The Signal Master Game.
Clear the middle of the room and
place in row a number of chairs,
three less than the number of play
ers.'
Blindfold one of the players and
select another for signal master. The
blindfolded one stands apart from the
chairs, holding wand. The signal
master takes his place at one end of
the row of chairs and the other play
ers arrange themselves in a chain
behind him, holding each others coats
or dresses.
Then the chain Of players walk
slowly around the chairs, the blind
folded one waving his or her wand,
and singing:
''The signal master will give a call; !;
Take your chairs, then, one and all. !"
After the players have thus marched
gravely around the chairs two or
three times, the blindfolded one sud.

out "Chairs!"

WHY Wiz WE DC NOT Mix If.

Will Chamberlain, who furnishes
the classic literary truck for the Elk

lican, in casting about Il week or so
ago for a space filler dug out the fol-
lowing plum Of thought from his rich
mental puddin' and ithas been worked
overtime by our exchanges eve since:
Editors ought to get out and mingle
mere with the hearty granaers and
not hobnob altogether with business
men," Like most writer's whoimpose
upon themselves the task of periodic
ally covering the fields CT politics,
poetry and philosophy, Will OCCASION
ally hits the nail on the head. We
have always realized that we were
missing something in the newspaper
business and in our languid way have
tried vainly to imagine what it was,
but, as usual, it remained for one of
the fraternity to solve the problem.
We have done everything else since
firtatious destiny cast us adrift with
a good constitution and a type stick,
but mingle. We have set type, sawed
wood, swept floors, turned press,
kicked job work, written ads, passed
bills, paid G. O. DIS, skirmished local,
dunned and been done, talked politics,
religion and gossip. We have enter
tanned company for two mortal hours
on press day with a smile on our face,
murder In our heart and Precipitation
streaming from u spinal ridge beam.
We have listened with patience while
our friends measured outs to us sub
iect matter for a rich roast for
enemies of theirs with the underlined
injunction that their names be not
mentioned; we have put or our
rainment at 5 a. M, and laid it off at
11:30 p. M. and spent the interim
lgrinding out encomiums for men who
some day stopped their patronage be-
cause they could not get our editorial

we have done all these things;
but nary a mingle with the hearty

mil led it. Some day when we get a

A QUEER PROPOSITION.

We do not know upon what hypothesis the city council base the proposition that upon real and personal property must be paid in cash and that city warrants shall not be accepted in lieu of cash Ever tsnce Nome became an incorporated town city war rants have been accepted cash in tho payment of these taxes But the present city council seems to have evolved another plan. The council will con tnue to issue in the discharge of certain of the city's obligations while other more binding obligations paid in money. In the methods pur- sued by the council there is evinced the spirit of favoritism, discrimination against class of the citys creditors to the disadvantage of another class whose claims are just as equitable as the other. It is not TIE NUGGErs desire to critcise where criticism is not due, to cavl because it is the fashion But free to say that the city councils action in the matter is unreasonable and unwarrant- ed by any exigency real or imagined. The councils record is far from satisfactory There has been toe much opera bouffe, and too small display of real business ability or a determination upon tho part o most of the members of the council to place the city upon sound financial basis.
 We believe that the expressed determination o the city council to refuse to accept city warrants in pa yment of the taxes specified above is unsound and untenable, and that body will be compelled to face absolute refusals the part of taxpayers to carry the city's paper in their pockets while they dig uI gold to discharge their tax indebtedness.

POISON IN FOOD.

Periodically our health authorities take cognz- of the fact that dangerous poisons contained in the milk supplied to a comnunity, and that nearly all canned goods are a menace to the public health Thereafter, for short time there is great activity in health department circles dairy wagons are raided, and the poisonous jams and preserves sold by the leading grocers are analysed and con demned Then our health authorities become curi- ousiy apathetc again, and the business of purveyng poison in foods uffs is carried with inn punity. This alternate activity and apathy the part of the public servants employed to safeguard the public health is somewhat suspicious The sale of adulterated milk is perhaps of all others the most reprehensble, since milk is used largely than any other article of food, and by many infants and inyalids-a circumstance which renders even the ton, namely, the admixture of water serious of fense. Formerly this the only form of sophisca-
 on generally known and practiced but of late there has been general increase in the employment of sundry germicidcs and preservatives notably borax, boracic acid sacylic acid and, of late, formadehyde
 It is conended by dealers in canned goods that it is absoute necessary to adulterate them, but they maintain that the substances used are harmless un- less taken in large doses. Nevertheless people have right to know what they eating, and there should be law requiring manufacturers of canned goods to set forth upon the label the name of every substance contained in each can and the quantity of each.

PROBE + 10 InE BOIlOM.

It is a subject for condolence that the affairs of & small isolated town cannot be administered without seething, rotten scandals. Weeks ago TIE NUGGET anmadverted upon the iniquitous practice conceived in the brains of couple of city councilmen and rati- fed by majority to the end that the fallen women and other female unfortunates should be made tho objects of as nefarous system of hlackmail as was ever permitted to exist in a civilized community An uncviized community, of course, would not tolerate for moment such baneful species of graft
 Time was when fine was levied upon the women of the tenderloin. It amounted we believe, to $11 a month, and was paid into the city treasury and was used for municipal purposes" So iniquitous was the practice that certain councilman denounced 1t. only it seems, because there better plan to be pursued. So it was abandoned and system of health inspection CD" denounced heretofore in these columns, and never denied by anyone, as a private graN was instituted in its place. This sys- tenn has been pursued notoriously, hagrantly un- blushngly. How much of this kind of tribute has been exacted from a helpless and unfortunate class we do not know. It amounts, however, to several thousands of dollars-al collected by and with the "authority" of resolution of the common council oi the city of Nome. Such an imposition could only be fixed upon an ostracised class and the good people of Nome are not to be commended because of any active interest they evnced m attempting to lhhoi the immolation upon the altar of greed and graft number of helpless, unfortunate women. Had any real purpose been subseryed by this "medical nsptc ton" there could have been little just criticism AS most people know, tho system pursued under the au- thority of a resolution of the common council of Nome which may be found in full elsewhere in these columns is and has been the veriest farce.
 The climax has been reached; an exposure has come, and we sincerely hope that the investigation of this fostering of corruption and rotenness will not be closed until complete exposure has been made no matter whom it affects,

A partisan territorial con- vention has been called to meet at Juneau on October 26 next, the stated purpose being to discuss from a non partisan point of view matters appertaining to the well fare of the district. From recent advices received we are inclined to the opinion that an effort will be made by anti-territorialists to cap ture the convention and lambaste the territorial idea. Perhaps they may effect the capture, but they will not be able to even mutilatt the territorial seed. It will germ mate and grow despite all opposi ton.

It would seem that the city coun- cil should lose no time in securing patent for the townsite. The preliminary work is we'll under way, Attorney P. J. Coston being retained by the city for the pur- pose of perfecting the title to the townsite. The papers in the case are voluminous and we are assured complete. With the case properly presented to the interior department, there will probably be little doubt that patent will be issued carly next summer. In this connection it may be stated that the town of Valdez has already taken steps to secure patent for its townsite, an entorprlsing citizen of that burg having advanced the necessary cash to defray the ex- penses.
