DEATH ON
 TIE INMRChUK Seyeu Natives Give Up
 the Gil0st. Others are Sick and Dying and Have But Little Means
 of Subsistence.

Seven deaths occurred week before last at the native village at the mouth Of the lnmachuk. All were E~kimCs, some young. some middlc-uged, none old. Among them was "kOugarok Charley." well known to many white mcn. Disease has la tened itself upon the natives of that section as well d. elsewhere and they are dying like she ep. The report of tLc death of the seven native, at the uttlc inmachuk village was brought to town by Fred fuhl. an Inmachuk miner. The na- tive, have little fcoG. except fish. and disease has made such inroaGs upon them that they easily euccumb.
 Over on Fox creek a uumher of na- tives are sick, starving anI dying. us already been told in TIE NrGGET. And no effort i, heinz made to re lleVe their condition so far as known. Reports from tGc eastern coast are tU the same effect. Many native, are sic k and some have died recently of typhoid fever and other diseases.

After they had been the rounds of the other drivers and had been given up, Joe was persuaded o take them. They appealed to his sense of pride as against the rival line, and that brought him around. He got along with them very well, but he said it was the hardest work he had ever done, but he let them have their way as much as he dared, and they set d pace that nearly dr,ve the rest of the stock to the honeyard.

VOYAGES OF
 THE ICE PACK Needs a NortllerIy Wind To Bring IL In.
ii Has Been Known Not to Ap5ea7 in Boring Sea Uni in
 January.

Capt Peter i}ayne. who conducted a whaling station at Point Hope for It years, says that the reason that the Arctic ice pack ha, not appeared as yet in BerlnG sea is due to the fact that there have been no heavy nOrtlcrly winds, which usually prevail at this time of year, and which are necessary to bring the ice through the straits.
 "I have known Bering Sea to he free of ice, comparatively speaking until the middle of January" sail Capt. Bayne the other day. II takes strong n0rtherly winds to drive the ice pack down through the straits, and you may have noticed that We had none sp far this fall. Before the pack swlng, down into Bel'ing sea it tails down the o;- barian coast and theu comes the strong blizzard and send, it crashing south ward ana eastward. However there has been no biz ice crush since lsGS, when the pack va, piled clear up Cn bench and tundra for hundreds of feet. Some day the Arctic ice pack will prob ably wipe Nome out of existence.
 ''There is no reason why steamers coul not leave Nome for the south as late as the middle of December" con cluded Capt. Bayre.

~HIEF Albert and his hunters \ permitted these people to
 A remain and hunt during the
 winter, the deer migration southward giving them an opportunity to procure food. Dr. Hall thus learned all they knew concerning the Erebns and Terror and their surviv ivorS journey ing southward. Afterwards the iwillik tribe permitted the newcomers to hunt on the outskirts of their territory and in the musk-ox country. The aged refugee from the farther north was forced to accompany them.
 While hunting the following year and caching provisions for our journey to King Williams Land we passed by their camp. Dr. Hall talked with them, and we learned that the old man was dead. One look at the savage, Tom Pepper, and it was easy to conjecture the old mans fate. With his large frame and small head. his long haIr growing almost from his eyebrows. and a mouth extending from ear to ear, q look at the animal would cause you to think of your rifle and rcvolver~, and to ask if they were ready for use.

Jefferson, Ia, June 23.-A warrant
was sworn out Friday evening for the
arrest of Horace Shipman for breach
of the peace. Shipman was very eX-
citable man, strongly suspected Of In
sanity by those who knew him well.
Marshal Swearingen took the warrant
to serve, and DR.. q. ii. Grimmell,
Shipman's family physician, went
ahead of the marshal to attempt to
have Shipman surrender peacefully.
Shipman agreed to this, but when
Swearingen and Deputy Sheriff Fred
Kendall appeared at the door he
warned them not to come in under
penalty of death. Swearingen, I'M
daunted, started to pull his revolver
for the purpose of entering, and Ship
man fired load of shot, striking the
marshal in the lower part of the face
and killing him Instantly.
DIR. Grimmell and the deputy beat a
retreat, leaving the body of the mar
shall upon the-porch. Sheriff Anderson
Immediately went to the scene of the

him. 1t then became quiet inside, ant

4 The Good md tho n.s.

One ought to balance the good with
the bad and also the length Of time a
man has lived to form true estimate
of his character. Polybius, the Greek
historian, has an observation to the
same effect. "There is no reason" says
he, "why we should not sometimes
blame and sometimes commend the
same person, for, as none is always
right, neither is it probable that he
should be always wrong"
