WIFE'S RESIDENCE NO HELP.
Homesteader Loses Claim i nough Better -
ter Half Lived on It Continuously.
Rapid City , S. D. , Sept. 4. Acting
Commissioner S. V. Proudflt , of the
general land office , has handed down
a decision in a case sent up from the
Rapid City land office , refusing to ac
cept the proof of a claim filed upon
by a Sioux City photographer. The
decision establishes , in brief , that a
man's wife cannot establish residence
on a claim. It was brought out In the
testimony that his wife had made the
claim her continuous residence since
August 7 , 1907 , but that the husband
had been absent two or three months
at a time , and on one occasion six
months. Commissioner Proudfit says :
"Residence under homestead laws
must be established by the personal
act of the entryman. Residence on a
homestead must be in person and can *
not be by proxy , even by a member
of the entryman's family. Residence
under the homestead law cannot be es
tablished by the acts of another. "
This decision Is only another manl-
festltatlon of the determination of the
general land office to bo more strict
In requiring literal compliance with
the provisions of the homestead law.

CANNON MAY COME.
Sees Chance to Get Hearing Before
People Through Nebraska Primaries.
Lincoln , Sept. 4. Speaker Camion
wants to conic to Nebraska and mix in
the fight for congress next year. Ho
has written to former Congressman
Pollard proffering his services. Pol
lard was beaten In the First Nebraska
district last year by Congressman Ma-
gulro. One of the causes of his defeat
was his friendship for Cannon. The
speaker had taken Pollard up and
given him an acceptable and Impor
tant assignment on the agricultural
committee , and Pollard declined to
take and stand against Cannon or
pledge himself that , If elected , he
would vote against him for speaker.
Ho lost the district , normally republi
can by 3,500 , Magulro beating him by
nearly 1,000.
It is not known whether the proffer
was to help Pollard In his fight for the
republican nomination. George E. To-
bey , the leading candidate for the
place against Pollard , has taken an
open stand against Cannon , pledging
himself not to vote for him for speaker
and It Is figured out that Cannon's prof
fer goes to the primary fight , as there
he will have a chanre to defend him
self before Nebraska audiences.

ers In a locality close to Wayne are
rolling a racy bit of news about one of

man kept hid in a cornfield all night ,

in his buggy , noticed her plight and
Inquired the trouble. Upon being told
her difficulty the kind farmer wrapped

months' run of ' "The Third Degree"
at the Hudson theater , New York.
The story deals with tno misfortunes
that befall Howard Jeffries , Jr. , son of
a wealthy member of the Knickerbock
er set , following his marriage to a
young woman far his Inferior In the
social scale. Young Jeffries is dis
owned by his father. Poverty and deg
radation stares him in the face and he
visits a former college friend In his
apartment for the purpose of nego
tiating a loan with which to finance a
scheme he has In mind. The untimely
death of his friend , occurring under
strange circumstances while he Is on
the premises , and his being found in a
drunken stupor and arrested by the
police , serve to introduce his wife and
other characters that fit Into the play
In a most natural manner
The police compel young Jeffries to
undergo the sweating process of "tho
third degree , " and by reason of undue
influence , he is forced to coiffess that
he is the author of the crime. His
young wife calls upon her father-In *
lav/ for aid to dear his son of the vll *
charge , but Instead of being encou
aged , she is rebuffed. The rebuff only
serves to make her the more * deter
mined in her efforts to sate him her
self. Through her persistency and
woman's ingenuity , she enlists the aid
of the greatest lawyer In New York ,
who , being struck with the psychology
leal points of interest in the case , un
dertakes It without accepting as much
as a "thank you" as his retainer.
From this point the play assumes a
metaphysical phase a treatment
trernely novel and daring.
The cast is composed of the follow
ing well known players : Paul Ever
ton , Malcolm Duncan , Fernanda El
Iscu , E. A. Eberle , Irene Oshler , Al
fred Moore , T. L. Coleman , Francis
Bonn , H. H. Forseman , A. H. Symmons
and Ralph Ramsay.
Cook , as Youth , Drove Milk Cart.
New York , Sept. 4. What , manner of
man is Frederick Albert Cook of
Brooklyn , that he should plunge Into
the trackless north unaccompanied by
a white companion and come back
with the laurels of the world's great
est discoverer ?
"A strong-minded man with a per
sonal ambition and the courage to win
It , " his friends characterize him.
From driving a milk wagon over a
Brooklyn route at $5 a week to discov
ering the north pole has not been such
a far cry for Dr. Cook , for he Is but 44
years of age now.
Dr. Cook was born of German par
entage at Callcoon Depot , N. Y. , In
June , 1865 , and came to Brooklyn
when he was 1C years old , determined
to do "something worth while , " as he
put It.
Young Cook worked hard In the
early morning hours on his milk route
and saved enough money to go through
the University of the City of New
York , where he took his medical de
gree. Even then ho plodded on In the
offices of the dairy , which Is still run
In Brooklyn under the name of Cook
Brothers. He made his work finance
him In gaining a higher education , this
time graduating from the College of
Physicians and Surgeons with high
honors.
Dr. Cook Is a splendid specimen of
physical manhood. Ho Is 5 feet O'.fc
Inches tall , weighed 170 pounds on the
day he left New York , more than two
years ago , and has the same ruddy
complexion as when he loft his fa
ther's farm at Calllcoon Depot. His
nose Is Roman , his chin resolute and
the entire face denotes strength of
purpose. He speaks Gormnn , , French ,
Italian and English , fluently.
First Experience In 1891.
Dr. Cook's first experience In search
ing for the north polo was as surgeon
and ethnologist in the first Peary expe
dition in 1891-1892. A year later Dr.
Cook commanded the yacht Zeta nnd
failed to win out. Then ho organized
and commanded the expedition on the
steamer Miranda In 1894 , hut this ves
sel was crushed In the Ice nnd the
party had to return by another ship.

When the Belgian Antarctic expedi

along as surgeon , photographer and
anthropologist , remaining there until

While In the frozen south hlu
llanco , Miss Anna L. Forbes of Urook-
lyn died , and ho did not know of her
death for mnro than a year afterward.
In 1002 ho married Mrs. Mary l\
Hunt of Brooklyn and has two chil
dren.
Dr. Cook's success , In the opinion of
many scientists nnd explorers , hn
proved the correctness of hln theory
that the time to make a dash for the
liolo Is In the dead of winter when the
Ice fields are firmer and inoro exten
sive than In spring , when the more
open water Is encountered.
Revolutionizes All Theories.
IIo staked his reputation and hl
life on this theory and hl SUCCCSH
will undoubtedly revolutionize all po
lar expeditions In the future by land.
Cook held that the Ire was not only
firmed In winter , hut by reason of thin
would offer comparatively smooth sur
faces for sledding. IIo Instated that a
wlnior expedition would not ho balked
so often by open lanes of water and
shifting Ice floes. IIo pinned his ftilth
to dogs and sledges rather than to
boats or the fickleness of seeking
transportation by water.
In one of his books on arctic explo
ration , Dr. Cook writes of his ambi
tions long before ho discovered the
pole.
"Few of us over had a long run ever
a hill of happiness without stumbling
upon several ups and downs but wo
soon forget this and altogether , Ufa
seeniH easy enough to most of us who
live In temperate climes. It IB not the
same , however , for the men who seek
the realms of the frozen lands In the
arctic and antarctic. Their path Is
over a series of ups and downs , but
mostly ups. Their comfort , If they
have any , is evolved In the effort to
overcome the ever-present discomfort.
Frigid Zone Lures Explorer.
"The men who aim to reach the polo
are kicked about by giant seas , are
pounded by heavy storms , arc brushed
about by freezing drifts of snow , and
yet they calmly resign themselves to
become the footballs of hard fate because -
cause of a few pleasures. An effort
only partly crowned with success gives
such elation and joy that all the suf
fering and discomforts are forgotten.
"Herein lies the reason for the un
faltering law that he , who has once
beheld the other world's conditions and
has felt the charm of the white snowy
silence of the frigid zone , will over
long to return.
"If from any cause , a polar explorer
cannot return to these dreams of bin
life he either commits suicide or diea
an unnatural death In some way "
PECULIAR MISHAP CAUSES DEATH
Wire Breaks and End Strikes Boy on
the Head.
Bloomfield , Neb. , Sept. 4. An accl-
dent resulting In the death of Harry
Paulsen , the 15-year-old step&on of
Henry Burgard , occurred on the lat-
ter's farm , two miles north of this
place. Mr. Burgard and the unfortun
ate boy were stretching a wire fence
when the wire suddenly broke , strik
ing the young man on the head. The
accident occurred at 4 o'clock In the
afternoon , and although no marks
could be noticed where the wire had
struck him , it seems that a vein had
burated , causing the blood to flow to
the brain , causing death within a short
time thereafter. The funeral will bo
held tomorrow from the Lutheran
Drelfaltigkeits church , and the re
mains will be Interred in the Bloomfield -
field cemetery.
