A Race Conflict Feared

Montgomery, Ala. August pa spe-
cial to The Advertiser from Gadsden,
Ala, says: A race war is imminent in
Etiwah county. A negro woman has
been preaching on Sand Mountain to
negroes and ignorant whites, claiming
she is the Messiah and can do all
things. They had a big foot washing
Sunday and negroes and whites min
gled freely, embracing each other with
the Holy Kiss This morning the
negro woman met one of the best citi-
zens Of the town and cursed him. He
finally cowhided her within an inch OF
her life. Her followers swear they win
exterminate the better element of the
white people and a clash may come
at any time.

Washington, August 23.-Some inter-
esting statements relating to the gold
region in Alaska and the reindeer ex-
pertinent there, are brought out in the
annual statement of United States
Commissioner of Education Harris,
submitted today for the past fiscal
year. 1t describen in detail the prog
ress of the mining, the growth of Cir
Gle City, Dawson and the Klondyke dis
trict, the two principal routes, via st.
Michaels and via Chilkot pass.
Touching the importance of extending
the introduction Of reindeer into that
territory, the report says the reindeer
satiOnS ought to be able to furnish
500 reindeer trained to harness at once
for the use Of the miners on the upper
Yukon river. "It was my purpose"
the commissioner goes on, ''to detail
three of the skilled herdsmen and thir-
ty trained reindeer to the Yokon re-
giOn the present summer.
If this arrangement is carried out, as
instructed, an important experiment
will be in progress during the coming
year at the gold mines. The plan of
the bureau has been to arrange rein
deer express, connecting towns in
line from Behring strait to Kadiak is
land. The superintendent Of reindeer
stations, Kjellmann, last September,
proved the practicability of this by
making a trial trip on this route. Two
of his party were able to take the
steamer at Katmai, sailing to Sitka in
March. This arrangement once COM
pleted, it will be possible for business
companies in San Francisco and other
cities to hold communication with their
whaling fleets during the winter north
in the Arctic circle.
There have been maintained in
Alaska twenty day schools under the
supervision of the interior department
with twenty-three teachers and an en-
rollment of 1,267 pupils. A public
school was opened at Circle City in the
Yukon mining district, but the depart
ments agent, writing from st. Michael
says he is afraid he will be forced to
discontinue it because of the exodus of
the city's population into the region
nearer the recently discovered mines.
The influx of miners into the Yukon
has caused a demand for reindeer for
freighting purposes. In the original
plan for the purchase and distribution
of reindeer, reference was had to Sc
curing a new food supply for the fam
ishing Eskimos of the Behring sea and
the Arctic ocean region, but it is now
found that reindeer are as essential to
white men as the Eskimos. The Won
derful Yukon placer mines are situated
25 to 100 miles from the greater stream.
Provisions brought from the south and
landed on the banks Of the river are
with great difficulty transported to the
mines on the tributary streams.

OBSERVATIONS.

The Twenty-fifth of December Is
day to forget old grudges. to take a
new interest i'm humanity. To renen-
her ones friends and be truly grateful
for them. TO draw closer TO Kin folks
and toreturn thanks for the tie that
binds. The fiimsy nature that eXults

tion. is unworthy Of friendship. Ihe
gift is sacred symbol. but only the
trembling hands Of age and the pink,
small hands of children receive a glft
as perfect i'm itself. The aged for the
love il stands for, even if ii be some
thing they cannot use, think of the
pjyer with a full heart. The children
take gifts from Santa Claus as from a
blessed genii whose largess isa reward
of virtue and selected from millions OF
Others for each particular child.
Christmas does not amount TO much
unless the children consent-as they
always dO-to shed upon the growh-up
people their unfeigned, effortless nap
piness. Some of that brightness that

the Halter block, where the dispute
over fair division will eventually
take place. This is out of the range
of public vision. The present owner
OF the theatre did not buy the furni-
ture. 1t belongs to the two unfor-
tunate families who put so much in
the building just at the time when
prices began to fall and landlords were
pressed to the bottom of the heap. In
any circumstances dual ownership of
so large property is apt to end diSas-
trously, but Messrs. Lansing and Oil

The orchestral work under the capa-
BILE direction of Mr.. Hagenow was as
good, perhaps better than usual. The

Master Karl Smith, an unaffected and
boyish youth, played the Goltermann
concerto for cello very smoothly aud
with abundant technical facility. So
