Hot weather Costumes.

The great question of how to dress in the burning hot weather is the cru- cial one. The linen suit, white or ecru, | takes precedence for street wear. These are almost invariably made with the little, loose hanging Jacket, as the blouse coat is too hot for continuous wear. These little boleros, are shorter than ever giving the effect of mere blouse waist decorations. Some of them. indeed. are nothing but little shoulder capes cut very fulI but with out sleeves. They are embroidered and incrusted with heavy lace appliaued all along t . edges of the body and sleeves. and then the fabric is cut away from below to give transparent effect The shoulder effects are very long. which doesn't necessarily mean that the shoulders themselves are long, for that is awkward. but that the lace trimming comes over the sleeve in such way as to give that effect The skirt Of nearly every up to date suit clears the ground. and this style of skirt, plaited very full and without any train. gives added distinction to an otherwise plain costume.
 A good deal of heavy cotton and Iin- en fringe is being used on the smart

The Municipal Enterprises of Freiburg. The Pilgrim.
 On the edge of the Black Forest, mid way between Strassburg and Basel. with a view sweeping the rich Rhcin Valley as far as the rugged outline of Vogesen Is the city of Freiburg. At a great natural gateway to the more inaccessible parts of the country be- yond. since the middle ages when it was founded. it has been famous as a place of trade. In many respects, its early history is that of the typical south German town. Its merchants, in spite of continuous warfare with their noble neighbors grew rich and pros porous and built great substantial houses with carved stone fronts and wrought-iron transoms. The universi- ty had its roll of distinguished pupils before the discovery of America. Mas ter masons and stone cutters were sent from here all over the neighboring parts of Europe, and the delicate frost like beauty of the cathedral at Milan and the intricate tracery of the west front at Strassburg testify to the skill of their work. At home also they were not idle and in the center of tho market place arose a great church of red sand stone. Although reflecting the various styles of architecture that came and went during the 400 years that passed from the time when its cornerstone was laid until the last vault In the choir was finished, it Is nevertheless always graceful and never inharmon- ious.
 But today. interesting as the old side of Freiburg may be to the esthete and student 1t is not for this reason that this comparatively small town of about 60,000 inhabitants is occupying such an important position in the eyes of other and far larger cities, The eminent

Keep your bleOd clean as you keep your body clean. You don't wait untii your body is foul before you cleanse 1t.
 It is matter of surprise that many peo- pie who are so careful to have clean bodies make no effort to keep the blood clean. Everyone knows that uucleaunesa breeds dissasei that those who do not keep their bodies In a wholesome condition aud who dwell in filthy surroundings are the first to fall when some epidemic of disease sweeps the country. But foul blood Is more dam gerous to the individual than foul body an active hindrance to health. But unelean blood Is afi active threat against the very hte-4t makes the body a prepared breed ing place for disease.
 It Is part of Natures plan for human bafety that in many cases where the blood ls impure or corrupt she sets a sign on the body in proof of the corrupt current that Is flowing through the veins. Scrofula with Its dishguring sores and scars, eczema with its irritation, salt-rheun, letter, erysipelas boils, pimpies and other eruptions are only the outward signs of the iinpurity of the blood. But often Id the earlier or simpler stages of the blood's impurtty there are no outward signs of thie eonditionl only dull, lanRuid, sluggish feelings, which are com Inoniy attributed solely to the sluggishness of Che liver.
 Of all preparations for purifying the blood Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov- cry easily takes the hrst place. It elimin- ates from the blood the elements which clog and corrupt 1t, and which breed and feed disease. It acts directly on the blood making. glands, Increasing their activity, and 60 increasing the supply of rich, pure blood which is the life of ths body,

Budget From Bullion Creek
 District
Isneclnl Corresp, ndenee.l

Bullion City, Feb. 2- There are now about 75 miners in the vicinity of Bull lion creek, Some are sinking prospect holes on the didlrent creeks while others are preparing for the spring work. Thus far very few have been able to sink Go bedrock. The ground is frozen only two feet down, and fit were possible to run bedrock drains all could reach bedrock in a short time, but the scarcity Of wood to thaw with prvents the method of operation.
 Bullion is a summer camp. Very little can be accomplished in the way of prospecting at the present. time.
 Ernest Johnson, who is located on 4s below on Bullion, has dirt that pays 3 cents to the pan several feet from bed rock. Several others have just as good prospects. Nearly every one is prepar- ing to get out their sluice box lumber for the summer, and make other neces- sary arrangements for early operations
 Several creeks have been recently located. Ora, Ophir, and Willow among them. The two former creeks are situated about 10 miles up the Sims river, while Willow empties in- to Bullion creek, at the Bullion City townsite. Eight or ten men are now prospectinglon this creek with aattering results. It is believed by those sinking holes that they will be able to reach bedrock without the interference of water, it will probably be 20 or 25 feet to bedrock on some parts of this creek. Several old miners contend that this is the oldest creek on the river channel thus far discovered in the camp and pre- die; rich ground when the pay streak Is definitely located

Judge Browns Official Con-
 duet to Be Investigated

A special dispatch in the Seattle Post-Intelligeneer of last Sunday from Washington says:
 Special agents Of the department Of justice will be sent to Southeastern Alaska Co examine into Che affairs of the federal court for the First district, ths examination ha,ing special refer ence to many reports that have come to the president and the attorney general rejecting upon the conduct of Judge Melville c. Brown.
 "One of the charges against Judge Brown relates Co his connection with one of the two rival water companies at Ketchikan. Written and verbal re- ports, with lots of ginger iu them, have come Co the president and attorney gen. sral that the judge owned large int. r. est in one of the companies, and that he held it during the earlier stages of the bitter fight The charge is that Judge Brown disposed ot his interest just be- fore the water company litigation was brought into bis court, that he trans fsrred it to Watson J. Hills, clerk Of the court. and that the application of the Hills interest for an injunction against the rival company was heard and granted.
 "It is also told against the judge that be has appointed the clerk of the court Co important receiverships over proper ties involved at one time or another in litigation before the court
 ''The transportation interests are supposed Co be opposed Co the reap pointmeut of Judge Brown, and their representatives are expected co use their influence against him.
 "One late incident has made a bad impression here That is the action of Judge Brown in permitting .it not pro euring1 bis own election as delegate to the repub jean national convention. To would be held less against the judge if he had been chosen as 8 irregular, but he is delegate elected by ,he so- called rump convention.
 Judge Browns side of the stories brought here against him has not been heard. He may find it necessary Go come Go Washington before his prssa1, term expires next June.

LOOK OUT
Takers Operating in Bullion
 Creek Country

lDaily Alaskan Special Correspondent
 Bullion City, Feb. 2.-There are fakes in all trades, and a certain class of would-be miners and prospectors make that of prospecting not unlike all the others in this respect. Several of this class Of men are now on Bullion creek. They came in with small out fits, telling everybody they met how they were going to reach bedrock and how soon they could locate the pay streak. They reached the creek, start ed one or two holes and then quit and lay around camp until their provisions were used up They have now started for Whitehouse and other places with aattering stories as to what they could do provided they had a summers outfit of provisions on the Creek. They will no doubt endeavor to invegle some in- terested parties on the creeks into grub stalking them for the summer. These outfits will cost several dollars each, delivered on the creek. If these .fakers succeed in getting their schemes through, the parties who stake them will, at the end Of the summer, be wiser to the amount donated, and the faker will have reveled in idleness at their expense.
 Several of these humbugs were in on the stampede last fall. A great many of them sold interests in their claims. These joint owners are now the object of their prey.
 No man should grub stake a man for this camp unless he knows him to be reliable, as 1t is too expensive a place in which to live in idleness. A word 10 the wise in this matter should be suhi- cient.

LIGHT ON II
Franchise Question Coming
 to the Front

A petition to the city council on be- half of the Skagway Light & Water company for new franchise has brought the question of franchises to the front again and it will be one of the matters that will come to the front at the meeting tomorrow night. The old by-common-eonsent govern ment, existing before the incorporation of the city is supposed to have granted franchises that are now operting the railroad and water, light and telephone plants. But nearly all of the records cf the pioneer administration long ago mysteriously vanished and the city council has DO means of ascertaing the extent of the priviledges that have been conferred upon these various com panies.
 A copy of the Daily Alaskan of July 9, 1898, contains a news article that throws light upon the water franchise, at least. 10 says
 "The common council met last even ing iu regular weekly sessi-u and passed the water franchise "The bin as 1t passed provides that the franchise shall continue in force until the town shall have been regularly incorporated under federallaw and ,uutu a town goverr- ment shall have been elected under it.. Then such town government shall have power to amend the franchise iu any reasonable manner.
 "The new bill will become a law as soon as 1t is signed, accepted and pub lished"
