cries of home and my dear kind
creditors crowded my brain, and
1 shed few timely tears. They
were hot scalding tears, and
thawed the snow and ice in front
of me for more than a mile, so
that I was able to progress rapid
ly on the way to fortune aud
fame. However, was struck by
another avalanche about 6 p. m.
aud buried under 10, 900 feet OF
snow.
Nov. 3.-Slept comfortably all
night, but dreamed scfae heavy
weight was pressing on my
chest. With my patent folding
snow shovel l soon cleared a
path TO liberty, and on my way
with a lighter heart. Made q
century run on my patent snow
bicycle. BY the way, there is
SO much air mp here that pneu-
matte tires never require pump
ing up. On the contrary, they
have TO be punctured in several
places in order to prevent their
bursting. In long and varied
experience l have never noticed
SO much air anywhere.
Nov. Ats remarkable how
cheap ice is up here. No wonder
people find it hard to believe all
they hear about Alaska. The
natural reso r .es OF this country
in the way Of ice are nothing
short of phenomenal. Think OF

Virginia officer Fined for Violating
District Law.

SAFSAhlA oiHccf F1ncO Tor Violating
District Law.
Joseph F. Shaner, who said he was a po-
lice officer in Lynchburg, Va, was today
fined $50 by Judge Kimball for carrying
weapon, 3S-caliber bulldog revolver.
According to the testimony, Shaner
reached this city yesterday afternoon with
deserter, whom he surrendered at the
Marine Barracks. He then went out to the
house of a friend on Ontario avenue and
after dinner the friend took Shaner out to
see the sights. In the course of their trav-
els, they went into house occupied by
colored people on the south side of the ave
nue. between 18th and 18th streets and in a
little while quarrel took place between
Shaner and one of the inmates, whose name
was given as Mile Yancey Believing that
he was in danger, he said, Shaner drew a
revolver, to protect himself but with no in
tention of using it. Mile and a companion
named Hazel st. Clair said that Shaner
knocked the former down and threatened
to kill her.
After Shaner left the house the women
followed him and had him arrested.
The accused claimed that he was not
aware that he was violating any law when
he drew the weapon, but Judge KimbaIl
told him he was in error. Shaner said that
If he could go out in custody of an officer
he could get the amount of his fine from
| friends. Baliff Darr thereupon took him in
charge and 1t is expected the necessary
sum will be raised today and the fine paid.

SWALLOWS POISON,
Miss Valeria Persing Makes an At
tempt at Suicide.

Miss Valera Persing, a young woman
who lives at No. 927 NJ street southeast
startled her relatives yesterday morning by
taking big dose of laudanum, with sui
cidal intent About 10 o'clock in the morn
ing she left the house, saying she was go

Respondent, but gave no intimation of an
intention to end her life.
Instead of going to a grocery store as it
was supposed she had she went to Dr.
Falconer's drug store and purchased 3
cents worth of the poison. When asked
why she wanted 1t she told the druggist
she desired to use 1t for external use to re-
lieve pain. The druggist had known her
for some time and he sold her the lauda-
mum, registering her name as the law re-
quires. He did not suspect that she want
ed 1t for any other purpose than that
stated, but 1T was not long afterward that
he heard she had swallowed the poison.
This she did about the time she reached
home. When her relatives learned what
A few minutes afterward DR.. Pyles reached
the house and he succeeded in saving the
woman's life.
The police learned of the affair last night
and Officers Santmyer and Stewart made
a report of it to police headquarters. While

cause of the young woman'S conduct, gos-
sips had it that a love affair was the cause.

INCREASE IN BUSINESS
This is the Experience of Merchants During
the Holiday Season.
1t Is Estimated That the Volume Was
Mt Least 25 Per Cent Greater
Than Last Year.

An inquiry among the merchants Of the
city has developed the fact that the bust
ness done during the holiday season which
| is just closing was great deal better than
for the same season last year. and in fact,
for several years. 1t may be said that this
is the general verdict, and men who are
in position to know, who come in contact
with those engaged in all kinds of business,
state that in their judgment, which Is
based on statements made to them by the
merchants, the business this year has ex-
ceeded that of last year by at least Is per
cent.
There is no exception made and mer-
chants carrying on trade in different local
tiles of the business section of the city
seemed to have shared in the general ex-
periencs. 1t Is admitted that merchants on
the avenue are somewhat handicapped by
the fact that horse cars are running on the
avenue instead of the more rapid cable
cars, and for this reason 1T Is claimed
whereve. possible people used a road where
the transit system is more rapid
Some of the avenue merchants think that
II the proposed new underground electric
system had been in operation on the ave-
nue. they would have done a much larger
business than they did, but even under the
circumstances. which in this particular
might be regarded as adverse, they say
they sold more goods than they did at the
Se'1iic sedSoh last year, anu lnat lne VOL
ume of business was generally much larger.
In the opinion of those who are familiar
with local conditions it is said that the fact
of this improvement is itself Indication
that the much-talked-of prosperity is al
ready here 1t is thought that people have
bought more literally this year, not only
because they had the money to spend, but
because of an increase of confidence and a
feeling that 1t is not necessary to exercise
such extreme caution in expenditures, as
mas been the case in the past. 1t Is be-
lieved that the prospect for the future
is that the promise of the Christmas bust
ness will be realized in the increased vol
ume which is to be transacted during the
coming months, and that by the opening of
spring there will be a marked activity in
all branches.
