As the anchor chain went rafting
through the hawse pipes the steamer
was surrounded by fleet of rowboats
f, and Siwash canoes. trying to pick up
passengers. On the beach could be seen
the large scows used for unloading the
horses, and the passengers were eager
TO go ashore. This could not be done,
however, until the captain came back
with the customs officer.
The beach at Skaguay is low, and
runs out several hundred yards before
dropping of into deep water. At low
tide this is all bare, so steamers are
forced to lie outside and try 10 unload
at high tide.
Tom and Green were to continue four
miles further 10 Dyea, but as they
found it impossible TO secure a scow TO
tow their horses and outfit TO that
port, they were forced 10 leave them
on the steamer until she finished her
trip after unloading the bulk of her
freight at Skaguay.
When the customs officer had made
his visit the two friends went ashore in
rowboat and took their first glimpse
OF typical mining town.
What q scene IL wasl Crowds of men
rowing in boats to the beach, then
clambering out and carrying their
goods above the reach of the tide and
piling them in little heaps on the
ground. Horses tethered singly and in
groups. Tents Of every size and kind,
and men cooking over sheet iron stoves
set outside. Piles of goods were on
every hand, and men could be seen
loading horses and starting off toward
sort Of lane in the direction OF small
grove of cottonwoods, beyond which
was the trail TO the famous White pass.
Rough frame buildings were going
up on every hand as fast as man could
handle the material, all Of which were
TO be turned into stores when COM
pleted. Outfits bought and sold" was
n familiar sign, and the stars and
stripes floating over a tent announced
the presence of United States court
commissioner.
1t required two days to unload the
freight here, and then the Islander
proceeded TO Dyea, where, without
accident, Tom and his friends succeed
ed in landing their outfit and setting
up their tent.
When everything was done il was
dark, and to Toms delight the second
mate proved an excellent hand to cook.
They made hearty meal. lit their pipes
and then Tom said:
Tomorrow we must see IL we can
find the man Avery's letter told about
the one who was coming here after

be here some time in April or May. To-
lay is the first Of May. Then we must

AFTERN BODICE.
\ New Mode Carried Ont ON Truly
Elegant Lines in Chiffon and
Renaissance Lace.

The accompanying model is a spe-
cially pretty design for an afternoon
bodice, and an elegant one. The yoke
is made of renaissance lace set over
foundation of white silk, and the
sleeves are of the same material. At the
sides short corsage of the lace fits
close into the figure and extends below
the belt line at the front.
The bodice proper is made Of dark
mousseline de sole embroidered in fig

ARRANGING THE VEIL.
To Judge by the Appearance OF
Many women This Is Not suchn
Very Easy Task.

The art OF arranging a veil success
fully, and at the same time fashion
ably, cannot be so simple as ii seems,
since so many women fail TO accom-
plish the desired result. They put
their wells on SO tight that they wrin-
kle across the face and fiatten the end
of the nose, and the unneeded length 10
left TO hang in untidy ends at the back.
All wells should be gathered a few
inches from the middle of the upper
edge TO make them fit. Fashion va
ries in the disposition of this little ar
ticle of dress which, il not properly ar
ranged, can make woman look as IL
everything she has on had been thrown
at her. just at present wells are made
crescent shape with applique lace bor-
ders, and are worn very loose, leav-
ing the chin entirely free. Afternoon
teas are responsible for this fashion,
as loose wells are more easily managed
than tight ones. The latest novelty in
yelling has a blue chenille dot, and
Russian net mounted over white tulle.

The Care OF OAK FURNITURE.

Oak furniture is better for being
rubbed with linseed oil, in which some
alkanet root has been STEPPED, and then
brushed with brush stifi enough to get
into every crevice of the carving. Or
dinarily an application of beeswax and
polishing cloths is sufficient, but the oil
and the root preserve the wood and keep
the furniture in excellent color and APP
pearance. The time-honored beeswas
and turpentine, used by our grandmoth-
ers for polishing furniture, is still as
good polisher as can be found.

At the left side there is a large

SHE HUNG HERSELF
Mrs. Lon Holding Attempts to
End Her Life.
CHOSE TWO.WAYS T0DEATH
Symptoms of Poison OiscOv-
cred by Physician.
CHOSE TWO.WAYS TODEATF

Mrs. Lon Holding made an attempt to
end her sorrows. OF which her life had
seemed overburdened. by hanging herself
yesterday morning at IL o'clock. She oc-
cupied cell in the county jail. waiting to
be tried for her sanity, information of
insanity having been fled by her son
Gall on last Friday. Mrs. Holding had
been unusually composed and cheerful
all morning. though she had not been
visited by but few persons, with the ex-
ception of her son Gail, who called just
a few hours before she attempted to de-
stroy herself. Mrs. Holding had also
taken poison, but how she got the drug
no one seems TO know. There we're symp-
toms of poisoning, however, and DR..
Jordan so informed persons who asked
about the peculiar twitch!ng of her
muscles, the froth that issued from her
mouth and the set jaws, which no one
could open.
Mrs. Holding made every possible prep
aration to die. She hung a laprobs up at
the door Of her cell and then hurredly
undressed and robed herself in a clean
white night gown. Taking her under
waist she tied one end of it to the upper
and outside lattice work of the window
and the other around her neck. She laid
her false teeth on the shelving and bum
died her clothing neatly. Then she
climbed up on the lattice work and jump
ed of. Her feet barely Tested upon the
floor, but she hung for several minutes
and not even the person in the gljoining
cell could hear anything going wrong.
Two ladies were visiting the jail and
when they came 10 Mrs. Holdings cell,
they could see just the top of her head
over the laprobe which she had hung
up at the door. They called Turnkey
DOdds attention to the peculiar pose of the
head and the pale skin Of her forehead,
and Mr.. Dodd peeped over the laprobe
and at once realized the meaning Of the
scene. Attorney c. c. Stanley had also
noticed Mrs. Holding from the opposite
side Of the corridor. Mr.. Dodd rush ed
down for his keys and summoned help
and opened the door as quickly as pos
sible and cut the garment so as 4, let
the victim down. County Physician JOr-
dan and DR.. Shuts were notified. Mrs.
Holding was unconscious. She was barely
breathing and her eyes and jaws were
set. Her neck was blue and the skin was
slightly broken where the knot came in
contact with It.
Mrs. Holding fingered between life and
death nearly all afternoon lin the little
cell, but, as hope for her recovery grew
stronger, the county physician ordered her
removed to the city hospital, where she
now lies, and is said to be improving.

TACKETT HEARD FROM
His Dead Body Said to Have
Been Found
BURIED IN A HAY STACK
Mr.. Benton Relates a Startling
Story, If True.
BURIED IN A HAY STACK

A report was brought to the city yes
terday afternoon by Mr.. Benton, engineer
at the court house, of the finding OF the
dead body Of Tackett, the Jail breaker,
in hay stack five miles west Of this
city. Nothing more definite could be
learned last night, except the meagre par
ticulars Mr.. Benton had told persons
about the court house and jail, and It Is
thought the officers will go out today to
look into the matter and see IL such a
lucky thing could be possible. It is known
that when Tackett performed one Of the
most daring and ingenious jailbr1Kes in
this city last winter ever heard of in the
annals of crime, that it was very cold
and for several weeks thereafter the Of
ficers almost looked for some o. the es-
capped convicts to freeze to death in their
effort to get out of the country as quickly
as possible. One of them named Alley.
who was afterwards caught. did freeze
SO badly that he was compelled to stop
at a farm house in Butler county, which
necessity was the means of his capture.
Mr.. Benton Is reported to have said yes
terday that he was sure this was the
body OF Tackett. A person who knew all
about Tackett that night and was with
him part of the time. under the promise
not to reveal his name, told some farm
ers out west that he staid with Tackett
as long as possible, when he had to leave
him He told certain persons where the
body could be found, IL Tackett had frozen
to death. The parties took the mans
word and found the body in straw
stack, where It had been frozen and was
partly covered with straw.
II tn report has any foundation. and the
body proves to be that OF Tackett It will
be the means of ending a. ceaseless search
which Sheriff Simmons has been carrying
on ever since the night of the jailbceak.
So badly was Tackett wanted that tie
re ward was doubled for him, and sheT!fts,
constables, policemen and detectives ali
over the country have been on the look
out for him.

Of the mississippi Congress on this
point was in the nature Of compromise,
that the fight indicated the growing d.
lvergence in interest between the two con-
crosses and that the result is conceded by
many irrigationists as a virtual victory
for Governor Murphy Of Arizona, VINO
represented the state cession sentiment.
The truth is, the action of the Trans
Mississippi Congress is in exact harmony
with that taken by the Irrigation Con-
gress both last year and the year previ-
Gus. In fact, the Trans-Mississippi Con-
gress adopted, without the change Of
word or a comma, the clause which the
Irrigation congress adopted last year con-
corning state ceSsion. This clause is as
follows:
d" Resolved, That the Trans-Mississippi
Congress endorses the following resolu-
tons which embOdy the resolutions and
policy advocated by the National Irriga-
tional Congress as to a national ard state
irrigation policy for the reclamation and
settlement of ard America. We favor
the cession of the public lands TO the re-
spective states and territories only upon
conditions so strict that they will insure
the settlement OF such lands by actual
settlers in small tracts and absolutely pre-
vent their monopoly in large bodies by
private ownership
at will be seen that while state cession
is endorsed. it is endorsed so Professionally
as to absolutely prohibit monopoizing
land in large areas. Governor Murphy de-
sired absolute cession 10 the states and
territories. which would enable legisla-
ture TO do whatever they pleased with the
land-give It away in million acre tracts
If they desired. The above clause was not
accepted by Governor Murphy rs a COM
promise. II was introduced with the other
Irrigation Congress resolutions by George
w Maxwell of San Francisco. the most
determined opponent of the unconditional
state cession scheme at the congress, who
maintained that the Trans-M!ssissippi
Congress should adopt in toto the reso-
lutions Of the National Irrigation Con-
gress, as the certified copy of the resolu-
lions which have in my pocket VIII
show.
THE advocates of irrigation can now go
TO the congress of the United States with
the unanimous resolutions of the National
Irrigation congress, representing sixteen
states and the likewise unanimous. resolu-
lions of the Mississippi congress,
endorsing this same resolution and repre-
senting twenty-four states, in favor Of
the policy of federad storage reservoirs"
BACKACHE should never be neglected.

to run too long, will result in Brishts

TIGER BILL GONE
He Quits Wichita for Other
Fields.
MOVED TO MISSOURI
Family Will Follow Him in
the Fall.

Judge W. P. Campbell. known all over
the United States as Tiger Bill" the
champion of the cause Of prohibition in
Wichita, has gone. He left Wichita yes
terday for Howe county. Missouri, where
he will make his future home. Mr..
Campbell has helped to make history in
Wichita since the time that the city has
been helping to make the history of the
state. His whisky war in Wichita was
the most famous in the United States Of
the character, and while he lost he had
the admiration of even his enemies, for
the rigid manner in which he maintained
the fight for the cause to which he was
appointed. He never wavered even within
he was alone.
Mr.. Campbells family will follow his
later. Thousands of people in this city
who had no sympathy or the cause which
he champ.oned will very sincerely regret
his departure.
