A Dictionary Dilemma.

A good story is told with reference to
the publication Of a certain biblical die
tionary The editor is said TO have given
the article on the deluge to what he con-
sidered safe hand. but when the article
was sent in it was found to contain views
which would certainly have shocked or
thodox readers. It had in il too much OF
science and too little Of theology.
What could be done? The volume had
to be published forthwith. In this dilem-
ma he put in his dictionary, 'De.uge-See
Flood
This at any rata, postponed the Difficult
ty. and the article on the flood was given
out TO a writer who. it was thought. could
be trusted better.
But when this second article came IN
it was found 10 be worse than the first,
and another postponement was neces-
sary.

LIKE SCENE IN ANCIENT ROME
of Georgia, Writes of the HOr-
rOr of the Recent LynehinE.

Mrs. w. Y. Atkinson, whose husband,
former Gov. Atkinson, made IN earnest
endeavor TO prevent the burning of Sam
Hose, has written letter to friend in
Atlanta, Gu, telling of the occurrence.
Mrs. Atkinson says:
The occasion reminded me of the
Sunday afternoons in Mexico City Just
before bullfight, only here it was
much more Intense in bloodthirsti-
ness. There was certainty of death
the moment the horrible creatures foot
rested on NewnHn's soil, for crowd of
armed men brought him here. Had the
walls of the Coliseum been around that
burning sthke and its writhing human
form, scene of old Rome would have
been perfectly reproduced in this com
munlty, and doubtless the spirits OF the
ancient Caesar would have applauded
their apostles of the nineteenth cen
tury as the fires thick flame shot at
dismal glare
while we feel that no punishment
could be too severe for that criminal,
1t is generally deplored that n death
so barbarous was given him In this COM
munlty. The possible Injury to the
boys and young men is lnconceivable."

Count Won Lerchenfeld. said

truth of the report, am strongly In

The ''well-lnown circumstances" re-
ferred to mean the kings insanity. If

GOLD IN BEDROCK.
Bottom OF Placer Claims in Klondike
Is Found Valuable.
Tho nest worth 1000 n Ton--Miners
Have worked Only the Gravel
ueretofore--Troub over
the Matter.

Dr. Everett. of New York, hns made
the startling discovery that the bed
rock at the bottom of Klondike placer
claims Is worth from $4,000 to $4,000 n
ton, and has, in connection with num-
bcr of mining men, located the bedrocks
Of number of the richest gold mines us
quartz claims. The miners are up In
urms and clnim that DIR. Everett has
stolen part of their property. The In
teresting case has gone to the gold COM
missioner for decision.
Never In the history of placer mining
In Alaska has any attention been paid
to the bedrock. The gravel for n few
feet above it was always rich, and
from il most of the gold that has come
from the famous Alaskan districts has
been taken. The miners have never
gone any deeper, nor did they think to
have It nssayed. Sulphur creek bedrock
has proven the richest of the creeks
around Dawson, and many n quartz To-
cation hns been struck at the bottom of
the placer shafts along the creek bed
since DIR. Everett made his discovery.
As soon ns the discovery was an
nounced there was n stampede to Sui
phur creek, and now the bedrock under
the placer claims is all recorded from
claim 6S to 20 below. DR. Everett de-
clares that the rock will go as high as
$4,000 In gold.
70 prove that the gold is not the free
placer gold of the surface gravcls which
has been worked down into the inter
stices of the bedrock, tho sulphides from
ten square feet of the rock taken from
ten different places were carefully
washed some six times. Then the sui
phides were subjected to the furnaces,
and yielded 81 800 to the ton, which
means about SEQ to the ton of bedrock
removed and simply washed.
Does a mineral-bearing bedrock in
place belong to the placer claim above,
or is 1t subject to u quartz location by
some one else2
Time will prove, or disprove, the value
of tho discovery, but the question rs to
whether the new quartz locaters or the
placer men own the bedrock may prove
an unpleasant one TO handle.

WHY
IS
IT2

That from year to year and from
season to season the crowds are
greater, the business larger and
the store more popular with the
inhabitants of our city and the
surrounding country9 1t must be
because the goods and the meth
eds of business are satisfactory
and profitable to our customers
And does it occur to you, that
the improvements in the conduct
of the different departments is
better, the arrangement OF the
goods more attractive, kept in
better shape. displayed to better
advantage and the salespeople
more attentive, and the addition
of new fixtures for the quicker
handling of the goods, and more
room for the different depart
ments. All these improvements
attest the prosperity of an ideal
business, and
