Tie Entertainment.

The entertainment given at
Heartberg's hall Friday evening
was decided success, and too
much praise cannot be bestowed
on Mrs. Wayland for the pains
taking way in which she drilled
the several participants:
Miss Pogue appeared first with
charming solo.
The fairy play ''Beauty and
the Beast" was we'll presented.
Eunice Turner as Beauty, Nash
Wayland as Beauty's father, and
Arthur Anderson as the Beast,
were each in turn heartily and
deservedly applauded, while
Grace Paul and Blanoh Robbins,
as the disdainful sisters, sus-
tanned their parts to perfection.
The three brothers, John Ellis,
Roy Anderson and Walter Rob-
bins were well received. A
pleasing feature of the play was
the court ladies and gentlemen.
These were represented by little
children varying in age 5 to s
years. The first to do homage
to beauty was John Rookie and
Hattie Nichols, following in sue
cession were BERTHE Carter and
Maud Turner, Lee Birch and
Lottie Moore, Emery Gains and
Ethel Gains; while last, but by
no means least, the fairy, Leo
Short, feeted in and out among
the players, casting his watchful
eye DER the scene, to be certain
"all was WELL" The costumes
were of aye Olden Tymes" and
were gay and complete.
Mrs. Medley's Caller, in which
J. w. Hall, the Irish tramp and
Mrs. Wayland, the deaf old lady,
appeared, was well received.
Prof. Reeder favored us with
a well-rendered selection.
The vocal duet of Eunice Tur-
ner and Arthur Anderson called
forth praise for the youthful
singers.

Will Smith as Ebenezer Pepper;
Arthur Anderson as Mrs. Pepper

Mrs. Pepper No. 2, reached its

: "The Perplexing Situation"
was perplexing, The characters
of the dumb girls was carried
out in particularly good style by
Miss Pogue, Miss Robbins, and
Mrs. Wayland. The stingy old
man, Mr.. Bates, and his amiable
wife, Miss Brown, rendered their
parts to the satisfaction of all.
The son, Clay Robbins, with
words of praise, urged the girls
not to speak. The lovers, Bunk
Eller and Mr.. Hunter, nearly
came to the conclusion their
sweethearts were demented. The
servants, Eunice Turner and
Arthur Woodring were excep-
tionally good, while Chas. Marsh,
as Uncle Ep. "from deown ken
try kept the audience convulsed
with laughter by his droll re-
marks. Particularly good was
his encounter with Miss Ander-
son, a friend of the family.
The instrumental music was
among the best we have enjoyed
for many day, Professor Evans
on the violin and Mrs. Evans at
the organ.

makes a necktie of the same
goods, which will be placed in an
envelope. Each gentleman buy

takes out the necktie, finds the

thus secures his partner for sup

sMr. Bryan is not to be catalogued as
an uninteresting person. He was the
star actor in one of the great dramas
of our time. He was one of the chief
figures in the most important political
campaign since the close Of the civil
war.
against tremenduous odds, without
combination, experience or fortune, he
was the most signal personal triumph
of our history at an age when political
leaders generally are in the cradle or
the kindergarten. Through the con-
test for the Presidency he displayed
courage, endurance and versatility
that have not been surpassed, and he
accepted defeat with dignity and COM
posure.
$50 we do not need to look far to dis
cover the causes of Bryan's popularity.
People like pluck and nerve in friend
or foe, and Bryan is young, poor, sandy
and western born, which is strong
prescription even with those who re-
ject his ideas and methods.

Names of Yukon Points.

The United States Board of geograph-
ical names, which meets at Washington
at stated intervals, has just rendered
decisions determining the spelling of
149 geographical names. Theseinclude
number in Alaska, significant at this
time, in view of the Klondike excite
ment. Many variations of nomencla-
ture for the same place are encoun-
tered and the Boards action settles
the Uniform usage. Following is a
summary of action taken relating to
the places conspicously mentioned in
the gold stories.
As to Klondike the decision is to
spell it as here given, and not Clondyke
or Klondyke.
One of the lakes of the Upper Yukon
was named Lebarge by the Western
Union Telegraph expedition in 1868
after Mike Leharge, a member of the
exploring party, VINO is now living
somewhere near Ottawa, Canada. Late
publications have fallen into the error
of spelling this lake Labarge, but the
Board adheres to the original form of
Lebarge. There is Lebarge river in
Alaska.
When Schwatke decended the Yukon
in 1888, he named one of the lakes on
its waters, Lindeman, after DIR. Moritz
Lindeman, now vice president of the
Brennan Geographical Society. This
sometimes appears enormously as Lin
demann or Lindermann. The Board
adopts Lindeman.

E. A, Yell with a family of three
children, one girl of fourteen and

cabin half mile below Dewey for
some time past, the mother having
been absent in the east for two years
The mother came home fort
night ago, and on last Saturday had
the father arrested on charge of rape
committed upon his own daughter, and
the daughter as well as the younger
children, charge that a terrible condi-
ton of affairs has existed for nearly
two years. An examination was held
before Judge Handy and the accused
held under $1,000 bail. 1t is under
stood that the case will go over until
the next term of court.

One of the principal tributaries OF
the Upper Yukon is Lewes river, named
by Mr.. Robert Campbell, of the Hud-
son Bay Company, about 1S4s. This
is often miscalled Lewis.
The inlet river and village at the
head of Linn canal, which now appears
in the newspapers almost daily under
the form of Dyea, the starting point
for the overland route, is an Indian
word which has appeared in many
forms. Admiral Meade, in 1869, wrote
it Ty-Ya; Krause in 1883, wrote it De-
jah; Schwatka, in 1888, Dayi; Dali, in
1858, Taiya. The Board adopts the
form Taiia.
For the lake and river variously
called Hootalinqua, or Hotalinga, or
Teslin Hina, or Teslin-Too, or Teslin,
the Board adopts Teslin. The termin-
ations Hina and Too are said to mean
river in different Indian dialects. An
Indian village on the Middle Yukon
is called Nuklpkayet. This has been
written in several forms including the
erroneous one, Tuklukyet.

Wealth of the KIondike.

The steamer City of Topeka arrived
at Seattle, October IL, from Juneau,
Alaska, bringing several miners from
the Klondike regions and 100000 in
gold. Among the passengers was John
F. Maloney, of Juneau, who came out
from Dawson City with the Calvin par
ty. He stated that the previous ac-
counts of the wealth of the Klondike
were over estimated. He also stated
that one claim would produce 100000
and that over 100000 would come
out of the Klondike region this fall.
Patrick Calvin, who is recognized as
one of the bonanza kings of the Klon-
dixie and who has been engaged in
mining fer three years, said: "There
are 461 claims which have been oper-
ated sufficiently to prove their rich
ness. There are $50 claims staked out,
but not developed Taking those claims
and figuring out their cubic contents
and making conservative estimate, l
do not see why the output from these
claims alone should fall short of $780,

In a letter from Lake Lindeman, a
newspaper writer says that there is
chaos on the Taiia trail. Thousands
of people are struggling hopelessly on
with damaged outfits, and thousands
with no outfits, clothes, food or shelter
are beating. back against the storm,
trying to reach Taiia. For eleven days
the storm has ragged, the wind blowing
a gale and the rain falling in torrents.

An exchange says: "No man who
lives on meat was ever known to lick
his wife or ask for a divorce. Adam
got into row right off, because he had
no hog meat, butter or black bass.
Napoleon lost Waterloo because the al
lied forces had bacon for breakfast the
morning of the fight. The French had
vegetable soup. The South had to give
in at Appomattox because they we're
out of meat! No war can be success
fully waged without hog meat. Am
ericans are the most frisky people on
earth, because they eat the most hog
meat. Ingalls, would have gone back
to the senate had he not lived on oat-
meal, baked apples and blind robins.
A vegetable diet woman is as cold and
elammy and unlovable as turnip. If
you wish to put roses in the cheeks of
your girls, vitality in their every mo-
ton and brains in their heads, feed
them meat. If you want your boy to
get job and hold it, and go to the
front and amount to something, give
him bacon grease, ham fat or tallow
three times day. The world is full of
cranks who are always getting up some
new fad about hay soup and oorn-fod-
der tea"
