A Valentine Affair.

Twenty-one years ago the 18th of Feb
ruary, Mr.. and Mr.. Hollis A. Mudgett
of Johnson, were presented with tiny
blue. eyed daughter, which they named
Lottie Valentine. Several days before
the I4th of this month, Mr.. Raymond,
our jolly faced, obliging, mail carrier,
began to bring her presents, from No.
Charlestown, N. H., where Miss Mud
gett spent several very happy years
with her parents as a resident there
and student in the Farwell Graded
School. On the anniversary of her
birthday she received numerous useful
and beautiful presents from friends,
among them a gift of SIS from her
parents. Naturally she expected the
presents would cease coming after the
18th but no, they kept coming by spe-
cial carriers, and she thought the old
adage true -" 1t never rains but it pours."
Lottie always appreciates and makes
good use of her presents, as she has
proved by the use she has made of the
nice Estey organ her parents gave her
several years ago, which she has learned
to play in a way that has given her
parents and friends a great deal of
pleasure and her very efficient teacher,
Miss Jennie Quimby, great satisfaction.
On the evening of the 18th there was
candy pull at her home at East Johnson.

BLUFF CITY
 NEWS NOTES
Not Much Doing in That Locality ...Steam Dredge to Work
 Beach Next Summer.

Bluff City, Nov. 23.-There is not much doing here this fall; winter is about setting in. Twenty or more per sons are trying to work on the beach and are banking up the gravel against Boring sea. A private company is go- ing to bring in steam dredger from Marion, Ohio, to work the beach next summer.
 The country around Bluff has been staked and restaked. A man who has to work for wages, or on the beach to hold his claim should commit suicide. He is fool to be living and herding 20 acres of tundra waiting, waiting, ever- lastingly waiting for the gold to grow.
 Gustavus O'Landers and Al. Rosean- der are working on Golden Torrent; Frank Fellows, Ben Vincent, and the renowned Jim Brown are working on Eldorado. J McClintock is also doing some work on the same creek.
 Myers Berger, who is living on Mo- ? Daniels, has been out night and day after tundra chicken. O'Brien, who goes along the telephone line after every storm picking up the dead ones, says Myers frightens the chickens and they fly against the wires, get electrocuted and then O'Brien bags them.
 Joe Dunn, of Muskrat Heights, is working on Ryan creek. Tom the Dean and Charlie Nelson are also working on Ryan creek. Pay has been found on No. , above, but not rich enough for winter work.
 The miners are watching the hootch peddlers, and so far no hootch has been put on the market. The Eskimos are sober and working, but things are look ing blue for the wholesale liquor men. Their case is growing desperate. One saloon man, who was forced out of busi- ness, left enough poison and drugs be- hind him to kill off the entire popula- tion of Alaska, rats and all. O'Brien says spoonful of the stuff should be put down the animals throat if he ever comes back.

WINTER TIME

On Nov. F Mercury Registered 10 BeIOw.-The Wireless Station
 Awaits Port Safety.

St. Michael, Nov. 14.-It has been like winter here for the past 20 days, although there is no snow. On Nov l2 the thermometer registered Is below.
 The wireless station is ready here, and we are wondering what can be the matter with Port Safety. MT. Wilson, of the station here, will leave soon for Port Safety and Nome.
 There will be some hungry natives here later on. They have no fish, and ptarmigan are scarce, there being no snow as vet to drive them down from the hills.
 Judge Merritt has been kept quite busy recording claims from the Anvir section where it is alleged gold has been found, principally on Carlson creek. It is considered more of a boom than a real prospect, although about sl9 worth of dust alleged to have been taken from Carlson creek, was exhib- tied here short time ago. The opin- ion is, however, that while big com pany might work the ground at a profit, it is no place for poor man.
 On Nov. T. Haas paid fine of S360 and $3S costs for giving liquor to na- tives: Chim Kee was fined $500 and $l9.40 costs on similar charge, which he also paid and was discharged. Peter Hordmsdorff has been arrested on a charge of malicious destruction of property.

Finding it impossible to re- concile the differences he went of into philosophical tantrum and dropped the study.

Negroes Formerly Owned by John

William Z. Steveson, attorney, of
Indianapolis, has been employed by
80 survivors of the slaves of John
Randolph, of Roanoke, the famous
Virginian, to bring suit for the re-
covery of 5000 acres in Mercer
county, Ohio, now supposed to be
worth between $500, 900 and $780,
900. John Randolph, who died IN
1880, willed freedom to his slaves
and also provided that each should
have 10 acres of land which was to
be purchased for them by the execu-
tor. The sum of SIS, 900 was left 10
provide stock for the land.
William Leigh, of Halifax, was
appointed executor and was charged
by the court with purchasing the
land on which the 800 negroes were
to be located. He went to new
Bremen, Ohio, and there purchasd
the $4,000 acres for the negroes.
They left Virginia and were nearing
the new settlement in boat when
the settlers, mostly Germans, at
tackled them. The negroes fed, ter
rifed, and never returned. The ex-
ecutor sold the land to the white set
tiers.
