Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 2.—Professor Diche of the Kansas university said that he has decided to make another trip to the Arctic ocean in search of the pole, having received an offer of assistance, but he declines to name the source of the offer. It is supposed the American Museum, under whose auspices he Joined the Peary expedition, has something to do with the offer. The professor said the Insufficiency of the food supply has been the sole cause of the failure cf previous expeditions, and that given plenty to eat he will get to the north pole as easily as he got within 800 miles of it. His pres ent plan is to creep around the west coast of Greenland and make a dash for hhe pole by sledge or boat. Cabinets of tterlng silver $50 to $250 at H C.

Stephenson wrote “The Fatal Card” they gave to the amusement world one of its cleverest melodramas—one that holds the attention of the audience from the beginning to the end of the play with out once letting interest In it lag. The play opens at the foot of the Rocky mountains, where the vigilance commit tee, so well known in thai section, serves notice on George Forrester that he must quit the country or die. He declines to leave. Hi3 offense was an attempt to kill n Dutchman. The vigilance committee linds him at the saloon of Mercedes and takes him away to hung him. Mercedes loves him and appeals to Gerald Aus tin to save the man she loves. He prom ises. Gerald had left his home in Eng land because, it was not congenial. Har ry Burgess loves his sister, and seeing her unhappy goes to find her brother. Gerald refuses to go back home, btit on hearing a girl sing "Home, Sweet Home" changes his mind and agrees to return with Harry. Together they follow the vigilance committee with the hope of saving Forrester’s life. Forrester jumps down an embankment and catches a moving train that carries him beyond reach of the committee. As he leaves he tears a card In two, handing half of It to Austin, telling him to preserve It. The scene here shifts to the valley of the Thames and the home of Marable, the leader of a band of bond thieves, but who Is supposed to be an honest gen tleman. He has a daughter whom Aus tin loves, and to whom he Is engaged to marry. Austin’s father 1= a. rich bond broker, and It becomes known to Marable and his pals that he is to receive bonds worth $1(10,000 on a certain day. They plan to rob him. and tn stealing the bonds Dix^ on, one of the pals, strikes the old man across the head nnd kills him. But a few minutes prior to the murder Austin had quarreled with his son, who had cRlled to have a confidential talk with him. His son, in going out, left his cane, and it was with this Dixon killed the old man. Retiring from the broker’s room, Marable locked the door and took the key away with him. This he threw into the river later, and Harry Burgess, see ing him do so, dived and brought it up. Gerald Austin was suspected, but at the earnest pleading of Marable’s daugh ter hid himself in a room at the rear of Marable’s house. She hud overheard her father make an appointment to meet Dixon there and certain incidents com ing up attracting her attention she sus pected her father knew something of the crime. In this room young Austin heard the story of the murder and robbery re vealed, and coming into the midst of the men denounced them as murderers and thieves. He was tied to a post and the four murderers drew lots to see who should kill him. It fell to Marable's lot. He placed an Infernal machine near Austin, with which the latter was to be blown to pieces. Austin requested Mar able to deliver a miniature to his mother and feeling in the fovmer’s pocket found the half card given him by Forrester in the wist. Marable recognized the card nnd releasing Austin hurled the card through the window. The machine ex ploded, killing Marable. but Austin es caped unhurt. The play is being produced under the management of Gustave Frohman. who has exercised bis usual excellent mana gerial abilities In selecting bis company. Every person In the company plays his or her part well nnd gives entire satis faction. Waites' Howe, in the role of Gerald Austin, is exceedingly clever, while the other characters were well placed as follows: Charles Stedman as George Forrester or Marable,M. J. Jordan as Jim Dixon, Richard C. Bennett as Harry Burgess and W. H. Turner as A. K. Aus tin the broker. Belle Gilbert appeared in the role of Mercedes, playing the part most excel lently. while Margaret Marable. Cecil Austin and Penelope Austin, the old maiden aunt, were well impersonated by Kathryn Osierman, Anna Visiaire and Mme. Corina Jordan. This excellent play was produced at O'Brien's opera house last night for the first time io a small, but well pleased house. It will he repealed tonight. “A Railroad Ticket. *' The successful farce comedy.

The Humber racing team has returned from Atlanta, where they went Friday night to take part In the races there Saturday. The "quint" and "quod” were carried over and used to pace the races. P. J. Berio, the star of the team, won both the professional races, with Cutter second in one and McCurdy second in the other. Mr. Berio also went a mile against time, and made the good time of 2:0G. The track was in a horrible condition, otherwise Mr. Berio could have ridden the distance under two min utes. Will A. Pickens, the local “class A” crack who went over with the team, won second place in the half mile open and third place In the quarter mile class A races. These were the only events tfia't he competed in. There were twenty three competitors against him, and his wins were very satisfactory. J. P.
