Jo;nt Commissioners Stevens
 and Wheeler.
SUMMARY REMOVAL.
Judge Wickersham of the District
 Court Issues a Sweeping Order, Directing Stevens and Wheeler to Turn Over the Office to T. M. Reed.

Double-barreled United States com mi,slOnerships ln Nome are a thing oi the past. R. N. Steven, and A. K. Wheeler are private citizens on, c more. They vacated their offices se4- terday afternoon about $50 o'clock, when T. NJ. Reed was named successor 10 the Jolnt commissioners.
 Junse Wheeler was holling coui [ when the notice of his remU\a. wa, served upon him. He immediately ad- journed court.
 The removal of Judges Stevens anu Wheeler was in the nature of a sur prise to many people, as it has been stated by alleged wl,e ones that Judge Wickersham would not interfere with Judge Moves appOintees, but that he would fill vacancies. The wise ones fJrgot tc state. apparently, that Judge Wlcker,ham would remove such official, over whom he ha, jurisdiction for eau whenever he deems it nece, sary. At least, this is how it looks to d man up tree.
 There has been much doubt ex- pressed as to the legality of Wheeler app ointment, many lawyers having stated that the double -bar,e.ed cou.- missioner>hip in Nome was withou, shalow of legal justification, an! ev .dently Judge " ickersham takes this view.
 Commissioner Stevens official record is the cause Of his removal. The order re moving the two commissioners r. ads in part as fuliows:
 1t appearing to this court upon an inspect Ot the quarterly reports hereu,i, re made and nled in the office Oi the clerk of the couit by k. N. 5 evpns, commissioner and ex-otficio p.ace I'd coroner oi Nome precinct. Alaska. that dlr.nG the time he ha> acred a, such commissioner tie re, eipts of hi, office, accOun,ed for by him, were $229, 233.30: that the disbursen ents fer the same period were S.j,5Ie. .9j; that the sum total of all moneys pad to the clerk of this court by sad commls- soner during said period is the sum oi $4S5: that during sad period he paid to M. H. stevens the sum of s., 10 lOr 2lU days services at $iO per day in the re- cording office. and the sum of $l, 55) for rent; and that he also pad Clara F.. Stevens the sun of $2, l60 iOr 2l6 days services at $lO per day in the record ing office; that no account is returned or made of lees or salary received by said R. N. Stevens as municipal judge or police magi,lrale of None: that 1t Is necessary for Il better public service that an immediate change be made in said office; that the dual dlvision of authority in the town ot Nome tends to great doubt and re >pOnsibilily.
 Then Judge W'ickersham, after the above recital, of course, formally re- moves R. N. Stevens the order stating that all of his powers shall cease and determine from the moment of filing the order with the clerk of the court at Nome."
 The crder removing A. K. Wheeler follows:
 It is also ordered that A. k.Whet Ter, heretofore appointed and now ac. Ing 8 commissioner of Nome precinct, Alaska,

Work Has Commenced.

Batesville, Ark, June 8.-Work was begun on the clearing of the right of way for the extension of the Iron Mountain railroad up White river the first of the week.
 The contract for this work was let in St. Louis on last Thur sday toJ. H. Reynolds and R. c. Cushing, who are familiar with that class of work, and who have considerable railroad work in charge in other states. The road bed will be completed for 20 miles up the river to the phosphate mines as soon as possible and while no information as to their intentions, it is generally believed that it will be extended.
 Mr.. Cushing and his son, R. C. Cushing, jr., are here on the grounds, prepared to sublet the work. Two contracts, embracing the first seven miles, have been let, and the remaining Is miles will doubtless be let by the middle of next week, and within the next two weeks 1 1.500 or 3, ,000 men will be employed on the work, most of whom will be brought from St. Louis, Memphis and Little Rock, but will use as many home men as they can get.
 It is said the line will be com- pleted by the end of summer, by which time a company, who now own these extensive deposits, will have erected the necessary machinery for mining the phos- phates on an extensive scale and for the manufacture of high grade fertilizer therefrom.
 This industry is probably des- tined to be one of the largest in the state, if notin the entire west. These deposits, supposed to be chiefly bones of animals and fish es, have been found to be among the most concentrated manures known; one pound, when proper ly prepared, eQuallng l2 to 10 pounds of the best barnyard manure.
 Some of the older states have been greatly benefited by the discovery and use of these natur- al manure beds, and it is to be hoped that this state, so fortunate in her many other natural resour- ces, will rival her sister states of the east in this new industry.

OBITUARY.

Mrs. Sarah L.. Dickens was born on
February the 21st, 1863, made pre-
fession of religion at an early age and
Joined the Methodist church, was mar
ried to Mr.. J. B. Dickens January the
Ii, 1884. She died February the 26,
1901, and was thirty-eight years and
fiye days old.
Truly good woman has left us
Her christian race was one of simpli-
city and beauty. Though a sufferer for
seversl years, she chung to life that
she might make others happy. She
bore her suferlEgs with unshaken
confidence and increasing fidelity in
her Lord.
She dreaded not the dark and mys-
FERROUS river of death because the
brightness of the future, by rich
faith in her Saviour, dispelled all the
gloom of death and the tomb. She
was buried at the family burying
ground on the 28th of February, Rev
R. l.. Davis conducting the exercises
The large assembly that attended bel
burial speaks more of the esteem il
| which she was held than volumes O
words can do. Five children and s
husband are left to mourn the loss o
ali affectionate mother and devoted
wife. May our kind heavenly Father
in his tender providence deal gently
with the bereaved ones, and at las
bring them to that heaven of rest Il
which tbs loving mother and vile ha'
gone. J.D.J.

THE IMPEA CHNENT PROCEED
INGS.

Still the people of the State wait to
hear the particulars of the impeach.
ment proceedings at Raleigh. The
proceedings were to have commenced
last Monday, but owing to the fact that
there was still important legislative
work it was agreed that the proceed
ings should be postponed until today
CThursday).
It was the general opinion that all
legislative work ought to be finished
before the impeachment proceedings
commenced, so that all the senators
could give undivided attention to the
evidence and the argument in the
caso.
It will probably be the last of mex,
week before the impeachment will be
closed.
