 Mir L. J. Bricker, traveling passenger agent of the Burlington, route, with headquarters at Kansas City, arrived
 in town yesterday morning. MT. Bricker is distributing a Klondyke folder issued by the Burlington. The company was assisted in its compia- tion by Eli Gage, son of Secretary Gage, who returned not long ago from the Klondyke. The folder contains everything worth knowing of the Klondyke country from the time George Carmack made the first strike in August, 1896, until the Excelsior brought the first news of the great treasure region down last August. Descriptions of the country, dis tances, cost of living and of the vari- ous gold regions follow, with rates of fare and cost of packing. The folder is illustrated with Klondylke views. It contains also a map of Alaska and the Klondyke. said to be the first ab- solutely correct one published, show ing every trail in the country.
 Bertram Smith, son of NIT. J. Y. T. Smith, complains of having been held up on Thursday night. He said he was on his way to town and when not far from Joseph Monihon's place man at the roadside called to him asking to ride. Smith refused and the stranger rushed to- ward him and caught the horse. He dragged Smith from the buggy and searched him with a great deal of thoroughness, but found nothing. He then ordered him back into the buggy. A short distance away he met two young men on horseback ito whom he told the story of the hold-up. They rode back to the place where Smith said it had occurred, but could find no trace of the highwayman.
 The new school house in the Mur phy district was properly dedicated on Wednesday night. The entertain ment took place before large audi ence. The literary and musical pro- gramme was rather long, but it had been we'll arranged and was quite as well rendered. There were refresh ments and an all-round good time. The Murphy district is a model scholastic community Within two, years the has increased from four teen to forty, requiring now the ser vices of two teachers. The gain in this district, however, does not repre- sent net gain of as much to the whole county, for it is made up in part of losses in other districts. The Os- borne district north of town, for in stance, has fallen off within the last two years.
 Chaules Stoke, the morphine fiend, was picked up by the police yesterday on charge of vagrancy. He was given thirty days. An effort is being made to send him back to his relatives in Philadelphia He is said to be we'll connected and to be graduate from the University of Pennsylvania. An other morphine victim in the city jail is Thomas Norris. Both Norris and Stokes had been committed to the asylum and were kept there until the use of the drug was discontinued. Both believed that they were cured, as they said they were without longing for the drug. But not one asylum grad 11ahe in five hundred ont of the anaeS- 'thetic department, is ever cured. The relapse is so easy as to be almost natural. The slightest bodily pain is magnified and recourse is had to the panacea for only once. The one dose, though, sweeps away the care and treatment of months.
