeding a popular governor, his every act will be scrutinized and he will have to make good. Under the circumstances, it is natural to suppose that he will be careful and conservative. The question of patronage is em- barrassing. There is always a large force of office seekers, ready to burst forth whenever an officce is in sight, and the new governor has al- ready been besieged with appli- cations. This announcement of his policy may be accepted by the office seekers as authoritative. In his own office, there is the position of executive clerk, still at issue. The position is held by Har- vey W. Grimmer, who is understood to be willing to continue. Mr. Grimmer has friends among the Republicans as well as among the Democrats, and strong effort is being made to have him retained by Republican leaders who like him. Governor Eberhart has said that in this position he will make no change for the present and has left his future action open.—Minneapolis Tribune. KNOWS ADVERTISING BENEFITS. The man who asked William Jen- nings Bryan whether he really .be- lieved in advertising, paid Mr. Bryan a compliment. It happened in Reading, Pa., and the modern commoner indeed showed that he was a wise man by the reply he made. It was: “The fellow who tries to attack business without advertis- ing is like the fellow who throws his sweetheart a kiss; he knows what he is doing but no one else does.”— Rochester Bulletin. SOLE REMAINING AMBITION Aldrich Eager to Assist in Improving Our Financial System. Paris, Sept. 29.—Senator Nelson W. Aldrich of Rhode Island and Professor A. P. Andrew, who are in Paris gath- ering information for the report of the American monetary commission, are the recipients of much attention here. They have been dined by M. Pallain, governor of the Bank of France; M. Cochery, minister of finance, and the heads of several im- portant French credit instituions and have had a number of interviews with financigl experts. Senator Aldrich has repeatedly informed his friends here that the sole remaining ambition of his public life is to assist in en- dowing the United States with a finan- clal system as solid as that of Great Britain or Trance. STEAMER BLOWS UP AT SEA All on Board With One Exception Re- ported Lost. Rangoon, Burmah, Sept. 29.—The British steamer Clan MacIntosh, be- longing to the Madras Stcam Naviga- tion company, is reported to have blown up at sca.

THRILLIXG STORY CF SHIPWRECK Rescued Sailers Had Desper- ate Fignt for Life. Philadelphia, Sept. 29.—Eight men were drowned and sceven had a nar- row escape from death by the founder- Ing of the Norwegian steamer Gere six miles from the Winter Quarter Iightship, fifty miles south of the Del- aware capes. The seven men who were saved arrived here on the Brit- ish steamer Arroyo, which took them: from the lightship. The men saved are Julius Meyer. the captain, and six seamen. They are now in the care of the Norwegian consul in this ecity. ‘The men tell a thrilling story of ship- wreck in which every one was for himself. The Gere, bound for Cuba with a cargo of coal, enceuntered rough ‘weather soon after passing the Dela- ‘ware capes ard finally went over on her side. The boats had been swept away and there was nothing for the men to do but jump into the sea. The stronger ones managed to reach one of the ship’s boats, but the others went down one by cne. The little craft had no oars, but the shipwrecked men attached a small sail and guided the boat the best they could and soon came near enough to the lightship to be taken on board by the lonely sen- tinels of the sea who spend their life on the lightship. HARRY WHITNEY AT ST. JOHNS Hunter Gives His Version of Pole Controversy. WAS BOUND TO. SECRECY| Dr. Cook Told Him He Had Reached the Earth’s Northern Extremity, but Pledged Him Not to Tell Com- mander Peary—Reiterates S8tat. ment That Peary Refused to Allow Cook’s Belongings on Board the Roosevelt. St. Johms, N. F., Sept. 20.—The Are- tic vessel Jeannie, with Harry Whit- noy, the New Haven big game hunter, on board, has arrived here from the Greenland coast by way of Indian Har- bor, Labrador. Mr. Whitney was questioned regard- ing the statements made to him by Dr. Cook in Greenland. He said Cook arrived at Annatok in April of this year and declared that he had reached the North pole a year before. He pledged ‘Whitney, however, not to tell Commander Peary, who was to be -in- formed only that Cook had gone far- ther north than Peary’s previous rec- ord, 87 degrees 6 minutes. Continu- ing, Dr. Cook told Whitney that he had accomplished all he expected to and more besides and that he was through with the Northern country. ‘Whitney did not communicate the lat- ter part of this statement to Peary. Continuing, Whitney sald that Cook had complained to him of Peary’s tak- ing over of his house and stores, but declared that he had suffered no un- fairness. After spending two days at Anna- tok, where Cook first met Whitney, Cook started for Etah. Whitney ac- companied him. Cook remained for three days at Etah organizing for his trip south to Upernavik, Cook Had No Time to Lose. The doctor had figured out rightly the date that he would likely get to Upernavik and when the Dundee whalers on the Danish storeships would reach there and he argued that he had no time to lose. He planned originally to take two Eskimos and two sledges, but one Eskimo fell sick and this made it necesgary for him to cut down the luggage he could take with him south. Dr. Cook consequently asked Whit- ney to take charge of the instruments with which Cook had made observa- tions at the pole. There were three cases, one containing a sextant, an- other an artificlal horlzon and the third an instrument which Mr. Whit- ney seid he could not recall. It pos- #ibly might have been a chronometer. Cook left no written records with ‘Whitney that Whitney is aware of. There may have been some records, however, in the other boxes in which Cook packed his clothes and his per- sonal effects, but Cook did not tell ‘Whitney especially that he was leav- ing any written records with him. Mr. Whitney was very positive about this. After Cook departed for the South ‘Whitney resumed his hunting. Ha took over Cook’s two Eskimos, Etu kishula and Arwalaly, to show him the country where Cook had shot musk oxen. This the two men did and Whitney bagged all the oxen he could carry out in his sledges. He said he found these two Eskimos to be quite satisfactory in subordinate capacities, but he knows nothing of their value in a dash across the Polar sea. Did Not Tell Peary All. Mr. Whitney said that last month ‘when Peary, on board the Roosevelt, reached Etah from the North after the winter’s work there Whitney in- formed Peary of Dr. Cook’s arrival in April, adding that Cook had told hira (Whitney) to tell Peary that Cook had gone beyond Peary’s farthest north. Peary made no comment on this. Whitney said he was rot asked an yother questions by Peary. So far a8 Mr. Whitney is aware Cook’s Eski- mos never admitted that while with the doctor they had only progressed two “sleeps” from land. The day the Roosevelt was leaving Etah for home Whitney informed Peary that Cook had entrusted to ‘Whitney certain belongings to bring home on the vessel that was coming up for Whitney, but as this ship had not arrived Whitney was at a loss ‘what to do with this property. Peary declined to permit Dr. Cook’s belongings to be brought aboard the Roosevelt and put Whitney on honor not to include anything belonging to Dr. Cook in Whitney’s own luggage. CONDEMNS PUBLIC SCHOOLS French Episcopate lIssues Pastoral ! Letter to Catholics. Paris, Sept. 20.—The French epis- copate has issued a pastoral letter warning Catholic parents in France that the teachings in the public schools jeopardize the faith of chil- dren. The letter condemns especially co-educatlon, saying that the “mixture of the two sexes is contrary to moral- ity and unworthy a civilized people.’ The letter forbids speoifically the use of a score of public school text books, principally histories, and ap- peals to parents to unite in protection of the faith. BAID TO BE WORLD BEATER Jap Aeroplane Capable of Going Over Sixty Miles an Hour. Washington, Sept. 20.—With charac- teristic secrecy the Japanese have been busily developing a military aero- plane at Hakodate which is said to be a “world beater.” ‘While Glenn H. Curtiss was win- ning the Case-international cup with & speed of six miles in something less than nine minutes, since which Hubert Latham has made a mile a minute for seven minutes, the little brown men of the Far East haye developed & bird- like craft that attained a speed of sixty-eight miles an hour. This is the fastest on record for aerial navigation. CANDIDATE FOR RE-ELECTION District Attorney Jerome Files Neces- sary Petition. ~ New York, Sept. 29.—District Attor- ney Willlam ‘Travers Jerome has filed the necessary petition with the bureau WILLIAM T. JEROME. of elections endorsing his candidacy for re-election. Two thousand names are necessary for an irdependent nom- ination petition, but Mr. Jerome sent in 5,000. TRIES TO SHOW GOOK DID NOT REACH POLE Peary Submits Further Evidence to General Hubbard, Bar Harbor, Me, Sept. 29.—Com- mander Robert E. Peary and General Thomas H. Hubbard, president of the Peary Arctic club, were again in con- ference over the Peary proofs to show that Dr. Cook did not reach the North pole. It was said that the conference ‘would probably continue all day. Commander Peary is anxious to make a full statement of the whole matter, but this will hardly be done until the officers of the Peary Arctic club have passed on the statement. The proofs which Commander Peary will offer are of various character, some of which in a court of law would be described as direct evidence, while other proofs depend entirely on de- ductions from certain given facts. The equipment and expedition of Dr. Cook will be described in detail and with the alleged accomplishment in travel- ing to the pole and return will be com- pared the work of each expedition of Peary and other Arctic explorers. Dr. Cook’s experience with Arctic expeditions and his method of keep- ing the records and his disposition of them in part to Whitney, a stranger to him, will play no small part in Commander Peary’s statement. It is a combination of circumstances and faith, which, in their strength, Commander Peary believes will cut the ground from under Dr. Cook’s claim. GENTRY THREATEN REVOLT Object to Chinese Loan of $30,000,000 - to Foreign Bankers. Peking, Sept. 29.—The viceroy of ‘Wuchang, in Hupeh province, reports to Peking that the Hukuang gentry threaton a rebellion if the Hankow- Bzechuen railroad loan of $30,000,000 to foreign bankers is executed without revision. The Hupeh gentry are electing dele- gates to come to Peking and protest. Peking newspapers are publishing car- toons depicting the humiliation of China on account of the loan.

SOME NEWSPAPERS UNFAIR President Declares Section; of Press Has Drawn Wrongful Inferences. as to the Attitude of His Administra- tion in This Matter—Says Ballinger Is in Accord With Him: and -Praises Chief Forester Pinchot. Spokane, Wash., Sept. 29.—In a 8peech on the conservation -of natural | resources - delivered here President Taft declared that he would ask con- gress to authorize the issuance of $10, 000,000 in bonds to complete irrigation projects which had already been be- gun in the West and on work which had been stopped for lack of funds. This has been the hope of many set- tlers in the arid regions who had taken up lands in expectation of pro- curing a supply of water to make them fertile and the president’s declaration was enthusiastically cheered. The president declared that many newspapers had drawn unfair infer- ences as to the attitude of his admin- istration on the general conservation of natural resources. “The truth is,” he said, “my admir istration is pledged to follow out the policies of Mr. Roosevelt in this re- gard and while that pledge does not involve me in any obligation to carry them out unless I have congressional authority to do so it does require that I take every step to exert every legiti- mate influence upon congress to enact the legislation which shall best sub’ serve the purpose indicated.” The president declared that Secre- tary of the Interior Ballinger is in accord with him as to the necessity for promoting, in every legitimate ‘way, the conservation of natural re- sources, Praise for Chief Forester. The president also had praise for Chief Forester Gifford Pinchot and re- ferred to Pinchot’s “wonderful work for the conservation of the forests, supported by Mr. Roosevelt.” President Taft declared as to water power sites that congress must au- thorize the government to allot these sitss to private interests for develop- ment, the government retaining gen- eral control and supervision. He declared also that he would urge upon congress the necessity of an au- thoritative classification of public lands to prevent difficulties of the past, such as the setting aside of coal and mineral lands as agricultural lands and vice versa. The president sat up on his train until after midnight dictating his speech. He consulted freely with BSecretary Ballinger before beginning work on the address and again when the rough draft had been completed. On his arrival here the president ‘was ‘welcomed by Governor M. E. Hay, - = Mayor Pratt, Serator Wesley L. Jones, Congressman Poindexter, Pres- ident F. E. Goodwell of the Spokane chamber of commerce and E. H. Esh- ggmn of the entertainment commit- The president walked to a waiting automobile and was conveyed to a restaurant for breakfast. The Four- teenth cavalry and.the Spokane police marched at the head of the column. It was one continuous cheer from the time the president left the station. After breakfast the presidential party was taken on an automobile ride ahout the city. Robbers Left Hie Underwear.

There was a pain in my back and during the early part of the day I felt lanquid and tired. I decided to try a reliable kidney remedy, went to the Owl Drug Store, and procured a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills. I used them accord- ing to directions, when the pains disappeared and the tired, lanquid feeling vanished.
