ITO the glory of God and in loving

has been placed here by The Players,

the Booth memorial window in the Lit

upper half Of the window is the life-size
figure of a medieval histrionic student,
seated. and contemplating a mask lying
in his lap. The pose is very like one of
Mr.. Booths as Hamlet. and the figure
was taken by many to be intended for
Hamlet. First under the figure are the
words which some years ago Mr. Booth
wrote to William Winter that he would
choose for his epitaph:

The vacancy on the Republican town
ship ticket, occasioned by the refusal
of j. DaYis to make the race for eleo-
tion as cemetery trustee, has been sup
piled by substituting the name of A. r.

Mr.. Champney is so we'll known in
this section that no introduction is
needed, ard It is only necessary to state
that he does net believe in having our
beautiful cemetery fall back into the
condition in which it was before the
present system OF management was in
troduced for the purpose OF placing the
cemetery in condition that is credit
to. the people.

The report that T. s. NJ. V. r. r. Co.
contemplates building a power house
and of locating the building on the
banks OF the canal oyer near Miami is
not very joyful news to Perrysburg.
Just what effect this will have upon
the families OF the cOmpany's employees
who are living here is hard to tell, but
If the cars are started from the power
house every morning, the employees
will Gnd it necessary to locate near
their headquarters, and this will take
many families out of Perrysburg. Our
village can hardly afford to lose so
many families, and II it is possible, some
effort should be made TO induce the
company TO locate the power house In
or near Perrysburg. The JOURNAL
does not know that it would be possible
TO do this, but II would certainly do no
harm for our citizens to investigate and
see II anything can be done in this
respect. IL is much easier TO drive
away enterprise than TO induce 1t to
enter a village and our town has been

FROM KL0NDIK
DAVID MAIN RECEIVES A LETTER
FROM HIS SON IN ALASKA.


FROM HIS SON IN ALASKA.
SHEEP CAMP, ALASKA, March 2. 1898.
DEAR FATHER AND MoTHER:-Mr.
Mann and have just been TO the top
Of the Chilkoot, and must say that it
was a fine trip. We left camp, which is
about miles from the bottom OF the
path, and walked up and back this fore
noon and are not at all tired.
The packers have holes cut in the
frozen snow so 1t is just like walking up
stairs, but the coming down Is the cir
Gus, they slide through the soft snow
and come down in mail train. You
should see them pile up on top OF one
another, but no one gets hurt.
We are here with 1000 lbs. OF provis-
ions and five in the party; have con-
tracted to have it taken from Dyea to
the top of the summit for ste per lb.
and as the rest of the way is ali down hill
and on ice we think we can get it taken
to the lakes for less than &c per pound,
and then we will have smooth sailing
from there on.
The boys are all feeling good. and are
anxious to get on the other side but
horses are scarce, and the man that has
our contract has but two horses and it
will he four days getting it to the foot
OF the path.
The weather on the summit to-day Is
as mild as it is at home on a fine spring
day only there is about 20 feet of snow.
must say that people writing from
here last fall did not exagerate, as the
man that we are boarding with tells us
while getting one horse shod last fall
he was one nail short and had to pay SOC
for the extra nail. He said that this
provoked him and he went to Dyea and
bought all the nails in that place, and
sold them out at 25c each and never had
kick, as the men were making $40 a
day for their work.
But everything is reasonable here
now, only horses are scarce, If one was
here with good team he could make
$50 day hauling from here to the foot
OF the scales.
II only had some pictures taken of
scenery OF the ice glaciers and snow on
the sides OF the mountains that were
cut out by the wind blowing at the rate
of 100 miles per hour, know they
would be the finest you ever saw.
The British flag was floating upon
the top of the summit to-day. They are
there keeping order and collecting duty
from those who are going in, but are
not collecting from those who are not
going farther than Taggish Lake.
