WHY Is 1t =?

| have somewhere read or heard that
exceptions prove rule. Perhaps this
is the reason why, after the arbitrary
rule had been instituted and the town
boys barred from the use of the Ar
mory, the negroes were permitted to
have dance there last night.
What | want to know is, by what au-
thority that great, grand, glorious and
gloomy body, misnamed Board of ST.
peruisOrs, gave the sun -burnt gentry
precedence over the white boys of
Brookhaven? 1t is we'll known fact
that about two months ago, Sheriff APP
plewhite received notice from the
Board to stop the progress of the dance
proposed at that time at the Armory,
in consequence of which the extensive
preparations and expense incurred
therefrom we're shouldered by a single
individual. Why is it?
Such open-handed impartiality
such commendable consistency is de-
serving of notice.

ROGUE CHITTO NOTES.
BY JEEMS.

Grandma Scarborough is still in a
lingering condition at the home of her
son.
Rev. J. A. Scarborough will make a
flying trip to Harrisonburg, La, about
the 1st of April where he goes to look
after cancer trouble
Boys, if you don't want to turn your
hard earnings into the town treasury,
don't let Marshal Vernon see you jump
on and off the train while in motion.
Rev. J. A. Scarborough is just 'merg-
ing out of hard spell of grip. The
elder says it shook him from center to
circumference, which is asserting a
good deal.
The most fearful wind storm of the
season passed over our city last Friday
night, and some of our people were
made to feel that they had left undone
many things that they ought to have
done.
Bishop Galloway's recent lecture in
jackson on "Christian Manhood" ought
to be published in tract form and sown
down knee deep all over the land.
Surely the Bishop "hoed close to the
corn" when he struck the penitentiary
aristocracy.'
We acknowledge a cordial invitation
from neighbor Linus Burns and his
good better half, Miss Alice, to assist
them in managing a fine log rolling
dinner the other day, but Providence
ordered otherwise and we can only
thank them for the good dinner that
we failed to get
Willie Kyzar, the 15-year- old son of
our nelghbor, Fount Kyzar, was thrown
from his horse at Tyler's mill last Sat
urday, which resulted in crushing both
bones of his leg near the ankle. Drs.
Montgomery and Thompson success
fully set the crushed limb and the boy
is doing fairly we'll at this writing.
G. W. Turnbough and John ID. Baily
have formed partnership in the
livery business in this city and on last
Friday night the cruel wind blew their
newly built barn every which away.
Fortunately, the barn was not ready
for occupancy and they sustained no
loss except the wreck of the building.

HOW THE JUMPER
 WAS JUMPED
The Story of the Italian whose Claim Was Jumped and the Han
 Who Jumped 1t.

John Micel, little Italian well known about town, is now in d fair way to make a stake over on the lnmachuk, Fair Haven district. John used to sella de fruit, da ap and da banan, in Nome, but early last winter he mushed over to the Good Hope country and located some claims. He stayed there too, al though at times he was terribly pinched for grub, He pulled through, however in some way and lhis spring he went to work and found pi city good pay. Then along came a man who jumped his claim and put up his tent and went to work.
 Miceli expostulated with the jumper but in vain. Finally he thought of Missouri Bill, who was working just across the divide and to him he went for advice. He told Missouri his story and received ready sympathy.
 "Have you gun?" queried Bill.
 No gotta da gun" said Miceli.
 "Can you get one?" Bill asked, and .Iiceli said he could. Then get it, y said the MissOurian, ''and go for your man and make him pull his stakes and get off,
 Miceli is mild hammered son of Italy and he didn't like the idea, but Missouri braced him up and away he went. An hour later the jumper might have been seen pulling up his stakes while Miceli guarded him in the rear.
 'I maka him jump himself" said Mi oo1;

ThE TELEGRA LINE
Will Be Completed This Year Up the Yukon as For as the Mouth of the Tanana-Win Be Completed to Ea- gle next Year-FOrce Reduced.

Gen. F.. NJ. Randall, commanding the Depart nent of Alaska arrived from St. Michael on the transport Seward, Sat mrday morning, landing at Fort Davis.
 Gen. Randall was in town during the day and was seen by.a representative of the NUGGET cOncerningImilitary affairs in Alaska. As is known, the Depart ment of Alaska and the Department of the Columbia have been consolidated with headquarters at Vancouver, Wash.
 "The forces in Alaska have been ma terially reduced this year," said Gen. Randall. '-One company is stationed at each of the following places: Fort Davis, St. Michael and Fort Egbert and two at Fort GibbOn at the mouth of the Panama Substantial progress is being made on the construction of the tele- graph line and the line will be cOmplet- ed this year up the river as far as Fort GibbOn. This will leave a gap between that place and Fort Egbert, which will be completed next year."
 General Randall will not leave St. Michael before the last of this month, when he will go out on the Seward vis- iting Valdez and Skagway enroute south and making an inspection of the forts at those places. The two military de- part artments-Alaska and the Columbia will not be formally consolidated until the arrival of Gen. Randall at Vancou- yer. He will remain there until next spring when he will return to this sec tion and will spend the summer here.
 Gen. Randall first came to St. Mich ael in 1897, when Fort St. Michael wa, established, He was then Col. Randall and afterwards he was sent to Cuba, ol the breaking out of the war with Spain and when the war was over he took q prominentIpart in establishing law and order and regulating the sanitary con ditions of Havana. He was promoted to brigadier-generalcy in the winter of 1899.
 Gen. Randall is typical soldier and his long years of residence on the from tier have made him one of the most ap- proachable of men. He is hearty in his manner but not bluff, and has the hap py faculty of making friends of those he meets in the civil walks of life.
 "Everything is in pretty good condi- tiOn in this department Gen. Randall said, "and think you will get along all right, and. see you in the spring.

have the proper realization Of the at.
fractions this beautiful island offers
but they do not know what a rich and
big population is casting about to find
a vacation haven.

popular with the western people. West
Of the Mississippi river, the people look
to the Pacific coast for recreation and
pleasure. The people west Of st. Pau

in larger numbers each season.
Talk of Hawaii is heard now In

come here on their vacations and con

is not a bad thing, although a collapse

adjust themselves. They cannot be ar
bltrarily maintained even on this isl,
and where the sea limits its scope.
"Your city will spread. Central
property will decline and good street

me, from what | have learned, that
this is not a favorable time for the
