that it is the best remedy ever used.
I had been unable to sleep of nights for
over two months. but after the first
DAVIS use I got so much relief that /
have slept every night since using it.

almost entirely cured. and take great

PLOT TO RUIN OIL WELLS. The
most startling story that has ever come
ont of the Beaumont, Texas, oil fields is
given out in Dallas, on the information
Of one of the most prominent men Of
Fort Worth, who has returned from
Beaumont. This man declares that the
Standard Oil Company has perpetrated
a most gigantic swindle in the Beaumont
fields. The independent oil companies
of Beaumont are the victims, leading
men of the wreck ed or injured companies
who determined to investigate, having
in two days raised $27, 900 with which
to push the work. Ii is declared that
numerous oil wells, apparently ruined
by salt water, were put in their bad con-
dition by the Standard Compauy's con-
spirators. As fast as company went
to the wall its property was bought IN
by the Standard. The Standard Oil
Company long ago built pipe line from
Beaumont to the Gulf of Mexico, with
pumping station at Beaumont aud
another at the Gulf. Suddenly many
wells of independent companies had salt
water in them. One day pumping
station got out of order and oil pumping
had to be suspended. Suddenly, wells
that had been giving out fully one-hali
salt water began flowing nothing but OIL
good fuel oil, it is declared. Investiga-
tors secretly plugged up the pipe line at
the Beaumont end, detoured several
miles into the country, dug into the
ground over the pipe line, made a tap.

into the air nearly l00fe 1t is claim

Galley, owner of the Journal, a news
paper published in Fredericksburg, dis
appeared from his place Of business on
Saturday morning at 9 O'Clock, and at
10 O. clock that night he was found in
an unconscious condition in vacant lot
on the river bank by two young men,
who were attracted to the spot by cries
for help. A carriage was sent for ana
he was taken to his home and physi-
elan was called. Mr. McCalley, though
still confined to his bed, is now much
improved. He states that while near
the free bridge on Saturday morning he
was approached by a stranger, who gave
him two peaches, which he ate, and be
saws he has no further recollection Of
ANYTHING until be found himself lying
in the vacant lot, wet and cold,
few minutes before the young men
came to his assistance. lie says tina, he
had over 800 in his pocket at the time
he ate the peaches, and thatit was taken
from him while he was unconscious.

The Proper Treatment for sprain-
ed Ankle.

As a rule a man will feel well satisfied
if ne can hobble around on crutches
two or three weeks after spraining his
ankle. and it is usually two or three
months before he has fully recovered.
This is an unnecessary loss Of time, for
in many cases in which Chamberlain
Pain Balm has been promptly and
freely applied, a complete cure has been
effected in less than one weeks time,
and in some cases within three days.

THE NEW CITY COUNCIL.

The new city council has lost no time in getting to work. It seemed to be "eager for the fray" It felt though there deep problems solve and the council exhibited strenuousity of purpose that nothing could balk. The seats occupied by the mem- bers of the old council not cold when the mem- bers of the filed in and took possession and pro- ceeded to the work of efecng permanent organi- zation. Presto, change! It done almost in the twinkling of eye, and today Nome has brand new city council, without waiting until tomorrow Some dyspeptc persons mean enough to say that the new members were eager to the point of brash- ness to assume their new duties. But this is only snvous criticism. The council know that they have hard financial nuts to crack and we submit that they went against their work with Spartan fortitude and determination to do de." IL is to be hoped that their zeal will meet with no chilling frosts and their efforts in the direction of econony, retrench- ment and reform" will be crowned with success. There IS little danger that they will accomplish too much. The handicaps too heavy. The city needs stimulant of some kind; it needs toning up for its somewhat shattered and its circu- latOn" is bad. But it will survive. It will pull through some way. And in the meantime our sym- pathies are extended to the members of the city council and sincerely trust that they will enabled to realize at the end of their civic year that the high aspirations for the ctys welfare that they entertain ed upon assuming office, will not have become dim med or forgotten. ..

ALASKA AND THE WORLDS FAIR.

It is possible that Alaska will be represented at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis next year. Congress at its recent session asked to help this territory to carry out it's plans and an ap ropriation of $50 O0O asked for the purpose of collecting and transporting exhibits from Alaska to St. Louis. We ought to receive this appropriation whether we have not. Alaska is exceptionally sit- uated, and its scattered population and magnificent distances make it impossible for the people cooper ate and bear between them the cost of a proper dis play of the resources of the country The St. Louis Exposition will afford excellent opportunity to bring these to he attention of visitors from other countries The fruits of the dis play will follow latcr for it will be to interest generally When it becomes generally known to the outside world that Alaska has large agricultural possibilities as well rich and varied mineral resources, there will be no lack of imm grafton to occupy the public lands and engage in agricultural we'll as mining pursuits and other industries. Alaskas fisheries are famous. They will soon lead those of any other part of the world. It's forests inviting the lumber man, and the latter will soon be forced, through the exhaustion of the timber in the lower attitudes to in wade them to suppl: the demands of commerce. Every year adds to Alaska's importance as mineral country. There is nothing, however, that can tell the story of the countrys wealth as eloquently as carefully managed exhibit at the coming fair Let us hope we will have it.

ing even our powers of thought. Not only do we believe and draw strength and inspiration from
 the universal life but that life all times and in all it's phases is good. The unity that have affirmed is unity with infinite goodness and wsdom.'
 But the very primer and abcedaran formula of the "New Thought is this remarkably luminous ex- presson
 "In man, creator and creature are united; the circle of existence is made complete. The evolution of nature so long carried in ignorance or most limited consciousness, is now crowned with won drous consciousness of self. This sef-conscousncss expands and its growth leads to what may be called the goal of all existence--indivdual mastery and control. This IS the vision recognition that has been apprehended in a measure by the mystics and of the past, in their ecsases and entranceents But the men of this century will both feel and know; their emotions will act in with their intelligence; and from the basis of this union shall rise the apotheosis of universal consciousness" 4 This "New Thought" so vague and indefnablt, which consists, apparently, of assertions incompre- hensible in form ard unprovable in substance has thousands of confessors in the United States but es pecaly in the West, and may not be ignored by scofers. It has both physiological and religious aspect and has gathered so many minds under its standards that if is worthy the attention of university professors teachers of religion and the magazines and newspapers hat pretend to mirror the time.

gold producer it has taken three years to establish.

The closl. minded statesman n" says that the Alaska code qualified
 tie new councilmen to take their seats on Monday night last. This i' good thing to know. It re- minds us of a story. Several years ago a man who had been elected to the office of constable in a South ern township appeared'one day be- fore an old justice of the peace, noted for his honesty and profanity, to be sworn in." "Squa'r" he sl d "I've just come down to qual-
 ;fy for that yere otfice." The squire eyed him a moment and remarked: "All right Bill, I'll swear you in, but all h--f wouldn't qualify you"

Following is the monthly salary roll of the city, which the new city council announces it's intention to prune with sharp knife: City clerk $20O; city attorney $175; city health officer $1o0; city treasurer $50; chief fire department $50; chief of lolice $25O; engineer fire department $2OO; driver fire de- 'partuent $125; cook, fire depart ment $6O; municipal judge $l25; two police patroImen $50 each. Besides this there is an appropria- tion of $l50 per month for the fire mems mess, maxim. total of $2,035 monthly for the actual cost of maintaining the various depart ments of the city government. It needs no diagram to show that such a burden would speedily swamp a fair-sized city; but Nome-is a mere village.

not disappointed. Mayor valen- tine filled the office with dignity y and a"rare conscientiousness; he stood for what he believed was right and having taken q stand he never faltered or weakened. The same may be said of his colleagues who retired with him. The second city council of Nome found no primrose path to tread, and the city owes need of praise to these men, who did their best in the discharge of their duties, without reward or hope of reward, but from a high minded sense of the requirements of American citizenship.
The Nome nugget., 1903-04-22

THE NUGGET published a brief article in it's last issue relative to q report that a steamer had been sighted off Topkok. The informa- tion was received from as reliable a man as can be found in Nome, Mir. L. s. Burrell, and was published on his statement. THE NUGGET has no apologies to offer, since the publica- ton was made in good faith.

SENATORIAL ELECTIONS.

That perseverance wins is illus trated by the election of the Hon. Levi Ankeny of Walla WAla, Wash. to the United States senate. His perseverance was backed, how ever, by the strenuous sinews of war, that is 10 say by the money and influence of a half dozen or more national banks of which he is president. Nowadays when it comes to obtaining q seat in the United States senate, or as it is fre- quently called, the Millionaire's Club, money is an all-powerful factor.
 In Oregon last June the people voted for United States senator, that is to say they were given the opportunity to indicate their choice by ballot. Gov. T. T. Geer receiv- ed the most votes but at last accounts he was not likely to be elected.
 In Delaware Addicks, the gas man millionaire, owns an influen- tial wing of the Republican party, and for years the politics of that state has been in a state of constant turmoil, and it probably will be until Addickism is eliminated in some way or other. In other states the election of Unittd States sena- tors is not much more than farce. It is the weight of money that counts, rather than brains and ability. So it will remain until United States senators are elected directly by the people. It is much easier to debauch state legislature than it is to buy up like cattle, q majority of the people of state.

A: WORD FOR THE "RETIRED."

THE NUGGET connot let the retiring members of the old city council pass into private life without sayinga few words in their praise. What ever their mistakes were in the line of economy if any, were not of the wilful kind No tant or suspic-
 ion of graft dishonesty in the discharge of their o
 6cial duties attaches to the gentlemen who Mon- day evening with sigh of relief turned the municipal. machinery to their successors Each has been faithful and painstakng. They gave more to the ciyby far than they received. They gave their time which'as business men valuable and they received scant thanks for their gratutous services They expected none, perhaps and therein they were
