DIES AS GUESTS ARE ARRIVING.
Mrs. Nora Baylcy Jones of 81 Astor
street Suddenly Taken Away.

The death OF Mrs. Nora Bayley
Jones, wife of David b. Jones, 62 AS
tor street, was extremely sudden. Mrs.
Jones had issued cards for u large
evening reception and the guests were
about due when the hostess was taken
violently i'll, and, on the summoning
of physicians, was pronounced beyond
the reach of human skill.
guests who were on the way to the
Jones mansion were hurriedly inform
ed of the sad occurrence AZ they ar
rived ia front of the residence.
Mrs. Jones was Az years of age, aud
besides her husband, five children sur
vive her. Funeral arrangements are
not completed, The obsequics will be
held from the house tomorrow ut II
o'clock. DR.. hoffman, pastor of the
Fourth Presbyterian church, will con
duct the services, assisted by DR.. &.
M. Mcclure, president of Lake Forest
University. The remains will be taken
to Lake Forest for intcrment, the bur-
ial to be private.
Tho above we take from The Sunday
Times Herald, of March 10th, and to
It we would add that Mrs. Jones for
mer homo was plattovile. Here she
passed her childhood, and here Mr..
Jones met and married here, She also
spent nearly two years in this city
when Mr.. Jones bought the Mineral
Point Zinc Works. For these reasons
Mrs. Jones was we'll and favorably
known in these parts, Those who en-
ioyed her acquaintance and friendship
always spoke of her kind heart and
generous hospitality. Although u so
cial factor, wherever she was, these de-
mauds never made her neglect hen

filled in the most admirable way. Tn,

What to DO Until the Doctor Arrives.

1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while await
ing the arrival of the doctor. An
Albany ( N. " dairyman called at a
drug store there for a doctor to come
and see his child, then very sick with
Group. Not finding the doctor in, he
left word for him to come at once on
his return. He also bought a bottle of
Chamberlain Cough Remedy, which
he hoped would give some relief until
the doctor should arrive. In few
hours he returned, saying the doctor
need not come, as the child was much
better. The druggist, Mr.. Otto Scholz,
says the family has since recommended
Chamberlain Cough Remedy to their
ueighbors and friends until he has a
constant demand for it from that part
of the country. For sale by Nivian's

There is no denying that Superin-
tendent Harvey's school reform plan
does not move forward as he expected.
1t was n radical departure, and new
things always move slowly. The pa
pers over the state have opposed 1t,
many Of them not understanding it.
Some of them still think Harvey is him
self to appoint all county superinten-
dents There is dread of surrendering
any of the powers of the people,
which is a good thing to be on guard
against Somehow a lot OF people seem
to think that to have some of the best
educators in the state appoint these SUI
perintendents, instead of having them
win out" themselves at a caucus and
be voted for at the polls, is an encroach-
ment of trusts, Pierpont Morgans and
organized wealth on the rights of the
dear people. 1t is nonsense, but public
sentiment IS hard prick to kick
against, so Superintendent Harvey will
have to try another tack for the pres
ent. If in two or even four years he
betters the country schools, II will be a
great life work. and entitle him to q
marble shaft as high as the Park hotel.
understand that the bill may be
amended to continue an elective super
intendency. but to throw the election
into the spring. apart from the partisan
disturbances of fall politics. and es-
recially to recast the districts to con-
form 10 the plan OF the Harvey bill.

At that time Amer jeans were allowed to join the caravan enrOute to the City of Mecca as they were leaving be- hind in Canadian cotfers vast amounts in payment of supplies. Today it would hardly avail any = thing to spring the Edmonton or Ashcroft routes as practical routes to Atlin and the result is that the Canadians close the dis trict to Americans at the last mo- mpnt and add another cruel in Us tice to an already long list which will be held up at the day of reckoning.

It appears that the Canadian mounted police have hoisted the English flag on the Stileen riv- CT within American territory md and are collecting duties on American goods which never en- ter Canada. It would appear that this is certainly unjust and American authorities shoule not only put a stop to the practice but should also see that the Eng fish flag is kept off American soil.

 We will arrange to exhibit specimens of rock in one of our large office windows, and invite claim owners to leave their specimens with us for inspection by the public. We will receive such specimens upon the follow ing conditions only:
 The owner must state the name of the lOcation; date and place of location; if assays are had, a copy of the assay, giving name of assayer: the amount of work done upon the claim; il short we want from each person leaving specimens. an open and honest statement of everything relating to the location which will give an intelligent conception of it.
 If the property is for sale we will try to sell it for fair com mission. If capital is needed to aid in development, we will en deavour to supply it.
 Our paper is growing in cir culation and influence and we will be pleased to give the widest circulation to it's mining depart ment. We hope the business mon of the town will sec the possible advantages to be deriV- ed from thlS effort, and that they will do what they can to create a splendid exhibit for the infor- nation of those who will in the future visit us with a view ot purchasing or developing mining property.

SATURDAY.. FER, II, 1899.

The news of trouble between the United States Customs off
 cerS and the Canadian Mounted Police at the Canadian boundary near Ska9Way is the forerunner of a chain of events. incident to the enactment of OdiOuS leUisla- ton, which is bound to ensue on Lynn canal during the coming spring and summer. Our Cana dian cousins seem to be making a great effort to retard the devel- opement of the Atlin country. The passing of the Alien Min ing law by the British Columbi- an Provincial parliament was but the first step in that direc- ton. This law was closely fol-
 lowed by the announcement on the part of the Atlin district Gold Commissioner of rules and regulations covering the Atlln district relative to buildings and filings which works the greatest hardship not alone to aliens but to Canadian miners and mer- chants. And now, as though enough had not been done, comes the arrest of American Customs officers for no greater OtfenSe than that of being caught on American soil. As a result the Deputy Collector of the port of SlagWay has no alternative but to close the port to all merchant
 disc destined to the interior. This condition cannot exist for any length of time. They must either improve or become worse and from present appearances the latter will become a fact. If the Canadians persist in keeping Aliens out of Atlin they must look for trouble from the great number of Americans who have been led to believe that they had a right in that country and who on that supposition have invest ed their all in an effort to reach the land of promise. After all is said and done there is no doubt but what the in justice being worked in this case is no greater than was worked last spring when prospectors not inured to hardships were started on an ov- erland trip to the Klondike via Ashcroft and Edmonton dis tance of over 2OOO miles through a wilderness. Enough has al ready been said about the hard ships of the trip. It was describ- ed as pleasant trip through a paradise. The poor mans route
