that if they were not under their own roofs
AS the clock struck l. they would escape

stating their age The ladies lived within
stones throw of one another. Being nervous
they dared not go far afield, and walked to
and fro past their own homes. They were
thus foolishly perambulating up and down
when one of the ladies suspected that she
saw a light in the basement Of her home
and dark figure walking stealthily about.
They were agreed that it was a burglar.
and plucklly determined to put a stop 10 his
depredations. Entering the house In a body
they locked themselves in the drawing room
and began TO noisily move the furniture
about, with the idea of soaring off the bur-
glar below. Presently a vigorous knock
sounded against the door, and gruf voice
said, I've got you, my man. You'd better
submit quietly, for I'm armed" 1t was
the lady's father.
Having discovered an escape Of gas in
his bed room he had come downstairs to
turn off the meter. The burglar was thus
engaged when the noise in the drawing
room overhead convinced him that the
house was being broken into. Mutual ex-
plantations followed, and in the midst of the
conversation the ladies suddenly stopped,
exchanged despairing glances, and one of
them actually wept The church clock
across the road was striking II.

a pill to Weller. provided, of course, the
horse failed to win the race for the Ros-
ita Challenge Cup. Leeper asked for the
money on the spot, but was told that he
would get his reward from another par
ty. whom he named, when the job was
satisfactorily accomplished. Pretending
to accept the terms of the contract, Lee
per was given the pill and the man went
away. 80
Leeper then went and told the whole
thing to James McAuliffe, the Princes
jockey, who advised him to immediate
ly take the pill to the Prince and relate
TO him what had happened.
The next day saw the Princes stalls
roped off and zealously guarded by
couple Of watchers. Every precaution
was taken to prevent foul play. and

and galloped home, in close to record

There will he no more fumigation OF
mails arriving from the Coast unless the
epidemic of smallpox in the States in
meeting yesterday afternoon voted to dis
continue the practice, thus permitting
the postoffice to commence the work
of mail distribution soon after the dock
ing of steamers.
Health statistics of the Western States,
as far as smallpox is concerned, were
read during the Board session by Execu-
tive Officer Pratt, in which 1t was shown
that the number of smallpox cases had
fallen down to very low weekly rate
The increase in the number of cases Is
very small compared with the increase of
several weeks prior to May p, the date
OF the last report to the Board by the
Federal quarantine officers. For the
week ending May q there was an in
crease of only 327 cases in all the West
ern States (west of the Mississippi river),
as against $500 cases two and three
weeks previously.
The Board was unanimously of the
opinion that there could be little to fear
about the infection being brought to Ho-
nolulu through the medium of the mails.
and upon motion of DR.. Sloggett, second
ed by. Mr.. Smith, the Board decided that
the continuance of the fumigation meas
ures was useless. The malls arriving on

antine officials of San Francisco to fu-

GOOD NEWS.

The Quaker Healers, William and
Tully, have concluded to extend their
stay in Kalispell one more week and
therefore will continue their offices
at No. 20 First street east and their
free shows at the corner of Third and
Main streets, until September LIST.
These gentlemen have certainly es-
tablished an enviable record in this
city for fair dealing and skill in this
chosen profession and their constant
ly increasing business speaks much
louder than words in support of the
above. AS they say, rye shall know a
tree by the fruit it BEARS" and they
do not seem to fear the decision of
their numerous patients, as is signified
by the extension of their stay to in
clude the fourth week. They came
here with flattering reports from Mis-
soula and Ravalli counties and each
succeeding week of their stay in Flat
head county has only accumulated the
truth of the same. This week is posi-
lively their last week. so those of the
citizens of Flathead county who wish
to consult them should not delay.

Reason for the Poor Showing at Nome
This Year.

Reason for the Poor showing at Nome
This Year.
George Ross, one of the gentlemen
returning ON the Oregon, when seen
at the hotel Northern this morning
speaking of the outlook for Nome
said: l think Nome and surrounding
districts will in time be found to be
very rich, but the lateness of this sea-
son has greatly retarded development
and the endless litigation is even
worse in preventing the development
of the country, says the Seattle Times.
1t has got in such a condition that
everybody is afraid to buy claims for
fear of getting tangled up in litigation.
For this reason much valuable ground
is lying idle and will until there is
change in our courts.
There have been some rich claims
opened on Council and the Kasata-
pagan districts which were not looked
on with much favor last year. There
was also some rich strikes made on
Dexter. Glacier, Snow gulch and 9TH
ers. In the Teller district Gold Run
and Alder are showing up we'll, but
work on many of the others is DELAYED
by the frozen ground"
Mr.. Ross was robbed some time
Wednesday or during yesterday of ST..

5000. Mr.. Ross ha sheen in the north
four years and was formerly a deputy
customs collector at Circle City. He
will return to his home in San Fran
cisco in few days.
S. 0. Link and T. H. Bradley. both
large claim owners in the Gold Ran
and Alder districts, coincide with Mr..
Ross statements regarding the out
look for Nome and Mr.. Link said:

It is thought that one-third of the
Louisiana sugar plantations will use
oil instead of coal this year. The num-
Der would be larger but for the fact
that the plantations had made their
contracts for coal for the season be-
fore the full value of Texas oil was
shown. It is probable that by next
season all the sugar plantations in
Louisiana will be using oil instead OF
coal.
