Citizens Indignant.

SUNRISE. May 10.-Deputy Mar shal Sexton left to-day on steamer Tyonic to take up headquarters at Seward with Commissioner Hill dreth, who established his office at Seward about two months ago. He takes all his family and house fur nishings with him, which appears as if he intended to leave for good although there is a petition being circulated addressed to Judge Wick ersham to retain him here.
 It is generally believed and un- derstood that tho officials leave here without orders from the court, and the miners and citizens are quite indignant, as it is believed

The steamers leaving Seattle for Nome and Yukon points have sold every berth, and some are still waiting to come north. The rush to Alaska this year will probably be as great as ever.

that they will take all the records with them, thus depriving this dis trict of a recording office, which was established through the en- deavors of the people here, about a year ago by Judge Wickersham. The people were much pleased when a recording office was estab- lished, but since Commissioner Hildreth expresses himself as hav- ing no use for Sunrise or the peo- pie in it, and has endeavored to remove the office from Sunrise, it has created quite little feeling against the officials who are not at all popular here.
 This district is one of the best mining districts on the coast,which cannot be disputed, and there is more money invested in actual min- ing operations than any other point on the Kenai peninsula or Cook inlet, and to deprive it of a recording office is unwarranted and unjust. The citizens are spec ulating as to whether their move- ments will be sustained by the dis trict court. or if the district will be re-divided, and a new commission CT and recorder be appointed for Sunrise.

A great rush to Fairbanks and neighboring points is now on, and it will assuredly be great season for that camp. Last year the pla ce was practically unknown, the sea- son was short, and it got the usual black eye of all mining camps. but during the winter sufficient work was done to demonstrate a great future for the camp. What will materially add to its greatness is the fact that men who desire to leave for the states some time dur ing the winter are not now, as here- tofore, forced to leave in September in order to get out before the Yu- kon freezes, it proves to be a winter as we'll as summer diggings. and when the summer washing is ov.r r work can be continued until such time as the miner wishes Io start for the states, allowing himself 16 or l7 days to come out over the mail route to Valdez, where ship can be caught every week to con- meet with Seattle and the outer
 world. The mall is carried into Fairbanks all through the winter over the trail leading from Valdez, and anyone wishing to go in early can leave Valdez over this route, taking a good outfit with them and reach their destination in from 15 to l7 days. The journey has been made by many during the winter, some even making the round trip, and it is admitted by all to be the quickest, cheapest and best route.

MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT.

Arrangements have been made by which the PRosPEcToR will be handled this summer by a capable man at St. Louis, who is directly connected with the Alaska exhibit. One hundred copies will be distributed each week among people who are interested in the showing made by Alaska at the fair. We do not feel justified in assuming the expense ourselves of getting out the special editions that should be published to advcr- tise the town and adjacent coun- try, but we wish to call tine atten- ton of the local merchants to the fact that business men who are sufficiently interested in Alaska, or this section, to read the PRos- RECTOR, will form an estimate of the town from the advertising car ried by the paper, more than they will by the reading matter.
 While we are willing to stand the expense of putting 100 copies per week in the hands of interested parties, in hopes that it may do this section some little good, it is up to the merchants to assist in giving the paper the appearance of representing live, up to date community, by advertising in it.. There are very few concerns in town which are not represented in our columns, but every little helps, and now is the time for them to awake and advertise where it will do some good.

Doubt Value Of "N.Rays."

The existence of the rays discov-
cred by Blondlot, of Paris, and named
by him 'n-rays," about which much
has been written lately, is seriously
questioned by an eminent German
physicist, who thinks M. Blondlot has
suffered from optical illusions, owing
to the fact that in manipulating the
screens the experimenter turns aside
and this causes an apparent increase
in the light on the test object. John
Butler Burke, who is one of the wide
ly known English observers who has
been unable to produce those rays,
says: 81 am at a loss to find any
other explanation of M. Blondlot's re-
suits than that he has come across a
radiation to which some men are
blind. Self-hypnotisfn, due to fatigue
of the optic nerve, may account for
the results of one observer alone"
The fact that M. Blondlot has, in In
struments of precision, measured the
wave length of these rays would seem
to be conclusive evidence of their ex-
istence. And, too, Carpenter has,
by passing these rays through the
brain, produced perception of light
which changed the size of the pupils.

Value of Radium in Cancer.

In the London Electrician there is
printed an article in which the author
states that while it Is not yet possible
to speak with certainty as to the
exact therapeutic value Of radium, yet
he is confident that by it's means it is
possible to modify profoundly and in
some cases apparently to cure surface
rodent ulcers and epitheliomata. The
method Of application is to enclose
the radium in a small India rubber
capsule with mica window or in a
small glass tube. The radium is used
most conveniently in the form of the
bromide, and should be Of good quail
ity. The small tube containing the
sale must be placed directly in con-
tact with the ulcerating surface 1t
apparently is of no use if applied to
the unbroken skin surface. The &C.
tion of the radium is strongest at the
immediate point of contact, and les
sens in power according to the dis
lance from that point of contact.

New ThimbIe Attachment.

When we hear of poor bachelor
sewing on. buttons, mending rips and
tears, pricking his fingers and break
ing his needles, we are inclined to
say, Serves him right! He ought to
get married and let his wife do the
mending." But how about the woman
when she has to do this work? OF
course, she Is more experienced by
long years of practice and can handle
her needle more deity and perform
neater work than the man; but even
she will sometimes break needles in
striving to work them through an ex-
tremely hard piece of cloth. Some
one may say that here is where the
thnmble comes into play, and that the
man does not know how to use that
device, any way. But, even with the
aid of the thimble to force the needle
through as far as possible, it is more
than likely that trouble will be en-
countered in pulling it through, as the
pointed end affords so little chance to
secure a hold which will not slip on
the smooth surface.
Here is where the advantage of the
device shown in the picture makes it.

LIQUID from Stove Pipe.

drips from the pipes of a stove burn
ing wood contains creosote, pyrolig-
neous acid, Qmpure acetic acid) and
other matter found in "oil of smoke"
but. we very much doubt the advisa-
bility of using it for curing meat. We
should expect it to contain iron, dis
solved by liquid from the stove pipe,
and this, if present. would assuredly
spoil it for such a purpose OF
course, if it is desired to make test

gorunds of poisonous substances be-
ing present, but as the taste impaired
to the meat may be more or less I'M
pleasant, we should experiment at
first on small scale.

vic diseases have no idea that their
trouble is due to catarrh. The majority
of the people think that catarrh is a
disease confined to the head alone.
This is not true. Catarrh is liable to

bronchial tubes, lungs, stomach, kid
neys and especially the pelvic organs.
Many a woman has made this discov-
