you wish to be emancipated from this
sin of profanity you must pray to God
for help. You must plead and pray
for divine help to resist this evil habit
to the day OF your death. You must
pray not only for the forgiveness OF
your past profanities, but you must
also pray that God will keep your lips
pure from ever uttering another bias
phemous word.
The second reason why preach this
sermon Is to rally all Christian people
to the support Of new iAterdenomina-

formed to war against the sin of pro-
family. believe this society has as
great a mission as the Christian En-
deavor society, the Brotherhood Of An

terdenominational societies which are
binding together the Christian people
OF the land. This society is called the
Antiprofanity league. Rev. John l..

the general assembly OF the Presbyte-

the famous Park Street church. Bos-

rally all Christian people together to
oppose this universal evil. That soci-

NCME'S NEW CITY COUNCIL.

The new city council has been formally inaugu- rated. The new executive, Mayor Valentine, is successful young business man, and will make capable official. The council, as a whole, is com posed of good material, and much will be expected of it. And it has much that must be accomplished The city must be gotten out of debt; every outsand ing obligation must be met promptly as possible, and thereafter the municipality should be run on cash basis or as nearly as De done. This we believe car be accomplished for it will be possible for the city to secure portion of the school fund for municipal purposes, now that a school board with some of the responsibility devolving upon it has control of educational affairs.
 The NUGGET believes that the very best educational facilities should be afforded the children who are growing up in this community but there is reason to believe that after the fullest provision has been made there will remain surplus in the school fund, which can be applied to the reduction of the general tax ation of the people.
 An incapable majority of the school board the past year simply wasted the peoples money with a reck- lessness born of crass perversity and obsnacy not mitigated by any condoning circumstances. This will not be repeated, it is safe to predict.
 The NUGGET has repeatedly taken the position that Nome needs no elaborate system of government. It needs few paid officials and no complicated civic machinery Economy consistent with efficiency is demanded. There public works such as sanitation and sewerage and street improvements that must receive the early attention of the council, but no expensive or elaborate plans desirable. Ex- penses must be kept at minimum and reckless extravaganza in all lines of the public service must be avoided We believe that the present council will be able to meet all exegences they may arise, and thatit is the duty ofevery citizen to to it that the city is economically governed And believe it will be.

NOME. ALASKA. APRIL 26, 1902.
THE INFLUX THIS SPRING.

How many people will arrive in Nome this season IS problematcal to degree yet the question is al- ready being discussed and is the cause of varied speculation. That there will not be nearly so many as arrived last year is certain and 1t is not matter to be depored This section has met many hard knock OH the outside from the cold-footed contingent ot the past couple of years and it has not recovered from the effect. Enough will come however. The thing to be wished is that they shall be of the right kind. There are a-penty in Nome and vicinity already who are looking for the velvet side. What Is most needed is who know how to mine and who will work, without expecting to make fortune the first year or two. Given men of this caiber, we would not fear the result Last year probably six thousand people reached Nome during the early summer, and nearly all returned to their former homes disappointed. We will rot be uncharitabe and say that they alone were to blame. There are circumstances which control the life and lot of nearly every and woman. Some of these, de- spite former experiences. will return and so will others with experience to purchase and the where 'withal to do it. The odtimer who has spent his winter Ion the outside' will also return with fresh hopes and renewed stock of courage Others will come who will have money and who will seek busi- ness openings and mining opportunities. They will find both and, let us hope, with profit to themselves
 From tue most relaole sources the NUGGET learns that big rush need not be expected in Nome this spring. Perhaps 2,OO0 or 2,500 people will land on our shores, but scarcely than that number The Koyukuk is attracting attention in the States, just why we do not know, for certainly discoveries so far as known have been made in that section this winter. The great majority of the cheechakos who go into that section doomed to bitter dsappoint- ment, and it is quite likely that portion of the broken overflow will ultimately reach Nome, a con- tngency not at all desirable.
 We believe that this there will be work enough for a and in that thought there is comfort A much larger area of ground will be opened up this year and, taken all in a the outlook is encouraging

PRICES OF STAPLE COMMODITIES.

Eggs in Nome peluk The case variety, which held out valiantly, because perhaps Of their great strength at last succumbed, and now the average citizen has recourse, if eggs he have to the 'crystallized product from the tin can. There is a man in town, however, who is the fortunate possessor of dozen hens but they have not been producing large crop yet. What they do afford retail for twenty-five cents each. No one has yet been known to get dozen. Eggs. therefore, which will arrive on the first steamer sure to command good price, as also fresh fruits of all kinds for everything in this line, save apples has long since disappeared from the market. Potatoes stli to be had and the supply will probably be sufficient to last until more arrive Groceries of all kinds are abundant includ- ing canned goods of several years vintage and others 'fresher and of excellent quality There is plenty of fresh meats, but poultry is scarce.
 Coal has advanced in the past few weeks, and it s now quoted at $45 ton and is not too plentiful at that, but there is probably enough to Ego round" |" until more arrives on the first ships. The price of this necessity has been moderate during the winter much lower than last winter, when several times it shot up to $75 ton, only to drop suddenly to $5O or whereabouts.
 The community is to be congratulated that it has ooe through another long, hard winter with as little

There are some mining suits brought that are so papably for the purpose of backmail that it is small wonder that the honest miner endeavors to conceal as much as possible the extent of his operations The NUGGET knows for fact that there are dozens of new creeks which will be opened up this season, yet the men who operating them afraid to say any thing about it, lest the blackmaler should appear with his banshee of litigation The honest miner has little to fear nowadays but nevertheless, he does not care to be held up or blackmailed. To have good sized dump exposed is standing invitation to the interruptions harpy to profit by the result of honest to

One J. J. Chambers, erstwhile school director of Nome is quoted as saying that he would sue certain newspapers for libel if they responsible. It is pretty useless newspaper that is not great deal more responsible than the 'Visual' Chambers Now let Mr. Chambers trot out his little libel suit, and the NUGGET will guarantee that any damages obtained by him will be met in full. It will also guarantee sev- eral other things to Mir. Chambers.
