About FIVE O'Clock New Years NOM
ing, C. M. Covill, a brakeman, who was
taken by number of railroad boys tor
a spotter, came very ne arly getting his
neck stretched. Covill had been at the
fireman's ball and went down to Sauer
& Ostendorfs saloon about FIVE o'clock.
He has been under suspicion by the
railroad boys for some time 'and they
were only waiting for some positive
proof OF his tloines. Passing through
into the lunch room at the rear of the
saloon he there made some remarks that
set at rest all doubts in the boys minds.
He was fred bodily from the lunch
room, receiving some bad bruises during
the performance. and the boys gave
chase and ran him up to the Great
Northern Hotel. When he got inside the
hotel he picked up chair and hit one
of the would-be lynchers rap on the
head. Luck was in the spoilers way as
the marshal happened to be in the hotel
and he, with others who were there,
Jumped in and kept the boys from doing
the spotter any more harm. The clerk
of the house hustled Covill off up stairs
and helped him pack up his personal
effects. after which he fled town.-Mel-

logs to the value of $4,000. Then
there is SHIT against the widow of Mr..

have sought to prove that there was
NO relation between the price Of
wheat and the commodity value OF an
ounce Of silver. The, relation be-
tween the price of the two articles is
clearly shown in. the" following ex-
tract from an article, written by ex-
Congressman Bartine, in a recent is
sue Of the National Bimetallist. He
says: ....... -. ....
The relations between silver and
wheat are simply these: American
wheat is sold in competition with
wheat grown in India. In that coun-
try the average price Of wheat, meas
ured by the rupee "a silver coin)
has remained practically the same
through a long course Of years.
Therefore there must be close reln-
ton between the prices of the t4*0 Iii
the London market. But this does
not mean that there are no diver
gencies at all. II the price oftiwi1eAt
at Bombay measured in silver were
always exactly the same, then silver
and wheat would preserve almost
identical relations all the time. But

markets. Accordingly, ;we'tind that
some years wheat has been as much

other years 1t has been 80 points be-
low. As the silver price varies IN
Bombay, the silver price will likewise
vary in London. But it is rs plain as
light that there is a relation, and
very important one between the
price Of silver and the. price OF
wheat. "

While silver is treated as a; mere

The old-time Yukoners who stayed in
Juneau so long that the first of the
incoming rush reached the Alaskan
metropolis before they started for their
summers work in the interior got an
unusual, and to them unwelcomc, evil
dence of eastern civilization through
the introduction into Juneau's frac-
tional currency of what the Mining
Record scornfully calls the humble
penny piece" The Yukoners regard
the silver quarter as the smallest ma
tional coinage. They despisc dimes and
think the nickels an outrage on hui
manity. For the penny as coin they
have no satisfactory vocabulary of de-
nunciation. They prefer rather to de-
nounce the persons who use it, and
such denunciation usually includes the
entire genealogical tree of the unfor-
tunate offender. The only possible use
lukoner has for a penny is to treos
ure it as a curiosity.-N. Y. Sun.
