Capt. Abercrombie, who has charge of the construction of the government wagon road from Valdez to Eagle City, reports that 125 miles of the road is now completed.
 Deputy United States Marshal Ha. sey of Ketchikan shot and instantly killed Dan Robinson on the morning of the 18th inst. The marshal in trying to arrest Robinson had rib crushed and his arm broken in two places.
 Hon. Richard Mansfield White, ex- plorer and mine owner, thinks the en- tire Yukson basin properly belongs to the United States if there is any merit in the contention that the summit of a range of mountains fixes the boundary line. Properly speaking, there is no range of mountains west of the Rockies and technically holding, the boundary line follows the summit of this range. This would throw the Klondike and all it's tributaries in American territory. Uncle Sam could make himself solid with the people of this neck of woods by taking possession of the territory and holding it at least until England proved it's title.

A Happy Surprise.

One of the happy events of the

of P. Votaw miles southeast of the

We would like the public to under

ly no connection between the Mime
,apolis & st. Louis and the Iowa Gem
trail railroad. True, men interested
in one road are interested in the other,
but the management of the roads will
be operated Independently of each
other.
THE impression of cooling of in
terests is emphasized for the reason
OF my connection with both compan-
les, / expect to manage the Central
and to make it the very best property

convince the public that the Mime
apolis & st. Louis has not absorbed
the Central, but there is no absorp-
ton about it. Men interested in the
Minneapolis & st. Louis believe they
have bargain in the Iowa Central
and will proceed to improve their
property so it will pay them for their
investment and at the same time we
will pledge the public better service
than they ever received on this line. {"

Struck by Lightning .

The residence of Will Martenstein
at the corner of First avenue and D
street was struck by lightning in the
| electrical storm of Thursday after
noon and considerable damage was
done and it is great wonder that
the house was not fired by the bolt.
The lightning is supposed to have
first struck large tree at the front
of the residence of Mollie Brooks on
First avenue. The lightning pro-
badly jumped to a dead telephone
line that enters the Martenstein home.
An eye witness states that the light
ming went into the house in the shape
of a great ball of fire. 1t entered the
bedroom of Louis Parnin, struck the
bed-stead and shattered it, splinter
ing the posts and making kindling
wood of parts of it. Both head and
foot boards were damaged. The bolt
seems to have travelled almost en-
tirely around the bed and then went
out again through the wall. The
was knocked off and a
round hole was burned in the lath-
ing.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
Judge Ewing, of Chicago, Discusses the
Faith TO Large Audience.

Almost every seat in the lower part
of the opera house was filed Sunday
afternoon by representative audi
ence of people who went to hear the
Christian Science lecture delivered by
Judge Ewing, of Chicago. Mr.. Ewing
is one of the leading speakers in the
faith in the country and his services
are so much sought for that his en-
gagements are necessarily made for
months ahead. He is a pleasing
speaker, and his discourse was free
from abuse and was unobiectionable.
He eulogized the faith and insisted
that it has its foundation in the bible
and is an outgrowth of Christianity.
Judge Ben Mccoy introduced the
speaker, and the occasion was source
of pride to the local society.
