Commander Peary today told the
story of discovering the North Pole

that Dr. Cook's statements were
false. All documents upon which
the geographical society based their

Sheriff George Qulne arrived home
for Medford this afternoon with
Thomas Menks, who was arrested at
that city yesterday morning on a
charge of jumping a board bill in the
sum of $40 at the Collins boarding
house, on Main street. Sheriff Qulne
believes that Meaks Ib a sort of a bad
individual, and consequently he in
tends to institute an investigation in
hope of ascertaining his past record.
During his residence In Roseburg the
prisoner was employed as a laborer,
and It was learned that aside from
jumping his board bill he issued sev
eral ficticious orders through which
he secured a quantity of poods from
local mercantile establishments. Pri
or to going to Medford Sheriff Quine
entertained the belief that Meaks
was the party who forged a check
upon Louis Kohlhagen, but in this
he was mistaken. When taken in
custody by the sheriff, Meaks Bad
that he had intended to return to
Roseburg and square his accounts,
Intimating that he would leave Med
ford enroute , here today. These
statements had little effect upon Mr.
Qulne, however, and the fellow will
probably bo compelled to face the
crime charged without ceremony.

THE AHMOKY IN VElt.HE.
(Written for the dedication of the
new armory at Albany, Oregon, Jan
uary 4, 1911.)
On this very spot there stood a
church
For yea theHe ninny years.
And for peace on earth thore has
been shed
A wash-tub full of tears.
The words of the lowly Nnzerlne
Must linger 'round here still.
As well as the command of God him-
BOlf,
"Beware, thou shalt not kill."
For two thousand years these bless
ed words
To mankind have been taught;
During all this time for sake of gold
Many battles have been fought.
Brothers against brothers have been
matched
That others, wealth might gain;
And they got. thirteen tlollarn per
month
With nil the ache and pain.
No, you never see a plute out thi'ie.
When lead rome thick and fast.
And of all the men that do enlist
The plute Is sure the Inst.
But when they want some markets
new
BecauHQ hlnga get dull and lag,
Tht'v say. "To arms, you patrbirt!
Come rally round tho flag!
"Come whip some other nation w'ak.
So wn can tret their gold, j
While you lie dead and cold."
For all this we-ve built an armory
Kluht on this vifry spot
Where stood that little church so
I mm;
h this just rlith or not?
To train (he hov to jhom and kill
Ami answer the command
Of officers with hearts i' " cold
And heads tllU'd up with brand.
What would vour God th-.n say to
thlR
fn dedication day,
Wh'-n big brass buttona an on par
ade And we've the bills to pny
