THE MARKET REPORT
Daily market letter from the M.
L. Williams Commission company,
Coates block, Flattsmouth, Neb.:
Wheat The market on wheat
was weak from the start today and
closed near the low price. It ral
lied a little during the trading and
slumped slightly. Findley-Barrell
and Bartlett-Patton were selling.
The decline in wheat was attributed
to the report of John Inglis, who
has Just returned from a trip
through the corn and wheat belt.
Corn Declined from the opening,
caused from some of the commission
bouses becoming active sellers of
the product. Ware and Leland
were good buyers on the decline.
Oats Seemed to be in sympathy
somewhat with corn and wheat, al
though September oats closed c
"higher than the opening. The farther
months were lower at the close.

MOTORS
COLLIDE
Mrs. Alfred Johnson of Louisville In
jured in Street Car Collision.
Commissioner's
. Proceedings
From the Omaha Bee we
that Mrs. Alfred Johnson of Louis
vllle, Neb., was hurt and two street
cars badly damaged Wednesday
morning when a Hanscom park car
and a Harney car crashed into each
other at Sixteenth and Harney
streets. Both cars were in charge
of strike breakers, who fled after the
accident. Conductor Hall of the
Hanscom park car was also Injured,
but fled without waiting to have his
wounds dressed.
The collision was caused by the
failure of the crew on the Harney
car to wait for the Hanscom park
car to pass the crossing. When the
passengers saw the collision was
about to happen they scurried for
the doors and most of them got out
safely.
Mrs. Johnson was In Omaha for
medical treatment and she was on
her way to Dr. C. C. Allison's office.
She was struck on the right side and
severely hurt. She was taken to Dr.
Allison's office in the police ambu

New York, Sept. 23. At the Waldorf-Astoria
last night Dr. Frederick
A. Cook submitted cheerfully to one
of the severest cross-examinations
since he announced his discovery of
the North pole. The ordeal of the In
terview, which was conducted by
newspaper reporters, including many
foreign newspapers, proved at least
that Dr. Cook was not afraid to meet
the public. Incidentally, the city of
New York ofllclully recognized his

From Kansas City.
We received a letter this morning
from Mrs. M. A. Bates, who la with
R. A. and wife at the Thornton &
Minor hospital at Kansas City. She
reports the patients in good spirits,
and that R. A. will be operated upon
today, and says no serious results
are apprehended by the attendants.
Mrs. R. A. Bates' operation has been
postponed for a week or ten days,
and no serious results, the doctors
report, are apprehended In her case.
Both have great courage and explicit
confidence in Dr. Minor, who will
perform both operations In person,
Cook '8
answers did not differ In a great
degree from his original recital.
Some slight details were cleared .up,
however, which throw light on the
way in which the polar dash was ef
fected. The most Interesting phase of the
interview was reached' when Dr. Cook
was asked If he would object to show
ine his diary. He Immediately con
sented and after retiring to his room,
returned with a small octave note
book, which he showed freely to all.
It was a thin book, containing 176
pages, each of which was filled with
fifty or sixty lines of penciled writing
in the most minute characters. The
book, he said, contained considerably
more than 100,000 words, while he has
besides other books embracing his ob
servations and other data.
Replies Without Hesitation.
As question after question was
asked, whether it was of a trivial
nature or of a more serious trend, Dr.
Cook answered In a low voice without
assisted by others. Mrs. M. A. Bates hesitation, as though in full possession
will remain until both are onerated of all his facts
upon.

indicated that the polar traveler's

minute particulars. Occasionally, when
a question was long and complicated,
he asked for Its repetition.
Not until then did he refuse to reply,

Some ef the Questions.
Some of the most Important ques
tions put to Dr. Cook during the In
terview and bis replies thereto follow:
Q Will you describe In detail any
single observation taken by you at
the North pole with the exact figures
of the results and the corrections sp
oiled?
A Not at this present moment. We
will describe every one of them in de
tail when they go to the University
of Copenhagen. They will go there
within two months. The entire rec
ords will be delivered to the unlver
sity and after that they will go to
everybody that wants to examine
them.
Q In your original narrative, as
published in the New York Herald,
ou said: "The night of April 7 was
made notable by the swinging of the
sun at midnight over the northern ice.
Our observation on April 6 placed the
camp In latitude 86:36, longitude 94:2.
The astronomers say that In the lati
tude you mention the midnight sun
would have been visible on April 1
and that If you fully saw It for the
first tjnie on April 7, you must have
been 650 miles from the pole, instead
of as you suppose. Therefore to have
reached the pole on April 21 you
would have had to travel thirty-nine
miles daily. What Is your explanation
of the apparent discrepancy?
A In the first place, It Indicates
the point I have taken; nobody can
nronounce judgment on a matter of
this kind until they get the complete
record. The northern horizon at m!d-
njght hnd been so obscured that we
could' not tell whether the sun was
below the horizon or above It. We
were not making observations at mid
ntirM. Therefore this statement Is
based on the fact thut we have said
thnt It was possible to see the sun
on mlilnleht of that day. I have not
looked through the Herald's story as
It has been written out In full. My
Impression is that we were absolute
ly unable to see the sun the midnight
hpfnm that. The horizon was ob
scored.
