The Samson, Morgan, Capt, Is taking on load of sulphurets at the Tread we'll dock. The Samson is the new freighter of the Black Ball line. She has tackle capable of lifting 30 tons.
 Rev. c. S. Revelle, pastor of the M. E. church in this city, is packing his household goods, preparatory to his departure for the States, where he ex- poets to arrive in time for the annual conference. Whether or not he will be returned to Douglas, lays with that body.

Other attractions are Le Valley, black face comedian and banjo specialist; Miss Lillian Starr, the Swedish Nightingale" Miss Millie Rose, the "Coon Shouter;;" Miss Maude Le Blanche, Soprano Soloist, and the Moving Pictures.
 A very pleasant time is reported at the Base Ball social last Friday night. A beautiful silk banner, the work of Mrs. Frank Merryfield, was presented to the Douglas champions in neat speech by Rev. Coyle. MT. z. R. Cheney responded on behalf of the club. A number of couples were over from Juneau and stayed for the dance.
 Mir. Rudolph Troll has leased the Douglas Opera House and is preparing to give series of entertainments of a high order. "Rudy" is too we'll known to need an introduction to Douglas people. He is quiet, gentlemanly young man, and by the application of conservative business methods, will no doubt succeed in his present under taking.
 Catcher Belden made close run for home base and several people called him out. One man in the grand stand yelled out "The umpire says you are out" Belden began to think possibly he was declared out and yelled to the umpire, "Did you say was, Irish?" "No," said Irish, "I wouldn't say that of any man who is as good ball player as you are." And one by one the grand stand caught on and called for one on Belden.-RecordsM Miner.
 A party of Douglas boys started Saturday night for Bear creek, on the launch Clare. Going up the channel they encountered one of the worst fogs ever. Two of the party were placed on the bow to keep sharp lookout, but in spite of their vigilance the boat came in contact with the electric light cable with so much force that the cable was torn from it's fastenings. Fire and birthstone, thunder and lightning all at once convinced the boys that they were up against it. When it was all over and it was found that no one was hurt the Clare was headed for home to wait for pleasauter night.

Photographer E. A. Hegg is putting the finishing touches on three large panoramic views of Douglas and Treadweu, for Supt. MacDonald. These views are 21ax6R it. and show the en- tire group of mines under the Tread we'll management, also Douglas City. MT. Hegg is surely an artist and these pictures prove it. He has probably taken more views in Alaska than any other man. The click of his camera has been heard as far north as Pt. Bar row, the most northerly settlement on the American continent. In the early, rush to the Klondike, when thousands of eager men were struggling through the passes over the.summit, Hegg was there with his camera, snapping every thing in sight When Dawson became the metropolis of the Yukon, Hegg was located in her midst. When Nome burst forth in all the glory of gold camp, Hegg was there taking pictures of the miners as they washed the gold from the sands of the beach. So it is that he now has views of Alaska numbering away up in the thousands.

Mr.. Ryan says that the climatic ad-
vantages of Phoenix are almost wholly
unknown. and that if they were better
known il would be an advantage 10

it was shown that on the east side alone

He mentioned the relief that might ua
afforded to many Of those sufferers IL
such q climate as this.
Mr.. Ryan also spoke Of a recent ar
ticle in the New York Herald on the
Swiss health resorts. Nobody knows
more of them than he does. and it is q,
matter of regret with him that the
resorts of Arizona are not so well ad-
Vertised as are those resorts and those
of the Adirondacks
Among Mr.. Ryan's intimate personal
friends is Mr.. George Harvey. the edi-
tor OF H8rper's Weekly. He has been

CARE OF THE INDECENT

John J. Bowen OF Bisbee arrived here
yesterday morning and is a guest of the
Hotel Adams. He Will be in the city for
several days. Mr.. Bowen is chairman

the purpose of attending the annual
convention Of the chairmen Of boards OF
supervisors Of the various counties. an
organization that mas been in ezistenca
for some years and that is kept up Tor
the purpose Of conferences en- questions
that al have a mutual official interes,
in. This convention viii meet nexI
Friday
But Air. Bowen came @ little early 10
have n heart talk with the
MaricOpa county beard over oue7-
ton that has been under consideration
for some time. That is the making %.
an arrangement whereby this county
shall take certain OF the INDECENT class
that falls 20 the lot Of Cochise county
ana keep them for reasonable CON
sideration.
The fact that this county has a good
poor farm. with tiIlable land where
those who are able can be employed.
and with other resources to make il IN
a measure self-sustaining, leads TO the
conclusion on the part Of some that il
can care for the INDECENT of Other
counties ct perhaps a small profit anc
yet with less expense 10 these counties
than provision could be made for them
at home.
No action has yet been taken in re-
gard to the matter.

should be evident in every city in
America.
In regard to the causes that led to
the gigantic undertaking q dispatch
says:
1.-THE movement which eliminated
in the final breaking Of ground today
followed the epidemic fever in 1898.
Though the disease was mild and the
mortality comparatively Insignificant,
immense business losses were suffered
through the institution of prohibitive
guarantees, and q great public de-
mand was aroused for radical sanitary
reform. The property holders prompt
ly voted the required tax, necessary
legislative action was secured and
constitutional authority for the issue
Of bonds. Unavoidable delays, how
ever. postponed the actual commence
ment of work until today"
This shows the importance of sani-
tation, and should be well considered
by the people in other places who have
given little thought to the subject.
Here IN Paducah we have a complete
system Of sanitary sewerage in the
most thickly populated sections, and
yet hundreds Of people do not use it,
II sanitary sewerage is a good thing it
ought to be used, especially where it
is already built. The effect of using
the sewerage here, according to doc
tors, is already manifested in many
ways, and has been beneficial in the
extreme, but would be much more so
if every house in tho sewer district
were connected with it.
