MRS. HARRIET CLARK.

Mrs. Harriet Clark, an old resident of
Albion Prairie, passed away in death at
the home of her daughter, Mrs. FL. Croft
in Edgerton Friday, March I'd, 1900. She
was born July 4th, 1925, at Duredale,
Yorkshire, England, near Hudersfeld.
She was the tenth child and the oldest
daughter in family of thirteen chill
dren born to Mr.. and Mrs John Hobsen.
At the age of q, in the year 1916, she
gave her hand in marriage to John G.
Clark at Pension church, England. Two
years later, Aug. 18th, they came to
America and settled on Albion Prairie,
where they lived the remainder of their
days. Mr.. Clark was called by the angel
of death April 30th, 1880, leaving pa
tient and atfectionate wife with seven
children to mourn the loss. During her
years of widowhood she was known by
all to be kind and patient Christian
and passed away with the smile of her
Maker resting upon her.
A short funeral service was held at her
daughters, Mrs. Croft in Edgerton.
From there the remains were taken to
the old homestead at Albion Prairie,
where another short service was held
with song and prayer and an address by
j. r. Lindsey. The abundance of flow
ers which covered the coffin, in part ex-
pressed the love cherished in the hearts
of children and friends for kind neigh
Dor and loving and loved mother. She
was laid to rest by the side of her hus-
band in Albion Prairie cemetery.

 The funeral of George w. Stephen son, held last Wednesday afternoon, was perhaps the largest ever held on the Island. The Mexican mine and mill were closed down and the employ ees attended in body. The officers of the company were also in attendance. The services at the church consisted of the singing of appropriate music by quartette choir, the reading of an i'm pressive scripture lesson by Pastor Cole, tender, touching prayer and a short biographical sketch of the life of the deceased. MT. Stephenson was a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Knights of Pythias and the Masons. and tn csc orders were well represented. Notwithstanding the in clemency of the weather very large crowd followed the remains to their last resting place at Evergreen Ceme- tery, Juneau, where the last sad rites were conducted by the I. O. o. F. lodge of this city.

Annie Maud Mcdonald has passed from this earth to a brighter, fairer ex- istence, where no sorrow can ever come. Her life was indeed sad one, for, at an early age while child at school, she was the victim of an accident that threw a dark cloud over her bright young mind, partially dethroning her reason. Her life was one of purity and sinlessness. She never wished to do a wrong, and always remembered the teachings of the good Sisters who in- stiIled into her heart the lessons, that were guide to her life and a lamp to her pathway. What more, can we say? We, who stand almost upon the shore of that vast eternity, with the waters of that dark river Death, splashing on our feet. Will it be said of us that our life was one of sinless purity? Yes, Annie Mcdonald is gone, but all that was good in her life is before us. And now she has gone to that last sleep, "a sleep without dreams"

When The Cut Is Made.

It is a common thing to observe that merchants advertise cut prices on goods. The Treadwell store makes the cut when the goods are first received. All the merchandise in that mammoth establishment is bought in large lots with a spot cash discount, and with no wharfage and low freight rates, the Treadwell people can undersell any thing in Alaska and are doing it, too. Have you ever seen the line of ladies' dress goods, or in fact everything woman needs at that place? On mems wear it beats everything. If you want the best at the lowest prices go to Treadwell.

At recent meeting of the North Star Lodge No. ? K. P. of Douglas, the following resolutions were adopted: Whereas our Brother Geo. W.

 Resolved, that these resolutions be placed on the records of our lodge. A copy be sent to the family of the de- ceased brother and copy to our local paper for publication.

Annie ncDonaId Found.

Last Saturday afternoon two of the employees of the Sheep Creek mines were walking along the beach toward Juneau. When they were nearly oppo- site the Douglas City wharf they dis covered body that had been washed up on the beach. They immediately notified the authorities at Juneau who had the body removed to that city. Judge Howell was summoned and he impaneled jury composed of citizens of Juneau, for the purpose of holding an inquest. After short session in Juneau, they adjourned to Douglas City, at the suggestion of Mir. J. F. Me- Donald.
 The body was badly decomposed but from the clothing worn, MT. Me- Donald identified it as that of his daughter Annie, who disappeared from her home in Douglas City on Dec. 23rd 1899. Mrs. Mcdonald corroborated this statement.
 In this city numerous witnesses were summoned to appear before the jury but their testimony failed to throw any light on the question. The jury was then excused until Monday, when after hearing the testimony of medical ex- pert, Dr. Damorette, and several others they returned verdict as follows:
 THE VERDICT.
 We the jurors duly impaneled and sworn to enquire into the death of a person whose body was found on March 10th on the beach between Juneau and Sheep Creek, do upon our oaths from the evidence find that the name of the deceased was Annie Maud Me Donald, the daughter of J. F. McDon- aid and Elizabeth Mcdonald, that she was 23 years of age and was born in Oregon, and that she came to her death by drowning either by suicide or ac- cident on or about the 23rd day of Dec. 1899. And so far as W e have been able to ascertain there are no person or per sons responsible for the death of the said Annie Maud Mcdonald.

RUSSIAN coNoUEsTs.

Correspondence Of Associated Prsss.)
TIEN TsIN. Oct. 15.-The meagre ac-
counts which reach here Of Russian op-
erations to the north indicate that
they have the situation fairly well in
hand. The reports are lacking in de-
tail and coming from Russian sources
are considered incomplete.
Little is known Of the campaign
along the Amur river. The Russians as
sert that they have generally been sue
cessful but news percolating in from
traders and other indirect sources does
not bear this out. It is rumored that
several small commands and garrisons
have suffered greatly. New Chwang
was taken September "a. though there
are few details of the affair. Around
Hal Cheng they have been strengthen
ing their positions. making occasional
demonstrations to the north and west
as it was rumored that heavy force
was descending on Moukden.
In the latter part Of September the
Russians occupied An Shan and Lao
Gang and on October entered Mouk-
den. the principal city Of Manchuria.
The best information shows that no
resistance was offered at Moukden.

TREATY REvTsIoN.

NEW YORK. Nov. is-The conclusion
seems to have been reached in Pekin to
conclude peace with China without un-
isrtaking at present the complete re-
vision Of the treaties OF commerce. says
a dispatch from Washington to the
Journal OF Commerce.
A general article VIII be inserted in
the treaty ot peace subscribed by the
powers providing that China shall con-
sent 70 the revision OF the treaties OF
commerce but shall deal with each
power separately. Whether the result
Of these negotiations viii Be SO satlsfac-
tory as a general treaty guaranteeing
to the citizens and subjects of all the
powers c0mpi.te freedom q traffic In
the interior of China remains 20 be
seen.
II appears to be thought at the state
department and among some Of the
ministers at Pekin that difficulties
and delay would arise in seeking 20
deal with desired changes In detail at
present. II may be possible for the
leading powers 10 secure concessions
regarding Interior trade which win
drive the entering wedge for like con-
lessions to all. Most Of the powers are
entitled to the privileges of the most
favored nation" and win be able 70 ask
for themselves whatever Is granted 70
any Of the ether powers The fact that
the Chinese imperial government con-
sents to the revision OF the treaties as
a general proposition is considered at
Washington an important point for Sc
curing what the civilized powers de-
slre.
The process OF obtaining further con-
eessioos may be slow but it Is hope'
that pressure upon the Chinese govern
ment viii secure them as fast as they
can be availed II. Many Of the conces-
sions heretofore granted by China TO
capitalists aud syndicates have been lit
lie more than waste paper because the
syndicates have not proceeded TO carry
out their plans. When a syndicate or
group Of capitalists is able to demon
strate readiness tc proceed with actual
improvements in China It is believed at
the state department that little difficult
ty will be experienced in getting the
consent Of the Chinese government.
