The frolicsome maidens and calloT
youths had wended their weary way
homeward. The screeching of the
nails as they were being drawn from
the woo4, the crash Of falling timbers
and the resonant sound of hammern
had begun. In the street workmen
were clearing away the debris of a
weeks merry making. Suddenly one
of them paused in his work. His at
tention was attracted by sound, like
that of human voice. Carefully lis'
tening he located the source of the
noise under fallen box. which once
served as peanut stand. Lifting ons
corner of the box he gave Shrek of
surprise. Instantly everything was ex-
citement. Other men gathered quick
ly and the box was raised. Covered
with dust and CRIME, emaciated and
unconscious, a woman's form was dis
closed. A physician was hastily sum
moned and the woman was carried tE
nearby house. The unfortunate is
clearly beautiful and her appearance
stamps her as one of wealth and re-
fincment. Her story told when she
had partially recovered was peculiar
and interesting one.

clerk hire have originated. There Is
bill for $59.O0 now pending for extra
clerk hire for Treasurer Kuhl's office.
The bill has had queer history 1t
was allowed with bunch OF bills on
June lst. 1T is habit the board has
had.of passingbills amountinting to hun
dreds of dollars in this haphazard way
After it was allowed, supervisor COOK
saw it for the first time, and demanded
that his vote be recorded against it.
He read the code to the board and the
motion to allow was reconsidered.
Strange as it may seem no record OF
these actions was made on the minute
book of the board. The bill was al
lowed to slumber until the last day OF
the recent 81 ssion when it was again
brought forward and Mr.. Cook was
urged by the other members to with
draw his objection and allow the bill.
This he refused to do and the board
was forced to ask for legal advice. The
matter has been referred by the
county Attorney to the Attorney Gen
eral, and the bill is still pending.
Should the Attorney General, as there
can be no doubt but that he will, de-
lare the bill illegal, it will effect ali
prior bills of like nature heretofore
allowed.
Bearing in mind the fact that where
the law states specifically when and
how thing may be done, it follows that
under other circumstances it cannot
be done. we would ask our readers to
Judge for themselves from the following
provision of the code bearing on the
question.
Code of Iowa, section ALL
In case no deputy shall be appointed, but
on account of the pressure OF business
in his Office, the treasurer is compelled
temporarily to employ an assistant, he
shall file the bill for such service at
their next regular meeting, and the
board of supervisors shall make q
reasonable allowance therefor.
In counties haa'iug a population Of more
than thirty thousand, it 1.-THE board) may
allow such sum in addition Tor clerk
hire as may be proper.
One of the strangest things connect
ed with this affair is the suppression
of all mention of it from the minute
book of the BOARD or the printed re.
cord. Two motions we're passed by
the board June 1st relative to this bill,
one to allow and one to reconsider,
both should have been part OF the pub
lie and printed record. Nevertheless
the bill was pic eon-holed and no men
ton made of it in any way. The
omission is the result either of gross
carelessness, or an intent to keep the
facts from the public.
Again we ask is it not time that the
board consulted the Code before pass
ing bills and the record be KEEP
straight so that the people may know
just what is being done with theil
money.

TWO MEN AND A CONVENTION

Two prominent men accredited
leaders of democratic thoughts at
tended the recent state convention OF
that party. Both men went supposed
]y representing grave and earnest con-
viction concerning matters of principle.
One represented the government:
ownership idea, the other stood as
one of the champions of free silver and
the reaffirmation of the Kansas City
platform. The ideas of both men met
defeat at the hands of the convention.
Either man could have had the nomi-
nation for Governor. One man said
''if my ideas are not acceptable to de-
mocracy my person should not be. A
candidacy is nothing if it does not re-
present principle, what would it profit
a man to accept nomination, even il
it meant an election if to do it one
must stifie his convictions"
The other said, my principles have
been defeated, and discarded and re
jected, the party is in the hands o
those who execorate the theories tt
which l have pledged my support
nevertheless I will accept the nomina
ton for the personal glory there is il
it,"
The one man was Judge Val
Wag enen of Sioux City, defeated. dis
credited, but with honor untarnished
the other was Jerry Sullivan, victori
| ous-a candidates. hypocriLe.

GLORY IN THEIR SHAME.

"They got the platform" said local
free silver leader, "but" and his bosom
swelled with manly pride, 1--WE got the
candidate"
What profteth it man if he gains
the whole world, and loses his own
soul? And yet such is the strange
conception some men have of politics.
This leader, actually gloats over what
he considers smart and clever trick.
The gold democrats are to be told to
fix their.eyes on the platform. the sill
yer democrats are to be told to regard
the candidates. And this~is democratic
politics. For shame, the very fact
that Mr.. Sullivan accepted the nomi-
ton after the defeat of the principle
for which he stood, brands him as a
man unfit to receive. the popular suf-
frage. The democratic platform and
ticket is bastard production. Like
the mule it can have no pride in an
cestry nor hope for posterity. How
ever much the silverites may plmue
themselves in having saved candi
date from their wreck OF principle, il
is fact that the action of the Iowa
democratic convention was the great
est boom to Clevelandism ana the
greatest back-set to Organism of any.

The Bulletin in its attempt to mis-

ten itself into an akward trap from
which we leave it to exticate itself as

Ia the Bulletin of June 9th, half a

abusive editorial is based on the fol-
lowing item in the REVIEW.

meeting of the Sioux Mining Company

the meeting was the merging of the
Sioux Mining Co with the Astor Min

siderable discussion. Mr.. Gulick was
not favorable to the merging, but later
Developments have perhaps proven
the move good one. There is consid-
cradle Ohio capital invested in the As
tor Co. and these parties now have
ready 100000 cash to invest in a new
mill. Expert mine inspectors and
assayers who are disinterested are of
the opinion that bright prospects are
in store for the company. There was
quite an accident at one of the mines
while Mr.. Quick was there. Three
miners were warming up some dyna-
mite preparatory to doing some blast
ing, when for some unexIlainable
reason it exploded. The men we're

where the explosion took place. While

DO YOU Sff?
Are Your Eyes in Good Con-
 diliOu?

Do you see too little or do you see too much? The eye is certainly the most useful, as it is the most wonderful of all organs of special sense. The organs of touch, taste and smell, in order to perform their functions, must be placed in actual contact with the foreign sub stance which excites their activity. But the sense of sight is not so limited, but is equal sensitive to the impress sion of light, whether it comes close at hand OF from the unmeasureable dis tance of the fixed stars. The eye is in more direct connection with the brain and mind than other organ and thus it often expresses the strongest passion and the most tumultuous emotions as well as the gentlest thoughts and most delicate sentiments. If your eyes are ailing, l can fix them for you There is no place in the world that can make a pair of glasses that ] cannot duplicate here in Skagway. l have a complete grinding plant and all up-to-date in- struments.
