"LID LIFTERS"
FOOL THIRSTY
ST. JOSEPH, Mo.? A thirsty and
Indlgmint lot of laborers are tonight
bent on getting revenge against three
alleged lid lifters. A tip was quietly
given a bunch of loungers near Eighth
and Olive streets that the lid was
oft and whisky tn pint and half pint
bottjos could be secured. It was stip
ulated that no liquor could be drunk
cn the premises. A rush was made
by the thirsty, and a consignment of
bottled goods quickly disappeared at
the rate of $1 a pint. The sellers alsij
disappeared quickly. A howl went
i'p when gulps of acid vinegar reach
ed the stomachs of the drinkers.
Some sought medical aid and others
sought the police. Otto Anderson,
Plat Gates and A. W. Zimmerman are
In jail charged with selling the vine

WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 5.? Dr.
Frederick Cook lectured here tonight
and was accorded a. moc*. puthuslftB
tlc welcome. Ho stated that he might; .
equip an expedition and endeavor
to be tjio first to reach the south
pole, thus securing the glory for the
United States. This announcement
was' received with a burst of cheer
ing.
COOK CALLED
NATURE FAKER
J. A. Snow, who recently returned
from a long prospecting trip In the
Susitna country, which took him
through the regions adjacent to Mt.
McKlnley, says that the people of
Seward and Cordova and the pros
pectors and hunters In the Susltna
valley laugh to scorn the Idea that
Dr. Frederick Cook climbed Mt. Mc
Klnley "n 1906.
"They don't think he discovered
the north pole, either," said Mr. Snow
"Cook is generally considered a 'ma
ture faker" of the first water. Of all
the men who went with Cook on his
expedition, Including A1 Phillips, Al
Lowe, John Recunzone, the Swiss
guide, and others, Barrel! is the only
one who asserts thait Cook made th?
climb. Darrell is generally believed
to have been subsidized. The other
men say that it was impossible for
Cook to have climbed the mountain
during the short time he was away
from them."

NEW YORK.? Manufacturers all
throughout the country, who know
from experience what effect the in
crease In the tariff on cheap wool and
worsted mill by-products imposed by
the new Aldrich-Payne schedules will
have, say that during the year begin
ning next spring wearers of ready
?node clothing in the United States
will have to pay about $120,000,000
more in total for this grade of cloth
ing than they have paid this year.
Or, if they decline to pay more for
their clothing, they will be ohliged
to accept a far lower grade of mater
ial, large made up of shoddy and cot
ton, which will not wear more than
half as long as the woolen garments
they have been' wearing.
Manufacturers say the prices of
the cheaper grades of ready-made
clothing will be advanced from $2.50
to $5.00 a suit.? Philadelphia Ppblic

AIUN OUTPUT
GROWS LARGER
F? H. Mobley, the well known AUin
merchant, who was in town over
Saturday and went south on the
Royal, stated yesterday that the to
tal cleanup on the Atlin and Dis
covery creeks this year would be be
tween $250,000 and $300,000. This
is a substantial increase over the
output of last year.
The Increase Is largely caused by
the commencing of active work on
tho property of the North Columbia
Gold Mining company of which J. M.
Ruffner Is manager. Last year this
property only produced $30,000, while
this year about $100,000 was taken
out, despito the bursted dam early
in the season, which somewhat hand
icapped the company.
