Copenhagen. -- "No living explor­ er or Eskimo has ever reached the north pole and the claims of Peary and Cook have not a shadow of truth to sustain them." This is the startling conclusion reached by Knud Rasmussen, say missionaries to Greenland, who have returned here. The missionaries, who are deemed religious and reliable, say too that they bring details of Ras- mussen's cross-examination of the two Eskimos, Ahswelah and Eturis- huk, upon whose testimony Doctor Cook relied for corroboration of his claim that he reached the north pole. After closely questioning these two and other Eskiraos, Rasmussen is ab­ solutely certain that the pole is still unconquered. Rasmussen, an experi­ enced arctic explorer, is the Danish Inspector of Greenland. 4Bns mother was an Eskimo, his father a Dane. Whatever Rasmussen says about arctic exploration is accepted with the greatest faith here. He was a partisan of Doctor Cook at one time. So, if the missionaries quote him cor­ rectly, hi8 report will reopen the en­ tire polar controversy. A telegram from its Copenhagen correspondent to the London Daily News states that the ship which took Kasmussen to Cape York last sum­ mer has returned to Copenhagen. Her captain brings a secret report to a friend of Rasmussen concerning Doctor Cook's Eskimos, whom Ras­ mussen interviewed. The captain says the report will "explain" the whole Cook affair.

Philadelphia Doctor Declares One of His Salesmen Saw Belle Elmore In Kansas City In September. New York.--Dr. J. M. Munyon of Philadelphia announced Saturday at the Waldorf-Astoria hotel that he be­ lieves Belle Elmore Crlppen is alive and has offered a reward of $50,000 to anyone who would produce her. He says he will give the $50,000 to Mrs. Crippen herself If she will come forward and save the life of her hus­ band. who is to be hanged for her murder in London next Tuesday. "I have believed all along that Mrs. Crlppen would appear in time to save her husband." said Doctor Munyon, "but now It looks as though she is keeping in hiding to carry out the most consummate plan of revenge In the annals of women's crimes of jea­ lousy or else Is carrying an adverti­ sing game too far. "Six weeks age one of my salesmen, who knew Mrs. Crippen well, while her husband was employed by me. wrote me from Kansas City that he saw a woman get on a train there whom he believed to be Mrs. Crippen. I did nothing at that time, but a few days ago when I received a letter from a Philadelphia lawyer named Tobin saying he had good reason to believe Mrs. Crlppen is alive. I deter­ mined to act.

Philadelphia.--An attempt was mad j Friday to assassinate Henry Clay, director of the department of public safety. Mr. Clay, who was not in­ jured, owes his life to his quickness in grappling with his assailant, who Is believed to be insane. The man, who gave his name as Harry Clark and who appeared to be about sixty-five years old, called at Mr. Clay's office and demanded to see him. As soon as he was admitted to trfe private office he began to abt»3 Mr Clay, declaring he had been perse­ cuted by the police and insisting on a radical reorganization of the force. Mr. Clay tried to quiet the man, and when his attempt failed he started to put him out of the office. In an In­ stant Clark drew a revolver and shot three times at Mr. Clay, two of the bullets going injo the wall and one shattering a window. Mr. Clay had caught the barrel of the revolver and this probably saved his life.

IOWA LOSES IN POPULATION Decrease of 7,082 Shown by Censers Returns--Result Is No 8urprtse to Officials. Washington. -- The population of Iowa Is 2,224,771, according to the enumeration In the thirteenth cen­ sus. This is a dc urease of 7,082, or 0.3 per cent, under 2,231,353 In 1900. The Increase from 1890 to 1900 was 319,572, or 16.7 per cent. The decrease dia not surprise cen­ sus burea ' officials, as it was in line with what was expected in the agri­ cultural regions of the middle west. Unless the present basis of appor­ tionment is retained it is probable that Iowa will lose one of her 11 members of congress.

Nome, Alaska.--Seventeen houses were destroyed, a number of vessels were washed away and the streets of (he city filled with water when an un­ precedented and mysterious surf swept in from the ocean. It Is believed by many here that the high sea, which was not accom­ panied by any wind. Is due to volcanio activity, and it is thought that Bogos- lov Island, the "new island" in Behrlng sea, is t£ blame for the tidal wave. Bogoslov" is an "intermittent island;" sometimes it is twins and sometimes it is singia. Again It is large, and tben the next ship that passes may report that it has dwin­ dled to a mere volcanic speck in the sea. Bogoslov, it is thought, may have doubled again or may have blown it­ self to nothing, sending the tidal waves which all but Inundated Nome. For sevjral years the water here has been remarkably low, and this resulted in the building of houses close to the shore. It was these that were swept away by the sea. No lives were lost, but many per­ sons had narrow escapes. The water swept far up the streets, those near the shore being completed Inundated. The schooner Mary Sachs was picked up from her mooring by the mighty rush of water and deposited in a spit dweller's yard. All the other boats laid up for the winter were swept far up on the beach by the waves. AST0R ALIMONY IS FIXED Lease of Tract in New York With Rent Payable to Former Wife Reveals Secret.

AN INTOLERABLE ITCHING "Just about two years ago, seme form of humor appeared on my scalp. The beginning was a slight Itching but It grew steadily worse until, when I combed my hair, the scalp became raw and the ends of the comb-teeth would be wet with blood. Most of the time there was an intolerable itching, In a painful, burning way, very much as a bad, raw burn, if deep, will itch and smart when first beginning to heal. Combing my hair was positive torture. My hair was long and tan­ gled terribly because of the blood and scabs. This continued growing worse and over half my hair fell out. I was In despair, really afraid of becoming totally bald. "Sometimes the pain was so great that, when partially awake, I would scratch the worst places so that my Bnger-tlps would be bloody. I could not sleep well and, after being asleep a short time, that awful stinging pain --would commence and then I would wake up nearly wild with the torture. k n«!gKi>r»r said it must be salt rheum. Having used Curlexr* Soap merely aa a toilet soap before, I now decided to order a set of the Cuticura Remedies •--Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills.

I com­ menced the Cuticura treatment at once, so had very little trouble. On my scalp I used about one half a cake of Cutfcara Soap and half a box of Cuticura Ointment In all.

Selecting one that an­ swered his purpose he asked the shopman how much it would cost. "Well," was the reply, "if you want the empty bottle it will be a penny, but If you want anything in it you can have it for nothing." "Well, that'e fair," said the customer; "put in a cork."
