The proposition emanating from the var. ious fraternal societies and clubs of Nome
 by which they will unite and give an enter
 tainment for the benefit of Holy Cross hos
 pital, is an excellent one, and should receive the heartiest support of the people. We believe it will The great amount of good accomplished by the sisters, who are in charge of the hospital, cannot be overesti
 mated. It is of the self sacrificing kind which should and does appeal to all. It is done silently and continuously without osten- ation and for no earthly reward Holy Cross hospital needs money just now to meet obligations that are outstanding, and we do not hesitate to say that the generous people of Nome will respond most literally

A Subscriber writes THE NUGGET as fol lows; "In reference to your publishing a list of sourdoughs of '99, would it not be in order to publish a list of those who endured the hardships and arrived at Nome over the ice during the winter of 1899 and 1900, prior to the arrival of the boats in 1900. In my estimation the people who took this trip should be considered with the pioneers of '9S and '99" There is force in what our correspondent says. The men and women for there were few women among the number-who made the long journey down the Yukon, are clearly entitled to be classed among the foremost of the pioneers of this section, and THE NUGGET would be well pleased to receive their names for publica tion. Names may be left at THE NUGGET office or mailed at the postoffice.

Again we are assured that the president has no thought of permitting any tamper- ing with the sacred Dingley bill during the present session of congress. It is intimated, however. that he expects something to be done in that line after he is firmly planted in hisseat for second term. Now, if tariff revision would be dangerous thing for him, would it not be a parlous thing for the gentleman selected to succeed him Mr. Roosevelt is unkind.

The news received by the last mail from St. Michael telling of the wreck of the little steamer Discovery, while meagre and unsat- isfactory as to details, is without doubt too true. Such dismal tales usually are. It may, however, turn out that all the pas sengers and crew did not meet death Among them were some we'll known Nome people, a list of whose names is published elsewhere in this issue.

ELNA
An effort is being made to organize
Sons OF Veterans lodge in Elma.
James Brady purchased two improved
farms in this vicinity, last week, through
+. S. Alvey.
Miss Mildred Hines returned to Port
land Thursday, after an extended visit
with Elma relatives.
Mrs. Jennie Malette was granted
divorce from Asa Mallette and given the
custody of their child, last week.
Noah Grippe returned Tuesday from his
land claim, in the Quinault country, and
will soon begin the erection of photo
graph gallery.
Elma will elect an almost entirely new
city council at the next election, only one
of the aldermen, Lowell, holding over.
This state of affairs is due to the death
and resignation of members.
The new town we'll has never been
used, and it is very likely that it never
will be used. The only proposition facing
the town is that of pumping station,
and one will undoubtedly have to be
placed in next summer.
The new room at the schoolhouse,
which is to be used for a gymnasium and
auditorium, is nearly finished and the
pupils will be admitted in a few days.
This makes fine room for indoor sports
in the rainy season, and in addition to
that, will make an ideal meeting place
for the literary society, and room where
the whole school may meet.

a refreshing object lesson.

Was it a Duel ?
marion News.)

1t seems that the old method of settling
quaTels by dueling has not entirely pass
ed away. Court circles were enlivened by
an Indictment found against James Fritz
and Erastus Hollifield for sending chal-
lenge and fighting a duel 1t seems that
the duel was fought for the purpose of
deciding which of the two was the better
man and which was the cock of the
walk" There were seconds to the fight
and everything was arranged as to time
and place. The fact that no surgeons were
present nor provisions made for any
seemed to indicate that il was not in
tended to be fight to he death The
novel feature of the whole affair is that
no deadly weapons were used-just regu-
lar old time, before the war, old-field
muster fist and skull fight. The judge,
however, refused to look upon it as so
serious matter as to be dignified with the
name of duel. The matter is to be
taken up to the Supreme Court for deci-
sion on the question, as the question of
whether a duel can be fought under the
statute without the use of deadly weapons
The statute under which the Indictment
was found dates back to the year 1902
when the famous duel between Burr and
Hamilton occurred A very interesting
question of law has consequently been
raised. Another question raised incidental
the court is whether upon the charge of
dueling failing defendant may be con-
victed of an affray on the same bill.
