 Mrs. Mitchell of Treadwell is slowly, but surely recovering from very seri- ous illness.
 Just received a large shipment of Lane & Connolly cigars at the Douglas News Depot. You will save freight by buying from us.
 The name and picture of Henry Clay on every box of cigars that bears that name. Try them They are made by McGuirk & Go. of Juneau.
 Jager of the Juneau Steam Laundry knows the laundry business from start to finish. Tell him now you want your work done, and he will please you.
 An unknown tramp died suddenly while sitting on a whiskey barrel in Kansas City, thus making close connec- tion between the spirits of both worlds.
 Some like the Marguerite, others the Huband others the Henry Clay;you will find they are all good, because McGuirk & Co. make none but the best.
 A Marguerite cigar cured Douglas Island man of the blues last Saturday afternoon. The fact is that that brand of cigars beats everything in the cigar market.
 If you are a smoker remember that the genuine Marguerite cigars have a union mark which is the unmistakable Blue Label. When you smoke that ci- gar. call for the Blue Label every time.
 Those people who have not patron ized the Juneau Steam Laundry, and there are very few, will regret their failure of having done so if they will only send a trial order. They do excel lent work.
 We were pleased to dine with Broth CT Hunter up at the Crows Nest one day last week. Four foremen board there and it is hemost swell" and Sex elusive" place in Alaska. Talk about a good hotel or restaurant, it is not "iu it" with the Crows Nest.
 The Treadwell people have about 100 fine hogs up by the Ready Bullion mill. A Jap tried to feed them on shaVings as the News man passed the other day, but pigs that are raised on the leavings from the tables of the boarding houses could not be fooled that way.
 The Treadwell school board compos- ed of Mir. R. J. Willis and Steward Mackie does not lack in patriotism. Evidence to that effect is found by the placing of flag pole on the school house in that district. Of course they have a flag which is up on all proper occasions.
 We regret our absence from the office when Dr. Cough of the Miner and Prof. Oldendorf of the Alaska Drug Go. call, ed on us last Friday evening. These men are both excellent subjects for missionary work ard we would have enjoyed getting in some work on them. 1 Call again, gentlemen.
 First class cooking and attendance ] is the order of the day at the Gem res taurant. Dune. is making every effort to please his customers, and has lately secured the services of most compe- tent young lady as waitress. His charges are reasonable and we wish him success. Give him trial.
 W. R. Bacon is the name of sleek looking duck who came up on the Al Xxi to accept a position as salesman in the Treadwell store. He appears to | have come from hustling stock which added to genial social qualities, will make him as popular as the other clerks in that Mercantile establishment.

SKULL
OF au Usage Farmer Found
Evidences Of Murder.

Pawuee, okla, Jan. l7.--A man
named Loper, living in the Usage In
dian reservation between Ralston and
Usage City, brought TO this place the
bones Of man which he believes are
those Of former neighbor, Thomas
Bentley. shortly before the opening
Of the Cherokee strip Bentley, who us
rally carried considerable money, said
he intended 10 run for a claim. he
employed boy to take care OF bis
farm In his absence. The next day
both Bentley and his team disappear
ed snd were never heard of again. A
short time ago boy told Loper that
while hunting iu the brakes of the
Arkansas he had found a grave. Loper
and others went to the grave and exs
humed the body. The grave was not
over eighteen inches deep. The hea
OF the body had been pushed down
between the knees, There were evi-
dences of murder, as there was hole
in the skull behind the right ear,
which looked as il it had been made
with a hatchet. The blow had craCl r
ed the skull across TO the left ear
Loper believes that the body is that of
Bentley for this reason: When Bent-
ley was a boy he received blow on
the head which nearly caused his
death. His skull was fractured and
Bentley often showed the scar TO his
neighbors. The skull in Loper's pc.
session has an old fracture exactly In
the same place. Bentley had relatives

A correspondent of Knowl-
edge tells a curious story of a
mare which was accustomed
while feeding in a field to stand
under a low spreading branch
of an elm tree, which just
touched her back, and to sway
her body to and fro in order to
enjoy the brushing. One win
ter the branch was removed,
but the next spring, when the
mare was turned into the field,
she placed herself day after
day on the same spot, and
swayed backward and forward
apparently at loss to under.
stand what had become of her
fan.
Did you ever hear of fish
getting struck by lightning!
They do, and the Pennsylvania
Fish Commission has Just COM
pleted an investigation of what
at first thought would seem to
be phenomenon. The brown
trout is peculiarly susceptible
to lightning. During storms,
and particularly in the noun
tainous sections of Pennsylvania,
large quantities of them are
killed. Other kinds of fish,
with less sensitive organisms,
are not affected. Experts claim
that the secret lies in the fact
that the brown trout rests on
the bottom OF the streams,
whereof the other fish swim not
quite so deep, The trout are
not literally struck by light
ming, but the electricity is con-
Quoted to the bottom of the
stream if there is any iron in
the rocks, and the fish thus re-
ceive shock. They become
paralyzed, but do not die at
once. The paralysis exists
chiefly in the back of the body,
at the spine.
