he protested vigorously against such
legislation by the east. The west, he
said had already suffered enough from
criminals from the east He did not want
murderers, robbers and foragers to sit
upon juries TO try honest men. The jury
system had received very many severe
blows, but this bill was the worst, max
ing. as It did, the jurybox in Alaska the
haven Of rest for eastern criminals.
Dayton, Republican of West Virginia)
and Payne republican, of New York;
thought such criticism Of the east unjust
and 1t was suggested that all the states
are east Of Alaska. Underwood demo
crat, OF Alabama) moved to recommtt the
bill to the committee on revision of laws
with instructions to incorporate a sec
ton barring felons from sitting on juries.
underwood's motion was lost and the
bill was passed.

Sept. -, 1899.
Lovely fall weather every day.
There is some complaint of scarci-
ty of water, even the big swamp be-
tween Germantown and this place
is completely dry, which is rather
strange, as Rev. Bjornson tells us the
country around Germantown is still
quite wet. Some of the farmers have
to drive their stock quite distance
to little streams and lakes every day
for water.
Rev. Bjornson rather surprised his
congregation here last Sunday by
marching in with his eighteen-year-
old bride, whom he had brought from
Wisconsin last week. After recover
ing somewhat from the surprise, we
all wed with each other in trying to
make her welcome into this somewhat
wild country, which is to be her
future home. We all thought she
was just perfect, and may Gods rich
est blessing rest on their union so as
to make their lives both happy and
useful, and, as John wrote to Gaius,
may they prosper and be in health,
even as their souls prosper.
III. John 2.
Our Sunday school is doing fine,
thanks to the Dear Lord who gives us
all the blessings of life.
The grain crops are good, and con-
sidering the newness of the country,
extra fine. Some of the oats are late,
but as we have not had the slightest
frost there is a possibility that the
late will ripen as nicely as the earlier.
