MIDSUMMER SALE.

Our enterprising clotbier, M. w.
Glickman, is arrangina his semi-an-
nual clearance sale. At this time of
year the summer clothing and furnish
ings can be bought the cheapest, be-
cause no clothier wishes to lay his sum
mel stock away during the winter.
The prices given in Wv. Glickman's

probably convince you that it will pay
to at least examine the stock. He has
some real bargains in store for the early

of Wildwood, the original and Only, with the above result. 1t
is said that the image of the drum major came up SO fast on
the plate while the photographers was developing it that his
foot began to beat irregular time to the drum and the baton
came near ~tumbling out of his hand, while the Zobo outfit
began to squeak with excitement. Wildwood is proud of her

Some steam CTS were sent to Egg island into two weeks quarantine, for cleansing pur- poses, tho very briefness of time being prina flcia proof that such loathsome disease did not exist on them, and as all agreed that their form of disease was identical with what was found on the Oregon, hence my position was thus strengthened, which was conclusively verified by the almost complete disap- pearance of the disease within three weeks from the time of it's inception in the camp, which l had averred would be the case, then and subsequently on my return to my home city, Buffalo, N.

Nome for the land of liberty and jus tice. seems fortunate, and. at the same time, strange, for you could scarcely have thought of me then, but, not all the gifts of man are equal 10 the un- travelling of mysteries, revealed only by apparent accident, when. in fact. SUI premer powers have worked the prsb- lem and man is only the witness-thus it seems you secured the relic of barbarous ignorance that fain would sacrifice the innocent upon the altsr--as an offering fer their sins, this sacrifcial act being itself the greatest sin of all. That l did not fall foul of such ignorant furies, is one of the proofs that virtue is it's own reward" while emphasizing the truth that duty can only be done rwhen fearless. for cowardiee opens the gates tp the foe, just as surely as if the key were handed to the enemy and he were bidden to enter.
 That big bully from Montana, whom told you of. who threatened my life on the Oregon if his wife took the small poX, by his not knowing that my pa- tient, near by, had the disease-which, l averred, had not the discase-he said he would kill ne if she took the sick ness. heard him, and, stepping nearer and nearer, for his benefit, a chance to see that 1 would also have something tn say about such subject, when it can C up for discussion (which fact was very apparent upon my visage) which struck fear into. his tiendish soul, while grew bolder-courase Aourishes in the soil oi right, to one s fellows-I gloried in his anger while forcing myself nearer and nearer his miserable form.

kind, having snow and ice only for food and drink.
 Dr. Hall aspired to excel; his eight years spent among these northern tribes had fitted him for the task he had undertaken. and while on shore he had acquired the use of instruments and was competent surveyor. He as- pired then to become commander and he succeeded in getting command, but either of his four officers was better fitted to command the Polaris than he. Both Buddington and Tyson were masters in those regions, and they would have found safe harbOr for the Polars. But Dr. Hall was essentially landsman and knew little or nothing of ice navigation, the difficulties to be encountered, and how to avoid them.
 There is no doubt that he continued the "happy faculty' of achieving dis astrous results that followed without gaining that popularity which Captain Peary tolls of in his Encyclopedia of Arctic Exploration. Dr. Hall left the world no wiser than before, Captain Peary writes, but it does not seem to to have occurred to Peary that Dr. Hall was keeping his information for future use, and intended to return to King Williams Land and be benefited by it. Col. Glider wishes us to believe that the records of the Erebus and Terror as forever lost, because they failed to find them. Joe (Ebierbing) and the Iwilliks would have liked to keep Schwatka and Glider in their country eight years more, to be supplied by them with ammunition, knives and needles, the same as Dr. Hall had supplied them; and even then they would not have ac- companied the searchers through the territory of the Nachilia tribe. The IwilIiks would furnish skins, dogs, and hunt and work and wait to be pad with whatever stuff might be given them, for that meant riches to an Iwillik. Ithink the reader will fully under stand why Hall or Schwatka did not make search on that distant northern island, and Commander McClintock did not have tue time, but think thor ough search should Le and will yet be made

In the spring and summer of 1900. as nearly all Nomeites will remember, there was ''small-pox scare.' Sev- eral vessels were sent into quarantine at Egg island, near St. Michael, and a pest house was established in Nome. Only one person died, and ever srce that time there has been a diif,!e elce of opinion as to whether the disease was smallpox or not.
 Capt Seeley, of the Steamship Oregon, was blamed bitterly for permitting his passengers to land, there being, it was alleged, case of smallpox on board his vessel. Anyway, he and the ships physician, Dr. J. D. Bonnar, reported all we'll on board. A few days later those of the Oregon passengers who could beNbcated, were rounded up and isolated; number of cases of smallpox were found, and these were placed in the pest house established by the fed eral authorities under the direction of Capt. D. H. Jarvis and the superinten- dsnce of Dr. s. J. Call. It cost the government something like SlS,000, Capt. Jarvis stepping into the breach and assuming the responsibility, for there was no time to communicate with the authorities at Washington.
 Out of this smallpox scare there grew a good deal of animosity, and the Ore gon people were roundly condemned. Threats of hanging the captain and the ships doctor were made should they come on shore. But in the lapse of time it would seem that the Oregon officers did not act in a knowing, culpa- ble manner.
 In the fall of 1901 Capt. E. M. Ceder- bergh. the well-known mining man. sent Dr. Bonnar, the Oregon's medical off cer at that time, & piece of rope. saying it was cut from the rope which the doc tor was to have been hanged by the people of Nome, had he been found.
 Dr. Bonnar, who is a prominent phy- scian of Buffalo, N. Y., last summer replied to the letter. and in it he gives his view of the ''great smallpox scare of Nome in 1g0O." It is well worth reading. Dr. Bonnar sticks to his as sertion that there was no smallpox. either on the Oregon or any of the steamers which were quarantined. His letter to Capt. Cederberg follows:
 II hasten to acknowledge the receipt of your express parcel containing what you inform me, was originally intended for my aveaaking from mundane cares. You say it came from my sue cess in saving the steamship Oregon from quarantine in the summer of 1900,

r TOW much popularity Dr. Hall - gained among those old Arc tic veterans will be left to the
 reader to determine. The ln- formation he received while with the Iwilliks, regarding the Franklin rec ords, he kept for future use, and there is no doubt that had he lived to again return to those Arctic regions, he would have made another attempt to find the cemented vault and the grave of Sir John Franklin. Pat Coleman and three other white men of his party would have braved danger and even death in that undertaking.
 Physically Dr: Hall was an excep- tional man; his tenacity of purpose and powers of endurance were far above those of the ordinary man. He was above medium height. powerfully built, with broad chest and muscular limbs and a large head. In the month of May while we were still with him, we were returning from the west shore Of Committee bay, l2O miles from the Iwillik camp. Our dogs had been on short rations for several days; terri ble blizzard was raging, and during four days our dogs had had but one meal, and our party had eaten their last morsel of food before starting on the return trip. Before half the dis tance had been travelled, four men had become snow blind; lines were attached to their bodies and then to the sled. Dr.. Hall and one white man taking turns in leading the dog team, for the drivers whip had no effect and the dogs must be led On North Pole lake Dr. Hall, too, put line around his body and fastened it to the sied' ai- though be was not snow blind, nor was he ever, SO far as 1 am aware. His small deep set eyes were prooi against that painful malady- For nifty miles he thus walked with the line around his waist, but thero was one white man of the party who covered tho 10 miles without assistance oi any
