dollars year for the disposition of its
garbage, while many English cities. by
burning their waste matter in special
furnaces, not only destroy it in the

fuel, and the heat which it generates

SIX DEAD BODIES
Marked the Spot Where a Party of
Gold Seekers FrOze to Death.

NOME, July TO- via Seattle, July pa
tragic story comes from st. Michaefs. A
party of men en- route to Nome recently
found the bodies of six men at a point
near Cape Romanoff Ii is presumed that
they all froze to death during some one
of the terrible billiards. that prevailed
last winter.
The bodies were scattered at intervals
five of them about a quarter of a mile
apart. They were outstretched upon the
tundra and each was found wrapped in
blankets. Each had some camp equip
ment near him. but no food. One of the
dead men had evidently been injured or
sick, he lay son a litter constructed of
pair of oars and canvas sheet. 1t
would seem that the storm must have
overcome the men carrying him. Evident
ly becoming exhausted they had abandon
ed him and wandered off, each for HIM
self, to perish where found
General Randall was notified and has
ordered out a party of soldiers to bring
in the bodies, and every effort will be made
to identify them. General Randall thinks
that they were party of prospectors,
who in an effort to reach St. Michefs,
had run out of provisions and persisted
from exhaustion and exposure.

they made. they would not make cor
rection, or allow me to reply to the
false accusations.
now wish to tell what part took in
the celebrated tax cases, or the cases
where Mr.. n. w. Bird made informa-
ton in the proper form and according
to law against those persons who lend
and had loaned money amounting to
over one and half millions OF dollars,
all of which the records in the re-
corders Office of Ohio county at that
time showed, and will show now. On
all the money loaned and reported by
Bird to the city assessor and the pros
ecuting attorney, which the law re-
quired him as informer to do, NOT ONE
CENT OF TAX was ever paid by the
lender of this large sum OF money.
But instead of the proper officials, whose
duty, as sworn officers, was to assess all
parties who failed or refused TO list the
money they had loaned, for taation,
they, every one of them, denounced
Bird, and said his object was mercenary.
Its very singular TO me and all tax
payers how officers who are sworn to
do their duty, and more especially when
their attention has been called to the
violation of our statute laws, how they
avoid doing their duty. are their oaths
worth nothing? | now wish to say to
all citizens of Wheeling and Ohio
county, w. Va, that the only thing |
had to do with the tax cases was as
treasurer of any fund or money that
came into my hands, through informa-
ton made by Bird against the lenders
OF money who had not had 1t entered
by the assessor for taxation, and that
all the money | received as treasurer
was what money was collected by J. A.
Dunning a justice of the peace in the
city OF Wheeling, Ohio county, w. Va,
and whose docket will show that
receipted for it as treasurer, and / hold
the receipts for the money | paid to

neys for Bird, and M. w. Bird. | also

them.

iation and denunciation of a number
OF the citizens of Ohio county, and was

county by Judge Hugus, one hundred
dollars and costs, which fine and costs
amounted to $500, and which the late
Governor G. w. Atkinson RENTED, l
now think it my duty to my self and
family to ask that you will kindly pub
fish this, and let the people know who
was right and who was wrong in the
tax matter.
| was at the time and am now con-
WINGED that Bird was right, and that all
who lend money secured by deed of
trust or otherwise, should be compelled
by the assessor or prosecuting attor-
ney of the county to list the money
loaned for taxation. | wish to further
state that l have the book containing
the names of all persons who had
money loaned at the time. Bird made
the information against them, and it
can be seen by any one. If the laws
that are enacted by our Legislature are
imperative, why are they not stricken
from the statute book? Or what is the
use Of keeping up such farce?
Very respectfully,

sary to take heroic measures to save his
life. His body was immersed In baths
of soda and covered with salves and
swathed with bandages. The treatment
proved effective and it is thought he
will be able to leave the hospital after
another weeks treatment.
1t is eontended by physicians that II
two-thirds of the body be burned badly
the sufferer will die from the effects.
The skin which has been severely
burned is unable to throw off perspira-
ton. The pores are, temporarily at
least, closed, and the impurities Of the
body which should escape in this way
are confined in the body. 1t is believed
that if two-thirds of the pores be closed
this poison will prove fatal. The disease
is known as AUTHORIZATION or self
poisoning.

WE WAY BEUoME INDIANS.

There may be nothing remarkable in
this statement to those who have made
study of the American base ball
rooter, the American college lad and
other phases of Young America. But
the Chicago professor of anthropology,
who made the announcement to his
class that it was only question OF time
until we all drifted back into the
aboriginal "redskin" had no reference
to these modern Indians
According to Professor Starr, of
Chicago University, the American
people, in their physical characteristics,
are turning more and more like Indians
every day. The only thing that pre-
vents the people of the United States
from becoming exactly similar to the
momadic tribes OF Indians in facial
characteristics is the inter-marriage be-
tween residents of this country and i'm
migrants from foreign lands
Here is a hint to the bureau of immi
grafton and Congress. European pau
per labor is bad, but how much worse it
will be If without it we must become
Indians, This is what Prof. Starr fears.
IF the immigration laws says he,
should once be strictly enforced. few
years would see us all Indians. Once
make the cry general that America is
being used. as the dumping ground of
European nations. and so stir up public
spirit as to exclude foreign elements,
and it would only take few years for
the Indian to haunt his old-time pas
lures again"
Higher education" out west already
seems to have reached dizzy altitude.
