greater percentage being necessary for
the interest funds, owing to e reduced
valuations. The total amount to be

The ladies' OF Aberdeen are notel for
their progressiveness, and, not to b, out
done by the masculine instinct which
compels all men to stay up on election
night to hear the returns, they hired
Koeher's hall and run opposition to the
"stag" party at the Sherm.n house.
Just like the "horrid' men these fair
ladies' had the telegraphic returns sent to
the hall. and as they were read cheered
and screamed as the reports showed fav-
orabe to their respective candidates,
between times singing patriotic songs and
swinging their dainty feet to the strains Of
the lively waltz and the more exciting
gallop. The evening ended with supper
served by the Congregational ladies. The
experiment was voted a success, and this
morning one of the young ladies', filled
with the enthusiasm which comes to one
who has just tasted the sweets Of becom-
ing new woman, was overheard to tell
friend that it was 'just too lovely for
any use."
Many people in Aberdeen will remem-
Der "Jack" Miller, carpenter who lived
here about five years, going to Alaska in
April, 1895. The following clipping from
the Greenfield, Iowa, Transcript tells Of
his fate: "In letter from his brother,
II. NJ. Miller, to T. NJ. Neeley, Mr.. Mil
Ter says Il suppose you have not heard
OF Johns death. He was drowned three
miles from Berner's Bay, Alaska, on the
2Sth OF July and was buried at juneau on
the 31st. He and three companions went
on a fishing excursion and left their boat
on the beach, anchored to stone. Be-
fore they got back to the boat the tide
had risen and they could not get to it
without swimming They had left their
lunches in the boat, John said he was
hungry and would swim out and get the
boat. He got to the boat but for some
reason could not get hold OF it, and turned
and swan toward the shore but only got
short distance from the boat when he
threw up his hands and called to one OF
the boys on shore, but neither of them
could swim and he never came up again.
They recovered the body in half an hour
in fifteen feet of water but could do moth
iny for him. "
