TO the Associated Charities. The treas
ury of the charities is in need of re-
Punishment, and the $1,000 would be
used by them in most beneficial man
ner. Both MIR. Batterman and Mr.. Mac
Farane declare that they will carry
their legal battle 10 the highest courts,
which means that the money Will remain
a burden in the hands of John Gillie for
many years to come. This Is hard-
ship on Mr.. Gillie. who finds the pos
session OF so much money very ex-
pensive matter. He receives no salary
or compensation for acting as stake
holder and all the boys insist daily on
his spending a little OF the thousand"
in treating them. He finds himself made
the victim of charity schemes of all
sorts. and people with rattle, ball or
benefit tickets of any sort TO sell never
overlook him. If he protests that he
has no money they mention the thou
sand which is still in his hands. If
this keeps up much longer Mr.. G!llie is
fearful that the money will be all gone
years before the case is decided
1t is known that MIR. Gillie would be
very glad to turn the money over to the
Associated Charities, and it is said that
one of the parties to the bet is about on
the point of giving his consent. If the
ladies of the Associated Charities would
only call and see MessrS Batterman
and MacFarlane and do little mission
airy work. il is believed that they would
obtain the thousand dollars with ease.
Col J. d. jerks of the Horse Marines
is waiting anxiously for news of
declaration Of war with Spain. The
colonel verges on IS years of age, but
barring an occasional twinge Of rheu-
matism he is apparently as well as ever.

A good many postoffice people are in
the city just now on account Of the
Fagen Busch trial. Among them is IN
spector Wayland, who has just been
on a trip through Madison county,
1T is d queer thing" said Mr.. Way
land, in chat the other day. 'tat the
very head of Alder gulch, from which
more placer gold was taken than from
any other gulch in America, stands a
poorhouse. From its windows the pau
pers of Madison county can look over
stretch of II miles from which was taken
since 1869 more than $100000,000 in goll.

Colonel Sanders who has been in town
for the past few days, reports that sam
Word is still camped on the banks of
Tagish lake and is doing well and
doesn't care to go any further until the
river opsns. Word took in a big supply
ply of provisions and is realizing fabu-
lousy on them. Parties leaving Daw-
son sell there at good prices all of their
provisions except enough to get them to
Tag!sh lake. When they reach the lake
they buy OF Word enough to carry them
into Dyea. and of course they pay well,
50 that Word is realizing from 100 20
1000 per cent. ON his Investment.
The only drawback is. said the
colonel. that Sam is little shy on
reading matter. 1t is all right in quail
ity, but not much On variety He only
has three books with him. They are the
Bible Sponsors 'Faery Queen and the
Sanders edition Of the Montana codes.
