NEW TORK. Oct. S3. The stock market
waa weak today and money conditions
here and abroad wore agata advanced as
the principal reason. The opluon of bank

the subject, the prevailing belief being,
however, that the situation abroad has
been much exaggerated. The probability
of gold exports to Europe next week has
been somewhat lessoned by yesterday',

ports of gold to South Amerloa during tha

WASHINGTON, Oct. Si-Commander
Robert E. Peary, the Arctic explorer, has
telegraphed to scientific friends here that
It was Impossible for Knud Rssmussen,
the Danish explorer, to have seen any of
the members of the Dr. Cook party and
that a'ny Information which Rasmussen re
ceived was, therefore, not at first hand.
That the story told In Rasmussen's re
port of his Impressions of Dr. Cook, as re
cently made public by Mrs. Rasmussen at
Copenhagen, lacks authority. Is the sub
stance of Peary's latest message.
The dispatch came from Peary a day or
two ago and It has been scrupulously kept
secret. The persons to whom It was ad
dreased doubtless guided largely by the
host of criticisms of Commander Peary's
previous statements la the course of poiar
coutroverey regard the message as strictly
confidential end have observed the obli
gations. Efforts to recure a copy of the
dispatch today were unavailing. It is
known, however, that the telegram was
sent 1y Peary from Maine after he had
carefully read the report of Rasmussen,
and that It Is Intended to discount what the j
Danish official, Rasmussen, had to say In
support of his belief In the full achieve
ment of Cook's ambition to reach the goal
at the farthest north.
Rasmussen In his story did not at any
point say that Ah-Pe-Lah and I-Took-a-Hboo,
the Eskimo companions of Cook, had
told him (Rasmusien) any of the matters
he referred to In his report, but quoted
them as saying they made the statements
he mentioned and referred to the friends
of the two Eskimos as asserting these mat
ters In corroboration of Cook's claims.
LAWRENCE, Kin., Oct. 23. Dr. Fred
erick: A. Cook wired Prof. L. L. Dyche of
the Kansas State university from Duluth
today as follows:
Will be pleased to have you Join Mount
McKlnley expedition. The details of that
expedition will be undertaken shortly.

The Invitation, which Mr. Hill has ac
cepted, waa first Informally presented
to him by T. F. Sturgesa manager of the
exposition and Will A. Campbell of the

gesture.
Since this interview the Corn show haa
been able to advertise the fact that Mr.
Hill would bo here, with his authority.
He gave Mr. Campbell a photogroph of
himself, unpublished up to that time,
which haa been the meana of giving the
ahow a large amount' of valuable ad
vertising. The New York World has

about Mr. Hill', interest In the Corn

For the first time Omaha will have an
opportunity to entertain the great railroad

to oecune three of four Invitations to
speak every day and It Is an unusual good
fortune that Omaha 1. able to secure htm

corn show and It Is through this fan t.mt
he haa been Induced to come here at all
He aaya ha will call a spade a spade when
he comes to Omaha and will not try to call
It an agricultural implement.
Mr. Hill's addresses are always .emark-
able for their aocuracy. It has been said
of him that ha thinks In figures. ' He w'll
read hla addreaa before the National Corn
association and what la given to the pres.

Tonight the registration for chance, to

Taft from. October 4 to October 23. The
drawing Will begin October 30 at Aber
deen. ' . ! .
Instead of 800,000 person, registered, as
waa originally .expected in some quarters,
the number reaches barely 75.000, but this
will result to the benefit of. those who
have registered, for they stand a better
chance of winning farms when the draw
ing takes place. The falling off in the
number registering is due to several
causes, one of them being the compara
tively! high price which bomeseekers who
draw farms will have to pay per acre for
the land embraced In the farms to be
distributed.
Homeeteadlng of public lands Is not what
It used to be when the government wa.
much more lenient with hometseader. than
In these modern days. Now fourteen
months' residence is required in the case of
commutation proofs and homesteader,
must have tehlr homes on their land to
the exclusion of a home elsewhere, and
must make Improvements of a substantial

ment, for the land must be made at atated
Intervals, and If a homesteader falls to
make a payment when It become, due all
his former payment, will be forfeited and

Now that the registration for chances

JURY LISTS JAMPERED WITH
Strong Showing Being Made by
Cattlemen Accused of Murder.
COUNTY CLERK STAR WITNESS
Examination of floxee In Which
Names Are Kept Also Show Dis
crepancies Rumors Two of
Acensed Have Confessed.
BASIN. Wyo., Oct 23 (Special Tele
gram ) The net result of the testimony be
ing taken by counsel thus far for the de
fense of George Saban, one of the cattle
men under Indictment for the murder of
three aheepmen, has been confirmatory
of Saban'a allegation. The examination of .
tha boxes today, aa ordered by Judge Par
melee, ahow. unquestionably that the lists
were not prepared as contemplated by the
statutes. The attorneys for the state in
cpencpurt denied ,. that 1 : waa the result
of work oi . thHr fclde. The fact that In the
Jury wheel or' box were the namea of the
best known cattlemen- for the major part
disposed of the suggestion that their elimi
nation wa. secured at the hands of per
sons friendly to the defense and H. S.
Rldgely, aenior counsel for the defense
entered a disclaimer for the defendants
along that line.
The first box or wheel opened was the
one known as general box No. L but before
the clerk waa allowed to touch them the
Judge.' ordered . the ballots to be counted
first In this one 725 were found which
waa short eighty-two aa per lists checked
by attorneys for both sides. It was the
Irony of fate that among the names were
those ot Joe Emge, one of the murdered
sheepmen, and George Saban, who was
present In court and stands Indicted for
the murder of Emge. The name also of
Joe Faris, another defendant was like
wise, found in the wheel. Faris Is not
confined here, but in -the Sheridan county
pall.(
It is rumored that he and another de
fendant Keyes, have confeased and that
ia why they are not kept here. Tha sec
ond box. No. 3. aa it is deslgrated, and
In which are placed the names In what la
termed the five mile limit, or emergency
list, 'was found not to contain them- aa
required by law. When County Clerk
Russell waa called to the atand again
this morning, Rldgely, for the defense
objected and requested that the evidence
of the -clerk be not heard until the boxes
had been opened and the contenta gone
Into .E. E. Enterllne, for the state, op
posed this and the court permitted
Clerk Ruaaall to go on the atand. Hla
testimony waa damaging to the state,
as it showed that th. list Insofar as cer
tain erasure, were concerned, was dif
ferent from that which left hi. hands
and as checked off by him. He further
aid that there had been no discussion,
that he could recall, as to taking off the
namea In question.
Judge Parmelee also carefully ques
tioned the wltnesa before leaving tb.

of the state that arc working for the pas
sage of the . Anti-Saloon league', county

of the most prominent Women in the con

one of the national organisers, contended
that if the National did not hold up Ne
braska s hand In this step that seemed
right In Nebraska's Judgment, it wa. not
true to It. color.
Mrs. Stevens, president of the National,
tried to explain that endorsement could
not compromise the national body, but
Mix. Frances Beauchamp, president of the
Kentucky union, could not see It that
way and urged that the National attend
to Its own business and not endorse the
affairs of other organisations. Incidentally
she said things about the Anti-Saloon

name.
When the vote wa. taken Kentucky and
a few other delegation, declined to support
