THEclubdoctor had gone away look
ing very serious, and promising to
call again in half an hour, after he had
been to see another patient. He was
thinking that by that time his patient
might have died or recovered con-
seriousness, in either of which cases he
would be able to express more de-
cided opinion about her symptoms.
At present they puzzled him, and he
contented himself with looking grave.
patting John Emanuel on the back
and telling him to keep up heart and
hope for the best. When he was gone
the husband sat and stared at the fire,
with his empty pipe in his hand. There
was certain enjoyment in the knowl-
edge that everybody in the village
would soon be talking about his wife's
accident.
''Tha naaborsll mebbe COON in ia
see Soosan," he said, aloud, reflective
~; and he put down the empty pipe on
the mantel shelf, with its cheap clock
that seemed to tick more loudly than
usual, and its two pot dogs, which
smiled as foolishly as ever, in spite of
the calamity which had come to the
house.
There was gentle tap at the door
before he could sit down, and John
Emanuels face took shade of deeper
gravity and Importance as he crossed
the room to open it.
"Oh. it's thoo, Cousin Sarah" he
said, as buxom woman of 80 or SO en-
tered. "A thowt tn news be getting
roond the place.
ITS rare an sad news" said Cousin
Sarah, as she shut the door behind her.
"A met tn doctor, as a wor coomin'.

'I'ha woan't find another like her in |

been skirmishing around the place
while she talked, and had just discov-

to lay on the wooden table in a
bustling, workmanlike manner.
"A man nun have his vittles. COON

inquiring glance. All be boond tha's

"A ha'n't thowt on it." said John
Emanuel, looking little brighter, as
the bustling woman poked up the low
fire and put on the kettle.

she returned to the table; and John
Emanuel nodded.

CITIZENS VO|E IN
 FAVOR 0F LICENSE
  Electors Grant Saloons Per. mission to Do Business. BUT LITTLE OPPOSITION
N BUT LITTLE OPPOSITION
Vote Yesterday Resulted in sos for ank 25 Against -- Prohibitionists Make Scarcely Any Fight, and Liquor Men Not Very Active.

Those tavorng license carried the elec> tion held in this city yesterday by an oyer . whelmng majority. The vote was 3oS for license and 25 against license.
 The election was very quiet affair. There was little of that vigorous and anxious work that so uniformly accom- panies an election day in American tities The vote cast, being only 333, showed a great lack of interest in the result. The entire absence of contest an 1 certainty of the outcome was largely responsible for the light vote. No effort was made to get out full vote. Many Of the most promi- nent saloon proprietors did not even attend the polls to vote and there was no attempt ion the part of the churches or other in. fluenceS to poll a vote against license More than fifty per cent of the voters oI the city remained at home.
 The returns from the election will be can vassed by the city council next Monday
 These annual license elections are held that it may not be necessary for those ap> | plying for saloon license to secure peti- tion of majority of the residents resident within two miles of his proposed place of business to support his application The law as passed was uncertain in that there was no means of asoertaining when pc titlon contained the required number O names. It would be impracticable to talk, a census at the time of each application. 1 would also impose a difficult task upon ; man desiring license. Hence at the sug gestion of Judge Johnson last year an cleo ton was held and the petition dispensed with.
 It Is understood that Judge Brown wa consulted before the present election wa carried and approved the plan of Judg Johnson.

DOUBLE MURDER IS
 CHARGED ID HANSON Witnesses State He Killed
 Man and Wife. TWO TELL THE STORY Jim Williams. Kesh Testifies, Cut the Womau's Throat After Hanson Had Shot Her -- Williams Trial Was Begun Yesterday Morning.
TWO TELL THE STORY

Did Jim Hanson kill Florence Horton as well as her husband last Octoberl Two ot the Indians who were in the party at the time of the terrible tragedy of last October were on the witness stand yes terday, witnesses for the government in the trial of Jim Williams, and both flatlv contradicted the statement heretofore made by Hanson that he had nothing to do with the killing of Mrs. Horton. Johnny Kesh and George White, two of the five Indians who were discharged from the indictment for murder that they might testify against the others indicted, yesterday testified that Hanson shot both of the victims of the double murder. Johnny kesh said that Jim Williams cut Mrs. Horton's throat with a knife, but not until Jim Hanson had given the boy his knife and at the point of a gun compelled him to commit the awful crime. Johnny kesh also said that all the Indians in the party were afraid of Hanson.
 George White did not see Jim Will Hams cut Mrs. Hortons throat, but he saw him with blood on his hand near the dead body shortly after the murderous deed had been committed. He was quite positive that Jim Hanson shot Mrs. Hor- ton.
 It took until noon yesterday to complete the jury in the Williams case. The first thing in the morning the defense obtained permission to challenge one of the jurors that had already been accepted, and chal. lenged E. M. Weste. After working until noon the panel was completen. M. N. Ruhl and E. j. Hamacher being accepted. The defence also obtained permission of the court to make the five Indians dis charged yesterday their witnesses with the privilege of consulting W ith them.
 The government commenced putting in its testimony at once after the noon recess. Mrs. Sessions identified articles of jeweIry worn by Mrs. Horton and found on the body. MT. Sessions testified as to the finding of the body and its Identification. Johnny kesh and George White followed. Aside from the evidence here given their story did not materially differ from that of Hanson. The cross examination of Geo. w. White had not been completed when court adjourned.
 Attorneys Jennings and Crews have not vet disclosed their defense, but there seems much to indicate that they will introduce some surprises.

BIG SALMON CAMP
 IS SHORT 0F FOOD Miners Now Have to Divide
 Their Supplies. STOCKS ARE GOING IN
No Fear of Starvation, for Men Can
 Come Out to Hootalinqua Tn a Day
 Only One Claim in the Whole District Pays--Bed Rock Is Deep.

], Hull and J. C. Acheson. who have arrived from Big Salmon on their way to Seattle, corroborate the report that that country is nothing phenomensl as a placer field.
 "Only Seventv-fve men are in the camp" said they jointly at the Mondamin, '' and thev not only find it difficult to strike pay, but just now are finding 1t difficult to get food
 "The camp has run short of supplies, and the men are beginning to divide rations, making up for one another's deficiencies in various lines by borrowing and distribut- ing.
 Ben Cavanaugh, who owns part of discovery claim on Livingstone, came out ashort time aoo to take in suppliss, and was expected to be back June IS. He was unable to get there on time, and the men in camp relying on his return on time were finally brought to experience the food shortage
 1t is the intention Of Cavanaugh to get a steamer to take his supplies up the Hoot- aIinqua river forty miles, and if he can get a steamer he will probably have his goods there in July. It may be the fact big steamers can scarcely run on the Upper Yukon that small steamer can not be ob- tained just now.
 However, there is no danger of any thing more than an inconvenience over taking the camp from the shortage in food for the fact the men can get out to Hoota- linqua in day.
 1 "We went into camp in April, and wis lted several creeks, and were unable to fine anything that would pay.
 "There are two discoveries on Living stone. The lower discovery is the only pay ing claim in the camp. Adjoining it k crown property that may pay. The pay ; there Is all on bed rock Three men slulC f ing on the claim took out 5000 in thre s weeks They have to go very deep, full,

 fifty started in from Dawson. We me , quite number bound in, and succeeded | } getting some 10 turn back"

Remains Arrive and Leave

HONJRED IN SkAGWAY
Impressive Funeral Service Held By Arctic BrOtherhood--Man Att tend--Report of the Recovery of Relic Is COrroborated.

The remains Of Fred II. Cayson, the popular young business man who was murdered on the Dawson trail last Chris, ,- mas day, arrived from the interior last evening, and after a funeral service at the Arctic Brctherhood hall was taken away on the steamer Rosale for burial in his old home in Portland.

 8 The report that the bodv. lynn Relic, a companion of Fred on the trail at the time of the murder, had been found is cor roborated Will Clavson learned from au- thorlties in the interior that it had been found and it is understood bore two bullet wounds. Nothing further was learned.
 The funeral of MT. Clavson was one of the largest ever held in Skagwav, and thi: notWlthst anding the fact that it was mol positively known the body was coming until few hours before it arrived. Tht hour was quickly set and the funeral plan: made hurriediy, for the reason il was de sired to have the body go south right ava, on the Rosalle.

ONLY ONE IN WAKE.

There are quite a number of uned-
ucated voters in North Carolina and
there are too many boys over thirteen
who cannot read and write. All these
are protected forever in their right
to vote in the constitutional amend
ment.s
1t issthe little boy under thirteen,
who must learn how to read and write
before he is twenty-one, who is the
special object of the long speeches of
the Black-and-Tan orators who are
now going about the State. How
many such boys are there of school
age who cannot read and write?.
The Democratic candidates in Wake
county who have nearly finished their
canvass of the county, have tried to
find out how many boys under thir-
teen.sof school age were unable to
read and write. How many have they
found in Wake county? Not one, and
they have been able to hear of only
one. The children are going to school,
and with.tf1p incentive that the amend
ment offers, we may expect to see the
better public school houses crowded.
