John William and John August, twin sons of Anna and August B. Johnson, died on Monday, Feb. 9th, aged IS mo. and 19 days. The funeral services will be held today from the home, Rev. Krause officiating.
 The anniversary entertainment and ball given by the Eagles last Friday night passed off pleasantly. The attend, ance was good, and the "show" was one of the best. Everybody had a good time and enjoyed the occasion.
 Mir. Nels G. Johnson has recently purchased from MT. Eastburg his in terest in what was formerly known as the Storseth & Sogge Dray Line. The new firm is styled Johnson & Sogge. Mir. Johnson who is in charge of the business, has the exclusive handling of the Treadwell coal.
 The Daily Record Miner, of the 7th inst, contains an excerpt from the Pa cific Reporter, citing case that came up before the supreme court of Wyom- ing, in which one M. c. Brown is con- victed of using vile, opprobrious and indecent epethets as applied to the court. The language used by Brown is so repulsive and vulgar that we refrain from republishing it. This, we believe, is the same Brown who has injected himself into the pulpit at divers and sundry times to lecture Alaskans upon the subject of "Christian Citizenship"
 Rev. Krause took for his text last Sabbath evening, the 33d and 34th verses of the 10th chapter of Luke, and concluded the series of sermons on the subject, "Who is my neighbor?" with a telling recapitulation of the Samaritan, who, although what m fight be called to- day skeptic and an unbelieyer, had in his heart that true principal of Chrlst's teachings-brotherly love. Thequestlon Who is my neighbor? was answered; "He that succored the wounded man, after the prince and Levite had passed him to the other side." The discourse was full of good thoughts and was one of the best we have beard from that pulpit.
 In honor of their sixth wedding an niversary MT. and Mrs. Tony Tub5s, of Treadwell, entertained number ot their young friends last Monday even ing. Invitations were issued in verse and answers were expected in the same form. Miss Fannie Penglase, whose pro- duction contained the most merit, was given book of poems as prize. In a literary contest, Miss Alice Henson al so carried off prize. Each guest wore an emblem representative of a popular song, and Geo. Woodruff won box of bon bons in guessing what they were Refreshments were served, consisting of sandwiches, oyster patties, salted almonds, olives, ice cream, cakes and coffee. Among those present were Misses Henson, Galloway, Warren, Pen, pIase, McKanna, and Miss Parrish, oi Juneau. Messrs. Christoe, Sterling, Will lis, Shorthill, Woodruff, Hum and Reed.

A Turtle Race.

Zone Of the most curious races ever
saw" writes a correspondent of the
London Taller, twas on Mr.. Carl Ha-
genbeck's lawn at Hamburg. Some
seven children mounted on the backs
of large turtles or tortoises raced across
the lawn. To give impetus to their
queer steeds most of them armed them
selves with cabba ges, which they tied
to the end of sticks, ever and anon
dangling them as tempting morsels in
front of the turtles. 1t was strange
race and occupied some time. Every
now and then Il turtle would grasp a
piece Of cabbage and then quietly eat
it before resuming it's Journey"
