Mrs. Simmons received word from Dan
this week that confirms the news con-
corning him as published in THE HERALD
last week and sets at rest all the uneasi-
ness that has been felt by his many
friends regarding his safety. Mrs. Sim
mons has not doubted his good judgment
and ability to guard against danger, but
nevertheless she has been under a strain,
as many other wives are whose husbands
are on the same Grand, which means
that the burden of hardship in shared by
those who remain behind and wait.
The letter which she received was a
short one, written in a hurry, because
those who were to bring it ont were about
ready to start. 1t was dsteG October 81
and was written in Judge M0rford's office
in Dawson. Dan made the trip down the
Yukon river with some Snohomish peo-
pie, among them Ex-Sheriff Hogan. No
stops of any length we're made on the
way down; and as it was, the party
barely succeeded in arriving before the
river froze up. During the last part of
the journey their boat floated down the
river surrounded by cakes of ice, and it
was only short time afterward that a
boat carrying Mr.. Freeman, of Seattle,
was drawn under the ice in the river and
the occupant drowned. Mr.. Simmons
and his party were in good health, were
not disappointed at what they found Daw-
son to be, reported Judge Morford as
being all right, and stated that they
would start for the mines the next day.
The letter was brought out by J. N.
Denny, OF Roslyn, who rode in the same
car with John Reed from Seattle to his
home. He told John that he and two
others made the trip out to Skaguay in
80 days, and that there is plenty of food,
but a poor variety, in Dawson. He stated
that the Simmons party paid their way
in by trading in flrs.

Mason's Opera House has for the past
week been the scene OF nightly entertain
ments under the direction of the Mohawk
Medicine Company. OF course the en-
tertanment IL given as an advertisement
OF the company, and at which the big
medicine man, Chief Dayolheassla, dis
poses of large quantities of his cures, but
the entertainment is, nevertheless, n UGH
better than many OF the high-priced shows
that visit this place. The star of the
combination is John Morrison, tenor,
with an unusually wide range and voice
as pretty as it is strong. Ho sings the
latest songs with feeling and pathos, en-
phasizing their strong points with appro-
pirate gestures. He never fails to please.
Edward Lazelle gives a pleasing exhi-
bition of juggling, introducing many new
feats. He is also an equilibrst of no
small calibre. Perhaps the most daring
of all his feats is when, on the slack wire,
he dresses himself entire without getting
off the wire. Mr.. Lazelle is an ex-Seat-
tie boy and has acquaintance in this
city.
The company has recently added ii.
R. Harrison, the English vocalist and
comedian, who has been making his
headquarters here for time past. He
has an excellent voice, which is perhaps
never better appreciated than in his song,
"All Coons Look Alike to Me-" AS a
comedian he does some clever acts and
gained many friends during his stay here.
Wednesday evening the company
played to large house, although an adj
mission price of 20 cents was charged.
Perhaps the most striking part of the
entertainment was the baby show, there
being five cherubs entered for the prize.
Three judges decided on the relative
merits of the babies and finally deter
mined upon the little one ear-od daugh-
ter of Mrs. McKelver as the one entitled
to the prize. The doctor and his com
bination left this morning for Elens burg.

The Christmas tree given by the Odd
Fellows and Rebekahs of this city last
Friday evening was in every way sue
cess. The hall was beautifully decorated,
the colors of the two lodges being con-
spicuous, and masy notices covered the
walls. The program consisted of music,
readings and recitations, and closed with
a zouave drill by Harry Coombs. A Sc
lection by Mrs. Caseres entitled "On
Christmas" was very appropriate and
was heartily applauded. All of the num-
bers were well rendered. At the close of
the distribution of presents the Re bekahs
served nice lunch, after which those
present spent an hour or two in getting
better acquainted.

ISOLATION


sociation-
A dispatch from Washington says
Senator John l.. Wilson, of Washington
had wrestle and fist fight in the corri'
doris of the Postoffice Department the
other dey with John A. Richardson, oil
Baltimore, a prominent lawyer of tina,
city and Republican leader.
Senator Wilson had been down at the
Postoffice Department having row with
General Gary over some Office In his
state. He came out of General Gary's
Office face to face with Richardson, who
was going to the office Of the Postmaster
General. Richardson was an old &C
quaintance of the Senator's and greeted
him with, "Hello, John! How are you ?''
at the same time stretching out his hand
go to -, am mad" was the Sen.
ator's reply.
The hand which Richardson had ex,
tended, quick as flash, was on the col.
lar on Wilson's overcoat and, drawing
the Senator to him, he began to rain in
blows with his left. Wilson broke away,
but final blow from the Baltimorean
sent him staggering up against the door
of the office of First Assistant Heath.
.'You mustn't do this" cried out Sen
ator Wilson. II am United States
Senator"
81 don't care who you are" said Rich
ardson. THE President of the United
States could not insult me as you have
and 90 unpublished"
Wilson did not stop to argue this phase
of the question, but made a bee line for
General Bristow's office. His time is said
to have been remarkable.
But Richardson was not satisfied and
followed his foe. They met again in Gen
eral Bristow's office and in the tussle
which followed Bristow was tumbled over
his desk.
Before leaving the room Wilson was
assured of the fact that he had made q
great mistake and he apologized. Rich
ardson accepted the apology, but took
occasion to remind the Senator to always
be careful in the future OF the language
he used.
Postmaster General Gary. hearing of
the matter, ordered all the witnesses to
maintain the most profound secrecy
about it.
