A Very United Family,

The value attached by the poor, and
even by those who are not in the depths
of poverty, to decent surroundings in
family life is very variable quantity.
Decent lodging is not by any means
universally regarded as one of the prime
necessaries of life. Occasionally it is
relegated to quite back seat.
An instance was Civ, before the
commission of fami', # seven per-
sons-father, mother 49,, own up sons
and three grown up daugnters-all liy-
ing i'll one room. With them this ar
rangement was matter of choice, not
necessity, for they earned between them
about 81 week, more than $3.50 q
year. and even from a slum landlord
they could no doubt have afforded to
rent another room or two. Having
screwed down the item of rent to an
irreducible minimum, they determined
to have thoroughly good time, and this
is how the witness describes their pro-
ceedings: "In the evening they would
all go cut to the music halls and to the
theaters. On Saturday afternoon they
would take five tickets each for some
omnibus or conveyance that was going
into the country, and on Sunday they
would go to Brighton and to other
places" 1t is comforting to reflect that
these Arcadian beings were a unit
ed family and always took their pleas
ure together as we'll as their maps. 1t
is not stated whether they took in
dodgers. From 1.-The Housing of the
English Poor" by the Right Hon. Lord
Monkswell, in North American Review.

TELEGRAPH TO KLONDIKE.


LnOuSdHu AAllGb LOHSs
The Klondike is promised close COM
munication with the rest of the world
in short time At least a telegraph
company has been incorporated which
will get to work Immediately, it's pro-
moter says, stringing the wires. Arti-
Giles of incorporation of the Alaska Tel
egraph and Telephone company were
filed recently with the county clerk of
San Francisco. The directors Of the
new company are @. W. Wright Theo-
dore Reichert, D. E. BOhanon, J. W.
Wright and J. F. Fassett. The capital
stock of the organization is $3.50, 900,
of which 500, GOO has been subscribed
by the directors.
The proposition is to construct tele,
graph lines which will connect Dyea
with the town of Dawson and branch
lines connecting Dyea with Juneau and
Dawson with Circle City. The estimat-
ed length of the proposed line is 10, 900
miles. The plan of construction will be
after the style of military systems used
in war times. A wire quarter Of all
inch thick, covered with kerite insula-
ton will be used. The wire will be laid
along the ground instead Of being
stretched Oh poles Trees or poles will
be used only when it is necessary to
cross a gulch. The company does not
intend to have any telegraph communi-
cation south from Juneau unless some
of the larger companies construct line

A hint to those who may thought
lessly at some time or other indulge in
excess i'll eating. If this indiscretion is
committed, especially in high seasoned
things with rich sauces, draught of
cold water, calculated with lemon
juice, will take off the sense of weight
at the stomach and assist the digestive
process by moderating the alimentary
fermentation. New York Ledger

CLEARLY A FRAUD.
Durrant's Friends Are Badly Over
reaching Themselves.

San Francisco, May pa letter was
received today from w. T. Bryant, the
old soldier who recently swore to a
sensational affidavit to the effect that
he saw Rev. ]. G. Gibson, pastor of
Emanuel church, carrying the body of
a woman uD to the belfry on the date
of the Blanche Lamont murder. which
effectually disDoses of that document,
and proves the unrelfability of the
writer. Although this letter was mailed
at Monte Vista, Col, four days after
Bryant made his affidavit, he states he
never saw either Gibson or Durrant. 10
his knowledge, but that two women,
Hester Hicks, and Henrietta Bigsby,
had offered him $1,000 to swear that he
was in the church at the time when
the murder was committed, and that
Gibson committed the crime. Nothing
is known of either woman, and in the
light Of recent. events Chief Lees has
no hesitancy in pronouncing Bryant a
prodigious liar

the beautiful ritual which was SO tel

quite a growth in the mining camp

they are more certain than many medi-

You don't have TO keep on taking

them regularly for a while, and you
are cured permanently. After that
take them only when you find yourself

many medicines offered for the same

AGAINST A CHANGE.

After Porter had spoken in favor of
the Werner's arithmetics, Superin-
tendent Scott of Emery spoke vigor-
ously against making any change of
text books.
we have started in to make changes
all along the line and some of the su-
perintendents have said they would
not dare to go home unless changes
were made. Now 1 want to say that
we have made so many changes that i
don't dare to go home. Laughter) 1
invite you all to a funeral when 1 get
home. Uaughter.)
Now there are some other things to
consider than the theories taught by
the different books. There is a finan-
cial consideration that should not be
lost sight Of Emery county has few
schools and much to contend with,
from the prairie dog to the Robbers
Roost gang, and there is not any too
much money among the people. Our
children need something else than
books. They mush have clothing on
their backs. and we must not adopt
books and do anything in this conven-
ton that will be a factor in loading
down the taxpayer. l would rather re-
tain Hooper's second book, though
much l dislike it."

THE VOTE.

ner's primary, 6; Werner's advanced.
s; Franklin elementary, u; Franklin
advanced, u; Essential series, 5;

Some confusion followed. as it ap-
peared that many of the delegates
voted for Speers primary under the ap-
prehension that it was book for the
pupil instead of the teacher Chair
man Park ruled the vote improper. The
second ballot resulted:

mentary selected.
