the refinements of civilized life. He
had enough money to buy modest

roughed it before this time. He and
his partner went in by the Chilcoot
Pass in 1897 and tralnped the whole
way. They had sledge and four Irish
settlers. with twelve hundred pounds of
freight. The partner being the
stronger, buckled himself into the har-

the sledsc and push. There are no

will plunge the walker to the waist.
The Canadian Government has done
nothing to better the condition of the
trails. This fact, coupled with the ex-
orbitant fees charged the miners by
that government, have led the prospec-
tors. at more than one point on the
trails. to set UP boards with this 6eri-
sIve motto:
Millions for tribute. but not one cent
for roads,"
The gold seeker himself carefully re-
Trains from doing anything more to the
trails than will serve to help him out Of
present difficulties and to carry him on
his way.
The first important thing Middleton
learned was to swear Everybody

Arrested.
Louisville. KY, Fehyuary 1.-THE re-
publican nrembuFs OF TIE Legislature have
been making threats TO arrest absent dem
ocratic members. Judge Alex p. Hum.
phrey OF this city, one OF their own ooun
sci, says that the Constitution Of the
United States has been confused with the
Kentucky constitution. The Constitution
OF the United States gives a minority OF
the members OF the house the privilege to
arrest ahsent members and to punish them
for not attending,
The constitution of Kentucky is alto
gether different II gives the legislature
power TO arrest absent members when q
quorum can not be obtained by other
means, and 10 punish them providing a
law Is passed allowing the legislature to
go act Since the adoption OF the now
constitution no such law has been passed
and minority OF the legislature IS with
put power. There Is no doubt OF this and
in case any arrests are made they viii be
Illegal, and habeas corpus proceedings
would doubtless result In the release Of
those arrested.
Governor Beckham said today mo
member OF the legislature who comes TO
Louisville need fear arrest. | shall not al
low any member Of the general assembly
TO be arrested"
When asked what measure would be
adopted to prevent the arrest of members
of the legislature, should II be attempted.
Governor Beckham said that he was fully
prepared to protect the legislature and 10
arrest any person who interfered with it's
members, hut further than that he would
make no statement.
