In one of his letters he says that from Dawson he went to Cape Nome where he expected to win ter, but in going from St. Michaels to Nome, he lost the bag containing his winter clothes. Arriving at Nome, he bought his winter supply of grub, but concluded that his Ice "Cream" clothes and underwear would be so entirely unsuited for the winter climate that he skipped out for Seattle where he will spend the winter.

Iudre Adnms,s Death.

Judge F. G. Adams, who has for so many years, as secretary of the Kansas State Historical Society, been one of the states most valued servants, is dead. Few people of the state, however, have any conception of the extent and importance of the work so long in his charge, or its great value to the state.
 He was peculiarly fitted for and de- votedly faithful to his duties and re- sponsibilities. From a personal ac- uuaintance with him we learned to hon. or and respect him as a cultured christian gentleman of the highest type.
 His daughter, Miss Zoo, who has been his constant help and support in the work for years, and who has as sumed the responsibilities during the time her father has been unable phys ically to attend the office, and will probably be his successor, to which we say amen. No other person in Kansas can come so near filling her fathers place as she.-Lyndon, Kan, Current Remark.
 The editor first met Judge Adams more than twenty-five years ago and he was then secretary of the Kansas State Historical Society, the building of which, was his ife's greatest work.
 He was one of the kinest, mildest, most capable men that ever lived and the newspaper men of the state always called on him while visiting the Capital City. We know of no Kansan who is more deserving of monument than Judge Adams and her grateful people will no doubt in an appropriate manner perpetuate his memory to the future generations.

Judge W. A. Kelly was in the city last week and made our public schools a visit. He has ordered some improve ments in the school house grounds which will be made during the present vacation.
 The Judge is the special agent of the Census department for Southeastern Alaska and has been very busy of late selecting local census takers as agents.
 Judge Kelly is thorough Alaskan and has been in this district for the past fifteen years. He remains in Alaska as a matter of choice for he is much in love with his island home at Sitka. He is almost fifty years of age and is native of Western Pennsyl- vania. He taught school for ten years and was local superintendent of schools in the east for seven years and has made teaching his favorite pro- fession. He came to Alaska to take charge of the public schools at Juneau, but was transferred to Sitka and was made superintendent of the Training school in that city, position he held for six years at the end of which time, be was appointed U. s. Commissioners at Fort Wrangle and discharged the duties of that office for four and a half years. He resigned this place to attend the National republican conven- ton at St. Louis as an Alaska delegate.
 After his return from St. Louis, thir- teen of the teachers in the Sitka school petitioned for his return to the super intendency of that school and he accepted the position and has remained in charge of the same ever since. Those who have never visited that school will be surprised to know that there are a dozen buildings connected with that institution which includes a valuable museum. The average of at tendance of scholars is 125 and the natives are taught the different trades while the girls are given thorough training in homework, besides the good common school education which they receive. Three of he teachers are natives and have worked their way up to their positions.
 Judge Kelly is very pleasant, agree able man, polished and we'll educated and no fault is ever found with any of the work he has ever done. His relia, bility and honest, straightforward course has made him valuable man for the government for fifteen years.
