John II. Larson wants $20,000 from
the Great Northern Itnllway company
for what Is described in his complnlnt
as '"humiliation, shame, dlsgraco and
physical pain." The complaint sets
forth that Larson boarded n Spokane
bound, train in Lincoln county on Juno
29. He was told by the ticket agent
to pay the conductor, ns thero' was not
sufficient time to sell a ticket On the
train Larson tendered a twenty dollar
gold coin, but Conductor Stedman re
fused to accept it in payment of fare,
saying tho coin was spurious.
Larson had $3.15 in silver, but that
amount was not sufficient to pay his
fare to Spokane, so the train was stop
ped and tho passenger ejected. lie
sought the agent in the station nt
Waukon and was told the nest train
would be along in fourteen hours, so
he decided to wnlk. Meanwhile the
pain of the aching tooth became more
aggravated, nnd when Larson reached
Spokane, following tho long hike on
tho grade, his Jaw was swollen so his
friends failed to recognize him.
THINKS HE CAN CURE LIARS.
Holy Cross Professor Says Prevention
Is First to Be Sought.
The Rev. Itobert Swltkerath, pro
fessor of history nnd pedagogy nt
Iloly Cross college, in a lecture before
the teachers' congress in Boston col
lege said that "the so called confirmed
liar is not a hopeless case, but may be
cured by patience and sympathetic in
terest." Tho clergyman's topic was "Preven
tion and Cure of School Evils, Espe
cially Lying and Cheating."
"American boys have more common
sense and a fairer appreciotion of
Justness than any others in tho
world," he said. "It is important that
we should know the cause of evil in
the individual case. We should know
whether the cause Is pure egotism,
excessive imagination, nervousness or
excitement or from a misunderstood
motive of heroism. The treatment j
win do uirtereut m umerent cases.
More important than tho cure of ly
ing is the prevention of lying."

i tj j
Discovery Made by 'Explorer Stefans
son European In Features
That there In a two of meu resem
bling Scandinavians llvjug ,ln Victoria
Land. In n re tic America, who have
never seen other white men nnd took
tho white man who discovered them
for nn Eskimo, Is the remarkable
statement contained In it letter from
tho explorer and anthropologist VllhJ'
mar Stofansson. who has been In the
nrctlc region for the last three years
or more on an expedition sent out by
the American Museum of Natural His
tory. Tho explorer states that these
far northern Americans have the
speech and habits of Eskimos, hut are
Europerin In features.
In tho flndlng of tho, new communi
ty Mr. Stefansson believes he has In
troduced among ethnologists a now
problem of great scientific interest.
Ho suggests three possibilities. One
is that ho has found a new branch of
the human family. Another Is that
theso beings may be the descendants
of the 3,000 Scandinavians who sud
denly and mysteriously disappeared
from Greenland In tho fifteenth cen
tury nnd of whom no trace has ever
been found.
Ho also suggests that they may be
descendants of a large party of Sir
Johu Franklin's men who also mys
teriously disappeared.
Mr. Stefaussoit left New l'ork city
in April, 100S. With him when he
left, was Dr. II. M. Anderson of Iowa,
who was the naturalist of the expedi
tion, which left here with the Inten
tion of learning something definite in
relation to the ethnological puzzles of
the land north of Hudson bay.
Tho expedition has done what it set
out to do, Mr. Stefansson writes, nnd
has also found there Is no lurge river
In the region, nlthough one Is 'desig
nated on maps ns the river La Iton
ciere. Ho has learned that a certain
cape Is an island and that a certain
island on the present map Is a cape.
WORLD'S GREATEST AIRSHIP.
Japan's Will Be Ninety Feet Longer
Than England's.
Japan Is building tho greatest dirigi
ble balloon over known. Details re
garding the aerial structure are said
to bo zealously guarded, but neverthe
less it is announced that the aerial
monster wil' be GOO -feet long, exceed
ing by ninety feet tho length of the
British dirigible launched a short time
ago nt .Barrow
It will be a little more than fifty
feet in diameter and will be fitted with
six motors, each of 120 horsepower, so
that Its total driving power will be
equivalent to 720 horsepower, or about
twice that of the motors on the British
airship.
Those engines are expected to be
capable of driving an airship of Its
dimensions against a wind of fort.v
miles velocity that Is. a storm wind
at the rate of thirty miles an hour.
But if there should he no wind it could
force its way through tho air at n
speed of seventy miles an hour.
The air vessel which Japan com
pleted a few months ago was 400 feet
long nnd of the semirigid type. The
new one is being constructed en tho
rigid principle. It will have a lifting
power of about forty-two tons exact
ly double that of tho British dirigible.
It could take on board at least twenty
tons of benzine for fuel, nnd any loss
of gas would be compensated for by
tho consumption of the fuel. By this
means It ought to be ablo to remain
in tho nlr n week and be under full
control the whole time.
About ton men will form its crew,
though the dirigible's carrying capacity
will be sufficient for thirty more men.
For ammunition and pneumatic cylin
der bombs ample room is to be avail
able. HERMIT DEAD.
Left a Fortune, Which He Sometimes
Carried In His Clothes.
James W. Churchill, a famous her
mit of Plymouth, Mass., died recently
at the homo where he had lived tho
life of a recluse for forty years. He
was born in Plymouth eighty-three

the civil war he enlisted in the Ninety-ninth
Now York regiment. Compa
ny K, nnd besides serving in the ar
my was for some time on board a
man-of-war.
After coming home from tho war ho
retired to tho old homestead, where
his hermit's life began. With his ad
vancing years came a positlvo dis
trust of mankind. The old man died
wealthy, although tho exact amount
of his fortuno cannot bo determined.
Across the road from bis homo Is a
small pond which contains goldfish,
and tho old man has always been a
self constituted guardian of tho, pool.
Onco ho was found on tho streets
with his pockets stuffed with money
and bills sticking from his belt, from
tho tops of his boots and various oth
er parts of his clothing. Ho always
carried a large roll with him, which
be guarded with n loaded revolver.
