A Plastered House.

We have heard much controversy over the question as to whether plaster will hold on the walls of the buildings on Douglas Island. Many contend that it will not. At the invitation of MT. F. w. Hoyt we visited the new house he is building for himself in this city. It has just been treated to two coats of plaster by MT. c. G. Groser, who by the way is a first class mechanic and understands his work, as glance at this job will bear witness. MT. Groser is from Jacksonville, Florida, and has had almost unlimited eX- perience in his line. He says that if he had this Treadwell sand, asit is called ground quartz-in some places it would prove little mine.
 The walls of MT. Hoyt's house are as smooth as putty and when you pound them with your knuckles they ring, everything is so solid and compact. Will it stand? Why! its got to stand. It can't get off.
 This is first plastered house on Douglas Island, except room up over the old carpenter shop at Tread well, that was was plastered some four or five years ago by carpenter Bodwell.

 The fourteen year old son of Mir. CottrelI, who went to AtIin City some time ago in search of gold, writes the following interesting letter home to his parents:
 Dear Mamma:-I thought would write you few lines. We'll, we have got a claim and are taking out eX- penses, we will probably do better after while. We are located on Willow creek, about eight and a half miles from Atlin. When you write to sister tell her I will send her a nugget as soon as the boats run. 1 saw Guy Fal- coner, he is as poor as a rail. Jim, my partner, is going to Atlin tomorrow, so I thought I would write you a few lines. We are all we'll and hearty, eX- cept Uncle Johnnie, who has been sick for a while, but who is well now. The country looks very promising. l think there is show of making little money this summer. l found big louse on me the other day. FRED.
 The Jim referred to Is Jas. Boyle, formerly employed at FoX's store.

Almost any school boy knows that the Presidents salary now is S5O,O00 per year, but few probably know of the "perquisites" which are allowed the head of the nation. The allowances for his private secretary, the clerks, koorkeepers, messengers, steward and three other servants cost S33,865 year; contingent fund, to be used at the Presidents discretion, S8,0OO; for furni- ture and repairs, 516,OOO; for fuel, s3,OOO; for repairs to the greenhouse, S4,0O0.
 Altogether the findings" aggregate S64,865 year, the sum total being S1l4.S65.

It will be gratifying to the civilized world if the peace conference at The Hague succeeds in enlarging the op- portunities of nations to submit their differences to arbitration, rather than appealing to the sword. Revising the rules of warfare may be all well enough, but a people who are taught to chant "Peace on earth and good will to men, would like to see an international code adopted that will eliminate such rules in their entirety. Ofcourse, conditions are not yet ripe for such a consumma- tion and, instead, the civilized world will welcome a scheme for arbitrating all international difficulties.

The true American spirit is shown in the letter written to the War Depart. ment by the father of Col. Stotsenburg of the Nebraska regiment, who was killed in the Philippines. The father wrote: Il think it cOnsolatory that my son died as a soldier would choose to die, and it is further comfort that the Republic has many, many such sons, who will work and die for it's glory and honor"

The Third Nebraska regiment, that did service in Cuba last summer, was recently mustered out, but has notified President Mckinley that it is ready to reorganize and take the place of the First Nebraska in the Philippines.

Nearly every steamer that brings re- ports from Alaska conveys information of new strikes in all parts of Alaska and the Northwest.

The situation in Cuba does not seem to be as promising as it might be, and it is yet difficult to tell how matters will turn out down there. The trouble seems to be to get the Cuban army dis banded and returned to the avocations of peace. Matters do not seem to work as smoothly as when the great Union and Confederate armies disbanded and went home in 1865. Then all of the Union soldiers and the most of the Confederates took up the implements of peace and went to work as though nothing had happened. But the Cuban is not built that way, and all sorts of troubles are growing out of the disposal of the S3,OO0,000 offered by this govern to the Cuban army on condition that it disband and turn over it's guns to the American authorities. General Gomez, the Cuban leader, does not seem to. be able to convince his people that the United States is acting in good faith and for the welfare of the Cubans, and has thrown up the job, not, how ever, without issuing an address to his countrymen urging them to go to their homes and work to rebuild their de- vastated island. There is a great prob lem down there that yet remains to be solved.

The Kidney Complexion.

The pale, sallow, snnken-cheeked, dis
ed-looking people you so often meet are
afflicted with Kidney Complexion"
Their kidneys are turning to a parsnip
color. So is their complexion.
They may also have indigestion, or suffer
from sleeplessness, rheumatism, neuralgia,
brain trouble, nervous exhaustion and some
times the heart acts badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney disease
does not find out what the trouble is until il
is almost too late, because the first symptoms
are so like mild sickness that they do moi
think they need medicine or doctor until
they find themselves sick in bed.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root will build up
and strengthen their weak and diseased
kidneys purify their diseased, kidney.
poisoned blood, clear their complexion and
soon they will enjoy better health.
You can get the regular sizes at the drug
store, at fifty cents and one dollar, or you
may first prove for yourself the wonderful
virtues of this great discovery, Swamp-Root
