SEATTLE, June 6.—Midnight to
night Washington state goes bone
dry with not a drop of liquor al
lowed entry after that hour.
The law will go into effect not
withstanding the referendum peti
tion which is now in the hands of
the Secretary of State.
The promotors of this petition
claim that they have secured signa
tures enough and more than enough
to postpone the law for half a year
Meantime the authorities have
been authorized to seize shipments
of liquor not in the hands of con
signers before midnight.
Every freight that arrives from
the sou.h and east brings a mass
of people' to the railroad offices
seeking if their consignment of
booze in one form or another has
come on that train. The disappoint
ment of many when they discover
that their shipments are delayed
and may come too late to be re
ceived under the law is not without
its comical side. Many men and
women are causing scenes in the
freight offices by reason of undue
! delay to their shipments of liquor.
Tho railroads have compelled
shippers to prepay for all freight
on liquor and so will lose nothing
even if the booze is seized.
The Secretary of State announced
that pending the count of names
upon the anti-bone dryers petition,
the law will be in full force and ef
fect and all violations prosecuted.
NEW YORK, June C.—The dis
covery of tlie North Pole by Peary
never produced anything so marvell
ous as the conflicting story now
brought back by MacMillan the
head of of the Croekerland expedi
tion who reports having found a
tremendous country in the Arctic in
Finlay land.
MacMillan tells about the most
wonderful coal deposits in the world
enabling him and his crew to main
tain big fires in their quarters
where otherwise the told would
have killed them oft. In addition
he found in Finlay land, a land ot
wonderful extent and liUTally pro
lific in big game: Arctic .-sheep, Arc
tic bison and musk ox being plenti
ful while caribou were limitless in
numbers and quite tamo.
MacMillan tells a wonderful
story of his experiences.
This is the first time the expedi
dition has been heard of since it
left for the North anti has been
given up long ago for lost.
r The facts as just superficially
j made public change wholly the opi
| nion held heretofore of Finlay land
and will without question modify
the reports sent out by earlier au
thorities whose passage over the
country evidently was far swifter
than that of the MacMillan expedi
tion.
The reports are now exciting geo
graphers even more than the re
ports of Cook and Peary did when
they first came out and all await a
more detailed account.

loss.

eral investigation and further pu
nishment will be metecl out to the

SRINGFIELD, Mo., June 6.—The
only son of a family named Keets
was kidnapped here yesterday under
circumstances of complete mystery.
The boy went out to play and since
then has not been seen. A farmer
saw him talking to some men with
a buggy who lifted him into it. He
thought that they were friends of
the boy and took no further notice
of the incident.
The family is well to do and it is
possible a ransome is sought.

men were arrested today in connec
tion with the kidnapping ol' the
Keets boy. Others are expected.
The boy is still unrecovered but. it
is expected that a clue has been dis
