This assignment has been re ceived and accepted by Walter Wellman. Washington correspondent of The Chicago Record-Herald, from Frank B. Noyes, editor in chief of the paper. It is an nounced by the daily press that Alberto SantosDumont will superintend the con struction of the dirigible balloon to be used in the trip, and will ' pilot it toward the pole. The . balloon will be built by 'Qodard, of Paris, before the end of next April. ' No definite date has been set for the start, but probably everything wilt be ready by next July, or - early in August At that time headquarters will be estab lished inSpitzbergun, wheretne explorers will await a favorable opportunity for the trip. Mr. Wellman has already taken part in two polar expeditions. According an interview printed in the Tne New York Times, he is sanguine of the result. Ha is reported as saying:, 'Mr. Noyes acted upon no sudden whim or impulse when he gave me the - order to try to find the much-sought north pole, as e had .before him a report, which I had submittsd to him as the outcome of two sits to the inner polar regions, of years of study of the problem of the pole, of many months of special investigation of airship construction and navigation, the wind, and climatic conditions to be en countered, and all the multitudinous me chanlcal and meteorologigal factors in volved. " In this investigation scores of eminent experts and specialists were consulted,. voluminous technical reports were tt ceived. and finally a complete, symetrical, and at least promising project was evolv ed by ma as representing a seemingly practicable combination of the latest de velopment of many of the arts for ac complishing the result in view. "The problem of reaching the north pole by means of an airship does not re quire high spied, and the presant state of the art of aerial navigation by gas-buoyed and motsr-drivtii ships is ample for that purpose. From an easily reached base of should we reach it." rfOTEL FOLf. BARBER SiaOP C T COLT Prop. " First class workmen always t . ready to please you, A TRIAL SOLICITED ' operations in Northern Spitzbergen we have but 550 geographical miles to go to the-pole, and a like distance for the return voyage. If we take the whole at 1,200 miles, it means but 100 hours of motoring at 12 miles an hourv Santa Dumont has repeatedly made frjm 19 to 23 miles an hour wiyi small airships equipped with relatively small motors., "The airship in which we purpose to attain the north pole will be the largest practicable airship ever built, and will' have an endurance capacity in buoy ancy sufficient to enable it to remain 25 to 30 days in the air. It will carry 5.500 pounds of gasoline, and its distance capa city during calm weather will be 1,800 miles more than the distance from Spitz- b.fgttll fcuaigui. abiWM thw pc!c Zi the whole Artie Ocean to Alaska "The ship wilt be equipped for safe ancltoraje in the highast winds ever known in the artic regions. In fact, the ship w.ll be subject to the w.ll and hand of the navigator just like a steamship upon the ocean. Besides the 5,500 pounds of fuef mentioned the ship will carry five men, a comfortable car in (which is also a toat in case of need), food and supplies for seventy-five dogs, and a complete sledging outfit ready for use should it be necessary to abandon the airship and take to the ice "At no time will our airship be out of touch with the surface of the earth. Our guide rope, so-called, but in our case a smooth tapering line of steel, is to drag its lower end over the ica, to keep the ship at a fairly stable height (150 to 200 feet), the altitude in 3t favorable to wire less telegraphy, and to maintain under ordinary conditions the vertical stability of the craft.

A REPROOf " One day a little boy came to school with very dirty hands and the teacher said to him: Jamie. I wish you would not come to school with your hands soiled that way. What would you say if I came to school with soiled hands?" "I wouldn't say anything." was the re ply, "I'd be too polite."- New York World.

' WOUNDED GIRL DIES Boise, Idaho, Jan. 24. Ollie Powell, one of the four persons shot here yester day by Henery Neuobaumer. a wealthy minor, who later killed himself to avoid being taken by the police, died early today Deith resulted from seven buckshot wounds in the abdomen, being more ser- ously wounded than at first thought. VW UTTU DIFfERENCf Many think, honestly, that Osteopathy is good for chronic diseases, but cannot reach acute cases. By what principle of reasoning ' this conclusion is reached is hard to say; probably by no reasoning at all. l he little nre just started is easier to extinguish than the conflagation result ing from it What is a chronic disease but an acute disao.se mo.de permanent? If the Osteopaths can reduce an Inflam mation of many months . or probably years standing, or restore the nerve force long cut off. can he not the much more easily control conditions of a few hours or days' standing? Over 90 per cent of the patients successfully treated by Osteopa thy have been failures from other systems. So many of the so called incurable di seases have been cured that soma of the best Osteopaths argue not to refuse to give such cases a trial, and thereby re move the last hope from the suffering. But a reliable Osteopath will not take a case unless he finds a probable cause of the disease, which he reasonably may hope to remove and cure thereby. Fail ure and dishonor awiits him who does.

Prescription Druggist HILL : ; LA GRANDE, OR RAMSEY-CROWS One of the prettiest wedding ceremon ies ever witnessed in St. Peters Episco pal Church, was that which united Miss Mary Elizabeth Ramsey to Mr. Samuel Dean Crowe, last evening.

Miss Sadie Heeny, where the beautiful service was conduct ed by the Reverend Horacs Ramsey, orother of the bride, according to the impressive ritual of that church, the ring sjremony being used. The bride was daintly gowned in white crepe dechine over taffeta, carrying a shower boquet of White car.utions. The maid of honor wore w.iite and carried pink carnations. The bridi was given in marriage by her father. Jude Ramsey. ' -After tne ceremony, to the brilliant strains of Mendelssohn's March, the bridal party left trie ciurch and returned to tne bride s nj.ni. w.iere a dainty sup per was served to the immediate rela tives and friends. A number of friends, having been informed tkat they were to leave on No. 5. for a short wedding trips were at the depot with .sundry package, of rice and old shoes. 'to bid them God speed, but evidently in sheer exuberance of joy they had been transported to other scenes, as they were not to be found thereof elsewhere. SPPCIAL SALE .................
