The govern ment steamer Tyrian. with newspaper ' correspondents, left North Sydney to night to meet Commander Peary and the Arctic ship Roosevelt, somewhere off the west coast of Newfoundland. Efforts will be made to get Commander Peary to board the Tyrian. which Is a much faster ship than the Roosevelt, ard come to Sydney. Should the explorer de cide to remain on the Roosevelt, the newspapermen will Interview him and members of his party, after which they will hurry back to this port to land sev eral hours In advance of Commander Peary. Sydney Is planning, among other fes tivities In honor of Commander Peary', to present the explorer with a beauti ful bouquet of flowers from the hands of a, young woman. Just who this per son shall be has not yet been decided, end unless the trouble that has arisen between Wallace Richardson, the' Mayor of Sydney, and John E. Kchl. the Ameri can Consul, over his reception be com promised. Commander Peary may re ceive no flowers at all. Mr. Richardson desires that his two daughters, Gladys Aurlel and lima lone, be appointed chief flower girls, with Miss Naomi Kehl. daughter of Con sul Kehl. as assistant. The Consul, however, is of the opinion that his daughter should have the honor of hand ing the bouquet to Commander Peary. Herbert L. Bridgman. secretary of the Peary Arctic Club, has suggested to Commander Peary, through . wlretess telegraph, that In consequence of the temper of the controversy with Dr. Cook, It might be well to defer any long state ment on the matter until he has reached here. MCST OCCUPY POLE TO HOLD IT French Paper Questions That Ils covery Gives Sovereignty. PARIS. Sept. 13. The Temps, discuss ing today the sovereignty of the North Pole, expressed the opinion that the rela tive permanence of tho Ice there might properly raise the question whether this territory comes under the ordinary rules applying to land and the high seas. The paper insists, however, that exploring expeditions, such as Cook's and Peary's can't give the title and to this end It quotes Calvo to the effect that the ac quisition of sovereignty Is Involved Vith effective occupation, namely, accom panied or followed by the commencement of administrative organization or com mercial and industrial exploitation. A majority of the authorities agree, the paper says, that the simple planting of the flag Is not sufficient. It points out that this doctrine was affirmed by -the International conference at Berlin in 1S1. and that It was applied by the Pope when he acted as mediator between Ger many and Spain In 1SS5 In the dispute regarding the Caroline Islands. The Pontiff held that Spain was obliged to occupy the Islands effectively. More re cently the entire question between Tur key and Italy regarding Massawah hinged upon this point. The Temps severely criticises Com mander Peary's "broadcast accusation" against Dr. Cook, as well as his "general grandiloquent attitude," saying in this connection: "Peary's patriotic declaration about taking possession of the Pole In the name of the President of the United States contrasts with the commercial spirit he displayed in copyrighting the story." OXE ESKIMO REACHED POLE Peary Had Single Witness of Discov ery of Earth's Apex. BATTLE HARBOR. Labrador. Sept. IS. The following details of Commander Peary's Journey to the North Pole have been gleaned from members of the ex pedition on board the steamer Roose velt: . The only men to reach the Pole were Commander Peary and one Eskimo, Eging Wah by name. The other white men of the various parties that left Cape Columbia were sent back one by one, as Prary drew nearer daily to his objective. Matthew Henson and three Eskimos, the only other members of the party that made the final dash, were left one march behind. The party which left latitude 85:SS consisted of Peary, Bartiett, Mat thew Henson. the colored man who has been Peary's personal as sistant on so many of his expeditions, the Eskimos, seven slejges and 60 dogs, and the journey northward was resumed. The ice was perfectly level as far as the eye could see. Bartiett took the observ ation on the SSth parallel on April 2. and then reluctantly returned, leaving Peary, Henson and three Eskimos, with provis ions for 40 days, to make the final dash to the Pole. Marvin left Peary on the way up on Friday. March 26. to return to the .ship. He had with him two Eskimos and 17 dogs. The story of the professor's death was obtained from one of the Eskimos. April 10 Marvin was 45 miles from Cape Columbia. He started out that morning walking ahead. The Eskimos were- de layed in packing the sledges, a fact that permitted Marvin to get a good start on them. When the Eskimos arrived at- an open lead they noticed that the young Ice was broken about 25 yards out. and they saw what looked like a man's body floating in the center of the lead. Owing to the treacherous condition of the Ice, the Eskimos could not venture out. They returned to the Roosevelt and reported. Captain Bartiett then went back to the point they designated, and recovered Professor Marvin's spare boots, clothing and personal belongings, which were still on the ice where the Eskimos had left them. The superstition of their race pre vented the natives bringing the dead man's effect with them. , jA fait? fei I POLAR WAR RAGES ;" f:: .- I j - Schley Defends Cook, Showing Navy Not Solid. .

ST. JOHNS, N. F.. Sept. 13. Allen Whltteff, who was boatswain of the Peary auxiliary steamer Erik In 1905 and again in 1908, added his quota to the Polar controversy today. On ls expeditions he naturally saw much of Peary and knew of Peary's plans. He also was on the Eric Jn-4be' Summer of 1907, when she lay at Sydney along side the schooner John R. Bradley, in which DV. Cook was starting for the Pole. Whitten says the Bradley was abun dantly equipped for Cook's expedition, having supplies for at least three years. He confirms the charge made by Dr. Cook at Copenhagen that Peary took Cook's provisions, adding that not only did the crew take Cook's stores that were at Etah, but that boats were sent to Annatook. 30 miles distant, to remove Cook's provisions which were stored there. The boatswain declares both Cook's and Francke's collections of Ivory and skins, some of them very valuable, likewise were taken. He says the trouble with Peary's pre vious expeditlonsad been the lack of supplies. Instead of remaining away for three years. Commander Peary was compelled to return after about 15 months, the real reason, Mr. Whitten declares, being that he did not have enough supplies to remain longer. f ---:.:- us - S. - 4r f - 4 mAmmm: I 1 f, :- . jjj. i-j- ftrnfr til f K v. 1 til it P v 8 i :-y"-A:::': '.':cxv:.:V:.? ..

We told you why namely, that the demand in this locality was for suits at $15.00 rather than for those at $20.00 and $25.00. We told you that these splen did suits we'd made up specially to sell at these prices would be on sale at $15 The response to this announce ment has been very gratifying in every way. One thing in particular is very noteworthy and that is the further the sale progresses, the larger the volume of business. This is absolute and conclusive evidence that those who came dur ing the opening days of the sale have taken pains to tell their kin and friends. Every one of the suits bears the former price in plain figures on the ticket, so you can make your own choice at your desire. J. L. Bowman & Co. Popular Price Clothier.

CORDOVA, Alaska, ' Sept. 13 Four men who were working for George NERVOUS HEADACHES Cured by Dr. "WilliamsTink Pills Which Enrich the Blood and "" Send Nourishment to the Starved Nerves. There' is absolutely no way of reach lng the nerves with medicine except tlirough the blood. The nerves receive all of their nourishment and support from the blood which, under healthful conditions, carries the elements needed to rebuild wasted nerve tissue. It is, therefore, no mystery that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are both a blood builder and a nerve tonic, nothing un recognized by science in the power of these pills to cure severe nervous disor ders as well as diseases of the blood. Mrs. J. M. Robertson, of R. F. D.. San Gabriel, Cal. , who .was cured of a nervous disorder by these pills, says: suffered, for nine years with ner vous prostration, which was brought on by overwork. Whenever I lay down there was a sensation or pressure on my chest as though something was choking me. My heart fluttered and I couldn't sleep well. Everyvmorning I would feel exhausted and as though I had been working very hard. For nine weeks I didn't sleep more than twelve hours, even with taking morphine. I had headaches and dizzy spells a good deal and when I closed my eyes there would be yellow pots dancing before them. I had to keep very quiet as any excite ment made me much worse. I was always imagining all sorts of things. Many times during my sickness I became so exhausted that I was confined to bed for days and weeks without being able to raise up. My blood was thin and my finger nails were blue. "For about eight years I was almost constantly under the care of doctors. They simply couldn't do anything for me. Then a friend at Ogden, Utah, which was my home for five years, advised me to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills. I did so and felt better right away but I kept on taking thepiUs until I felt entirely cured. My cure has been permanent and I can recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as the best medi cine in the world for the blood and nerves.'1. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are gold by all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box ; six boxes for $2.50. by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.
