When they said good-by that day.
She just talked ana seemed to bc
Not the slightest bit upset

Others eyes were streaming wet.
But when John came back again
On a furlougb, safe and sound
With medal for his deeds
And without a single wound.

Laughed ana jokcd and danced about.

BIG COMBINATION

of the A. C., A. E., s. Y. IT,, and Elm
 pire Lines to Cut Down Expenses.
 ---Great Excursion Scheme.
 For some weeks past the representa- tives of the principal transportation and trading companies doing business on the Yukon have been in conference the orig inal purpose being to arrive at some un- derstaneling whereby reasonable trans portation rates might be maintained and a remedy found for the evils resulting from conflicts caused by divided inter ests. As this discussion progressed the scheme enlarged upo1r itself so that it was finally found that the best results could be obtained only by unity of their Interests i'll the Yukon, St. Michael, Ber- ing Sea and Port Clarence districts As a result of this discussion two new com- panics have been incorporated under the laws of the state of New Jersey, and the assets aud business of the following co1n- panies have been transferred to the new interpretations: Alaska Commercial Co.,, Alaska El ploration Co.,, Seattle Yukon Transportation Co.,, Empire Transporta- tion Go.
 The Northern Navigation Go. will take over all the assets of the above conl- panies, which are connected with trans portation in that country and will be han died as separate corporation doing purely transportation business. It is capitalized at S, 25o ,ooo.
 The Northern Commercial Co.,, capital ized at $7 1000, ,o0O, will take over all the plants and stocks of merchandise now u11- der the control of the above mentioned companies in the territory described
 The purpose which 1t is confidently ex- pected to attain will be to afford better facilities, aid ill the development of the country, and, from the fact that great economies can be made in the manage ment aud operation, the savings thus se- cured can rebound to the benefit of the shipper and consumer In other words, the new company expects to reduce the price of supplies, to avoid ill future any possible shortage of necessities in the North, and to make its legitimate profit Ill the reduction of expenses, which the

 The principal offices of the new com panies will be at San Francisco, Seattle, Victoria and Vancouver. The officers of the companies have not been selected as yet, but vii, be chosen at the first meet ing of the board oi directors.

THE STRIKE SITUATION.
stiII Out and the Com
pnny Not Inclined TO YieId.

Both the striking machinists and the
officials of the Southern Railway say that
the strike situation is much improved.
The strikers express confidence that their
demands VIII be met, and the officials
say that there are enough men left in
the shops to operate them, that the trou-
bic has not spread and that they will not
grant the nine-hour scale.
This is in accordance with the stand
taken to r S. Cannon, Third Vice Presi-
dent and General Manager of the South
ern, at the conference with the delegation
of machinists who called on him in this
city last Monday Stenographic reports
of the conference have been sent out to
all the machinists on the road.
Speaking of the matter yesterday an
official of the Southern said:
The situation shows no change except
for the better. No more men have quit
work, and in two shops a number of
them have gone back. ! won't say what
shops these are, because that would make
them targets for the labor agitators. The
Southern is not inconyenienced.
Frank Morrison, of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. stated that no develop
ments had been reported at headquarters
In this city as far as the strike on the
Southern was concerned.
Samuel Gompers, President of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. has returned TO
Washington after "A Western trip, and
says that the demands of the machinists
for a nine-hour day have met with gen
eral success.

despatched to the home of DR.. Miller, 83O
x Street northwest. He ran quickly TO
the house where he found the woman
barely alive. By the use of all treatment
known TO his profession DR. Miller tried
TO restore consciousness, but 1t was i'm
possible, owing to the great quantity of
gas inhaled, together with her old age
She was made as comfortable as posi-
BILE and carefully watched by her friends
in the house for sign Of consciousness.
But as no Improvement was noticeable
Mr. Williams thought her case so serious
as to warrant her removal to hospital.
This was done upon the securing OF a
certificate from DR.. Miller.
Mrs. Dove was a native of ireland. but
came to this city when she was hardly
two years of age, where she since re-
R7ained for nearly sixty years. She was
regarded by many residents In the city
as an experienced midwife. She has no
relatives in-this country, all of them re-
siding in the Emerald Isle.
So far there is nothing known to de-
termine whether she had Intentionally
turned on the flow of gas, TO end her Lille,
or whether she had lighted the jet and
