A RATHER ludicrOus story is doing "A the rounds on His Honor Judge
 Moore. It seems that the judge together with Claudius Mcbride must needs take constitutional every nice Sabbath morn. Last Sunday they sauntered, as is their wont, Fort Davis wards. On this side of the bridge which spans Nome river there is certain hostelry across whose counter soothing beverages and refreshing liquors are handed, to lubricate the parched thorax ot the weary traveller. Into the estab- lishmsnt stepped the judge, followed by Claudius. Several Lapps were gathered in one corner of the room en- gagged in broken English conversation which would lead one to surrnise that a cutting affray had taken place up at the Laplander village. The judge looked at Claudius and Claudus looked at the judge. Then the judge, in man. ner which would make Sherlock Holmes run to cover. moved over to the group and casually inquired of parti- cipant in the,conversation, the cause.of the cutting and the names of the chief actors. ''By Yimminy, am on toyou," :" said the accosted one, "you cant fule me; you iss von of dem fly cops from de vail, you tank go to toll you all about it? Not much. You will haf me haul up before Nudge Moore and haf dose lawyers make damn fule out off me. '" The judge hastened'to explain that he was not "'Ry cop" but just an ordinary citizen inquiring for no other than
 personal information. The Lapp would not be convinced and finally

 "Whereas All appeals from the dis trict court of the district of Alaska are by law now required to be heard at San Francisco, Cal and
 "Whereas, The district of Alaska is remote from and inconven!ent to the city of San Francisco: and
 "Whereas, The center of all mail and passenger routes to and from the dis trct of Alaska is the city of Seattle. and it is the nearest and most cOnven- tent point in the states for the trans action of business from the district of Alaska: and
 "Whereas, The extra distance from Seattle to San Francisco occupies two days of travel and involves large addi- lional expense and causes considerable delay ia the transportation of mails and the transaction of business with points in the district of Alaska:
 "Whereas, If causes on appeal from Alaska were heard in the city of Seattle the attendance of Alaska counsel at convenient times of the year can be ob- tained at but small expense to the liti. rants; therefore,
 "Be it resolved, That this association favors and urges the taking of such measures as will provide for the hear ing of appeals from the district courts for the district of Alaska at the city of Seattle instead of the city of San Fran cisco; and
 "Be it further resolved, That the president and secretary of this associa- tion are hereby directed to put them selves in communication with such per- sons as will aid in the accomplishment of the purposes of these resolutions.

Little did we think that Monday night's performance of Mistress Nell" would cause the entire camp 10 con gratul late itse If upon having d group O. players that would do hCnOr to any aC. vaHced city. Miss Christie MacLean i- indeed woman who und, rstinGs her profession to its most technical de- tail. A feature winch Was ,Ner, one most gr"cefully wa the inadeqnacy of facilities to properly stage great drama such as M Stre>s Nell"ls. The beautiful cost umts, the absence of stage fright,' (which in amateurs is d rarity) tue smoothness with which the lines were rendered all b. spoke the devotion with which Miss MacLean applied herself to the enormous task which was ,onsummated so succe s- fully.
 Enough cannot be sad in praise of Ihe manner iu which sh layed the t,ar ni Nell Gwyu. the kind hearted. rtckl s- imp. who turl ed tn. head uf the entire court of har|, II incl ding the Merr! Monarch himself. Tn ball room scene in which Nell appears as a captivating Irish cavalier was exciting and interesting from start to finish. The repartee of the scene was reeled off with spontaneous vivacitv, accom- panied with just enough of the brosue 70 put the ent ire audience in a mirthful mood. A strong -cene superh'y acted was the one in which Nell disgui-ed aS Allan Adair denounces herself to Lady Portsmouth. Charles II hears the de- famation and upholdS with his sword and homer the name of Nell Gwyn. It reveals 10 Nell that the king loves her and she gives vent to her joy in manner which wins all beho'derS and listeners.
 Mrs Burrell was wichingly beau tifnl Lady Portsmouth and most c edit ably renAered the q tficnlt part. As King Charles II Fred Hanks certainly did do the Merry Monarch bn-incss to a queens taste. He looked as han1- some as he acted well. and I have TO doubt but that Freddie would have created quite stir as king of Eng'and about the time hat Charle, II rei"ned. The pomp"uS dignity of the Dnke f Buckingham could not have heen pnt better nor broader shoulders han ! oSe of Capt. Baldwin. He made fine duke, acted like an old stager, as though he were to the manner born. Neither overriding nor leaving his art undone, he was the Duke of Bucking- ham always.
 The minupt WIS beautiful picture, royalty danced and eXqu sitely costum- ed. If I had the space I no doubt would exhaust my supply of adjeclives descrt ping the clevernts ss and leauty of the people who took part in a play for sweet charity which was no doul t the best ever given in Alaska. Miss MacLean was presented with solid 2 id heart as a token of the apprecia. ton of her untiring energy in making Mist reSs Nell the overwhelming success it was. Capt. Bal Twin made the pre- sentation speech and in few words em- bod ed all that could have been said in an elaborate eulOgy.

Health Department Veterinarian
Says No Cattle Killed for TIL

''The first thing that the new live stock
sanitary board should do says Dr. A.
A.. Keys veterinarian for the Minneapolis
health department, "is either to muzzle
or educate the member quoted in h e
Jo.urn a yesterday as stating that 40
per cent Of the cattle condemned for t1-
berculosis are not diseased at all.
This chap should be compelled to pro-
.duce his figures or sources Of information.
He cites q case of a farmer at Fridley
who had flfty-four cows condemned by
the health officer Of Minneapolis, and says
that fifty one on inspection by an lex
pert veterinarian were found to be in
perfect health. / want to inform this
high authority that every animal con-
demned by the health department of Min

"This same authority states that nine
tenths of the cattle condemned for tuber-
culosis are sold as beef. If true, it is a
horrible state OF affairs. It is Incredible
that the flesh of diseased cattle Is sold
for food. 49,.
This department has always opposed
such practices and while I am not famil-
lar with practices in other cities, doubt
very much II this anonymous authority
can substantiate such a statement. This
man may be well meaning and may prove
a, valuable member of the new board, but
he should certainly familiarize himself

ITS WORD IS FINAL |.
Arbitration Committee Of Foundry
men and Iron Molders in
Session at the West.
Will Settle Differences Which
Caused the Recent Strike
in st. Paul.

The national arbitration committee Of
the National Foundrymen's association
and the Iron Molders' union of North
America was in executive session at the
West hotel to-day, striving to adjust the
differences between the twin city foundry
men and their employees. The! ST. Paul
workers went on a strike some time ago,
but were ordered back pending the ,dect-
sion Of the national committee, whose ac-
ton will be final.
The national association is made up
equally Of employers and employees, be-
tween whom a written agreement exists
that both sides must be governed by a
decision Of majority Of the members OF
the committee. The word ''arbitration,'
as one Of the iron moulders explained this
afternoon, is really a misnomer. He says
that Cancellation is the better name, be-
cause it is the aim and purpose of the
committee to exhaust all possible
means Of adjusting differences by con-
cessions and other means rather than
come to any conclusions as between the
issues which present themselves at the
outset.
Both sides agreed to-day that there was
every prospect Of satisfactory settle-
ment.
The iron molders are represented by
Financial Secretary r. H. Metcah and
George Custer of Indianapolis, Ind, and
William Schwab of Milwaukee.
The committeeman from the foundry
mems association are Irving r. Reynolds
of Milwaukee, and Messrs. Ingalls, of Har-
vey, ILL.,, and Wallace Of Racine, Wis.

VERDICT FOR. PLAINTIFF
Brainerd Lumber Company Wins Suits

Rrainerd Lumber Company Wins Suits
Against cooperage Firm.
Judge Simpson this morning directed a
verdict of s1,957.7O for the plaintiff in the
case of the Brainerd Lumber company
against the Minneapolis Cooperage COM
pany. The evidence showed that a con-
tract for thirty barrels of slaves was
made between the parties and that, only
ten being delivered, defendant refused to
settle. Plaintiff began suit to collect and
the court decided in, it's favor.
One of the jurors in the case showed
signs Of baking. When the fornality
of arriving at a verdict was being going
thru with one announced that he wanted
it understood that he voted for the ver-
dict simply because the judge so directed.
The court took occasion to remark that,
as jurors were not generally familiar with
the law and with court procedure, and as
the court was supposed to have fair
knowledge in such matters, it was prob
ably safe to assume that no juror would
be directed by the court to do anything
in violation of his conscience or his duty
as a citizen.
